You know....I really love the "Tales of..." series! I only watched a couple of them and I really want to play the games....if you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll explain some of them to you in just a second. The Tales series is basically a game and due its popularity they decided to create an anime as you can tell from the video above. There is so many different games and animes of the Tales. I only watched maybe 1 or 2 animes of the Tales. But I really want to try the games!! They seem like fun!

Summary: Two worlds exist, both unaware of the existence of the other. In order for one world to flourish, the other will have to perish. On the perishing world, a Chosen one is sent on a journey to restore that world's mana by awakening the Spirits and becoming an angel. Colette Brunel, the Chosen of Sylvarant, sets out on her journey accompanied by her best friends Lloyd Irving and Genis Sage. As they travel further they meet more friends and even more enemies, while they learn more and more about the truth behind the World Regeneration.
Why does this anime or OVA have to be really short?? It was really interesting and had alot of potential! The art looks pretty simple which nice because most animes based on the game are usually detailed and weird looking especially when they go into their fight scenes. The animation for the fight scenes really smooth and dynamic. Some could be a bit longer.......the guys are pretty hot and good looking...hehe. The story line is just great! Each character have their own unique personality. Considering it was from a game I think they did the characters very well. I really really really really really want to play the game!!! > x <
Sorry for not posting as often.......I'm either busy or just extremely lazy. Anyways, I have been running out of recommendations to recommend to be honest. Well I think have alot more but........anyways! While looking for this video on youtube, I came across this anime: Eyeshield 21. I had no idea what it was and the video or song I was looking for was the ending this anime. If you are wondering what the song I was looking for, it was called Flower by Back-on. I love the Japanese Band Back-on! :D
After listening to this (I fell in love with the song), I immediately wanted to try watching this anime! I really like this anime even though it is a sport kind of shonen anime but hey, I don't really care that much on genres! As long as they are not mature animes and have great art and have a story line then I will watch it!

Summary: Sena Kobayakawa is a weak and non-assertive boy. He enters Deimon Private Senior High school. Before High school he was constantly being bullied. He was made to run errands for people using his unnaturally good running skills. He was always saved by his childhood friend Mamori Anezaki. Because he has been a go-fer since he was little, he has decided to change himself when he entered Deimon High School. Sena's running ability soon caught the eye of football captain, Yoichi Hiruma. He forces him to join the football team. Will Sena take this opportunity to change?
I really have to admit, I have misjudged this anime. I thought the art would turn out bad and the story would be poop but now watching it......I think its extremely awesome, cool and epic!!! :) I normally don't watch sport kind of animes and yeah, I'm totally hooked on it! The art is really not bad and the story is full of adventure, fun and inspiration. I actually learned something about Football!
Eyeshield 21 is full of really interesting characters. Just like the manga/anime Air Gear, the characters are full of energy and enthusiasm. The main character Sena kinda reminds me of Tsuna from Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Sena is weak like Tsuna and pathetic too. Well Tsuna isn't great at when it comes to athletics and school work but I think Sena is better than Tsuna. But they both have the same determination and goals. Also they both are pretty EPIC! ^_^
The one character that caught my eye was Hiruma. He has interesting character.....he is awfully mysterious because he has his ways of getting things and well he carries guns with him so he is very violent. He may seem scary but he is actually kind. I love him! He is really funny!! :D
I apollogize for not posting anything for a while!! Stupid exams........Well as a highschool student I do have to take exams or tests (Or do I?), whatever you want to call them. So I hope this post makes you happy that I did not die or disappear or decided to ditch you all so I decided to do one of these cause I haven't done one in a while so......^0^ Oh just to tell you people, I'm not that great at doing summurizations so....don't blame me!!

My review/opinion:
I really enjoy this Manga/Anime. It is full of Action, Comedy (So funny) and fun! I really love it! I never had fun with any shounen Anime/Manga before to be honest until I came across this one. Many shounens I've read/watched I smiled, laughed and sometimes cried but this one.....it was sorta unusual.....It made me laugh harder until I cried, think and smile until my mouth hurt. I just love this Manga/Anime!! It is soo good!Beware.....It may contain some mature themes....not really but nudity I think.
Anyways the manga has won the 2006 Kodansha Manga Award in the Shounen category and was praised for both dubbing (surprising....I liked the dubbing) and subbing. It was also praised for the awesome soundtracks. I really love the soundtracks! I never usually actually take notice of the soundtracks but this anime made me look into it. To be honest this anime/manga has given me some inspiration. If you have watched or read this then you would probably know why. So I'd like you to try to listen to some of the soundtracks cause they are quite catchy. You know how music in movies or shows comes in the right time? Well I sorta feel like that when I watch the anime with the sweet soundtrack in the background!
Some of the tracks are based on the song "Chain" by Back-On
How do you like them??? I know they are awesome!!!!!! (I know that you wouldn't be saying that so I'm trying to be postive here!)
