Back to anime reviews, and today's anime topic is on 'Infinite Stratos'! Anyways, i would like to apologize for the slow posting even though its holidays, been busy with christmas and stuff. Infinite Stratos, is your everyday harem kind of anime (where there is only 1 male character and many female characters etc.). Mostly for laughs and mainly fanservice, so dont expect any deep shit serious plot to be associate with it. Dont get me wrong, harem's are always good and this show is no exception! People in mobile suits training and fighitng against threats along with complex male-female relationships, thats what i will describe the anime in short. Its all good, this anime succeeds as a harem/humor show. But in terms of action/plot, this anime is pretty bad. Released in january 2011, with 12 in-story episodes and 1 OVA episode. Anyone looking for animes to chill with?? This one is for you!!

My rating : 7.7/10

The show story lies in the future when technology is at its peak, a mobile suit possessing combat capabilities far greater than any combat system is created. This mobile suit is then given the name, Infinite Stratos (IS). However, the IS can only be operate by females (It happens to only work this way) and has been maintained this way ever since its creation. This 'rule' was only broken when a guy named Ichika Orimura, by accident was found capable of operating an IS. Being the only guy capable of operating the IS, he enters the Infinite Stratos academy, an all-girls academy (where students are trained to operate and combat in an IS). No need me to say, you all can already imagine how this show will be like with just Ichika and 5 specific girls!

In an harem show, its pretty hard to find some decent fights as most of them are just foolish ones. Some will be serious for the first few moments, and then crack us all up when reaching climax. Well 'Infinite Stratos' does not follow this trend, there are indeed serious decent fights (although some of them end pretty quick). Fights that start off in tension and ends right (can be disappointing at times), but well i think its satisfying!
Harem shows also have the habit of having the single guy choosing 1 out of the group of girls. Most of the anime's will just build up this tension then end the show, giving us no answer to the question. While in this anime, it does have the answer to our questions. So yeah, i guess its pretty well done for a harem kind!
Opening song, is 'Straight Jet' by Minami Kuribayashi. Catchy to the ear after listening to it a couple of times, suits the anime pretty well i guess.

[WISH LIST] Anime characters debuting in anime fighting games (Hellsing, Chrome shelled regios, Hidan no aria)

Woooo exams are over, 2 weeks of holidays from now. My blog has been pretty dam dead in the past couple of weeks, so i guess i will speed my posts up since i have the time. Rather than usual anime/game reviews, i will start off with something new today, well the title says it all! The 'Anime fighting games' that i am refering to would be characters from many various animes coming together and competing on a single platform! I wont deny the fact that these characters would mostly be from action-animes, you cant really expect (For example, Yui from K-on!!) to participate in anime fighting games, bashing people up with her guitar?!?! Thats gonna be a real funny if it really happens but who knows, even Phoenix Wright can make his debut into fighting games......Just saying!
*Since i am talking about characters from different anime's, do expect some spoilers.

Anime: Hellsing

Name: Alucard

Weapons: Control art restriction systems, dual loaded pistols

The immortal vampire believed to have been wiped off from the face of the earth..........but well he cant be!! Being the main protagonist of the show , he serves as an absolute weapon for the hellsing family without fail exterminating any targets that he is assigned to. An absolute beast i would say. You can simply see him face an entire army of average vampires and ending every single one of them with just his guns, theres not even a need to release his art restriction systems!

Well, if he ever appear in fighting games, you can expect him to be placed top tier as there is just no limit on how OP he can become. You can kill him a million times, just beware that hes gonna haunt you back twice as much!

Anime: Hellsing

Name: Walter C. Dornez

Weapons: A set of very long microfilament razor wires

One of hellsing's most capable man, nicknamed the 'Angel of Death'. Originally a top-notch vampire hunter, still one now but mainly as Integra's butler/advisor. He is also the weapon creator for both Alucard and Seras Victoria. Despite being a 63 year old human, his combat abilities surpassed most supernatural beings. He is still able to rip through hordes of undead without even moving a step. His only wish is to become the ultimate human being, so he attempts to destroy alucard in order to prove himself.

Putting him in fighting games arent a bad idea, quite a unique choice of weapon you see. Thats also the main reason why i wanted him in fighting games. Great swords/dual blades/guns etc. can be seen every now and than. Something to spice up the fun?? Here you go!!

Anime: Chrome Shelled Regios

Name: Savaris Luckens

Weapons: Pair of OP gauntlets

In the Regios world, military artistes with overwhelming power are chosen and given the title 'Heaven Blades'. Savaris being one of the top 'Heaven Blades', he specializes in hand-to-hand combat. In the show, he rarely appears in early episodes, all you know about him is that hes someone to be feared. Only during the last few episodes, he shows up more often and eventually became the 'final boss'.

Ah i guess we can expect some OP-ness from this guy, a punch from him can ensure you a dead man! Well, other than only close combat, he does have some ranged skill depending on his amount of kei and of course the devastating damage!

Anime: Hidan no Aria

Name: Aria Holmes

Weapons: Dual pistols, dual katanas

Aria, a trained butei with a kickas record and a renowned family background. She appears at the start of the show, anyone could tell shes the female lead character. A flat-chested loli that is capable of fighting, thats what she is. Dont get me wrong, i am not saying she sucks (I love loli's by the way). I am just saying shes your everyday flat-chested loli. She can be seen hanging around the male lead ever since their 1st encounter, later realising each others past and narrowing down to a similar target, the E.U organisation.

Oh yea, finally some girls to be included. Aria is not a bad choice, given that she has the proper equipments to engage but well you guys can imagine, she will be kind of plain.

Anime: Hidan no Aria

Name: Shirayuki Hotogi

Weapons: Single katana, fire abilities

The childhood friend of the main character and the also the love rival of Aria. Well, her purpose in the show isnt that important, maybe just help during urgent times and for comedy wise. Shes not really related to the mastermind plot. A maniac over love, Aria was almost killed by her plainly over jealousy!

Not bad of a choice to be place in fighting games. Being the role maiden of the Hotogi shrine, she does have the capabilities, displaying perfect swordsmanship and use of fire abilities. Highschool girl with katana...............WHY NOT!!! xD

Thats about it for this post. Some of you guys would argue, 'where are the those anime favourites like Shana and Saber'. Well, ever heard of the phrase 'Keep the best for the last', i am sticking to that principle of mine. Theres more to come as long as i continue watching anime, so yeah.

Have a nice day!

Durarara!!

Starting off december with an kickass anime, Durarara!! 'Durarara......what the fuck is it about??', would be the first impressions of people who have yet to watch it, as its name totally gives no clue, simply just sounds like a dumbass anime. Well, i dont blame you, i was once like this maybe even now..........judging anime's by their names. Back to topic, Durarara!! actually is one of a kind, all about one typical city with typical people living in it and what will happen if you ever cross with these typical people. Sounds boring, yes i know but trust me, you can never find such a storyline as solid as this! Its like when you first started watching, its nothing much. But when you reach the end, you just realised your mind is being fucked.......well-fucked!! This anime was released in early 2010, with a total of 24 story episodes and 2 OVAs. Looking for a anime with a deep plot?? Here it is!!

My rating : 8.5/10

Set in a buzzling city Ikebukuro, Japan. A lively innocent city on the outside, on the inside hid mysteries and legends yet to be unveiled. Everything begins with a young teen, Mikado Ryugamine who happens to move to Ikebukuro in order to attend the same academy with his close friend, Masaomi kida. Slowly Mikado gets drag into some internal affairs of the city, meeting unique/fearsome people along the way. (Normally, the ones who are feared by others gets their name spread all over the city). As all these is happening, someone is just at the back enjoying and overseeing the entire situation!

Its really hard to describe this anime, as there isnt really much fighting scenes (Maybe just a few with characters being real badass). It is one of those type of anime with not much action, but still being able to draw you into its story, keeping you watching. Kind of like showing life from the 'dark' side of Ikebukuro, following up by the main characters getting involved with this 'dark' side!
Opening songs, there are two. 1st opening is 'Uragiri noYuuyake', by Theatre Brook. 2nd opening is 'Complication', by Rookiez is punk'd. Great songs by great artistes, kinda suit the setting of the anime. Personally prefer the 2nd opening over the 1st.
