Anime ONA Review! Balgwanghaneun Hyeondaesa (2014)

 What is up guys! Its that time of the month again, we are back with another review for you all. I hope everyone has been doing well. I hope you all have been enjoying some of the current anime and also clearing out some of that Anime backlog that we all have.

The Anime that is up for review this week is one that I had to hunt down because it was not easy to find, and honestly i was better off not finding it. You can read the title up above but for the rest of this post ill be using the English name, so the Anime that is up for review is Shining Modern History.

This Anime is about a guy named Hyeon and a Woman named Min-joo who cant seem to fight off their attraction to each other. One thing I did not expect from this Anime when I first started watching was for it to have so much skin to skin contact between the characters, the Anime is labeled as a drama/slice of life but this is nothing but  a Hentai with elements of Slice of Life.

If I'm being honest, even though I was watching the Anime Raw, the story just seemed to lack any passion, at least in the story department and the series just started to drag 15 to 20 mins into it. One of the main story points is that Min is actually married so she is actually having an affair with Hyeon.

This ONA is 3 episodes long and I actually didn't finish the series because at some point the skin to skin contact just got a bit much for me. Overall from what I did watch, I would give the Anime a 5/10, its not a great series by any stretch but its good to see a Hentai that revolves around people just trying to get through life.

Well I hope you all enjoy this review. Hopefully ill be back next month with a better Anime to review but until then, stay safe and keep enjoying Anime.


MAHO OUT!

Anime Special Review! Gosho Aoyama's Collection of Short Stories (1999)

 What is up everyone! Its the last day of the month so this Blog made it in just in time. I hope you all are doing well and staying safe.

One thing I love about doing these reviews is that it has opened me up to discover Animes that I never would have watched otherwise. When it comes to Detective Conan, I consider myself to be a casual fan, I really enjoy the series but I tend to jump in and out of it and usually just match the movies on a regular basis.

The review this week is a Anime based on the short stories from the creator of Case Closed. The Anime up for review is Gosho Aoyama's Collection of Short Stories.

I will start by saying, these  short stories all provide something different a creative in their own way, and if you enjoy Detective Conan you will really enjoy these stories. 

I wont go into much detail for the shorts because you need to experience them for yourself but my favorite one was the detective George short which involves a detective that's miniature. I love this short because not only is it just really good but the fact that there is no explanation as to why he is small and everyone arounds just accepts that he is. 

Another favorite was the Santa Claus in Summer short which is about a teen getting drunk and drunk dialing someone and accidently activating a government earth destruction device. The last short is a backstage look at the making of Detective Conan and shows the voice actors recording and its a really cool look at the process. 

Overall, this is a really solid collection of shorts and you can really see the storytelling style that Gosho likes to use and its honestly great. I found myself being hooked on each short, even the one's that were really short because they each had a solid story that just drew you in and made you enjoy them. 

I would highly recommend checking these out if you can find them. If you do a little searching there are pretty easy to track down. Once again, thank you all for reading and I will be back next month with another review for you all. Until next time..

OVA Review! Air In Summer (2005)

 Hello everyone! The first blog of the new year is finally here. I hope you all are having a great new year so far. Since we are diving head first back into the reviews, I figured I would start off with one that is pretty simple to enjoy.

The anime that is up for review this month is Air In Summer. Air in summer is an OVA of the Anime air that from what I like to call the Clannad Universe. I watched Air a few years ago and much like Clannad it was great and had a great story so I was pretty excited to watch this OVA. 

The OVA features our three characters: Kanna, Ryuuya and Uraha and we go on this journey of them going on the run due to Kanna not wanting to change Shrines. Its a bit of a simple story but it is well put together. 

Even though the characters are on the run, the OVA does add in some elements of comedy and some really good character moments. If you have seen Clannad or Air then you know exactly what to expect from this Anime and the tone of the Anime is exactly the same as those. I will say the OVA isn't amazing or anything but it was a easy watch so it didn't feel like it dragged on. 

If you are a fan of these styles of anime's especially Clannad and Air then you will enjoy this ova and its only 2 episodes so you will be able to breeze through it rather quickly.

Once Again, thank you all for reading, I know these reviews are not the most in depth but I hope you enjoy them. I will be back next month with another review for you all so until then, stay safe and...

Anime Movie Review! Backflip!! Movie (2022)

 What is up everyone! Another month means we are back with a another review for you guys. I hope everyone is doing well and hope you all have had a great holiday. I'm not sure if this will be the last Blog for the year or not but I did signup for the myanimelist secret Santa this year so there may be a post coming from that.


The Anime up for review today is one that I watched a few season back and didn't realize it had a movie until now. The Anime for review is Backflip the Movie, for those that don't know Backflip is a Anime about a high school men's Rhythm Gymnastics team and its a decent enough anime so I knew the movie would be at least decent.

The movie starts off with them preparing for the Inter-High tournament and as exciting as that sounds this is where the movie takes its first dip. We see the team arrive for the competition but them it just transitions away from it and a few scenes later we find out that they lost. It was strange that they decided not to show the competition and from there the movie sort of just stumbles along. 

From here, we see the senior members prepare to graduate and do one last routine. The movie honestly just sort of treads along and you can sort of just tune it out for most of the second half and not miss anything. If you are a fan of the show then the movie is a decent companion piece but don't expect anything new or really much expansion of the story.

I hope you enjoyed this review and if this is the last blog for the year, Have a great new year!
