Past Animes Review: Amagami SS / アマガミ

AND I'M BACK!!!

Yes It's me, MedusaS and I am currently typing through my OWN computer. Yes, fortunately for me, my home did not get hit by the hurricane, and I'm free to talk away! (Of course, there is the internet cafe as well...)

The reason why it took so long was because i forgotten most of the plot! T_T Writing a review about stuff u forget is hard...

So yes! Today I'll be reviewing Amagami SS! / アマガミ The playstation game turn hit ANIME last year! And I have to say, they did an awesome job!

The story begins with a tragic incident that has happened to our protagonist, high schooler Tachibana Junichi! He gets dumped on christmas eve when the girl he likes does not appear at the arranged time!

SO WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT? One of the SIX main heroines (because they saved his broken heart XD ) will encounter him! YES, SIX girls from his high school!

TWO years pass with no luck, and the christmas festival is approaching! It would be the best chance for Junichi to start over again, but would it be possible?

WELL OF COURSE HE WOULD. THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS ANIME.

So with the christmas festival approaching, Junichi's different actions with the six girls will have a different outcome, but in the end,
all goes well!

Now I can't really explain the plot. This is because this anime has 6 ARCs. Yes, you viewers will be going through the same setting 6 times. HAHA.

Tachibana Junichi. The all rounder. Generally, he is your usual kind, funny, neat and nice kind of guy.(Lucky b*stard...) His character might differ with different arcs.

Arc 1: Haruka Morishima
OMG WHY DID THEY START WITH THIS. Well, Haruka is your sexy school idol, whom all the boys want to date, but she rejects all of them swiftly. Junichi is also one of them. But one happens if you confess your love again? This will be certainly interesting. The anime kicks off with this standard arc, but don't get too dreamy. I actually didn't like this arc, because in the end, Junichi becomes err... sorta pathetic.

ED Song: Kimi no Hitomi ni Koishiteru by Shizuka Itō

Arc 2: Kaoru Tanamachi
Yes! Best ARC EVAR! Kaoru Tanamachi is your main character's best friend, of whom consoles Junichi after he got dumped. Kaoru and Junichi often have fights & squabbles, but in the end, they have a strong friendship? Or is it too strong? A STRANGE DEVELOPMENT OCCURS! What happens in the end?

ED Song: Kitto Ashita wa... by Rina Satō

Arc 3: Sae Nakata
Oh its full of MOE in this arc as Sae shows off her shyness! Being in all-girls schools most of her life, she meets Junichi. A classmate and close friend of his sister, Miya. She tries to apply for a new job, but her fears just on't help! Can Junichi help her overcome those fears? Ah just have to indicate, there is ECCHI here.

ED Song: Anata Shika Mienai by Hiromi Konno (Yeah the voice is cute, but for singing, err...)

Arc 4: Ai Nanasaki
Oh! It's the cool & calm Ai! Wholly devoted to the swimming team, she bumps into Junichi in a park. Unfortunately, he instantly got labelled as a "pervert". And of course, what happened the day after. However, things take a turn for the worst. Can Junichi help her overcome her troubles?
Oh yeah, and the ending for this arc is SUPER ECCHI. OMG I nearly got a nose bleed! (Ok. I don't think that's normal for a girl...)

ED Song: Koi wa Mizuiro by Yukana (BEST ED Song.)

Arc 5: Rikoho Sakurai
Yes! It's another close friend, but this time, Rikoho isn't like Kaoru, because she and Junichi are childhood friends! Always worrying about her weight, she tries various slimming methods, and Junichi supports her! But, will there be a romantic resolution? Well, I really didn't like this

ED Song: Koi wa Aserazu by Ryōko Shintani

Arc 6: Tsukasa Ayatsuji
Just like the manga, this is the scariest AND awesome arcs of all. Tsukasa Ayatsuji is an event organizer of the school's christmas event! Wearing a cheerful smile almost everywhere she goes, she seems like the perfect girl. OR IS SHE? Fortunately, or unfortunately, Junichi manages to see her OTHER SIDE. What will the manipulative and cunning Ayatsuji do to Junichi! X_X.

ED Song: Nageki no Tenshi by Kaori Nazuka

Oh yes, and not to mention that there is also a 7th arc! But it was slightly less interesting.

Plot-wise, this anime has done an awesome job, though I'm not really experienced with love-sims. If you are one looking for ROMANCE, COMEDY and a sensible anime, this is the one you need to watch! And there is NO HAREM.

And as you noticed, I have written a LONG REVIEW on this. This is because it is my favourite anime!  Comon, which girl doesn't like fantasy love stories?

Amagami SS premiered in Summer 2010 with 25 episodes. I think the premiere date was July 2 to December 23. It also has 6 OVAs and 1 Special. It was fansubbed by Chihiro, UTW, and Eclipse!
It also has several mangas from different artists, but they feature the
same story.

AND AMAGAMI SS WILL BE HAVING ITS SECOND SEASON SOON! WOOHOO!


And the glorious TWPS will be doing her debut after some short messages!

Staff Exhausted.

Dear readers,

Left: IAmBored                   Right: DarrenW

You might have realized that our review pace was slightly delayed at times and slightly fast at times. The truth is, we are having difficulties in posting the reviews on schedule. Why?

First off, over the last week, FayeA had been on medical leave, because she has contracted a fever and flu. (T_T). Hence she is in bed and editing the work for her is a bit much.

And of course, Tr3xus has been doing his part in her place diligently. :D

Second, MedusaS has taken leave because, as you all might not know, she is American, and she lives in New York. After her review on Thursday, she had to leave her house due to Hurricane Irene.

Thirdly, TWPS has also taken leave, for a vacation? Well, let's leave it at that. When she comes back next week, we will have a new mascot for WWHC!

Of course, let's wish FayeA a speedy recovery, MedusaS & TWPS a safe journey home!

For the time being, it looks like we are understaffed. Though, it probably is nothing you readers should worry about!

Past Animes Review: Kuroshitsuji / 黒執事

I am bored here… (No PUN intended)

As you have noticed (or will notice) I am the type of person who hates to watch ongoing animes (So I will leave it to DarrenW and MedusaS)… It pisses me off when I have to wait for the next episode. I will feel like strangling someone especially if the anime or manga stops at a cliffhanger. Then I get bored (hence my name) and I will do random stuff or sleep. Zzz. I love to watch short animes. It gives me a sense of pride that I can finish one anime in 6 hours :D (My record)

Anyways…  Let’s start with: “Kuroshitsuji” AKA “Black Butler” 黒執事 !

This did not come out as early as Ouran. The first episode was released in October 2008 and there are 24 episodes in total. WARNING! This anime is quite gory and bloody, full of fighting scenes. If this is not your cup of tea, please refrain from watching it…

The story is set in the Victorian era London (with mansions, horse carriages and everything…) Protagonist #1 is Sebastian Michaelis, a butler who serves Protagonist #2 Lord Earl Ciel Phantomhive. Ciel is a 12 year old orphan whose parents are murdered in a fire on his 10^th birthday. He is the head of the Phantomhive family and owns a candy and toy manufacturing company, Funtom Company. He also serves the Queen as her “Guard Dog”. Sebastian is a demon who is bounded by a contract with Ciel. Ciel, in order to avenge his parents’ death, exchanged his soul for the service of Sebastian.

The sign for their bond is a star polygon which is on Sebastian’s hand and in Ciel’s eye. SPOILER: It is mentioned in episode 4 that the closer the mark is to the eye, the stronger the bond will be. However, this also makes the demon easier to track down the human to get his soul. (Actually, IDK if this is considered a spoiler. HAHAHA)

CHARACTERS (the interesting ones, since there is wayyyyy too many)

<-- Ciel. KAWAII!!! XD







--> Sebastian

 <-- Finnian, the gardener for Phantomhive family. The background was supposed to be the garden, but he put too much fertilizers. (O_o)

--> Baldroy, the cook for the Phantomhive family. He loves using explosions and the results of his cooking are 80 percent charcoal and 20 percent broken dishes. (According to the manga)

<-- Mey-Rin, maid of Phantomhive family. She is extremely clumsy and short-sighted.

The 3 servants are more of a hindrance than help for Sebastian. In the anime, they serve as a comical relieve.

--> Tanaka (ojichan in the middle) is the steward of the Phantomhive family. His notable quote: “Ho, ho, ho…”

Side note: For those who do not understand Chinese, the words in the picture means “sense of normalcy”. Please don’t ask me why there are Chinese words in a Japanese anime. IDK.

--> Ciel’s fiancée and cousin, Lady Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford. She loves kawaii things. Not to be biased or anything, but I don’t like her. She broke Ciel’s ring and annoys him… (She annoys me too)

Plot: Err… Haha. It’s actually quite cliché… Victorian era, mansions, servants, maids and a bunch of ridiculous people… sounds familiar? The fresh part is the contract with the demon. Usually you see animes with exorcists trying to exterminate demons. (Hint for next review) It’s rare to see humans working with (a better word in Ciel’s case is “using”) demons.

Kawaii version of them together :D

Theme: Comedy, Tragedy, (oxymoron… I know) Mystery, Supernatural, Bloody. Lessons learnt are: what goes around comes around. There is an action-reaction thing going on. And don’t have contacts with demons!

Atmosphere: The first few episodes are more light-hearted. However, towards the end it just gets darker, more violent, and bloodier. *Evil grin*

Okay, the rating thingy (purely my views):

*[SCORE PENDING]

By the way, Kuroshitsuji 2 was out in July 2010 and completed. There are 12 episodes in total. I will not be doing a review for Kuro2 as I stopped 15 minutes into the 1^st episode. The protagonists changed, and one of them is SUPER GAY (no offence intended)!!! 


Ciel and Sebastian are featured too, but at the very end. So, for a wholesome conclusion to the anime, please watch the two animes. (I have a big mouth otaku friend… So I know the ending without actually watching it :D) BTW, the anime and characters are based on the manga but the storyline is quite different.

There are also 5 OVAs.

DUN HAV PV LINK!! T_T 

ENJOY!!! I like the animation and it’s an awesome English song: D (In my opinion) Song is I’m Alive by Becca.

Ciao.

Past Animes Review: Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Jainan Dakara ne!! / お兄ちゃんのことなんかぜんぜん好きじゃないんだからねっ!!

First of all, FayeA is sick, so the editing was rather slow. (Get well FayeA!)

And in the end, it falls back to me, because none of the other authors would review this kind of stuff.

Yes, it is that Bro-Con/BL-love/Pervert Anime, Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Jainan Dakara ne!! (I Don't Love My Brother At All!) (お兄ちゃんのことなんかぜんぜん好きじゃないんだからねっ!!) And the LONGEST TITLE EVER.

Yes, this is an ALL OUT ECCHI anime, just on the likes of KissXSis & To-Love-Ru.
But of course, I will do an honest review about this anime, just like any other I've done so far.

Now what is the setting for this anime. Yes it's a school setting, as usual, and the main characters are Nao & Shusuke Takanashi, both of whom are attending a nearby high-school. Now you are probably wondering; "ewww! Incest Love!", which is not actually true! They are actually not blood-related, as Nao was adopted. And yes, Nao has a fetish, for his brother... Bro-Con (Other way round)



Things go peacefully as Shusuke's sister spys on his brother, in terms of searching his brother's possessions for ero-material (You know what that is! I don't need to tell you!). This is because Shusuke is, YES, a pervert. Always looking for panty shots & collecting ero-mags. Let me also take this time to explain his club, the "A.G.E.". Now what is that? It is the All-Genre-Ero club, of which the club share their ERO experiences together and also spending time together. Yuck.

Now of course, let me explain the girl's side of things. Nao isn't normal too. She has some lingering affection for her brother, all in all are cute, but weird and creepy. She becomes uncontrollable when she sees something erotic, and sometimes she likes to fantasize.

Holy S***

Who are the other 2 girls? Well, they are Iroha Tsuchiura, Shusuke's childhood friend who just moved back next door. The weird things? Spying on Shusuke. Aparrently SHE also has a lingering affection for Shusuke. This is because of some incident that happened when they were young, which I DON'T want to explain. She likes to use spy equipment and near the end of the season, there will be something shocking that ECCHI people would hate to see!

And of course the other girl is Kondou Mayuka, who is Shusuke's class' representative. She is the study type and things go along well. Until... BL. Yes she is what I would call hardcore BL lover. She loves to read BL comics and get's discovered by Shusuke! And if you watch the swimsuit episode (2nd one i think), it begins to get freaky...

All in all, everyone is not normal, even the parents of Nao & Shusuke.

And for a brief guide:

Plot: Very broken at most areas. Can't even tell where plot line is at certain episodes, but meh, what do you expect from a ECCHI anime? And of course, it is not very original, KissXSis, To-Love-Ru, Mayoi Neko Overrun. All Similar.

Theme: If the theme was ECCHI, HAREM and COMEDY, then yes, i give it full marks. Atmosphere is fine. Thank heaven's the producers managed to use full use of penguins. And impression is fair.

My impression? I'm sorry to whoever produced this anime but I'm just appalled by the lack of value. the lack of seriousness and plot of the anime. I didn't find the jokes funny, nor the fact that there's penguins in each episode. I don't really know why i watched it to be frank, and also why people DO WATCH IT, and personally this is one of the worst ones I've ever watched. Unless you are a pervert, I'm gonna have to go very low on this anime.

Score:

"Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Jainan Dakara ne!!" premiered in Winter 2010, from January 9 to March 27 2011, and contains 12 episodes. It was subbed by Doki & Ayako

Final Impressions: Sengoku Otome - Momoiro Paradox / 戦国乙女～桃色パラドックス

Hi all, back again

And YES, we are revisiting this anime! And with the current presidential elections going on right now! Which Mr Tan will be elected? Now this is the perfect opportunity to highlight that we are not a political website, only anime & manga!

And I have heard from MedusaS that we have 1200 hits the past month. Thank you on behalf of the WWHCurrent Team!

Hm, where was I.. Ah yes, Sengoku Otome - Momoiro Paradox / 戦国乙女～桃色パラドックス!

I don't really remember how i started watching this anime, but this is one of the most unique animes i've ever seen. This anime is the oldest i have ever seen, 16th Century Style (And i thought Gosick would be the furthest I ever saw)

The story starts off in Japan, where Yoshino Hideyoshi (Coincidentally named after the famous feudal lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Japan) is a high school girl in modern Japan. She has her own lifestyle and way of living, like a normal High - School girl at their age. She has a ring of friends whom she is very close to. And a sensei that cares about her.

In the first episode, you can already see the plot developing rapidly. She goes to a temple to pray for
good luck. However, she doesn't have good luck. She has some kind of accident, and crashes into the temple, and gets sucked into a magic portal!

Yoshino Hideyoshi

When she wakes up, its the 16th Century Japan! (Sengoku period) and meets Akerin (One of her friends) and realises its not Akerin but Akechi Mitsuhide (Another historical figure). She also meets Oda Nobunaga (Famous Feudal Lord in Sengoku Period), whom is in a conquest to find the "Crimson Armour" a red colour set of armour, when unified, will let its leader unite the country. Unfortunately the sets are scattered all around Japan. Taking a liking to Hideyoshi (It looks a lot like Yuri...), she seeks her help to retrieve the crimson armour and she agrees. I also forgot to mention, EVERYBODY in the cast are WOMEN. (fyi: all these warlords in the past are all men.)

Oda Nobunaga

The story continues with laughter, and a lot of fun. A historical fantasy that one cannot miss! If you are looking for humour and real-life 16th Century living, watch this Anime!

I also realised that ALL the characters are historical figures, all of whom are very famous in the Sengoku Period of Japan (1467 - 1603) . I mean, is that allowed? Aren't people going to make noise over this?

However, one part i don't like about this anime is the clothes they wear. Aw man... It's those anime that is quite revealing. At first it was okay, but right when i was going to do the review, episode 7 appeared... You can watch it to find out, HAHA!

Some more information, (After watching finish)


Plot-wise, Sengoku Otome has done relatively well, thought I would say its not perfect. The plot development of time travel and the presence of this abnormal world is relatively well defined, and also the whole story of how all this is happening.

Yikes...

Theme-wise, it has been beautifully illustrated. The 16th century style Sengoku-period is vividly shown, (however I am not Japanese so I don't know whether it was shown right.)

Atmosphere wise, this anime has apparently LESS ECCHI scenes despite the appearance of all the characters, thought the flow of the anime is quite shaky at certain periods.

Akechi Mitsuhide

Final impression is not very good, though I HIGHLY commend the final moral of the story, that no one can defeat enemies alone, and if we work together as one, we can achieve anything.

Sengoku Otome - Momoiro Paradox is subbed by Kyouki - Tsuki, and for untold reasons, the other subbers, Akatsuki & nanisubs both dropped subbing the show.

Sengoku Otome - Momoiro Paradox is 13 episodes long, and premiered from April 5 to June 28

Enjoy your day!

THANKY-YOU VIEWERS FOR HELPING OUR WEBSITE GROW!!!
AND WE HAD 150 HITS YESTERDAY, WOW.

Secondly, I would like to say that STEINS;GATE 20 was AWESOME. Never, in my life had a ever seen such an EPIC ANTI-CLIMAX. Those who watch it, you will know! I thought it would just end in a normal way, but OMG that last minute of the episode was AWESOME.

How will Kyouma get out of this situation? WHO WILL DIE?

Stay gripped in your seats!

Summer 2011 Anime OP & ED Rankings Part 2

Yes, it is I, fabulous me as always! XD

And now I'll be doing the OP & ED rankings for the TOP 4!

And for fourth place!

4th Place

Usagi Drop OP

NO SIGNAL

YES! THIS CUTE ANIME'S OP surely deserves to be 4th. Don't the catchy lyrics just want to make you clap along?? Well certainly for me. AND GUESS WHAT. The song is "Sweet Drops" sung by none other than PUFFY. AMIYUMI. Yes, for americans, europeans and viewers all around the world, it is the SAME ARTIST that same the opening for TEEN TITANS. Was quite shocked when I went to check. However, the opening for Usagi Drop didn't score that well for transition, as it stuck at one frame for i believe 30 seconds of the time, but definitely full marks for ART. And there is no video because youtube DOESN'T have any mirrored ones. If you want to go and see it, search for it yourself.

3rd Place

THE iDOLM@STER OP

NO SIGNAL

OMG, CUTE ANIMES ALL THE WAY. Personally, DarrenW likes this the best, because it has cute girls (lolic...). HOWEVER, that's not the point. Why it is 3rd is. Main reasons? Because of the song & the transition. Well perfect, since the anime is about idols anyway. The song is also catchy, but has a very light and warm tone to it, and it is titled "READY!!" which has been sung by all 12 voice actors in this anime, hence I don't know who is the artist. 765 PRO? hahaha.

2nd Place

Mawaru Penguindrum OP

NO SIGNAL

ZZZzzz. This anime doesn't even have its OP on youtube. Anyway, this OP and the 1st place one was the argument me and DarrenW had. Reasons why we liked it? The anime looked so calm and cool! Especially with the penguins and the transition, it really felt impressive, very much like Eden Of The East again. Besides that, the song, though not very nice at the start, it gets better as you listen more times. It's called "Noruniru" and is sung by "Yakushimaru Etsuko and the Metro Orchestra (Wow and this anime is about the subway)

AND 1ST PLACE IS

1st Place

Hanasaku Iroha OP2



YES, DIDN'T EXPECT THAT DID YOU? Why this anime's OP is first? because it has the BEST SONG & ART & TRANSITION. The song "Omokage Warp" by "nano.RIPE" is catchy, has a nice drum roll, and the best electric guitar. I was blown away. And the producers manage to link the actions of the characters with the song really well! Especially the last part.

AND THIS TIME WE HAVE THE SUPER ULTIMATE AWESOME OP/ED VIDEO OF THE SEASON CATEGORY!! IT IS:



HAHAHAHA. Well, it isn't an OP or ED anyway.

Summer 2011 Anime OP & ED Rankings

Yes all readers,
  
It is finally the time we reveal the best Openings & Endings this season. As usual we will be ranking the TOP 7 that has been decided by our panel of judges.
    
As some of you who have been with us since we started, the last time we did this was in May.
    
DISCLAIMER: All Videos are mirrored and all credit goes to the producers of the following material. WE DO NOT OWN THEM.
    

7TH PLACE

    
Ikoku Meiro no Croisée OP





Yes, it is the french-japanese Opening Ikoku Meiro no Croisée! (With the aprostrophe which I always have a problem typing out). The song "Sekai wa Odoru yo, Kimi to." whom I don't know who is the artist or singer. It has a warm fuzzy feeling and depicts france very well, as it has the instrument that the french always play. The song is very calm though, but the main reason is because of the ART. (Yes, we don't grade OP/ED by song alone).
    

6TH PLACE

   
Ikoku Meiro no Croisée ED





And for 6th place, it is the OP from the same anime! Now this was where the "heated argument" was. MedusaS said that this was the DEFINITELY the 6th position, because the ED is so cute!!! So yes, even though Yuna's voice in this ED is high, the song is very touching and heartening. The song is "Koko kara Hajimaru Monogatari" whom I also don't know who the artist is. And the field of flowers & the bed are certainly things that caught my attention.
   

5TH PLACE

    
Mayo Chiki OP


Haha, no idea why this is on 5th place? Its because of the song. Certainly the content of the anime is.. questionable, but "Be Starters!" by Eri Kimatura is definitely a nice song for the OP of this anime. Transition of the OP is also good, though I don't understand the circles. If you are wondering why is the video not here, ask the owners of the anime. I didn't want to put the edited one up because it sounded very bad, then you all will start trolling.
   
MedusaS will do the last 4 positions tomorrow!
    
And yes, I'm supposed to do the next review, please forgive me otakus, I know waiting for your anime stuff is murder for you guys. Tell you what, I'll do 2 reviews tomorrow ok?
   
Hint for that 2nd review: Red hair & Green hair...

Great job TWPS!

FayeA here! Just wanted to tell you all that there will be a short delay in our posts! Apparently there is some disagreement for the rankings for Summer Anime OP/EDs.

Anyway for the time being you all have to wait until tomorrow!
And have you all guessed the next review?
