Detective Haika

A story about people surrounded by walls. Living in fear of titans. I'm sure people have seen a lot of this review, so maybe this will be converted into a quick one. So when Eren, Mikasa and Armin was a kid, a collosal titan broke the wall entrance. Many titans entered the wall. One of them killed, err... one of them ate Eren's mother. Meanwhile, it was unknown about Eren's father whereabouts who happens to be in an adventure somewhere (or research).

Since then Eren, Mikasa and Armin decided to join the scouting legion and kill titans. Many of them are eaten, including Eren. Then everyone find out that Eren didn't die, because he could turn into titans. He protected Mikasa and destroy the titans. Later, Eren was in court. Whether he should be handed to survey corps with Rivaille like he wanted to, or to be handed to military police and get killed. Eren ends up being in the survey corps, and so are the others who followed him to survey corps later. In process of capturing female titan, many of Rivaille's squad died. And the female titan eventually ran away.
Soon, they doubt Annie. Armin pretend to ask for Annie's help to hide Eren until they are in safe place, while Jean disguised as Eren and pretend to be captured. It was an ambush for Annie. But she managed to turn to female titan and fought Eren. She lost and was frozen solid. In the manga, it was already told that the other titans who appears when Eren was a kid were Bertolt and Reiner as the collosal titan and armored titan. In the OVA, it was revealed that one of the Rivaille's squad escape because her city was attacked by titans. She ran as fast as her legs would carry her and keep writting her journal every details. And then, she met a titan lurking in the forest. The titan talks and it thought she was someone else. She kept writting her journal until her head was eaten and her body was put in a tree. Rivaille squad discover her journal, and Hanji Zoe make it as a proof that it's important to investigate titans more.

I don't know which option you should choose. I could never advise you on that... No matter what kind of wisdom dictates you the option you pick, no one will be able to tell if it's right or wrong until you arrive to some sort of outcome from your choice. The only thing we're allowed to do... is believe that we won't regret the choice we made.

Don't summarize my life with such cheap words.

In english called Croisée in a Foreign Labyrinth mean the crossroads in of a foreign maze. In France called La Croisée dans un Labyrinthe Étranger which I don't really catch the words through hearing it in every episodes. It's about Yune, a girl from Japan who come to Paris. She's brought by Oscar to work at a gallery du Roy helping Claude. Claude is a worker who repair things and sell things such as accessories and etc. At first, Claude find Yune's existence is troublesome, but later he really cares for her, that he even mention several times that she worth more than anything in the shop or customers. In Paris, Yune learn many things such as what they have for breakfast, how's the weather and people's activity along with their personalities. Sometimes Yune and Claude have problems and tends to have argument because their cultures are not the same. Then they tried to enjoy each other cultures, desperately to fit in. Oscar often leave them alone together and have fun on his own travelling. Every episodes show that Claude deeply cares for her and tend to scold her so that she doesn't repeat the same mistake and learn. And there's something interesting. Claude's past. I won't spoil it. Just watch.

Cute isn't she? Lolicon? Well? What do you think? Many people pass this anime and doesn't watch it. But I think this anime worth to watch. Do you know Naruto anime? She looks like Hinata Hyuga. Right? Maybe she is Naruto and Hinata's child?

Yune: Master Claude, do you not value your customers?
Claude: I value you more.

Also called as The Half Broken Music Box. This anime only an OVA nothing more. It's about a robot girl (they call it parents) androids which are made to help humans and give them services. Keiichiro a man who lived by himself happens to stumble upon one of the android in a rainy day. The android was sitting on a chair holding a flower. Keiichiro pity her and brought her home (He just brought a LOLICON HOME). Unfortunately she's not working. She's... well... in off mode.
So Keiichiro later brought her to parents shop, he intend to repair her. Unfortunately, it can't be repaired. The next morning the android on herself which makes Keiichiro shocked and gave her a name "Flower" because she was holding the flower when Keiichiro found her. Thus, Keiichiro life's getting more rainbow than his usual alone days. He loves to see the android smile, it makes him happy too. He teach her many things that she can't.
Flower have a fear if she didn't do her best, she would be dumped just like what her previous master did to her. So Flower works hard everyday. Until then she got sick (umm... broken). She wants to see the world, she wants to go to the beach, even Keiichiro promised her that he would take her to the beach someday. But since she was in weak mode and about to fade, Keiichiro fulfill her wish to see the beach. They went there... And... I will leave the ending to your interpretation.

Keiichiro: We can go next year, right?
Flower: I see... Since we'll be together... forever.

Also known as Midori Days. It's about Midori Kasugano who goes to an elite school and have a crush on Seiji from different school, without Seiji knowing her existence. Midori just looked at Seiji from afar and liked him. Then one day... Yeah... Midori become Seiji's right hand! Which is logically impossible. But well yeah, that's the author's fantasy. Got a problem? Knock on their doors. Despite that, it have great romance. I'm sure the author's focusing on the romance more than the plot. Especially in the anime. If in the manga, it's more comedy.

Thus, Midori have great days with Seiji. Seiji at first reluctant to play along, later he noticed Midori's true love and fell in love with her. Even though he needs to get along with some embarrassment about her bold confessions. Midori loves to make her shirts. And all of the shirts written Love Seiji. Since Midori is in Seiji's right hand, his real body is sleeping in a deep slumber which makes her mother really worried.

Midori have a childhoood friend named Kouta. He likes Midori. But that probably only revealed in the manga. I guess the anime doesn't really give hints to that. And Ayase who happens to be Seiji classmate, likes Seiji since he saves her from bad guys. If you really want to know the detail, you need to read the manga about Ayase and Kouta and others characters that are not in the anime. Because the anime is mainly romance in Seiji and Midori only I guess. I forgot to say Seiji is someone who loves to fight... Well actually he's only saving his kouhai, Miyahara everyday. I will say this bluntly, the manga's story plot is better than the anime. Besides it have a comedy, it also have better plot. 1st is Ayase confession, 2nd is Kouta feelings, 3rd is how Midori date is not in the anime (which made me felt so down she just disappeared like that). This story sounds like fairy tale doesn't it?

I finally realize something. That it can't stay this way forever. That I can't run away... Not from who I really am...
~Midori Kasugano

In English translation, it's called "Stella Women’s Academy, High School Division Class C³". The story first start by Yura Yamato point of view. She just entered the school and end up in one of the room at the dorm. In there, she found a gun under the pillow. While she wonders what kind of school have a gun and who it might belongs to, she meet Rento, Karila, Yachiyo and Honoka whom struggled to make Yura as one of their members. It was an airsoft club with Sonora as their leader who happens to be Yura's roommate. Since then, they all start playing airsoft together in their base camp. As the time goes by, Yura enjoyed it and learn about it very much, suddenly she become better and better each day. Until one day when Sonora's rival, Rin, challenged her and her team to play airsoft with her. This is the start of all the plot conflict. Yura is scared and run away from her team who saved her and struggle to win, in the end she surrendered which made Sonora's anger.



Days passed, then Yura decided to cut short her hair and train in playing airsoft more. They defeated another airsoft team, and have a gun shooting machine for festival. Someone targeted Sonora so she couldn't participate in the airsoft competition because of her injury, she needs to be treated in the hospital for weeks, Yura blamed herself for that and decided to be the leader for the club. And this where she got hit but zombied when fighting Rin Haruna. Nobody mind about the cheat, but Yura felt guilty and confused.

At first, it's a bit boring, but then the story plot getting interesting and have wise things. For example like, do not give up. My favorite part is when Yura betray her friends and joined Rin team. After that she got dumped by Rin because of her selfishness thinking about herself not for the team. And Yura realized that all she was focusing only to just win the game.

Why didn't you fight to the end? You play airsoft without any resolve. That attitude... is despicable. What are you fighting for?
~Haruna Rin

I'm speechless of their poses, but oh well. Steins Gate. I'm also not sure at first what does it meant, but it actually meant something that the club member named. Probably means gate to the past or future. If you have headache problem, maybe I won't recommend this anime. Why? Because this story line is like, first even until the end, and it will go back from the end to the first event occurred. It's kinda confusing, but it's okay if you could handle it. Because many curiosity will appear in your head when you watch the anime, and you won't stop because of the curiousness.

I can't really tell much about the characters, because it will spoil every plot, so I guess I will tell the main thing. The mad scientist, Hooin Kyouma err... no sorry, he is Okabe "Okarin" Rintaro. One day he's invited to a place to hear about time machine. Turns out, because of that, he found a body with a pool of blood. Then he sent a D-mail for the first time, then all of the lecture about time machine was never happened because of it. Thus then, he began his long 3 weeks in pain, exhausting but interesting.

Mayuri Shiina, who's the only girl in the club at first, and she happens to be Okabe's childhood friend, which Okabe cares for her so much. But later, he recruit more girls into the group. The only boys are Okabe himself, the otaku and hacker called Itaru "Daru" Hashida and Ruka "Rukako" Urushibara. What? You only see 2 boys? Oh yeah. Rukako... is a trap. Be careful... (?)

No one knows what the future holds. That's why its potential is infinite.
~Okabe "Okarin" Rintaro  

Welcome to Wagnaria! Wait. I forgot... this is my blog not Wagnaria. Hmm? What's Wagnaria? Huh? I'm doing a culinary? No-no... this is anime. Wagnaria is a family restaurant. The part-time workers are unique, weird and mostly young. Not forget to mention the manager itself is even stranger. And by collecting all of this odd people, their story begins... There's also background stories about them that would be told one by one each episodes. Interested? It's funny. I mean it! I could get my mood better watching this!

First! Let me introduce the characters! Start from the upper left! That's Satou Jun! He's the cool guy in the anime, he's very calm and composed, keep trying to hide his problems. Next, that's Kyoko Shirafuji, she's the manager. She used to be a gangster, and she often eat the restaurant's parfait despite thinking the ingredients might run out. Then, there's Mahiru Inami. Inami is an androphobia, because her father trained her to hate guys since she's kid, thus make her always punch boys physically every time she laid her eyes on one. Afterwards, there's Aoi Yamada. Yamada? That isn't really her name. Everything about her is a mystery. But she's a really spoiled, troublesome girl, but she tried her best. After that, there's Hiroomi Soma, a very secretive about his own identity, always eavesdrop to all people's secrets and tends to threatened them. Starting from below, on the left, there's Yachiyo Todoroki, she used to bring katana everywhere she goes. Scary right? She always make Kyoko parfait. Next is Takanashi Sota. Oh that girl next to him is also Takanashi Sota but in cosplay. He's the main character along with Taneshima Popura. But... Where's Taneshima? There's no Taneshima in the picture! Well, you'll she her soon anyway. Takanashi love cute and little things. Next is Ugh... they don't need explanation, find about it yourself. Why? Because it's funny about them.

And through the stories, there will be also... Takanashi's family. A 5th grader little sister, 1st sister who work as lawyer, 2nd sister who work hard for her novel, 3rd sister who always broke up and drunk with many guys and cries to Wagnaria often.

You don't waste your time following someone around unless you like him. Stalking is a sign of love.
~Aoi Yamada

Oreshura for short. Another harem Anime I happen to watch. I-It's not like, I like to watch harem or anything... And no, I'm not Tsundere, Remember I'm Kuudere and Dandere. What the hell, why am I babbling about myself in an Anime Review? Back to topic. So, here it is... Another love comedy, but more silly because of their chuunibyou. Don't know what chuunibyou is? Try watch Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! it's something called 8th grader syndrome. Well whaddya know? I also have it in 8th grader, and it seems I still have it now, even though I almost lost it. What am I doing... I completely telling about myself... okay, back to main discuss.
So, the main character Eita Kido.. or Ei-kun or Eita or Takkun... He's Chiwa Harusaki's childhood friend. They spend most of their days together, due to their parents somewhere far away. And that day, when Eita's class changed seat, he happens to sit beside Masuzu Natsukawa, who happens to be a popular girl and that popular girl asked him out to be her gilfriend! What happen? What do you think happen? And what will happen? Of course you should know, the title says it! Oh, I haven't translated the meaning? It means my childhood friend and my girlfriend fight too much. If you're otaku, you should've known the meaning, but oh well, nevermind.

So here it is! Yeah, I know it's very much harem. No need an otaku to tell that, everyone knows. There are also secondary characters. They are Himeka Kashino who happens to be.. well.. kinda complicated to explain, but she chuunibyou with Eita. Burning Pudding Princess and Burning Fighting Fighter. There's also Ai Fuyuumi, who happens to be Eita's friend in kindergarden, who met him first before Chiwa does. Oh wow, this seems to be more and more like battlefield! Remember not to have any harem unless you can take care of it, okay?

After living my whole life as a fake, I've lost the ability to trust people.
~Masuzu Natsukawa

15 chosen student are invited to enroll into Kibougamine Academy, as known as Hope's Academy.They all have their own 'Super Duper High School' titles. There are Super Duper Highschool Otaku, Prefect, Luckster, Idol, Super Model, Scion, Bookworm, Programmer, and etc. They are all trapped in the Kibougamine Academy once they entered the school. The principal 'Monokuma' or 'Monobear' told them in order to graduate, they need to kill someone without no one knows.

And after that they should investigate the culprit and accuse him/her in the class trial. If they got it wrong, the murderer will be free and all of them shall be punished. If they got it right, the murderer should be punished. Interesting don't you think? And there are more several rules to that school.


Those several rules are something like, they should not break the security cameras, they shouldn't act violent toward the principal, they only can sleep in dormitory and etc. Just by hearing the rules, does it make your heart beating? You really need to watch this. The characters have different personality and perspective, which you can learn about it from game in free time. You know, the game will really be hard if you haven't watch the anime. The manga's plot is telling the murderer point of view more, maybe it won't be interesting if we had known who's the culprit, right? So it's better to play the game first, then watch the anime, then read the manga if you still wondering the mysteries inside you still don't understand.

It's more fun to play the game, if you watch the anime, you would be quite confused or something like that, because the anime's kinda forced the plot really fast. If you watch the anime you will be done in 30 minutes. But if you play the game, you won't be finished in 30 minutes, not until around 2 hours or so. Amazing right? I even got cramps in both hands or feet, due to playing like really long. I can't beat that Super Duper High School Gamer in Dangan Ronpa 2. You still want to hear my jaw? I talked a lot when it comes to something good. I really liked this anime. Seriously all otakus shall watch and play this. Oh yeah and some of the secrets will later be revealed, such as their Super Duper High School title actually not that but... something else. Curious aren't ya?
The main character named Naegi Makoto. Whew, such long talk and I just introduce the main character to you now, when I usually did it in the beginning of the post. He's the average of the average or so he self-proclaimed. And he was invited because he's Super Duper Highschool Luckster. The rest are called, Maizono Sayaka, Naegi's junior high school's schoolmate, Kuwata Leon, Kirigiri Kyouko, Touko Fukawa, Yashiro Hagakure, Celestia Ludenberg, Sakura Oogami, Mondo Oowada, Togami Byakuya, Ishimaru Kiyotaka, Chihiro Fujisaki, Aoi Asahina, Ikusaba Mukuro and Junko Enoshima. 1, 2, 3... wait... 16 students? Did I count it right? Or... hmph. Find it out yourself.

A hint is one thing, but simply sharing the answer it leads to is dangerous.
~Kirigiri Kyouko

Tsumiki Miniwa, who have crush on Io Otonashi, have great days together in highschool, accompanied by their friends, Mayoi Katase, a scientist, Sakaki Inui, Io's bestfriend and Hime Haruno, clumsy and innocent, she's a bit a loner though, because Io usually partnered with Tsumiki and Mayoi partnered with Sakaki in some events (games, tricking Tsumiki and Io).


Tsumiki's height almost the same as Konata Izumi from Lucky Star, or maybe perfectly same. Sometimes Mayoi and Sakaki plans something bad then experiments it on Tsumiki and Io. When Tsumiki and Io have some, romance moments, Hime would always lets out many blood, I hope she's okay.

Well... so... they have some really great days hanging out around place to place together. It's like somekind of one-shot really, you don't need to watch from episode 1, it's quite random. The story don't have much progress, you could just start watching it from any episodes you want. It's quite good actually. But I don't know why only some people watch it. At least this isn't really that boring to me.

Your smile is worth more to me than any prize.
~Io Otonashi

The main character who is an Otaku, named Konata Izumi. To be honest, they don't really laughed me much, kinda hard to understand exactly what is it to be laugh about. Just enjoy their unique and extreme daily days. Everyday they end it with a karaoke. Konata's main friends are Tsukasa Hiiragi and Kagami Hiiragi, who happens to be a twin but slightly different appearance. And also Miyuki Takara.

The other friends appear a bit longer and their climax is when they dance together in their last festival. Konata seems to be more Otaku than Tomoko in Watamote. Though they almost look like having the same addict and hobby that's watching anime and reading manga in their room everyday. But they have differences. Konata still can be said a lot better in social than Tomoko.


And yeah, the twin, Kagami and Tsukasa appearance and personality, quite looked like Kyou Fujibayashi and Ryou Fujibayashi from Clannad. Oh yeah, Konata is as short as Tomoko and probably have the same height like Tsumiki Miniwa from Acchi Kocchi. Too much reference? Like it or not? Because in this anime have many reference mentioned just like in Hayate No Gotoku and Gintama anime. Whoops... another reference...

If I got on the team and started playing sports... I'd miss all my prime time anime shows.
~Konata Izumi

Tamako have a friend called Mochizo Oji. His name was given Mochizo due to his birth date is on Mochi's day, October 10. Mochizo live across Tamako, who happens to sell Mochi too like his family. Sometimes their family fight over mochi. Mochizo have a crush on Tamako, which Tamako didn't realize. Tamako also have a little sister, cute... looked like Azusa from K-ON!


Tamako's friends at school are Kanna Makino and Midori Tokiwa. They are often spotted hanging out around Tamako. Hmm... wait... I didn't put the bird, Dera's picture... Oh you can see him on top of Tamako's head anyway. What? Just the feet? What? You want to see him? Just watch the anime seriously. Want to see a lolicon? Shiori Asagiri. She will appear...

It's kind of scary, isn't it? When something suddenly changes.
~Shiori Asagiri

And what's more, in season 2, the girl will increase. Not forget to mention the protagonist older sister in the mix. Does it ever happen in your reality? It will bother you when it doesn't. True? At first I thought the harem shouldn't be really too much, but this actually really so much.

There are Laura Bodewig, IS from Germany, Cecilia Alcott from UK, Houki Shinono is the protagonist's childhood friend, Huang Lingyin from China (Rin is her nickname), Charles Dunois (Charlotte is her name later).

There's someone I'd like to protect. I'd like to fight for that someone with all I've got.
~Orimura Ichika

Touwa Erio. Yeah, that's the name of the cute girl in that picture above. She's someone who doesn't go to school, practically hide herself in her futon everyday. She had lost his memory, and she used to love outer space and believe in alien as a kid, thus when her memory lost, she thought she's alien and she believe that she could fly. At the same time, her cousin, Makoto Niwa, happened to sleep at her house, invited by her mother.
Makoto Niwa doesn't know much about her, he just know about it now. He's so confused about Erio, and also tried what she did before in the end, that's trying to fly by bike. But of course, anyone know it won't work. Niwa also have friends in his school, they're Ryuko Mifune and Maekawa. He also met someone strange named Yashiro Hoshimiya.


This anime is full with so many thoughts and descriptions, which is like the novel. It might be a bit bored. But don't worry, it's quite good, the... meaning... and uuh... well yeah...

People can live without friends. Friends are not oxygen or water, they're more like luxury goods. It's great if you have them, but you can survive without.
~Meme's granny

I don't quite understand why they take a photo with the enemies and the rivals. But oh well... This anime is... not really mystery. This is for detective fanatic and comedy addict. Milky Holmes, their group name, contains clumsy members, they are Sheryl Sherlock Shellingford, Hercule Elly Barton, Nero Yuzurizaki, and Cordelia Glauca. Their names are from the detectives in the past. And there's a team called Genius 4. They are Kokoro Akechi, Tsugiko Zenigata, Hirano Hasegawa, Saku Tooyama.

They have powers called Toys. They use it against their enemies. But the story plot tells that they lost the power, and have to retrieve their power back at any cost. Because they barely could do anything without their power. Because the enemies use Toys too.


This anime have a PSP game. Too bad it's in Japanese, I don't understand it. There are new characters there, a main protagonist boy and so on.

No matter how far you fall, you can still be the you that you strive to be. You can be the you that you want to be! Whether we're expelled or whatever, we can still be detectives. And if you ignore somebody you like when they're in trouble, that's bigger problem than being a detective! I don't want that. I don't want the people I love to be like that!
~Sherlock "Sheryl" Shellingford

I put her up there in a special place, in case everyone's forgotten about her. What was her name again? Unused character? Yeah, that's it. Anyway, this anime is hilarious, really. Bunch of silliness happen when there's an assassin named Sonya, a ninja named Agiri Goshiki, an unused character, and a normal girl named Oribe Yasuna, in one school. The school's gone crazy. Even their games are weird. And the ways they act are extreme.

Don't believe me? See that picture on the right? See how silly they were? Yeah that's about it. One thing goes wrong from the script and everything's ruined and in such odd way. I even once wonder if they're actually best friends... or best friends in disguise. Pfftt... well no matter what, they fit to be together.

Minna-san, please watch the anime, ne? Was what Agiri said with her body face upside down. Try to get used to it. Sonya appearance resemble to Sanzenin Nagi from Hayate The Combat Butler.

Sonya! You can't! You can't just kill someone! Some... something bad might happen to you! If that happens... I... I won't be able to play with you anymore! I can't tease you, I can't get hit by you, I can't make weird faces with you, or make pointless poses with you... I won't be able to do any of that anymore!
~Oribe Yasuna
