Amagi Brilliant Park

9/10
This anime was fucking hilarious; You'll follow Seiya as he tries to save the dying amusement park from being closed down!

Yes it is every bit as ridiculous as the picture looks I rarely laugh hard enough to have to pause the show so I can catch my breath to watch it. This show delivers just that with its' seemingly innocent outlook. I'm just gonna dive straight into this one!

Amagi Brilliant Park's story is that Seiya is recruited to be the new manager of the park to save it from being shut down. If he saves the park obviously he is a hero as far as the park staff is concerned but then, where does the fantastical story come from? Well, the staff at the park are all fairy tale creatures so, the last time you flipped off mickey at a disney park that might have killed the poor guy. Being creatures of fantasy their life force is derived of 'happiness' that humans put off when they are enjoying themselves. With that in mind Seiya's whole goal is not necessarily to just save the park he has to make sure people enjoy themselves too so that he can prolong the life of his friends. While this anime does have a lot of innocence to it, it also has some back stage craziness like the mascots who look at porn on their breaks or, the multitude of the staff that ends up in a bunch of fights. Honestly, watching this reminds me of watching something like zombieland where the plot seemed serious but, the characters didn't take it that way at all. The park staff seems pretty serious at first even a little over serious but, you learn they are just trying to survive and as Seiya does better they delve into who they really are.



This anime's main strength is it's comedy aspect if you think Akiba's Trip is outlandish this one will suprise you. But, this one has a lot broader of an audience since it is based in a fairly easy setting. I have to admit when I saw the clip for it I wasn't feeling it but, it proved me wrong by a long shot. Moral of that story is to not judge a book by its' cover. This anime didn't really have a weakness my only pit peeve with this one is that it never had a second season. It has a bunch of special episodes and even an OVA but, it failed to get a second season. Though, I can understand why it never did and you will too if you watch it.

In conclusion, this anime is a great comedy. It will be the source for many laughs and I hope that this review gets it a little more recognition since it didn't receive much when it came out. I imagine that had to do with the idea it was based around an amusement park but, I think it was one of the shows during that season that flew under the radar similar to how Overlord kind of went unnoticed. If you haven't had a good laugh in a while or are feeling in the dumps let these poor bastards cheer you up so they can live a little longer!

Thanks for reading as always! Remember to subscribe and share for more anime reviews to keep those smiles big!

Campione!

7/10 This anime is about Kusanagi Godoas a man who has slain the god of victory and acquired his powers. He has become a Campione and must fight other Campione to hope that he may survive this ordeal! Guess I'll start doing Fan-service Friday since this anime is fairly fan-service heavy aswell. Campione has one of the coolest theroies in an anime I've ever seen for it to be a ecchi anime. The idea is that when you kill a god you obtain their powers basically becoming that god; you can also kill other gods and obtain their powers aswell but, be careful you also inherit their weaknesses! This anime has an awful lot of fan-service as do many of the anime's that will be on Fridays' list. Campione has a weird way of mixing together combat and ecchi it's a bit of an awkward mix to be honest but this anime was underrated because of it. Many reviewers gave it a horrible review and it is normally fairly hard to find all of the episodes in one place when Campio...

Ladies Vs Butlers

7/10 Being orphaned and sent to a rich kid school to end up a butler for one of the many various princess's of the world with their big money and all that sounds great right? Honestly, all I can really say is as fun as that sounds no thanks I wouldn't be able to stand how the women treat our protagonist Akiharu. Though, at least his childhood girlfriend is there so not all of them are terrible. Afterall, to be a super princess you have to be somewhat civilized right? In anycase this anime is definitely the fan-service type but, it is a lot more entertaining than most of them mainly because like out number one entry today  Asobi Ni Ikuyo  it has a lot of comedy that is pretty fun to watch in general. Not really any action that I can think of in it but, this anime isn't really about that afterall it is a fan-service anime. At some point our protagonist does kind of get huffy with them and gets in their face which I like the fact that he calls them on their shit becau...

Blue Dragon

S1 9/10 S2 6/10 Blue Dragon is another action heavy anime that features Shuu in his quest to save the world from being taken over in both seasons. With S1 and S2 being so different in the ratings I'm here to explain why! We'll start with S1 since it is first. With S1 you are just getting to know Shuu as he takes on the empire that threatens the world. His first encounter with this empire is when they try to take over his village and try to kill him. Fortunately for him he is the holder of one of he legendary shadows known as Blue Dragon. During S1 you see him learn how to control his power over the course of it and even become friend with his inner demon much like Naruto except, having a giant Blue Dragon whoop ass for you somehow strikes me as cooler than becoming a neon light at a bar. Most people write BD off for the fact that the protagonist is very young but, if you have ever watched Hunter X Hunter then this is right up your alley though, the world isn't as ...
