Sekaiichi Hatsukoi

Description:
Onodera Ritsu has just transferred from his father's publishing company to Marukawa Shoten. Assigned to the shoujo manga division, he crosses path with the person he'd least expected to meet. Takano Masamune is the editor-in-chief of the division Ritsu's been assigned to, and the two seem get off on the wrong foot right from the very start when Takano unexpectedly kisses him. However, there is more to than what meets the eye: Takano is actually Saga, Ritsu's senpai and high school love, whom Ritsu had thought to have played him for a fool by taking his affections for granted when he confessed and summarily dumped him.
                                                               
This is a spin off of Junjou Romatica. Normally I tend not to like spin offs, but I really liked this one, it didn't really have a spin off feel/vibe to it. It carried it's own story line, with little reference to anything in the original series.

Buso Renkin

Description:
The story begins when high school student is killed one night saving a mysterious girl from a monster, only to wake up in his school dorm, believing it to have been a dream. However, he soon finds out that dream wasn't a dream at all when a giant serpentine monster attacks him and his sister. The girl he saved, explains that the monster is a homunculus. Kazuki had been attacked and killed by it when he was rescuing her. However, she, feeling responsible for him, revived him by placing a Kakugane medallion in his chest, serving as a replacement heart.
                                                                                                            
How in the world do you pronounce it, since it seems to fluctuate. The last few episodes made me slightly mad. Episode 24 ends with an intense conflict that needs to be resolved...episode 25 was just there, I felt like nothing really happened and was a waste of time..episode 26 was way to squished together, and still left too many things open.

Death Note

Description:
 Yagami Light is an ace student with great prospects, who's bored out of his mind. One day he finds the "Death Note": a notebook from the realm of the Death Gods, with the power to kill people in any way he desires. With the Death Note in hand, Light decides to create his perfect world, without crime or criminals. However, when criminals start dropping dead one by one, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer, and a battle of wits, deception and logic ensues...
                                               
It was good. Light has creepy laughter, not sure if that was what they were going for, or if it just happened to work like that. Sad, that "L" died, I thought he would get "Kira" and it would end all happy and stuff like other animes. I felt like they were getting to the ending in a round about way. Matt should have gotten more screen time and "Mello"; not sure if after sometime he went a little crazy, was crazy for the beginning and I didn't notice, or if was that "Near" got to be "L". Oddly enough I can say that I liked the ending, wonderful closure to a great anime with no openings for a terrible spin-off, even though Light flipped and it seemed slightly pathetic.

Marvel Anime: Wolverine

Description:
Logan learns that his girlfriend Mariko Yashida (who disappeared a year ago) has been taken to Tokyo by her father Shingen (who is the head of the Japanese crime syndicate Kuzuryu and a supplier of A.I.M.) in order to be wed to Hideki Kurohagi. Wolverine goes on a quest to rescue Mariko and defeat Shingen and Hideki while encountering some opponents along the way.
                                                                                                                                                
Action packed, was pretty good. Didn't like the ending at all. Sure, I was expecting people to die... but some last words made no sense, or there was no real reason for them to die and it be a big deal. In the Marvel Anime: Iron Man, I liked how Logan randomly showed up, and thought that scene something suggesting it happened, would, well, happen...but the most that happened was "Did you hear about Tony Stark?"...Yeah, not much. Questions: How does Yukio blend in? Her outfit screams " I'm an assassin" or at least something to take note of...How does Yukio carry all of her weapons? At one point she was throwing tons of kunais...And what happened to his jacket? One second he is wearing it, next it's flying...in the end he is putting it on, like nothing happened and it was on him the whole time.

Marvel Anime:Iron Man

Description:
Tony Stark goes to Japan to produce a new arc reactor power station and showcase the Iron Man Dio, a new prototype armor, that will replace him when he retires. However, the Iron Man Dio goes out of control and it is up to Tony as Iron Man to stop it along with an organization called the Zodiac. Iron Man even gains an ally in JSDF operative Captain Nagato Sakurai piloting the Ramon Zero armor that his military group made for him. Iron Man soon discovers that his old friend Ho Yinsen (who Tony thought was dead upon his first time as Iron Man) is alive and is operating the Iron Man Dio armor for the Zodiac's goals.
                                                                                               
Action packed, with drama, and a dash of romance. I liked it overall, would have liked it more if someone didn't watch over my shoulder, when the person has things to do and can watch it on a bigger screen that's not over my shoulder. Didn't like Tony's hair at first, but it grew on me. Doesn't really explain anything, but shows how easily people are used. It was obvious who the bad guy was....

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Description:
An ex-mercenary is forced out of isolation when three mysterious men kidnap and brainwash the city's children afflicted with the Geostigma disease.
                                                         
I was very lost due not playing the video games or watching the other movies. Lovely graphics, and plot if I knew the plot...hopefully. It kind of made me want to get off my lazy butt, buy the game, and look for the other movie/animes.....but laziness won. I doubt the movie/animes will help a lot though, because there are not a total of seven movie/animes....oh well. Cloud's bike breaks many laws of physics, but so does many things about the movie....video games...

I would love to learn more about it, is I guess what it boils down to

Star Driver

Description:
Star Driver takes place on the fictional Southern Cross Isle. One night, a boy named Takuto washes up on shore swimming from the mainland. He later enrolls in Southern Cross High School as a freshman and makes new friends. However, beneath the school is a group of mysterious giants called Cybodies, which can be controlled by humans in an alternate dimension known as Zero Time. Takuto, The "Galactic Pretty Boy", finds himself dragged into opposition with the "Glittering Crux Brigade", a mysterious group that intends to take possession of the island's Cybodies for their own purposes as well as break the seals of the island's four Shrine Maidens, whose powers prevent the Cybodies from functioning outside of Zero Time.
                                                                                                                              
It was okay, watched it here and there at school (yes, I watch anime[and comics too] at school like an evil person that doesn't listen to rules)...Forgot about it when I only had two episodes left (what was I thinking???)...I think I was mad at one of the characters. The end was left too open, and feel as if there were too many questions left unanswered. So I hope they have another season, yet at the same time I don't, because it would be too much and that they took care of everything? Weird that some of the characters have annoying voices yet sing wonderfully....

The Cat Returns

Description:
The story is of a girl named Haru, a quiet, shy and unassuming high school student who has a suppressed ability to talk with cats. One day, she saves a darkly-colored, odd-eyed cat from being hit by a truck on a busy road. The cat is Lune, Prince of the Cat Kingdom. As thanks, the cats give Haru gifts of catnip and mice, and she is offered the Prince's hand in marriage. Her mixed reply is taken as a yes.
                                                           
Interesting movie. One of the few movies I can't really foretell much on. After watching it, Princess and I were trying to figure out the movie title; normally we don't talk about movies too in-depth, since most don't call for any real thinking, and sure we love things to be easy sometimes it's too easy and we want to know our brains are working. The literal translation makes more sense to me, The Cat's Repayment, but this one makes more sense on a higher level of thought.

Magic Knights Rayearth

Description:
Hikaru Shidou, Umi Ryuuzaki, and Fuu Hououji are on a field trip to the Tokyo Tower with their respective schools. The girls are blinded by a flash of light and hear a voice calling for the Legendary Magic Knights to save Cephiro. They fall through the sky into another world, Cephiro. Once there, they meet Master Mage Clef. Clef explains, "[In Cephiro], one's will has the ability to change reality for better or worse. The dark fears in people's hearts become monsters, while a well-intended wish can do miracles. One person, the Pillar, whose will is stronger than anyone else's, is responsible for maintaining through her prayers the well-being of Cephiro."
                                                                
I liked it, slightly confusing. It turns out that everything misunderstood. Clamp likes to use characters over again, I knew that but not to the extent of magical animals people posses…also the characters that posses the same animals seem to be similar too: Kuro-pu and Umi are the only ones that seem to really get mad at Mokona, Fuu and Fai both smart with hidden talents, also Syran and Hikaru are naive and ready to jump in on what they believe no matter what. Curious as to why Mokona couldn't talk, and things like that. Not sure which of the three girls is overall Clamp's favorite: Hikaru the leader, Fuu the person with the love interest and more abilities, or Umi the comedy (all personal opinions) .

xxxHolic

Description:
The series' plot focuses on Kimihiro Watanuki, a high school student plagued by spirits with a strong attraction to him. The spirits are invisible to others and encounters with them are extremely troublesome. When he stumbles into a shop that grants wishes, however, events in his life promise to become more unusual. The shop is owned by Yūko Ichihara, a mysterious witch of many names and esoteric renown. For a price, she offers to grant Watanuki's wish to be rid of the spirits. The price, according to Yūko, must be of equal value and so, as payment, he temporarily becomes Yūko's part-time employee. Watanuki's job consists of small errands dealing with the supernatural and household chores. Himawari Kunogi, Watanuki's love interest, and Shizuka Dōmeki, a classmate who Watanuki detests, occasionally join him in his work as per Yūko's request. The three become increasingly close despite Watanuki's annoyance with Dōmeki. Although Watanuki becomes happy with the new friendships he makes, he becomes concerned about Yūko, promising he will try to grant her wish.
                                                                     
It was really funny, though it had its serious moments and all. Before I watched it I thought that Watanuki was more level-headed than he really was...I mean he is the main source of the comedy in one form or another. Watanuki is a smart kid, but he makes some stupid mistakes by forgetting important lessons from another previous episode. I liked that they put the filler episode at the end of it, instead of in the middle where it can confuse a person.

Black Butler

Description:
Just a stone's throw away from London lies the manor house of the illustrious Phantomhive earldom and its young master, Ciel Phantomhive. On the night of Ciel Phantomhive's tenth birthday, a fire engulfed his manor. The boy was missing for a month before returning with a mysterious black clad butler, Sebastian. The servant is actually a demon that had entered into a contract with Ciel, promising the boy to help him achieve revenge on the arsonists in exchange for his soul. Sebastian Michealis, an exceptionally loyal butler, is ever at Ciel's side, ready to carry out his young master's wishes. As the Queen's guard dog and standing at the top of the British underworld, the young boy must face many difficulties along the way. Black Butler is set in the Victorian era, and carries with it the typical eloquence of its time.
                                                 
Loved the art, personally I think it has a confusing plot. Season one seemed like the absolute end to the series, because all of his enemies are taken care of for the most part, and implied that he dies. When I found out about season two I was wondering if Sebastian had a new master and that it would end up with a lot of spin-offs. The second season was pretty good, though it doesn't explain what happened between the seasons. Under laying hints of shonen-ai.
