Anime Review: Akatuski No Yona OVA

Image
Akatuski No Yona OVA - 3 episodes The OVA consists of 3 episodes. The first episode is onsen-themed which features Kija's childhood while the other two episodes cover Zeno's arc in the manga.  The first episode is a mix of fanservice and sadness while the latter two is much, much sadder! I think Zeno's arc is very important in the story. We usually see this development within the series. I hate to think that this will be the last of Yona. Or are they preparing us for the second season?  It's too bad that I spoiled myself before, so I already know the twist. I also noticed that a lot of characters in Yona has such sad backstories. But if there's any consolation, I feel happy that the dragon warriors and Yona are all together now. Plus watch out for the cute scene after the credits of the last episode. And oh yeah, we also need to know Jae Ha's past too. That scene was such a tease. 

Book Review: Seraph Black Series 1 - 3

Image
Seraph Black gets by with her day with painting and finding a way to survive with her brother, thanks to their alcoholic and abusive father. Then one day, she meets these brothers who are actually her pairs and she's supposed to be their Atma. So that explains why she has these powers...  But not only that, she gains a stalker too. Warning : Mature content.  Book 1: Charcoal Tears  First thing's first. Let's get the cat out the bag. There are a lot of similarities with CL Stone's The Academy or The Ghost Bird series. Truth be told, the only reason I read it are basically of the good reviews and the comparison with Ghost Bird. My curiosity got the better of me. This was also already under my radar when I received a gift for this from the author. The least I want to is to make comparison with The Academy but the first book had a lot especially for someone who have already read Academy. It would be impossible not to compare the two. The setting of school. Abusive parent. ...

2016 Year in Review

Image
Yay. Super late Year in Review again and by far the least posts for a year. I'm sorry, guys! m(._.)m But the reverse harem titles are definitely much more compared to the previous year. For 2016, we had more or less confirmed 9 reverse harem animes and with just two based from mangas, Kiss Him, Not me and the second cour of Akagami no Shirayuki-hime and one multimedia project like B-Project. The rest is all based from otomes. That's including sequels from Uta Prince no Sama and Hakuouki. The prevailing reverse harem theme for animes is musical with Uta Prince, B-Project, Scared Rider Xech and Magic Kyun Renaissance. But unfortunately there are otome adaptations too that went away with reverse harem like Prince of Stride, Norn 9, Marginal 4 and Ozmafia. (I haven't finished Ozmafia yet). But fret not, the tables are turned too with all-boys titles suddenly becoming reverse harem theme with spin-offs/adaptations like Mr. Osomatsu, Sanrio Danshi and Idolish 7.    It's a big...
