очень трогательное аниме Т.Т
История ведется, как я сначала подумала, о судьбе, но позже я поняла, что идея была в том, чтобы раскрыть проблему влияния систем на человеческую жизнь на примере вымышленной системы Ветви Двойника. Это очень важная проблема, так как мы все без исключения подчиняемся многим системам одновременно, и я рада, что автор акцентирует на этом внимание. Сюжет ведется через экшен, но всё передается логично, без примитива и без перенасыщения схватками.
Рисовка очень приятная, больше всего мне понравилась 21 серия и прорисовка боев в ней.
Песни, сопровождающие сюжет, интересные, были на английском и японском языках, отлично сопровождают главное действие.
Характеры всех персонажей продуманы и имеют разнообразие оттенков, как в реальной жизни, можно следить за двойственностью поступков персонажей, узнавая позже причину этих поступков.
Получила при просмотре множество положительных эмоций, смотрится легко.
Рекомендую и парням, и девушкам._~

A group of young people are shocked to find themselves in an empty room and are soon forced to play a game known as 'rabbit doubt'. They have to figure out who among them is the lying 'wolf' out of the innocent 'rabbits'. Otherwise they will all, including the 'rabbits', be killed.

Let's just say that the actual plot and characters didn't live up to the expectations I had considering the eye-catching cover design and equally intriguing premise.

I finished all 20 chapters in less than an hour so this likely won't be an annoyingly long read for most people. Unfortunately, that means that there isn't a whole lot of dialogue. I guess this lack of depth can be attributed to the fact that this is a horror story which isn't so much character driven as it is about solving the mystery. To give you an idea of what the characters are like, I'd say they were similar to how teens are often portrayed in Hollywood slashers. One of the better slashers though with less irritating/moronic characters.

The art is good. But then again I haven't read a whole lot of manga and I can appreciate anything with better/less sloppy artwork than Lament of the Lamb. The art was probably the best thing about this, along with the premise.

There are some very creepy moments in this manga. Especially if you're reading it at night by yourself. And if you have pet rabbits. Personally, I think this manga would have been better if it was about rabbit suicide. Don't worry because I'm not crazy. If you've read the manga then I'm sure you'd agree that it would have been so much cooler than how it actually turned out.

I felt it was a waste mostly because the ending was very poor. The reasoning that is given after having read 20 chapters was pure cliche(it was unpredictable though, I'll given them that). I'm not the type to get pissed off after reading something inoffensive, but this was a pretty big waste of an hour I could have better spent being unconscious.

Anyway, I have seen and read a good amount of horror stories so maybe that is why I didn't love this while most other people did.

I'm relieved that rabbits don't actually have red eyes though. That would be pretty creepy.

I highly recommend you watch this movie its very good for me haha it shows the capabilities and powers of Mew and the legend of Lucario

This is very different from other love-comedy animes. Its actually very deep and has a lot of symbolism in it. It teaches you a lot of things about your own life and the lives of others. Plus, the scenes are really really cute and you are NEVER bored. I was particularly surprised with how GREAT the art quality is! The characters are also very different and lovable. You know that 'other girl' that distracts the guy a bit from the relationship between him and another which you KNOW is meant to be? yeah, we usually hate that other girl but I don't think you'll find ANYONE who did not like her in this anime. Like I said, ALL the characters are likable and watching it was a great experience. This is a must-must-must-must-must-must watch anime. believe me. read more

Memories Magnetic Rose is about a lone astronaut, who finds himself in an astro-relic.

Whats unique about this piece is how many levels of mystery it contains, the and nostalgia it employs, while being essentially a sci-fi piece. The movie does well to captivate its audience similarly to live action classics like 2001, using the space itself as a theme as well as further developing the theme of imperfect technology, by exploring the idea of the mortality/obsolescence of technology.

This is a RIVETING and PROVOCATIVE piece. A must see for anyone who calls themselves a love of sci-fi, and a necessary primer for all cyber-punk appreciators and aficionados . read more

I enjoyed this manga very much. Usually I don't read manga, but this one can open eyes when you flip the pages. You feel like you need to read more to find out what happens next. You can hope this and get that result or better. There were never any real dissapointments, just deja vus like I've read this before. After you say that the author makes an interesting twist to make you feel intrigued to keep on reading it.
The story line was very good, but I've seen this kind of story in other areas. The author makes the story interesting by adding twists. When you expect little you get more most of the times. The art was well drawn. Sometimes it could have been more detailed, I guess and sometimes it changes like someone else drew the hair etc. and the author drew that. Characters seem to come to life especially the girl doing hilarious stunts. These character's all have different personalities making you like not only one or none, but 2 or more! Everything was great and the story really had a lot of deep meaning thoughts/themes! In the end everything is what you will want, I guess.
Sorry for those who are reading, this is my very first time writing a review and my english is kinda not so good... :) read more

While browsing through an anime mag I noticed a little article on the manga of Ray, and I found the synopsis interesting. When I discovered there was anime, I was also pleased, and (being unable to find manga) I watched it.

--Story: 3--
Sadly the anime resembles a boring soap opera with an anime twist. Though I did watch the entire series, I was not very impressed. No plot twist was unexpected, and none of the scenes/scenario's really stuck out as interesting, apart from one aspect: Ray's past. This was what drew me to the series in the first place, but unfortunately it doesn't play a very interesting role, which is mainly due to the fact that everything from that point on was easily predicted and had little impact.

--Art: 5--
The style is quite nice, though not spectacular. And the animation is fairly standard, or even a little below.

--Sound: 5--
Again, nothing really stuck out, but it did the job.

--Character: 3--
Excluding minor appearances from Black Jack, the series was filled with pretty dull characters. Their designs were nothing special either - though that can arguably be a good thing. I did like Ray's design though. But apart from that I didn't really sense all that much development, and could not relate to any of them.

--Enjoyment: 4--
Though there wasn't much special in my view about this anime, I still enjoyed it a little. Only a little though. As explained earlier, Ray's strange past was the only part that interested me, the rest was a disappointment. read more

it was the stupidest anime in the world. if you want to sit through 26 episodes of crap....this is perfect. i mean what the hell happened at the end. i hate that they wasted 26 episodes on this shit and not on something that's more worth it...like blade of the immortal.

First: Sorry for my moderate English, I'm not a native speaker ;-)

Short subjective evaluation and interpretation of "Ef - A Tale of Melodies"

As the recipient, you find yourself in a complex story building made of a huge network of relationships in which every single detail is elaborated in a way of perfection I've only seen in Clannad - that is "Ef - A Tale of Melodies". The story revolves around two main protagonists, Kuze and Yuu, who already appeared in the prequel "Ef - A Tale of Memories" and set the fundament to the really great experience of the second season.

Story: 9/10

The story is not far away from being a masterpiece in my opinion. It was a lot times better than the story of the prequel "Ef - A Tale of Memories" due to the mysteric way of presenting real circumstances in everyday's life. A person who is condemned to die early and his desperate struggle to find a 'conclusion' for his life in order to experience a kind of fulfillment; and another person who has to reflect on his actions he made out of desperation and fear, which finally led to something even worse.. that is the kind of story I would definitely call a true drama. From the beginning up until the end there's no time to release one's mind. Just like in the prequel the recipient get bombed with extremely well reasoned dialogues, creating a thick and heavy atmosphere and encourage the viewer to reflect on the behavior and actions of the protagonists.
The ending was pretty good as well, but it might have been a bit more realistic if it turned out sadder. I don't want to spoil at this point.

The only thing that prevents me from giving 10 points to the story is just about the dialogues (especially those about the love scenes), which at some parts should have been less intense in my opinion (for instance the part with Mizuki on the roof answering Kuze's questions).

Art: 9/10

This anime is indeed a really great work of art. With some simple means it creates a terrific atmosphere which is absolutely necessary for this kind of story. The drawing is well-done, the animation authentic (especially the wind flowing through the hair and partially the movements), and the character design also really good. But the fact that makes this anime to something very special regarding the arts is the style of blending the images, using many different colors and shapes, implementing words and sentences from romanian languages and telling a parallel story besides the animation's story by using just these technical means. At this point it's pretty sad that some of those screens fade too fast so that the viewer has to pause the video in order to read what's written on the screen (and especially to think about the relation to the story).

Sound 8/10

As it can be assumed when looking at the title, in "Ef - A Tale of Melodies" the sound/music plays a very important role. In my subjective interpretation, those "Melodies" are first based only on music, later the whole story building (including the end) gives this "Tale of Melodies" a new meaning, some kind of "life melody" with images as well as music. But this doesn't concern at this point.

The melancholic music of this anime, primarily composed by Tenmon is perfectly fitting into the story and underlines the atmosphere created by the plot. The fact that Kuze is musician and plays his violine makes me feel of the music as a firmly integrated part within the story - and that makes it even more fitting.

The opening is not one of my favorites, but that's not important at all. The ending music changes from episode to episode making the anime appear more dynamic. Something I've rarely seen before.

Character 9/10

Well, what do I have to say? The protagonists both totally convinced me in their train of thought, in their actions and behavior - you can mean that the author himself experienced these cruel situations - and especially in their appearance. Kuze and Yuu are two very different human beings, both struggeling.. Yuu with his dreadful past, Kuze with his fearsome future. Both try to find a way out of desperation, but they have to learn that it's not possible to solve one's problems that easily. While Kuze slowly abandons everything around him, Yuu seems absent from the world itself unless he meets Yuuko. Remember, those two storylines take place in different times - Yuu's story in the past, Kuze's story in the present of the prequel "Ef - A Tale of Memories".

The development of those two characters influenced by feelings from other people and its outcome of finding strength and courage is the thing that makes me consider this anime as something 'real'.
"Miracles don't exist in this world. There are only coincidences, inevitabilities, and actions that people take. I'll just have to make this miracle into an inevitability."
Well, it's not something new at all, but it's just perfectly shown in this anime.

The side characters also play a very good role and round the whole thing up.

Enjoyment 9/10

I enjoyed this series from the very beginning to the end. There's no boring dialogue, some funny scenes, a lot of tearful scenes, fitting music, authentic characters, an original style, romance, slice of life, changing timelines and plots.. the composition of those things absolutely fulfilled my requirements of enjoying an anime, contrary to the prequel "Ef - A Tale of Memories" which was too far away from reality and was kind of boring at the beginning (due to the fact that the viewer feels lost in such a dark atmosphere with no characters to stick to). I know, most people prefer the first part, but when it comes to my view of things, I prefer those animes which contain more valuable information about the real life, like for instance "how does someone behave if he knew he would die soon". Well, it's a subjective thing..

Overall 10/10

..due to the epicness I longed for a certain time now. The package of all those aspects make this anime an incredible experience. Its fancy style of presenting the story is the most interesting I've seen so far. The feelings don't reach those I had when I saw Clannad but the atmosphere in "Ef - A Tale of Melodies" compensates for this. Truly an amazing work.

Btw. if you have any recommendations regarding my English I would gladly appreciate your help, just write me a message with my mistakes or something XD read more

If you enjoyed the visuals and sound design of Appleseed and Appleseed Saga Ex Machina, then you will enjoy Vexille. Indeed TBS has stolen alot from the Sega produced Shirow classic.

Alot of the mechanical design and environment design is clearly a Shirow knock-off, but it is executed fairly well. I did appreciate the thought put into the explanation behind alot of the technology represented in the movie, since technology is rather central to the plot.

But the plot was exactly the problem in this movie. Specifically around character development and motive. While the outside story resembles a crossbred of Appleseed and I-Robot and does a fairly good job of suspending disbelief, until time constraints forces open various cliches plot-holes; the inside story is what literally tanks the movie. Perhaps if the writer made Vexille and Leon's relationship more as a mystery, or one that was more ambiguous...

Oh well...the soundtrack by Paul Oakenfold, with a brief bump by M.I.A. saves the movie from time to time, along with the standard post-Matrix cinematography. Worth watching if you're starving for some cyber-punk dystopia. read more

I think I was much too young when I first watched Samurai Champloo on Adult Swim. Now that I have had a chance to grab the new DVD thinpak, I was able to rewatch and properly asses this show. Most importantly, I really would like to see this Manglobe studio get out there more. Ergo Proxy, Champloo, Bebop and all their other series have a very unique journey feel about them. They make some of the best stuff out there artistically too, so more series in the future would be a godsend.

Story; 9. It's episodical. And it's on and off, although only three or four episodes got on my nerves. The individual stories were all very cool, and enhanced by the insane and creative cast. The artistry here, you will find, is so off the hook. This series is really in a leauge of it's own even among the other Manglobe works, because the artistic flare here is much, much more over the top. In a very good way. The stories all had next feels about them, from gangland to drama, and even a very stylistic zombie episode. As expected, the philosophical value is present but also welcome in it's subtle presentation. It took a sure backseat to the fun, which I was very okay with.

Art; 10. This is the second best part of Samurai Champloo. This is the most unique, artistic anime I've ever seen. It's great, the urban theme is prevelant in large part to the lanky, streamlined drawings that moved so strangley between fluently and erraticly; it's the coolest thing you'll ever see. Colorful, creative goons abound; this series boasts a carnival of cool characters, from a Brooklyn accented baseball ninja to a double agent geisha; and i'll never forget the marijuana farming battle monks. The main cast is great too, but they wouldn't have been as great without such great side roles. Jin is my personal favorite.

Sound; 10. Anime music sucks, and there's no argument against this. It's bad; Samurai Champloo's soundtrack is something I listen to all the time. I would love this soundtrack without the show. It's a work between Nujabes, FORCE OF NATURE, and Fat Joe, as well as cameos by many rappers and MC's like Shing02; suffice to say, if you are a hip-hop and turntablism head like I am you will love this soundtrack so much. The mixing is great, the OP and ED are both awesome. Every track is a crazy soundscape, and art aside the soundtrack mixes classic japanese folk with hip hop seamlessly in a way it's a sin not to hear. Phenomenal, easily the best anime soundtrack ever.

Character; 9. Jin is a silent, reserved badass. Mugen is off the walls, with a unique combat style rooted in fairly creative breakdancing, and Fuu is the classic helpless teenage samurai girl. They are all also a satirical representation of samurai action cliches, and they are presented in this way flawlessly. I'll save details, but these three are really great characters individually and together.

Enjoyment/Overall; 9. This show is artistically unchained, musically perfect, and paced quite well. The characters are inventive beyond compare, and that journey feeling is really exclusive to this studio. I felt it more in Ergo Proxy, but this (especially with it's killer final scene) had a really really soothing, down to earth reality about it that you should experience just as much. Champloo is a great show, especially when your old enough to care. Don't pass it up. read more

Well i'll try to explain this as good as i can

Story: The story was good but not like the series there was still a few gaps in the i thought that should have been filled but no matter you will not take your eyes of the movie

Art: The art was AMAZING i couldn't compare any series art to this one well accept endless waltz but other than that, I think they deserve an Oscar Award for this Seriously.

Sound: Sound was phenomenal music was great like seriously i could compare it to wolf's rain but honestly I would bump the OST in my car

Character: The way they did the characters in this was really different from the series. sorry i won't give any spoilers but they'll keep you glued to your seat no doubt.

Enjoyment: as you can see to me that movie was effin awesome dude you should watch

Overall: I enjoyed i hope you enjoy it and write a review also dude im gonna freakin watch that movie again. read more

“Power to achieve something”

The Story…

It revolves on a system that we called “Doppeliner System”. The story tells about the involvement of the three main characters, which is Kuro, Keita, and Akane. They are somewhat confused on this system and willing to find out the real main reason why this system exists, making it as an obligation as they put their life in danger or helping others to find out the cure to its existence.

The point of view here is not the twist of the story rather the main attraction here will be the action / super power scenes. It gives excitement and thrill but on the other hand there are some minor / major problems that you may notice in it within the show. Though the twist of the story adds effects for the whole series, it’s quite ineffective in such a way that it consists of somewhat boring conversations, bad combination of action and romance, and bad flow of the events throughout the story.

This might be the uniqueness of it from the other anime. It comes up with a different representation of martial arts with super power. It is also the main reason why it’s been quite exciting to watch the series, nothing less and nothing more.

Art & Animation…

Well it might be obvious what the series will give. It emphasizes fighting scenes, stunts, and signature blows and it also gives different camera angles to be shown on every move. The art is quite normal and they didn’t make it a grand, a simple and fitted for the series.

Sound…

The sound suited well to this action series. OP song that has fast beat music and gives a thrilling excitement. ED song that gives a soothing and melodic music that points a change of view to the series. BG music/sounds adds a great effect through the fighting, emotional and funny scenes.

Characters…

Irritating, balanced and appealing. This is what the characters do in the anime, they give such appealing formation or stance, but in the other part they also give an irritating and disappointing effects throughout the show. So in the end it gives just a balanced mood on the entire series that never changes up to the end. It’s quite disappointing in my part.

Enjoyment…

The enjoyment will define as “animation vs monologue”, “story vs characters”. In this cases you may find out in the series that either of the definition will have a contrast to each other, so when it happened it would turn out to be a problem as you continue on watching it. It has a high-low features that will sometimes give you annoyance or enjoyment.

Overall…

Even though it has an ups feature on the series, it also have a down feature that pulls the excitement out of it. A balanced mood will show up throughout the series that will sometimes put you on thinking to quit on watching. read more

I'm not quite sure what I expected from this series when I decided to watch it. I knew it wouldn't be amazing but I was curious. It couldn't be that bad right?

Story: There is a plot. It's not very developed and rarely talked about but it's there. The main character named Hiro dies in the first episode by pushing Hime out of danger and getting crushed by pipes. He is then resurrected via Hime granting him half-immortality. He has to constantly refuel his life by taking in this flame that Hime makes. So he basically works for her as a servant since without the flame he'll die in a certain amount of time. Hime is the daughter of the king of monsters and the king has x amount of children who are all fighting for the throne except Hime because she doesn't care. The problem is that the number of siblings is never revealed and you only see maybe 3 of them besides Hime. The creator could've at least told us how many there were. The manga is far from finished so there could be more seasons. Unfortunately, it doesn't really go anywhere. Each episode basically revolves around a hired assassin trying to take Hime's life, then she defeats them somehow. Only a few episodes have the other siblings show up or some other recurring villain.

Art: I'd like to give it a higher score because at times it looks really well-done. However, if you pay more attention, the animation isn't that great. They have some way of cheating where it looks good. Can't describe it but you'd notice if you checked this show out. Also, there's fighting but you don't see much motion. Like you'll see a character swing a sword but the next frame shows the sword already hitting the opponent. That's kind of a sloppy way to do fight scenes.

Sound: I really like the songs for the opening and ending of the show. I'm not a fan of Ali Project but I thought the ending song they did here was pretty good. As for the background track, it's nothing really special. I can't remember any songs that stood out or sounded really good. The voices weren't terrible to listen to. Reiri's voice took some getting used to. At first I didn't think the voice fit her character. It was a good voice but it took me a few episodes to like it alongside her character. Kawasumi Ayako does a fine job with the poker face-type character of Hime. She voiced Saber after all so it works.

Character: Sigh...

Hiro - One of, if not the worst main characters I have seen from an anime that I watched more than a few episodes of. He's supposed to be one of these carbon copy male characters who have good qualities and is supposed to be an all around nice guy roped into a dumb situation. Okay, that's fine since we've all gotten used to it but I'm tired of him being useless in this series. He doesn't do anything comedic and for a show with fighting, he isn't much of a help there either. He'll either pick up a random household object and swing it around or take hits for Hime. I'm tired of talking about him, moving on...

Hime - She's kind of an interesting character, probably the best one in this show. She acts indifferent towards everything but she's also sympathetic and kind though you could never tell from her face. What I don't like is her confidence while fighting. Every time she fights, she acts like she has everything under control but it's annoying because she doesn't seem any more powerful than Hiro. Despite being the daughter of the king of monsters she displays no powers other than being able to give others half-immortality. She does seem to be pretty good with a sword I guess. You usually see her run around with some random weapon like a mace, a chainsaw, a baseball bat. It's a wonder how she's lived through this war for the throne but the plot requires her to survive so there you go.

Riza - I really didn't care much for this character. She was there for fanservice and kind of protecting Hiro and Hime. She doesn't even seem all that good at fighting. Overall she was boring to watch unless she was interacting with Reiri.

Reiri - Um... I liked her voice? I wish she would've done more in the series other than run away. She rarely fights despite being a powerful character (According to the manga anyway) and when she uses wooden stakes as kunai, the animators used that lame technique where you see her throw it and the next frame shows the enemy with the stake already in him. Yeah, the show could've used her more. I liked her more than Riza.

The rest - Hiro has a big-breasted sister that also works for Hime who is pretty stupid and clueless about everything. Hime likes the tea and food she makes though... Then there's Flandre the android who belongs to Hime. All she does is say "Huga" and use super strength to fight. The "Huga" wasn't that irritating until more androids showed up and they all said it. Forget the other characters, I don't really care. Although I will mention the hospital director for being super annoying. Worst character in the show and I hate when he appears. He has this obnoxious voice and he's so creepy. Ugh... The opponent in episode 8 I really wish I could erase from my mind as well.

Enjoyment - To be honest, I didn't watch all the episodes in order. After sitting through maybe 8 of them I looked up summaries and watched the interesting ones first or whichever ones seemed plot-related. Then I went back to check out the ones I didn't care as much about. Episode 7 was terrible and 8 was beyond creepy. Really disliked seeing those.

The anime is very different from the manga. A lot of blood is cut out and the stories were altered for content. I can understand why on some of the things. Like Hiro's foot getting cut clean off, Reiri's leg torn off and something I don't want to talk about since it's a spoiler in the manga.

This show definitely had potential to be a harem-ish comedy. To be honest, I would've liked it if they took some notes from... Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. That's right, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. In that manga, they're always throwing each other in front of attacks then blood gushes out of Jelly Jiggler of all things. Ridiculous but instead of the stupid deaths Hiro goes through, I'd rather have someone pitch Hiro in front of attacks in that style several times, then follow up with him falling on the ground with spiral eyes. He's immortal so they could've done so much stupid stuff with him that might've gotten laughs out of the viewers.

Final thoughts, I didn't hate Princess Resurrection. It was pretty tolerable. With anime that are new to me that turn out underwhelming, I can safely say that I have seen worse. Is this show for you? Well, the ending isn't great. They slapped a terrible non-canon scene at the end which was a pain to watch because it was just stupid. You'll surely be disappointed at the ending. The characters are a hit or miss. Some people find them bland and boring, some find them acceptable and okay. Anyway, if you get the premise of the "plot" go look up episode summaries and watch the cool ones. That's what I recommend. Watch the rest if you're bored.

How was this review? Let me know by leaving a comment be it helpful or not helpful to you. read more

I think some of the reviewers missed the point of this anime.

It's not trying to be thoughtful and original. It's not trying to be a masterpiece.

Rather, it's a typical samurai-looking-to-avenge-his-father story, the only difference being that here our protagonist is black, and enjoys an icy glass of lemonade. The series does manage to succeed with its characters; while they're mostly cliches, they're also humorous and light-hearted enough that one enjoys their presence.

But ultimately, this series is all about the action.

And in that capacity, this anime succeeds; the fights between Afro and his enemies are visually stunning and well-choreographed. The movements are original, the enemies are bizarre and detailed, and motion feels very fluid.

As with "Snakes on a Plane", the title tells you all that you need to know; "Afro Samurai" is a fun, entertaining series, which is all it ever strove to be. read more

The anime seems that it has not yet been completed because of the ending was not very good for me haha i want to see more! :))

Wew! its sooo hard to find the latest episodes of Naruto haha i have to go many different places just to find one because duh! im not in japan haha ^_^

• 666 Satan is a dramatic shounen manga filled with lots of action and comedy too. What I like about this manga is that the theme is "The Devil" Hence "666" and "Satan". The story is about a young lad who franky speaking, has the devil inside him and his partner he meets the young explorer girl. The theme is O.P.T which in general are part technitions and there are rare ones and unique ones but for any story, there is misue of these parts. More characters are introduced but you'll find out about them, don't want to spoil anything.

The art work in this is fanastic, I must credit the artwork/author for what he has done and the way he presented the characters to me. The characters are unique and each one has a different likeable aspect about them. I mainly like the main character, Jio, who plans is to take over the world. He's just filled with comedy but when it comes down to business, he means it.

I really enjoyed reading this manga and would recommend it to virtually anyone, whether they range from shoujo readers to seinen readers. Overall this is a pretty top notch manga in which deserves my very thanks and a score of 9. read more

• The author of Gintama does a one shot? Yes, and he does a very impressive one at that. What's more is that fans who have read and love gintama will notice the similarities straight away with the humor and style. The plot is really great and the characters designs are excellent.

A story about a guy and a girl who had abit of trouble with each other and the girl ends up moving away. Then suddenly she comes back but only to be a skilled assassin. All I can assure you is instant laughter and it'll keep you wanting to read more and more. It was quite a shame it was a one shot though because I could see it going on for more than that.

Not really much else to say since it's a very short yet awesome one shot. Anyone who's reading this right now I tell you now, you should go and read it straight away. I guarantee most of you will like it. A score of 8 from me. read more

Really it the anime vertion of the movie 'the nightmare befor christmas'.

I found it to be enjoyable to read eventhough I've see the movie many a times. I would recomend it to a Tim Burton and/or like the movie, you should read it.

If you don't know the movie, then this is a wonderfull manga to read. Creative, origanal, and fun characters. Seeing holloween and christman to gether my be a mess, but it makes a good story.
