Song: Goya no Machiawase by Hello Sleepwalkers

Summary:
Hiyori Iki was a regular middle school student until she was hit by a bus while trying to save the life of a jersey-wearing person named Yato. This incident causes her to transform into a half-phantom. Soon after she learns that Yato is a god, her life is never going to be the same again.

My Thoughts: The series was kept short with no word on a second season as of yet. None the less I enjoyed the show. My girlfriend on the other hand is in love with show! Now we wait for season two.
 4/5

Medaka Box Series

Medaka Box has two completed series and the 3rd currently in the works. For this review I will try my best not to spoil the story too much. If you like Action, Comedy, and Romance give this show a shot. Please keep in mind that Season 1 is a bit slower when it come to action (compared to season 2) but it is worth the wait and there is more than enough to keep you entertained. I wouldn't recommend skipping it because you with miss out on a shit load of details.

Medaka Box Season/Series 1 (whatever you get the idea)

So the story starts off with Medaka Kurokami becoming the Student Council President at Hakoniwa Academy. She uses a suggestion box to help her peers and vowed to fulfill their request at all cost. With her childhood friend Zenkichi Hitoyoshi (whom didn't want to get involved to begin with) they take on any task giving to them. At Hakoniwa Academy you will notice that some students including Medaka seem to be gifted. Towards the end of the season 1 the plot completely changes.

Durarara Final Thoughts

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JC2RslsakQ

General Summary:Mikado Ryugamine long for a exciting and moves to the city of Ikebukuro. Reunited with his childhood friend Masaomi Kida, they attend Raira Academy. Masaomi warns Mikado about this strange city. Ikebukuro is home to a "super human" named Shizuo Heiwajima, a mysterious gang know as The Dollars, a information broker named Izaya Orihara, and the Black Rider rumored to have no head. But there is more in this mysterious city.





My Thoughts:I just recently finished this show and I'm glad I picked it up! But I want to know more about the series so I will have to read the manga. The series is full of twist and surprises which were executed perfectly.I found it interesting that any character that didn't play a role in the series were gray. Loved the art style and music and I would probably watch it again dubbed. There is a lot of conversation in most of the episodes.




HEY FIRST EPISODE HERE!

Oniai First Impressions

Oniichan dakedo Ai sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne!

Here on ani-talk I like to mix it up. I can get bored with one genre fairly quick so I try to watch almost any and everything. With that said I bring you Oniichan dakedo Ai sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne! or Oniai for short.The english translation is something along the line of  As Long as There's Love, It Doesn't Matter If He's My Brother Right!

General Plot:

Akito has been separated from his sister Akiko for six years and decides to let her move in his dorm with him. Akiko excited and is filled with joy over the fact that she will finally she her older brother whom she wants a relationship with. With no shame in that fact she can't wait to live alone with her brother, but sadly Akito's dorm is filled with his close friends from school....... All of his roommates are women....... All of them want the same thing Akiko wants. Sadly Akito isn't interested in a romantic relationship with anyone in the house, but all the lady's including his sister still fight over him.

My Thoughts so far:

This show is hilarious. Yes I think it would be creepy if someone was in love with their sibling but this is anime relax. All of the girls in the dorm are completely different so seeing how they compete for Akito's attention although he doesn't want it is very entertaining.

BTOOM! First Impressions

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=iDtW4D7uLTI#!



General Summary:

Ryota Sakamoto is a 22-year old gamer and is one of the elite players in a first person shooter game called BTOOM! Think of the game like Master Chief (from halo) look alikes that fight with a various array of grenades. One day Sakamoto wakes up on a tropical island with a case full of what looks like bombs from the game.

Further Look Into The Story (SPOILERS):

The game makers of BTOOM! are seeking to either improve or find a new entertainment gateway for their product. To do so they take people put them on the island and make them play for real. To get off the island you most collect a set amount of chips from other players by killing them. Each and every person on the island was sent there by someone who wanted them to disappear.

My Thoughts:

I am currently on episode 9 and things have been getting more interesting with each and every episode. I can't wait til next week. The show does have a Batoru rowaiaru (Battle Royale) feel to it which I love.

Eureka Seven Final Thoughts

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-zmMVZpeb8  (Fan made Trailer)




General Summary:

Renton Thurston is a fourteen year boy growing up in a very dull place called Bell Forest. Renton is the son of Adrock Thurston a researcher for the military who died in a testing accident, saving the world when Renton was very young. With little to do in his small town Renton takes up a sport called Lifting. One of his role models is a legendary lifter named Holland. Holland is the leader of the renegade group Gekkostate. One day a member of the Gekko by the name of Eureka crashes her mech into his room. The world as he knows it is forever turned upside down.

Why You Should Watch:

I would highly recommend this show to anyone who loves a romance story with a nice touch of action. Although the world is completely different from ours Dai Sato and the rest of the team made it extremely easy to develop a deep connection with most of the characters. With each episode you see each character slowly grow as if you where aboard the Gekko with them. The sound track is awesome with works from Supercar, Bivattchee, Flow, Denki Groove, and many others. If you haven't seen this series yet the first two episodes may bore you bit. At least that's the experience I had when I first saw it or introduced it to others but they are important. Also don't fret over Sub v.s Dub with this show the dialog pretty much stays the same. I have watched Euerka Seven about 10 times half Subbed and half Dubbed.

Final Thoughts:

I have not fully read the manga so I can't tell you witch is better but the anime does have a completely different approach to the story. The same with the movie and Eureka Seven Ao (will cover another day).
With that being said the anime alone is awesome. It does get a little confusing here and there but other than that I have no complaints! Besides the fact that the "sequel" Ao isn't really clear on what was kept from the original story and what got the boot (If you have seen Eureka Seven take a look at Ao episode 0 - New Order to understand what I mean). Watching Eureka with others no matter if they didn't like anime or didn't like the genre, everyone pretty much reacted the same to the show.
