Anime Relations: Detroit Metal City

1) Angel Densetsu
2) Detroit metal city (Lot of f-words and A-rated jokes)
3) Disastrous life of saiki kusuo
4) Hinamatsuri (Manga only not anime)
5) Golden Boy (again A-rated jokes)
6) Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou (Very geniously written jokes )
) School Rumble ( starting maybe little weird but as the anime progresses so does hilariousness)
8) Seto no Hanayome ( based on your likes on konosuba, this one would suit you more as it has all shouting just like it)

Finally Gintama which I wouldn't recommend as you wouldn't connect with its jokes quickly but as characters are developed so does hilarious jokes come at you.

Anime Relations: Kenpuu Denki Berserk

I personally hated berserk 1st, especially Guts (MC), his face and hairstyle is disgusting. Many times I tried to read manga but dropped after read 1 or 2 pages. I also tried watching anime Berserk (1997) and dropped after 2 episodes, after seeing the scene of Casca lies with MC as he is injured.

But I started watching it again after many months later and damn it was worth watching. I mean the anime is better than the manga. What I liked the most was, it didn't have any supernatural elements except for few episodes. The story was really epic, it was simple straight forward without much twists, but what intrigued was the "Art of storytelling". And man-o-man, that ending!!! I've never seen anything so messed up before, I was confused if I was watching anime or hentai.

And after reading the forums, I started reading manga from beginning, but to be honest I don't think it is necessary for everyone, it's best if people read it from 8th volume onwards as well as 1st 3 vols as the story is pretty much same. But for me it was worth reading cos I hate reading manga especially the fighting manga as its hard to understand the movements and actions for most of the time, So reading from beginning made me get adjusted to the style and art. Also Guts and Casca are better looking in Manga.

Spoiler alert until Falcon ARC!!!!

Well the story is vast and for now i'm at vol 22 ch 196, and I think It hardly scratched the surface. But I have an vague feeling how this might end.

for now we have:
- Griffith trying to conquer kingdom
- upraising of kushan army
- upraising of devil army a.k.a apostles as well as the 5 hand of gods
- upraising of Holy See ( pseudo apostles)
- Knight king
- the sorceress who gave Griffith the behelit
- The girl who wanted revenge on guts for her father ( before Golden Arc)
- The elf monster aka juli's friend
- Lady farnese and her partner
- The egg or behelit
- The prostitute luca and Gut's apprentice
and finally Guts and his band of hawks/ remnants

from all these I can guess that, Griffith conquering the world and Guts tries to put sense into griffith, and making him realize his mistakes and turning into a good person, by making this world into better place like code geass or something by killing or betraying all the monsters or devils and sealing away the behelit once and for all......

or it might turn out like Ant Arc in Hunter x Hunter

Overall:
I loved the manga, the story is like any other shounen anime, but maybe I liked it because it is a hentai, infact its in on par with most of edgy hentai's present lol :P


Edit: wait I think I am mistaken, it is combination of fantastic beasts, pirates of Caribbean, one piece and fanservice now, after 200 chapters

also I think is story is pretty straight forward now, but I hope author doesn't drag much and dive into showdown. and damn at this rate the writer will die before the story ends.

Anime Relations: Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works Prologue, Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works 2nd Season

This is review on both season 1 & 2 as well as prolouge:

If you didnt watch any of the Fate series then my suggestion is watch this Fate/stay night : Unlimited Blade Works first then watch Fate/Zero or it might lead you to hate the Fate series.

Now this is my view of FATE: SPOILERS AHEAD:

I dont have time so ill be writing it later...For now Ill paste the comments i posted ...:

Fights were cool better than fate zero but the pacing of story is worst...it is fast at some part and very dragging at others...even though fate zero had that but it was compensated by other interesting events...
Basically nothing much happened between what kiretsugu did and what shiro did...
And he didn't explain much about sakura...I thought she was one of the participants but nothing was told about her...the story bent the rules like hell.....I totally expected lots of twists, but kirei died a worst death, lots of low character development 😥




it is above average that is why I rated it 8...I hated season 1 , Cos 1st episode was very fast but not enough to create interest like Fate/zero ( I literally got goosebumps after episode 1 in fate zero)....I only liked fate/stay because of Rin...so yeah I kept making myself believe that its ok there might be better plot in next episodes but it never felt that way...anyways I shouldnt complaint cos even in fate zero nothing actually happens in season 1...

Whereas Season 2 was completely different...It was engaging from the beginning but what made me pissed of was the scene of ultimate blade works playing on and on....damn he wasted a lot of time on it...rather it would have been better if there was an episode from archer's point of view like at the time when he was in past, cos all that flashback and their reasoning whether shirou to be hero of justice was sooo complicated that it felt as if i was listening to some physics class where you dont understand the facts but they are true...

I loved Gilgamish....and his fight with shirou...All fights were cool tbh..but the problem was less no. of fights ( same fault with fate zero, So forgiven)

Lots of rules were bent, like if lancer was ordered to kill himself ,why is not killing himself when he is still alive?
How did rin and saber make pact with rin using up all command seals
How did archer come alive again when he is already dead?
How is archer even able to create that alternate reality field even without a master but rider in fate/zero could not even create more no. of time even with a master?


Finally it was shirou that made me dislike this anime a little cos He knows what his dad's mistake was i.e. By not knowing how to save the world? ( even i rated fate/zero 9 instead of 10 because of this reason) and he wants to become hero of justice then why not create an idea how to save the world instead of just quoting that he wants to be it doing the same mistake as his father....like saving many by killing few

And Final irritating part was..............Saber's personality was completely changed , Damn why is she soooo friendly? Its not even her trait , she looks like some damsel in distress

But even with all these I liked this series only because of season 2 or I would have rated in 6....The feelings of shiro never felt realistic, they felt like he was enacting some drama( Although i know he is bad with dealing with people ). Some parts did create emotions like when Rin keeps worrying about shiro and everyone but it is actually her that is hurt even though she isnt hurt physically( that part felt realistic) other than that I never got emotionally connected to characters like I got connected with Kiretsegu emiya.

Anime Relations: Nana

This review is basically not a review but an opinion of me after completing the Nana(Manga), (you can read my anime review to know about introduction to Nana )
Nana is one of my favourite stories as it might almost closely depict reality.
After watching anime version of Nana i started reading the manga from where the story had stopped in anime series.
Today after completing the Manga i had the same feeling as that of bradley cooper in the movie silver lining playbook where he throws the book outside after reading the book which his wife usually reads ( i dont mean it in a negative way, but i had the same feeling like him as if i wanted to throw my phone away out of my house ),
Basically I started reading manga with a hope finding the answers left behind in Nana anime version, but i found out that it has stopped in middle here also (like anime) and to my surprise, it didn't even give a proper conclusion like that of Nana (anime).
After all its a 'SLICE OF LIFE' , I shouldn't be expecting more lol.
there were smiling moments a little laughable moments but mostly sad and emotional moments which are memorable, but these sad moments do not make you tiring.
The story after Nana part1 (anime) actually goes on pretty good and you wont feel bored at all till the end....Only the relationship between Nana and Ren seemed little bit down for me, But the story's main twist ALMOST MADE ME CRY EVEN THOUGH I KNEW THE SPOILER, damn i felt as if that situation happened in my family...i really felt connected to the characters...The story is all mixed and mishap and would make you want to complete it as quickly as possible as you want to know what might happen in the end....
But in last chapter, to my disappointment nothing really happened, which made me angry cos it left the story half way...Damn!!! I thought Maybe i would get hyperventilation problem or i would go into depression as the twist though its not really a twist, its the atmosphere which the writer creates is awesome and mind-blowing which makes you feel that way, Finally after taking some rest and going out with my cousins I am writing this review as i cooled down a bit because the story keeps on lingering in my brain.
well I would say to all Nana (anime ) fans please read the manga, there is really an important twist or plot you ought to know but there is no answer to the question which was posed in the anime's ending that's a truth,
So Im asking you to read the manga without expecting an ending but to know more about the story...
