Manga Review:Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Vol.1

                                            Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Vol.1Review

Sailor Moon was the first anime I ever watched it was back when I was in elementary school and had no clue about what anime was but I loved Sailor Moon all the same. More recently I have watched the sub version of Sailor Moon and I found that I still enjoyed the series so when the manga started to be rereleased I was very excited to read the series.

Sailor Moon is about a girl named Usagi Tsukino who can be a bit of a crybaby and her "hobbies included sleeping, eating and taking the easy way out." Usagu one day meets a talking cat named Luna who grants her magical powers in order to stop the servants of Queen Beryl from stealing the energy from good people and to find and protect the legendary silver crystal and the Moon Princess. Usagi's powers grant her the power of the moon so when she transforms she becomes Sailor Moon but Usagi is somewhat reluctant to become a hero because she's easily scared by the villains but she does feel like she has to stand up for justice and to save innocent people.

Through out the volume more Sailor scouts are introduce that help Usagi defeat Queen Beryl's servants. The first one is Ami who is one of the smartest girls at Usagi's school but is a bit of loner because other students believe that's she stuck up(she's not at all) but Usagi ends up becoming friends with her before she finds out she's Sailor Mercury. The next one she meets is Rei who's family owns a shrine and she already has some supernatural powers, she turns out to be Sailor Mars and she uses her fire powers to defeat Queen Beryl's first servant. The last one she meets this volume is Makoto a girl that is unusually tall and strong but is actually pretty girly, she turns out to be Sailor Jupiter. I really loved meeting all these girls through out the volume and I liked how they all became friends.

Also throughout this volume Usagi when she's Sailor Moon continually runs into to a guy that goes by the name Tuxedo Mask and throughout the volume Usagi develops more and more of a crush on him and he seems to feel the same way about her. Usagi shares quite a few romantic moments including a kiss with Tuxedo Mask through out this volume. Usagi also runs into a high school boy named Mamoru several times throughout the volume who she often argues with but looks pretty much exactly like Tuxedo Mask. I really loved the relationship between Usagi/Mamoru, Sailor Moon/Tuxedo Mask in this volume.

I think that the art in this volume is super pretty older shugo style which I really love and I wish that more of the newer manga was in this type of style because all the artwork is really pretty and girly. I overall loved the plot and characters that were contained in this volume and I liked that this volume moves so much faster the anime ever did. I overall love this volume and I'm looking forward to the next one. Please tell me your thoughts on the series.

Fangirl Friday 16

Fangirl five Friday is a weekly meme host Nancy Drew is my Homegirl and what it's meme that has you list the top five things you've been fangirling about this week.

1. The Olympics: Over the past two weeks I've been really enjoying the Olympics especially the women's gymnastics. I loved the Gymnastics this year with how the US women's team won gold and Gabby Douglas of the American won gold in the individual all around. I'm also loved that Aly Raisman won bronze in the beam and gold in floor. I liked that Mckayla Maroney won the sliver in vault but I'm a little sad she didn't win gold because she did a partically perfect vault in the team final. I also enjoyed watching the uneven bar final even though none of the US gymnasts medal in that event I really enjoyed watching everyone in it and I was happy for the three people who medal. I also watch some men's gymnastics, swimming, diving and running but my favorite sport to watch was by far the women's gymnastics, I'm also going to try and follow the sport better from now on.

2. The Heroes of Olympus series: I'm currently reading The Son of Neptune and it's a really good book with great characters, an interesting plot and mythology. I especially love that Percy is one of the narrators again.

3. The Wolves of Mercy Falls series:I'm currently reading Linger which I think is a really good book with well developed characters and an interesting plot. I especially love the introduction of the character Cole and I still love Sam as much as I did in the first book if not more. I also love that in this book Isabel's character is more developed.

Anime Review: Arcana Famiglia: Childhood Friends(1.05)

                                  Arcana Famiglia: Childhood Friends(1.05)Review

In this episode Felicita tries to get closer to Nova but it seems that she's unable to since Nova believes it would be better if he kept himself distant from her since the two of them are very different. In this episode we also learn that at one point Felicita and Nova were engaged but the engagement has now been voided. It also revealed that Nova's parents saw him as a tool and wanted to overthrow Papa and Mama and become the new leaders of the family which led Nova to put them to sleep with his arcana power and so they been asleep for the past seven years.

I found this episode to be really enjoyable. I liked that there was quite a bit of character development as well as a back story given for Nova in this episode. I also like how it's pretty clear Nova likes Felicita but doesn't think a relationship would work between them. I liked that there was a scene were Nova and Felicita stopped a group of criminals. Another thing I liked about this episode was that it was still clear that the events from last episode were still affecting Liberta and that things were still weird between him and Felicitia. Please tell me your thoughts about this episode.

Manga Review: Hanna to Akuma Vol.1

                                                   Hanna to Akuma Vol.1Review

Hanna to Akuma is about a demon named Bibi who decided to move to the human world and shortly after arriving he takes in a baby girl named Hana on whim. Now Hana is fourteen years old and always wants to touch Bibi. Bibi doesn't want to touch Hana because he fears that if he does she would wither and die just like the flowers that Hana loves to give to him.

Bibi also has to deal with other demons trying to convince him to go back to the demon world since he wasn't suppose to leave it in the first place since he was of an important rank. The first is a cheerful demon named Felton that claims that he and Bibi are old friends but Bibi denies this. Felton gives up pretty quickly after seeing the bound between Bibi and Hana and Felton is also quite fond of Hana as well and has decided to stay in the human world as well. Then there's Klaus a demon who was always bested by Bibi even though he worked his hardest and Bibi barley tried. Klaus eventually went back to the demon world to report that he was unsuccessful at bring Bibi back with him.

I find the story to be very cute and I love the relationship between Bibi and Hana because it's cute and innocent and the two of them are so different. I really like the art style as well it's very pretty. I overall really liked this volume. Please tell me your thoughts on it.

Anime Review: Arcana Famiglia: Confession of A Mask(1.04)

                                   Arcana Famiglia: Confession of A Mask(1.04)Review

In this episode Liberta's past is revealed as well as the reason he has trouble remembering most of his past. I found it very interesting that Liberta was raised in an orphanage by cruel people who were especially cruel to him since he had arcana powers and was rescued by Dante who then sealed his memories. I also find it interesting that Liberta's arcana powers are actually the power of word which seems like that could be a pretty dangerous power if he doesn't know how to control it.

I overall loved this episode and I especially liked that Liberta's backstory was included in the series because I wasn't expecting to find out about anyones past this early on. I also like that this episode fleshed out Liberta's and Dante's relationship because there wasn't much of it scene in the first couple episodes. I also liked that in this episode it was pretty much stated that the people are born with arcana powers not that they gain them when they join the family. Please tell me your thoughts on the episode.

TV Review: Teen Wolf: Party Guessed(2.09)

                                           Teen Wolf: Party Guessed(2.09)Review

• I liked that the whole what Peter was doing with Lydia thing was cleared up in this episode. I find it scary and interesting that she's to bring him back to life and that the full moon of March will help him achieve that goal.
• I liked that Derek admitted that he doesn't really know how to kill or stop the kanumia.
• I liked how the show dealt with Mrs. Argent being bit and how the Argents(except for Alison) decided that it would best for her to die. I found the storyline to be quite sad even though I don't really like Mrs.Argent.
• I love how Stiles feels like he has to solve the kanumia's murders and how he doesn't want creepy science teacher to go to jail if he didn't do it. I also like how Stiles said that he doesn't hate the science teacher even though the science teacher hates him.
• I liked the scene were Alison and Lydia picked out clothes to wear for Lydia's party.
• I liked how Jackson told Lydia that she shouldn't want him at her party because it shows that he knows he's dangerous and that cares enough about her that he doesn't want to kill her.
• I liked how this episode dealt with Issac's, Erica's and Boyd's full moon transformation. I also liked that Issac was able to find anchor for himself to be somewhat in control.
• I liked how Stiles brought Lydia a big present.
• I also liked that Scott and Stiles both called people up to come to the party because no one  was showing up.
• I liked the hallucinate drink that was at the party because it showed the kind of things that was in the characters subconscious. Like Alison's was about how she thought of herself was weak which is probably foreshadowing with were her character arc is going. Then Stiles was about how he felt somewhat responsible(or that he felt his dad blamed him for her death) for his mom's death and how he fears that his behavior may be killing his father, this made me very sad. Scott's was about Alison possibly cheating on him and Jackson was about his biological parents.
• I'm pretty surprised that Matt's the kanumia master but I'm not too sure that is really true even though we saw him and Jackson in kanumia form together.
• I found it creepy that Lydia seemed to be in such a trans when she uses Derek to revive Peter. I'm really interested to see what Peter's planning to do now that he's alive again. Also I hope this means that Lydia will finally be in the know about the supernatural things.

Please tell me your thoughts on the episode.

Anime Review: Hakushaku To Yousei: White Bow, Scarlet Bow(1.06)

                             Hakushaku To Yousei: White Bow, Scarlet Bow(1.06)Review

In this episode there's more talk of the ring made of the moon that had gotten stuck on Paul's finger last week and Kelpie wanted to give that ring to Lydia. Two fairies who work for the Fairy Queen wanted to have whoever was wearing the ring marry the queen but Lydia put a stop to that. Edgar and Raven also investigate the death threats that were sent to Edgar last episode and it's discovered that the organization that are sending the threats are called the Scarlet Moon and believe that Edgar is an impostor.

In this episode it's also proven that Paul knew Edgar when he was young, before his family died and he changed his name. Paul is shown to before working for the Scarlet Moon organization but once his sure of who Edgar really is he stops his attempt on Edgar's life only for another mysterious figure to stab him with a blade that has a rare poison on it.

Another big part of this episode was the relationship between Edgar and Lydia with Edgar pretty much confessing that he's in love with Lydia. Lydia repeatedly saying that it would be bad if they had feelings for each other and that she doesn't believe him or trust him because he's still keeping secrets from her. Edgar says that he believes Lydia is just afraid of falling in love which Lydia denies. Although denies to have romantic feelings for Edgar she thinks at one point that she wishes she could keep Edgar safe and at the end of the episode she vows to save him.

I overall really enjoyed this episode I thought there was a good amount of both plot and relationship development. I also really liked the scene were Kelpie gave Lydia a chick, I don't really know why. Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.
