my thoughts on moe

Heres a quick description from Anime News Network so you get the general gist of what im about to talk about: Moe is a Japanese term used in connection with manga or anime to describe something precious, usually (but not always) the ideal of youthful and innocent femininity. Written with the kanji for "to bud or sprout" (萌), the concept covers a range of ideal behaviour for youthful female characters in manga or anime. To be moe, a character can be eager or perky, not overly independent, and call forth a desire in the viewer to protect them and nurture them. The term is also used to describe any preciously cute item.

From Wiki: "Moe is not considered as a concrete term." 

do you get the general gist of what im talking about now? if your an anime fan im sure you've seen a couple of few moes' yourself by now. well, i've come to discuss my opinion on them. its come to my attention that theres quite alot of people out there that hate 'em! and i can understand where those people are coming from, they arent to everyones taste. especially if you've only seen the super cliche` ones.  

but i actually like them. i draw those kinds of characters, i've watched a few anime's where the only characters they have are moe, gosh!- my own sister is moe! 

whats not to like?

However, as is the case with most anime-personality-types, there are also plenty of annoying ones out there. the ones that try to force the childlike behaviour and oblivious-ness. ones that take it to a whole new level of innocence that they dont realize showing your necessaries to a complete stranger is plain wrong. 

moe? more like dumb-ass!

also, although its sweet and all, you do start wishing they'd switch things up a little, make things a bit more refreshing by not adding them as much. but i suppose thats mainly down to the recycled moe'. i have seen plenty of characters that fall into this category but dont behave in the typical frail as a flower way. they can be just as funny and interesting, if you do it right! a couple examples of this would be Yuki Nagato from TMOHS. she is boss! she's saved her friends lives so many times, infact almost every sticky situation they get themselves into she's the one to get em out! she doesnt get all flustered and annoying over everything and when she talks she talks goood. i have to admit she's pretty annoying in The Disappearance, but thats not really her true self. so dont judge her by it! also, i think i mentioned this before but pretty much all the 

characters in Lucky Star are moe, and yet they have a variety of different personalities, and they are all actually really adorable. and the list goes on, but i shall not list them all because i think you get what im saying! well, thats pretty much all i have to say on this subject! i am a Mo-Lover. everyone needs a bit of good quality Mo. xDD jawwwks.

btw, i was browsing google and found this, and i couldnt help but crack up, it reminds me of myself

   

CENCOOORED

Censorship in anime makes no sense to me. i really do not got it, not at all. what goes through the censories minds when they censor? let me give you a few examples.
Bleach's Rangiku Matsumoto always has her shihaksho loose from the front, therefore exposing a large portion of her breasts, and they feel free to show that wherever possible, however they make Soi Fon and Yoruichi wear white vests under their outfits (which in the manga they dont wear therefore revealing the side part of there breastage). im not complaining, im glad that they made them cover themselves up, it just doesnt make sense is all. also on many occasions they show blood splurting everywhere and arms being chopped off, and yet from time to time they try and act civilized by reducing the damage that may be caused in certain fights. for example Yammy gets his arm cut off by Ichigo which they show, but they find it much too deadly to show Uryu when his arm gets cut off (both times). the same goes for Jidanbo. repetitions of this go on all throughout Bleach. the producers need to decide whether they want to be child-friendly or appeal to the older market which its meant to. another factor is the dub for Bleach. they feel free to say the illegitimate child word and other offenses, but often times they change a portion of the script to appeal to the american dream (because of perhaps the rudeness). also with one of my manga vols which i own they censored a picture of Grimmjow doing the middle-finger-signal by making it look like he's just got his fist in the air, but in the very same book they have multiple panels of Rangiku with all her necessaries popping out (which i had to cover up myself).
these rules do not just apply to Bleach, i've seen the same thing in many different Anime's, and i was just thinking it kind of weird because there morals never make sense.

Bleach Hell Verse

this movie opens up with a fight betwen Ulquiorra and Ichigo (makes no sense i know, i just think the

animators were so pumped about the whole ordeal they couldnt resist throwing it into the film), it leaves you feeling confused and boggled, but things soon clear up as we cut back to Karakura-cho, where Ichigo is reenacting his glory days of ghostbusting. he is beating up some bullies who knocked over a vase you see, much like in the first ever ep in the series (they seem to be doing a lot of recycling in the story so far). then Renji and Rukia come along and tell Ichigo about a new mission they have been assigned. being the attention-seeker he is he offers to butt in, but Renji retorts and says he is only a Proxy Soul Reaper and that he should stop interfering with their work (or rather thats what Byakuya wished for).
a----, wait why am i telling you what happens in the story? i should be expressing my feelings more!
i have to admit that i wasnt very pleased with how they portrayed Hell. i understand how it couldnt be completely Hell-ish otherwise there'd be no story to tell, but when me and my sister were watching it we were just guffawing the entire time at how stupid it was. there are palaces and secret dens for the baddies to chill at, large reservoirs of fresh crystal-clean water for anyone who needs to cool-off, lavish pillers and a huge area full of apartment blocks where all the sinners stay. there are these massive giant-things which eat the evil-doers again and again, but it doesnt really seem all that painful, and if you have spiritual power you can outrun them anyway as many of the criminals have learned to do.

for someone who may have murdered, kidnapped, stole, bombed and much much more, i think they get off quite lightly in this place. for those who feel prison isnt enough and when they go to Hell it'll be true justice... well, they got it aaaallll wrrooooong (in Bleach-world anyway)*
it truly is a beautiful place! i dont think anyone that goes there would be missing out, at this rate id be
disappointed to be sent to the Soul Society, it seems harder to make a life there then in Hell, apparently. and no one seems to be really affected by the fire, its probably just like getting a mild burn when your cooking. and the gatekeepers are pretty clumsy (so moe!) considering the amount of sinners able to escape -_-

as if that wasnt bad enough, when Ichigo goes vasto lorde on us and lets a huge flame of hell into the WOTL no one really seems effected. buildings steadfast, humans carrying on with their daily lives. they could've at least showed a large portion of the town incinerated, especially since they dont mind doing that when Ichigo uses Mugetsu and stuff. im not asking for much here! Ichigo could still find a way around it if they insist, but as for the other people condemned their, they could've made it seem more painful and torture-some, and make that it isnt as peaceful and have such breathtaking architectures. they really had no limits on this movie since they discarded every one of Kubo's idea's to begin with  -_____- 

thats another thing which made me annoyed with this movie a bit more, knowing how excited Kubo-sensei was for it because he couldnt cover the whole Hell idea in the manga, how he attended meetings and made promotional art for it and then what'd they do? just ignore them all and go with whatever they wanted! he even wanted his name taken out of the credits, how sick is that!? people these days!

BUUUT besides the whole rubbish portrayal of Hell and betrayal to the creator of Bleach i think overall it was good. really awesome animation and the storyline is interesting enough. i also think some of the fights are quite cool, specially Renji's. there were some interesting characters, but the three minions are really retarded and disturbing, i felt kinda queasy at one point xD
but overall i enjoyed it, and im sure i'll watch it again! just could've been better is what im saying. i think id give it 3 stars.
thats it for now, stay tuned for more posts like this!

*but who really knows what the true Jigoku in Bleach would've been like had Kubo done it himself, maybe it was meant to be more frightening, we'll never know!

Mostly B's: your the perfect bruv! you strike a good balance, you can live life without being attached to her- and yet you have some good memories together.

Mostly C's: i wish i could say your perfect, but unfortunately you seem a wee bit obsessed. your love can be a tad overwhelming, and though you mean good you should tone it down a little. other then that its all great!

Bleach Bount Arc

hello, this is my second post in the ''Filler Reviews'' series i was going to do. this time is the 4th-5th season of Bleach, The Bount arc *shivers*. i get the 'eebie jeebies just thinking about it.

• Bewar, this is going to be long
• bewar this may contain spoilers
• bewar i do not own Bleach or Tite Kubo...
• or any of the characters in Bleach.
• bewar the actual plot wont be explained
• bewar this is just a mass of complaints.... you have been warned

BOUNT ARC

MY LOOOOOOOORD! MY LORD!!!! this arc is so terrible! to start of with, Vampires? need i say more? since when did the Bleach Universe ever go hand in hand with bladdy vampires? the whole idea is just a complete disgrace. i dont know what was going on in the producers minds.  the first part to the Bount arc (the bit with the mod-souls and all the challenges) i actually found quite interesting. the tasks they were set were quite funny and i didnt mind that it took so long to get over and done with (even though i didnt mind this part they still spoiled the part about discovering Uryu lost his powers as the WOTL cast werent aware of this until the Arrancars show up, but im willing to excuse that factor). the real problem begins with when the Bount characters get involved in the plot. it starts with Yoshino, a female Vampire-person using a weird power to lure a human towards her, then she starts breathing down his neck (which is the apparent technique for soul-suckage.) she also has a really retarded power called doll or summat, which she uses to ''defeat'' Ichigo, but then Rukia shows up and saves the day. 

another thing is, not only are the Bounts powers retarded but the characters themselves are also. i didnt warm to any of them or think they looked cool. the only one within their group i thought was mildly amusing was Maki Ichinose, who isnt even a Bount, he's a Soul Reaper. 

i hate the fact that Ichigo loses to someone as pathetic and weak as Jin Kariya, and also the fact that Jidanbo gets defeated by a batch of powerless Rukon-District trash. he may aswell give up his post as Guardian of the Gate seeing as how any old Tom, Douche, and Harry can defeat him. the worst is yet to come, Uryu Ishida. OH MY DAYS BLUT!! its just so terrible! he gets his powers back sooner then hes meant to ¬_¬ by the help of Mayuri but they completely destroyed him with the clown outfit they made him wear: ------>

i mean, reeeally!

not to mention it was simply too disgraceful how they made him care about the gay bounts. he is a proud Quincy, and one that doesnt burst into tears for no one, but then they go and make him collapse on the floor and lose all hope just because Yoshino dies? she means jack-all to him and he bloody loathes her guts- i'm telling you its just out of line. he doesnt even do that for his dear Grandfather who means the world to him, he barely brings himself to do that when he realizes he almost wiped out an entire town with his bait, and yet we are meant to believe he is this distraught over a flipping enemy who on a normal day he'd kill with his own hands? Yoshino (the girl bount) is like a reincarnation of Senna in the sense that she is v desperate. she is extremely annoying and is always trying to rape Uryu left, right and centre. what is it with Bleach girls and this obsession? no kidding, Ishida is just lying vulnerable on the couch and Yoshino starts molesting him in various manners and starts going on about her past which no one cares about, and she also attacks Uryu again on another occasion when he's asleep. she is always trying to be really mysterious and get cosy and it is just such a harrible, haarrible (Nadine from Girls Aloud quote) thing the creators of this arc could put Uryu through.

 they continue on their journey to degrade him in various manners throughout this arc which is one of the reasons why its so terrible.complete and utter rapi`ejj of his character its unbelievable. he behaves like an out-of-character nut-job and i shall never forgive the producers for that. that is the main reason for why this arc is the worst of all fillers. i like to pretend to myself that it isn't even Uryu, just some imposter (which it technically is considering its a filler, but its still unforgivable nonetheless).
they also destroyed Chad in the eng dub by changing his voice actor to the worst thing you can imagine. i literally had to block my ears most of the time (thank goodness he doesnt sound as bad in the Arrancar arc). though it isnt the Arcs fault i still hold it against it. they also destroyed Byakuya, making him have trouble against a lowly bountoo.

most of the fights are extremely boring, there were some that were more bearable then others, but most of them put me to sleep. 
The on good thing about this shizzle is that where the enemies aren't involved it's extremely hilarious. i wish this arc was a comedy rather then having serious villains because they did an epic job on that side. I'd even consider buying the boxset if it was just the funny and un-bount-related bits. but the hilarity is the one and ONLY good thing about this crappy arc-  new characters, plots, scenes, fights, powers, EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING I SAY!!! ALL OF IT WAS RUBBIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSH!!!!! and im sure most people will agree with me on this. overall id give the Bounto arc half a star, for humour. other then that *shakes head sadly*. but the good part about it all is that its filler! the fun thing about fillers is if its a really good one and Kubo helped alot with the production of it you can consider it canon, but if its terrible you have the reassurance that none of it really happened, it was all just a bad dream. 

thats all for now! tune back for more!

Bleach Memories of Nobody Review

a couple of few days ago i was watching some random clips of the Bount arc in Bleach when i was reminded of how terrible it really was. and it really got me thinking, so i thought why not make a series of Bleach filler reviews?? and of course to kickstart this series i'll start with the two worst (full length) fillers in all of Bleach history! first up is Bleach movie (1), Memories of Nobody. Bewar, this is going to be long
bewar this may contain spoilers
bewar the actual plot wont be explained
bewar this is just a mass of complaints....
______________________________________________________________

Bleach Memories of Nobody.

this movie.... *shakes head whilst clutching bridge of thine nose* i was so disappointed in it! not as much the overall plot but more the lame characters. let me start with Senna--- OH MY DAYS!!! she is such an annoying tart i cant even explain!!!!!!!!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGH! i go insane just trying to start somewhere with her. lets see, i like her Zanpakuto idea, the whole autumn feel is great, and if given time it could have been developed into something more bad-assery. also i think the way Senna looks is good. the big let down is her gay personality. she always tries to act really chirupy and playful and it gets really annoying. especially when Ichigo has to keep an eye on her and she starts trying to play hard to get and starts running off (not at her full speed of course because she really likes the feel of being caught). and also she has the very typical ''im not going to be a burden'' motto but ends up being the biggest darn burden anyone could ask for. its really annoying how she tries to behave independent and strong in the beginning, but as soon as Ichigo is ordered to hang on to her she suddenly becomes weak and frail and her traumatic past starts seeping into her fighting styles. and even though the thing that would helps with burdens is to just be killed on sight or save herself, she has to go and turn into the damsel in distress thats always wailing Ichigo's name, and then when he comes to save her scream ''ITS NOT SAFE, FORGET ABOUT MEEE-E-E-E-E-E!!!'', pretty counter-productive. but thats not the worst, the side of her character which really makes me want to punch the screen is her motherly side which comes into play when Kurosaki has to keep an eye on her. it seems like she's trying to be a really well-rounded kind of woman Ichi can settle down with, and in order for that to happen she has to be a nurturing mother who can bear all his children without hassle, yet at the same time still be free as a bird and able to have a little fun in spare time. and also she has to do the cliche thing of acting really uninterested and unaware yet always being mistaken for his GF and cuddling up in his bed without realizing that that isnt the thing to do when you've just met this person. the list of irritating things about her goes on and on endlessly, but thankfully she does die in the final battle. she tries to do the heroic thing by sacrificing herself, saying ''i cant imagine a world without you Ichigo, dont worry its for the best, FORGET ABOUT MEEE--E-E-E-E--E-E-E'' yet even after that she insists on clinging on to life even though it would have been easier to just die right there. but no no, she had to make Ichi's life hell for a bit longer. she clings her fat arse to him and starts whispering in his ear about how wonderful her marriage with him was and can he pleesh do a last favour of taking her to her to nonexistant parents grave. ichi does this begrudgingly. 

and since she refuses to give up and pass away until she see's the grave he lies to her and pretends her parents name is scrawled onto the tombstone even thought it clearly isnt. at long last she perishes....
........................................................................
...............................................
................................................................
..............................
.........................................................................

    

or so you think. a few days later Kurosaki see's Senna stampeding down the tracks with her friends. ¬_¬ but she loses all memory of he past life so i suppose its good enough.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH *deep breath* besides Senna's incredible annoying nature the battles in the movie were actually good. the plot was same old same old, revenge and all, and all the enemy characters were really stupid. i think the only thing that made this movie worthwhile was the soul reapers play in it. i find this movie very tricky, i would watch it again but Senna's role in it would make me cringe whilst making my blood boil at the same time (not to mention id be pausing it at every interval to complain to my sister about how disgraceful each scene is). i still have so much more in my system to let out but i have to force myself to stop....

overall id award this movie 1 star (for good battles and soul reapers).    over and out!

    --- btw i do not own Bleach or Tite Kubo (xD) or Shueisha  or any of the art above.
--- i just realized i was going to start with Senna and then explore the other characters but i ended up talking about her up until the end.

Monster High vs Bratzillaz (essay)

(by Rome)
i know this isnt exactly anime related, but the heck! its got some link what with the whole animation side of these dolls and whutnots.
anyhow, today i decided to type into good old Youtube ''Bratzillaz vs Monster High'' and watched both of the music video's the two brands have. i found lots of people rooting for Monster High, there excuse being that Bratzillaz is a rip-off and that they copied them and whatnots. i dont mind people preferring Monster High all that much, but what drives me up the wall is their reasoning, ''oh, Bratzillaz copied Monster high!'' and just saying other dumb things just because they bought Monster High first. so i thought i should write my opinion on the matter. it may be biased, but i dont see why that should bother anyone seeing as everyones opinion on this matter seems to be biased.

first of all- all the comparison vids i've seen always show the music videos and the music videos alone, which i think is bang out of order considering that the Bratzillaz video is blatantly a fail. i am happy to admit that MH's attempt is much better and catchier in certain aspects, so its alright if people say this is one of the reasons they prefer MH. but its unfair that all everyone ever see's is the Bratzillaz flop music video, when there are other good things about it which are never mentioned. im not saying they should upload their entire biography or anything, but they should at least show pictures of the dolls at the end or summat.
it'd be cool if they uploaded both of the commercials because its more related to the dolls and then people can make a better judgement of who they prefer.
i mean you have to admit that the Bratzillaz commercial is pretty epic! me personally i think its way better then the MH version

 i mean its really catchy no??

monster high's one is good too, but me personally 

its not as captivating. 

now onto the subject of the whole copying business. i dont know how anyone can say they are copying Monster High when their look is completely different. MH dolls have unique coloured skin such as green and blue, they are super skinny and alot of their outfits are more ''be true to who you are'' then stylish.

these dolls i would say are definitely more funky fierce and bright. if you take a look at Bratzillaz you will see that both concepts are completely different. the only thing they have in common is that both dolls are supernatural and that they go to an academy to learn about their powers. but then you could go and say that MH are a rip off the original Bratz dolls because all throughout the series the girls discover many mythical creatures, and they too attend a school to learn. not to mention they have big eyes and flamboyant clothes like the Bratz. but suddenly no one remembers that when they talk about copying. and its not just the idea's even the Bratzillaz faces look completely different to MH. for one thing the shape of their face is more full. not to mention that their eyes are ten times more stunning then MH, with the real glass they simply look gorge! and their lips are more pouty to some extent. their figure is also different so the clothes dont look the same on them. 

as i said before these dolls have slight similarities but that is what happens with anything really, but as a whole they are utterly different idea's each having their pro's and cons so i wish people would shut up about Bratzillaz copying MH because they arent, and if they are that concerned about copying why dont they think that maybe MH took a sneak peek at the original Bratz dolls and indeed copied them? yeah, thats what i fort!

Witches are alot different to Monsters. Monsters are creatures that usually dont resemble humans at all, or if they do very little. they have fur and sharp teeth, warts and spew green slime. Witches and Wizards are ordinary looking people with a couple inhuman looking features, and they can cast spells and fly.

see the difference now? no? no? well then i dont know what i could possibly do or say to convince you. 

now then, i know i have rambled an aweful lot but thats life for you,

i just wanted to put my opinion out there. i prefer Bratzillaz, and they most certainly did not copy Monster High, that is the moral of this story.

thats all for now! over and out!

anime of 2012-2013

(by Rome)
today i would like to discuss anime of 2012/2013, or just recent anime in general. i have given TONS of them really fair chances (imo) but they are all just so boring or typical. the only thing they have going for them is the animation and art. and even then its getting a bit old. not necessarily the slick animation, just the art. i have searched far and wide for these recent anime and all the characters look almost EXACTLY the same. that really average looking guy with short brown hair, not too tall-looking, petite, and then of course a girl with light peachy-orange hair.

see what i mean?

and is it just me or is P.A works the only anime studio producing shows these days? because lots of the recent animes are made by them, hence exactly the same art and exactly the same look each character is going for. its not only the looks, personality is also an issue. there always has to be a fudging Tsundere girl in the anime and it makes me want to scream so much, its so irritating! the only line they have for everyone is ''Urasai! baka!'', they are constantly saying urasai again and again, and if a boy pays them the slightest bit of attention they start blushing and thinking he wants to get into their pants so she says ''URASAYOO!'' even though she's secretly desperate for something more. Tsundere girls tension levels must be 10 times higher then normal girls because a man cannot even look at them without the screen zooming into her blushing face, closing her eyes, fire building up and then finally yelling ''BAAAAAAAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'' (something along those lines anyway). 

not to mention everyone rubs them up the wrong way except this one certain man who is so heartwarming and kind she cant help loving him and the ice slowly melts by the end of the series. the next category is bloody moe's. now, im not going to lie, i like moe myself, not in a pervy way, dont get me wrong, but they can be cute, certain attributes or the look and whatnot, but the moe girls anime is producing these days just cheese me off so much. its always a girl who forces innocence, has an unbearable high-pitched voice that makes you want to punch them and secretly enjoys male attention, either that or somehow magically gets herself involved in disturbing situations. like she conveniently doesnt realize she's meant to wear nickers and she trips over- or she forgets how to lock the door when she's having a shower or she doesnt realize wearing her undies and nothing else infront of a guy is something thats just not done. either that or she has a long conversation with her private parts out and then after he's had a good ol oggle she looks downs at her self, clenches her fists next to her chest and starts squealing with fear, or something gay like that.

these arent the best examples but i wasnt about to upload highly disturbing images onto my blog. oh, and another typical looking guy -_- 

in my eyes if your moe your not a dumb beeyotch, your careful about what you wear and whats inappropriate and you have sincere innocence which means you wont be blending with every guy you can see and falling ontop of them 24/7. there are plenty of moe characters that dont have these attributes that are still considered moe like the cast of lucky star, which i quite like too, and a bunch of others, but i simply cant stand the typical shizz that 2013 anime is coming out with.
besides the characters another sad point about recent animes is that they're all style no substance. beautiful animation, and yet the storyline is so typical, has been done a hundred times before and is boring. the characters arent even likeable because they are also the typical tut i mentioned above.
i did find some anime which seemed good, unique characters, interesting plot, but sadly i had to give them up because the genre as a whole didnt appeal to me, like it turned out to be Yaoi or Ecchi or something like that ¬_¬
and if that wasnt the case then the characters were unbearably ugly i had to quit.
so as you can tell i have been in quite a deep anime-slum, you might call it. i just cant find anything fun or gripping to watch =/ but im not going to quit because anime and manga is my passion, i just might have to retire from watching stuff for a while (or at least will have to try).
all this being said i did still find some 2012-2013 animes which i liked or am following so at least some good things came from my endevures. i only wish manga/anime creators would just be a little more creative when creating a story like in the good old days, because even if they have good idea's they ruin it by adding cliche's which seem to appeal to a much bigger audience but not me, such as plenty of bath scenes, tsundere characters whom's neck you want to wring and many other things.
hmm, i think thats about it. maybe not, theres still lots i want to say perhaps but i suppose i'll have to leave it at this. bye-bye for now.
