Tantei Gakuen Q

tantei_gakuen_q

Started reading this yesterday. It’s about aspiring detectives solving mysteries. An interesting read with intriguing cases that contain no supernatural aspects. It’s all facts and deductions; the way mysteries are meant to be solved.

The manga seems good so far, but I haven’t seen the anime version yet.

Aoi Bungaku: First Impressions

Aoi Bungaku

Aoi_Bungaku

A dark and depressing anime thus far. The series will be an adaptation of six modern classics of Japanese literature, all of which I have never heard of before.

The main character in the first story looks like a stoned Light from Death Note.

Rating: Decent

Kuuchuu Buranko: First Impressions

Is this even anime anymore? Seems more like some form of abstract art. I guess it fits with the theme of mental issues being addressed in the series. However, it feels really random and makes you wonder what the hell is going on at times.

Since this is an anime adaptation of an award winning novel, has anyone read it? Is it similar to the structure of the anime thus far?

Rating: Wtf?

WoW: Tier 10 Mage

Thanks Blizzard for making the mage not look as bad as the rogue in Tier 10 gear. Hopefully it’ll look better on a female blood elf.

Now you can easily guess what class I play.

Kiddy Girl-and: First Impressions

Kiddy Girl-and

Kiddy_Girl-and

Considering that this is a sequel and I haven’t seen the previous series except for the original Kiddy Grade, I was left somewhat clueless. What’s with the title? It makes no sense, at least to me.

The main character shown above is really annoying and that alone makes me want to drop this series. The events also feel really random; I don’t think I’ll be continuing with it – dropped.

Rating: Ugh

Touhou Project: Reimu Figures

reimu_figma

The Reimu Hakurei figma by Max Factory is the best figma that I’ve seen to date. Without the clear supporting arm behind her in the picture, she could pass as a scaled PVC figure.

Yume-iro Patissiere: First Impressions

Yume-iro Patissiere

Yume-iro_Patissiere

The main character reminds me of Mikan from Gakuen Alice in terms of appearance, but I guess that’s because both anime are in the shoujo category. Nothing like watching a light-hearted shoujo series about a girl making pastries. I think there’s also a fairy involved later on, how typical.

Rating: Good
