Tsumiki Miniwa is a short girl who is in love with her best friend Io Otonashi. But she can't build up the courage to tell him so instead of telling him when she gets frustrated she tends to lash out in a very cute way. Though Io seems to be clueless all their friends know she likes him.

Io on the other hand, has no idea that she likes him but otherwise can tell just about anything else that she wants like when she wants head pats or a snack.
The show follows them as they go about their everyday lives as she tries to tell him that she likes him. All the while their friends are trying to help them out and also being total goofballs.

~Review~

10 / 10

This Movie is a very sweet and warm movie even though it has some more serious themes in it.

This movie is a journey of growth and hope when times are hard.
I would definitely recommend this as a movie for the whole family. Howl's Moving Castle is a lively and colorful move that will keep your attention till the very end.

I hope you Dance - Anime

10 / 10 

The anime cherectures have alot of growth to them. More so in my opionin then many anime but then this is a romance anime. This anime will have you feeling though near the end. Over all this is a very sweet yet short anime and definitly woh the watch. Because no one charecter is perfect not even the popular Yamato, he has his own flaws too which is rare in anime that everyone is so humanized it made me feel closer to the charectures.  

I would Deffenetly Recomend this to people who like Romace animes.

So Hara moved her and her children into a small village in the country where her children could run free. She works hard on her own learning how to take care of herself and her kids in the country.

Review!

10/10

This is a very touching movie about family and getting through the tough times with a smile on your face.  Her daughter is the one telling the story making it seem more like a story of the past. Telling how her mother Hana watched her and Ame, grow up.

I would definitely recommend this anime it is simple and sweet with a very powerful message.  But there is many feels near the end of this anime.

 

I'm in Love with an angel

P.N.X AMVs

P.N.X AMVs put this AMV together perfectly. The flow of the song flows with how they edited the anime to fit the music.

The Song: Angel ~ Theory of a Deadman 

The Anime: Snow White with the Red Hair

This Amv is a very sweet one, it fits well with the theme of the anime. This anime is actually why I started watching this anime. And I was not disappointed. The song fits perfectly with the main characters od this anime.

This anime does contain spoilers but not those HUGE spoilers that would ruin the anime.

This anime is a very sweet anime and so is the song I would defiantly recommend checking out what other AMV's P.N.X AMVs has.

Story

Yuki Takeya loves school so much that she decides that she never wanted to leave. 

Megurigaoka Private High School is a one of a kind and lively school that makes it so that Yuki and her fellow students can live as normally as one can while living in school. 

The school Living club has 4 members: 

Yuuri Wakasa The club President 

Kurumi Ebisuzawa 

Yuki Takeya 

Miki Naoki the newest member

Together they take care of each other and their pet dog Taroumaru. Yuki goes to classes while the other girls gather food from the garden on the ruff of the school. Look after the dog and take make sure that there is food ready for every meal.

This anime takes place through the eyes of Yuki an energetic and spirited young girl. Each of the girls has their own role to play in the group. But working together they keep each other safe and happy as best they can.

Heads Up! 

I will not be explaining much more on the story of this anime!

The reason for this is this anime is NOT some normal Slice of life cute anime, But to get the best experience out of this anime it is better to be surprised. Everything I am saying will  all make sense to you at the end of episode 1 so it's not like you have to watch half the anime, to know what the shocker is! 

Wrapping things Up 

10/10

This is a really good anime, though there are many surprises and unexpected things that happen in only 12 episodes they manage you make it so that the viewer doesn't get lost or feel like there is an explanation missing. Not many anime can make me feel like that. 

Though I will warn you there will be a time when the feelings in this anime near the end where they get very strong, if you get to the last 4 episodes and feel like you need to walk away don't!! 

This anime will probably make you cry though in the end.

Wrapping things up 

7/10

This movie can be very interesting and touching, at times. Though the art style is not something most people are used to. But putting that aside this is a pretty decent movie. Things flow interesting and it can really get to you if you like this kind of anime. Hells can be a very good movie though it's not a very "scary"movie like it looks like but it is really funny a times so I would still recommend you to watch it because it is an interesting but long watch.

Soul Eater ~ This is Halloween

Paulo PT20

Paulo PT20's video is a great example of how an anime and song can go hand in hand. 

The song: This is Halloween by Marilyn Manson

The Anime: Soul Eater

The theme in this AMV is really well done sticking with more chilling aspects of the anime. Though this particular anime isn't always "scary". it has a rather Halloween theme to it though.

Warning this AMV may contain spoilers!

This anime is more of a comedy action type anime it is not really as scary as this AMV portrays it but that is part of the fun to this AMV taking one thing and making it fit perfectly, to the song.

Wrapping things up 

10/10 

 This is not one of your normal anime that you can tell if you will like it by looking at it. I have watched so many anime but in this one, there are things that I didn't see coming. It can get pretty deep at times while at other times. At first, this anime seems like each episode is its own story but as the show goes on it spins a larger story. 

I would recommend this for people who have been watching anime for a while and like to have to think about what is actually going on. This anime does tug on your feelings at times it tugged on mine. 

I recommend that you give this anime at least 3 episodes before you walk away, honestly give this anime a chance it may just surprise you.

Wrapping things up

8/10

 

This anime is not something I think many people will like. Aside from the fact that it is a 90's anime there are other reasons why I believe this. 

Darkside Blues is an anime that most of the time seems to make no sense  to most people when in reality there is a message in the movie in my opinion but I am not going to share what I think that message is here I will let you the viewers decide for yourself what the message is or isn't.

I do recommend watching this movie if you like to think about a deeper meaning to things. But keep in mind this is a Darker themed movie!!!

 

Fairy Tail ~ It has Begun

TheForceX14

TheForceX14's  video is a great example of a well made AMV, Anime music video for those of you who are new to this term.  

The song: It has begun by Starset
The Anime : Fairy Tail

This song really fits well with the anime Fairy tail and edited very well so that song tells the story of what is happening in the anime. 

Warning! There may be spoilers in this AMV!

 But if you are like me seeing what happens in an anime may make you want to watch it more than before.

SerVamp

SerVamp started out as a Manga

Written by: Strike Tanaka

The Manga is 10 Volumes long. 

Was published by Media Factory. 

Genre: Supernatural

SerVamp is from Summer 2016 

Aired by: Funimation 

Studio: Brain's Base 

SerVamp is a 12 episode anime 

I would recommend this anime for ages 16+ as long as you don't mind a bit of violence. Though even as a 20 something you will still enjoy this anime. 

This is not your average vampire anime. This anime does not have the typical humans against vampires plotline. 

This anime is about a simple boy named Mahiru Shiota who does what most people won't do just to keep things in life simple. One day he sees a stray black cat that he takes home. He gives a little bell  to the cat and names him "Kuro"... He soon finds out that the cat he picked up was a vampire! Not just any old vampire Kuro was "Sleepy Ash" one of the seven original vampires known as Servamps. 

Mahiru and Kuro have their ups and downs but what friends don't have problems. They have to work together to protect humans and vampires alike.

This anime has a very colorful art style, but don't let that fool you there are some darker moments in this anime. This anime has both serious moments and light comedic moments. A good balance for someone who whats a bit of both. 

This anime is NOT for everyone I will admit that but then again no one anime is for everyone. But if you are looking for a new type of vampire anime I would definitely recommend that you give this a try.

Remember to try to watch a anime 3 episodes in to see if you like it before you drop it 

My Score for this anime 10/10
