Anime Highlight! Adachi to Shimamura (2020)

OVA Review! 3 X 3 Eyes (91/92)

 What is up guys! its a new year and I hope it is going well for everyone so far. My new year is going well so far but this post was supposed to be up weeks ago so the blog is off to a great start for the year. You guys will probably get two reviews this month so hopefully that's something you will all look forward to. 

So we are going to start the year off with a bang and bring you guys a review of a series I had always seen the name of but didn't really have much information on until I actually watched it. The series in question for today is non other than 3 x 3 Eyes. This Anime is a prime example of a classic 90's Sci-Fi Anime,  and that means the story is very loose and the action is all over the place.

Our main characters are Yakumo who is just your average student at first and Pi who is a female Demon and because of some events that happen she is trying to help him become human again.

I will say that I do like that Yakumo's friend's get involved in the story and are also trying to help him out any way they can, sometimes in these types of shows, the friends find out your secret, they disown you and then the main character is left to just and rebuild his life but here they sort of because his rescue team which I liked.  

Without hitting on to much of the story, the main goal is to turn Yakumo back into a non immortal human  and during that process they run into enemies that are also trying to obtain the same item that he needs and so we get clashes that probably needed more than 4 episodes to fully feel like they reached their goal. 

Overall I would say give this series a watch if you are in the mood for some 90s anime but otherwise I don't think it sticks out enough that it has to be a must fan. As always thank you all for reading and I will try to get another review up before the end of the month. 

MAHO OUT!

OVA Review! Air Gear Kuro no Hane to Nemuri no Mori - Break on the Sky (2011)

 What is up guys! Its that time again, I am back with another review and the last review of the year. This will be the last post until sometime in January when I return with a new review for you guys. 

    The Anime I'm reviewing today is from a series that I love and really enjoyed watching . The series in question is non other than Air Gear. Now before I start the review I will say that this ova from what I've read takes place chapters after the Anime and is more of a random arc than a huge part of the story. I have not read the manga so ill try to go light on the review.

    First it was glad to dive back into the world of Air Gear because its a series that I really enjoyed and found fun and interesting. This OVA though, was really hard for me to enjoy, not really because I had not read the manga but because the episodes felt so random and kind of thrown together, which made the episodes sort of hard to follow.

    The ova features two fights but episodes 2 and 3 feature the fight against the former members of Sleeping Forest and while the fight is a good one at times I felt lost trying to follow all the characters and all of the action and I found myself starting to tune out some of the action. 

    As someone who hasn't read the Manga, I don't recommend this ova unless you just want some more Air Gear content and not really concerned with the context of why some things are happening. 

    Overall I would have to give it a 7/10 because while it is good, it also leaves a lot to be desired. The ova's are on YouTube so you can watch it there.

Thank you all for reading, and I hope you enjoy this review. The numbers have been really good this year so thank you so much for reading the blog and enjoying. See you guys next month.

MAHO OUT!

ONA Review! Aharen-san wa Hakarenai Mini (2022)

 What is up guys! A new month means that I'm back with a new blog for you guys. Hope everyone has been doing well. In a small update, you may notice that a need rss feed has been put on the blog and that feed is for my Kpop/Jpop themed podcast so feel free to check it out lol.

    The review for this month is from a Anime that just wrapped up last season and one one of my favorites due to the randomness and of course all the Esteem( hope you get that reference). The Anime that is up for review today is Aharen-san wa Hakarenai. 

For those of you not familiar with the service, it revolves around the Reina and Raidou who are classmates and get into the most random situations...and Reina has a stalker lol. The ona series is basically a mini version of the show in Chibi form with them getting into weird situations all under a minute.

The ona series is made up for 18 one minute episodes that were released on Twitter,  and one thing that I really enjoyed about these episodes, even watching the episodes raw, were that they felt like a really good introduction into the series and feels like an easy way to tell someone not familiar with the series exactly what the shows is about. 

While all of the shorts are pretty simple and to the point, my favorites all included their teacher who catches a nosebleed every time she see's Reina and Raidou together because she just cant handle all their esteem and its hilarious, she is easily one of my favorite characters. 

Overall these are just some fun little bonus episodes to help give the fans of the series some extra content and I enjoyed them. If you haven't seen the original series yet, I would recommend these just to give you a taste of what you are in store for.

As always, thanks for reading and ill be back next month with another review for you guys! Until next time stay safe and.....

MAHO OUT!
