Gurren Lagann - Review


Honestly , I watched this anime just because of Yoko , the busty half-naked girl. But this anime is just more than that girl. Whenever I think about this anime , I feel somewhat nostalgic , sad and happy. This anime packs a lot of 'comebacks' and 'Nothing is impossible' type of scenes. Just when i thought about dropping this anime , because it went without any tragic events , I got hit like how 9\11 happened (lol sry). Full action-packed , deep story and characters you get well attached to , this anime is a must-watch if you are a fan of mecha and Sci-fi anime.

Story
The story really has a deep , DEEP meaning if you carefully see. Just when you think it will go the way you predicted , you will be proven wrong. The story goes as 2 boys who have been living underground, goes to the surface with the help of the busty Yoko and Lagann , a mecha (called Gunmen in the anime). The adventure begins there.

Animation
Made by Gainax , who also made Evangalion ( it's a mecha sci-fi too) , it was very well done. The robots, were animated in 2-D but you wont find any flaws in them. Since it released in 2007 , you cant complain much about the animation.

Sound
Wow , just wow. The beats and rap-like BGM is what makes the fight scenes awesome. And not to mention in the second half , the use of orchestra was well done too. The opening and ending was not that special but its ok. ROW ROW , FIGHT THE POWAR!

Characters
Man , such nice characters, will just take you a minute or so to get attached with them. My favourite character other than the MCs was Viral and Yoko. I watched this anime just for Yoko , yeah. I kinda have a thing for redheads ;)

Overall
Such heartwarming anime , I never expected this anime to be this good. I thought this would be like the ones you would just watch and forget the moment you finished watching. Nope. I absolutely loved the characters and throughout, i got soo attached to them. This anime , will stay in my heart forever. Farewell , Gurren Lagann.

March comes in like a lion : Review

Image
March comes in like a lion is pretty good from all the angles. A light-warmed comedy with awesome animation (shafting) , this anime aims for more matured people. This anime , like really , it took for them 2 weeks to produce 11th episode. They might have some problems but yeah , this anime is airing for a long time now. Animation and Sound Before watching this anime , i didn't expect good animations from this , but the animation level has crossed my expectations so high. The mix of 2-D and 3-D animation was so good(Shafting). They did the indoor backgrounds using some 3-D softwares but it looks almost like 2-D so that we can get that anime feel. And some indoor and all the outdoor backgrounds were done by drawing. It was not that good but they managed to pull it off by adding some filters like water reflections and lightings. And all the vehicles were 3-D too (of course). The sound was good but not at its best. The animation style is unique. Story The story goes ar...

Cheating Craft : Review

Image
Cheating Craft *This review is based on the first five episodes , will be updated later hopefully* With a fancy title , cheating craft has attracted a lot of people to watch it.  This anime is all about the gags which is average and not that funny but if you are expecting a serious growing story plot , you may not get it. Basically in each episodes they have exams on different terrains such as in airplanes, oceans , etc. And dont expect this anime to be realistic since its not. Suddenly a terrain appears, writing exams in -200°C , and more. By far from watching the first 5 episodes , i honestly think this is kinda good. Just for the comedy and well.....action , you can watch this. And dont expect realistic cheating ways which you can use in real life.... haha. Each episodes are 12 min each which is a drawback. And they constantly use chibis here and there which i think its ok. And there seems to be a reason why the main protagonist,  Momei  joined the most...

Nyan koi! - Review

Nyan koi! - Review Nyan koi! A comedic romantic? Or haremic anime filled with cats. With a humor suitable for all ages , I would definitely recommend this to everyone, but , unfortunately there won't be a season 2 . Read the last section to know why. Lets talk about the anime first. Non-echii fan services , check. Tsundere moments , check. Comedy, check. Story A boy randomly moves around and kicks a can which accidentally hits a cat statue and breaks it. So the boy gets cursed. The curse is , you will turn into a cat if you don't admire and help cats . Also you can understand what cats say. And if someone else comes to know about this curse , the curse will fasted and the other person will get cursed too. So the main protagonist goes around fulfilling requests given by cats. Heard this kind of story somewhere , yeah me too but i just cant remember. Animation For a 2009 anime , nat bad , yeah , not bad *applause*. Good colors , backgrounds were well done. Well done AIC ...
