Shingeki No Kyojin


Review

This anime blew me away in more ways than one. From the story, to the characters, animation, and ost. The main story is basically this humanity is at war with these giants/colossal titans. These titans eat humans for really no concrete reason other than for pleasure. When I first started watching this anime I became so hooked and I could definitely see the whole buzz surrounding this anime. This anime will probably evoke so many different emotions from you, and if a show can do that then in my opinion that's great story-telling.


Ships

As far as my ships go my main ships are Levi/Mikasa, Eren/Mikasa, and Levi/Mikasa/Eren (OT3). I really love the dynamic between these three characters and how well I know they can work together to accomplish anything. I do have other ships within this fandom, but these are my three top ships.


Verdict

I was very sad to see this anime come to an end, but that's what the manga, fanart, and fanfiction are for, right? If you haven't watched this anime yet I highly recommend it. 

Score: 9.5

Legend of Korra: Civil Wars Part II


Civil Wars Part II

So far this episode was my favorite out of all the episodes that have aired as of now. The story is finally staring to pick up and the action as well. There was a nice amount of action and teamwork displayed within this episode by Team Avatar. I'm still hoping that during this season Bolin will get some great character development. Also, it was great to see Asami back in action. At first, I was all for Bolin/Eska but seeing how she's so abusive and heavily into bondage I just had to abandon ship.

Legend of Korra: Civil Wars Part I


Civil Wars Part I

In this episode, Korra was quite the jerk to everyone. Also, it's pretty easy to see that Korra's uncle is manipulating her. Mako gives horrible dating advice and his overall character is just a big meh. This season so far is definitely dealing with more of the political duties of the avatar more than anything.

2013 Tokyo Game Show


Tokyo Game Show

I know it's been roughly a week since the Tokyo Game Show, but I still wanted to do just a quick little post about it.

This year's Tokyo Game Show was definitely more eventful than last year's that's for sure. Many interesting things were showcased and the batch of Lightning Returns news that was revealed was good, but still no mentioning of Vanille at all. I also thought the tgs trailer for LR was a little lacking as well.

Pairing: NoelxYeul

Intriguingly enough this pairing is not a really popular pairing within the FFXIII fandom. I guess for most it was just a too conventional pairing, but don't get me wrong this pairing does have a pretty good number of people that ship it, but it's at the bottom of the barrel compared to the likes of Noerah and Noehopu. 

As I was playing FFXIII-2 I could easily see the connection between these two characters and it's appeal for a potentially romantic relationship. Personally, for me it's a ship that I can see either in a platonic/sibling-like light or in a romantic light. I don't know but towards the end of the game it kinda sounded like Noel shipped Yeul with Caius by the words he said to him. 

In the end, I'm perfectly okay and fine with Noel and Yeul as a couple.

Skip Beat Chapter 204


Things are finally heating up literally. So, in this chapter Kyoko took a trip to Guam to film for some drama, and low and behold as she strolled down a more secluded part of the beach she stumbles upon a beautiful creature freshly emerging from the water known as Tsuruga Ren. As usual, the mangeka has left the reader on a nail-biting cliff-hanger. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next chapter.

The Legend of Korra Season 2 Premiere


Yesterday was the highly anticipated season 2 premiere of the Legend of Korra. My thoughts regarding the one-hour season premiere is as follows; I think that the season is off to a pretty good start, I felt that there was just too much unnecessary humor that was added in, I really hope that Bolin will get some good character development and not just be reduced to the comic-relief character archetype, I still don't particularly care for the bland relationship between Mako and Korra I find it to be uninteresting to say the least and unhealthy, I love the twins they amuse me, and it's very clear that Korra's uncle has an ulterior motive. I personally think that he wants to rule over both the Northern and Southern Watertribes.

Memory Lane #08


Sailor Moon

Talk about one of the most recognized animes to date. If you're a 90's kid then the name Sailor Moon surely resonates with you in someway or fashion. This show was awesome it had everything; romance, friendship, action, adventure, and magical girl elements. The theme song is catchy as hell and the animation is absolutely gorgeous.
