Anime Review No.3: Monogatari series

Bakemonogatari//Nisemonogatari

 Bakemonogatari//Niesemonogatari

We need to use our brain to understand the story.

as the word mean 'Bake' is monoster, 'Nise' is fake.

there are many novel series

Genre

Harem, Comedy, Mystery, school

My opinion//story

Monogatari means ‘story’ in English. In animation, ‘Monogatari’ series are well known. They are famous in good story telling and special character characteristic. This animation also shows vampire and monsters with funny scene.

The main girl character ’Senjougara Hitagi’ is ‘chenderae’. ‘chenderae’ is animation word that indicate some characters who hide their love to other people. She picked 1^st chenderae character in 2012.

The story is very complicated to understand at first. The original story is light novel. The Author didn’t write story with patrol. The first animation ‘Bakemonogatari’ is not the first story of the ‘Monogatari’ series. The first story is ‘Kizemonogatari’ which is not made by animation. In ‘kize monogatari’ the main character ’Araragi Koyomi’ met king of monster; vampire. He became vampire and help his master to live. At the end he eats his master blood to become human. However, he become almost human, partly vampire. The next story is the ‘Bakemonogatari’, he met some monsters and save human from that monsters.’ Bake’ means monster, so it indicate ‘monster story’. Then, ‘Nisemonogatari’, the story flow with Araragi’s sisters. The world ‘nise’ is false. In English, Nisemonogatari is false story. The story is perfectly connected with fake thing and I surprised when I watched the animation.

The character ‘Araragi chekihi’ and ‘Sengoku Nadeko’ were top10 best girl animation character to me. ‘sengoku nadeko’ has cute face and cute characteristic. Sengoku Nadeko’s character song ‘Ren’ai circulation’ is well known for cute song. ‘Araragi Chekihi’ has cute face but terrible in characteristic. She tries to kill his brother Koyomi because he slept again after she said ‘don’t sleep again’ her character song ‘platinum disco’ is very fantastic song. I have never heard such rhythm. In my opinion, Chekihi is cuter when her hair is short.And this is conclusion of introducing monogatari series. If you concern what to see, don’t think just watch ‘Monogatari’ series. Next time I will write about ‘Clannad’ see you next time!!

Steins;Gate

The original of this animation is game.

The stage is in Akihabara

it has similar background with 'Chaos Head'.

Story begin after 1 year later Shibuya's collapse 

Genres

Harem, Time machine 

My opinion//story 

Have you ever heard; ‘eel psy kongroo’? This is famous line which Is spoken by ‘Okabe Rintaro’, the main character of ‘stein; gate’. The animation ‘stein; gate’ is well known to anime lover. It has very fresh subject about TM, Time Machine. Many people said that it has boring scene until ep.5. however I enjoyed every episode.

 The event occur when ‘Makise Chris’., the girl who got red hair, died. Okabe saw the scene when he had gone to lecture about time machine. He sent mail to his friend that he saw someone died. Surprisingly, his mail fo to future and future is change. Okabe realize that and try to change his future. On the other hand, at the end his friend ‘Shina’ died. To change this situation he make time machine that make him to go past. He saw Shina’s death many times and he realize the future won’t be change unless he cancle all the future message he sent. While cancel the future mail he love with Makise (don’t try to steal my girl -.-). At the end, Okabe agony about Makise’s death and Shina’s death.

 Actually this anime make my heart pump very fast. His final selection was so emotive and fantastic. While watching stein;gate I was very curious what does this anime want to want to us. My final answer is they criticize about science development of modern life. Discovering new fastest thing in the world instead light, made human to approach time machine near. However time machine can be become war and the future or past will change according to who use it with what purpose. Finally it become worse than doesn’t exist.

 You want new type of animation? Try stein; gate! Eel psy kongroo good luck

Anime Review No.1: Sword Art Online

Sword Art Online (SAO)

 

Sword Art Online

<<Sword Art Online>> is online novel written by Japanese author 'Kawahara Reki'.

It is a Animation, base on novel.

Genre

VRMMORPG, Action, Romantic

 My Opinion / / Story

In 2012, animation ‘sword art online’ issued in animation kingdom. It was ‘VRMMORPG’ animation which background virtual reality. The animation originated by light novel. Without ‘VRMMORPG’ it include in romance, fantasy and action animation.

This is my first virtual reality animation. Before I saw this animation, I always had longed virtual reality. Sometimes I hope playing some RPG (Role Playing Game) in virtual reality. Eliminate monsters with sword or magic. Take care of my virtual reality character to do more level up. Finally I watched animation; I thought this is what I really want for long time.

 The animation is originated by light novel which is written by ’kawahara reki’. He is author who wrote about ‘VRMMORPG’. He wrote ‘Accel World’ which is related to virtual reality. There are 11 books in light novel. Interestingly this animation only based on 1~4 books. This mean we can expect ‘Sword Art Online II’ animation which based on 5 to 8 or 9 books will made.

Genre of sword art online is ‘VRMMORPG’ and ‘cyberpunk’. VRMMORPG is ‘virtual reality massive multiplayer online role playing game’. Cyberpunk is mix of cybernetic and punk. Cybernetic is automatic system which achieve their purpose themselves, punk mean underground opinion. Thus cyberpunk is contempt attitude in cyber space.  

Different with normal animation the background of the animation is 2022. The main character is ‘Kirito’ who like virtual reality games. The main happen cause because of game name ‘sword art online’. As soon as the game published 10000 people are locked in ‘Sword Art Online’. Of course kirito is one of ‘sword art online’ victim. The game maker wants player to recognize virtual reality to real world. So player can’t log out from game and if they died in game, virtual reality game device which detached on players head burn the brain. Unlike other player kirito plays game with solo. As the time flow kirito meet other main character ‘Asuna’ who is kirito’s girlfriend and future wife.

The second story of ‘sword art online’ is after release from world of sword art online, kirito notice Asuna isn’t come back to real world. He find Asuna is lock in other virtual reality game again. So he plays other virtual reality game to rescue Asuna.

This animation is perfect for person who like fantasy/romance animation. Some fighting scenes make my heart fast and ‘Kirito-Asuna’ couple makes me lovable. Some people have bad reputation about ‘Sword Art Online’ because there is less description. For sure, there are no process of being level up and fighting with every boss character. However, In my opinion it is so long to describe process of level up because it takes much time to level up each time. Also every story has strong connection, it covers other shortage.

There are many famous songs in ‘Sword Art Online’. The best song for me is ED2 ‘overfly’ it is fantastic songs because i find myself singing this song after watching ‘Sword Art Online.

‘Sword Art Online’ it is the best animation I have ever seen. I watched all chapters in one day. After that I read light novel to know more about ‘Sword Art Online’ if you try to start watching animation or want to see virtual reality concern animation I strongly recommend this animation.

“World Street Fashion: Tokyo: Shibuya"

“World Street Fashion: Tokyo”

           In Tokyo, there are so many different fashion styles, that some people who aren’t unfamiliar to Tokyo fashion, they might get freaked out. Tokyo fashion is famous in very unique and unusual fashion. Gyaru make up, the color their skins and lips darker and highlight their eyes, is one of examples of Tokyo fashion.  In addition, there are variety of fashion style in Tokyo to. Let’s check back to see the latest trends and trend-busters in Harajuku and Shibuya.

 2# Shibuya

Shibuya is one of the famous shopping center in Tokyo. There are many famous shopping mall in Shibuya such as ‘Shibuya 109’ and ‘Paroo’. Shibuya has cultural shocking fashion, so get ready to get freaked out.

:0… WOW! Their fashion is so variety to explain one by one. There are many ‘Gya Ru’ make up, burn or color their skin dark and give highlights in their eye makeups. Their hairs are bright. Their fashion is really punky. I guess they got many affection from animation, so they like to dress up like a character in the animantions. Their fasion is really stricking and particular. In addition, it is unique that we can’t find japan’s fashion anywhere.

In conclusion, I don’t really love their fashion, but it was OK for me. It was quite cultural shock for me. However, I like it better and better. The more I look, the more I like it :P. I praise that Japanese have unique fashion sense.

I used the photo from http://tokyofashion.com/ . There are more fashions that I hadn’t show. Don’t be so afraid because there are many normal fashions too:) I just showed you the top shocking fashions for me.
