Tsuredure Children: Quick Look

25/2/2018

 
So, I have been watching this, and it's been pretty fun. But is it a good high school anime?

As always:

1.Spoilers are abounding here folks. If you want to watch it blindly... go watch it. 

2. Depending on the Anime, this can get NSFW. This one has a lot of those moments, so be warned.

3. I am watching the subbed version.

This a quick look at Tsuredure Children.
Picture
Poster For the show
So unlike Aho Girl, there is acually story to this, however, it is very segumented, as it uses the same format as Aho Girl. The problem with this is that some relationship stories are give more time others. The plot with Nanase is even dropped with no resultion! God damn it guys.

Another one I thought was underdeveloped was the one with Furiya and Minagawa. However, I still enjoyed it, because Minagawa was such a troll. I loved the the texting episode, where she troll's Furuya's little sister, Hotaru! That was a moment I recommend you check out on the dub. In fact the dub is really good from the clips I've seen.

However, it does let a few plots develop.
Picture
She Knows! And it's more interesting that the other way round.
My Personal Favorate is Chiaki and Kana, the comedy couple learning to love. Chiaki is such a dork, and it's so awesome to see that. Kana is very pushy on wanting them to kiss, and the moment they do, Kana... well, I won't spoil that little tid bit. Although they do try and have sex early on from their intro, which I know might be a culture thing... but it's still sorta weird.
Picture
Their skits are pretty funny too! I love the coach one they do later.
I also love Kamine and Goda, the complex couple that are learning to love. Goda is honestly how I would act with my girl friend, because I know women are complex, and if I do fall in love, I need to be careful of how I treat my loved one. It's nice seeing them learn what they want from each other.
Picture
Kamine: Who chokes on their first kiss? Knowing me, I might, and if you think I'm joking, watch me develop feeling for girls easily.
Sugawara and Takeono were also good. It says that Takono is dense, but I would say she is very naive rather, because she doesn't realise that Sugawara likes her, and vice versa. It's fun to see, and I love Takono's voice. Just dead panned and sounds like she really doesn't care some times. 
Picture
Sugawara's love turned him into a ghost.
Besides that, the rest are ok, but little to no time is given to them, or they were spread out too much/came too late for me to care. Wanna to know another thing I don't care about? The intro song. Sounds a bit too bland for my taste. The ending is really good,though. 

As for the art style, I like it a lot. A bit more of a basic pallet really helps it it stand out, while at the same time, make it look like a general anime.
Picture
Overall, I really enjoyed this anime. Good characters, good stories and I recommend it.

That's it for now! Expect an MHA review within the next few weeks!

Thanks for reading, have a great day/night, share if it's not too much trouble for you, and take care.

My Hero Academia: First Impressions

18/2/2018

 
*This is a wordpress repost*

I didn't want to pick up any more anime, but my mind told me to not watch BlazBlue for a while. This one I had heard about, but knew nothing of, so I was completely blind for this one.
Same Rules as last times, but for those who don't know:
1.Spoilers are abounding here folks. If you want to watch it blindly... go watch it. Spoilers are here.
2. Depending on the Anime, this can get NSFW. There is some strong language, but in the episode, it happens once.
3. I am watching the subbed version.
Well, does the world of all heroes fair well, or end up in deep despair? This is my 1st impressions of My Hero Academia.

Picture
"All men are not created equal."

"This was the reality I learned about society at the young age of 4."

"However, that was my first and last setback."

Izuru Midoriya is a student who has always wanted to be a superhero, after seeing All Might, the number one hero save lives in a tragic incident when he was young.  On his way to school, he catches a fight between a villain and a few heroes. Superpowers in this world are a common occurrence, and a Superhero is a common job, as they get paid by the government. In the fight, a rookie hero called Mt.Lady saves the day, and since she not seen her before, Izuru notes her down in his notebook. He's a fanboy, and this makes him relatable, but his back story is more tragic, but we will get to that.
Picture
PERFECT KNOCKOUT!!! Though I don't think anyone will get the reference, No, it's not Jojo.
I love the theme song. The Day sounds amazing to open the show and it's done by Porno Graffiti, the same guys that did the 1st opening to the 2003 FullMetal Alchemist, and I love that as well. The intro is well animated, check it out ASAP. I love the effort the Japanese put into their intros for anime and Kamen Rider.
​
Anyways, we then meet Katsuki Bakugo, a student that can use fire powers and want's to go to UA. Because of his quirk, he is able to burn certain objects and wants to surpass the highest paid hero. However, Izuru wants to be a hero, because of the highest paid hero, All Might. This is where tragic backstory kicks in, and boy is it tragic.
Picture
Are you high, dude? Mother is right there.
Izuru was born without a certain toe joint, with makes him quirkless. This affects because he is not able to inherit his parents' powers or create a fusion of both. This was hard for him because he had only one dream; become a hero. He has the heart for it too, so, it's sad to see it go to waste.
Speaking of which, I find it very enjoyable that the boy is the hyperactive one for once! Izuru is a good balance to my usual dose of Kamen Rider. Bakugo is the self-righteous prick which is enjoyable to see, and All Might is neat but he has little to no character in this episode.

Picture
Izuru, a different kind of nerd
Overall Good. My first Shounen anime turns out to be a good one. Let me know what you guys think!
Sorry for the wait between this a Dragon Maid, been very busy working on my 3d works, as well as private matters. I also want the readers to know that this is not an anime page. I do want to show case my other interests such video games, and toku. I want to showcase my interests with you people.
Share the post if it's  not too much trouble, take care and thank you for reading.

Animal Farm:Review

16/2/2018

 
So the theme for my Graphics project is film, and I have chosen to do animation as a genre. I thought about doing film reviews for a while now, and I went to see this on Sunday, so I will give it a quick review.

Just a heads, while I am using screencaps from the internet, I did go to BFI Southbank to watch this as part of their animation festiable. 

This is my review of Animal Farm.
Picture
Poster of the film
The has a very basic premise, but the meaning behind the story is what really matters in this case.
The film is an adatation of George Orwell's book of the same name, which was a story about the Russian Reveolvultion. Now, I'm no historian, but looking at some of what these charaters repesent, it becomes more intreating. Old Major, calls a meeting with all the animals, and saying that then need to overthrow their tyrent farmer, Mr Jones. And what really peaks my interest is that Old Major repesents Karl Marx, the founder of Marxism. Marxism started in Russia. Think about that.

Anyways, Old Major gives his last breath which allows him to them overthrow their farmer Mr.Jones.
Picture
The Animal resive the rules of Animal Farm
A pig named Snowball becomes the new leader of Animal Farm, and this allows them to set the new rules of Animal Farm. Over time, Snowball allows creates and equal society. However, Napoleon, a pig who is hungry pig for power, assassinates Snowball and becomes the new leader and becomes a dictator, who in the end is just as bad as the humans. The movie ends the same way it starts, as Napoleon is overthrown along with the pigs. In the book, however, the pigs turn into the humans in the eyes of the animals.

The story is basic, but again, if you understand the meanings behind the characters, it becomes more interesting. This is meant to be the Russian revolution retold. The movie it's self is animated very well for 1954. And it kinda reminds me a movie I am going to watch for this topic; Chicken Run. Makes me think of it after the ending if Ginger became a dictator.

Overall, I liked the film, but it was a bit long for the story it was trying to tell. I could use this to focus on British animation, and look at smaller scale by smaller scale studios.

Anyway, that is it for now! If your a regular reader, I'm sorry. This is very,Very different from what I do, but this more for a project.

Thanks for reading, have a great day/night, and take care.

NM Gameworks #06.5:Why I have a tip jar now

7/2/2018

 
So... I have some explaining to do. As most of you know, I am 16, in my first year of collage. I honestly want to study Game Development at University, rather than Computer Science, because I do have the skills, I do not see myself in that sort of environment, and it's easier to work for yourself as an artist making games, rather than a computer scientist making games. However, my are very much against this choice(they want me to study Computer Science), to the point where they will not sign any needed papers for me(and I was born very late in the school year, so by the time I turn 18, it will be WAY too late), and will not allow to take a gap year at all(despite them confusing me on what else to do).

So I need to start saving, and making my name known. All of the work I do is for free, and until I say otherwise, will be always free. However, I will be taking tips if you like my work. I want to start saving for Uni, as well as begin to take this more seriously. I don't want this to be just a hobby. I want this to be my life. So, if you want to, and if you can, please give me a tip via digital tip jar.
Digital Tip Jar
I can tips via Cards(I can't get PayPal or anything like this for the matter), and you don't have to donate, but even if you share any of my art, I do appreciate it.

Sorry for the short and sombre post today, but I have something good for you all tomorrow. Thanks for reading, have a good night/day and take care.

NM Gameworks #06:My first struggles and Document

3/2/2018

 
Hey everyone! Sorry for a lack of updates/reviews, but one has been stressing me for the longest time: The fighting game project. ONE.SMALL.BUG. That it is all that is in my way. It floats up when I don't want it to. That is the only thing. But still, I learned more about Mechiam in Unity. That what matters the most.
In other news, I made a video for game works! This was really fun to make, as I wanted to do this for the longest time, and show off how I rig and animate!
However, I have also been working on a game script based on an idea I have had for months. I won't say anything else. I also want to improve my photoshop skills, so I am going to be doing twitter banners for friends, and people I am huge fans of.
Picture
I know it sucks but an example of a twitter banner. The new one will be better, I promise.
Not a lot today, but due to a graphics project, there will be a lot of film reviews. So prepare for yourself! First up, Animal Farm.

Either Way, thanks for reading, have a great day/night, share if it's not to much trouble for you, and take care.
