Hey there! I need a little help everyone.
I'm a little stumped on what anime to do next, can you guys recommend an anime for me to review? It could be an anime that you've heard about and you want to know more about it before you watch, or it could be one you've watched and just want my opinion on.
Ether way I'd be happy to review it and give an opinion!
That's all for this time, see you later and I hope I get some good ideas for new reviews!
See you all later. L.

Hey people! Sorry it's been such a long time since I've written a review, I've been very distracted.
But enough excuses, lets get to the new anime review!


That's right, I'm reviewing the anime Black butler! I know this is going to come back to bite me in the butt, but who cares! :D Let's go.

Black butler takes place in Victorian England, the story is about a twelve year old boy named Ciel Phantomhive who is an Earl and The queen's "guard dog". His job is to investigate extreme or unusual crimes (usually murders or kidnappings) at the request of Queen Victoria.
 At age ten his parents were killed and he was kidnapped, he was then subjected to torture that was (from what I understood) a part of some kind of religious ceremony. Eventually he manages to escape and make his way to the Phantomhive manor with the help of a demon who he has made a contract with, named Sebastian Mechaelis.
Because of the contract, Sebastian works as Ciel's butler, helps him with his investigations, and do whatever else Ciel tells him to while they look for the people who killed his parents. And in return, once they find and kill the people that killed his parents, Sebastian gets to eat Ciel's soul.
In the story they come across several unnatural adversaries, including multiple Grim reapers, an angel who want's to purge the world of the unclean, and a selfish, psychotic blonde haired boy named Alois Trancy who has several demons at his command. 

Now, as you could probably guess, I had several issues with this show. But there were a couple things that I actually liked, so I'll start with those.
Minus a couple scenes in a few episodes, all the people in the show are modestly dressed. And that always is a good point in my book. 
Another thing is that, despite having an attractive appearance, they don't try to make demons likable. Throughout the entire series, no matter how nice Sebastian seems to act, you still understand that he's still a demon and all he really cares about is eatting Ciel's soul.  
Also, even though he's made several bad choices (like turning his left eye into a contract with a demon and killing several people), I find Ciel Phantomhive to be a very likable character.

And now. On to all the bad stuff.
Oh boy.

To start, the show has demons, nuff said there.
It also makes angels look like bad guys, watching this rather horrifying "angel" run around killing people and sewing together of people so people can be "together forever" literally made me say, "That angel needs Jesus." 
It has a lot of  blood, and not just 'Oh hey look blood' kind of blood, I mean you SEE someone get SHOT. There's also a few really gory bodies.
Also, though most of the time everyone is modest, there are several scenes where there are people who are naked.

So, over all, with demons, crazy angels, and dead bodies. I have to give it about a 3 out of 10 for christian friendliness, and that's being kind of generous.

So that's the end of this review, comment what you think or any ideas for other animes for me to post reviews of.
See yah later! L.

Heeeeeey! Today I'm doing a review of Ouran highschool host club!

The story is about Haruhi, a serious, no-nonsense girl who lives with her transvestite father. She gets a scholarship to a fancy pink school full of rich people where, after being mistaken for a boy and breaking an expensive vase, she is forced to join the host club. Which is basically a club created by a group of rich, attractive boys with too much time on their hands where they flirt with and entertain rich, pretty girls who also have way too much time on their hands.
The members f the host club are:
Tamaki, The princely type who is the president of the club and self proclaimed "daddy" of Haruhi.
Kyoya, the cool type who is the club treasurer and vice president, he is the "mommy" of the family according to Tamaki.
Mori, the silent type, who always accompanies his cousin Honey every where he goes.
Honey, the boy lolita (or cute) type, he's short and always carries his stuffed pink bunny named Usa-chan where ever he goes, he is also a master martial artist.
Hikaru and Kaoru, The twin devil types, they're are always trying to stir up trouble so that they won't get bored. Their specialty in the club is their "brotherly love" act, in which they flirt, almost kiss, and do other various things.

This show is full of humor and romance, a dash of  laughable ignorance on the boys part about their feelings for Haruhi. The characters are charming, the storyline is interesting, and there isn't any nudity or barely dressed girls.

But unfortunately, there is cussing. And the insest between the twins can't really be ignored. Plus, there is a scene in one of the episodes that is almost inappropriate (even if Kyoya is just showing Haruhi that she's still a girl even if she dresses like a boy and she has to be careful). 

Personally, I think it's a case of six of one and half a dozen of the other. 
I give it a 7.5 out of 10 for christian friendliness, I recommend it to all my anime friends, but it still has a couple things wrong with it. So, I say just gauge for yourself if it's appropriate for you. 

Well, that's all for now. See you all later! L.

Hey it's me! Today, I'm reviewing Brothers conflict!

This show is about a 16 year old girl named Ema who's father gets remarried, and to not cause any trouble for her father, she moves into a huge house with her new step-mother's 13 sons. From oldest to youngest the sons are: Masaomi, age 31. Okyo, age 28. Kaname, age 27. Hikaru, age 26. The triplets, Tsubaki, Azusa, and Natsume, all age 24. Louis, age 21. Subaru, age 20. Iori, age 18. Yusuke, age 16. Futo, age 15. and Wataru, age 10.
Lots of numbers there.
Ema has a talking pet squirrel named Juli that only she can understand, Juli is constantly worried about Ema's safety in a house full of young men and always thinks their all wolves that are on the hunt for her. Which isn't that far off, almost all of the brothers in the house are in love with Ema Which leads to some fighting.



The show is quite pleasant, all the characters are lovable and the romance in the show is generally sweet. The's no close ups of girl's chests ether, which is always a good thing in my book.

But unfortunately, there's some cussing, mildly suggestive flirting, and one of the brothers makes an appearance in nothing but a towel. Also, there is the fact that even though they're step-siblings, it's technically all insest. Plus there was a scene where two of the triplets were messing with Ema and started implying that they were in a relationship, which would be insest AND homosexuality.

              I'd probably give this show a 4.5 out of 10 on christian friendliness. I like it but it's not really a good choice for anyone under 15.

See yah! L.

Hey! It's me again! Time for another review!
This time, I'm doing the show Fairy Tail!

Fairy Tail is a story that takes place in a country called Fiore that is one of the kingdoms of a place called Earthland (there's other countries too but mostly the adventures take place in Fiore). In Earthland, magic is an everyday thing, it's just as common as using a TV or an oven. Most people just use for everyday things, but then there are others who make magic into a career by becoming wizards and joining magic guilds. This story is about a specific guild called Fairy Tail. The story focuses on four wizards in particular:
 Natsu Dragneel, Who is a fire wizards who was raised by a dragon that taught him an ancient form of fire magic called dragon slayer magic, he can eat fire and then use it to power up his own magic. 
Lucy Heartfilia, who is a celestial wizard and can use magic keys to summon celestial beings that coincide with different constellations. 
Grey Fullbuster, an ice wizard who can make just about anything out of ice and has the strange habit of taking off his clothes and often ends up walking around in just his boxers, and he often doesn't even realize he's taken them off till someone points it out to him.
and "TitaniaErza Scarlet, who is often called the Fairy Queen. She uses re-equip magic that is much more powerful than the usual re-equip magic, instead of just being able to summon different weapons like a wizard usually can, she can re-equip entire suites of armor.
Later there's also a young girl named Wendy who joins but that's not till several seasons in.

 This show is fast-paced, intriguing, well thought through, and creative. It is full of fun characters that have touching backstories, you'll get attached to pretty much all of them quickly. It is also full of amazing villains and awesome fight scenes.

But unfortunately, it also has scantly clad girls at various points, mild language, a touch of blood, and several off-color jokes.

So even though I really love this show, I'm going to have to give it a 4.5 out of 10 for christian friendless. 

Well, I've done all the damage I can do here, see you next time! L.

Hey everyone! My new review is going to be of the anime Invasion! Squid girl
Invasion! Squid Girl is a show about a girl from the ocean who possesses squid-like tentacles for hair named squid girl. She apparently has made a vow to invade mankind as revenge for its pollution of the ocean, and she makes it her first task is to take over the Lemon Beach House snack bar, owned by the Aizawa siblings, sweet but scary Chizuru, strong willed Eiko, and innocent Takeru, and turn it into her base of operations. However, she accidentally breaks a hole in their wall trying to swat a mosquito, then is forced to work as a waitress to pay off the damages. Thus, Squid Girl begins her life on the surface, learning new things and meeting new people.

It's a cute, comedic show that'll make you laugh and giggle like crazy. All the girls wear fairly modest clothes (except for some of them when they're in swimsuites, then they have on bikinis. Which aren't very modest) and there isn't really any bad language.

But there are a few bad things, like the lesbian stalker who is in love with squid girl who's constantly getting nose bleeds. And occasionally there's an almost unnoticeable but still present dirty joke hidden between the funny and seemingly innocent lines.

All in all, I'd give it a 8 out of 10 for christian friendliness. I've watched this show with my little brothers and they loved it, but even if they don't get some of the inappropriate jokes, they're still there so unfortunately I can't give it a higher score.

That's it for now, so see you later! L.

Okay, Time for my first review, I'm going to do the show Hetalia!

 Hetalia is an anime that started out as just a series of four panel comics strung into one manga. The idea of  is that all the countries from WW2 are people, and all of them look and act like what the stereotype for the people of that country is.
 So for example, America (or Alfred F. Jones, if you wish to call him by his human name)
Is loud, obnoxious, annoying, arrogant, always wants to be the hero, and always shoving his face full of fast food. He also best friend named Tony who is a gray alien.

I enjoyed watching this show and the plot is creative, and I've actually learned a lot about history from it. It presents history in a fun way that makes you not realize that you are actually learning little bits among the hilarious arguments they all get into about everything from who draws better to who is in control over who. And even though it's about WW2, the worst violence you'll see is a dust cloud indicating that England and France got into another fist fight.


Though unfortunately, it's rated M. And as such has a large amount of cussing, a couple of off-color jokes, and several close up shots of bouncing chests (though all the girls are still modestly dressed).

All in all, I'd probably give it only a 3.5 out of 10 for christian friendliness, though it's still up to you and God if you watch it or not.

Well, I think my work is done for now. I'll post another review soon! L.
