One Piece

One piece is an anime that has been on-going for quite a long time. I believe that it has gone on for so long because it is funny and has a great storyline. Luffy, the main character, is a pirate crew’s captain. He actually started out with nothing but passion to be a pirate king and determination from his friend, Shanks.

Surprisingly, Luffy’s weird or maybe unique personality were able to recruit many different types of crew members. All of them are very strong and very important friend of his. I feel that he has the all for one and one for all attitude which makes me admire him.

The story of the anime is very entertaining although the episodes are pretty short to me. Whenever I watch this anime, I cannot help but burst laugh or have some tears in my eyes as it is very touching. Many emotions were brought out of me as I watch this anime. The crew itself also have many crew members with interesting personalities.

The Straw Hat Crew (Luffy’s pirate crew name), will not be the way it is without every member. I like Chopper in the anime the most. He is the doctor in the crew and is not human. He is a reindeer, often mistaken as a racoon dog. He is very cute and also very funny at the same time.

Watch One Piece to figure out which crew member you would like most! And maybe comment below your favourite character and why that particular character! :D

Love Stage

Hi, it’s me again. Today I will be introducing you all another ongoing anime series. However before I start, I will kindly inform y’all that this anime that I am going to introduce is a boys’ love anime. So those who are uncomfortable with same gender relationship, please kindly skip this review as it may cause you some discomfort. Thank you.

Now that I have given you the warning, I shall begin with my post for today. The anime that I am going to introduce to you all is Love Stage! .

This anime is about a college student named Izumi Sena who is an Otaku ( someone who loves to read manga and watch animes) too.

However, Izumi is not an ordinary college students. Even though he may look dull and boring, he is born into a famous and super-talented family as his father, mother and brother are all very famous in the entertainment industry. Izumi always wanted to be a mangaka ( someone who draws comics) ever since he saw an anime character – “Magical Girl Lala Lulu”.

But one day, he was asked to act in a sequel of an wedding advertisement that he was casted in ten years prior… as a girl. However, he would have to act as a female again. ( Want to know what happen? You will know it once you watch the anime). After much protest by Izumi, he finally accept this job where he winds up in an awkward moment with his co-star, Ryouma Ichijou ( who is a very famous actor and singer in the show). What awkward moment did they ended up in? Stay tuned to this anime to know.

For this anime, I have only know about it when I first seen the teaser for this anime. Most of my friends believed that Izumi is a girl however, I know that Izumi is a guy immediately once he came out in the teaser.(He is a wedding dress and long hair wig) Okay let put these details aside and get to the real point. I have immediately fallen in love with this anime the moment I finished watching the first episode. I totally love the comedic (and cute) scenes that this anime has.

The voice actors portray their characters very well, which made me laugh a lot as they have used unique voices to help the viewer to understand the story better. I am very surprise that the voice actor of Izumi is able to make those inaudible speech.

The foll0wing video is the teaser for this anime:


So if you are interested in this anime, you can go to the following website

Akuma No Riddle

Akuma no Riddle is a Assassination type of anime. There are 12 Assassins in the class built on to kill 1 of themselves to get a wish as a reward. But Soon, one of the 12 assassins becomes the target’s protector instead. It’s an Action, School, Yuri type of anime. Since it’s a type of anime focused about assassins, There are some blood and gore, but not too much.

Story 8/10
The Story was well thought out and left out an unexpected end (Not going to spoil). Although it was Cliché at some points, it is still different from other animes and the story is unique from others.

Characters 8/10
Out of 11 out of 12 of the characters, each of them bare something in common, they have the same common emotion to kill. Each of them showed the same devilish face with the intention to kill. Even though they all have the same thing in common, they all have their individual personalities well.

Animation and Sound 7/10
The Animation and Sound of this average. The Emotions of the characters were displayed well whether they are sad or happy or crazy. The Sound was good and the voice actors displayed well and good emotion.

Enjoyment 8/10
I enjoyed this anime as in each episode, I wanted to know what will happen in the next. It builds up so well especially wanting to know what will happen to each and every one of the assassins along the way. Everyone also has a different way of killing the target, which makes it enjoyable even more.

Overall 7.5/10
It is a great anime to be looking forward to especially when it was on-going. After going through the first 2 episodes, the story started to pick up and each of their characters have their own time to shine. Overall, I liked this anime and I was able to remember each of their characters well.

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children

                               
Synopsis

Set two years after the events of Final Fantasy VII, Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockheart was called by Rufus Shinra, Shinra Company Former President. He ask Cloud to stop the manifestations of Sephiroth, a former SOLDIER of Shinra Company, Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo. However, Cloud refused to help Rufus. Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo planned to resurrect Sephiroth using the remains of Jenova, an Extraterrestrial. The three then abducted the GeoStigma , a disease, infected children so that they can reunite with Jenova. Now Cloud and his friends have to rescue the children and stop the three to save the city of Edge.

My Review
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children is an anime movie that is set a couple of years after the events of the Final Fantasy VII franchise. The movie tells the story of what has happen after the defeat of Septhiroth. The world was turn in turmoil as a new disease, with no cure, spread across the newly build city "Edge". Cloud Strife return as the main character together with Tifa Lockheart and his another companions. The plot of the movie was understandable but it can confuse people who did not play the game, as it follows up from the game itself. However, the flashy and exciting fighting scenes were so spectacular that I find myself rewinding and re-watching the scenes again. Other than the fighting scene, the story was not rushed but I felt like that could have made the story better. The movie have a good soundtrack and also used the most memorable soundtrack from the game itself. Overall, Advent Children is a good anime movie to watch and i recommend this movie to anyone, specially the Final Fantasy VII fans. I rate this movie 8 / 10.

Angel Beats!

This anime is the first anime that I watched. This story revolves about this organization called Afterlife Battlefront (SSS) in a special world. The people who come into this world, have some lingering attachment about something or someone. They felt that they have died unjustly. They come to this world to realize what gain the memories of the lingering attachment and learn to move on and forgot about those attachment. If they manage to do so, they will move on and became NPC (who are students and teachers in the world). However, Afterlife Battlefront feel that god is unfair to them that this thing happen to them. They decided fight against the God. In this case, they think that it is the head of the student leader (Angel).

This anime is a fantasy and supernatural that is action-packed. The conflict between Angel and SSS are very fierce. Despite that, the problem of the god continue. Some of the member managed to put down the attachment and became NPC. I personally feel that the plot is good if you are a big fan of fantasy or supernatural. It describe unfair thing that happen to people. It may be man-made or natural. The feeling is well describe in this story.

The design and animation is one of the big selling point of this anime. I like that classical design of most anime. But I have say this the skirt are toooo short. The background of the scene are well-chosen. It manage to bring out the situation and the setting that they faces. The song are very closely related to the storyline. It is giving a general feeling of the anime.

Overall, this anime is worth watching. This interesting plot and HD quality of videos are well animated. This story will not be the just the usual storyline of the two people fall in love (common in anime).

Kuroshitsuji: Book Of Circus

Hello, today I will be introducing you one of my all-time favorite anime series. Well this anime is actually ongoing but it is linked to other two series that shares the same name. Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus is the anime. This anime is in the Victorian-era Europe which depicts a story about young boy named Ciel Phantomhive who have made a deal with a demon (who became his butler named Sebastian Michaelis after the contract is sealed) with his soul for revenge on people who have humiliated him and killed both of his parents. Due to the death of his parents, he succeeded his family named at the tender age of 12 handling his family business affairs along with his family’s secret identity which as the Queen’s guard dog. As the guard dog, he have to handle underground work - serial killers, drugs, illegal immigrants whatsoever. Besides Sebastian, he too recruited three more servants ( Bardroy- chef, Finnian- Gardener. Mey-rin – maid). However, these three servants always messes up their work in some way or another but they all have special abilities. Interested in knowing what abilities they have? It’s a secret. You should find it out yourself.

The above summary is just about the beginner's information, this particular Book of Circus series, it reflects only on Noah’s Ark Circus Arc from the original manga. It is about a travelling circus arriving London for their circus performance, however there are signs of missing children from the cities they have visited and performed during the period of them at those cities. This made the Queen to be concerned about the children in London would be the next batch of children who will get missing.  In order to solve the Queen’s concern, Ciel would have infiltrate into the Noah’s Ark Circus to find out the missing children. Did he succeed in finding those children? Stay tuned to this anime series to find out.

Okay, time for my reviews. Well, as I have said before this is my all-time favorite anime series. As this story have a hint of supernatural and along with a large splash of humor which sparks my interest and attracted me. Firstly, Ciel is so adorable that I have the urged to cuddle him (if he is real) and Sebastian is so handsome and his famous line “I’m one hell of a butler” and “Yes, My Lord” have made him more than plain charming, in addition his loved for cats is on a different level from other fellow anime cat lovers. Because of Sebastian, my fear for demon is overwritten. Well, how can a demon this hot be scary?

Secondly, this ongoing anime series have comedic scenes that made me laugh heartily. For example:

Thirdly, I seriously hate those people who used Ciel as a sacrificial lamb to summon a demon for their own wishes but they did not succeed as the one that summon the demon is Ciel which gave him the opportunity to get revenge for his parents.

The arts of this series is getting defined than the previous two seasons. However, I still prefer the first season's illustration as it looks better and not as bright and light-colored as this new series.

                           From this:  

                               To this:

FUN FACT:  Ciel Phantomhive is actually voiced acted by a female voice actor. So I’m sure that you will be shocked when you heard his voice as his voiced doesn’t sounds like a female at all.

One more thing, the ending songs for these Kuroshitsuji series are my favorites. As they give the listeners a feeling of the despair and emptiness the main characters are feeling.

Thus this concludes my review for this anime, if you want to know more about this anime, you can watched it from this link: http://www.animehere.com/anime/kuroshitsuji-book-of-circus.html

Despite the fact that this is the third series of Kuroshitsuji, it does not have much links with the first two series as this series is adapted from the manga while the first two series have only adapt some parts from the manga and the rest of the storylines are not linked to the manga thus you can watch this series without the knowledge of the previous two. Here is the teaser of this series.

To understand more, check this anime out.

FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood

Synopsis

In a world where alchemist exist, The Elric brothers, Edward and his younger brother Alphonse, are set on a quest to seek the philosopher's stone. It is a stone that greatly empowers one's alchemy ability, to bring back Alphonse's body and Edwards's arm after committing alchemy's greatest taboo, Human Transmutation*. But through their journey, they will face enemies, challenges and conspiracies that will put them in serious danger and push them to their limits. However, they will also meet friends and comrades that will aid them in their quest. A simple quest for a stone will lead them to the truth and the dark side of alchemy. What kind of truth awaits them?


My Review

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is an anime adaptation of the manga "Fullmetal Alchemist". The comedic, action-adventure anime has a good storyline as it is filled with conspiracies and plot twist that will blow your mind. The anime is also filled with memorable fighting scenes and comedic scenes that will make you laugh hard. The flow of the storyline is good as it has sufficient amount of time and episodes to tell the story. I was able to understand the storyline as the details given in the anime was sufficient. However, the anime tends to be “draggy” as it can take up more episodes when it can be told in just a few episodes. Despite it being “draggy”, the fighting scenes and comedic scenes makes the anime much better. Overall, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a good anime with a great storyline and I would highly recommend you to watch, especially teenagers. I rate this anime 8.5 / 10.


*Human transmutation is to bring back a person from the dead by using alchemy.

Detective Conan

Detective Conan

This anime has been ongoing for a long time. You may even feel ridiculous; why are these old grandfather stories still ongoing? The anime have started since 1994, three year before I was born. At the start of the series, the main character was being poison and he shrunk as a result. This anime is mainly about the person who is Conan (the kid) attempt to return to Kudo (the teenager), which is his true form.

In my opinion, this anime was a very good example of a detective genre anime. The writer successfully writes the plot in a way how the mystery was created, the process of the crime and reasoning of who the murderer is. The writer have to consider the way to explaining the process of the crime and the way to do it is to proof who is the culprit is. However, it is a bit sad. I believe that there is a rush to create the episodes. The writer have slight neglect the motive of the crime. The reasoning of the motive of the crime is not too well developed and did not fully explain the background stories. That is what I personally feel sad about.

Looking at the anime from the first episode to the latest one, it is like walking down the path of the animation from ancient technology in the 1990’s to now. At that time, the animation and quality are not as good as now.

They also have movies and special Sunday episodes which are also fairly enjoyable to watch. The anime is pretty long as there are many years of episodes. The movie and the specials are much better compared to the normal episodes as the explanation is better and clearer. Overall, the anime is best in the plot except for certain parts of it and animation style is slowly improving.

Clannad After Story

Clannad After Story is an anime that comes from Clannad (one of recommended anime mentioned previously). After Story simply means that what happens to each character after they have somewhat graduated from high school. However, the main characters are still Nagisa and Tomoya (Okazaki). They are now a married couple and this anime shows how they go about their life. Of course it is not like how ordinary marriages work. It still has many hilarious, touching and sad moments.

My favourite part is when Tomoya finally accepts what he denies for a long time. It feels like he just overcome a huge barrier of life. About what this obstacle is, you will have to watch the anime to find out. However, this anime is still quite confusing. It all comes to light at the last episode. It is impossible to skip an episode as each episode links to each other. It just would not be complete without all the episodes. If you asked me whether I prefer Clannad or Clannad After Story, I will say both are awesome! The reason being that 2 anime feels like a whole. You cannot watch Clannad After Story without watching Clannad, vise versa. Therefore, I have recommended Clannad and Clannad After Story, both of them for you to watch.

I personally would rate it 12/10. The animation may look very unrealistic. Super big eyes and sparkling like stars. But the story line, the plot is just too good that it made me ignore how the animation is like. The characters are very cute as well especially Okazaki couple! Watch this anime right now! Stop everything now, procrastinate or whatever! Just watch this particular anime right now! :D

Log Horizon

Log Horizon

Watched Sword Art Online(SAO)? Prefer less romance but more in-depth game detail type of anime? Then Log Horizon is an anime that you should watch. It has the same genre as the “Highly liked” Sword Art Online but only with less Romance, Harem and Drama. Difference between Log Horizon to Sword Art Online is that its storytelling base is more towards the game and society itself. Characters and the game’s world itself are explained in more detail than SAO.

Story: 9/10

The Story is based around the same as SAO, A large number of people being trapped in an online game and being unable to log out and return to the real world. BUT!. Players who die in the game will not die but revived in the last visited town they were in. Once the players figured that out, they started living in the game normally and act as though nothing can go against them. The Main Protagonist, Along with his team, starts to discover strange thing that happens to the society of the world they live in now. There were problems that occured in the society. Stealing, Discrimination, Abuse cases were all caused by different players inside the game. Thus, the story is about how the main protagonist solves all these problems and fixes the rules in the society that people can once again live well and be safe in the game.

Characters: 7.5/10

The Characters in the game were all diversed as expected in such multiplayer game. There are many different players with different classes till you can hardly see 2 of the same type of class characters together. The Main Protagonist’s Personality and character design matches him very well. He is a smart , scheming and one of the best strategic person you will ever want to be. Although there is character development in some characters of the anime, there is not really much difference and development from start to the end.

Animation and sound : 8/10
There is nothing much i could say about the animation and sound. But that does not mean it is badly animated. The Setting and character designs were great and each major character looks different. They also made sure details of vines, and forest-like attributes in the setting of their town. The Magic animation they used also felt great like how normal MMORPG games would be. Sound wise was just….normal… not too bad and not too great.

Enjoyment: 9/10

As a gamer like myself who likes to play MMORPG games, I Enjoyed alot when watching this anime. They do not leave you out on some minor character details such as what the skill this do and what plan was made before the action took place. Is that during fight scenes or a plan being in action, they do not leave you out on what happened and why this happened. They explained it well and clearly. Another thing i liked about this anime is that when i was watching, it makes me feel like I want to live in such place, I wish that such fantasy was real, or at least a game like this was real. The only thing that pulls the enjoyment level down is some of the episodes began to become real slow. I like how they explain the story clearly and slowly but… it slow builds each after each week starts to get boring really fast. But i like well explained details and i was patient enough to watch it through.

Overall :9/10
It is one of my most favourite anime due to its aspects that i have mentioned. The number of characters are alot more, just that i did not want to mention them and want you to find out for yourself when you watch. Animation and sound was not bad but it was not that great either. Story telling was there and able to get you hooked in some of the episodes. But the it could get abit slow for a few episodes especially in the middle. So If you like to watch a gaming anime, with more detailed explanation, SAO with less Romance, do not mind large amount of talking. then i recommend you this anime to watch.

Durarara

Durarara(DRRR)

Hello minna-san, today I will be introducing you Durarara or commonly known as DRRR. It is one of the typical shounen anime, which means it consists of many fighting scenes. This anime features on three high school students when all three of them have their own gang. Firstly, Ryuugamine Mikado. He is a countryside guy who dreams of enjoying the city life. One day, his childhood friend, Kida Masaomi gave him an invitation to move and transfer to his school in Ikebukuro. Masaomi has warned him about people he should not offend in the city: a champion fighter, an informant, and a mysterious gang called Dollars. Nervous from Masaomi's stories, Mikado witnesses an urban legend on his first day in the city, the Headless Rider astride a black motorcycle. From then on, the existence of supernatural cases and a gang called the Yellow Scarf  will rise to the surface, and Ikebukuro will pushed to the breaking point. Want to know what will happen within this anime? Check this anime out.

Personally I feel that this anime is fun and nice to watch as it features the lives of three high schoolers- Masaomi, Mikado and Anri on how they overcome different hardship to be able to protect their beloved.

 Other than these three high schooler, this anime also featured on other characters. My favourite ones would be Orihara Izaya, Heiwajima Shizuo and Kishitani Shinra.

In the show, Shizuo (the guy with blonde hair and wearing a sunglass) tends to throw things like lamp post or more commonly, vending machines at Izaya (the guy with black hair and jacket) every time he sees him. As Shizuo always have a grudge at Izaya ever since they first met each other, due to the fact that Izaya wanted to hurt and killed Shizuo the first time they met, introduced by Shinra (the guy wearing spectacles and a white lab coat). I like these three characters is because Shizuo and Izaya will always be fighting with each other. Their fights sometimes will be very epic, sometimes it will be very funny. For example, there is one scene where Izaya was talking to Masaomi, Mikado and Anri. Suddenly a trash bin was thrown towards him and he flew quite a distance away from the group. This shocked both the characters and me too.

While for Shinra, he is like a joker. But he is very clever too, the rumor about the headless rider is actually his girlfriend. He loves her a lot, which made him act like an idiot in front of his lover.

The voice actors of these characters are able to allow the viewers to understand and feel how the characters feel. As for the songs featured in this show, they are nice too, especially the first ending song title – Trust me which is sung by Yuya Matsushita. The animation of the characters are awesome too, it depicts the emotions of the characters with the help of the voice actors perfectly. This anime is truly awesome, I highly recommend you to go check this anime out.

Accel World

Accel World

Today, I would like to introduce to you a new anime. The genre of this anime are sci-fiction, fantasy and romance. The setting is in a high school. The main character are Haru and Kuroyuriihine, male and female respectively. Haru is a short fat little boy and was frequently bullied by his classmate. In the school network, he feels safe and shows his anger towards the bully by playing squash. He played squash very well. However, one day, he lost a game. It was Kuroyuriihine that won in the match. She was very impressed by his reaction speed and decided to invite him to a game, Brain Burst. It is a Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online (VRMMO).

This anime revolves around Brain Burst. This game has the ability to accelerate a human’s thinking process to a point that it feels like time and space stops. It is very interesting to have the ability to accelerate human brain. I often put myself in the character’s shoes and imagine myself in the game. Perhaps in the future, there will be the Virtual World where people are immersed in it. Not just by living, but by playing and working in it.

The design of the characters are good in general. They used radicals and the lighting to depict the scene and the effect, showing the feelings of the character or the situation. The plot is similar to Sword Art Online. The story also shows the game (VRMMO) in a special way. The way to win to the game is to defeat all the King in the game (all the level 9) to reach level 10. Winning the game is important to Kuroyuriihine as she wants to know the purpose of the game. In her journey towards it, Haru was introduced to the game met her friends and foes. Will she be able to know the purpose of the game? Will she succeed in her finding?

Clannad

Clannad is a very romantic and hilarious anime. The story revolves around this couple, Nagisa and Tomoya. They first met under a tree where Nagisa was reciting a phrase she remembered from her memories. It confused Tomoya but that was the start of how they became friends. The scenery just from there was so beautiful, her voice also suits the background altogether. Nagisa is my favourite character as I feel like she has the funniest and has the most interesting personality that in reality, it would not happen.

However, the story is a little complicated. You will have to watch both Clannad and Clannad After Story to understand it fully. It is a very beautiful anime as it is very meaningful. If you are into literature, this anime will bring you to tears and amuse you as well!

Throughout the anime, the main character and the sub characters will have more character development but their personality will stay the same. This is partially why I love this anime. Enough chit chat here and go watch the anime! It is just too good to put it into words!

Howl's Moving Castle

Howl’s Moving Castle

Synopsis

Sophie, an 18 year old hatter, met a powerful wizard named Howl while on her way to meet her younger Sister Lettie. The Witch of the Waste, who was pursuing Howl as she is in love with him, came to Sophie’s Shop and curse her to become an old lady. Sophie went out to search for her cure and while searching, she stumbled across a scarecrow, in which she named it “Turnip Head”. Turnip Head help her find Howl’s Castle and worked for Howl and Markle (Howl’s assistant) as a cleaning lady. From then on, Sophie’s adventure begins as she travels in Howl’s Castle searching for her cure and helping Howl along the way. Soon, she will know Howl’s deepest secret and the reason behind the war between the neighbouring countries.

My Review


Howl’s Moving Castle was a movie unlike I have ever seen. The movie revolves mainly around Howl and Sophie. Their meeting was and awkward one but as the story progresses, it gets better. It is well told but I felt that the story could be improved, like the ending does not seem right to me as they can tell more about what happen to their lives more after the war. On the other hand, the movie also had some comedic scene but they tend to be forgotten by viewers easily. Other than the well planned storyline, the music of the movie is also spectacular as a wide variety of background music was used which makes the movie more exciting to viewers. Overall, Howl’s Moving Castle is a spectacular romance – adventure anime movie and I really recommend watching this anime movie. I rate Howl’s Moving Castle 8/10.

Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!?

Doing something different today. I will be reviewing an ongoing anime called,Rokujouma no Shinryakusha.

 Rokujouma no Shinryakusha (Invaders of the Rokujouma) Is a fun to watch, comedic anime. This anime is currently on-going this season(Summer 2014) and this review is created just after watching 3 episodes of the anime. So this review will only be about the first 3 episodes of the anime. At first look this anime, it felt like it was those type of animes where you watch just for the laughter and ridiculous situations. I was right ^^

Story 7/10

This story goes around a group of people. A human, a ghost, an underground lady, an alien and a Magical Rainbow Girl. The human named Satomi, Koutarou had to live in a Rokujouma(a 6-Tatami floored Apartment) on a budget of 5000yen a month. On a bright side, he gets rent free from living in the apartment. But on a down side, He meets different people who wants to invade his apartment. So in order to settle who gets the room calmly without damaging the room due to the landlord, they play different games to see who will get the room. So during their adventure of playing their own created games, much mischief, crazy-ness and insanity happens.

Animation and sound 7/10
All i can say is… it is decent and understandable. nothing too appealing and nothing too extremely well.

Characters 7/10

Each character of the main characters have different personalities and characteristics which makes it more fun to watch. I cant say anything much about the character development cause i only watched the first 3 episodes so… the most i can say is, The characters are well diversed. I mean.. you have a ghost, a magical girl, an underground lady and an Alien who looks like a human. How diverse can this get??? of course unless you add in a zombie.

Enjoyment 8/10

It was funny to watch even the first 3 episodes. I love to watch crazy situations and this surely fulfills them. Im not too hyped to watch the next episodes but i want to watch more crazy shenanigans that will come up as the story unfolds.

Overall 7.5

I can only give this low as i have yet to watch the entire thing and i cant cause… its not released yet. But after watching the 3 episodes, i wouldn mind watching more of the anime. Its enjoyable and crazy. If you have like watched Kore wa Zombie Desuka, then im sure you will like to watch this anime as well.

Brother Conflict

Brother Conflict

Hi, it’s me again. This time I will be introducing you another reverse harem anime. And that would be …… Brothers Conflict. I bet most of you already know and watched this anime, but for those who do not know about this anime, I will tell you more about it and hopefully able to make you fall in love with this anime series.

Brother Conflict is about a girl named Ema Hinata who is clueless, easily embarrassed, independent, innocent and caring. One day, she learnt that her father is going to remarry. Not wanting her father and her stepmother to worry about her, Ema decided to move in with her soon-to-be stepmother’s mansion, or known as Sunrise Resident to stay with her 13 soon-to-be stepbrothers. (that’s a lot of them isn't it) However because of her sudden appearance into their daily lives, it sparks some sort of ‘feelings’ inside her stepbrothers’ heart. Will it be love or just normal feelings siblings have towards each other? You will know it after watching the anime.

Well, I personally love this anime as there are so many hot and handsome guys in this anime like your usual reverse harem anime. ( I did not say young as the characters age range from 31 years old to 10 years old) I love the twins especially, their names are Tsubaki and Azusa both of them are so alike and they always do things together however, there is one time that they had fight in the anime ( if you want to find out why they fight, watch the anime and you will be able to find out) but I love Azusa more as he has a very sweet voice and personality.  By the way, he is voice acted by Toriumi Kosuke (aka Kiba Inuzuka in Naruto).

The voice actors have given the characters life as they brought out their personalities very well. In addition, every episodes will have short clips that features on Ema and two or three of the stepbrothers, Ema will always say “That was us, siblings.” These clips are confusing at first, but eventually I understand the meanings of these clips. They are emotional and romantic at the same time. But except for one episode, the expression that Ema made and the background sound effect made it hilarious. Oh, there is one more character that I have not introduced to you. And that would be Ema’s pet squirrel named Juli. He is a very cute and funny character, he is quite clever and very protective of Ema, but whenever he thinks that the stepbrothers would do bad things to Ema, he will go berserk and not think about other stuffs but only wanting to protect Ema.

There are awkward and special moments that would make you laugh at their expressions. For example:

Similar to Kamigami No Asobi, this anime does not have a definite ending too, however it did give a cliffhanger…. but what kind of cliffhanger? If want to know more about this anime, then go watch it or put it into your waiting list.
