Anime Analyze: Tenjho Tenge (Anime)

This next anime is called Tenjho Tenge.  Made by the company Oh! Great, it was originally made as a manga and then remade into the anime series in 2004.  Like some other shows that I have reviewed, it only lasts 24 episodes, however the manga goes farther in the story than the anime.  Through the entire series there is just one opening song, "Bomb A Head" by m.c.A.T. So, lets get into the anime Tenjho Tenge. 

New AMV

This AMV was made by Hikachan as a submission to Anime Banzai 2012 and we uploaded it to YouTube after the competition. Hope you enjoy!

Anime Analyze: Darker than Black

The next show that I will be reviewing is called Darker than Black, and boy is this one gonna be good.  Made by Bones in 2007 and instead of being adapted from a manga series, the show actually came out first, then the manga was made a released.  At the time it was also awarded Best Original Anime of the Year by the magazine GoGoPlex.  There is also a second season called Darker than Black: Ryusei no Gemini (Gemini of the Meteor), but I will be covering that as well as the four episode OVA's of the show at another time.  The series has 25 episodes in it and had two openings, the first was one of my favorites, "Howling" by Abington Boys School, and the second was "Kakusei Heroism" (The Hero Without a Name) by An Cafe.  So, lets get into one of my favorite shows, Darker than Black.

Anime Analyze: Sengoku Basara: The Last Party (Movie)

 So we all remember the show Sengoku Basara  that I reviewed earlier, it was that anime that never explained how it worked when it came to how the people got abilities and it just went on doing what it did without taking any time to go through the basic mechanics of how people fought. Well that show was freaking awesome and so they made a movie to go along with the show.  This is Sengoku Basara: The Last Party.  Released in 2011 it starts off where the second season ended and is supposed to be the finisher for the animated franchise.  While being the ending for it, I can make the argument that it didn't finish out the series as well as it could have, and I will go into that more later.  So, here is the review of Sengoku Basara: The Last Party.  

Anime Analyze: Black Rock Shooter (OVA)

 So, having looked at the 2012 anime Black Rock Shooter, I took a look at the OVA of the same name using a song title featuring Hatsune Miku, also of the same name.  It was made in 2010 and was taken in strongly by the public which eventually led to the creation of the mainstream anime series two years later.  Though the OVA series itself only lasted one episode, which created some flaws in it believe me, it was fun to watch and I am going to go more in depth with it now, so lets take a look at Black Rock Shooter the OVA.

Anime Analyze: K-On! I

Happy Labor Day to everyone, I hope that you all had a nice long weekend, I personally did.  So, the next anime that I will be doing is the first season of the show called K-On!.  Made in 2009 this first season is 13 episodes long, based off of the manga started in 2007.  It was produced by Kyoto Animation, who is known for making shows such as Clannad and Lucky Star, and doing other animation for shows like Inyuasha and Full Metal Panic!.  The opening is "Cagayake! GIRLS" by Aki Toyosaki with Yoko Hikasa, Satomi Satou, and Minako Kotobuki, and the ending is "Don't say "lazy"" by the same people who made the opening.  So, lets get together with Sakuragaoka Girl's High School's light music club and see what they have to show. Side note as well, this is the show that brought about the video game that was reviewed by Hikachan earlier in the summer.
