Anime Review - School Days

Image
                                                  ''If I am able to reach beyond sorrow; I will not need to feel anything beyond this anymore.'' Hello everyone! I'm super excited to talk to you about this anime! I saw it three years ago, I think, and when I ended up all the episodes, I just couldn't close my mouth. I think I had the most stupid face because I was so surprised with it.  Some say that this anime is slow, is not cool, but honestly, I really loved it. I watched it twice because I really enjoy this type of stories and the end of it... Just watch it and you'll see. This anime has 12 episodes and it's from 2007. How can I define this series? Well, it starts with a normal love story and then gets deeper and darker. Amazing and worth it. So, let's begin! Plot: Makoto Ito rides the train to his school every day. However, at t...

Anime Review - Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl)

Image
    ''Perhaps it is time to die.'' Hello everyone! So, I watched this anime a year ago (I'm not sure) and I thought about it as an interesting story, but had a disappointing ending and I was really sad. It's a cool anime, but it could be a LOT better... But still, I wanted to talk about it. So, let's start! This anime is from 2005 and has 26 episodes. It was followed by a second season called '' Hell Girl – The Two Prisoners'' and I advice you to watch it if you liked the first season. This second season has also 26 episodes and It was released in 2006. Plot: There's a website called ''Hotline to Hell'', that only appears at midnight and If you enter someone's name on it, the Hell Girl will carry that person to hell. However, the one's that ask her to kill that certain person, will also to hell, but only when they die. A freelance journalist called Shibata Hajime begins to in...

Anime Review - Ga-Rei Zero

Image
                                     "Will you kill someone you love because of love?" Hello everyone! So, today, I'm going to make a review on a very special anime for me. And why is that? Well, this is a story about ''love'', but a different type of love. The love you feel for someone you consider as a sister or even a brother. I personally can't live without my sister because she's a great girl, we are very similar and as we live far away from each other (she's in France and I'm in Portugal) every time I have the chance to be with her, it's a blast. So, let's do this! How do I define this anime?  It has action, romance, comedy, drama, supernatural situations, emotional scenes... And yes, you'll cry and I really advice you to give it a try and watch this anime. Plot: In Japan, the Ministry of Defense has an anti-paranormal special force group: '' ...

My German experience!

Image
Hello everybody! I decided to share with you one of my trips because one of the things that I love to do is to travel. It's a really big passion for me. I hope you enjoy this and If you like this post, I will publish more about the places I've visited. When I was 18, my mom took me (and my family) to Germany. My mom, my sister, my brother and my step-dad and his youngest son, live in France and every time I have the chance to go there, I do it. So, that day I've pack everything I needed to survive for 15 hours (maybe, I'm not sure): Water My precious cellphone Some food (yes, I couldn't simply leave without it xD)  My faithful MP4 player (I love music) A book (we had a 3 hour ride, I need to be entertained and I love to read) My camera My documents and some money Perfect, it's all done. Now let's go to Rust!! When I got there, I was blown away. I was about to have one hell of a day (in a good way)! I had so muuuuuuuch fun!! An...

Anime Review - Mirai Nikki

Image
                             ''Everything in this world is just a game and we are merely the pawns.'' Hello everyone! I decided to talk about this anime because when I saw it (three years ago, I think) I was super excited about it. If you like twists, surprises and some crazy bipolar girlfriend (she's called Yuno Gasai)... You'll see the right anime. So, go ahead, watch it!! Let's start, shall we? Plot explanation: Yukiteru "Yuki" Amano is a guy who spends most of his time writing a diary on his cell phone or talking with his imaginary friends: Deus Ex Machina, (God of Time and Space) and Murmur (Deus's helper). So, basically, Deus gives Yuki a special diary and says something about a game.  The new diary has entries that say what is going to happen in the next 90 days. Deus (that actually exists), forces Yuki to participate in a crazy survival battle with eleven other people, each of...

Why should we watch anime?

Image
Hello everyone! I decided to talk to you about some of the reasons that make me want to continue my journey as an OTAKU. So, here they are!! 1º It's accessible to every age When I started to watch it, I was probably 4 years old or something like that. I simply loved the way the animations were made and the stories were different from everything I was used to watch in Portugal. 2º It's intense I love to watch a lot of American and Portuguese shows, but Japan has a different way of making us want even more than the usual shows we have on tv. It's an emotional journey.   3º You became attached to the characters They're not real characters, but you can feel attached to them by the way the amazing voice actors work. They put a lot of emotion on it and you actually start living for 26 minutes (for each episode, but it can be longer) the character you love the most and you start to have an emotional storm inside you.          ...

''No matter how many relationships we seem to have, in reality we're all alone.'' Hello everyone! I saw this anime two years ago and I was really impressed with it, so, I want to share my thoughts on it. It's worth it, I think it's a really cool story! I hope you enjoy :) Plot explanation:  In 1972, a very popular student named M isaki  died during the school year in  Yomyiama North Middle School 's  class 3-3 .
