Korewa Zombie Desu Ka? (Season 2)

Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka?

I have not much to say about this season but I just want to inform y'all that I finished watching it. This season is really short. It has only 11 episodes. Will there be a season 3? Some sources say yes and some no. Nothing much happened during this season. There's only a few things that were interesting like Eucliwood getting sick. They used some funny methods to cure her. That was hilarious. Oh and apparently the pink haired girl-Chris, stole Haruna's mana which maybe means her magic powers? I don't know.

Chris was placed under a cursed by The queen of villiers. She was cursed to forever be a middle-aged man although she is a girl. She has been teaching Ayumu's class for sometime. Chris drinks a lot as it seems to be the only way to weaken the curse and maintain her own self again.  I hope that season 3 does come out. The story hasn't ended yet. There are so many cliffhangers in this season. If there are to stop producing, it will be incomplete. I have nothing more to say about this season. (^.^)

Enjoy Korewa Zombie Desu Ka? 2~

Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka? (Are you a zombie)


Eucliwood, Ayumu, Haruna, Seraphim and Yuki

Let me just say that this anime is simply amazing. Characters, plot, genre, everything! It has comedy, action, magic maybe romance? Not really much on that part yet though.. The zombie in this anime is Ayumu. A male high school student. Not those zombies where they eat your brain and have drool coming out of their mouths. Ayumu is like any ordinary human except he can't die and is very sensitive towards the sun. Ayumu hates the sun and always avoids it; this is why everyday after school, he stays in the classroom until the sun is out. Ayumu wasn't always a zombie. He was once human too. He was killed by a Masou Shouja (magical girl) named Kyoko who went on a crazy killing spree to collect souls to make herself immortal.

Ayumu
Before his death, he met  Eucliwood Hellscythe. She has the power to change fate as she was a necromacer. He was drawn by her beauty when he first saw her and tried talking to her. She doesn't respond with words but writes them on a memo pad. Eucliwood saw that Ayumu had died and revived him making him a zombie. Every since then, they lived together in his apartment. His parents were overseas and he lived on his own.

Eucliwood
After meeting Eucliwood, he met other strange people. He met Haruna, another Masou Shouja. She was in the middle of killing a megalo. There are beasts with special powers. Throughout the fight, Ayumu's body was cut in half but did not die as he was a zombie and could regenerate. For some weird reason after that, Haruna lost her magic power and couldn't transform into a Masou Shouja anymore. This happened when she tried to earase Ayumu's memories of meeting her. It seems that Ayumu got her magic powers instead and that he could transform into a Masou Shouja anytime. She couldn't go back to school as her magic was gone and decided to stay with Ayumu until it returned. She contacted her teacher whom she calls Dai-sensei.

Dai-sensei
That wasn't the only weird character Ayumu met, he also met Seraphim. A vampire ninja. Yes that's right. Vampire Ninja. She appeared out of nowhere in his house while he was having dinner with Eucliwood and Haruna. The reason for it was because she wanted to ask Eucliwood for help dealing with the problems in her village. Eucliwood rejected her request and told Ayumu to send her away. Things got out of hand as Seraphim challenged Ayumu to a battle to determine who would serve Eucliwood better. She couldn't believe how a useless powerless man could serve Eucliwood and she deserved better. Ayumu won the battle and Seraphim told him that she would go home as promised. But, when he got home, Seraphim was there and she decided to stay to serve Eucliwood by becoming Ayumu's "servant". She doesn't particularly like Ayumu in the beginning and calls him "a piece if shi*t". She still does it though. After meeting these people, he found out why Eucliwood or as he calls her ,Yuu, doesn't speak. Her powers could change fate and therefore was very dangerous. Even the words she spoke could cast of a spell. That is why she suppresses her emotions and does not talk as well as wears amour so that her magic powers would be controlled

Seraphim
Ayumu was not the only person she brought back to life. He wasn't the only zombie in the world. There was another. They refer to him as The King of the Night. Eucliwood once sent him away by saying the word disappear. This was because he killed a person (which seems to be an important person) and could not be forgiven. He was not dead but he simply disappeared. He returned and looked for Eucliwood. He wanted to die. He was bored of being immortal and blamed Eucliwood for it. He threatened Eucliwood to summon a huge Megalo that would destroy the world and if not, he would hurt her friends. Eucliwood was refered to the bringer of death according to The King of the Night. Wherever she went, death follows as she had the power to alter fate. She didn't want to hurt her friends any more and ran away from them. She soon returned to Ayumu's house but only to find that The King of the Night was waiting for her. She followed him to his apartment.
The King of the Night
Ayumu and Haruna found her in his apartment with the info given by Yuki. (Who is supposedly Ayumu's wife as he accidently kissed her. Yuki is also a vampire ninja and according to their code, their first kiss would be the person the marry. Ayumu didn't kiss her on purpose but he was kicked on the back by Haruna and fell forward causing him to kiss Yuki.) He wanted Eucliwood to return home. Things got messy and The King of the Night was about to be captured the vampire ninjas and made his leave with Eucliwood in his arms. Ayumu reached out to her but as their hands touched, Eucliwood pulled back. She didn't want to hurt her friends any more. She didn't want to cause them any more pain. After being pulled away from him, he went into depression."Why didn't she grab my hand?"  He then saved Yuki from a bomb that was placed of her head by The king of the Night. He took the bomb and jumped of the building as he was immortal and had no fear of death. He blew up into pieces but soon regenerated as Haruna and Seraphim went around collecting his scattered body parts.

Yuki and Haruna with a bomb on her head
When he was finally whole again, he didn't want to wake up. Haruna's sensei (teacher) then gave her the power to go into Ayumu's dream and talk some sense into him. He soon woke up and went after the King of the Night determine to bring Eucliwood back. Ayumu found The King of the Night and  fought him  slapping some sense into him. He of course won the fight. The King of the Night soon understood that it was not Eucliwood's fault for bringing him back to life. He told her to end his life and said that if he was not dead, turn him into a penguin. "I like penguins" those were his last words. Ayumu was afraid that Eucliwood would leave him again and caught hold of her asking her to never leave his side. And for the first time, Eucliwood spoke saying that she would stay.

This anime is super interesting and you guys should watch it. The funniest part of this anime is alwasy when he change into a Masou Shouja which changes his clothes into some weird cosplay uniform. It is HI-LA-RIOUS since he gain power from Haruna. There might be one or twon characters that I didn't mention. They didn't really stand out but they might in the second season. Oh and Haruna soon regained her power during their battle with The King of the Night. This is only season 1 of course. I will be starting season 2 tonight! hohoho. ( I need a life...) Oh and I almost forgot. At the end of the episode, a new character shows up. A girl with pink hair. I will also be writing about season 2 when I finish watching.


Enjoy Kore wa zombie desu ka?~

11 Eyes



11 Eyes. It's been a long time since I've watched fantasy anime. This anime has a very interesting plot. It starts as these 7 people have crystal like power within them. They are called fragments. One day when Kakeru and Yuka are walking to a market, they were suddenly pulled into another world. They call it the Red night. There, they met other people who also have fragments in their body. They first met Misuzu Kusakabe. She helped them survive that world by protecting them against the dark spirit. The soon met other people who were also puled into that world. They soon discovered that the creator of the world was a with called Liselotte. She was immortal and there is no killing her but to only seal her away. The black knights were the one who sealed her away but they had to pay a high price in order to do that. They had to give up their human form and transform into hideous creatures. They became the protectors of Liselotte's sealing and will keep the world safe from being destroyed. Keep in mind that when she was sealed she was transformed into a pure soul and looks innocent. Below is how she really looks like.

Liselotte's true form
The fragments which are pulled into the Red Night have the power to release the seal. The black knights fought them when they first entered giving them the wrong impression that they were evil. Kakeru and his friends killed 3 of the 5 knights and then did they only find out the truth behind their actions. They met Shiori Momono who was sent from an holy organization to help them prevent the world from being destroyed and to also explain to them what is happening. All 7 fragments: Kakeru, Yuka, Misuzu,Yukiko , Takahisa, Shiori and Kukuri posses a certain power.

Eye of Aeon (left)

Kakeru has the Eye of Aeon which has the power to see the future and Yuka has the power to nullify magic, Misuzu is from a strong a powerful clan which already gives her power. She can summon 5 different swords each possessing a different power. Yukiko has regeneration ability and cannot die but she also has incredible combat skills and speed since she was from a war country and was forced to fight. Takahisa's can summon fire; he was raised by a lady called Saiko who picked him up from the streets as he was abandoned by his parents.  Shiori's powers are a little blur from my point of view. She uses magic from the organization by creating magic circles. Kukuri actually resembles Kakeru's older sister who took her own life 7 years ago. Kukuri is actually not who she is. She is an angel called Demiourgos. Demiourgos was Kukuri's guardian angel when she was still alive. Kukuri also posses a fragment which also gave her power but since she took her own life, the fragment is powerless. Demiourgos gets her power form being an angel. Not by a fragment. 
Misuzu's 5  swords 

The story continues as they continue to battle the black knights and end the Red Night. Shiori lost her life battling the black knights as she was driven from pain and sorrow that they took Takahisa away from her. She wanted revenge.  Takahisa's adopted parent-Saiko, was killed by one of the black knights as they came from the Red Night into their own world. Takahisa was consumed by anger and went after the black knight destroying the city on his way. He didn't know that the black knight that he was chasing was merely an illusion. Yukiko was forced to kill him and if not, the whole city would be in flames. The black knights took the fragment from Shiori as she was wounded causing her to lose her regenerating ability and soon die. Yukiko actually has spilt personalities. With her glasses on, she is a very sweet natured girl. But, without her glasses, she can be very terrifying.

Takahisa and Yukiko
This anime is very hard to explain as the there are many facts to be considered. I like the story line and the fact that they incorporated many details. It is very unpredictable. 11 eyes only has 12 episodes. Episode 12 supposedly ends the whole story as they defeated Liselotte and went back to their own world resetting everything. Episode 13 is a bit of a comedy. Kakeru and his friends were then again pulled into another world. This time they called it the Pink Night. How ironic. When the entered that world, their powers got messed up. It is hilarious. I am surprised that they actually got to finish this anime in 11 episodes. They are no further questions as everything was well explained in the episodes. There might be a few points where I didn't understand but they explained enough to ease my curiosities. I hope that there will be season 2 although I'm not sure what I'm looking forward in that season. It will be interesting if the story continues


Enjoy 11 Eyes~

Hotsukoi Limited (First Love Limited.)

Okay. First of all, this anime is a bit "revealing" if you get what I mean but even so, the storyline and plot of the story is very interesting and I like it very much. It goes as 8 school girls (5 in middle school, 3 in high school) experience their first love.

The 8 girls:
~Ayumi Arihara
~Kei Enomoto
~Koyoi Bessho
~Rika Dobashi
~Nao Chikura
~Misaki Yamamoto (high school student)
~Yuu Enomoto (high school student)
~Meguru Watase (high school student)


The episode starts as all of them walked home together and started talking about first love and love confessions. One girl-Ayumi, was talking about how it would be like having a guy confessed to her and how happy she would be if one did. She didn't know that in the middle on nowhere, Zaitsu Misao (high schooler) appeared out of no where and confessed to her. Zaitsu Misao is no ordinary person. He is huge and gives off a scary aura like a giant. She didn't want to reject him because she was afraid of what would happen if she did. Misoa then started to follow her to school everyday and follow her back to her house too. She felt annoyed by it and told him to stop. She then got into trouble as she was kidnapped by Misao's enemies as they want to use her as bait to lure him into their base and beat him up. Things didn't go as plan but everything turned out well. Ayumi doesn't like Misao but she likes his younger brother, Mamoru, who happens to be in the same class as her. It all started when he carried her to the infirmary as she was not feeling well. Misao still hasn't got his reply from Ayumi whether she agrees to go out with him or not. Even though she told him to stop following her from to school and back home, he still does it in secret to make sure she's safe. The story then continues as other character in the episode start to develop feelings for the girls.
Mamoru
Misao

                                           
The boys:
~Etsu Kusuda
~Haruto Terai
~Hiroyuki Sagobe
~Yuuji Arihara (high school student)
~Yoshihiko Bessho (high school student)
~Mamoru Zaitsu
~Misao Zaitsu (high school student)

These boys started to develop feelings for the girls. I especially liked the fact where one of the girls-Kei Enomoto said that she liked boys based on their looks. She always said that looks were the most important thing. That was before she fell for Etsu Kusuda. She calls him "kappa face" and he calls her an old lady. She's always mean to him and doesn't like him very much but she soon develop feelings for him and so did he for her.

Enomoto and Kusuda

Haruto Terai. He is basically what you call a nerd. He doesn't excel in sports very well but he is trying hard to impress Rika Dobashi- a girl who has a great sport talent. They are in the same club which is the tennis club and Terai was having problems since he couldn't even hit the tennis ball. Rika felt sorry for him and trained him to become a better player. The training paid off and Terai was able to play tennis quite well. He then confessed to her saying that he likes her and he wises that he didn't improve so that she could go on training him, another way of saying spending time with him. Surprisingly, Rika didn't reject him but told him that they should start going out together.

Terai and Rika

To phrase things short, the other boys also found feelings for the girls. Hiroyuki Sagobe fell for Nao Chikura when he bumped into her in front of the class doorway. It was a hard bump. He fell down and his glasses came off. Chikura apologized and helped him put his glasses back on. Sagobe fell in love according to the soft, gentle way she spoke to him. As for Mamoru Zaitsu, he didn't have any feelings for Ayumi but he had feelings for Misaki Yamamoto. Even though she was a high school student and he was only in middle school, he still had a crush for her and wished that she would see him as a man and not as a younger brother as she lives next door. This is when a love triangle breaks in between Yoshihiki Bessho, Yuuji Arihara and Misaki Yamamoto.

The diagram that explains everything
In the beginning, Misaki did not want to be in love as it was troublesome and would only cause pain.But, after Yuuji Arihara gave her a lollipop to make his theory clear that his sister was won over by candy, she fell in love with him. Of course Yuuji didn't have any feelings for her. He just wanted to clarify his theory. The person who like Misaki other than Mamoru is Yoshihiko. If you guys can see the love triangle, it is very complicated (=.=) It's like A love B but B love C but C love D and it goes on and on and on. In the end of the series, things started to work out. Sogabe confessed to Chikura but since she didn't feel the same way towwards him, they did not start dating. Kusuda shouted that he loved Enomoto and in returned she confessed to him that she felt the same way. Everything  worked out and as for those who didn't get to be with the ones they like, she started to consider other possibilities. Yuuji Arihara who didn't like Misaki started to let his sister go after she saw that she had feelings for Mamoru and wanted to get closer to Misaki. Ayumi knew that Mamoru was never going to like her as long as he still liked Miskai so she considered going out with his elder brother-Misao.

There are also other characters in the story who experience the same thing but they are not the main characters. Those characters are Takei and Yukito Renjou. Meguru watase is actually a olympic level swimmer when she was a middle school student. She stopped swimming when she entered high school as she disliked wearing a swimsuit and feels awkward when people stare at her. She likes Takei who happens to also be from her middle school. She tries hard to impress him and wants him to see her as a woman. Not a rival. Yukito Renjou goes to Kaitei High Schol. Chikura Nao admires his painting that is displayed in the art room and wants to create a painting like that. Renjou went to her school and saw her painting in the art room. The became close as he helped her finish her painting.

Renjou and Chikura


This anime is very interesting as it explains how first love can be complicated and unpredictable. It may not be what you think. So ....Are you in love?
