If Pokemon Was Real?

Published January 31, 2015 by Shay Taree

I’ve liked Pokemon since I was a kid and even though I don’t watch the show as much as I used to I still do throughly enjoy the entire Pokemon franchise.

But this got me thinking about what if Pokemon was real? I mean I could just picture going on adventures with my friends, battling with our Pokemon, and of course catching Pokemon.

The world of Pokemon has always been fascinating to me. I mean I would love to have Pokemon help out with chores like Mr. Mime did for Ash’s mom or also just having a Pokemon for a friend and companion like Ash’s Pikachu. It would just be something astounding and wonderful.

But hold on one second what if Pokemon was actually real but we just haven’t discovered them yet or what if they did once live long ago but they died out or migrated elsewhere. Now wouldn’t that be crazy. You never know what may have happened long ago or what may happen in the future.

I did though find on the internet pictures of what the 3 starter Pokemon from the red and blue versions of the video games would look like if they were real.

Bulbasaur:

Squirtle:

These images just looked really cool to me even though they don’t look as cuddly and nice as they do animated but still it’s very neat.

But what do you think about all of this? Leave your comments below regarding this topic and of course I will always respond.

Day 29: An anime you wished was real?

Hmmmmmm as I’ve noted before I’ve seen a lot of anime’s and each one is so vastly different that imagining it as real took some narrowing down.

While I love the romance anime’s I feel like those could be real life regardless depending on the romance anime. For thrillers while exciting I doubt I would make it to the end since I’d probably try and run away first.

So that leaves an adventure anime and in this case I decided to go with Inuyasha

IMG_8696
because well it has a little bit of everything. It has adventure since you would be traveling back and forth between the present and feudal Japan, thriller because well you can of course die, and then of course there is romance since who wouldn’t try and win over Sesshomaru!

IMG_8697
So that is my pick for today’s question and once again I extend the question to the followers of my blog. What anime do you wish was real? Comment below with an answer and of course I will always answer back since you are all also my friends. So…..

Day 28: Favorite quote from any anime character?

I love anime quotes so this question once again took some research to find a quote that I really liked and actually struck a cord with me.

The quote that chose if from the very funny and short Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist! The quote is “How can you move forward if you keep reverting the past.”

The reason why I like this quote is because you honestly can’t move forward with your life if there is something in your past that is holding you back. It pretty much a reminder that you should leave the past where it is and let it go or at least learn from it. Don’t let it stop you from doing that you want or need to do. Don’t let your past stop you from chasing your dreams, falling in love, or conquering a fear.

So there ends day 28 which means there are 2 days to go. I’ve really enjoyed this so far. But let me know below what your favorite anime quote is. I would love to know!

Wolf Girl And Black Prince Anime Review

Published January 29, 2015 by Shay Taree

I’ve finally gotten a chance to watch an anime that I had been wanting to watch since I heard about it and that’s Wolf Girl and Black Prince. I had heard about this anime via Crunchyroll and also via an anime social media app that I frequent on called Anime Amino.

Like usual I waited until the anime was done airing before I watched it so that I could marathon it and wow was it worth the wait.

I immediately got hooked on the anime just by the opening song alone but then once it started with the main character Erika being a perpetual liar so that she can be welcomed by new friends by making up that she has a boyfriend. At first they believe her but after seeing no proof they start to think she is lying (which she is). Erika then takes a picture of random boy just to say that she has a picture but it turns out to be the most popular boy in school Kyoya Sata.

IMG_8682
To keep up the lie Kyoya pretends to be her boyfriend but treats her like a dog (literally) since he isn’t as sweet as he looks.

Pretty much after seeing all this happen after the first or second episode I was like I have to see more!!!! “o(*^▽^*)o” The anime then takes you through Erika and Kyoya’s relationship as they go from pretend boyfriend and girlfriend to actual boyfriend and girlfriend.

IMG_8683 Awww so sweet!!! ♡(๑′ᴗ‵๑)♡
As far as the characters go I actually really liked the female lead Erika because to me she acted like many want to act. Especially when it came to doing couple things because I’m sure that every girl pictures doing all the cliche things with whomever they like or are with at the time.

As for Kyoya, well I of course liked him because hey he is a very cute guy but throughout the series I would like and dislike him during certain parts. But hey I’m guess that’s what the producers wanted you to feel.

One part in particular is what I like to call the infamous water scene with Erika and Kyoya when he basically played a joke on her by pretending that he actually had mural feelings for her.

IMG_8684
At first it for my hopes up but once I realized that he was joking I immediately didn’t like him and was happy when Erika threw her glass of water on him. To me that was what he deserved and I could tell from the look on his face that he was shocked that she did that.

Now I can’t forget the music in the show which was amazing. My favorite some though in the series was of course the opening. It’s call Love Good Time and I was hooked onto the beat by the first episode. Even now I still play that song all the time on my phone and it’s one opening that I never skipped and would just let play for every episode.

So if you like shoujo anime’s and anime’s that put on an emotional roller coaster in some parts then you will definitely enjoy Wolf girl and Black Prince. You can watch it on Crunchyroll and the show is about 12 episodes so it’s pretty short. Also there is manga that is currently still on going and I plan to read it just to see what happens next.

Day 27: Most Badass Scene From Any Anime Character?

So of course like most of these challenges it took me a long time to figure out what kind of answer I would give for today’s challenge question. But I finally came up with an answer.

So for me the most badass scene had to be when Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho during the Dark Tournament arc had to fight in 3 fights back to back. That was just super awesome because he used moves and techniques that he had yet to use before. You got to see his full power which was really cool and had me wanting to watch it over and over.

IMG_8680
To be honest it’s actually one of my favorite scenes in Yu Yu Hakusho and an episode that I go back and watch over and over again.

But how about you guys. What is the most badass scene you’ve seen from an anime character? I would love to know!

So there ends day 27 which means there are only 3 days left!

Day 26: Best Anime Fight?

As always there are just way to many fights in anime that I’ve seen to try to narrow it down to one but of course I had to.

So the best fight I’ve seen in an anime had to of course go to Dragon Ball Z. That show had so many amazing and epic fights that I couldn’t help but automatically think of DBZ as soon as I read the question.

So my favorite fight of that series has to be Goku Vs Majin Vegeta.

IMG_8670
That fight was just amazing and I could honestly watch it over and over again. But what about everyone else? What is your favorite fight in an anime?

So there ends day 26 and once again comment below about your favorite anime fight.

Kuroko’s Basketball Episode 3 Review!

Published January 27, 2015 by Shay Taree

Alright so this past Sunday episode 3 of the 3rd season of Kuroko’s basketball aired and this episode was action from beginning to end.

Not only did you get to see the conclusion of the match but you also got to see more of the background story concerning Haizaki and his history with the Generation Of Miracles.

IMG_8667
The episode of course starts off where it left of with Kise facing Haizaki. It was learned in the previous episode that Haizaki pillages other players moves which leaves the player unable to perform that move anymore. This throw a Kise for a loop because he copies moves and like Aomine says he only has a small pool to choose from. This causes Kise to get a little well let’s just say that Kise wasn’t himself.

Then in a flashback you see why Haizaki doesn’t like the Generation Of Miracles based off a street ball match that he played in the gentleman he played ends up saying something along the lines with he is as good as the Generation Of Miracles. This of course makes Haizaki mad.

In another flashback it shows Akashi telling Hazaki he needs to quit and then after shows Kuroko speaking to Haizaki. Haizaki is standing in front of what looks like a furnace and contemplating throwing his shoes in which he ultimately does.

IMG_8668
Once it restarts back to the match Kuroko ends up standing up and tell Kise that he can do it which causes Kise to jump into gear and start using moves from the Generation Of Miracles which is amazing!

IMG_8663
Of course the episode ends with Kise’s team winning and then now the final four have been announced! So let the finals begin!

Overall I loved this episode! Kise has to be one of my favorite Generation Of Miracles so being able to see him show off his copying skills was one of my favorite parts.

So if you haven’t checked out Kuroko’s Basketball yet you definitely should its a good anime that will have you wanting to play basketball.

Day 25: Saddest Anime Death?

So there were a few deaths in anime that made me sad but I had to choose one and also separate it from saddest moments but I finally came up with one.

So for my saddest death it is a spoiler for Clannad After Story so if you haven’t seen it yet, are currently watching it, or plan to watch it then you may want to skip today’s post, but if not then keep reading.

So what I chose for saddest death was Nagisa’s death in Clannad After Story.

IMG_8660
It was so unexpected that I didn’t know what to think and all I could think was oh no what’s going to happen to Tomoya and also to their new baby girl.

IMG_8661
The death of Nagisa definitely made me cry and shed more than a few tears. Especially when Tomoya started to cry and sounded so heart broken. That just made me cry even harder.

IMG_8662
So there ends day 25….whew this 30 day challenge is almost over. But below in the comments let me know what was the saddest death in an anime for you.

Day 24: Moment That Shocked You The Most In Any Anime?

This took a lot of thinking since I’ve seen a few anime’s that left me shocked but I finally decided on one. Of course it had to go to a thriller or mystery anime since those always leave the viewers shocked at some point.

But I decided to go with Mirai Nikki (The Future Diary). The part that I’m going to talk about is a spoiler for the series so if you haven’t seen the series, are currently watching it, or plan to watch it stop reading here. But if you don’t mind spoilers, have already seen the show, or don’t plan to watch it then continue reading.

Anyways though, the part that was most surprising has to be when you find out that she is the 2nd Yuno and that the original Yuno had actually died. That really blew my mind and made me have a WTF moment. Not many anime’s can cause me to do that so good job Mirai Nikki!

There are other surprising moments in that series but that was one that definitely stuck out for me. So if you like be surprised or just love thriller it mystery anime’s then watch Mirai Nikki! I’m sure you will love it!

So there ends day 24 of the 30 day anime challenge and I hope you all enjoyed it. But what anime moment really surprised you? Let me know by commenting below.

Day 23: Favorite Attack Someone Used In An Anime?

My favorite attack that was used in an anime has to be Hiei’s Dragon of the Darkness Flame Attack!

2015/01/img_8650.jpg
When Hiei first did that attack during the dark tournament arc of Yu Yu Hakusho it automatically became one of my favorite attacks that was used during that arc.

Although the attack leaves Hiei’s arm looking like chard piece of meat (yuck it definitely does its job since when it was used his opponent was just nothing but cinders.

2015/01/img_8652.png o(>▂<)o
That is definitely one attack I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of. Yikes!! ╭(×_×)╮

So that's the end of day 23 and we are almost at the end of this 30 day challenge. But what is your favorite attack that has been used in an anime? I would love to know!
