Manga Review: Witch Buster

Aren't you guys lucky? Getting two reviews in one day, haha. This is for a manga called Witch Buster.

It gives off a sort of Soul Eater vibe, especially the cover's font and the little grinning thing in blue, so if you enjoyed Soul Eater, give this a read. Although it isn't the same, it's quite unique and interesting, At first I wasn't sure how much I would like it but after reading the first chapter I was hooked. The characters are invigorating, the artwork is captivating and the dialogue is perfect. Not to mention the little mascot, Halloween (that pumpkin on the front).
The main character is the stingy Witch Hunter, Tasha Godspell, a guy that's shrouded in mystery and loves every cent that he can get his hands on.
It's funny and only takes a second before you can't put it down (at least in my case).
So, I'm sorry about this being such a short review but I felt the need to keep writing and this is what happened, it's a fun series and I'm secretly hoping for an anime.
I look forward to talking to you guys again and as always feel free to leave any comments and/or suggestions on anything.

Game Review: The Last Remnant

Well hello again guys, it seems like I'm merely talking about games and books now, but anyways let's carry on until I can think of new material. Sorry about that guys, but anyway today, as you can see by the picture at the top I'm talking about the Last Remnant. It's a game made by Square Enix and I bought it on Steam for a downright steal of ten dollars!*
It is excellent, as to be expected from the company that creates Final Fantasy, Drawn to Life or Dragon Quest. The graphics are fantastic and the game-play is phenomenal. I have to say, however that the battle system took a bit of time for me to get the hang of.
The main guy is the one featured in the picture above, called Rush and his mission in life is to find his sister who was kidnapped by these mysterious guys and a giant monster which later turns out to be a thing called a Remnant - but I won't spoil it for you. Anyway, it seems his search starts (or at least the opening scene) is of this idiot, Rush, well rushing into a battlefield towards someone who looks like his sister in the barest sense of the word, considering she's at least old enough to be this guy's mother. But, that stupid action sets  his journey off.
There are lots of things I like about this game, the confusing but clever battle system, the innovative characters, the beautiful graphics, the humour and the characters. It's definitely a wonder that it's so amazingly cheap too.*
If you're a fan of Square Enix's RPG I suggest at least checking out this game in more  detail, because it's spectacular.

*I can't guarantee that the price will be the same for you, that's just what it was when I bought it, but good luck.

Game Review: Shelter

Hey guys! I'm finally able to update again, and once again I'll fill with an awesome review!
So, I recently bought this adorable green-light game on Steam called Shelter, where you play as a mother badger protecting her young.

It's really fun and it was only a matter of minutes before I was completely absorbed in protecting my babies and would be constantly checking around. The graphics are interesting and really beautiful, the little badgers all have different markers to make them extra unique and special and they make little squeaking noises, it's so cute.

There are lots of different threats posed to the mama and her young, such as predators, starvation and the changing seasons. So you have to channel your inner badger and make quick and rational decisions to ensure the survival of all the kids.
For anyone who's played Journey on the PlayStation, it's kind of like that with it's subtle meaning except with badgers. It's not very expensive and I find it really awesome to play, I recommend you guys all give it a try!

I'm also going to (hopefully) be back on feet and keep up the blogging regularly, fingers crossed guys and hope that I gain some discipline!

You're all awesome and I'll post again soon!

Also, don't be afraid to leave comments or ideas for other games/shows/books for me to review.

Anime Review: Watashi ga Moten­ai no wa Dou Kan­gaetemo Omaera g­a Warui!

Okay, well today I discovered this anime and have been watching it since, and so far I've watched six episodes so you guys can work that out. It's called Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! Which means, No Matter How I Look at it, I'm Not Popular Because of all of You! Which is condesend into Watamote.

The main character is the girl in the picture above ^ Tomoko Kuroki. A crazy, overreacting, game, anime and manga loving High School-er except Tomoko is incredibly shy, not that she realises that. Although the opening of the anime is her in middle school reading an online news article about 'unpopular girls' and exclaims that she will definitely be popular and have a boyfriend once she starts high school. However, two months in and she hasn't even talked to anyone! The anime (and manga - which I need to get around to buying and reading) then focuses on her millions of insane schemes to try and become popular. It's hilarious, and sometimes there are moments that just make you go 'oh no!' I really enjoy it and as soon as I post this I'm going back to watching it! :3

There's only one thing that bugs me, Tomoko's old friend from middle school, she reminds me of Shiemi Moriyama from Blue Exorcist, what do you guys think?

Pretty similar, except for the eye colour, I'm not saying there was a plagirism issue or anything, just that I can't remember her name and always think "Shiemi-chan!" when she comes on, and I really just wanted to share my opinion.

Anyway, try and have a look at Watamote! Bye-bye for now~

Game Review: Fire Emblem Awakening

Over the past four days I have returned to another favourite and classic series - Fire Emblem. In this new tale of the epic chronicles we encounter some familiar and beloved characters, as well as equally fantastic new ones - especially through the edition of DLCs and the ability to create your own character (mine is a tall cool looking, experienced, twenty-eight year old male with red hair and an easy-going personality by the name of Hachiro)! This time, we take on the role of a mysterious person who becomes Chrom's (the Prince and your co-star for main character) Tactician. Another thing Awakening adds is awesome battle scenes! After choosing a foe for you troop to battle it then enters an epic 3D cut-scene! There are two different types of cut-scenes in Awakening, one similar in style to the battle cut-scene in which the characters are more 3D and sprite-ish looking and the other where they appear in more of an anime style, however when it's done in the second style your character isn't shown.
Something that everyone who's played the game will remember, is the fact that when someone dies - they're dead. Well in Awakening there is no such trouble, you can play the game in either Classic or Another Mode of Which I Cannot Remember the Name, in classic mode troops are dead forever, in the other mode they're gone until the end of the battle but whichever mode you pick the game is over when the main character dies. Another semi-irritating feature that remains is that your weapons break! It's horrible when that happens mid-battle and that unit is left defenseless... but it adds to the base strategic element and attraction of the Fire Emblem series.
The storyline, as expected of a Fire Emblem game, is deep, exciting and I got completely lost inside of it! There are exciting twists and turns and all sorts of fun side stories, even more with the DLCs! Another extra feature is the 'Hubba Tester' where this guy called Old Hubba gauges how the characters really feel about each other, although it's just for fun and not really based on anything in-game I still have fun seeing how everyone feels about ol' Hachiro.
I'm sure you guys can all tell that I love this game, and naturally I'm giving it 5/5 stars, it continues the legacy of its predecessors while adding new, unique and memorable things too. There were epic moments, comical moments, cute moments and heart-stopping moments! I highly recommend Fire Emblem Awakening and all others in the series! Now I'm off to continue playing! And I'll draw you guys Hachiro later!

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D

So the number one thing you need to know about me is that I mother-freaking love the Legend of Zelda.

My boyfriend and a friend are getting me a replica Hylian Shield and Master Sword for my birthday (I'll post pictures when I get them). So, even though this game has been out for some time, it's naturally going to be the first thing I talk about on Game Thursday, okay. This is the reason I bought the 3DS (and unfortunately got mine just before they released the Legend of Zelda 3DS... heartbreaking, I know...

But, anyway...

I loved this, even though I've finished the Main Quest and Master Quest a couple of times, I spend hours playing this game.

I love the game play

I love the art.

The characters.

The epic music.

It's beautiful, just like all LoZ games are.

Just a few notes;

1. Navi

If you divert from the Questline just a little to get some hidden Easter eggs, (e.g. collecting all 100 Golden Skulltulas) then Navi will get all in your face like some independent black woman "Hey!" ... "Hey, Link!" ... "Listen!" Seriously... Navi, don't you care about realising that poor family from their curse? Or getting the fourth bottle? Just calm the fuck down and let me cut this grass.

2. The Water Temple

As always, it lives up to its reputation as the most hated dungeon ever! Water on, water off, water up, water down! Oh, you can't use your sword under water. Oh you need your iron boots, clunk. Clunk. CLUNK. But, you guys are just in for a lucky surprise because that Master Quest? It makes Every. Single. Dungeon. Water Temple insane!

3. Kaepora Gaebora

This guy is a magical piece of work! He talks to you for about an hour each time you see him chillin' up in a tree, okay, he will tell you at least one sentence that's of use to you the first time you play a LoZ game, after that, you kind of want to skip through it, so you do it, you press that (A) button like you press that traffic light button when you want to cross the road. But then, those evil people, at the end of his hour long speech have the options "I got all that" or "Please repeat that" and the option for him to say it all over again is the one that the arrow is automatically on so you go (A), (A), (A), (A)- oh shit... not again...

And that big, fuzzy owl tilts his head back and forth with his giant eyebrows happening like "oh yeah bro, it's not mustaches that are in, it's massive eye-staches".

I don't really know what else to say right now, considering I just got up and am extremely sleep deprived, haha, if I think of anything more I'll add it later. But seriously, if you love Legend of Zelda you should definitely get this, if you love adventure games you should definitely get this, if you have a 3DS you should definitely get this.

It gets

✰✰✰✰✰/✪✪✪✪✪

So basically it gets 100% 

A little note here, I did post this on Saturday morning here in Australia but according to Pacific Daylight Time (Australia uses Eastern Standard Time) which my blogger is set to, I posted this yesterday... and I waited all night for it to be 8:00 Saturday morning... anyway, enjoy guys and I'll talk to you soon!
