"Accel World"

Hello Anime and Manga Fans!!! This week we're taking a look at "Accel World" it's 24
episodes long, (26 adding ova) it's Genres are Action, Comedy, Drama, Romance,
Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, Fighting, Future, Growing Up, School Life, Virtual Reality.
(that's alot o_o) There is a 2nd season planed, get to that later, so, lets begin....

The year is 2046, Japan (as usual x) and people use devices called Neuro-linkers, where
via terminals, can go into the global net in the form of a virtual world with their own
customised characters. One short, overweight boy at "Umesato Junior Highschool"
called "Haruyuki" uses his local terminals at school to escape from the bully's who
constantly torment him, and though he has exceptionally low self-esteem, he's an elite
gamer (though he only plays "squash") fyi, his character is a small pig x).

One day, "Haruyuki" is once again playing "squash" on his own yet again, when his skills
attract the attention of "Kuroyukihime" (which means "Black Snow Princess") the most
popular and attractive girl in school, as-well as being Council Vice-President.
(her character is just her with butterfly wings and black dress) She shows "Haruyuki"
a game called "Brain Burst" a virtual reality fighting game, and with the use of a secret
peace of gear know as "Burst Linkers" go into an Accelerated World where time moves
much faster than in real life.

"Kuroyukihime" asks for "Haruyuki" help in reaching level 10 on "Brain Burst" by
earning "Bust points" through Duels, in order to meet the creator and find out the purpose
of "Brain Bust's" creation, but if "Haruyuki" loses all his "Bust points", he wont be able to
return!.

Will "Haruyuki" beat the game and make friends, or lose his chance to change his life ?

Well that's that, basically "Highschool dxd" but the main character being more hopeless x)
As for the second season, it's been said that "Reki" the director of "Accel World" and
"Sword art Online" has spoken to studios about it, but their response is that their busy,
so 2nd season IS! coming, but there's just no room for it at the moment, right, as usual
here's the links for the trailer, dvd, and dub online, Thanks for reading and ENJOY!!!

Hello Anime and Manga Fans, this weeks review is "The Ambition of Oda Nobuna",
it has 12 episodes (no new season planed) its Genre's are ,Romantic comedy, Action,
Historical, Alternate History, Harem. So, lets begin......

It starts with 17-year-old high schooler "Sagara Yoshiharu" his favourite strategy game
is "The Ambition Of Oda Nobunaga", which follows the story of the a famous daimyo
who played a huge part in unifying japan back in the 16th century "Nobunaga Oda"

One day though, "Sagara" it transported back in time to the "Sengoku period"
(16th century) where he ends up in the middle of a battle, where a man saves him from
a bullet. That man was "Hideyoshi Toyotomi", "Sagara" slowly learns that he's altered
history, especially since most of the famous daimyos are now girls. "Sagara" is taken in
by "Nobuna Oda", this reality's girl version of  "Nobunaga Oda". "Nobuna" takes him in
to replace "Hideyoshi", even calling him "Saru" (monkey, "Hideyoshi's nickname").

So now "Sagara" fights alongside "Nobuna Oda" to put history back on the right track
and to make "Nobuna's" ambition a reality.

Will they unify the land and put history back on track, or will it this troubled land burn ?

Well that's that, boy go's back in time and helps "Nobuna" take japan, we hope, and, duz
anyone else think the pink skulled ninja "Hachisuka" looks like "Koneko" from
"Highschool dxd" XD.

Anyway, there is no news on a 2nd season, it was made in 2012 but it follows only follows
4 out of the 12 books of the light novel, that and apparently the ending even hints on a 2nd
season, so it is possible, lets pray x), as usual here's the link to the trailer, dvd, and dub

"Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet 2nd Season Cancelled"

Hello Anime and Manga Fans!!!, some extra news here, sad to say, one of my favourites,
"Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet" 2nd Season, has been scrapped.

I was just re-watching it, and decided to see about the 2nd season, which turns out
Production I.G decided to stop. There reason ? “various reasons", that's it! no more of a
reason then, "we cant be bothered" attitude, but there is good news.

They have decided to turn it into a novel, along with 2 OVA episodes brought out some
point in 2015, and since this news is fairly resent, there was no news that I could find on
what thoughts reasons where.

Last tid-bit here, yes it's been cancelled, but it was in the making, so the ground work has
been done, 2 OVAs will be released and a novel along with it, so 2nd season REALLY 
depends on how they go. If the OVAs stands somewhere at the beginning of the novel,
then there's a chance, if they show different parts of the novel throughout, then making a
2nd season would be like driving into a brick wall.

Its not to say that they WILL make it, it's just that they MIGHT make it, here's a link to
the trailer for the OVAs and a wee news board so you can have a gander. ENJOY xP

"RWBY"

Hello Anime and Manga Fans!!! 2nd of this weeks double review is called "RWBY". It
has 28 episodes +2nd season, 3rd to come (22 if not including parts) its genre's are
Action, Adventure, Comedy, Science-fantasy, Drama, Fantasy, and School. So lets begin..

It starts literally in the beginning (before the series) man was born into a world of
unforgiving darkness, in the form of animals called the  "Grimm" bent on the destruction
of the light that man creates. But mans stubbiness (xP) led to the tool needed to fight back,
and win, that being "Dust" (made from crystallise) giving the wielder a force of nature that
gives both them and weapon magical powers, and with it man brought light into the world
and more importantly, life.

But in the present world of "Remnant" the fight against darkness is still ongoing, and
thoughts that use these ability's (professionally) are called "Huntsman" or "Huntresses",
and one girl called "Ruby Rose" dreams of being one, and after her attempt to stop a
robbery, a case of being in the "right place at the right time", she gets her chance.

Her talents with the "Rifle-scythe" (a rare weapon) are spotted by  "Professor Ozpin" the
head of "Beacon Academy" (think college) she tells him that she learnt to use it from her
uncle "Qrow" (the only other "Rifle-scythe" wielder) in "Signal Academy" (Highschool)
and is offered a place in "Beacon Academy" and in taking the offer has graduated 2 years
early (Yaay!).

Now "Ruby Rose" along with her new friends "Weiss Schnee" (Revolver-rapier)
"Blake Belladonna" (pistol-sword) and sister "Yang Xiao Long" (Shotgun-gauntlets)
head for the city of "vale" where they will be trained at ""Beacon Academy" as a team to become "Huntresses" and do battle against the "Grimm" and the darkness they bring.

Will "Ruby" become a "Huntresses" and bring light, or will the Darkness snuff it her out.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well that's it, but here's a Note: "RWBY" was produced by a US studio known as "Rooster
Teeth", who were previously known for their live-action shorts, machinima, and gaming
videos. According to the written material I found, "RWBY" had fewer resources to work
with, for thoughts that look for the small things, example "lip sink", or climbing a ladder,
it looks a-bit stiff. BUT everything else more then makes up for it.

With a plot, voice acting, and script that's just as good as any anime, and the top lore, is
the action scenes!, using there experience with video games, they have made action
scenes that blow even the best Anime's away!

The only other down side is that the length for the 1st seasons episodes verys from 6-16
mins of video (not surprising with there limits) but in the second season the length of the
episodes went to 12-18 mins, so I would guess that they are slowly getting better funding
for it. And who knows, by the time the 3rd season comes out it might reach the usual 20
min length, Note: 3rd season scheduled to be released some point in 2015.

As usual here's the links to the DVD English dub and the series online, the unusual thing
is that the trailer is 4 parts, one for each main character of the team mentioned above,

                           so thanks for reading and I hope you'll ENJOY!!!

"Durarara!!"

Hello Anime and Manga Fans!!, we'll be starting this weeks double review with the one
I teased about, which is called (Drum-roll) "Durarara!!" It has 26 episodes (62 if counting
second season :Note is still ongoing complication). It's Genre's are Action, Suspense,
Mystery, Supernatural, and the story, well, lets see......

It all starts with "Mikado Ryugamine" a teenage lad who dreams of the excitement of
living in the city, so when a childhood friend "Masaomi Kida" calls up and offers him a
place in "Raira Academy" in downtown "Ikebukuro" :Tokyo, he jumps on the next train.

When the train arrives at "Ikebukuro" he meets "Masaomi", and he gets a quick tour of
the neighbourhood, and a warning that the city may be exciting, but that doesn't mean
its not dangerous, the subject being that of "Ikebukuro" 3 warring gangs. Especially the
people within them, in one gang is "Shizuo Heiwajima" who is violent and superhumanly
strong, in another lies the information broker "Izaya Orihara", these 2 are constantly
butting heads, while the 3rd gang known as "The Dollars" lies in mystery.

Along with the "Dullahan" known as "Black Rider" (Irish version of the "headless
horseman"), who by chance "Mikado" spots on the very night of his arrival, things would
have went on as normal, but with the coming of a serial killer called "Slasher" these
people's will end up clashing, while the outcome of the city starts to unfold.

Will "Mikado" survive in the big city, or will the upcoming war end his adventure.

Well that's that, to clear up a topic here, a "Dullahan" is a Irish version of the "headless
horseman", but also a "Grim Reaper" combined. (moving on) lets see, season 2 is still
getting dubbed and made (12 eps dubbed done at time of this review) 3rd season planed
for 2016 (2017 latest) according to the notes out there this Anime follows many characters,
showing there lives and events unfold, but sharing the same space of time in the anime
(no wonder it's so long xP) point though it's well balanced, apparently never losing drive
or the mystery behind it, that sounds good right.

So, as usual the links below are Trailer, dvd (could only find dub on there site), and series
online, so go and watch the antics of all these unique characters and I hope you ENJOY!!!!
