REVIEW! Parasyte The Maxim (Series)

This is a series recommended by my friend but he refused to tell me any of the story-line, EVEN A BASIC SYNOPSIS in case he over hyped it. So i went in watching this completely oblivious and i'll tell you what, i don't regret it for a second.



SPOILERS AHEAD!!

Let's zoom through the story line shall we. I will not give any major details because if you have not watched already, i really want you to. If you;re not going to watch it you can go ahead and read someone elses review. Ok Shinichi is a regular high school student when something happens to him (Standard Anime). When he is sleeping a parasyte gets under the skin of his arm and makes its way up but he stops it going any further by wrapping his headphones around his arm. He wakes up in the morning to find out it had eaten his arm and is acting as it. It is curious and learns about the humans  and we find out ir does not have emotions and its prime instinct is to kill and eat humans. I'm going to leave it here because things get a little complicated and i think you should watch it if you have not because i don;t want to make it look like i'm over hypeing it but... THE HYPE IS REAL!


i love this anime though i am rather disappointed that we didn't find out more about the Parasytes such as where they come from. admittedly i did not notice this until one of my friends pointed it out and now it bugs me. DAMN HER! but i think this is actually a new favorite and i hope they make a second series. Need i say more?

4/5 stars all the way!

REVIEW! Blue Exorcist (Series)

Told you i was going to do more anime series OK my intro to this is more of a confession. I have been putting off watching this series for YEARS. My reason for this is a little silly. Basically i role-play on twitter with a character and everything and I've found every Blue Exorcist role-player I've ever spoken to has been a dick or majorly godmodded. It's an on going issue with Role-players because it can shape the way you see an anime series or character. But my friend Sheldon pressured this anime upon me so here we go.



SPOILERS AHEAD!!!




The anime is about a boy named Rin Okumura who (After the death of his adopted father) Finds out he is son of Satan and has inherited his powers unlike his twin brother who was believed not to have received any of Satan,s power (In the form of blue flames). Power unleashed many people and demons want to kill Rin because he may be dangerous. To keep him safe Rin is enrolled in a school which secretly trains exorcists. This is where Rin finds out his twin is actually a teacher there. In the school they try teach him to control his powers while keeping his identity a secret but of course stuff happens and Rin is forced to show his powers in front of his classmates and possible love interest. In the end we find out his twin did inherit power and they must fight to send Satan back to Gehenna (Hell?)



There is actually a whole lot more to this anime then i'm letting on but i encourage you to find out for yourself. I regret waiting so long to watch this series because it's fantastic. A real good watch, with both action and humor they create a perfect combination. Unlike other anime's i do not have a favorite character. Normally in anything i will always pick a favorite but i liked everyone equally in this one. I don't know of it's a good or bad thing really because it either means all the character were THAT good or none of them really stood out enough for me and i don;t even know which one that is. OH AND CAN WE TALK THAT ART STYLE!? WHAT A GOOD LOOKIN' ANIME!

I think that's all i have to say on the subject other than

4/5 stars

See you next week, babe!
