Naruto has just finished 9 seasons, it has been many years since Naruto first aired! It was back in 2002 but it feels much longer then that. There are have been many climaxes in this series with Naruto and his friends. Some very dramatic scenes where you got pulled into and some very comedic ones. I find a lot of the music very nostalgic especially from season 9. Some people have said there have been too many fillers in the series, but I disagree I think they were just creating different storylines to develop Naruto and his friends. I have been watching this anime for years and I hope for more years to come.
Now the story starts with Naruto coming back from his two year training and everybody looks like they have matured, I’m extremely excited about watching it and seeing more episodes. There is a lot more to the story now, and each one of them has developed as well as Naruto, and Naruto has more enemies in front of him now. The stories in the dark are slowly unfolding so it will get very interesting. I know there will be some entertaining stories and then there will be the deep stories that will unfold. I can’t wait for the next episode.

I dont think there is game series with more fans then Final Fantasy and so most everyone is very familiar with the different story lines and the complexity of the ideas behind it. I remember playing Final Fantasy with my cousin on PS one until morning light during the weekend, we had many sleepless nights because of it. This follows Cloud after a big event has taken place, even a person who doesn’t follow the series will extremely enjoy this animation. A few years back the Life Force attacked the earth and so only ruins were left but people survived, but people were hurt from the Geostigma. And its seems Cloud is also affected by this Geostigma, there doesn’t seem to be a cure for this. Then things get hectic because three unknown men show up who are powerful and they are looking for the remenents of Jenova, so they can find what they are looking for. The story line is simple enough to follow but if you had all the background information it would be even better. The one thing about this whole animation is the beauty of the animation itself, and the amazing battle scenes. This animation wraps up the story line and answers questions while being one the CG animations I have ever seen.

Plot Summary: Tenchi Masaki was a normal 17-year old boy until the day he accidentally releases the space pirate, Ryoko from a cave she was sealed in 700 years ago as the people thought she was a demon. In a series of events, four other alien girls show up at the Masaki household as Tenchi learns much of his heritage he never knew about and deal with five alien girls who each have some sort of romantic interest in him.
Tenchi is one the first anime’s I was watching back in the early 90s, and it has a special spot for me. For those who don’t know Tenchi was just a normal kid, but had an extraordinary backgroun that he doesn’t even know about. And slowly each one of these women that surround him is attracted to him and wants to stay with him. He think he is just normal, but he has other powers to protect his friends and family. This anime just really brings back good memories and this specific series of Tenchi Muyo wraps up the whole series by answering a lot of the questions you have during all the series, and it explains a lot of the reasons why they are all there, but it isn’t an ending really but a satisfying explanation. I think I’m going to purchase the whole series after watchin this, it really brought back good memories of an extremely entertaining, but you should be familiar with the Tenchi Series to watch this.

Plot Summary: A small village is being persecuted by robbers who return every harvest to seize the village’s crops. Faced with starvation, the villagers send out a mission to find and recruit some samurai to defend them. With no pay to offer except rice, and knowing full well that only down-on-their-luck samurai would even consider accepting such an deal, the villagers can only hope that their saviours will appear before the rice is ready for harvest.
You get pulled in by the story of these Samurai, at a time when there no longer were real Samurai. A Samurai isn’t someone who can just weild a sword but someone with honor and strength of character. This anime is nothing short of fantastic and it draws you in with the attention to detail, great sound track, fantastic character development and so much more. Its a great combination of CGI and animation to make a very beautiful anime to view, and the story line keeps you wanting more. I was mesmorized by this anime and I couldn’t stop watching it. It was one of those anime’s that I was saddened that it had come to an end and I really wanted to see more. For an anime it was very realistic, and their were parts where you wish it didn’t happen but thats how reality is, somethings are out of your control. I can’t recommend it enough to any anime fan, it will appeal to all.

Karas is anime the way God intended: a heady mix of incomprehensible plotting and visual spectacle. Set in the modern day Shinjuku area of Tokyo, the story follows young, skeptical cop Kure Narumi as he joins the Observation Department set up to monitor multi-dimensional demon crime. You still following me?
A battle is taking place between Otoha—the good guy, who is a Karas, or guardian of the people of Tokyo who can take the form of a crow-like flying ninja—and Ekou, the bad guy, who used to be a Karas until he decided that he wanted to take over the world. Muddying the water is Nue, a Mikura (demon) in human form, who once sided with Ekou but is now a renegade, hunting down other Mikura.
This is one hell of a mixed up anime, so fast paced that when its done you really have that confused look on yourself. This movie is an extreme mix of 2D and 3D animation with amazing battle scenes. So much detail has been put into the animation its amazing. The story wasn’t the concentration of the Director when creating this anime, but the animation and attention to detail is key to this story. This is the type of anime which leaves you thinking at the end of it, its very entertaining and fast paced. Your left at the end of it thinking about the whole thinking, but its a visual festival to say the least.

Plot Summary: Okajima Rokuro is a Japanese businessman…in a town full of Japanese businessmen. His normal day consists of social drinking with clients and being kicked around by his bosses. He finally gets a break though, as he’s sent by his company to the tropical seas of Eastern China to deliver a disc…only his boat gets hijacked by a band of mercenaries hired to retrieve the disc. “Rock†(as he is newly dubbed by his captors) catches the interest of the only female merc “Revyi†as she thinks he’s worth a ransom, taking him hostage. However, the disc that was stolen has a terrible secret that’s unknown to Rock, which causes massive confusion and chaos for both him…and his kidnappers.
Villains among villains what kind of people would turn out that way and how do they operate in the real world. This is what Black Lagoon brings to you and things just keep getting more and more volatile. Rock is the normal japanese guy who through fate joins the Black Lagoon company. They work as a devliery company in the south east seas and they deal with all kinds of people. With all the different criminal organizations they deal with Rock is still not a Villain and that is something refreshing around there, but there is something inside of him and he opens up his eyes to his world. This is one anime with complex characters and each one has their story. Revy is the nut case in the group who pretty much wants to kill and has the skills to do it, and the way she interacts with Rock is hilarious, but I really do like how this anime developed and the whole story.

Plot Summary: Seina is unlucky, so unlucky that when he stumbles upon a recruiter looking for his senpai Tenchi he gets taken instead. Forced into the Galaxy police, his luck begins to change. A natural to randomly jumping near pirates, he is assigned his own decoy to draw out pirates. His luck brings him into the lives of four women who have a habit of cancelling out his bad luck, turning it into good. Armed with this luck, they pilot the most powerful ships in the Tenchi Universe to defeat the Barta pirates. Now the only uncertainty is whether the sexy Kanak, a former model turned GXP officer, sturdy Kiriko, who has known Seina for years, the mysterious Ryoko, a former pirate named after the legendary one, or the childish Neiju, a powerful witch, will win Seina.
This is one funny anime with Seina stuck in the middle of it. Everyone revolves around Seina and they are pulled to him because of his honesty, kindness, and shyness. And there is one thing following him around which is his bad luck putting him all kinds of funny situations. He is Tenchi’s cousin so he sees him in the anime, but no big part. His life revolves around the Galaxy Police and his life with the girls that are always around him. It is a great fun anime with a good story line, if you want an anime which will make you laugh and the story will pull you in then I recommend this anime because you can’t help but feel sorry and envy Seina at the same time. Spaceships, battles, embarrassing situations, and more is what makes this anime great!

Plot Summary: Tatsumiyajima is the central island in the middle of a small cluster of islands, in a sleepy backwater of the Japanese isles. Not much happens there, and the island’s young people go to school knowing that their lives are likely to remain peaceful and undisturbed. Or so they have been taught… but the truth is different. The fate of mankind is on the line, and Tatsumiyajima is the last line of defense against a hostile and incomprehensible enemy. At the center of it all, fighting for Humanity’s continued existence, is the giant robot Fafner, the dragon that guards this final treasure of mankind.
Fafner starts into the lives of people on Tatsumiya Island and it seems everything is normal Phesdum arrive to attack them. The children of the Island dont realize that Japan was wiped out a long time ago, and then reality slowly shown to them. They have to fight to protect their dream of peace, and they must make the enemy understand and accept them to survive. It is a very interesting story about the children of this Island and what they are trying to do. There is a lot of mecha anime involved in this as well as a good dose of science fiction. I really liked how the story was being developed towards the end, but it was a bit annoying in the middle. Overall I did like the story because the pace got better and the story became clearer. This is an enjoyable anime overall.

Plot Summary: Haruhi is a poor tomboyish student at a school for the ultra-wealthy, able to attend because of a scholarship, and unable to even afford a uniform. One day, she stumbles across the decidedly peculiar but very popular Ouran Host Club. She tries to leave, but accidentally breaks a vase, and unable to pay for it, she’s told that she’ll have to stay and do odd jobs. That is, until they decide she would be more valuable as a club member. Not realizing she’s female due to her appearance, they fix her up and give her a male uniform. She’s an instant hit, so they decide to have her keep up the charade even after they find out the truth. Haruhi, being average almost to a fault, doesn’t know what to make of the unconventional activities of the Host Club (or of the even more unconventional members), but having little choice, she plays along. Before long, real bonds are formed, friends made, and Haruhi finds herself accepted in a way she could never have been otherwise in this affluent school.
I have to say that I wasn’t sure about this anime when I first read about it. It’s about a social club setup by the elite of the Ouran Highschool which is made up by the richest and most powerful children. This anime revolves around the Host Club at Ouran Highschool, and Haruhi who is a regular person who got accept into this prestigious school by a grant and she turns them all upside down. For the longest time they think she is a guy and I have to say that this is one of the funniest and heartfelt anime that I have seen in a long time. In the beginning it pulls you in at the beginning with its amazing comedy and satire, you just can’t get enough of it. And as the story goes a long you see the connection between Tamaki – The Idiot Leader, Kyouya – the Shadow King, Honey – Tiny Fighter, Miro – The Quite One, and the Twins. And Haruhi thrown in between all these characters you just won’t get enough of it, I have to say that I haven’t seen an anime that has gotten my blood going like this one to the point where I wanted to watch it all in one go.

He goes through many hardships after joining the syndicate but he is willing to risk everything as long as he can be close to Maria.
Gungrave is anime that you really get pulled into because of all the complex relationships and fast paced action. This anime revolves around Brandon Heat, Maria (the girl he is protectin), and Harry McDowel of Millennion. Brandon is the faithful friend who would protect his friend with his life, and he even sacrificed himself to become the soldier to protect the girl from his old best friend who is trying to kill her to have complete control of the syndicate. Brandon will everything in his power to protect Maria from the Millennion. By the time you finish with the anime you wish it didn’t finish, you feel attached to the characters, it such a good story, plotline, and characters that you really get tied into them and attached to the story. You get emmeresed in this great work, and once its done you still want more from it. This is one anime that I can’t recommend enough to people to watch.
