Past anime 02 Strain: Strategic Armored Infantry

First off surprisingly this is a mech anime with a girl main character that is a serious. I know right its crazy!!! Which when I started watching it I didnt know if i would like that. Although at the time I didnt have much else to do so i gave it a chance and which i started to enjoy it. The only main problem i had with the main character is she had the japanese female problem of being obsessed with her older brother. You hear oni chan more times then you wish to hear in your life watching this anime because another chick in the anime is also crazy about her older brother. I know right its great!!...not really ANYWAYS besides that and a slight weirdness with a doll its a pretty solid 13 anime series.

Wee time for my favorite part explaining what its about....not really >.>. SOOO...(goes to Wikipedia to look up how to spell and remember names) Ralph Werec, Sara Werec's(main character) older brother leaves her to join the military and she gets all emo and cries and then when shes old enough joins the military to be a strain pilot. Which they use a werid system of control and movement system for mechs. its kinda similar to zone of the enders mechs in the fact they dont actually walk but more as float constantly and extremely nimble/fast. At her training base she is one of their best trainees which strain piloting runs in her family and has a good group of friends but then her base is attacked by the enemy and they find out that Ralph Werec changed sides and is the one attacking.(happens all in the first episode so im not spoiling anything) So Sara goes crazy and tries to find out why he did it and wants to stop him.

Overall it was a pretty good anime nothing really amazing but it is only 13 episodes and their isnt anything really wrong with it so no real reason not to watch it if your a mech anime fan but its low amount of romance and few comedy parts makes it harder for non mech fans to watch.

past anime 01 jyu-oh-sei

WEEE time for my frist anime that I have to think back to xD. Ok Jyu is an amazing anime, it is actually up there with my favorite last exile. I happen to just randomly find it thankfully xD.

What its about is humanity strechs to another solar system and teraformed the planets there to allow humans to live there and also live in space stations. In one of these stations lives Thor and his twin brother

Rai. As they make their way home from playing around they find their parents killed and then they are knocked out and find themselves being sent to a mysterious jungle prison planet. They find out the only way to get off the planet is to because the beast king which is basically the strongest person on the planet. So Thor wants to become it to find out what happened with his parents.

This anime reminded me alot of star ocean 2 while watching it. The first episode is a little slow though but after that it really picks up fast. Before i knew i was finished with it, although it was only 11 episodes, they were really well done 11 episodes. I think they could have don more episodes and it would have been just as good if not better but as it is its amazing on its own. What really makes this anime is how amazing of a character thor is and how he grows to be an amazing fighter and leader. To top it all off I think the makers did a really good ending all though some people might disagree with me but as it goes for quality of the ending I think it was really good and on top it being not at all what I thought it would be.

Currently watching/Trying to watch 01!!!

SOOOOOO after watching Eden of the east and chrome shell regios extremely fast i've had to find new animes which was hard I was trying to watch Linebarrel of Iron and Blade the Immortal. Both of which arent bad but Linebarrel has alot of embarrassing comedy which is funny but makes it hard to watch at times for me. Besides that in terms of mecha anime hes alright kinda similar to Aquarion in terms of combat. although ive only watched up to episode 8 i think so can't judge too much. For blade the immortal reminds me of Shigurui: Death Frenzy with the whole feudal japan and with the dojos.

The fighting in it look really well done. I just atm cant get into it that much but all in all its seemed pretty good.

Good news though because while browsing for a better anime I found otaku, no video on youtube. what is that you ask? it these two guys that do videos on youtube/podcast doing reviews of anime and tells you what they think of them giving you a clear indication of if their good or not and why. Heres a link to it http://www.youtube.com/user/ONVPodcast. So with the help of their reviews I found Guin Saga and 07 ghost which are the 2 im watching atm. Both of which ive enjoyed alot more then linebarrel and immortal. guin is kinda like record of the lodass wars a bit and 07 ghost is kinda hard to put my finger on. Its about a kid that lost his memory and was a slave but then joined the military and trying to graduate the magicish military section. He also has a best friend he made and their relationship borderlines on brotherly love to yaoi SOO you yaoi fans might enjoy that xD. ANYWAYS thats all i have for now ill keep updating and adding animes i finished in the past.

Chrome Shelled Regios

This anime I enjoyed a lot infact i enjoyed it so much i finished all 24 episodes in a day. Yeah I know being unemployed leaves you with alot of free time. ANYWAYS to start off ill say I be kind of bised since this is the type of anime I enjoy a lot just with out mechs but oh well. Ok so its one of the world isnt hostible by humans anymore and people live in dome cities that move and monsters are out to kill people. That aside the city that the anime is in is a acdmany city and the city is run by the students there. Although the acdmany isn't just for reading and math its also for the military artes. Which the military artes is what humans use to defend themselfs from the monsters. So for the military artes students they find them selfs in platoons and these platoons work together and have matchs against another platoons like capture the flag.

SO the reasons I like this anime is because it has high action but in between the action their is alot of romantic comedy and a lot of good character building. Another cool thing is the main character starts off being really good instead of being a pansy with hidden deep powers. The weapons are also really cool I like the fact that each characters has their own style expressed in the weapons.

Overall its very well made anime the only problems I have with it is the end is kinda rushed and they didn't finish up enough of the plot I think. Now if the make another season I will be very happy and look for to it. So if your an action anime fan go ahead and watch if not you still might find it enjoyable with the comedy and story.

Eden of the East

Well the first thing I would like to say about this is it was AMAZINGLY GOOD. The plot was really well done the flow is great, the pace fast and characters well done. Its also an anime that I think alot of people could enjoy. It isn't slanted into any one way that much. So people that dont really really like action anime might enjoy this. While maybe people that like only seeing stuff blow up might not like its low action BUT its high speed pace might keep them interested long enough for the end since its only 11 episodes.

Some problems though is it being realistic some stuff just goes of non Japanese peoples head. As they talk about NEETs a lot which I didn't know what it was for a long time just guessing it was a part of the series and they would explain it but its a Japanese term for not employed, education or training, some fansubs might explain it but the one I was using didn't.

Anyways its high speed pace and with its constant mystery of whats really going on since the main character erased his own memory. Really pushs you to keep watching to try and find out why he did it and if he really is a bad guy or not.

Bleach (on going up to 226 will write more about later)

Well it was a long road to get all the way up in bleach but i did it!!! My thoughts on it are, that the filler episodes really bring down the series but besides that I found it entertaining but not anywhere close to my favorite anime. The combat at times is very good but predictable. All in all if you have alot of free time on your hands *cough* like me and you like action animes then its good to get into. Theirs alot of room for it to keep growing and alot of unanswered parts in it so it will keep being good it seems.

I like the characters a lot problemly one of the main reasons I kept watching it. Ichigo is a well done main character I think all though the whole protect everyone is kinda generic I think his character does really well with it. Uryu Ishida is another character I liked a lot just because its the kind of character I like and hes the only main character thats ranged so it makes him unique.
