Natsume Yuujinchou


Now, i actually started watching this anime on a whim. But holy shit this anime is unexpectedly good. The plots are episodic and the episodes mostly give off a very bittersweet feeling. There are many times in the anime where i teared up and honestly, i can tell you that Natsume yuujinchou is one of my favourites.

The animation is, for a lack of a better word, very relaxing ad mellow. I always felt peaceful while watching episode after episode, and it almost felt as if i was floating through the entire first season. All the characters are very likable and the main character, i feel, is very easy to relate to. He suffers from insecurities like all of us and the anime shows him growing mentally, overcoming his inner demons and learning many things from his experience with the Youkai.

Plot: Episodic and each episode is very relaxing. 9/10

Characters: Both side and main characters are likable and provides good comedic relief. 9/10

Op and ed: Both are extremely relaxing and in a way hopeful. 10/10 

Recommended: Great for those looking for a relaxing anime. For those who dislike episodic plots, stay away. 5/5

Edge of Tomorrow


Frankly i don't know what made me write this but i can tell you now that this movie is easily one of the best i've seen in 2014 so far. Edge of tomorrow is one of those movies where i cannot forget, even after i left the cinema, the story is still running over and over in my head.

I think that they did a great job of making this movie based on the source material; a light novel named All You Do Is Kill. The characters connect with the audience seamlessly and i felt genuinely amused by Major Cage's situation and also felt his despair when the movie went on. I hope this movie comes out on blu-ray because it is freaking awesome and i will definitely buy it.
