Anime Reviewed Reviews Bleach 223

Alright guys I know its been a while since I actually reviewed any sort of anime but as I promised Anime Reviewed is coming back at full force with new reviews, new articles, and hopefully new writers. So if you think you have some talent in writing let me know because Anime Reviewed is constantly looking for new writers of almost any type. Yes we don’t mind if you just write about any thing anime related it doesn’t have to be a review just make sure its not stupid because it will be screened before its posted. There are perks for being a reviewer though because occasionally you get screener material from anime companies and some conventions will let you in for free as a member of the press.

Anime Reviewed Reviews Bleach 223

Description

(DESCRIPTION MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS SO READ IT AT YOUR OWN RISK)

Alright forgive me if I’m a small bit rusty on my reviews but  here we go with the bleach 223 review only a about 5 or 6 days late. In this episode of Bleach the annoying vice captain of second division Omaeda and his captain Soi Fon take on two of Barragon’s Fraccion. The fraccion in particular are Nirgge Parduoc and Ggio Vega who seem to be Barragon’s more trusted fraccion. These two fights actually began on Episode 222 but on this episode is the shocking or not so shocking conclusions to those fights. In more details on the fights the Omaeda and Nirgge Parduoc fight was probably the stupidest of the two fights. Apparently Omaeda was holding back and towing with Nirgge for pretty much the entirety of the last episode as he takes control of the fight in this episode. Don’t think that just because Omaeda was holding back and towing with Nirgge last episode that he will go down that easily as it takes him the entirety of the episode to beat him. Oh yeah Nirgge is a elephant arrancar who lacks any special techniques or powers besides being really strong with a trunk that can grab stuff. The fight in general was also lacking in awesomeness as I didn’t like either of the two characters so I wouldn’t mind it if they both killed each other in this episode. In the other fight in the episode which was Soi Fon fighting against Ggio Vega which was a much better fight. Both Soi Fon and Ggio are close range fighters who use short blades and hand to hand techniques to fight. Before I forget Ggio is from what I assume him to be; is some sort of sabre tooth tiger or some other type feline arrancar. I actually like Ggio as he is a slightly less cocky and arrogant Grimmjow that doesn’t look nearly as cool as Grimmjow. The fight itself is mainly Ggio beating Soi fon as she for some unknown reason wont use her shikai to beat him with her patentented two hit combo. The fight isn’t bad but it could be much shorter if Soi Fon would just finish him off quickly but she “toys” I emphasise the toys because she basically gets beat up for most of the episode. Don’t worry I wont continue to spoil this for you so this is the end of the Description section for this review.

Sound

The sound quality for this episode was pretty good especially since its not a filler episode so there shouldn’t be too much reason why the sound quality would go down. The opening theme is “Shōjo S” performed Scandal which has been used since episode 215 which sounds like some weird 70’s song only Japanese. The ending theme is “Kimi wo Mamotte, Kimi wo Aishite” performed by Sambo Master which has been used as the ending theme since episode 215. Kimi wo Mamotte, Kimi wo Aishite is my favorite of the two and it reminds me of one of the Naruto themes but I’m not sure which one exactly but they sound very similar.

I have to give the sound for Bleach 223 a 3.5 out of 5 why would I give it such a low score well I didn’t really like the opening theme that much so that’s what happened to the score.

Visuals

The visuals are pretty well drawn especially compared to the last episodes extremely silly illustrations which I kinda liked oddly enough. Nothing too notable visual wise so I will go ahead and score it a 4 out of 5 because there wasn’t anything notable.

Plot

The plot for episode 223 is following the manga pretty well so I cannot give any negative scores for that however I do wonder why Soi Fon had to take so long on beating Ggio. Well its actually a good thing that the fight took at least two episodes because if it didn’t the manga would be that much closer to the anime which would not be a good thing. I do have to say the plot for this episode did run smoothly as the Espada battles are getting even closer unfortunately it looks like there’s going to be a filler season showing up soon.

The plot for Bleach 223 gets a 4.5 out of 5

Overall Score

Since I enjoyed the episode I will have to give Bleach 223 a 4 out of 5 which I do have to remind you all isn’t a bad thing because anything 3 and higher is good and below that is what you have to be careful of. Also because I am such a nice person I included the episode reviewed streaming at the end. I think I should have said that at the beginning so people would have more incentive to read the review.

Souten Kouro

I know this is two weeks later than I had intended to post this review but I had a good reason.

THIS SERIES SUCKS

I tried, I waited for additional episodes to come out so I could say it was only the first few episodes but really Souten Kouro is so terrible I can say it would have been better to just make a series based off Dynasty Warriors and not pass of this series based loosely on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms(”based loosely”, read: unrelated). The intro animation gave me the impression there would be some really epic stuff going down and instead I get the pokemon of historical anime. Maybe I was spoiled by Viper’s Creed and expected anime with action to actually have action in the series and not just the OP.  The hatred I have for this series is only saved by the fact that I cannot give it a score lower than 1. I’d give it a negative five if I could. I tried, but five episodes in and I have not seen anything worthy of praise other than the  horribly misleading OP. I’m not even sure I can mention the ED because of the group doing it, because having a vulgar word in your bandname makes you that much more classy right?

The OP depicted this epic sized battle in the first few seconds, and when you add in the track “909″ by Tribal Chair which happened to add to the epic feel. And then five episodes later and the most you see is Cao Cao playing sheriff. Madhouse really lost out on this. If there is a fanbase for this series I certainly cannot see eye to eye with them on this. Sorry fans, but you and I are at a loss for understanding…all three of you. And Granted there is a lot of bad anime out, it seems madhouse had to take one for the team and put this out there for all to see. Better luck next time I suppose. But right now we have the horrible Souten Kouro. I never want to see this again.

I Rokth, give this a 1 out of 5. I’m watching some Viper’s Creed, that is a series that can delever.

Anime Reviewed Reviews Animazement 09

Holy Crap is this actually a written review it has been ages since one of these showed up well guess what Anime Reviewed will be coming back to full strength soon enough. Want to know whats holding it back me being lazy and a lack of Reviewers and Article Writers so I am solving that first problem by stepping up on all the reviews and putting them in high gear. However the second problem with the Reviewers and Article Writers is still there because people seem to now want to write anymore shame on you all. If you think you have what it takes to Review anime or write any sort of anime article just ask me and I will have to see a example of your work. If your work is pretty good you can become a member of the Anime Reviewed team which entitles you to be a member of the press sorta …. dont give me that look because it depends on what type of stuff you write with what you are able to do. If you are interested in Submitting any of your work just email it to animereviewed@gmail.com and I will contact you back if you are accepted. Also direct all questions you have to animereviewed@gmail.com because we will answer all your questions as soon as I read them. Ok I have written enough pointless prattle so I think its time to get the review started so introducing the first written review in a while.

Anime Reviewed Reviews Animazement 09

Hello anime reviewed faithful … yeah I know most of the faithful visitors of Anime Reviewed left the site and never looked back because of the lack of updates but there was reasons for the lack of updates. The main reason is I visited my first Anime Convention and yes I neglected the site because of my own selfish reasons well guess what its not 100% selfish because I will tell you whether or not you should visit Animazement 2010 or not.

Panels

There were all sorts of panels at Animazement 09 from fan panels to panels that were hosted by some very popular voice actors. Unfortunately I couldnt make it to all of the panels because some of them happened to have occurred at the same time and some  were taking place during the time I was in the dealer room. But the panels I went to were very educational and funny at the same time so if you want to learn something useful and have fun at the same time.

Panels include

• Japanese Culture
• Learn to speak and write Japanese
• Karate,kendo and Iaido demonstrations
• And tons of Guest Panels
• And even more Fan panels than I would like to list but wont.

I attended a few of these and all of the panels that I went to was supperb except for a slight problem with kyle hebert and Spike Spencers equipment didnt arive at the convention for one of their  panels so they did some unique improv.

I have to give the Panels for Animazement 09 a 4 out of 5 … why a 4 because i missed some and i cant score them.

Entertainment

There was more than just Panels at Animazement there was Cosplay Competitions, Concerts, video/game rooms, Dance/Rave, and all sorts of strange things that occur in the lobbies. If you thought that Animazement was nothing but panels well you are dead wrong there’s all sorts of stuff to pass the time. While at Animazement 09 there was a Uchuu Sentai NOIZ concert which was very unique and I actually enjoyed  it quite a bit. Infact the NOIZ concert was the first one they did on the east coast so it was actually pretty special so I guess you could say it was monumental sorta. The Cosplay Competetion wasnt that nearly as good though but it wasnt terrible so it could have been much much better than what it was. The Video rooms were a nice way to watch some anime that you have never seen before and the only problem with them is sometimes they arent playing something your interested in. The dance or rave thing would have been better if I had any dancing skills what so ever but I dont so I kinda just watched some people do some strange things. The strange things in the lobbies i was talking about is cosplay red rover and other little games that the cosplayers played in the lobby.

I have to give Animazement’s entertainment section a 5/5 because I enjoyed it.

Guests

The Guests Were:

• Kyle Hebert
• Spike Spencer
• Trish Ledoux
• Christina Vee
• Caitlin Glass
• Kara Edwards
• Scott Houle
• Toshifumi Yoshida
• Ryuusei Nakao
• Jun Shishido
• Yusuke Igarashi
• Noiz

They had some Guest drop out due to the bird flu scare but some surprise guests took their place which was very good because otherwise half the guests listed wouldnt be here.

I have to give the guest lineup a 5/5 I suppose because there’s no reason why not. Some of my favorite voice actors appeared so I cant give it a bad score. The problem is I missed some of them so yeah that sucks so next time I need to get Chritina Vee, Caitlin Glass, and everyone elses Autograph. Yes I did get me some Autographs because I am cool like that.

OVERALL

Alright overall I have to give Animazement 09 a 5/5 because it was genuinely fun and its amazing to watch the cosplayers wondering the streets of Raleigh. I will also have to say that If you get a chance you will need nay I command you to go to Animazement 13 which will be May 28-30, 2010 in Raleigh NC. Oh yeah I most likely will be heading back to Animazement because this time I will be much more prepared and I will need a helper since its so huge.

Naruto Shippuuden Movie: Kizuna (Bonds) Review

Alright this will be another Audio Review so prepare to be unamazed by the unamazing voice of Katimusha as he talks about the second Naruto Shippuuden Movie.

Before I commence with the review I would like to mention that we need some new additions to our staff and by new additions we need almost anything we can get. In fact I made a really crappy 30 second video just so you can see how much Anime Reviewed needs your help. Also if you know someone who might be willing to help out make sure to let them know that Anime Reviewed wants their help.

Alright here is just a few basic things before the actual review and yes I am taking this info off a friends site sorta because its all the compiled info that i need all in one handy spot. Here is his website if you want to check out his site Anime Avenue .

Naruto Shippūden 2: Bonds (劇場版 NARUTO−ナルト− 疾風伝 絆 ,Gekijōban Naruto Shippūden: Kizuna?) is the fifth overall Naruto film and second Naruto: Shippūden film, based on the popular anime and manga series, which was released on August 2, 2008. The DVD is scheduled to be released on April 22, 2009. The movie was announced in Weekly Shōnen Jump along with the DVD release date for the first movie. Additionally, the teaser trailer for the second movie was aired with Naruto: Shippūden episode(s) 40-41 and again with episode 66-67. In episodes 70-73 opening sequence was replaced with footage from movie. The theme song for the movie is “No Rain No Rainbow” by Home Made Kazoku. The film has gone on to be highest grossing of all Naruto movies bringing in 95,341,986 dollars in Japan. The film was advertised under the tagline of “Another Meeting of Fate” (宿命の再会 ,Shukumei no Saikai?).

And here is the Audio Review which originally was 8 minutes long but unfortunately wasnt very good so with the help of our editor Rokth and now its actually less crappy.

and for those people who want to download this podcast I will include a link to where you can download it … not sure why you would want to download it but someone might want to.

I do hope you enjoy the review and if you do enjoy make sure to leave a comment and if you dont like it also leave a comment saying what i should do to improve and make the review better. I am asking this because your opinions matter at Anime Reviewed so make sure to tell us what we are doing right and what we are doing wrong.

Rokth reviews Sengoku Basara

Alright what have we got here. Another series based off a video game. Let me get this out …I haven’t seen or played any of the games from the franchise so bear with me if you’re a fan and I give it a score you don’t like. Now from what I do see it certainly isn’t Street Fighter(read: awful) so we can at least find something in this to enjoy. Because I haven’t played the game I have an outside viewpoint and can view it as such and not be let down because “They didn’t include the X to Y” or “The added so much between X it too from Y”. I’ll be let down for other reasons instead.

Details details details

Glancing over the voice acting cast I noticed most of the cast have worked on the games in the franchise so fans will hear familiar voices. Most of the Staff have worked on video game adaptations and have worked together on similar projects. Odd fact: The director Itsuro Kawasaki worked on the Chrono Trigger OAV. Moving on the the OP is “JAP” by Abingdon Boys School who have been doing work on anime since they formed and the intro animation that follows with the music features a dancing brigade(?) of troops. The Ed is “Break & Peace” by Dustz and features mostly stills and portraits for closing. The composition for seems to fit well enough but as I haven’t played the games I guess it’s fair that I don’t give points for that. The Character design is very over the top and can be a bit silly in places. However hats off for the rockabilly biker gang minions and the motorcycle horse. Over the top yes, but still awesome.

I cannot comment on the plot because I haven’t played the game and I figured it to be the typical “theatrical punchy kicky fighty with intermissions” So I have to take off some points, I just hope the game’s cut-scenes were not so boring.

The Score

Obviously I have to take points off for some of the non-comedic shenanigans and so on. I enjoyed it but I cannot say this is something I would advise people to see. And while it has what I consider personally redeeming overall stepping back I think I’d lose interest after a while. So this comes down to a two out of five. If you wished for a Dynasty Warriors anime this is where it’s at and enjoy but other wise you may want to pass on this for something else.

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood episode 1-3 review

Alright I decided now that anime reviewed is back up for a bit I should do a review but I am a bit rusty from my time of fighting against bad hosts and other Internet baddies.

Well the anime that I decided to review was Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood also known as Full Metal Alchemist 2 which is basically a retelling of the Full Metal Alchemist series following the manga much more closely.

Episode 1

Alright in the first episode of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood we get introduced again to the whole Full Metal Alchemist cast well not everyone but mainly the state alchemists such as Ed, Al, Roy Mustang, Louis Armstrong, and other members of the military. The first episode is basically about a ice alchemist who wants revenge against fuhrer bradley for the ishballian war.

Episode 2

In the second episode it explains how Ed and Al are the way they are aka the human transmutation not much more happened in this episode though.

Episode 3

In the third episode Ed and Al find themselves in Lior dealing with a preacher who seems to be able to be able to transmute without equivalent exchange. You might remember this in the original but its different so don’t think that you know how everything will end up.

Ok for this I decided to do a really shitty audio review so enjoy

Also for those people who have to download stuff here is the crappy download link so enjoy lol
