Persepolis The Story Of A Childhood

So we're going to talk about the amazing graphic novels by Marjane Satrapi. And even though these aren't manga or an anime series there is an animated movie (and cause the graphic novels were just so amazing) we had to tell you about them :)

Persepolis, The Story Of A Childhood, is the first book about Marjane Satrapi's life. It tells her story through intense black and white drawings, imagination and the harsh truth of growing up in Iran after the Islamic revolution. If you want to know what it would really be like growing up in all that then this is the book to read. If you would like to learn a little more about Iran's history through an interesting view point this is the book to read. If you would like to read something that makes you think, 'omg i'm living a really good life, i'm so lucky to have what i have!' OR 'wow, what have i done with my life compared to that? i need to get out more.' Then this is the book to read!

I can't really tell you about the author Marjane Satrapi but if you read the books you'll find out all about her.

As a graphic novel Persepolis is defiantly one of the best out there. Its very well done, full of life, and the ending will have you craving for more...... Good thing there's a sequel! XD

Howl's Moving Castle

Another movie by our god Hayao Miyazaki! :D Howl's Moving Castle is actually based off the book, which we're told is very good and you should all read it. And whether its better then the movie or not, Hayao Miyazaki takes this story and creates one of the most beautiful movies. Everybody should see this movie if they already haven't. Its colorful, sweet, exciting, funny. The characters or perfect you just love them all! The plot is well done, and the whole thing just looks beautiful!

Its about this young woman, Sophie, who lives a dull life until a witch casts a spell on her that makes her an old lady. Sophie seeks out the mysterious, and extremely good looking, wizard Howl for he might be able to break the curse.

Comedy, magic, romance, mystery, war, political struggles, all that good stuff! Check it out :) if you don't agree, have strong opinions, so on and so forth, Comment! Send us an email! And vote in our polls :)

Darker Than Black season 2

So now we shall speak of the second season of Darker Than Black. Many DTB fans don't like to think of this second season of even being apart of the whole Darker Than Black world cause it just didn't live up to our expectations. Hei was pushed over to a side character, he was a drunk, the new girl was ok but she could get annoying. There wasn't enough action and what they did with the other wonderful characters from season 1 just wasn't cool. The plot in the first season was hard to define and this season was just worse. I'm sorry but Darker Than Black lost its coolness in the second season, and if you loved the first season then you might want to skip this one and just be happy not watching it crash and burn pathetically.

AH! they really messed up with what happens to the characters in this season! It makes me want to cry. But if they do ever make a third season they could kind of just pick up from the first and make it seem like the second season was a side story, but who knows if that will happen.

This trailer for season 2 best sums it up and if you think it looks cool you are welcome to watch the whole season cause this is what its like all the way through.


But this was the promo for the season, and this makes it look great! even thought it wasn't..... :(

Darker Than Black

Darker than Black is, as you may have noticed, our banner, our poster, our lives! ok no, thats getting a little too obsessive.

Darker than Black is a great anime show because of the main characters, the action! and the just plain out awesomeness. :) But besides those it really is just another anime. but this review is going to be a little one sided, so whatever.

The plot is: Ten years ago an abnormal incident happens in Tokyo, and people with special abilities start poping up, they are known as Contractors. Our main character is Hei, a very special Contractor who is neither good nor evil. And, well, there's not much else i can tell you, you just have to watch it! Seriously, if you've never seen it before you can not call yourself an anime fanatic, period.

Darker Than Black is a spy thriller, undercover backstabbing, cop detective game, action packed, and above all AWESOME! Here's a trailer :)



We will have more on Darker than Black, because you may have noticed that there is another season.... which...... *sigh, we don't like very much. But as i said, we'll talk more about that later. For now, enjoy this first season!

Sailor Moon

ahhh, yes, Sailor Moon. The classic anime like Dragon Ball, Pokeman, Yu-gi-oh, and so on.

So the members of anime-consultant would say skip sailor moon, its not worth it, its just stupid and silly and lame and old. BUT because its just so classic and most of us grew up watching it every weekend, we are going to have to say watch at least one episode so that way you can say, 'ahhh, yes, Sailor Moon. In the name of the Moon, I will punish you!'

Back to busyness....... Sailor Moon is about a young girl who finds out that she is really a princess from the moon planet, (or something like that). She starts fighting the evil that is being sent down from the evil queen Beryl from another planet cause she wants the earths energy.

There's a hundred and something episodes, most you could totally skip. And then there's other seasons, and movies. The anime is based off the manga, which is just really weird! Oh, And there was a spin off live-action tv show in japan, that was soooo ridiculously bad its not funny, no don't check it out, seriously, just watch the anime show of sailor moon, out of them all its the best.

So to sum it all up, Sailor Moon, bad. Should you watch it if you haven't before, yes. Sailor Moon is one of those shows where you roll your eyes when you here just the smallest mention of it, But that doesn't mean we shouldn't all watch it!!! :D Mwahahaha!!!!!! YES YOU SHOULD ALL WATCH IT, SO THAT WAY I, THE EVIL QUEEN BERYL, CAN STEAL YOUR ENERGY AND RULE THE UNIVERSE!

Watch the opening here! and yes the whole show is like this. So.... Sailor Scouts Go!

Avatar: The Last Aribender Movie Trailers

So for those who are going out of their minds waiting for the first movie of Avatar The Last Airbender (and if you don't know what this is check out our review we did a few months ago) Anyways, if you are insanely waiting and you didn't see the short, but awesome, trailers, or you just want to watch them again, we have them here for you :)






And this is the new one from the Super Bowl!

Yu-gi-oh

Yu-gi-oh is a amine cartoon about a card game that in a way comes to life, and the main charterer "Yo-Gi-oh" who a prophecy says will be the most powerful player ever, has to fight countless enemies. but after about the 3rd season it gets old and repetitive all the fights go something like this "oh no you are about to kill me" then " I fight for love" and then he wins. don't get me wrong it is all good and fun even if not much changes.

Recess

Soooo this may not be an anime, really its a cartoon, but, we love it and think it deserves to be mentioned/we just want to write a review on it :)

Recess is a TV show that most kids watched every Saturday mornings, and its one that everybody loved. For a kids cartoon its one of the best, the plots for each episodes were new, the characters were consistent with their emotions which made them very realistic. The comedy, even though for kids, is still funny for young adults now.

The show is about six friends in fourth grade who aren't afraid to break the rules. We watch them play tricks on the teachers at school and go crazy during recess (which is where most of the show takes place). There's six seasons and through out all those you get to know a lot of the other characters in the show really well and not just the main six. There's also a few movies based off the show and those are all really good as well, they fit right in with the theme of the show.

You don't need to spend your time watching all six seasons of this show but if you're ever in the mood for a pick-me-up watch Recess! :D Its a really entertaining show! And if you have kids this show is better then most out there right now.

And because we are so nice and wonderful, (but also just want to make sure that if you haven't seen the show you get at least a taste) we have the first episode here for you to watch. Enjoy :)
