Anime Reviews

For this blog entry here's my four anime reviews.

1. Comic Party: I've recently discovered this series last month and it was quite entertaining to watch. Now me as a starting comic creator this series has really touched a special place in my heart. The main characters are interesting and hilarious to watch from beginning to end and each have a distinct personalities. The whole of the series was all about first-person experience of creating comics and the difficult steps of achieving that goal of creating and selling comics. The I see it for up start comic creators can learn how to capture readers attention and what to expect at a comic convention.

2. Comic Party Revolution: The thirteen episode sequel of Comic Party, the story starts off as the main characters from the first series return as full fledged comic creators. And as just as hilarious as the first series with additional characters.

3. Project Blue Earth SOS: Far by a deeply compelling series with unique story and characters. Taking place in a futuristic version of the late 90s early 2000 where earth is being invaded by foreign lifeforms. It might sound cliche but trust me the revelation at the end of the series is surprising epic. The series itself has only six episodes but that seems to be a unique way of exposition the story in a 45 minute time frame in each episode. It doesn't feel too short and the series gets deeply intense with its action and driven character development.

4. Red Garden: Basically an anime equivalent of Buffy the Vampire Slayer but with deep tense drama that carries the series from beginning to end. The series revolves around four high school girls whom somehow can't recall what happen at the night when they were killed. Until a mysterious woman approach these girls and explained that they're already dead and they're resurrected in special borrowed bodies. The exposition of this transaction is later on through the series putting the girls at a crossroad of harsh understanding and acceptance. After the series ends there's a 45 minute epilogue episode where it's 300 years in the future and the girls from the series are still around as urban legend bounty hunters while having normal lives in school. The acting is a bit melodramatic but it's still worth to watch.
