OVA Review! .hack//Quantum (2011)

 What is up everyone! Hope you are all doing well, I was hoping to get this review up weeks ago but I may or may not have just been being lazy lol. Hope everyone is staying safe and enjoying the current Anime Spring season. 

I am back with a new ova review for you guys and this ova was another disappoint from a franchise that I really want to love but they are not making it easy. The series in question is .Hack and the series ill be reviewing today is .Hack//Quantum.

The series revolves around the friends who all play the game together until one day, one of the friends just disappears. The other friends them begin this search of not only finding out what happened to the friend but also solving some other weird things that are happening. If any of this sounds familiar, that's because its basically every virtual reality Anime you have every seem. 

Later around episode 2, we find out about another character and how they play a role in everything that is happening. Without spoiling to much, the character is someone the girls do not suspect due to their friendliness but their backstory clears that up in no so great detail. This series much like another .Hack series I watched refuses to actually take time to expand on the story and instead they just try to pile as much stuff into one or two scenes as they can and it just makes everything feel cramped and hard to follow.

    In episode 3, we finally get to see what really happened and why a character did what they do and why but to be honest I was just glad to see it all be wrapped up and done with. .Hack seems to be a franchise that is just for those who love the games because they are written as if they expect you to be fully aware of the story before watching and to me that just isolates those who have not played it. 

The anime wasn't terrible just not great, so for that I will give it a 5/10 but unless you are really into .Hack I would say you can skip this OVA.

Thank you all for reading, and I will be back next month with another semi decent blog for you guys lol. If you have seen this show then leave a comment. Until next Month....

    MAHOU OUT!

Movie Review! Barefoot Gen (1983)

 What is up guys! I hope everyone is doing well. I know I'm a little late but I'm getting in the post for February just in time before its over lol. I hope everyone has been staying safe and hopefully your month has been good so far and for all my Twice fans, if you were lucky enough to see them live....were not friends anymore because I didn't lol . 

Alright the review for today is one that wasn't planned because I was going to be reviewing Aika but I got behind while watching other things so I decided to save it for next month and do a movie instead....and now I'm glad that I did.  The review is a movie that I wasn't even aware of and that is Barefoot Gen.

This Movie takes place in 1945 which as I'm sure most of you know is during the time of the war Between The US and Japan and it highlights how people were living during that time and how that had to adapt after the bombings. I'm sure by now you will be thinking "is this Grave of the Fireflies/" and yes the plots are very similar but Barefoot certainly can stand on its own and is equally as great in my opinion.

Our main character is Gen who loves to spend time with his younger brother and loves his family and even though his family is basically living day to day or as we say today check to check, he is very positive and can see the gold at the end of the rainbow. 

Eventually tragedy does hit and even though I knew the bombs were coming the build up really had me choked up and just seeing the people in terror really hit home just how devastating it was and also shows just how fast your life can be turned completely upside down.

Once the rebuilding of life begins we see that nothing will be the same and we also get introduced to a new character that helps to being a little light to Gen and also brings back a little bit of his past. Ill leave the review here so that I wont spoil anything but if you cannot tell this move is a must watch for any Anime fan and while it can be a hard watch because of the subject its also a very beautiful movie. The movie can be found on YouTube so its easy to access.

Well thank you all for readying and I hope you enjoyed this piece. Ill be back in march with something much lighter as I review Aika. Until then Stay safe and see you guys soon.

MAHO OUT!

A3! Autumn and Winter Review

OVA Review! Ai wa KAT-TUN (2012)

 What is up guys! Its time for the monthly blog post, so I hope everyone is ready. First I hope everyone had a great holiday and also a great new year, both of mine were pretty chill and all I did pretty much is relax.

This week I'm bringing you a review of a Anime that is basically a advertisement for the Jpop group KAT-KUN. While the Anime is a advertisement, it s enjoyable for what it is because its basically just short fun segments. 

If you have seen Anime's such as Fruits Basket or any Anime with the theme of "Handsome Guys doing handsome guy stuff" then you will know and enjoy what you will get from this show because that is exactly what this is just to a lesser degree. First the episodes are only 53 seconds long so if you are looking for depth, this is not where you find it but the episodes being short helps the comedy easier to digest. 

Each episode basically follows the same plot we have our main female character interact with one male character then some comedy happens and its over, its really short, simple and if you blink you will miss what happens. I would only recommend this Anime only if you enjoy seeing handsome guys doing the most random of things.

I will say, I watched this Anime on YouTube because its not that easy to find and I also watched it with no subs but you really don't need to understand what they are saying because the interactions tell the story well. 

I would give this anime a 6/10, for what it does its a ok show and its quick enough that it doesn't waste much time. Thank you all for reading and leave me a comment if you decide to watch this Anime. Well until next month...

MAHO OUT!
