ANIME REVIEW: Hetalia Season 1 to 6 (Winter 2009 to Summer 2015)

Hetalia is a comedy show that really made an impact on me. Basically the idea behind Hetalia is a 5/6m episodic story where the characters are countries like Italy; Germany; France and so on.

They really hit the mark with the characteristics of the European countries and myself being one  really enjoy it. Unfortunately there isn't a Portugal but that's okay. The characteristics they give Germany people, italian, french, english and so on is very accurate.



Each episode deals with a situation that happened mainly on Europe and then there are some that involve USA; Japan & China. Italy as our main character (there are two italy) is very funny. Germany is by far the best one. 

Most episodes are very funny and deal with some common events on Europe but also deal with some more unknown events (some seem to be taken from some pinky magazine). Each season focus on a particular timeline timeline  but more commonly is set on XX century. 

Germany is my favorite character (Ukraine following suit with the nordic as well).
Korea is listed here but it never appears... Where's Ukraine??

First two seaons are called Hetalia: The Axis Powers; then two more seasons as Hetalia: World Series, the fifth season in Beautiful World & the sixth World Twinkle. There are also some OVAS and other Compilation episodes.

Anime Review: Outbreak Company (Fall 2013)

Outbreak Company is anime that took all the tropes in existence and mash them together.

This anime, follows the story of Shinichi as he goes to another world (Isekai) to teach Otaku/Moe culture. Basically Japan discovered a gate to another world and they try to teach Japanese stuff (and they chosen otaku?anime?manga?)

There he meets Myucel an half-elf and Petralka the ruler of the country he is in which will their love interests. There is also Elbia (a werewolf of some sorts) and Minori Koganuma (a JDSF officer) who is not a love interest but wants to see Shinichi and Galious (cousin of Petralka) in some BL (BoysLove) situation.

Well, each episode is basically Shinichi trying to teach something new to Petralka, Myucel and other inhabitants of the fantasy land - from anime to manga, to light-novels and movies. They are very interesting episodes and I really enjoy it. The last two episodes were a bit fast-paced as we learn of why the Japanese Government was trying to expand the Otaku culture to another world (a bit far-fetched BUT plausible).

Interesting is that in some episodes we learn about the world they are like racial problems to culture clashes. We also learn about Shut-in situation in Japan (and how they deal with it)

There are all kind of tropes within - from the breasts and nakedness (never seen anything) to the beach episode most animes have.

In terms of Art I really enjoy it and feel. (the studios) know their stuff. 
In terms of characters - they are given depth and I enjoy learning more about Myucel and Petralka power problems. 
Excelent soundtrak, no doubt about it and the voice over was HILARIOUS. 

Overall I really enjoy the anime and feel. is one of those studios I will look more in the near future. After all they made one of my favourite animes Tsuki ga Kirei which I will make a review in the near future. 

Mayo Chiki, My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU and Listen to Me, Girls. I Am Your Father! are three animes I will be watching in the near future.

Anime Review: Bikini Warriors (Summer 2015)

Let us start...

This anime was made by feel. . They are also the creators of several animes with Ecchi, nudity themes. This is the first I watch from them. But there are a couple of them that have good reviews... I can't judge a company because of ONE anime.

Synopsis
Damn those cutie dogs...
When darkness threatens the world, four heroes hold the only hope for salvation—if they can even manage to get out of the first town, that is. Bikini Warriors follows a party of beautiful adventu


rers in revealing armor: courageous Fighter, airheaded Paladin, timid Mage, and alluring Darkelf. But can you really be an adventurer if you don't get going on an adventure?

Our heroes are eternally broke, insufferably vain, and frequently outmatched by the dangers of their world. Between fleeing dungeons and robbing peasants, the unlikely heroes will have to learn to live with each other before they can survive a battle with ultimate evil!

Opinion
Well the synopsis will be probably bigger than my review. In this tale we follow four adventurers to help the kingdom. They Are Mage; Dark Elf; Paladin & Fighter.


damn mimic chest...
So what's interesting about it?  Each Episode is 4m full of fan service. There's not doubt about it. Unfortunately there's low nudity. Don't understand the Rating. OK they are always in their bikinis.

Each of the four characters have boobs bigger than their heads. The creators made every battle some sort of sexual fantasy. The worst of them is the Paladin always trying to sacrifice her virginity for the sake of the group. Everything she sees a problem she ask if she has to prostitute herself.

I must say the only redeeming quality is the art of the girls. The bouncing titties are good but since they are so big they it feels awkward. I must I was very disappointing with it. But since 12 episodes each 4/5m is not that bad.
