Japanese Eva 4.00 TV Commercial

Fredie's AnimeTryouts

Just as a note I guess you could call this a series of posts i'll be doing, basically reviewing what I've picked up lately and telling you people whether it's good to watch or not.


Hey it's Fredie here. I love anime and can't go on without at least watching an episode a day, but what about when I've already watched the latest episodes of the series i'm following? I give other anime's chances. This time I picked up an anime on Crunchyroll, that i hadn't cared for just cause, but i'm glad I did. The anime is Arpeggio of Blue Steel

Although it's a new anime; the animation really isn't top notch. It's a bit fucked up if you asked me but it really doesn't make much of a difference. The plots pretty interesting, global warming sinks most of the world and now people have to fight some alien terrorists that have taken over the oceans. Up until now I've enjoyed the anime quiet a bit and i'd recommend it to anyone that's looking for something new to pick up.

The World Only God Knows 250: What the?!!? Dokurou Mind blown


It's her, it's her... Dokurou is her(I think way what a twist)

Kill La Kill Review


Kill la kill is an anime about a bitchy little boy, and a cocky guy with badass sunglasses. The badass guy with glasses constantly teaches the boy how to drill and penetrate filth (dirt). He continually says, “your drill will be the one that will pierce the heavens”. We all know what that means. -wink-


Later they find a red headed cow who loves big black guns. The bitch boy on the show constantly is told by the penetrator badass that he needs to learn to cum together in harmony. -double wink- (that’s a blink)

The penetrator is revived upon being penetrated himself, later dieing a cause of the trauma of him being penetrated for a second time. The bitch boy inherits the badass sunglasses and firestorm cape, attracting the red headed cow for mating season. However, this isn’t an anime for pedofiles and she decides his gun isn’t big or black enough.  #lata said the bitch boy as he penetrated the penetrator of the mr. penetrate his once penetrating master. #disrespect. This spectacle ends as they shot milky way shots at eachother. fin.

QOTW #2 What is the worst Anime you've seen?

Takashi's Answer:

Well, there's alot of animes to choose from and the first few that come to mind for me are K, Devil survivor 2, Campione, Maoyuu Maou Yuusha, and Durarara. I know alot of people love Durarara so i'll start there. 

Why is Durarara on this list? It's cliche shounen, it has great characters that are side characters instead of the main characters. You follow school kids instead of these awesome characters, and it creates very few memorable scenes in my head and I can't remember any of the main characters due to the lack of character development. The story has alot of things that could have very easily been foreshadowed and weren't, and lots of parts of the plot that get picked up and randomly dissapear after being started. It's just a jumbled mess, and the only thing I can remember clearly from it is Izaya throwing things while looking classy... however i'm not going to say Durarara is the worst anime i've ever seen so please hold your horses, and don't hate me.


Maoyuu Maou Yuushais the worst anime i've ever seen. This anime is the worst because it has zero action for an action romance anime. It tells you there is action going on, and I guess they didn't have the budget to actually show the action. how boring. It's similar to spice in wolf without all of the amazing things in Spice and Wolf. It's all about the economic side. The animation isn't terrible, and the Demon King does get a bit of character development, however it's hard to feel attached to her at all. The story just kind of dragged the entire time. It could have used some comedy to keep me watching but decided to take itself too seriously, and act like stuff was happening when it wasn't or just tell you stuff is happening.I loved the female character, and felt the male lead character was generic as can be. The animation was decent but generally  I found this anime to be really bad. hopefully you agree with me if you've seen it. I'm sure the manga was probably great, considering what they had going as far as the story's set up seemed like everything you need to make a good anime, but the anime is dreadfully terrible because they decided not to show what probably made the manga good.

Fredie's Answer:

There are plenty of bad anime out there, the competition was rough but i just had to go with the type of anime that ticks me off the most. Wanna be the strongest in the world is one of those generic retarded anime's that look like they'll be promising in some way but ends up just being a shitty fan service anime. Otaku's get enough of this in your average anime, please don't make more just for this purpose.

Chris' Answer: School Days

O.k. People this was the worst anime I have ever seen mostly because I thought it would be a romantic comedy at first. After the first few episodes I realized it led to drama and lots of it. I really want to spoil it because I'm assuming most people have watched this or heard about it. I hate the main character... he is so indecisive and that leads to his end. The problem was when it was getting bad, I could stop because I just thought it would get better.  I usually give anime the benefit of a doubt, but this just had to disappoint me. I love animes that have good ending. I guess this one did... in a sense, but still not good. So I don't really hate the art style or the acting just the story.

My Top 5 Underrated Animes

Post your own opinions in the comments! I'd love to hear them and find out what animes you think others should know about!


One Outs:

This is one of my most favorite animes of all time. It's basically a psychological masterpiece. If you like death note, this is for you. Be prepared for a slow 5 episode start to set up the story.
____________________________________________________________________
The story begins when Hiromichi Kojima, the star batter of the fictional Lycaons in Japan's Pacific League, heads to the southern Japanese island of Okinawa to train and bring himself out of a slump. There, he meet Tōa Tokuchi, a 134-kmph (83 miles per hour) pitcher and the undisputed king of a gambling form of baseball called "One Out." At Kojima's urging, Tokuchi signs up with the Lycaons under an unusual contract: he gets 5,000,000 yen (about US$46,000) for every out he pitches, but loses 50,000,000 yen (US$460,000) for every point he gives up.

Romeo x Juliet:

This anime's title is very offputting I guess? I mean, you think it's going to be classic Romeo and Juliet, but the first 12 episode of this anime are a masterpiece. This is a good one for anyone who likes the action romance genre.
______________________________________________________
In the floating continent of Neo Verona, the Montague family seized control and murdered every member of the Capulet family with the exception of Capulet's daughter, Juliet Fiammata Asto Capulet. 14 years later, Juliet and the remnants of Capulet's retainers live hidden from the iron fist of the Montague family. Juliet has long forgotten the murder of her family or her identity, and cross dresses as Odin and the town's hero of justice, "Red Whirlwind". A sudden escape in her daily escapades leads her to meet Romeo Candorebanto Montague, the kind son of the tyrannical Montague. Destiny has been set as these two individuals soon to be "star-crossed lovers" are cruelly toyed with by fate in the midst of war. Loosely based on the play by William Shakespeare.

Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad:

This anime is another one of my favorites. It also starts out slow like one outs, and the name is extremely bland and off-putting if you ask me. "Beck." it just sounds so bland for an anime title. However, everyone i've forced to watch this has come out loving it.
________________________________________________________________
Tanaka Yukio, better known by his nickname Koyuki is a 14 year old who feels disconnected from life in general. Through the act of saving a mismatched dog, he meets guitarist Minami Ryuusuke, and becomes involved in Ryuusuke's new band BECK. Koyuki's life starts to change as the band struggles towards fame.

Btoooom!:

This would be the perfect anime if it didn't end so abruptly with a to be continued ending. This anime gripped me right from the start. It has the perfect blend of Ecchi, Gore, Action, and Romance. It always leaves you at a cliffhanger that keeps you watching and keeps you thrilled. Even the opening is an amazing song by Nano. This anime foreshadows amazingly, the animation is great and the only bad thing about it if you ask me is the ending. 
___________________________________________________________________
In the blink of the mind's eye, Ryouta Sakamoto suddenly finds himself transported from playing the hit Btoom! video game to being stranded on a mysterious island, equipped with a day's worth of provisions, a bag of bombs, a strange crystal embedded in his left hand and a huge gaping hole in his memory. But it doesn't take long to figure out what's going on, especially after the first person Ryouta meets tries to kill him. Someone is attempting to recreate the ultra-violent Btoom! game in real life, and the island has been filled with an army of other unwilling players, each armed with one of the multiple variants of explosive weapons called BIM. Fortunately, Ryouta's an ace Btoom! player, but this insane version of the game has no reset switch or second lives, and there's only one way off the island: kill seven other people before they can kill you! Can Ryouta repurpose his game based skills fast enough to survive?

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom:

This anime is just really good. The story gripped me, and kept me. This anime's another action romance that will pull you in and won't let you out until it's over. I loved every minute of it, and I feel alot more people should know it's out there.
___________________________________________________________
Mafia is rife in America where assassinations are a regular occurrence on the streets. Inferno, a mysterious company, is behind most of these dealings through the use of their near-invincible human weapon, "Phantom."

One day, a Japanese tourist accidentally witnesses Phantom’s latest murder. Desperate to escape, the tourist hides in a secluded building. However, Phantom, revealed to be a young woman named Ein, and the leader of Inferno ‘Scythe Master’ captures the tourist and brainwashes him.

Given the name ’Zwei’, this once peaceful tourist is now a puppet of Inferno with no memories. Drawn into a world of lies, deceit, and violence, Zwei must fight to survive, hopefully to one day regain his memories and escape from this world where he is constantly on the brink of death.

What anime has your favorite Animation?


What anime has your favorite animation?

This for me seems like a fun one to answer.

A few animes come to mind for different reasons. 

Guilty Crown seemed to have had a high budget, and extremely polished looking visuals. It's just stunning, I don't think I see any spots in the animation where they cut the budget, the visual effects just look phenominal. It's a bummer about the huge plot holes and such, but that's not what we're looking at.


Samurai Champloo has some of the most well animated fight scenes in any anime. They show all of the swinging and it just is beautiful to watch. The visuals themselves aren't anything special, but the actual anime fight scenes look gorgeous and feel so fluid compared to other animes where they cut the budget there.

Here's what i'm talking about:


And finally i'd like to give a shoutout to Madoka Magica, because alot of the animation just looks stunning in it. You can notice a few budget cuts in the characters faces, but other than that it's beautiful, and the story ends up great so i'm glad they knew where to make the budget cuts.

And without those budget cuts, we'd have no meme on 4chan about it.
