Fortune Arterial

8/10
Waltzing into a school full of vampires that act like your everyday human isn't something that happens often unless of course you are Hasekura Kohei. Not that this anime really goes into the whole vampire thing till pretty much the end of the show. Kohei is a different character in general when it comes to these romance animes normally.

Most of the time you end up with a sniveling crybaby but Kohei he is kind of indifferent about it. Not to the point of questioning his sexuality but, he certainly is less idiotic about the whole situation. This anime is a lot of slice-of-life instead of having anything to really do with romance. The romance does come but, only towards the end of the show I would say it doesn't really start becoming part of it till about episode eight. I will say that their depiction of vampires is pretty interesting though it was before "Interviews with Monster Girls" it has the same idea that blood sucking is a lot more intimate than people think. With this it brings up a lot of good questions that unfortunately are never answered in the show.

That being said this anime's best part is probably the relaxation of it. Calming in a sense overall it is a good anime to watch when you want something more relaxing than eighty hours of screaming at each other about friendship to win a fight. Not that there is anything wrong with that but, seriously some people need to chill out every once in awhile. Can't cuddle your body pillow while you are cheering All Might, Saitama, or Goku on now can you?

The biggest problem in this anime is probably its' lack of explanation and the use of easy tickets to get out of explaining something. Not like it is incredibly uncommon in anime in general but, it is over used in this one. Now I get it they only had twelve episodes to smash everything together but, they could have used the vampire stuff a lot more instead of just slamming it into the back end like they ended up doing. It did knock it down a few notches for me. It was elevated with some of the realistic approaches to things though so that makes it better than your average seven after all I do love it when people give real thought to something like how we may have misinterpreted a myth.

In conclusion, Fortune Arterial is a good anime for beginners who are not really ready to delve into total weeb mode and is still pretty good for anyone lost to society. You could recommend this to a friend pretty easily so long as they care for a more easy going story rather than one full of action. If you haven't seen it I would watch this so long as my list of animes I am currently watching was pretty short or if I wasn't following a boatload at once.

Thanks for reading as always be sure to subscribe, comment, and share or you may get bitten!

8.5/10 Ever wonder what happens to the hero after the story is over? Well this anime is here to show you just that! With Akatsuki defeating the 'Satan' of another world he is returned to his world after reaping the benefits of his new found powers along with his reward of taking custody of Satan's daughter. With Akatsuki returning to his world he is forced into the Babel program which helps people integrate into society with their new found powers like a tournament setting more or less. During this Akatsuki will fight other people with similar powers to his to see who really is the best 'Hero'. With some fan-service here and there this action show should be enough to tide you over while you wait for a new show to come out! Lets get this straight Akatsuki is the hero I would be if I was a hero lax a fuck and really carefree. He is the protagonist you want in any anime as he is not afraid to take advantage of any situation no matter how weird it may be thoug...

Death March

7.5/10 Hey guys, I'm back with yet another anime review. Something a little different this time as we're going to review one that isn't actually complete yet. I thought that people were really ragging this anime down with no chance and because of this I have decided to do a review even though, it is not finished. Let's jump into this one right away this one may be longer than others as I try to argue a better opinion to this anime than it's previous reviewers. Death March is about a game programmer named Satou(or Sazuki Ichirou) that is suddenly transported into another world with some gimmicks from the game he was creating tagging a long for the ride. Many people and I do mean many people have consecutively shat upon this anime without really ever giving it a chance. While their concerns are certainty noteworthy and a lot of their arguments valid here is what they aren't really telling you. One of the many things that has happened in the past year or...

Interviews with Monster-girls

8/10 Heading back into the lighter things this anime is about a teacher that wants to learn more about the "Demi-Chan's" that live in our world. Things like vampires, werewolves, succubus, and other mythical beings are genetic defects in this world. This is a light-hearted anime made for people who want to relax and chill out with a good laugh here and there. This show mostly follows the teacher Tetsuo who wants to make a journal of various Demi-chans that are from around the world. He is fairly reliable, likable, and is pretty smart as far as anime main characters go. There are some attempts at fan-service and romance but, this show mostly sticks to its' guns with the whole just being a show about interviewing thing. Which I have to admit is a nice change of pace. I like my monster-girls as much as the next guy but, recently it may be too much so, this is a nice new take on it considering the fact that they even tried to get all scientific about it. The main s...
