Review on Clannad/Clannad After Story

This anime may have its emotional ups and downs but the story was so real that you could understand it and I have yet come across another anime like this.

The Storyline of both of these anime's was really good as I have watched them both twice :) While I was watching, it got me thinking about that this could happen to anyone in real life and what if there was life on another planet that we didn't know about.

The Animation was really clear and I really enjoyed watching the boys getting beaten up and I also enjoyed watching them play baseball weather if they were practising their swings or the real game.

The Sound for this anime was perfect because all the opening and endings suited what was happening in each series. Each voice actor suited their character and done a good job.

The Characters all have something very unique about each of them however with all of them being themselves it only makes the anime more and more realistic. I also like how they all become friends even  though they are all different.

My Overall opinion of this anime is that it was amazing and it shows that anything can come true only if your truly want it to and with pain and sacrifice there will always be happiness. I'm really glad that my friend suggested that I should watch this.

Review of Attack on Titan

The Storyline is very very very unique. It shows friendship at the most roughest of times, anger, love and very strong emotions for different reasons and for both positive and negative reasons. The whole concept of Titans, really do make you think about life and how easy it is right now, and if this were to happen in real life, would we be able to risk our lives for the good of humanity. 

The Animation and Sound was really good. The animation was clear and perfect for the Anime. The sound was also very clear. The Opening and Ending songs were AMAZING and were perfect for the Anime and what was happening at the time. Our favourite is definitely the first Opening. 

The Characters are strong, bold, unique and the majority of them bounce of each others personality as they help each other with their strengths and weaknesses. 

• Eren - He is a very strong character but shows weaknesses at times. He's very strong minded and gives it his all at all occasions. As the Anime progresses, he gains strength in all areas.  <3
• Armin - He is weaker with physical strength but has a very strong mind and also very good with strategy planning which he shows at many occasions when no-one else did. <3
• Mikasa - Her personality is very closed off, which makes us have a lack of connection with her, but she is a kick ass woman who is a great fighter and that is when her personality comes alive. <3
• Levi - Very hot. He is very strong and has the kind of same personality has Mikasa in one way, but different in another. Not knowing his background makes him mysterious as well as sexy. <3
• Dot - He drinks a lot but is very strong willed and is a very good commander. 
• Erwin - He is a great leader as he sees potential in Eren. He is very good at strategy planning and is willing to sacrifice his own and other lives to save humanity.
• Zoe - Has a crazy and mad personality which is very overwhelming at first but learn to love her. She wants to know more about the Titans and will risk her own life to do that.
• Titan's - Scary, Creepy, Strong, Funny and Violent. 

Overall this Anime was amazing and unique. We really enjoyed watching this and it kept us on the edge of our seats for the majority of the series. We can't wait for second series next year.

Thoughts on: Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal (So Far)

Dark Kingdom ARC
I guess the first thing we need to talk about is the fact a childhood Anime has come back after everyone thinking it was gone for good.

The animation has changed dramatically for the better. Everything is so much brighter and colourful which makes it so much better as you can clearly tell who and what they are.
The part where they are changing from a civilian into a Sailor Scout, is very good, and really 3D like. I know a lot of people prefer the old version, but you have to admit and say its pretty cool seeing everything like its real-life.

The voice actors are so much better, although Usagi's is just as squeaky and annoying as always. This does help with the fact that this is how it is meant to be, as shes meant to be childish, clumsy and in a way... annoying.

The storyline has of course, changed a lot, as this is based of the Manga (Which we haven't read). The pace of this is so much faster but so much better than the original as you get to meet all of the characters a lot quicker than before, although they did leave the order you meet them, and fact Venus was a little longer than the others.

The intensity and seriousness in this is so much more, its less appealing to young children and more appealing to older children/young adults. The acting is also so much stronger and it gets emotions through a lot better than the original series.

Overall we really enjoyed this ARC and the all new Sailor Moon. If you loved the original, I can very much say, you will enjoy this series (Especially the end of the last episode of the ARC).

Haul #2: Sword Art Online Swords

This is our first Anime franchise purchase together. 

We are both big fans of Sword Art Online, and when we saw this on Ebay for a good price, we just had to get it. 

The Elucidator (Black) - Kirito's Sword is Tara's 

The Lambent Light (Turquoise/Red) - Asuna's Sword is Demi's

Here are the images :D 

Review of Sword Art Online II

The storyline was interesting as to how they would move to the next VRMMORPG but they manage to pull off a great storyline as the first half is about Kirito and GGO, where as the second half is about Asuna, ALO and trying to clear the boss.
After some discussion we have decided that certain episodes were not needed or were dragged out just to fill the time slot, but the majority of the episodes were really well executed and thought out.
P.S: The debriefing episode was really pointless because we knew the whole storyline as it wasn't that long ago since we watch the first half of the season.

The Animation and Sound were just as good and amazing as the first season as there wasn't much different to the Animation, although the opening titles were definitely much more upbeat and excited which got us in the mood for the episode ahead.

The characters that was returning from season 1:

• Kirito - Strong and baddass just like he was in Season 1, apart from in the first main ARC of the season, you get to see another side of him.
• Asuna - Pretty much the same as Kirito but the other way around, you get too see another side of her in the second main ARC.
• Yui - Cute, Small and brilliant just as normal.
• Leafa, Lisbeth, Silica and Klein are just as amazing as the first season. They help Asuna and Kirito and are always there for them.

The characters that were new to season 2:

1. Sinon - Sinon is a calm, cool and strong character but because of her past situations she's also one of the most fragile-minded characters of the whole series.
2. Kyōji - Kyōji is always there for Sinon in both the real world and virtual world but is easily made jealous.
3. Deathgun - The name speaks for it self. Killing strong opponents in the game and...
4. Yuuki - Yuuki is a very kind and bubbly strong leader but just like Sinon is also fragile in certain ways because of a certain situation.
5. Kyouko (Asuna's Mother) -  She's very narrow minded but does care  a lot for Asuna and her life, as she wants her daughter to get the best in life. She is very reluctant to change but she has a heart.

P.S: Kyōji was annoying as hell when he kept shouting ASADA-SAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall we really liked this season, but certain things stopped it from being perfect in our eyes.
