Watch Episode 1

Attack on Titan

I think that covered the Summary.

My Thoughts:

I haven't seen the show dubbed so no thoughts on that as of yet. This show is a MUST SEE!!!! If you have missed out on this, I feel sorry for you. Out of all my reviews check this out first!!! I promise you Attack on Titian has everything you could possibly need in a series. Action, drama, a bit of romance, it has it all. I have watched this at least three times already binge watching with friends. After the first episode they don't want to go home so we end up watching all night long. Still not sure?





WATCH EPISODE 1 ALREADY !

My Thoughts:

I binged watched Black Lagoon a few months ago and sadly finished in two days. I love this show! This is also the first anime I've seen dubbed first in a very long time. If you're wondering they did a wonderful job. All the voices matched. I'm way too impatience to wait for season three so I'll start up on the manga soon.
Action, Comedy and Revy, what more could you ask for?

After the death of his pet cat Babu, Chihiro attempts to revive him with a potion found in a book he found a year before. Problem is the page that contains the last ingredient is ruined.

So I started watching this on Thursday and before I knew it the same night I finished it. I love the different approach to what a zombie is compared to the main stream definition. Give this show a shot you won't regret it.

Air Gear - Final Thoughts (warning must read manga to finish)

A new fad by the name of 'Air Treks'(think of jet set radio) has swept the nation. Using their A-Ts many groups and gangs were formed to compete in various events. Ikki is a middle school boy who is the toughest street-fighting punk on the east side of town. Ikki lives with four sisters that took him in when he was a kid. Unknown to him they were a part of the most infamous A-T gang called Sleeping Forest.

Michiko to Hatchin Final Thoughts

General Summary:

Hana Morenos is an adopted girl who lives with her abusive foster family, and has lost any hope of gaining her freedom. The family receives a strange call from a lady who claims to be Hana’s mother, saying that she will pick her up the following day. The lady turns out to be Michiko Malandros, a feisty and sexy inmate who successfully escaped from the supposedly “inescapable” Diamandra Prison. After forcefully freeing Hana from the household, the two embark on a perilous journey to track down a man who is deeply embedded into their past.

My Thoughts:

I'm not sure how I stumbled on this amazing story four years back but I'm glad I did. Produced by the makers of Samurai Champloo, Michiko to Hatchin is something you should put on your To Watch list. The art work has a nice South American mix to it and the action and drama pull you. The ending for the show was perfect!

Think of Enforcer as the hunting dogs. They’re a group of people used to capture criminals. Because their Crime Coefficient is high they are under the supervision of Inspectors.

Thoughts so Far:

If you liked the Minority Report  you will love this show. It's full of action and mystery and I'm glad I stumbled onto the show. Technology in the show is a bit mind blowing and cool. Don't worry about a slow start the show jumps right into the action.

Eureka Seven Ao - Final Thoughts

Fan made video.
The song used is Rumina - DJ Whitesmith
I think it fits well with the OST used for the show. Awesome job Zolmation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOo4rchaG0w


General Summary:

Ao Fukai is a 13 year old boy living in the year 2025 in Okinawa with Dr. Toshio Fukai ever since Ao’s mother Eureka disappeared 10 years ago. One day a mysterious group called Generation Blue attacks the local Scub Coral changing Ao’s life forever.


My Thoughts *SPOILLERS*:
As an anime (not taking into account it’s suppose to be a sequel)-

Getting passed the confusing and slow start I did enjoy the show. The fighting scenes were well done, and the soundtrack the great. Towards the end I was hating how with each episode ending I wanted to find out more.

As a sequel-

To be honest as a sequel from the anime I didn't like the approach they took. It's like they forgot about the all the original characters. Then the constant time shifts, the fact the Eureka and Renton seemed very selfish to me. For example when Ao wanted to save his parents, Renton let him like everything was completely fine. I'm glad the show came out, and not taking into account the original anime I did enjoy it, but I would have preferred a movie or short OVA about what happened right after the events of the original series. But that's just my take on the series. I would like to know yours.

FLCL - Final Thoughts

General Summary:

Naota is you average 12 year old boy living with his father and grandfather in the city of Mabase. Life is turned up side down when the "Vespa Woman" Haruko crashes in him with her scooter and then bashes him in the skull with a guitar. Each time Haruko hits Naota strange machines from a strange company called Medical Mechanica escape from a portal created in his head.

Further into the Story and My Thoughts (Spoilers):

Haruko is using Naota in hopes to find the Pirate King, Atomsk. Although the plot is serious the show never takes its self seriously. The first time I saw the show I was honestly lost when it came to the plot, but the show was entertaining, the music was great, and the humor made this one of my favorite shows of all time. By the way I'm now a big Pillows fan. If you're looking for something short, action packed, surreal, with great music, this show is for you!

Samurai Champloo Final Thoughts

General Summary:

This show follows the journey of Mugen, Jin, Fuu. Fuu saved Mugen and Jin from being executed for inadvertently killing a crooked officer's son, by fighting in a tea shop. To pay back Fuu, Jin and Mugen have to help her find "the samurai who smells of sunflowers". During their travels they meet some very interesting people, and find themselves in strange situations.

My Thoughts:

I love this anime. The story was created by the same guys who did Cowboy Bebop and they did a fantastic job of mixing the Edo period with modern hip hop. I became fans of a lot of great artist through this anime such as: Tsutchie, Nujabes, Fat Jon, FORCE OF NATURE, MINMI, and many others. The action scenes are top notch with a nice hip hop flow to them. At times I wish the show was a bit longer.
