Beelzebub - Review

By : otakukenyan


Beelzebub refers to a deity in Hell's realms and his name means "Lord of things that fly" his full names are Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV(bellbo). The story follows the "strongest delinquent" in a "delinquent school" as he takes the role of a father over the demon lord's son, who has a mission as he grows up, to destroy mankind.
The story follows Oga Tatsumi, Beelzebub, Hildagarde, Aoi Kunieda and "The Loser" Takayuku Furuichi.

Oga Tatsumi who's title was Kata Middle School's Ogre and reigns as one of the strongest at Ishiyama High School despite being a freshman. He shows many qualities of an ideal demon: strong, audacious, and self-centered. Through a series of events, he is bound by a sacred contract as the "father" of Beelzebub.

Beelzebub is the son of the demon king and is the person that is to become the future demon king. Ever since his contract with Oga, he exhibits behaviors such as clinging to Oga obsessively that even Oga can't shake him off.

Hildagarde also known as Hilda, is a demon maid that was assigned to take care of baby Beelzebub. She is well-known for her appearance of a gothic Lolita with huge breasts, but is also known for her brute strength and power as a demon.

The storyline is very original. A powerful delinquent named Oga is chosen to be the "father" to the son of the devil. Along with the son of the demon is a demon maid, Hilda who is to take care of the demon's son as the "mother". She moves into Oga's house in order to take care of the Beelzebub. Although the story may sound serious, there's always a light mood in this anime with ridiculous moments following Oga and Baby Beel all the time, though as the story goes on the viewer may be turned off by the repetitiveness of the plot, just like i was.

The animation is well made and the art is good. It offers the viewer a great experience of demonic auras and magical blasts.

The sounds give a nice tune for your ears. The openings and endings are fairly good aswell as the OSTs which give a good feeling for the anime.
Personally i find Beel and Furuichi hilarious not to mention MOKU5. I didn't really find the Touhoushinki amusing at all (The delinquent gang of Ishiyama). Chiaki is cute, but I don't really like the barking milkmachine (The ginger girl).

The anime is enjoyable overall. Worth a check.

ToraDora – Anime Review

By : otakukenyan


Review:
Takasu lives alone with his beautiful but undependable mother. His father who isn’t around was a weird bad-ass looking yakuza. It’s because of his genes that Takasu-kun always looks evil and is always feared and mistaken for a delinquent, when in reality he is a caring guy who has to take care of his household on his own. On his first day in a new class he bumps into Taiga, a very small but pretty easily aggravated girl, often called palmtop-tiger, and gets punched in the face. At least all the misunderstandings about his personality are cleared now very early. He later finds out she actually lives in a big apartment just beside his small house. He also finds out they both are in love with each other’s best friends, and so they agree to help each other, which turns out to be not as easy as they think.

Toradora is one of the more deep school comedy romances. The protagonists are interesting and there’s lots of character development while the comedy does not fall short in any way. It’s a story about how, unlike their outer appearances and first impressions, people can beautiful once you get to know them better and spend time with them. A show not only about love and comedy, but also about prejudice, misunderstandings, false rumors, psychology and friendship. The animation quality is more than acceptable, and from what I’ve read in the manga, the story is really going somewhere. However, the anime rushed the happenings of the manga (which also rushed the story of the original series of novells already) at a few rather important scenes and failed to convey their meanings fittingly. But someone not familiar with the novell nor manga will maybe not notice anything about that.

Kemeko DX – Anime Review

By : otakukenyan


Review:
Sanpeita-kun’s mother is always busily working as an artist at home; that’s why his little sister has to take care of the household. Their father might be gone, but they still do their best to get by. However, suddenly Kemeko appears in Sanpeita-kun’s life crashing into his room with a giant rocket, announcing to marry him. Kemeko seems to be a rather weird and ugly fighting android who protects Sanpeita from other fighting robots who attack him for no particular reason. The beautiful girl inside Kemeko reminds him of his childhood sweetheart, but that is little consolidation for all the trouble she causes.

This anime is a rather well done adaptation of the Kemeko-DX manga. The brilliant animation quality enables an adequate presentation of all those funny jokes and ridiculous situations. There obviously is a developing story with questions and secrets to be uncovered, but you shouldn’t hope for a deep and original story too much. Most of all this show is about comedy with a touch of romance, action and maybe harem.
