"Future Diary"

Hello Anime and Manga Fans!!! Tonight is Halloween, a time of fright or flight, while
all enjoy the night. And in the spirit of Halloween here's another Anime to make you
squeal, "Future Diary", it has 26 episodes (+1 ova) and it's Genres are: Action, Mystery, Psychological, Thriller, Shounen, Supernatural, Suspense, Romance, so, lets see what
the Future has in store for us, shall we.....

The story begins in japan with a young lad called 'Yuki', he's a bit of a loner that views
himself as a spectator from the side-lines, and as such spends most of his time righting in
his diary on his phone and talking to (what he believes) his imaginary friends 'Deus Ex
Machina' the God of Time and Space, and 'Muru', Deus's servant.

But one day he learns that 'Deus' might be real after all, as he is selected along with 11
others that have a diary to compete in a battle royal, the rule's, kill all other contestants
within 90 days, the last one standing will be the new lord of time and space, and they
have no choice, for if a winner is not decided in the said time, then the forfeit will be an
Apocalypse.

There weapons in this competition are there phones, or more specifically their 'Diary's'
that tell their future, but this is only a clue, as their futures can change on their actions.
If this wasn't bad enough for poor 'Yuki', 'Deus' tells the other's that 'Yuki' is the first
diary holder, and his favourite to win, this puts a big target on his back, for the others see
him as their biggest threat, so 'Yuki' teams up with 'Yuno', his obsessive, psychotic
stalker, and the 2nd diary holder, but 'Yuno' knows something, and it might be serious.

Will 'Yuki' and 'Yuno' find love and victory as gods, or will they find defeat and death ??

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

Well that's that, I feel like I've done it short but its still a good description on what to
expect. as for a second season ?, no chance, on all accounts they say it ended perfectly,
so unless the author of the anime feels like doing one, their isn't going to be.
Anyway usual links below trailer, dvd and anime online, if there's something you want to
add to this review or an Anime you want me do so others may watch your favourite one
leave a comment, and ENJOY!!. btw HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY !!!!!

"Elfen Lied"

Hello Anime and Manga Fans!!! 1 week left till Halloween YAAAY!, and to prepare you for
that frightful night the Anime your gonna read this week is one that will give you chills.
'Elfen Lied', A gruesome 13 ep anime that is sure to make you shiver, it's Genres are:
Action, Drama, Horror, Psychological, Romance, Seinen, Supernatural, Science-fantasy,
Ecchi, so grab a friend and your favourite pillow, and let me tell you, about 'Elfen Lied'.

'Elfen Lied' Takes place in Japan, where a fairly new spices has appeared, the
'Diclonius'. Rumoured to be selected by God to be the destruction of mankind, 'Diclonius'
are physically the same, apart from a pair of horns on their heads, but their main
difference, lies in their "sixth sense" and their telekinetic invisible arms called 'Vectors'.

'Vectors' are basically 'Ghost hands' that can pass through objects, but at the will of the
'Diclonius' can physically touch anything as well, to throw objects or more commonly
'Cut' there victims. If this wasn't enough of a reason to fear them, the 'Diclonius',  all
have a tendency towards violence, though whether this is in there DNA or caused by the
abuse from humans is unknown.

But for all there power they have one major weakness, they can't reproduce, at least, not
from a 'Diclonius' body, you see, with there 'Vectors', IF they touch a Human/male, they
pass a on a virus, which causes  the infected male's future children to be 'Diclonius', with
that said, their born sterile and female, and since their born from a human there called 
'Silpelits', but are no less powerful than any 'Diclonius'.

All these things (if not more) are the reasons why the Government have hunted them
down, captured, and isolated them in laboratories, (why laboratories? because Humans
want telekinetic powers as well XP) and this is where 'Elfen Lied' story begins.

For there is one "Diclonius" that can reproduce, that being Lucy, the 'Diclonius Queen',
who is being held in one such laboratory on an island near 'Kamakura', but one day she
breaks free from her restraints, and on her (slow walk) out, massacres the guards who get
in her way, apart from a guy called 'Kurama' (but you will find out why on your own x)

When it seems she's escaped, a sniper hits his mark, and Lucy falls of a cliff into the
ocean, only to wash up on the beaches of 'Kamakura', alive!, but not as she was, for the
shot may not have killed her, but it has made her lose her memory, creating a second,
childish personality, 'Nyu'.

This is when 'Kouta', a student at the local university, and 'Yuka' (his cousin) find her on
the beach, realising that she can't remember anything, they name her 'Nyu', for that's the
only thing she can say, and bring her home to live with them till her memory comes back.

This gets them involved in the many (often Brutal) attempts to recapture her by
Governments Assault teams and other 'Diclonius'. But 'Nyu's' darker side still comes
to the surface now and then, at it's apparent that she has a past that she's yet to reveal.

Will 'Lucy' go back to her violent ways, or will her friends change her for the better??

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

Well that's that, more of a backstory then an intro, but it was either, give you a boring look
at the start of the Anime, or give you a good Piece of lore behind it. (keep in mind its only
13 episodes) + 1 ova.

Now, when this was aired back in 2004, in a year it was awarded as one of the best
anime's of it's time, so 2nd season, no, why?, because unfortunately when the anime was
made the Manga was still ongoing, so it kinda veers off a bit. (like what happened to
'Deadman Wonderland') But hay you never know, for there's many people still asking.

And I don't know if it's true but I found an old (brought down) link, apparently IGN said that
there would be a 2nd season last year, but I can't confirm if it was legit, any info on it would
be appreciated (for I hate forums x\ )

Anyway hope you like it, usual links below trailer, dvd and anime online, if there's
something you want to add to this review or an Anime you want me do so others may
watch your favourite one leave a comment and get ready for  HALLOWEEN!!! XD

"Noragami"

Hello Anime and Manga Fans!!!! This week we'll be looking at "Noragami", a 12 Ep
anime (24 when 2nd seasons comes out) made in January 2014, it's Genres are: Action,
Adventure, Shounen, and Supernatural. So, let me tell you the tail,,,,,

There are two sides to this world, the "near shore" and the "far shore", Humans live on the
"near shore", while "deities" and "ayakashi" live on the "far shore". "ayakashi" are basically
ghosts, but they are only fragments of the deceased who live in the "far shore"/afterlife.
Sometimes, these "ayakashi" possess Humans to causes trouble, so its up to the "deities"
to send them back.

One such deity called "Yato", once a god of war, is now a minor god without a shrine,
who has styled himself as a "delivery god", drawing his number on walls offering help in
exchange for five yen, the usual donation made at shines, in the hope to gain followers.
He used to work with his Shinki, Tomone, but after a heated decision, went there different
ways.

"Shinki", is the name given to those that after wrongly dying becoming spirits of a pure
nature (not sucide or possessed by "ayakashi") are approached by  "deities" with the offer
of becoming there weapon (think "Soul Eater").

One day when "Yato" was looking for a lost cat, a Highschool girl called "Hiyori", spots
"Yato" running across the road after the cat, and when he was about to get hit by a bus,
"Hiyori" shoves him out of the way, saving him, but to her horror, she didn't come out
totally unscaved. For though she was on the sidewalk with "Yato", she looks back to
see herself, laying on the ground.

Later she tracks down "Yato" to get some answers, and after saving him AGAIN, he
explains that the accident has put her somewhere between "near shore and the far shore".
Basically life and death, her body will on accession pass out, turning her into a "ayakashi".
(Though the only difference in appearance is a pink tail) "Hiyori", at a loss, hire's "Yato"
to help find a way to turn her back to normal.

Will they find a way to turn back to normal, or will she turn into a full time ghost ?

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

Well that's that, it has the same humor like my previous review "The devil is a part timer"
and the hole person being a weapon is like "Soul Eater", so it should be interesting, and
with a 2nd season not long away (this year or early next) it will be a decent length.
Anyway as usual here's the links to the Trailer, dvd and Dub online, if there's something
want to add to this review or an Anime you want me do so others may watch your favorite
then leave a comment, thanks for reading! and as always ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The Devil Is A Part-Timer!"

Hello Anime and Manga Fans!! This weeks review is called "The Devil Is A Part-Timer!"
It's a 13 episode long series made in June 2013, it's Genres are: Action, Comedy,
Fantasy. So with out further-a-due lets begin....

It all starts in the magical realm of  "Ente Isla", in which 5 island reside in the form of a

cross, 4 representing west, north, east and south, with the 5th being in the canter, (I say it

looks like an old compass/link below). Now this world might have 1 sun, but it has two

moon's, one red and the other blue. They are seen by the Humans of this realm as gods.

But in truth, the demon world lies on the red moon, while heaven lies on the blue moon.

(Basically this is an alternate earth, with a hint of Norse mythology "9 realms" mixed in)

One day, the Daemon lord "Satan" (not the one we all know) after settling his own troubles
and agendas on Hell/moon, turns his attention to the realm of "Ente Isla" in an attempt to
unite it as well for his kind (as well ?, read the back story X). The first place he took control
of was the central island city off "Kentourm", and thus the war began.

Now at this time, on the western island, in a village called "Sloan", a young girl called
"Emilia Justina" (later to be known as "Emi Yusa"lived with her father Nord "Justina",
on there family farm. Life was peaceful, though not without a past, at lest for them, for after
"Emilia" was born, her mother left, and "Nord" had never told her why, that is till now. The
day the "Ente Islan Church" representatives arrived, telling "Nord" that "Emilia" was to be
taken into the church to be trained as a hero, due to being half human half,,, Angel!?!?!

At this moment "Nord" revels the nature of her mother, she was an angel who fell in love
with him and vies-versa, but in this world an angel having a human child was forbidden.
But even so they had "Emilia" and to ensure her safety and there's, fled, after being told
this she left with the Monks, only to learn days later that the Daemons invaded her home,
and killed her father.

Years later after the Daemons hordes have conquered the 5 islands, the church strikes
back, with "Emilia" (now a grown women/warrior) leading the charge. One after another
she retakes the lands, and kills the generals that preside over them, "Lucifer",
"Adramelech", "Malacoda", all fall to her blade (except "Alciel" in the east, seeing the
generals fall he flees to "Kentourm"). After taking back the last outer island, she heads to "Kentourm", and to finish Satan. In his castle the two meet, and in an epic fight the young Heroin cuts off one of the Daemon lords horns. Seeing that defect was close, he opens a
portal and escapes, along with "Alciel", vowing to return.

But in there haste they end up in another dimension, which is modern day "Tokyo". To
there horror, they learn that not only that there powers have been striped from them, but
they've also have been turned into humans. They realise that there transformation is a
good thing in there depowered state, and that they should lay low till they recover there
powers, but they need to eat, and a skill such as "world conquest" isn't gona help them.

So "Satan" takes on a part time job at MgRonald's, and ever being a guy with a goal (till
his powers return) makes it his mission to be promoted, and become full-time employed.
( x) But trouble will soon come a calling, and will challenge the Lord on both a physical,
and personal level.

Will Satan regain his powers, or will he lead a new life, and turn enemy's, to friends ?

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

Well that's that, the story is interesting and by all accounts fun to watch, but at this time
there's no news of a 2nd season, even though it only covers 3 of 8 volumes of the novel.
Usual links below, trailer and dub online with a pic of the "Ente Isla" world to,
since like I said above, it looks like compass. Not a double this week but I will catch up
with the mist 2 reviews in time, pinkie promise XD, leave a comment if you want a
particular Anime up here or some info you want to share and as always ENJOY!!!!

"Announcment"

Hello Anime and Manga Fans, as predicted there's no review this week, instead I've
upgraded the blog with tags, so for those who don't want to look through all 40+ Anime's
( xP ) they all now have tags so your searches are a little easier x)

Also so that this weeks not so dry, a wee bit of info I found, "Deadman Wonderland"
did have a 2nd season in mind, but there where 2 things that's put it on hold. 1: it didn't
sell well in Japan, and 2: though it is based of the Manga, it is missing 3 or so characters.

Basically it seems they've skipped a few key moments involving them, and that's why it
wasn't received well, but by all accounts its not dead, though most speculate that it would
have to be remade to involve those missing bits, it's became very popular in America, so
you can be a-shored it wont just fade away.

Well that's that, sorry for no review again though thanks to this update I have a few in
mind, maybe enough so that it'll make up for 2 weeks worth, maybe more, but for now
all new and old viewers should give it a try and see how it go's, you might just find one
you overlooked x)

Thanks for reading leave a comment of any Anime's you would like to see up here for
others to watch and as always, ENJOY!!
