Who are You School 2015

I know it has been a while since I have posted. I'm not going to be posting a whole lot this year because of school. Sorry about that. I will try to post when ever I can, so bare with me.
For this post I will be talking about the k-drama Who are you School 2015. I know that this came out earlier this year and I just now watched it. Truth be told it was sitting in my queue waiting to be watched and I just never watched it. Till now that this. I am kind of sad that I didn't watch this during the summer, because this is show has ruined my life. Not really, but close to it. I can't stop thinking about it. The soundtrack it almost always stuck in my head. The story made me cry so many times. This show, at times, can be a really feels heavy show. Who are you can be serious and funny when it wants to be. It focused on bullying which I thought was really smart, because that is what goes on in schools. I love that they focused on bullying, because they should how hard it is on the victims. The bullying was want made me want to cry so much, because I felt so bad for Lee Eun-Bi. I kept thinking that she didn't deserve to be treated like that. I liked the fact that they put a twin because it gave Eun-Bi the chance to have friends that she never had.
Eun-Bi did have a hard time once her former bully showed up at the school that she was portending to be her sister. I swear that girl that bullied Eun-Bi is nothing but trouble. I hated her so much along with her mother. I mean her daughter was the one causing trouble but she insisted that Eun-Bi was the problem and that she should be transferred. As they say, like mother like daughter. That saying really applies to this show with those two. I am glad that they did have Eun-Bi and Eun-Byeol's secret reviled in the end. I also liked that everyone was open to getting to know Eun-Bi for who really was. I was also happy that the bully got put in her place.
Out of the two guys that were in Eun-Bi's life I shipped her with Kong Tae-Gwang, because I felt that he could relate to her better than Han Yi-An. Of course my ship did not sail, so I am very sad about that. In my head my ship sailed. I don't care what the show has to say about my ship not happening. I still believe in my heart that they got to together in the end. The ending was enough to satisfy me and I did really like the ending, just can't get over the fact that my ship didn't sail. It is like She's so lovable all over again. I really did love this show and I would say that it is a must watch. If you are in high school, like me you will find it relate able. There isn't really any romance so if you want a break from that stuff you could watch Who are You School 2015. I will write again when I watch another show or when She was Pretty finishes airing on Dramafever. Till next time!

Himouto! Umaru-chan

I have noticed that my anime reviews get more views, so I shall do another anime review. This time on the Summer season anime Himouto! Umaru-chan. Let me start off by saying that this anime describes a lot of people, including me. This anime is about a high school girl named, you guessed it, Umaru. Umaru lives with her older brother. Umaru is also very very lazy when she gets home from school. She loves games, manga, anime, and junk food and cola. If it's junk food she'll eat it and if it's not junk food she won't. Umaru is a popular girl in school, she's good at sports and she gets good grades. You wouldn't even guess that she was lazy bum when she got home. Here's the catch though, no one but Umaru's brother knows about what she's really like. She can't show her true-self outside of her house.
It is kind of sad that I can relate to this show on many levels. I am basically Umaru minus the gamer part and being popular. I've never been one for games, I get bored of them fast. This show is pretty relate able on many levels. It's a short show too, only 12 episodes.
This show doesn't really have a lot of character growth to it, it is just a short, stupid comedy show. I wish that they focused a little more on her brother. They tried to show more of his life and his past towards the end, just wish they added more to it. Her brother does so much for Umaru, he buys her so much stuff. There were times throughout the show that I had to ask myself, "where does he get all this money?" You learn in the show that Umaru and her brother are from a rich family, but I can't help but question why her brother lives in a small apartment when he is rich.
I wish that this show had a few more episodes, because they never said why Umaru moved in with older brother. I was wondering that question throughout the entire show. Alas there is only so much that you can explain in 12 episodes. Maybe this show will get a second season. I know that a lot of shows lately have been getting a second season, so maybe this one will too.
This show might not have been the greatest, but it was still good. I will admit that I only watched this show because it seemed to be really popular. I an glad that I watched this show, I just wasn't expecting the show to mimic my LIFE! That was almost scary, I mean it. I won't say that you should watch this show like right now, but if you want something nice and light this is a good show to watch. This show is also a good source of some really stupid comedy.

Skip Beat!

Skip Beat! was one the very anime shows that I watched, so it holds a special places in my heart. If you don't know what Skip Beat! is all about than I shall give a brief summary. Skip Beat! is about a girl named Kyoko who goes to Tokyo with her childhood friend and first love, Sho. Sho becomes a famous signer and only views Kyoko as a plain, ordinary girl. Kyoko over heard Sho talking about how she was plain, so she said that she would get her revenge. Kyoko than enters the show biz world herself and things don't always go as she plans.
Skip Beat! is all about the humor of Kyoko and her getting revenge and most importantly her trying stop herself from loving Ren. As the show goes on Kyoko learns that she really loves acting, so she kind of forgets about her getting revenge on Sho. I love that as you watch the show or even read the manga you see Kyoko evolve into this bright, cheery girl that loves to act. Kyoko also is like an amazing actress, she can play like any character. Kyoko is really a lovable girl that you can't help but love. Her love of fairy tales and princess and the fact that she acts like a 7 year old can get old at times, but that is also the way that she is. All that she is obsessed with is part of who she is a character and that is kind of why you can't help but love her.
When I first watched Skip Beat! I wasn't that big of a fan of it. Yeah it was funny and it had a great story and all, but something kept me from loving it. Months later when I actually started to read the manga where the anime left off I became hooked. I couldn't stop reading it. I really loved the arcs that happened in the manga. After reading the manga I really do think that Skip Beat! should get a second season. It really deserves a second season. Where the anime leaves off is really awkward, I didn't care for it. The only way you could describe it would be a read the manga ending.
There are so many reasons as to why I love Skip Beat! and one of those reasons is because the characters are so great. They are so funny, but they can also be dead serious. They are the type of characters that when they are serious you will take them serious even though they have a corky personality 95% of the time. I like all the characters, but I think I love Yashrio the best. He's just the best! He is also the best manager ever! He really knows how to push Rens buttons. Yashiro is also like the ultimate fanboy. Another reason as to why I really like him is because he is like the ultimate Kyoko and Ren shipper. Yashiro was like the first one to figure out that Ren liked Kyoko and he keeps teasing Ren over it too.
If there is anything that I have to complain about it would be the fact that Kyoko and Ren are both really dense! They like each other but they won't do anything about their feelings! It's taking way to long for them to get together! I guess it's just going to take a while. It better happen sometime though cause if it doesn't than I will be very upset! I have read the manga for Skip Beat! like three times so I have grown attached to the characters and I have also become a major Ren and Kyoko shipper, so if they don't get together I will be very unset. I will most likely end up punching a pillow or something like that, I don't really know. I'm sure that the author will have them get together sometime in the near future. I'm sure of it, I mean the manga seems to going that direction right now. So I guess we just have to give it time.
I think that's all I really got to say about Skip Beat! I have no idea what show I will write about next. There are just to many good shows out there. I'm sure I will write about The Time We Were Not in Love when it wraps up in a few more weeks, before that I have no idea. Anyways till next time!

Healer


I know that drama reviews aren't the most popular and all but I really want to write about Healer. This show is so amazing that words can't even describe how awesome it truly is. It's a show that has action, suspense, a little comedy, some romance and best of all a really well thought out story. The story for Healer is amazing. I wouldn't change a thing about the story. The show is so good that I have been feeling a void since yesterday. If I was getting a void when I haven't even finished the show yet I knew it was going to be bad when I did finish it and here I am feeling empty. I am currently listening to the OST trying to get over the pain that I am in.
When I first heard about Healer I wasn't to sure of it. I put it on my list of shows to watch, but than I later took it off, but than after a while I saw some stuff so I got to thinking maybe it wouldn't hurt to watch it. So I put it back in my list and it sat there for months of course. It's not like I didn't want to watch it, it was just that I wanted to watch other shows. I am really glad that I watched it now, because if I watched this during the school year it would be bad news. I also made the right choice of not watching it when it was airing. If I did who knows what state I would be in. Summer truly is the best time to watch Healer. It also doesn't hurt that the shows title is Healer.
I don't really feel like explaining what Healer is all about. I will just say that it is a show that has a lot of twits and turns and there is never a dull moment. Oh, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. There is only one this that I would like to change and that would be the ending. The last episode didn't fall flat, it just wasn't fully there. It needed to explain a few more things. I'm not going to say what needed to be better explained because that would cause spoilers and I don't want to do that. One thing that I really loved about Healer was that I could sit down in bed and watch five or six episodes straight without making me tired or me wishing that the episode would finish. I never once wanted the episode to end. There aren't a lot of dramas that I have watched where I could lay down in my bed and watch episode after episode and not wish for it to end. There is another reason as to why Healer kept me so intressted. At the end of an episode it can leave you off with a nice cliffhanger and when they didn't give me a preview I had no choice but to watch the next one.
With all great shows comes a great OST. Healer definitely has a great story, great characters and a great OST. It is in my top drama OSTs for sure. I know that Mask has great music so I am waiting to see which OST is better, Mask or Healer. They will be battling it out for spot number two. Number one belongs to My Love from Another Star, I really love that OST. When you listen to the music for Healer you can truly imagine the show in your head. It's almost like you're watching the show again. I I also love the use of sting instruments throughout the soundtrack, they add so much to the soundtrack.
Healer is a must watch for sure. It is also a re-watch. I have plans to re-watch this show sometime. I wonder what would happen I re-watched it right now. Would my void grow larger, would it disappear, or would it stay the same? Just a warining if you do watch Healer, you will have major Boys over Flowers moments. It will get ugly, so have a pillow handy so you can punch and throw it. When I have Boys over Flowers moments having a pillow ready comes in handy. That's all I got to say for Healer. Bye.

Fairy Tail

If you are an otaku, like me, than you know that FT is one of the most popular anime shows/manga right now. Fairy Tail is all about family and sticking together through thick and thin. For some people FT might to long a show for them, but if you take the time to watch it you will realize that it is a fantastic show. I first watched FT two years ago when it had 175 episodes. I watched it in a week or two. I can't really member. Once I finished the anime I picked up the manga and started reading that. I started with the chapter where the anime left off on. Before you judge me for watching the anime and only reading the manga from where the anime left off from, let me say this. I did actually did read all of the FT manga, just not right away. When I found out that FT was getting picked up again for another season, last year I was so happy. When the first trailer was released I watched that thing so many times. I love that they upgraded the animation. I like the newer animation than the older animation.
Now like all long running anime shows there is a ridiculous number of characters in FT. The list keeps growing too. You would think that with as many characters as this show has that it would affect the show, but it really doesn't. If anything it adds more variety and depth to the plot. Not to mention that some how some of the characters are connected. An example of this would be Natsu and Zeref. Fairy Tail never fails to surprise me. The arcs do get a little long at times. That is mainly because it's a weekly manga and they tend to be about 20 pages or so.
FT has very unique characters. I'll focus on a few of the main characters. Natsu is all about protecting his FT family, he tends to go a little over broad when it comes to fighting. He once destroyed part of a town! Okay, he destroyed a lot of things, that's just what he's like. Natsu has never been one to back down from a fight no matter who it is or how strong they are, cause Natsu will always will beat them. Lucy is I think is the only real "normal" character in this series. She keeps Natsu, Gray and Erza all in check. She can be a little big-headed at times, but that what makes a good match for Natsu. I'm a NaLu shipper. Gray is a guy that can't keep his clothes on. He is constantly stripping, because it's a habit of his from when he was training to be an ice mage. Erza, don't ever touch her cake. If you do you are sure to die, oh and she is one of the strongest FT mages. I know those aren't good descriptions, but I've been all that good at describing things. Sorry.
FT is one of my fav. anime show, mostly because it never fails to surprise me. I am actually behind on the anime, but I did read the latest chapter. The latest FT arc is so good right now. I can't wait for the next chapter. When you put Zeref in it makes for a good story. I still don't know whether I should hate Zeref or not. He's kind of in between, I guess. While FT does fall short for me sometimes, it is still a good show to watch. Yes, it is a long running show, but that shouldn't mean you shouldn't watch it. I was unsure if I watched to watch it because I watched Bleach and that has 366 episodes. I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch another really long show. When I started it, I didn't regret a thing. Am I going to watch another really long show again, I'm not sure. I don't think I will, but never say never.
That's all I got for Fairy Tail. Till next time. Bye.

Mask(thoughts so far)

So I started this drama a little later than I would have liked. I was going to watch this drama when it first came out but I just never got around to it for some reason. I finally got around to watching it a couple of weeks ago. When I watched the first few episodes I kind of wished that I started it a whole lot sooner, but I was also happy that started it later. I don't think I could have handled the suspense. I can hardly handle the suspense now that I've started watching it. Mask is show that really knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat and that's one of the things I love about it. So for this entry I will talking about what my thoughts of Mask are so far.
The Korean drama Mask has 14 episodes right now and is getting a 20 episode run. The first episode or so are kind of confusing, in my opinion. As the show goes on it gets less confusing, which is nice. This show is about the main female lead(Ji Sook) dying(not really) and becoming Eun Ha, a rich heiress and the daughter of a senator. Ji Sook and Eun Ha happen to look like identical twins, in other words they are doppelgangers. So the legend of when you see your doppelganger is who ever sees who first will be the first to die. In the case of this show that legend happens to be true. Eun Ha saw Ji Sook first so therefore she was the first to die. You would think that this wouldn't be that big of a deal but since this a drama her death was a very big deal. Ji Sook ends up taking Eun Ha's place and marries Min Woo. In order for Ji Sook to take Eun Ha's place she would have to "die". I think you figure out what happens next throughout the show.
Now that I explained what the show is about I can now talk about all the other things without trying to give away spoilers. I will try my best, but it will be hard. Lets start with what I like about the show so far.
1. The acting is really good. The second female lead(Mi Yeon) reminds me of the second female lead from My Love from Another Star.
2. The OST is to die for and I am not exaggerating at all. There aren't a whole lot of shows that I've watched that have really good OSTs. My Love from Another Star and Blood are the two shows that I really love their music. It's a shame I can't find Blood OST anywhere. It had really good music.
3. The fashion is pretty good, some outfits might not be my taste but still good fashion.
4. Min Woo's OCD at the beginning of the show was pretty great. Just saying. The OCD had its moments.
5. Seeing who much Ji Sook has grown from episode 1 to episode 14 and the fact that she finally got a backbone in like episode 10.
6. Seeing the love slowly start to blossom between Ji Sook and Min Woo.
I'm going to leave off with that. There are so many more reasons why I love this show, but I'll just name a few. Now I shall go on to the don't like list. Be prepared.
1. Seok Hoon, I'm going to leave it at that.
2. Mi Yeon, I don't hate her, but I don't fully like her either. I know that she does care for Min Woo as his sister but she can be a little off? at times. I don't really know how to describe her.
3. The fact that Ji Sook had no backbone what so ever for 9 episodes.
4. I really hate how Seok Hoon has to be in on every single thing that Ji Sook does. I get that you don't want her secret to be found out and all, but still you don't know every single thing she does.
5. I really hate that Seok Hoon has all these cameras set up to spy on Ji Sook. How do you think she would feel if she knew that you were spying on her?
6. Another thing related Seok Hoon. The fact that he treats Mi Yeon so coldly and tells her all these lies is disgusting. He didn't even look all that happy when Mi Yeon thought that she was pregnant. Some husband he is.
The rest of the list is mostly comprised of Seok Hoon. What can I say I just don't like him. Some how
I think that I would like Mi Yeon so much more if she wasn't married to him. I guess we will never know. Some people might hate on the actress who plays Ji Sook because of the type of character that she is playing. Some people might say that she can't act because of this show. I actually think that the actress that plays Ji Sook is a really good actress. It's not that she can't act it's the way the character Ji Sook is. The character Ji Sook reminds me a lot of Mi Young from the korean remake of Fated to Love you. It's not that the actress is bad at acting it's just the way that the character is and the way that they portray that character. So don't hate of the actress that plays Ji Sook. If you were in Ji Sook's place you would have a hard time acting like someone else. If you were in her place you might even act just like her. You just have to look at it from a different angle.
I will leave off with that. I hope that I can get back to writing again. I haven't been all that great once summer got here. Sorry about that. Till next time. ;)

Secretly, Greatly

This was one of the first Korean movies I ever watched and I loved every minute of it. I loved it so much that I have watched it three times now. Every time I watch it I still want to cry at the end. Secretly Greatly does a great job of transitioning from funny to serious really well. Now you are probably wondering what this movie is about. Well let me explain.
This movie is about a North Korean spy who goes down to the south to well spy. The spy is played by none other than Kim Hyun Soo! Him being in this movie is also why its go great. Kim Hyun Soo has been in South Korea for two years and his undercover is the town idiot. He does a really good job of acting as the town idiot. It also doesn't take much to act like an idiot too. As time goes on two more spys come to Kim Hyun Soo town and than they receive an order to commit suicide. I'm going to leave it off there, not because I'm doing a bad job of explaining, but because I don't want to spoil the movie.
One thing that I discovered with this movie is that Lee Hyun Woo is in it! If you don't know who he is if you watch The Technicians he plays the computer hacker. I kind of fell for Hyun Woo-oppa when I watched The Technicians. So when I watched Secretly Greatly again I fangirled every time I saw Hyun Woo-oppa. When it comes to fangirling over actors there has only been two that I've fangirled over. One of course is Hyun Woo-oppa and the other is L from infinite.
Back to Secretly Greatly. This movie has a great plot line. The music is okay, not fantastic, but its not terrible. I haven't watched a lot of Korean movies, but of the ones that I've watched this one is my favorite. I also had tears in my eyes at the end of this movie. It gets so emotional towards the end. They really know how to kill you with sadness at the end of this movie.
Secretly Greatly is a great movie. It makes you laugh in the beginning than makes you cry at the end. It's the kind of movie that you never want to end. It really is a movie worth checking out. Even if your not sure you'll like it just watch five minutes of it. You won't regret it. That's all I got for Secretly Greatly. Comment and let me know what I should review next. I'm having a hard time figure out what shows to review.

Sly and Single Again review

I'm sorry that I haven't written this past week. I've been busy with my finales, but now I'm on summer vacation! YAY! Sly and Single again aka Cunning Single Lady is a show that doesn't mess around. Right away with episode one you want to cry. This was the first show that I've watched that made me want to cry during the first episode. This show doesn't mess around when it comes to emotions, it jumps right into it.
A little background to the story. Ae Ra and Jung Woo used to be married but Jung Woo quite his job to start a business. Ae Ra had to take one a number of jobs just to support them. As time went on she sends up filing for divorce. They went their separate ways and end up meeting a few years later. The first episode focuses one when they were newly weds to when she filed for divorce. Jung Woo ends up with a successful business so he is now rich. As the show goes one you find out more as to why Ae Ra divorced him. The main reason why she left him was because she was pregnant, but she was working pretty much not stop so she ended up losing the baby. When she lost the baby that was the end for her, she couldn't take it anymore. She never told Jung Woo about the baby either, so he never knew the full reason as to why she left him.
This show really knows how to attack your emotions. I swear one moment your all happy and than the next moment you need a tissue. This show brought tears to my eyes so many times that I lost count. You could tell that even though Ae Ra and Jung Woo said that they hated each other, you could tell that they still really loved each other. They would both get so jealous. Sly and Single again may be a more serious show, but it still has its funny, light-hearted moments too. This show brings its own type of humor. I do have to say that I was happy to see L from infinite in this show. I loved L in My Loveable Girl. I still wish that L got the girl in that show, they were just a better fit. Putting that show aside, L was really good in this show.
He needs more acting roles, just saying. Sly and Single has been on my list of shows to watch for the longest time and I am glad that I finally watched it. As I was watching this show I was thinking that it wouldn't leave an empty feeling, I was wring about that. I was going to start re-watching Gosick today, but I just couldn't do it. It might take me a while till I can pick up another show. Sly and Single again had a really good ending to it. It had a good ending to it but I still want more. I want a second season! Give me season two!!!!! It's really funny how a lot of anime shows get two seasons, but it's rare for an anime to have three or more season unless it's really popular. Than you get to k-dramas and you only get one season and like no hope for a second one. I find it to be quite sad really. Does anyone else find it sad, or is it just me? I would really recommend this show if you need a good cry. I my opinion its not the best romance show I've watched, but it was still good.

Mekaku City Actors

This anime show is by far the most confusing show I have ever watched. I can normally figure things out as the show goes one, but I couldn't do that with Mekaku City Actors. The story was all over the place and everything happend in what seemed like a day. I think 12 episodes wasn't enough for the show. I should have been longer just so it could clear things up. Like the ending for example. That ending was not a good ending, not at all. If any thing that ending made me ten times more confused than I already was and to top it all off it was a read the manga ending. I'm not a big fan of Mekaku City actors, but for some odd reason I can't fully hate it. I liked it yet I hated it. I have a love-hate relationship with this show. It wouldn't be the first time I've felt this way about a show.
Mekaku City Actors is about these kids that can change their eye color to a bright, vibrent red. When their eye color changes that is when their true power shows. Every single one of them has a different power that has to deal with their eyes. I'll just leave off there because I don't know how to explain the rest of the story line. The story jumps around so much that I can't explain it with out spoilers, not like I do that. One thing I will mention is that once it gets to the ending you should either skip over it or listen to it, because they do a story about a monster and that helps explain some of the story. You if your like me were you just click done once it gets to the ending, you shouldn't do that with this show. It would be wise not to do that, just skip the ending if you have to. That little one, two minute story explains quit a bit.
The art style of this show was really cool, I liked it a lot. I found it be really unique and it might have been on of the few things about this show that kept me watching. I think it was the animation, the opening, and my curiosity. I also liked the characters, they were good characters, but I have seen better ones.
When I watched the first episode the thought that kept coming through my mind was, "What was this show about again?" I was confused from episode one, not a good sign. From that one episode it just went down hill from there and of course I can't say that I fully hated it. There were some good parts to the show, but I don't think it flowed the way that they intended it to. They gave each character an episode it seemed so that they could give you some background on them, but that some what fell flat.
The biggest issue I have with this show is the ending, like I said before it was the worst. Once the show finished I just stared at the screen confused. They left it off on such a bad way. Worst of all Ayano comes back to life, so your just like, "didn't you die?", to the screen. So she didn't die? She was a live the whole time? Mekaku City Actors really knows how to make you confused. It's been a week since I watched this and I'm stil confused. I think the only way to get unconfused is to read the manga. The only problem with that is that I didn't like the show enough to read it. Who knows though maybe I'll read it in the future when I get bored.
That's all I really got. If you like confusing anime shows, than this show is the show for you. :) One last thing Ene was my favorite character.

The Technicians

This is such a good movie! I don't even know where to begin. The movie is about three guys who are really good at stealing things. They are so good that I still don't fully know how they pulled off stealing 150 million won. The movie is about them coming up working for this one business man who wants them to steal all this money. The hacker of the group is bribed by the business man because he knows that the hacker is known for betraying his partners. That actually isn't true it's just a rumor, but everyone believes it to be true. In the movie they robbed a jewelry store and my heart was pounding because I didn't want them to get caught. The same goes for when they final started to break into the safe that held all the money they were going to steal.
I loved that at the end of movie you learn that everything that happened was all planed, so literally every thing went according to plan. Everything was so thought out and I'm sure it took months to plan out. I'm just surprised that none of them went to jail. The business man and everyone that worked for him went to jail I believe. I loved that The Technicians kept you guessing throughout the whole movie. The movie as a whole was heart pounding. I loved every second of it. I really have nothing bad to say about it.
The acting in this movie was really good. I watched Kim Woo Bin in Heirs so I saw one show that he was in. I have only seen him act in Heirs and in this movie. I might have to check out more of his shows. This movie does not disappoint at all. I watched this movie twice, mostly so I could figure out the ending, it was just as good the second time as it was the first time. I still don't know how they pulled off the biggest heist ever. It went by so fast that I didn't have time to process it. I got some of it, but I'm still so confused about the money. I got everything else just not about the money. I wish they explained that a little better. It might just be me, who knows. I'm sure a lot of people got how they got away with the money.
There were some things that I wish could have gotten explained a little better. For example Woo Bins character got revenge on the business man, the man that hired them, because he had someone kill someone very dear to him. I wish they explained that a little better. They could have gone a little more in detail on some stuff, but that might have also gone away from what the movie was centered around, the big money heist.
If you love to watch action/suspense movies than this movie is one that you should check out. it has great characters and a good storyline. It also has a really good song in the movie called can't stop me and it's quit good. If I had money in my iTunes account I would buy it. That's all for now, see ya. Peace! :)

K:missing Kings

I FINALLY WATCHE IT! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE WAITED TO WATCH THIS MOVIE?! I waited for like 8 months to watch this. I have been wanting to watch this movie since I finished the anime the first time. Yes, I have watched the anime more than once. I have watched it twice and I plan to buy it some time. Missing Kings picks up right were the anime left off, but it's a year later. Shiro is still missing and the gold king is with him. The green king is somewhat introduced in this movie. The reason I say somewhat is because he's a bird the entire movie. The bird is just his familiar though. Its not like the green king is an actual bird, that would be really weird even for an anime. The green clan did kidnap Anna so she could track down the sliver king, Shiro. I think they have plans of killing him. I'm to sure, but I'm sure that will all be explained in the second season this fall. I look forward to Ks second season. I thinks it's going to be just as good as the first one.
I like how the movie picked up were the anime left off. It had some action, but I felt that it didn't have as much as the show. The show did have 13 episodes and the movie was only like an hour and a half. I don't remember how long the movie was. I was a little disappointed in Missing Kings. I expected so much out of it. I guess you could say that since I was waiting to watch this for so long that the expectations grew and grew. I wanted it to be as good as the anime. I did feel like the fan service was upped a little. As much as I love K and all that it has to offer, I hate the fan service in it. This is coming from some that watched Fairy Tail and that show is full of it. It's just something about the fan service in this show that bugs me.
Missing Kings does stay true to what the anime was all about. I like how they showed what happened to the red clan after they lost their king who was killed by the blue king. I hated that you didn't get to see a lot of Yata. I really like Yata so I wanted to see more of him. I do like that we get to see a little more of Anna though. Anna is like a princess to the red clan. Once it got toward the end I had a feeling that Anna was going to be the next king. It makes me think that she might be the first female king, because all the kings in the show are all male.
I can't remember, but did the colorless king die or is he still alive? I feel like he might still be alive. The ending of the anime was just all over the place for me. The red king died, Shiro went up against the colorless king, it was a full blown battle between the blue clan and the red clan. So much happed in the last few episodes, not to mention that Shiro remember that he's the sliver king. These are major spoilers for both the anime and the movie.
Going back to Missing Kings now, I liked how the music that was used in the movie was also used in the anime. I liked that they reused some of the music for the movie. The music for this movie fits it so well. If you to put the music for this movie in another movie or show it wouldn't work because it's something that can only be in K. K is the only show that can pull of this type of music. I can't really described the music, I can't really but into words. The only thing I can say is that maybe it seems laid back maybe. I feel like it is very unique to an anime movie and to an anime show.
K is an amazing anime show and K:Missing Kings is a must watch anime movie, but only watch it after you watch K. If you just watch Missing Kings than you're going to get lost and confused. I love K a lot and I wouldn't be lying by saying that it's my third favorite anime show. I need money to buy it! I really want to buy it! If you plan on watching it just remember that there is fan service, but every anime has fan service in it. Also if you plan on watching the Ks second season like me, you should watch K:Missing Kings first, because the second season will pick up where the movie left off.
Till next time.

The Basketball which Kuroko plays

Kurokos basketball is the second sports anime I
have watched. This show was originally one my list that my friend gave me when I first started watching anime. At the time I thought that I wouldn't really like a sports anime. I thought that they wouldn't be that good. I was wrong and I will admit to that. The first sports anime I watched was a show based on volleyball. After watching that show I decide to give The Basketball which Kuroko plays a try. All I have to say is why did I watch this earlier?! I really should have watched it earlier.
Kurokos basketball is a show about basketball, it's about teamwork, friendship etc. A year before the anime takes place the Teiko middle school basketball team had 5 really strong players. Those 5 players were known as the Generation of Miracles. There is Akashi, Aomine, Murasakibara, Midorima, and Kise. They were known as the Generation of Miracles. There was actually another member that the prodigies acknowledged and that person was Kuroko. Kuroko is that main character of the show. As the show goes on you see how Seirin, the school that Kuroko went to, gets stronger. They lost against Aomine in the inter high, but they trained harder and came back for the winter cup. They trained so they could become the best in Japan and beat the Generation of Miracles. They had motivation from their loss against Aomine, who doubled their score. You see Seirin High go up against the Generation of Miracles and the games are never easy. They are always really close. All the members on the Seirin basketball team evolve with each game. That is especially true for Kagami. Kagami is one of the few players that can go up against a member of the Generation of Miracles. He might be the only normal player that can play against them and hold his own. If he didn't go back to Japan than the only people that could beat one of the prodigies would be another prodigy.
Every time that Seirin goes into a game they always seem to struggle in the beginning. They always manage to make it through the game through. It may be tough but they do it. When ever they play against one of the Generation of Miracles it's always so close. Kurokos basketball is a really good show about friendship and teamwork. You can't win a game without teamwork. This show also has a ton of anime logic. A lot of the stuff that happens in the games that they play can only be considered anime logic. For example Midorima, he can make 100% of his shots. He can make them as far back as the other end of the court. You can't make 100% of your shorts in really life, some people can't even make a half court shot and if you can make one you can't make one every time. Another example would be Kurokos misdirection. This might be possible in real life, but I really doubt it. The fact that he can make himself invisible is something. He evolves his misdirection to a vanishing drive and than he's able to score and make the ball "disappear". There are so many forms to his misdirection. Oh yeah there is also his Overflow. That's another story.
One thing that I thought was really unique was that the author of the manga gave each member of the Generation of Miracles a name that had a color in it. Akashi has aka in his name which means red. Aomine has ao in his name which means blue. Murasakibara has murasaki in his name which means purple. Midorima has midorii which means green. And last but not least Kise, Kise has yellow as part of his name, kirro. He only has the first two letters though. And finally we have the one and only Kuroko, kuro which means black is part of his name. I think its really cool to do something like that and not only did the author also matched their hair color to their name. Kuroko is the only exception to that though.
I am going to be a fan girl and say one thing. Why does Akashi have to look so hot in this picture?! If only he kept the long hair! The picture shows 5 along with Kuroko. I have only watched the first two seasons and I am currently watching the third season. I know that the third season is still airing and like the other two seasons I'm sure it will get 25 episodes. If I get a read the manga ending I am so going to read the manga. I would just have to find the chapter that the anime left off one. I hope I don't have to go through with that.

You are the best Lee Soon Shin review

You are the best was the first Korean drama I watched. I watched this show a year ago so I have been watching K-dramas for a full year now. Since I watched You are the best, I have watched like 35 other shows. That also includes movies. This is a 50 episode show and I watched it in like 2 weeks. This show is all about family and the struggles that everyone one of the characters go through.
Within the first episodes Lee Soon Shin(main character) and her family loss their dad. Soon Shins family ends up with no money. To make matter worse, Soon Shin was scouted to be an actress by this powerful CEO. It was later reveled that it was a fraud and all the money that they paid to the conman they were never going to see again. Soon Shin is the type of character that can't hold a job for very long and relays on her family. She doesn't want to relay on her family anymore than she has to, but she has no choice. Yoo Shin(the middle sister) hates Soon Shin. As I was watching this show I really couldn't stand Yoo Shin. The way that she treated her little sister really mad me mad. I really wanted to tell her that she was her sister and there was nothing she could do about it so she should suck it up and live with it. Hye Shin(oldest sister) really loved Soon Shin. She was a true sister to her. I think that Yoo Shin is the problem child of the whole family. She blames Soon Shin for their fathers death for like the entire show. Soon Shin had nothing to do with it at all. To me Yoo Shin was always trying to find a away to blame Soon Shin for something. It got old really fast.
In the mist of all the family drama Soon Shin actually meets up with the real CEO that the conman was impersonating and signs a contract with him. So from than on you see her struggles with trying to make it as an actress. Seeing Soon Shin blossom into this beautiful actress is really amazing. She really does have a talent for it. Spoiler: Soon Shin is not actually related to her family at all. Her dad took her in because her biological mother(Song Mi Ryung) didn't want her. There were some many times throughout the show that I wanted to kill Mi Ryung.
This show had me clenching my fits and it made me feel really tenses. I don't really know how to describe it. It was like when you watch a show that you like but every time you see characters that you hate and you see them doing what they know is wrong but they do it anyways. So you end up wanting to pull out your hair. I don't think that helped explain it at all. I think you get the idea. Since watching this show there has only been a couple shows that made me want to rip my hair out of my head. Some people would think I'm insane for liking shows that make me go through something like that. To me when you have dramas like You are the best Lee Soon Shin they are one the best. They get you involved in the show. Each episode gets better and better. Not all shows are like You are the best, thank God for that one. If all dramas were like this one I don't think I could handle it. I like dramas like this one, but I don't think I could watch show after show of hair pulling moments.
This show also has its really sweet moments too. They made me feel so happy. What I liked so much about this show is that it's about a family that goes through so many hardships. You see them grow stronger and they never really lose sense of themselves. I am really proud to say that You are the best Lee Soon Shin was my first ever k-drama. I don't think I would recommend this show it be your first kdrama if you are thinking about watching a drama. I would watch a lighter show like Modern Farmer or coffee prince. On a side note I am so excited that IU, who play Soon Shin, is making drama comeback in Producers. I can't for the show. She will be reunited with Kim Soo Hyun on the small screen! They were in Dream High together. Also does any one listen to the k-pop boy band BTS? They made their comeback last week with I need U and I can't stop listening to it along with their new mini album. I will now leave off with a lyric from I need U by BTS, caused I am obsessed with it.  
Jebal jom kkeojyeo huh
Mianhae (I hate u)
Saranghae (I hate u)
Yongseohae
I need you girl
Wae honja saranghago honjaseoman ibyeolhae
I need you girl
Wae dachil geol almyeonseo jakku niga piryohaeI’m sorry I hate u
 (I love you I hate u
Forgive me
I need you girl
Why am I in love alone, why am I hurting alone
I need you girl
Why do I keep needing you when I know I’ll get hurt?) in case you want English

Another review

This anime show was the very first one that I watched. Another was the show that got into anime. It wasn't the show that got me obsessed about it though. I became obsessed with anime months after I started watching it. The show that holds the title of getting obsessed with anime goes to none other than Bleach. I have my best friend to thank for getting me into this fandom.
Another is a lesser known show and I think it should be more popular than what it is. The show is about a cursed class, class 3-C. Here's the creepy background to the show. 26 years ago a boy named Misaki suddenly passed away. He was very popular. His classmates refused to believe that he was dead. So one day one of the students of 3-C said, "Misakis not dead, he's right there." The rest of the class went with it along with the teacher. When it came time for graduation they set a chair for Misaki and when they took their class picture Misaki was in the picture. From that year on class 3-C had an extra person. The extra person was dead, but they aren't aware that they are dead. What happens to this class is that every month someone will die. Someone that has relations to the class will die. Which means once it starts your aren't safe, your parents and siblings aren't safe either. Someone dies every month. It doesn't happen every year, but there is no real way to make it stop forever.
When I first watched this show I didn't find it all that scary, the same goes for the second time I watched it. I watched this show three times and the third time I watched it I was kind of scared. I don't know why, but the idea of a story like this is scary. This show is based on the novel I believe. There is also a manga based on the novel. I've read the manga and I really want to read the novel. When I read the manga was still terrified. I think it's the idea of having a cursed class and knowing that you could die some twisted, disgusting way. I will say this a lot of the deaths that happen in this show are censored. They are not pretty deaths. If there is one thing I learned from this show,from the three times I've watched it, is that you never run down stairs with an umbrella with a pointy end. I don't think I have to go into detail.
With this show it is important to try to have some light hearted moments. This show has some light hearted characters that help lighten up the show. It's really nice to have characters that make you laugh in shows like Another. Cause Another is a horror anime. I've watched my fair share of horror animes, like Mirai Nikki(future diary) and Shiki. There are some others in there but I'm not going to name them. Comparing this show to the other horror anime shows I think this one is the most terrifying. Mirai Nikki was just twisted and insane. That show mad me scared of Yuno. I swear if I ever meet a girl with pink hair named Yuno I will run away as fast as I can. If that doesn't work out I will try my best to not get on her bad side. It will all make sense if you watch that show.
Going back to Another I didn't like that they had a blood bath at the very end. I'm going to give away the ending, because besides it being a horror anime it is also a mystery type show. They keep you guessing who the extra person is until the very end. This show kept me interested till the very end. I am proud to say that this was my first anime show. This was also the show that got me a whole list of anime shows to watch curtsey of my best friend. Three years after getting into anime I only watched a couple shows off that list. After a while you find your own shows. Another is a show that I am for sure going to buy, because I love it some much and I've already watched it three times. I'm sure I will watch it a fourth, fifth, and a sixth time. There are so many anime shows I want to buy but I only have so much money. Not to mention I'm still trying to buy all the Pandora Hearts manga. If you love horror anime and you haven't watched Another yet, watch it. You won't regret it. One last thing, there's a rumor that the story is based on a true story. That is untrue, the story as a whole is a work of fiction. When I read that it was a true story I was scared out of my mind than I found out that it's not so I was all better. The idea of this story is freighting enough, I don't need it to be a real thing. One last thing that I want to say. Thank you to all of you guys that are reading my blog. It means a lot to me. I've been thinking about doing something like this for over a year it seems like, so it feels nice knowing that people are reading my blog. If you have any shows that you want me to review let me know in the comments. Peace.

Modern Farmer review


Modern Farmer is one of the funniest dramas I've ever watched. It gets a little serious for a few episodes and lose some of its funniness but not completely. The show is based on a Min Ki getting inheriting land and bribing his former band mates of the idea of growing cabbage to make an album. It's Min Ki's dream to make an album and after getting all this land he thinks why not sell it. He wouldn't get that much from selling it so He decided to grow cabbage instead. He thought it would be a quick buck and farming would be easy. He gathered all his band mates and off they went to start farming. The minute they  step foot in that farming town the comedy starts.
When I watched this show I swear there were times when my eyes started watering. I would be laughing so hard and it was mostly because of Min Ki. Hong Ki did a really good job of playing the character that is Min Ki. If anyone else played him it wouldn't be as funny. I normally watch romance type dramas with a lot of drama so this was a nice break. It was nice to be able to watch a show with less drama. It still had drama but not as much as the shows I normally watch. I was watching Boarding House No.24 as I was watching this show. they were both airing at the same time just on different days. Comedy wise Modern Farmer was a lot better. Boarding House was still funny. So if you liked Modern Farmer or plan on watching it you should also check out Boarding House. Ken from VIXX is in it! Going back to Modern Farmer. In this show you get to see all the fails that Min Ki and the bad go through trying to farm cabbage. Their fails are pretty awesome. They have to have help form everyone in the town. They know nothing about farming.
The town that this show is based in is Min Kis childhood home. He lived there for a while than he moved away to Seoul where he became a singer. What I loved the most was the last episode. In the end they raised enough money to make an album that bombed really badly. So in the last episode they go back to the very beginning. Min Ki gathers everyone once again to make an album. So in the end they learned nothing. This show is full of idiot characters that some how manage to make it through life. I am going to re-watch this show sometime in the near future. It might be a while because I want to focus on anime for a while. I've been watching to many dramas lately. I'm going to warp it up here cause I'm tired. BTW the main song for this show When love comes is an amazing song. I liked it some much that when ever it would play I would sing along to it. If you want a light show to watch with some good comedy you should check out this show. I can guaranty that you won't be disappointed at all.

Boys over Flowers review

Now for part two. WARNING this show causes you to punch pillows or maybe a wall, screaming and yelling, yelling at the actors of the show through a screen. This show causes a lot of things. Popcorn and this show are a good combination.  Boys Over Flowers is a show I have a love-hate relationship with. I love it yet I hate the decisons that Jan Di makes throughout the show. She makes me so mad sometimes. This is the third drama I watched when I started whatvhing them. I watched it in the summer and that was a good thing. I was up to like 4 a.m. everynight watching this show. Once I got to like 15 or 16 I was screaming at the top of my lungs yelling at Jan Di through the screen. I also yelled at Jun Pyo for the way he treated Jan Di. It made me really mad. This was the first show that made punch a pillow. This show had me come up with my saying Boys Over Flower moment. So now when I ever yell at the screen when I watch it's a Boys Over Flowers moment.
Don't think that for all these reasons that it would be a bad show and that I hated it. I just have a problem with the fact that Jan Di chose Jun Pyo over Ji Hu. This show is actully rather good. This show is about a girl named Jan Di who ends up getting a scholarship to a super elite rich kid school. She runs into trouble and ends up becoming enemys with the king of the school, Jun Pyo(played by Lee Min Ho), who also happens to be the leader of the F4. Jun Pyo likes to pick on Jan Di and Jan Di seeks comfort in another memeber of F4, Ji Hu. This show becomes a love triangle. In the end Jan Di has to choose between Jun Pyo or Ji Hu. Can you guess who she chose? If you're thinking the nice, sweet guy that helps her through hard times, Ji Hu. Well I hate to break it to you, but she did not choose him. Instead she chose Jun Pyo, who bullied her and caused her so much pain. I will never agree with her choice, NEVER!
It blows my mind that she would choose him over Ji Hu. If I were her I would have chose Ju Hi in a heartbeat. What I hated most about this show is that when you Jun Pyo went to Venice to learn the family business so he could it over one day. Jan Di went there to see him and convince him to come back, but when he saw her he acted like he didn't know her! He like even broke up with her! She went all the way over there it get dumped basically! I got so pissed that I punched a pillow and got out of my bed and made a bowl of popcorn at like 3:30 in the morning. I went through that popcorn in like 2 minutes. What pissed me off the most was that Ju Hi was there for Jan Di while she was suffering. He comforted her. Why she didn't pick the second male lead I have no idea. I mean Ju Hi even over cam his fear of cars for her! If that doesn't scream love I don't know what does.
This show is actually quit good. It is considered a kdrama classic. It is also one the most popular kdramas of like all time. I loved the story and I liked most of the characters. Some of them were big jerks, Jun Pyo. Sticking with characters, I felt that Woo Bin was more of a supporting character even though he was in the F4. I wished that he would have gotten more screen time and I wished that could've learned more about his past. It seemed that we learned about all the F4's pasts but his. That's kind of sad to me. In my mind the only reason why he was there was to be there to support Lee Jeong. As the show went on you saw less and less of Woo Bin. It was kind of disappointing to me.
To warp up Boys Over Flowers I would say that no matter what you should watch this show. It is worth watching. I'm even thinking about re-watching it sometime soon. Just because it makes you yell yet the top of your lungs doesn't mean it's bad. In fact that can mean it's really good. Shows that get you involved and make you feel emotions are good shows. So don't be afraid to watch it. You regret it, I guaranty it. Blood is also a good show to watch after this one, because you get to see Jan Di fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor.

Blood review

This will be one of two dramas this week. The second drama I will write about will be Boys over Flowers. Look forward to that one. Blood is a show that deals with vampires in a unique way. The people that are vampires have a virus called VBT-01. It makes you like a vampire. The only major difference is that only sunrises are really dangerous to them. So in this show Ji Sang starts to work at the cancer treatment hospital. I found it odd at first that a vampire would be a doctor that works in a hospital. Ji Sang takes pills to control his blood cravings. At like episode 5 they stop working. Ji Sang is also the first pure blooded infected(someone who has the virus). Both of his parents has the virus. Ji Sang is looking for a way to cure this virus, because he wants to be human. He wants to live a normal life. He works alongside his best friend and sidekick, Joo Hyun Woo. Hyun Woo was my favorite character in this whole show. He created Luuvy. Luuvy is a very amazing robot.
In this type of show we have to have a bad guy. We not only have one bad guy but we actually have another one. The first one would be the Director of the hospital, who is an infected. The second on is also an infected and he's also a doctor. This doctor is the head doctor of the new drug research team. Under the Directors orders he gives people the virus. The Director claims that he's using the virus to help cure cancer. With his vaccine there is a large chance of you becoming infected with the virus. As the show went on every time I saw the Director I said,"just die already! I don't like you!" I was screaming that. When it came to the evil doctor, I think I wanted him dead more than the Director.
This show is really amazing. It keeps in interested, and you get really into it. The action isn't all that good, but it is something. It keeps you guessing and at the end of every episode is a really annoying cliffhanger. I hate those things sometimes. It also has its fair share of sad moments, like the last 2 episodes. Ku Hye Sun who plays Ri Ta in this show is a doctor and her character in Boys Over Flowers wanted to be a doctor. So she filled her dream,m of becoming a doctor. The music for this show is really awesome. I want to download this soundtrack. I am waiting for it to come out. I need this OST.
Now we will start getting into the spoilers. Starting with the ending of episode 19. MY HYUN WOO DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a feeling that he might die after episode 17. I knew that the moment he died I would be done. The show wouldn't be the same and it wasn't. With out him it wasn't as good. My sidekick brought all the fun and adorableness to the show. He didn't do all of it himself but he was a little ball of light. His death wasn't necessary, he didn't have to die. He should've lived. In episode 20 when Luuvy came in and played a birthday message for Ji Sang it was really bitter-sweet. Honestly I didn't care what character died, as long as it wasn't Hyun Woo. FYI the evil doctor killed him over the files he had on the virus. I was so mad at that because Hyun Woo gave them the files but he still got killed. I was soooooo happy when the evil doctor died. It was about time for him to die! I was screaming out of happiness.
The last episode was really lacking. It might be because I was really numb from my sidekicks death. It didn't seem rushed it was just a really bad way of ending things. The Director did die towards the end, but he also lived his last few moments as a human. I wish that it was Ji Sang who turned into a human first, but no it had to be the Director. I don't know if that's because he was a human to begin with or what, I don't know. Than we have Ri Ta who ends up in a warehouse tied up. She went back to Boys Over Flowers with that. Before Hyun Woo died he discovered a possible cure. The only problem with that was that Ji Sang would have to give up his life. Ji Sang does give up his life and some how in the end comes back to life. He showed up in the last few minutes of the episode. I'm still confused about that. They wrapped the show up in a really bad way.
To warp it all up I will say a few more things. Ku Hye Sun did get some harsh criticism for her acting. I will say that she did a very good job. Her character was supposed to be that way and she shouldn't have to apologize for the way she acted in this show. For Ahn Jae Hyeon, who played Ji Sang, I felt he wasn't fully ready for a leading role. I think he should have waited a few more years till he played a leading role. He wasn't bad, but at times he came across as awkward. I really enjoyed this show up in till Hyun Woo died. It is still worth a watch though. I shall honor this post to the fictional character Joo Hyun Woo. You lived a good life.

My Love from Another Star review

If you are one that likes to binge watch dramas than you should check out this show. It was one of the most popular Korean dramas last year. It does not disappoint in any way. I have watched this show twice. The first time may have better only because I watched it in october and than I watched it again in December, so I remembered everything that happened.
This show is about a popular actress named Cheon Song Yi, who is full of her self. She's not that smart, you should never have her do twitter or any kind of social network. It's just a bad idea. Her carrer goes down hill after her arch enemy dies. The press thinks that Song Yi was responsible for her death because they never got along. They thought that Song Yi was bullying her so she decided to take her own life. Song Yis enemy did not take her own life, she was actually murdered. Then some other stuff happens. As she struggles with her career she gets closer to Do Min Joon, who happens to be an alien and who lived next door. I'm not going to give a full summary of what happens in the show, because than I would ruine everything. I have to keep somethings a secret.
The reason I fell in love with this show is not just because of the acting but also because Song Yi was really funny at times and other reasons. Kim Soo Hyun (Do Min Joon) and Jeon Ji Hyun (Cheon Song Yi) have such great chemistry in this show. They were the right actors for this show. I loved how Jeon Ji Hyun played the corky character that is Song Yi and how Kim Soo Hyun played the calm, collected character that is Do Min Joon. The acting was really great. I even made a new enemy on the show. I hated his guts, he deserved to go to jail. If I tell you who he is I would ruin all the fun.
The story to this show was something. I didn't think a love story with an alien would work out so well. I was proven wrong, like I normally am. They had so many things going on with the other characters not just the main ones. I felt like this show kind of let some of the minor characters shine on their own for a while. It was nice to see that. Also it wasn't just Song Yi that was wacky and weird, her mom and little brother were also that way. Her brother and Do Min Joon had a little bromance going on. It was kind of funny. He asked to do the E.T. thing with him. Song Yis brother was watched E.T. one to many times. Example of what I'm talking about is on the left. He is a weird brother, but he's also really protective of Song Yi.
There is so much to tell about this show. From the "Did I get rejected by chicken?" moment to the sweet moments Song Yi and Do Min Joon spent time together. There was still so much drama, but not as much as some other dramas I've watched. I my eyes watered quite a bit towards the end of the show. The last episode really emotional in a good way and in a bad way, I guess. You even see the characters develop to the point were you don't want the show to ever end. I did like the ending, but I really want a second season! I don't think that's ever going to happen, cause it's extremely rare for a kdrama to get another season. Its not like anime were there's a 50/50 shot of it getting a second season.
The music for this was really, really good. I love listening to this OST. It is my favorite drama soundtrack so far. The songs really fit it very well and it even has a song that fits the personality of Song Yi. She even has her own song! I like to listening to this OST a lot. I really the songs Destiny, goodbye, every moment of you (piano version) and past love. The songs have emotion behind them and when you listen to it as you watch the show you can hear it. Even if you're just listening to it just to listen to it. That's way it's my favorite.
When I watched My Love from Another Star the first time I was left with a void in my heart for a few days. I really loved this show, I would watch it again for a third time in a heartbeat. If you haven't watched this show yet you need to do that. This show is worth the watch and it's not a waste of your time. If you're looking for a good romance to watch with some tears, hating characters, than this is a good show to watch. Its not overly emotional like a lot of dramas are, its just the right amount. That about does it for My Love from Another Star. Peace. That's a Yo Na reference if you didn't already know. Big Kill me Heal me fan.

Sword Art Online review

I'm sure that if you watch anime then you've heard of Sword Art Online. I'm sure would have heard people say that the show sucks, it's a waste of your time, the story is bad, etc. Having watched the show twice and having been reading the light novels as they get in published in English, it's not that bad of a show. For those of you that don't know what SAO is about, well I'll tell you. It takes place in the year 2022 when the first VRMMORPG along with nerve gear comes out. The main character Kirito was a beta tester for the game Sword Art Online(SAO) and was one the first people to get the game. Once you logged on there was no going back. Once you were in the game you couldn't log out. "This may be a game but it's not something you play" - Kirito. Over like 100,000 players were trapped in the game. Cause if you died in the game you died in real life. If someone tried to remove your nerve gear than the nerve gear would fry your brain. The only way to escape was to beat all 100 floors and not die. That about sums it up.
I first watched a couple episodes of this show dubbed on toonami and than I watched the whole thing subbed. The sub is way better just saying. This show gets really bad reviews because they either haven't read the light novels or they look at the second half as if the first half never happened. I don't like the second half as much but it does help the story out. Yes this show is kind of like a harem and the first couple episodes are filler, but without them the show could have been a lot worse. The first light novel takes place on floor 74 and you don't know what happened on the lower floors. In the second light novel it has the stories that the filler episodes are based off of. Than there's SAO Progressive which focuses on the first floor I believe. I haven't read those novels yet.
The first half of the show is very powerful. There's a lot of action and some romance because it's an anime. I really loved the idea behind SAO and I loved the game. If that game came out in real life I would actually play it. I just don't want to get trapped in a game for two years. When I first watched SAO and I got to the second half I hated it. I didn't really like ALO(Alfheim Online). I also hated the fairy king. The last time I hated a character with a burning passion was when I watched Bleach. (Oh how I loathed Aizen!) Yes, Asuna had to have Kirito come and save her, but that wasn't her fault. She tried to escape but that failed and she couldn't leave her bird cage because of something to do with the bar. It all makes sense if you read volumes 3-4. Asuna never really got a lot of time as a character. We didn't get a lot of her background information as we did with Kirito.
What I like is that the second season foucses on Asuna a little more. We get to see more of her character. In the second season we also have the game Gun Gale Online(GGO). I really loved that game too. I wouldn't play it but it was really interesting. We also were introduced to Sinon and we get to see as she over comes her problems in the real world through the game. You can tell that as the series goes on the author is getting better at development.
I could go one and on about SAO and way I like it and what I didn't like so much but I am not going to. If you do watch this show just keep in mind that the light novels are much better and that the second season might be better than the first. Keep an open mind when you watch this show, you should also read the books too, you might think of the show in a different light after reading them. SAO does have flaws but as it goes on it does get better. There are a lot of female characters, but that's something you have to live with.  Now stare at this adorable picture of Yui. You can not say that she doesn't melt your heart.
