Personal Anime Review #9

Tis the weekend, and this year's Labour Day falls on this Sunday, and so this Monday is "CUTI", hohoiiii~ ;3

Salam, hello and konnichiwa again to all of you kawaii and sparkly kirakira anime lovers out there~ Minna genki? Kyo mo atsui ne, Mereshia-jin tachi~ (Everyone OK? Today's hot also, isn't it? Fellow Malaysians~) (^~^;)ゞ

Yosh, hisashiburi ja no? (Right, been quite a while eh?). It has been a year since my last anime review of 10 anime series/movies packed in 1 entry, so, here are 10 more interesting anime series/movies for you anime admirers of all ages out there to watch and to enjoy during your free time, or whenever you feel like you need some instant inspiration to spice up your mundane life packed with robot-like daily routine of work/studies and household chores.

Oh hey, before you continue reading this entry, allow me to remind you that this entry is specifically made for the eyes and minds of those who appreciate anime and would spend their free time after work chilling while watching some awesome anime on their PCs, laptops or mobile devices in search of inspiration, instead of... say, watching some other shows on TV, or going fishing, or reading novels, or playing games, or blogging about their daily lives, or chilling out at the cinema or some "hipster cafe", or going out bowling with friends, and doing other etc etc common hobbies and free-time activities out there, okies? To each, their own ;3 

Saa-tte-tto (now then), fellow anime fans, if you've already watched any of these before, do tell me how you feel about them in the comment section below, ne~ ^^

Amagi Brilliant Park
Info & download here
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Magic
Creator: Kyoto Animation, Sentai Filmworks
Vintage: 2014
Type/length: 13 episodes
Personal rating: 7.5/10

P.O.V: Have you ever visited a rather disappointing amusement park? How would you feel if you are suddenly given the task to manage a failing amusement park and bring it back to life, filled with happy children and parents having the time of their lives? "Good management" is the key to the success of this incredibly hard task of a devoted park manager. Making sure that everybody is happy is definitely NOT easy, nearing impossible! ;3 

Shokugeki no Souma
Info & download here
Genre: Tournament, School, Shounen
Creator: J.C.Staff, Sentai Filmworks
Vintage: 2015
Type/length: 24 episodes (with OVA and sequel)
Personal rating: 7.5/10

P.O.V: Another interesting and cunning anime with a cooking show theme! Let the never-ending, fierce (and mind-boggling) cooking battles begin! Beware of the rather unnecessary *cough* lewd *cough* scenes though... Overall, I'm amazed with the idea of each dish! They've done their research well! X3
 
Akatsuki no Yona
Info & download here
Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Romance, Fantasy, Shoujo
Creator: Studio Pierrot
Vintage: 2014
Type/length: 24 episodes (with OVA)
Personal rating: 7/10

P.O.V: Honestly this anime has a rather strong Korean aura in it. It's almost like watching a certain Korean historical-fiction-drama series involving mythical creatures (in this case, dragons) fighting alongside humankind to uphold justice. Mixed emotions are involved in this piece, because the 'supposed antagonist' is not all that horrible of a guy. 
 
BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad
Info & download here
Genre: Drama, Music, Comedy, Shounen, Slice of life
Creator: Madhouse
Vintage: 2004
Type/length: 26 episodes
Personal rating: 6.5/10

P.O.V: A rather old piece, old but kewl. American influenced, Japanese trying to be American, you might say. There was a time when American music and pop-rock culture dominated the minds of most young, rebellious J-teens. I sure enjoyed watching them rebellious J-teens speaking "American English" in this anime. Heheheh ;3

Higashi no Eden
Info & download here
Genre: Action, Sci-fi, Drama, Comedy, Romance, Thriller
Creator: Production I.G
Vintage: 2009
Type/length: 11 episodes (with 2 movies)
Personal rating: 8/10

P.O.V: THIS! This is rather mind-boggling, and addictive, and 'techno-ish'. Watching this can be a good way to exercise a human brain, as it makes one think of a few critical real-life issues from different perspectives. You'll be surprised. Watch this and be entertained, and surprised. Do not be fooled by the rather cute and innocent-looking, lovey-dovey main characters on the anime poster. Believe me, this anime is not an 'easy-going/easy to digest' type of anime. Most likely, at some point, you might question your own sense of justice after watching this.

Hataraku Maou-sama
Info & download here
Genre: Comedy, Demons, Fantasy, Romance, Shounen
Creator: Satoshi Wagahara, White Fox Studio
Vintage: 2013
Type/length: 13 episodes
Personal rating: 7.5/10

P.O.V: One word, FUNNY. The majestic "Devil king" and his "Knight" trying to cope with the humble, modern (but mundane) mortal world is a very interesting idea. I didn't know it could be this appealing. The plot, the script, the twists and all are just ROTFL, OMG I seriously laughed at some scenes! Majide (seriously)~ X3
  
Tiger & Bunny
Info here
Genre: Action, Super Power, Sci-fi, Comedy, Mystery
Creator: Sunrise
Vintage: 2011
Type/length: 25 episodes (with 2 movies and prequel)
Personal rating: 7.5/10

P.O.V:  Okay, I admit, what drove me into taking a peek into this anime in the first place was the abundance of T&B related fan-arts popping out among the art communities who are into Japanese anime and manga. I wuz like wuuutt? Tiger & Bunny? Tora to Usagi? What's with all this hype about these two men? And the characters are mostly flashy and sassy-looking and oooh okay they are all super heroes with unique super powers, fighting daily crimes while appearing on a "real-time" TV show, and each of them heroes has their own... sponsors?. Hmmm... alrighty... *grabs popcorn and soft drink* X3

One Punch Man
Info & download here
Genre: Action, Comedy, Parody, Sci-fi, Seinen, Super Power, Supernatural
Creator: Madhouse
Vintage: 2015
Type/length: 12 episodes (with one OVA)
Personal rating: 8.5/10

P.O.V: Phenomenal. Love it. You don't get to see this kind of anime often. I definitely want more of this. And that is all I have to say about this one. ONE PUUUNCH!!! End. *XDDD*


 Folktales from Japan 
Info & download here
Genre: Historical, Kids, Supernatural
Creator: Tomason
Vintage: 2012
Type/length: 211 episodes and still airing, ongoing...
Personal rating: 7/10

P.O.V: The title pretty much sums it all. Folktales from Japan, Nippon no Mukashibanashi. Each episode of this anime series is packed with 3 individual, loose, and different stories. Each story is special, and drawn differently from the other. The narrators, however, are the same in every story. I learned quite a lot of Japanese folktales just by casually watching this whenever I feel like it, and that is so cool. I'm thinking, Malaysian folktales should be compiled and presented in this manner too. Remember that time, sometime ago in the early 90's, when there was that Sang Kancil 2-D animated series showing almost daily on RTM, TV 1? That was precious. 

Itoshi no Muko
Info & download here
Genre: Comedy, Slice of life
Creator: DLE
Vintage: 2015
Type/length: 25 episodes (with OVA and 1 movie)
Personal rating: 7/10

P.O.V: Overwhelming cuteness. I just love watching this kawaii inu (cute dog) with a "junjou otome gokoro" (a pure woman's heart), named Muco. Watching Muco just calms my nerves and lifts my spirits by "shooing away" all of my negative and killing intent. It's practically a therapy. Yes, simple, easy-going/easy to digest, super cute anime interest me too ;3
