30 Day Drawing Challenge: Day 9

Day 9: Favorite TV Show

These are three of the main characters from my favorite anime, Fullmetal Alchemist. It used to air on Adult Swim here in the States, and I believe it's successor, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is still being shown on the same network.

Anime Review: The World God Only Knows

This anime is wacky, in a pretty awesome kind of way. The premise of the show is this: a gamer kid named Keima who is completely obsessed with visual novels is one day introduced to an angel/devil thing named Elsie. She explains to him there are thousands of "lost souls" out there and that he needs to help her find them and set them free for some reason or another. To do this, he must find the girl possessed by the lost spirit and make her fall in love, the spirit only being released once they kiss.

From the plot it may sound slightly generic, but the heart and soul of anime is within Keima's genius ability to make virtually any girl he wants fall in love with him brought on by his extensive past as a dating-sim video game player. This leads to all sorts of crazy situations and some very laughable dialogue. As the series goes on, you find out just how much of a genius Keima Katsuragi really is.

That being said, the story is, while slightly generic, definitely entertaining enough to keep you watching. The jokes are funny, the characters are interesting, and the pacing is done almost perfectly. The animation and music are pretty good too, and while there aren't really too many memorable tracks, there's certainly enough *umph* to the show to get you wrapped up in the moment. I give "The World God Only Knows" an 8/10. (this is a rating on both of the two seasons out btw, they're pretty much the same as far as quality goes.)

Sonic the Hedgehog...

... in a Progessive commercial?



Huh... Didn't see that one coming.

A few things...

Remember that From Dust game I posted about on here a few months ago? Probably not. That's why I've added a search feature to the blog~ It's on the right hand side right under the Google Ads... But I digress, that game was definitely not as good as I thought it would be. I deleted it off my hard drive before I could even finish it. So yeah, I'm not gonna bother writing a review on it...

Anywho, Katawa Shoujo it out now, so I'm playing that tonight. Good so far. I can never seem to finish Visual Novels though. They're just sooooo long. And I don't have anyone to talk with them about. :( So I'm not sure I'll ever get around to finishing this... but whatever.

As for my next blog post... it will probably be a review on the anime "The World God Only Knows" since I finished the second season of that recently. So yeah, you can look forward to that...

Happy New Year Everyone

Man, I've been late on all the holidays lately. Anyway, hope everyone had a good 2011, -insert generic hopes of good fortune for 2012 here-. Anyone have any new years resolutions? I'd like to start eating a little better... just a little.

These things are addicting...

Also I'd like to start making some darn money from this blog. Still haven't gotten my first payment from Google Adsense :/... So how was everyone's new year's eve? I rang in the new year with some Super Smash Bros Brawl and this really weird movie called "Beastly". Such a generic teen-romance about angsty high schoolers... Except instead of vampires, this one had a curse that makes you ugly. (This was loosely based off of Beauty and the Beast btw). So yeah. Fun stuff.
