Side Quest 002: {Shingeki no Kyojin Criticism /*No Spoilers*/} Recommend Anime to the Internets - In Progress

Shingeki no Kyojin Criticism /*No Spoilers*/

Don't get me wrong I LOVE THIS ANIME. 

But there is one thing that bugs me almost every single episode (so far), a lot of them drags on at different parts and progresses really slowly to the point where there is almost always a cliffhanger every episode.

Well I don't know if they're real cliffhangers or I'm just way too excited for the next episode, but a lot of the time, something important is about to happen and they end the episode.

Cliffhangers are good, but not nearly every episode, that just starts to piss people or maybe just me off.

BUT I still recommend this anime to everyone. It has a great story and great characters.

Although if you don't like cliffhangers each episode, you could just wait for the whole series to finish then watch it, but I can't since I'm not that patient. =/

P.S. MIKASAAAAAA!

Side Quest 003: {Aku no Hana 03} Gather Ideas and Inspiration from Anime - In Progress

Aku no Hana

Yep, it's this infamous anime again, Aku no Hana. 

Warning, there might be minor spoilers in this post. You have been warned.

A word to give you a clue to what this episode is about is: "Bloom"

I still have no idea why I'm soo interested in this Anime, maybe because it's different? Curiosity of what might be really what people feel and do? Or is it just that I just can't stop watching an Anime when I've started it.

This episode I thought I had predicted, all his actions seemed to go as I thought it'd go, then something happened, something I didn't expect and I still have no idea of why he did it. I might just watch the previous episodes to understand what was in his mind.

But all this has made me curious on what happens next, it's not like an ending where its a cliffhanger, but makes you curious on what's going to happen next.

So if you're curious what goes through the mind of a boy in every episode of this Anime, who did something impulsive and socially unacceptable in a realistic manner, this Anime is perfect for you.

Side Quest 003: {Gungrave} Gather Ideas and Inspiration from Anime - In Progress

Gungrave

I just finished watching Gungrave, and it has made it into my top favourites of all time.

Reminded a lot of Trigun and Berserk, it was unpredictable, there were many parts where you would think that it was going to happen 100% but then, boom, change, surprise.

I just can't find words to describe this anime, it's just beautifully written in a original way, it wasn't a stereotypical story of work for a guy to see a girl (the description in myanimelist mislead me somewhat, but that was my misinterpretation). It had more deeper meaning, and understanding this whole anime will lead you to the answer of the last question of the anime. It's pretty obvious I guess, for me at least.

This anime will show you what Bros before Hoes really is.

I'd recommend this anime to everyone who has watched Berserk or Trigun.

Aku no Hana cont.

6 episodes in and you start to realise how such trivial things (in most anime), put in certain settings, can turn it to a psychological thriller. The realism of this anime is quite scary, especially if you can relate to the main character somewhat. 

Also since episode 4, the OP now calls you a piece of shit.

I don't remember the last time I was insulted by a OP..

I recommend this anime to those only who are interested in watching a serious, realistic, psychological show, with an art style that is radically different from a large percentage of anime (I assume that there is probably another anime with the same art style, as of this post, I do not know any anime which has the same art style as Aku no Hana)

Side Quest 002: {"Shingeki no Kyojin" aka Attack of the Titans} Recommend Anime to the Internets - In Progress

Shingeki no Kyojin

FIRST EPISODE OUT. WATCHED IT. FKINGAWESOMESAUCE.

This is not from the first episode

Okay, maybe I'm just a little hyped up about this Anime, or just easily amazed. Here I was thinking Bakuman and Zetusen no Tempest were going to be the best anime of the year for me, although they probably are for their genres. 

But this new Anime for this season came out of nowhere (for me at least).

At first I thought this was going to be a generic action Anime with flashy effects and stuff BUT I was fortunately mistaken and drove me to a sensation similar to what I felt when I watched the Berserk Anime series (not the movies), they have very similar sort of themes and the art style looked to be influenced by Berserk itself.

Not only this but the Director, Araki Tetsurou directed Death Note, Guilty Crown and Highschool of the Dead some of my favourite Anime of all time. In addition Kyoji Asano, the Character Designer of Shingeki no Kyojin, worked on Guilty Crown, Psycho-Pass and Sengoku Basara.

The Anime also reminded me of Lost Planet, How?

Not the snow. But groups of people working cooperatively in order to take down beings of greater scale despite their size. Also they have grapple-hook-winch thingies.

Whether or not you read any of this, is not the point, what I'm trying to say is..

WATCH IT NOW.
