Karneval - Character Similarties

For Karneval I had such high expectations yet ONE thing really bothered me while watching. Most of the characters remind me other anime characters. It can happen in everything you watch but this particular anime is very questionable! Very good idea and I love how colourful it is but how can I be satisfied if the characters are ripped-off from other anime?

There are many anime boys who look really similar to Gareki but one of the closest match is Haru >_<

I think that's the first one I spotted! She has exact hair as Hinaichigo and have the mixed clothes style of Hina and Road; cute lolita style and a bow tied underneath the neck. She's also kind of cute and bossy, so the personality can be counted also as similar.

This is absolutely Inori. Similar hair colour and eyes, plus flood in cuteness but Inori is 100 times better <3

I haven't even watched Kuroku no Basket yet I knew Karoku reminded me of someone. Even the name is similar!

They absolutely have no similarties in the appearance but their personality and the role in the anime are the same. They were both added to give humour to the show and the boy-cuteness! They are the the "clowns" of the anime. They behave the same and both care about their friends.

From my last similarties post I added one more person to give us triplets. They both have golden eyes and black hair, therefore they look like brothers and Jiki is the youngest XD. I don't know why but Jiki is not very likable for me as well as his 'brothers' ._.

That's just ridiculous! Even the face is similar as well as the eye and hair colour! It got annoying at this point. Well Yotaka looks younger but they look like identical twins!

Another copy of Rozen Maiden characters. Both adorable, same hairstyle and eye colour.

I may be exagorating at this one but I think they are quite similar; with appearance and personality.

There was few more but I think I'm over reacting so I haven't mentioned them :/

Post Question: Do you noticed any similarties between Karneval characters and other anime characters?

Junji Ito ~ Praise him for Creativity!

As you may know I'm a great fan of horror; from sleepover stories to great movies, and from books to anime & manga. The one who stole my interest on anything else in the world without my notice is Junji Ito. He's a great mangaka who is well known from his big collection of horror. Lately, I got to know that he made a movie based on my favourite manga!! I praise him for the creativity, even though it's really bizzare and disgusting D: I could recognize his art-style straight away!

I searched instantly for horror manga and one day I came across my first work from him; Shin Yami no Koe Kaidan, which was horrifying and utterly disgusting, yet I think that's how a good horror manga should be! Then I came across more of his fantastic works like Mimi no Kaidan, Yami no Koe and Gyo. I was caught in the spiral of horror like the characters in his most popular manga 'Uzumaki' which was the last one I've read.

Junji Ito released also an anime movie ' Gyo' based on the manga with the same title. I review it months ago along with the manga. In addition, he has even adapted series of horror films (not anime) like Uzumaki; which is the most terryfing one out of all! I'm ashamed that I just miss it. Surely I'm gonna watch all he has done and also read as his ideas are unique!

From the day I read one of his manga, I have a fear towards one particular thing. I couldn't sleep for weeks properly and I felt like seeing ths figure out in the dark ;-; no more please

<------ my nightmare

Post Question: Do you hear of him before? What horror manga, anime or anything else you enjoyed the best?

Free! Eternal Summer ~ First Impression

I watched it yesterday but had no motivation to create a post. Honestly, I even forgot to look up the premier date so my level of excitement was so high when on my favourite website there was written "Free! Eternal Summer - Episode 1 [english]". I just sat comfortably, plug in earphones and got ready for another season of 'half- naked gay guys swimming in a beautiful sparkling water' anime!

First of all what I get from the first episode:

- Finally Rin and Haru or getting on well <3
- there's new character called Sousuke which is Rin's ex-boyfriend that came back to stole him back and Haru will experience a very hard time as he needs to become a great boyfriend so Rin won't leave him for Sousuke but Haru is too lazy to become the best lover that Rin ever had....... 
- Haru is mermaid
- Haru's obsession gets a bit creeppy towards iwatobi figure ._.
- Gou..... I mean Kou very nicely advertised the club, well I would join you know XD
- Rin + Police uniform = wiggle, wiggle wiggle <~(^_^)~>
- Makoto's cuteness ♥♥♥
- my emotions are touched by the characters - mainly by Rin's emotions ;-;

 Now seriously, finally I can see my beautiful bishies <3 The episode started excatly the same as the first episode of the first season. Nicely done as well as the brand new opening and that ending. I think this season will be much better then the other (well, hope so).  I laughed my ass off the whole episode, that was just stopping and need to process what's going on. The cutness of these guys I think exceeded the norm!!! You saw Rin right??? His feelings though ;-; I just can't wait for next episode!

Then I went to tumblr and my dash got flooded with Free!2 spam! I'm glad that I watched the episode first. On that day my blog went 90% of Free! and 10% of all other sh*t.  In addition the gif on the left is getting out of control
<( ﾟдﾟ)> STAHP!

Opposite of Senpai? - Otaku Glossary #2

Lately I'm annoying my (younger) sister by stalking her and repeating "Senpai!", "Will you notice me someday senpai?", "I love you senpai!!". I know that Senpai (eng. senior) is used towards person older than you or someone higher in education system or sport. It can be used alone or at the end of someone's name.  My sis is always ignoring me and I CANNOT impress her anyhow. She don't respond to my jokes and avoid me somtimes XD Ah..... this sister love and relationship <3

So I realised that she acts like a 'Senpai' who doesn't want to notice their........their? ........their? And here comes a problem :/ What's opposite of Senpai? While scrolling by tumblr (a 'very educational site') I find a comic and finally got my answer! It's "Kouhai"!! It's applied to someone lower in age, education system or sport. Now my life is complete (◡‿◡✿)

Tamaki-senpai appreciates that you noticed him

Remember that Senpai will never notice you as I experinced that myself, not only be my sis but also by someone in my school. That's just our destiny as being a Kouhai ಥ_ಥ
Stalking our love:

My inspiration <3

Even water wants to be noticed </3

You know..... just sharing my "weird images" collection :D No more new japanese words were find so a post dedicated to our Kouhais and Senpais......
Otaku Glossary #1: HERE

Sword Art Online - Popular but is it worth watching?

At the beginning of my Otaku life I was desperately searching for most engaging anime so I won't be discouraged in watching. Sword Art Online was mentioned to me millions of times yet I haven't got time and motivation to start it however; What a disgraceful Otaku I am that I haven't watched it yet? People our talking, recommending, getting excited about until now and me, sitting there not knowing how brilliant it is!

Info about anime here:

Impression Time!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Graphic and characters are pure brilliance, but it's the plot that makes it worth watching! I never knew anything about this anime, only that the main female character is 'Asuna' and it's something about killing monsters with swords XD Therefore the first episode stole my breath as I was sitting with my mouth wide-opened. WOW! I'm a gamer myself and I can play MMOs for long with adoreness to the virtual world therefore the experience that the players had made me horrified! Being stuck in a game? Being killed? It suppose to be a fun experience, not a heartless blood-bath which make people fall into dispair and terror. The first two episode keep me up and truely agree with Sao fans....... it's pure brilliance.

Suddenly, everything calmed. Where's the terror? After the two exciting episodes, everything seem normal, well we know that many people died in first week (?). The plot seem to be paused and anime seem like a big filler which introduces you some character and then this person/group dissappears from scenery from various reasons. In between some boss fights, various problems occuring, secrets, drama and bulding up relationships with other players. I thought back then: When it would be something more specific which will affect the plot completely? Yet when I reached that episode I was shocked and I couldn't get over my mind what happened for the rest of the day. From that episode I watched everything in one go as this is when the plot starts to get twisted and affected.

As in one of the anime that I watched, 'D-Gray Man', they needed to build up the relationship; not only among the characters but as well as with YOU! I got attached to the surroundings, characters and atmosphere so when there's a change I'm hella confused. It was like if my won life was changing! D: When my level of interest increased I couldn't stop watching. It's worth the popularity and now I transformed to a crazy SAO fan which will write everywhere how amazing it is (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

at the left is me :D

Post Question: What other anime is so popular as SAO that you know?

SummerTime!! [2014]

I had a study leave from the beginning of May so even though I have bunch of free days it didn't seem like holidays. Now I realised as my exams are over - "Oh.....now it's summer ._."- and I have nothing really planned or done.

I was planning to get a summer job to earn some money for myself yet I still haven't look for anything!  (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ Deep within me I'm not ready for adult responsibilities but I really want a job!  T^T What I will do for 2 months when I'm not going on holidays and most of my friends are going somewhere abroad? Also there's not many stuff to do in N. Ireland!! I hope at least there would be lots of sun.

Plans:

• get a summer job
• watch anime as I had a break for 3-4months (?)
• read manga as I haven't read as well for a while
• participate in summer clubs
• go out with friends
• update blog more often

What a boring list! ಠ_ಠ
 Anime planned to watch:

• overall finish what I've started
• Kuroshitsuji (new upcoming episodes)
• Ao Haru ride 
• Free! Eternal Summer
• Tokyo Ghoul
• Ghost Hound

What a nice list ಠ‿ಠ !
I also wanted to attend a Convention taking place in Belfast with my friend yet I have litarally no money and no transport! Another year which I can't attend.

Look! I finally post regulary and I also update the theme of my blog! I hate editing HTML >:( Never again. If you know how to do it without a problem you are a pure genius!

Post Question: What are your plans for the summer? What anime/manga are you plan to watch?
