Electric Barrier Reviews

Greetings, it is time once again. I have emerged from my mysterious and dank cave, as I do once every year, to bring you my thoughts on the Japanese Animations I have viewed whilst holed up in the deepest depths of the earth. Please do not speak to me, for I am not used to human contact. As always I watched a lot of anime this year, I'm not gonna go over all of them but mention the most notable ones giving them awards, and then announce the top 3 anime of the year. Are you ready? Here we go! Let's PAAAARTY! PUT YA GUNS ON! First and foremost, the easiest one: Best Still Airing Show: Chihayafuru Season 3 Do I need to explain it? It's Chihayafuru! A great series that I started watching I believe early this year, or maybe late last year, in preparation for this 3rd season. Chihayafuru is a josei(a series meant for adult women) about a girl named Chihaya trying to become the Queen of Karuta and lead her Karuta team to victory. What's Karuta? Well, technically,

It's totally 2014 now, so let's do this. BEST ANIMU OF TEH YEER Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S: Because Madoka dammit, that was great. There is no doubt it's the anime of the year, it was the one I enjoyed the most. It was fucking fantastic and the best sequel/second season to an anime I've ever seen. SECOND BEST ANIMU OF TEH YEER Little Busters ~Refrain~: Best "Key's Super Cry-Cry Time" since Clannad: After Story THIRD BEST ANIMU OF TEH YEER Attack on Titan: Highly original, and it's really popular but also good somehow. Downside is it tries too hard to be dark and dramatic. When you got what AOT had, you don't need to have a guy shoot himself, for example. Still really great and a good watch. SOME OTHER GOOD STUFF Gintama Enchousen: Aw yeah. Kyousou Giga TV: Very imaginative. Suisei no Gargantia: I just started watching is actually, but it's really good. Rozen Maiden 2013: It's Rozen Maiden. Kyoukai no Kanata: It's been a w

Every time I thought of doing a review of Index, I kept thinking "Nah, I'll just endlessly compare it to Railgun.". It really would have been me being all like "Index sucks because Railgun did all this shit better 3/5 because it was still pretty enjoyable for the most part." So, rather than do that, why don't I just talk about why I feel this way and cut out the middle man? 1. Better Setting: Index is also set in Academy City, but it also goes into the "Magic Side" of things. The magic side of things doesn't get interesting in the least until that whole "New Testament" series, where the intricacies of it get explained better. Even then, the Science Side is just way more interesting. Until later on, the Magic Side wasn't anywhere near as compelling or fleshed out as the Science Side. We got a cool pseudo-science explanation for how esper powers work(it's basically Spiral Energy), but none for how magic works beyond the generi

Now, let's take a look at an anime I don't feel ashamed of liking and giving the score I gave it. Yes, I finished watching Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S(for sisters and also second season), and it was glorious. For all intents and purposes, it's better than the first season. Better story, better action, better music, better character development, and also better animation. It was this show that allowed the Railgun series to become my #1 anime. Allow me to tell you why! The story goes like this: During the second half of Misaka Mikoto(our Main Character)'s summer vacation, she gets dragged into yet another mystery. Judgement has been getting tons of reports of cash cards in envelopes lying around in alleyways. Mikoto doesn't think much of this, but when she overhears some punks talking about the culprit, she follows them to said culprit's hideout. The culprit, a very odd girl in a lab coat, mentions something about her being "The Original"(she's a

Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, AKA A Certain Scientific Railgun, is one of my favourite sci-fi series ever. That being said, I'm going to try to not just gush all over the place. This is especially because I think the second season is better. Let's go! Story: The story is about a group a friends in the technological metropolis of Academy City who must solve the mysterious happenings in School District 7. They are espers, people who can use Psychic Powers. One has the ability to keep the temperature of anything she touches constant, one can teleport, one is an Electromaster, and the last has no powers(though she is revealed to have wind powers if she ever awakens to them). Their powers Rank Level 0, Level 1, Level 4, and Level 5. Odd considering that they are literally opposites in social standing, as your status raises with level. As the story begins, strange occurrences have been happening in which criminal espers are showing power higher than their levels should be capable of. T
