Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji (Season One, Warning: SPOILER ALERT)

Many people know of Black Butler (or Kuroshitsuji as it's better known). I have not read the manga yet but I have watched the anime and part of the second musical.

This series is (as afore mentioned) an anime, manga and musical that is well known at this time. It's about a boy (Ciel Phantomhive) who lost his family in a fire and then made a contract with a demon. The demon became his butler and will serve him until the day he dies which he'll then be able to eat his soul.

On the other side of this story, there is the shinigamis (or death gods) who are in charge of guiding souls to their proper place. They despise demons and to have one like Ciel's butler (who's name is Sebastian Michaelis) is an abomination to them. Or most of them anyways. When it comes to Grell Sutcliffe, a transvestite, for lack of a better word, shinigami who's in love with the demon butler.

This series has two seasons with around 25 episodes each, including the OVA's (Ciel and Wonderland being one of them). It's action packed and very worth watching with many new people added almost each episode.

I'd give it a 9 out of 10 just because at times I feel like it gets a bit repetitive and according to a friend of mine, the anime's characters are somewhat ruined when compared to the manga. But it's still a good series and worth watching.

The Wallflower (anime + manga. Warning: SPOILER ALERT)

If you're into laughing then this show is definitely for you. I haven't read the manga yet, but a friend of mine tells me that it differs from the anime. However, they're both still extremely hilarious.

There are 25 episodes in the series which focuses on Sunako Nakahara, a "gothic" girl whos' into horror, gore and very weird things. She believes herself to be ugly but if she tried she'd be very pretty. There are four amazing beautiful boys in this anime as well, Kyohei, Takenaga, Yuki and Ranmaru (these four are the "hottest" boys in their town and get gushed over by girls twenty four seven) who are living in Sunako's aunt's house without rent. The catch is, that for them to keep having no rent, they must turn Sunako into a lady which is a near impossible job.

This anime has barely any romance in it although you can tell at times that Kyohei and Sunako have feelings for eachother. If it weren't for the fact that Sunako broke out into huge nose bleeds every time she sees something brilliant and beautiful, she'd be with him probably.

In the end, this anime is really for anyone who wants a good laugh. I'd only give it an eight out of ten because it gets rather frustrating at times to watch since the art goes from blank chibi to real anime and Sunako is almost always in chibi form. But other than that, the anime is very good.

-Jann

Enjoy some screenies that I took of the last few episodes.

This is Auntie, Sunako's aunt and the lady that is threatening to take away the free rent if the four boys don't turn Sunako into a lady.

One of the more intimate moments between Kyohei and Sunako.

Noi and Kyohei.

Kyohei.

All the boys and Noi, Takenaga's love interest. From left to right we have Takenage (the intellectual), Ranmaru (the ladies man), Noi, Kyohei, and Yuki (the cute one).

Kyohei in all his brilliance.

Sunako. I don't like her hair, but her dress is fine. Last ball where she's supposed to be presented as a "lady" to Auntie and her friends.

Sunako fell and Kyohei probably got a boner, though you can't tell.

Sunako. This is when she isn't in chibi form and as you can see, she's not ugly but for because she's super creepy, everyone thinks she is.

I DO NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM OWN THIS ANIME OR MANGA. NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED.

Junjou Romantica (Season One and Two-- Warning: SPOILER ALERT)

Junjou Romantica, as some of you may already know, is an anime about three couples. The first couple, which is the main couple, is Misaki Takahashi, an eighteen year old boy who moved into his brother's friend's place so he could leave him and his wife alone and wouldn't be a burden. Akihiko Usagi is the guy he's living with who's a well known author of boy love mangas amongst other things. The two begin to get intimate and have to face many challenges, such as Misaki admitting his love, etc. Usagi is also very child like and has a huge collection of stuffed bears.

The second couple is, Nowaki and Hiroki. Hiroki is a professor as well and is a friend of Akihiko. One day he meets a guy (Nowaki) and his life is completely turned upside down by the huge, immature, upfront, and confusing man.

The third couple is Miyagi and Shinobu. Miyagi is a professor at a college and Shinobu is the younger brother of his exwife. The two go on a wild ride of emotions when Shinobu declares his love for Miyagi and the man slowly comes to turns with his own feelings and tortured past.

This IS a yaoi, so if you're not into boy x boy then I don't suggest watching this anime.

All in all, this anime is really good. I'd give it an eight out of ten stars because I really didn't like the ending. Anyways, enjoy some screenies that I took and go buy and support the anime!
