Ponyo

Anime Movie Suggestion - Ponyo of the Earth and Sea

An Adventurous Film Created By Hayao Miyazaki

During a forbidden journey to the surface world, a goldfish princess (Yuria Nara) becomes more and more human-like after befriending a village boy.

From a mini critic's perspective: Okay, first things first, let me just say that I have watched this classic anime movie almost 50 times and I LOVE it. Ponyo along with the rest of the characters you meet during the movie are extremely friendly and have mysteriously amazing personalities. You will certainly be amazed at the beautiful illustration of the scenery surrounding every moment captured by the director using its characters. This is one of the most COLORFUL films I have ever reviewed and enjoy the hints of humor sprinkled throughout. The many themes and messages that can be defined in every anime related to childhood is nowhere near the extensive effort put into this film to express imagination through fantasy and some drama. It also shows childhood joy and the glory of the world and not the the over protectively caused bad part of it; from the perspective of unordinary children.One of the events that may be unclear to some people is that within her adventures, she fall in love with the village boy but later on her father(a sorcerer) is not pleased whatsoever due to his protective nature. Although we know typical movies and not just anime have girls who are brokenhearted by breakups or cheating situations, some having mothers or fathers saying "I told you so,". But, this reason in particular is so that she does not get hurt by the human feelings and not regret either. (Think about it)In addition, a somewhat hidden resemblance with Ponyo's desire to be a human being to the balance of the world and its content, adds some natural dramatic substance that lead to an important climax in the movie.The film gives you a whiff of experience beginning to feel almost like you are able to dive through a strange and beautiful world rather than merely watching it off of a screen. You will even feel that the film aims to flow at the pace of real life. In all, this movie tends to make one wish they could create their own character to live in this storyline and be happy as they are after the movie(me after almost every anime). In conclusion, Ponyo will always remain a childhood favorite, is a joy to watch, and can be described as a fascinating, heartwarming, and a gem shining bright to catch your attention that never fails to please. This is one heck of a calm movie that I would definitely recommend you to watch. If this is of any concern, it is for the eyes of all ages from children and up!

My Neighbor Totoro

              Anime MovieSuggestion - 
                My Neighbor Totoro

A mysterious film created by Miyazaki Hayao
     
Two sisters encounter magnificent spirit creatures in the woodland forest near the house they have just recently moved into. Mei, being the youngest sister, is just as adventurous as her older sibling. They both do almost everything together and love to explore! Satsuki, being the eldest sibling, tries to stay as mature as possible around the house; cleanib, cooking, etc. Watch this anime movie to see the peaceful Kusakabe's adjust to the scenery of helpful spirits!

From a mini critic's perspective: Personally, this is one of the movies I regret not having enough time to watch over and over again. I have only watched it like 3 times but I really LOVE this movie. It visually describes a siblings' constant relationship in every scene,comprehends an extremely understandable theme, and does not include much any drama caused by villains or bad guys that disrupt the movie.
Even greater, this movie is released towards the audience of everyone and no content whatsoever could ever be described as inappropriate, for your mindly sake. In addition, this adds to the many anime soundtracks that I have fallen in love with. Call me weird but whenever I am about to blog, write a story, draw, etc. my main source of inspiration is MUSIC! As for peaceful anime, I always go on youtube and search for their classic soundtracks when its not the latest hit tracks today. But thats enough about me XD 
Many of the outdoor scenes that appear frequently through the film are very beautiful and well illustrated. Not to mention, the fact that plenty of anime I can name have horrible english dubs, this one has fairly well picked voices fit for the characters!
Speaking of characters, every character you can name whether or not they are a humungous part of the storyline, are very likable and friendly.
In all, this was a fantastic and peaceful film if I may say and I would definitely recommend it to all of you Otakus reading this!

Negima!

Anime Suggestions - #MRR
Negima!






Negi Springfield, a young boy with magical powers and a special staff, is sent on a challenging quest in order to continue his training. For him to fulfill his mission, he relocates to Mahora academy and teaches English to 31 female students who all seem to have the likes for him. Awaiting action and misery, the darkness starts to lurk closer to the students and unaware staff. Hopefully, with the help of his fellow friends, Negi will be able to stop them and protect those he loves. Will he be able to work with all these teenage girls? Watch the anime or read the manga to find out!

From a mini critic's perspective: This was a fairly decent anime because it was colorful and always introduced you to new characters with deep personalities that were quite well thought in my opinion. Each persona contributed to the story and was not just a "Hello, Im Here Now Forget About Me Because I Have Nothing To Do With This Storyline" kind of character. At first when I was reading the manga I was thinking about how unique it was to choose a young child to teach older girls in an anime show as well. This allowed the concept to be very different from others and probably attracted more of an audience. 
The anime was more bright than the original but I must say that the voices could be improved. At some points they were a bit too lousy and unreasonable and at some points they were perfect for the scene. Overall, from a reader/watcher's perspective I can say that Negima is a recommended anime to view and a manga to read.
I'm sorry this was a short review but I guess that would just make you want to experience it for yourself even more :)

Ai Yori Aoshi

Anime Suggestions - Ai Yori Aoshi
(Bluer Than Indigo)

 Kaoru Hanabishi just had a desire to help, and Aoi Sakuraba was just desperate to find her first love. They never realized they were looking for each other. Ever since their arranged marriage 18 years ago, Aoi had been in love with Kaoru. She had learned that the marriage was canceled after she visited Tokyo to see him. Although, Kaoru becomes impressed by Aoi's loyalty, beauty, and innocence. In effect of his thoughts, and to accept her affection, he realizes he might return to the Hanabishi clan while tolerating the emotional and physical pain as he did during his childhood. Watch while both their love and self-control is put to the test once she moves in and he attempts to maintain his gentlemanliness.

From a Mini Critic's Perspective: One thing that can be said about Ai Yori Aoshi is that it is sorta Half-and-Half. One part of it aims to be a dramatic romance, serious-toned, with a pinch of comedy, relating to some other anime or manga. As for the other part, aims to be an "All Girls Against The Amount Of One Guy" complication like Love Hina by Ken Akamatsu(author of Negima!). Those differences aside, Kaoru and Aoi are wonderfully thoughtful characters. A lot of viewers think about how perfect Aoi seems, taking the role of the landlord, cooking/serving dinner, cleans, is optimistic about every task, very obedient, and so on. However, like us real human beings, each and every character is more complex on the inside than we let on. Stresses overwhelm many, including Aoi. Let alone the fact that she was bred to be the model wife for a man who will soon run her family's conglomerate. Every now and then Aoi comes to her senses and focuses on being an especially helpful wife to Kaoru and not just a plain trophy wife that we all think of.
Importantly, the two head characters have complicated families, which destined their relationship even more. This also cleared up the fact that they both(EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD) need someone in their life to give them the support they need. Which leads to the next detail...
The relationship described in this particular anime is all emotional, awkward, bittersweet, thoughtful, as well as curiosity-causing. Although its not one easy to describe, its great seeing the couple wander as individuals, and achieving much more than the hurt they have experienced, through each other. This couple is one of the very few that defines reality and not just kissy-kissy, grabby-grabby, cartoony stuff.

Also, in difference to the *now and then* minor sidetracking of the show, as problems and new characters are thrown in the couple finds out more about each other and can easily identify their fate. There is a lot more to the story and more I would write in this review but unfortunately it is something one cannot ever describe in just one day. Never to go into depth within a century either. I hope you will choose to watch this tempting anime that gives almost anyone a feeling of fun and easy understanding.

Spreading Smiles

Spreading Smiles

 

Wanna help spread some smiles? Love making your family, friends, and acquaintances happy? Well, here is one way. A small gesture such as a note describing 
what you appreciate about them can really make people feel special. Whether or not you think you are a horrible writer to the death, its the thought that counts, the effort you put into it, and the love it came from. If you are still unsure, practice if you want!
One of my best friends gave me a note with a drawing that said what they loved about me and how happy they are to be my friend and I felt so special, and invincible. 
It made me feel like riding along on a shooting star :)
Try it out!

Sword Art Online

   Anime Suggestion - Sword Art Online! (SAO)



In this futuristic anime, a virtual reality game called Sword Art Online is released. Using a brand new technology by the name of Nerve Gear, players can control their avatars using their own minds, and experience the world of Aincrad to the fullest. However, challenges become extremely deadly when the creator of the game locks everyone out of the real world by hijacking every Nerve Gear device so that if you are disturbed physically or mentally, you will die in real life. For example, if your parents or siblings were to unleash you from the Nerve Gear to remind you its dinnertime, you would die. Or if a beast within the game kills you, you'd be in the same situation. Although, there is a way out. In order to earn their freedom, the players must clear the 100th floor and defeat the final boss. Make sure you check out this amazing, action-packed, sci-fi fantasy anime that is full of adventure!

Maximum Ride

Manga Suggestion - The Maximum Ride Series

This is a highly recommended series for all who love to read manga!

What is it about?
 Just keep reading:

Maximum Ride can fly and feel the breeze in the earth's atmosphere. She and all of the members that belong in her flock: Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman(Gazzy), and Angel are considered the average kids. Except for the fact that they are fused with avian DNA of course, which allows them to fly with their own wings! You might think that this experience is a dream come true, but for the flock, it is a living nightmare. When the dreadful laboratory they know as the "School" starts threatening them, challenging them, and torturing them, they have no choice but to fight back with all they got. Plus, Fang and Max's relationship starts to clog up her leadership skills more than they need to.
Can the flock survive? Read the series to find out.



Find it at your local Barnes & Nobles

Search For It On Amazon

Or Get It At Your Local Library!

How did I find this awesome series?
I first discovered this series when I was taking a dreadful test in my school library on the computers. When I finished I browsed their selections and found the manga shelves. Once I touched the spines, I knew it was something I couldn't pass up. So I checked out the first two books and read them within 2 days. By then I was up to Book 5, and recommended it to my friends. They loved it as well! Once I finished the series up to Book 8, I was hungry for more :D
