tenchi gxp - animation - 6, characters - 6, plot - 6, enjoyment - 6 - 6

Tenchi Muyo! GXP: Galaxy Police Transporter, released in Japan in 2002, goes back to the original Tenchi Muyo! OVA timeline. However this time the main character of this 26-episode TV series is Seina Yamada, a spin off of Tenchi Masaki who is forced by his family to join the Galaxy Police.

My review: GXP is at a best an average anime; it brings nothing new to the table..But let’s be honest here it’s pretty much the same as Tenchi; there’s a clueless wonder who is adored by beautiful women once again. Lightning doesn’t strike twice. And why is this 26 episodes long when you can guess there’s no character development just a whole lot of fanservice and while this would be great if there was a solid plot to back it up there isn’t. Though I did like Seina this was just the wrong place to showcase his talents in.

Rozen Maiden: Traumend: animation - 6, characters - 5, plot - 4, enjoyment - 4 -4

plot line: As summer break arrives for the students, Jun Sakurada is busily studying on his own in the library, making up for time lost while he had confined himself to his home. Meanwhile, his Rozen Maiden doll, Shinku, has been having troubling dreams of late. The pain and sadness of defeating Suigintou was overwhelming, despite the inevitable battle they waged. After waking suddenly from a nightmare, she finds Suigintou’s companion spirit wandering; upon giving chase, she discovers that the seventh Doll– Barasuishou– has awakened. She now realizes that Suigintou’s fate may very well befall the other Dolls, for the appearance of the last Doll signals the beginning of the end of the Alice Games.

my review: I tried my hardest to get into it but it’s not like the 1st one; it’s a messed up storyline and even the beginning didn’t latch me in because I felt like these weren’t the same characters.

this was taken from the LJ’s writer block thing on January 2nd 2009

Many people believe that what you do on New Year’s Day sets the tone for your entire year. How did you spend the first day of 2009? Do you think it will influence the rest of the year?

I’ll admit it I got drunk it was new years..I woke up the next day completely out of space and mind and I don’t remember what I did exactly. I hope it doesn’t influence what I do the rest of the year otherwise I’d be staying at home out of my head lol.

rozen maiden - animation - 10, story - 10, characters - 10, enjoyment - 10.

plot:  Due to a deep trauma at school Sakurada Jun has refused to return. He spends his time in his room, surfing the web and ordering anything that takes his fancy, only to return the items just before payment is due. One day, he finds a web site that tells him to put his order in a drawer of his desk. He does so thinking it to be a joke, only to find that the letter disappears and a strange package arrives soon afterwards. It contains an exquisite doll, that, when wound, comes to life. She treats him as a servant of little worth, but over time helps him come to grips with his fears and in the life-or-death fights that soon follow her arrival.

my review: I didn’t expect myself to like Rozen Maiden but there was some serious interest in it that i could not ignore; i pretty much adored all of the characters who came on screen besides sousuiseki, I would reconmend it to anyone with high hopes of them getting into it too.

When my boyfriend bought final fantasy 7 crisis core for the PSP I knew there would be no way for me not to play it; the fact that I  had fell madly in love with Final Fantasy 7 makes the game all the more appealing.

plot: The game mainly focuses around Zack Fair, a 2nd Class SOLDIER, and the events leading up to his destined demise. He meets many of the Final Fantasy VII characters, including Cloud Strife and Aerith Gainsborough, with whom he develops strong bonds. The game’s storyline takes the player from the war with the Wutai to the events at Nibelheim, and right up to the time just before the Final Fantasy VII beginning. Some of the missing events or plot holes from Nibelheim and afterwards are explained in the animated feature, Last Order: Final Fantasy VII. (That’s the basic plot without giving any spoilers into it)

My review: Most people will compare this to final fantasy 7 usually because they think long behold the remake of final fantasy 7 has come out. Crisis Core is a good RPG as far as I am concerned; it’s challenging which I like and yet also pretty straightforward and easy to follow. I like Zack a lot more than Cloud though and I like Aerith as a side character rather than a main character because when she’s in your party she tends to get weaker and weaker..Probably the only character I didn’t like was Genesis just because I want to kill him because of how weak of a person he is; I didn’t like Sepithroth so naturally I won’t like Genesis because they’re about the same. I also enjoyed doing missions before doing the actual mission so my character would be so overpowered that when attacking an enemy on a mission I could hit them in sometimes under 5 hits

What I didn’t like about it is that it’s extremely short for a final fantasy title also I am really not fond of the digital mind wave as far as materia is concerned because leveling it up is a pain in general..Also as far as a Final Fantasy title goes it’s one of the easier ones to play.

So get it if you’ve played at least some of Final Fantasy 7  or had done research on the story so at least when you’re playing it you’ll know what it’s about.

romeo x juilet: animation - 2, story - 1, characters - 2, enjoyment - 1; 1

This is a story of a young and tragic love, set in the aerial city of Neo Verona. Tyranny rules this island in the sky after the Montague family took control 14 years prior. The disparity among the wealthy and poor is apparent in the present state, the earth dries and water stagnates. The sky itself is wrapped in a deep dense fog. Both Romeo and Juliet’s lineages are of present and past ruling families of Neo Verona. Romeo is the son of the current Montague dictator, Juliet (a beautiful woman) masquerades as a man (Odin), she’s the last descendent of Capulet the previous rulers who were killed by an assasin’s dagger 14 years ago. Her true background is not to be revealed to her until her 16th birthday. The cruel hands of fate introduces 2 people who will become “Star Crossed Lovers”.

The animation was probably the best part and I liked juilet but the fact that this is an anime on a play kind of makes for a predictable story. Sorry I wasn’t into romeo and juilet enough to watch an anime about it.

Build Your Own Television Christmas Special
Remember those old television Christmas specials, filled with variety, song, and Christmas spirit? Well now it’s time to make your own. There is considerable freedom in this meme but I will list a few points that do need to be covered:
1. Host:
2. At least one comedy act
3. At least one musical act
You also get a wildcard time machine which means one act in your show can be bussed in from any time and place, but we don’t want the entire show filled with dead people so remember to limit this to one act!
Everything else is up to you! Enjoy!

now here’s my answer:  the monkees here’s the catch they’re their own comedy and musical act yes an all monkees hour XD and while i am at it I will add David Bowie and Bing Cosby singing a new christmas song and I would make Jon Stewart host
