"Announcment"

Hello Anime and Manga Fans, sorry to say that due to collage and this weekends
"comic-con" I've had no time to do a review, and as such you'll have to wait till next
week. Plus though bear in mind this isn't defiant, I might have to slow down on the
reviews till I can sort out a new routine.

Also, since there's now 40-odds worth of Anime's on this blog (WHOOW!) I'll soon
be adding tags for those looking for certain "Genres".

Lastly, to make up for there being no review this week here's some info for ya. First,
"Tokyo Ghoul's" 1st season has been dubbed yay!. Second, "Muv Luv Alternative"
will have a 2nd season some point in 2016

Thanks for reading, will catch up with this weeks review soon, and as always, ENJOY!

 

"Muv Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse"

Hello Anime and Manga Fans!, A bit late but never the less this time we are looking at
"Muv Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse" a 24 episode Anime that was made back in 2012.
It's Genres are: Romantic comedy, Mecha, Action, Military, Sci-Fi, so, lets begin....

It started back in the 1960's, a time we all know as a time of hippies and the famous
"Moon landing", but after this is when we enter this Anime world, for back in 1958 they
saw something strange on mars, and by 1967 they saw the same thing on the Moon but
then they new it was Extra-Terrestrial life, and when they eventually came to earth in
1973, it was not the first encounter everyone was hoping for.

There visitors from space well,,,, invaded Earth, and Humanity gave them the name
"BETA" ("Beings of Extra-Terrestrial origin that are Adversaries of humanity").
Twisted, grotesque beings that you would think where part of some generic experiment,
that varies in height (like those in Attack on Titan) so since most of these gruesome
creatures are much bigger then your average Tank and their preferred style of getting up
close and personnel in huge numbers, cancels out our usual style of a good old fire fight.

So Humanity responded by making Mecha suits called Tactical Surface Fighters (TSF
for short) these Mech's are 18m tall, and while having (of course) firepower, are also
equipped with various melee weapons to deal with any that get to close (think movie
"pacific rim") and while these new weapons slow down the number of defeats, the war
against the "BETA" by 2001 have claimed 2.4 billion lives and the abandonment of major
parts of the world like "Europe" and "Asia", victory, looks bleak, (again, "pacific rim").

Now our Hero's adventures come about, the year is 2001, 28 years after first contact, and
at this time, the "Soviet Union", "United States", and "Japan", are the main forces fighting
back, "Yui Takamura" is a cadet in the Imperial Royal Guards, (japan), learning to pilot a
TSF, though she then has a rather strong reality check, when the "BETA" attack the
capital, where she is learning with her classmates, and end up joining the war early.

With japans capital attacked, and there issues upgrading there "TSF"s, the "US" offer  a
joint development program in a international mutual development project of "TSF"s, so
"Yui" is is given responsibility of the project (on japans behalf) and is sent to the "US" /
"Soviet" outpost in "Alaska" where the joint effort will take place.

At the same time, the "US" sends "Yuya Bridges", is a  "TSF" pilot for the US Army, to be
there test pilot, the thing is though, he's half Japanese and half American, and jue to his
father (Japanese) leaveing at an early age, has a deep hatred of Japanese, so the idea of
working along side them must make his skin crawl, but his inbound meeting with "Yui"
will change their destiny's drastically.

Will they get along and defeat "BETA", or will they coz Humanity to divide and die ?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right, that's that, a combination of "Attack on Titen", "Pacific rim" and "Guilty crown",
this is gona be interesting, also I had a quick look for second season and found no news,
also, one of the characters look like "Miku" XD, so as usual here's the links to the Trailer,
Note: the real one's where utter SH&£!, so I have a music one instead, hope you like.
DVD and dub online, btw for what ever reason the usual sites I link only had 12 episodes
of dub, yet others have the full 24ep, so if there's anything wrong with the site let me know.
And as an exstra that you "AoT" Fans might know I found a Height calendar so you can
make out the size ratio from a person, Mecha, and the versus aliens, ENJOY!!!!

"A Lull In The Sea"

Hello Anime and Manga Fans!!!, This time we are looking at "A Lull In The Sea" it
was made in 2013, (with dub included, nice of them) its Genres are : Drama, Fantasy,
Romance. So, lets have a read......

Long ago when the world was young, Humans lived in the sea, protected by their
"Sea God", which bestowed upon them "Ena", a substance that allows them to live
below the waves, but some humans chose the surface, and in doing so the "Sea God"
left them, taking away there "Ena" so they may never return to the ocean floor.

Time went on and a rift has formed between the land and the sea people, (be it a grudge
or a sense of heresy to there god, you'll need to find out) though contact between them
has stayed the same.

Due to this when a school in the underwater town of "Shioshishio" is forced to close
down due to a overwhelming flood of "Saltflake snow", four 14-year-old middle school
students "Hikari", "Manaka", "Chisaki" and "Kaname", get transferred to "Mihama
Middle School" in the surface fishing village of "Oshioshi".

Their lives will change as they have to deal with the discrimination between the surface
and the ocean, their personal lives, and there feelings,,, as to there surprise they meet a
fellow student called "Tsumugu" a fisherman with a deep love with the sea (go figure x).
But with it being forbidden to fall for a surface dweller, how will this go down.

Will they adjust to a part life on the surface, or will this hatred boil over and burn them ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well that's that, a story between two worlds so close but so far, the adjustments that will
be made, and the puppy love x3, though best bit, No Fanservice! finally, fyi I don't look
for that stuff I just review what comes my way, (cough) anyway, down below are the usual
links, trailer, dvd and series online. Note: there is no mention of a 2nd season at this time.

So as always thanks for reading, leave a comment, and I hope you ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Highschool of the Dead"

Hello Anime and Manga Fans!! This week we're taking a look at an old yet well known
Anime called "Highschool of the Dead", it's 12 episodes long (13 + ova) it's Genres are
Action, Horror, Harem, Ecchi, Supernatural (2nd season still undecided) so, lets begin...

The time is present day Japan, and it starts with a look at "Takashi Komuro", "Takashi"
is a troubled Highschool student, long ago when he was young a girl by the name of
"Rei" promised him she would marry him when they got older, and has been in love
with her ever since, they became best friends, but because he was unsure about her
feelings for him, which led her to go out with one of "Takashi"s other mates, "Hisashi".

This daydream of the past soon ends as the world becomes infected by a virus that
brings about the walking dead, this event was called the "Outbreak", in this event of
walking, screaming, hungry corpses coming around, "Takashi", "Rei", "Hisashi" along
with other students where in there Highschool when the "Outbreak" happened, and so,
they team up, along with the schools nurse, they take the chance to venture out onto the
streets in search of a safe haven from the ravenous horde, and there parents.

Will "Takashi" and co get to safety, will "Rei" become his, or will they all become food ?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well that's that, have to say I've been told to watch this alot, if the background hasn't
given you the hint I love zombies, and to find out after all this time that it only has 13
episodes, kinda disappointed, but I still have a lot of respect for this Anime regardless I
can tell by what I've read that it sets the standard, kind-of reminds me of "Guilty crown".

Anyway, as usual, links for trailer, dvd, and dub online are below.
One last thing, this was made around 2006, and was dubbed in 2010, the 13th episode
hints on a 2nd season, but from what I found with a quick look, is that due to earthquakes
and tsunamis in Japan, they apparently passed a law forbidding the adaptation of any
stories about the apocalypse, a-bit far-fetched but kinda makes sense (if true) oh!, and
the director still has interest on making the 2nd season so thanks for reading leave a
comment for next review or your own input to the story (please no spoilers) and as
always ENJOY!! Note: please keep hands away from the screen when watching XD
