Noragami Plot: A Stray God—unemployed, unfamous—is trying to make a living by offer help to humans via flyers contains of his cell phone number. (Yeah, you read it right, unemployed, flyers, phone number, he is indeed a God). He is named Yato, accidentally met Hiyori Iki, a student, on the street. Without any knowledge if Yato wouldn't be harmed by a car accident, Hiyori tried to save him and ended up being the one got hit by the car. Since the accident, Hiyori turns into a half-phantom, between realm of human and phantom world, the series brings us pleasure superbly. (Genres: fantasy, comedy, action, adventure, shounen, supernatural) Looking back at Winter 2014 season, I aghast Noragami stands on that season. Surprised and I smiled in a blink of an eye by the fact that this show is really great after comparing it to many other series on 2014. The show is indeed sweet and enchanting, the aspect that I like the most are the characters and personalities. They are so lovable and developed nicely one by one. As the story goes, the truth and identity are revealed, uncovered and solved each problems. So well-organized plot and nice mixing here, fantasy, action, adventure, supernatural. Yeah it smells shounen with shoujo topping on it. Altho' the nuance of romance just like seasonings, but it's added perfectly. Not to mention it's also humourous show too! The OP theme, "Goya no Machiawase (午夜の待ち合わせ)" by Hello Sleepwalkers, is damn banging whilst the ED theme, "Heart Realize (ハートリアライズ)" by Tia (supercell) has beauteous melody, 4. Madan no Ou to Van adis Plot: (For more information of the series, visit >> (`・ڡ・´ ) ) [魔弾の王と戦姫 (ヴァナディース) / Lord Marksman and Vanadis] It's all about war, get ready to race your heart with the beat of hooves, also the teasing of war maidens there. Seizure of power, cooperation among kingdoms, the battle to protect citizens, pride, the intention to win the war—the story tells about an archer man, succeeded of a kingdom who wants to protect his citizens from the attack of other kingdoms, caught up in circumstances when he finally agreed with the terms of another kingdom to be an ally. The heroic battles long journey of this archer begins, with various meetings and battles involving war maidens. (Genres: fantasy, adventure, ecchi, romance, harem) For Vanadis series, I will just state few sentences of opinion here. I gave review for the series already exhaustively. The plot is not something new when it is involved war of kingdoms. But the story goes really well with help of its nice action scenes, graphic and artwork which make the show full of passion in war. The interaction among characters too, is really promising. This one also has nice theme song, especially the OP theme so describing IT IS WAR THEME, IT IS DARK, IT IS POWERFUL!—"Ginsen no Kaze (銀閃の風)" by Konomi Suzuki. I suggest you to listen to it immediately. | |
Plot: (For more information of the series, visit >> ( ु•⌄• ) ) [サイコパス] Akane Tsunemori, the inspector and the main heroine, faces a citizen with abnormal Psycho Pass who won't be clouded altho' he is doing something bad like killing people, watching people killed, threatening by others etc. This man asks the question about Sybil System has been enacted during the time. Filled with lots of gaps, thoughts, dilemmas and shocking truths behind the Sybil System, This system is no doubt a sinister for society where it takes place. (Genres: action, sci-fi, dystopia, philosophical)
It's a well-known anime, isn't it? Not only the 2nd season is famous around anime lovers, nay the 1st season too. Served in 11 episodes, the 2nd season is worth-noting as one of the best series on 2014. The dark future when Sybil System rules the society and judges people becomes the focus of story again, it is really a matter, then someone shows the world an action to devastate this system. The unforgettable things about this series are theme songs and the creepy feeling—pitch black aura—and the curiosity at the end of every episode. You can guess all the way you want but the meaning of this show is deeper than common show, so philosophical (that's why I'm attached to this one). Either, ED and OP are masterpiece! Psycho-Pass SII ED - Fallen by EGOIST & Psycho-Pass SII OP - Enigmatic Feeling by Ling tosite sigure.
2. Akame ga Kill!
Plot: (For more information of the series, visit >> | ゚皿゚| ) Blood, rage, hatred, guile, battle, sword skills, fighter, and other aspects of shounen-like are presented here, Akame ga Kill! series! The series is so damn good, not only the battles but also the feelings. Please mind it, that my review based purely on its animated version, not the manga version. The group who opposes the tricky empire imperils its townspeople, the group begins to attack the empire politicians, soldiers, and even the prime minister. Furthermore, the battles are coloured by Imperial Arms—items or weapons got insertion of Danger Beasts supernatural power from ancient times—power which makes the show more intriguing. (Genres: action, adventure, fantasy, action, shounen)
Akame ga Kill! series is so yummy (despite those so many sad incidents) I couldn't stop from wanting more to watch it after an episode ended, have to wait for another week was the worst. At first maybe we are feeling so odd here, it's like we give vote for the rebel group towards the empire. Their first appearance too, seems so fuscous. And the story gives us notion that the empire is the only reason its townspeople welfare buried. The entire show is freaking sullen, we couldn't grow any happiness under the pressure of the fact that empire is not willing to change its way to treat people and targeting us—the rebel group as the heros named "Night Raid". The characters, feelings, plot, improvement of its plot are connected to each other ( ≧Д≦) Once again, I will mention the theme songs here hold its value too. Blessed with 24 episodes, we have two songs for OP ("Skyreach" by Sora Amamiya, "LIAR MASK" by Rika Mayama) and two songs for ED ("Konna Sekai, Shiritakunakatta. (こんな世界、知りたくなかった。)" by Miku Sawai, "Tsuki Akari (月灯り)" by Sora Amamiya). I recommend all of them, by the way my favorite, the best from these four is, Tsuki Akari (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑
1. Donten ni Warau
Plot: (For more information of the series, visit >> (∘❛ั⌔❛ั∘) ) It's story full of many genres, you may fall in love with it, once you fall you will hardly to escape from its masterpiece story. Takes place in the Meiji Era, the whole townsfolk is under the threat of destruction of Orochi—giant snake, a creature who will bring back its life after 300 hundred years. So far, there is no method to stop its resurrection. What the hero, and other characters do to bring peace eternally for their town instead of giving up to the resurrection of Orochi which is going to happen in no time?
Comes the crowned series, snatch the 1st position, at the top among all of the series on 2014. Donten ni Warau! [曇天に笑う / Laughing Under The Clouds] -yelling- After went through few elimination phases, I decided to make Donten ni Warau as the bestest among the best. The reason behind this resolution is its magnificent story. All of the elements in the series, it's perfect. Supranatural & fantasy thingy, despite of old time setting, it isn't affect the series badly, contrarily it gives positive vibes, unique on its own way. The blend of threats, conflicts of each charas, conflicts among groups, sadness, patience, perseverance, trust, betrayal, the significance, and the joy, their laughters is a first-chop. So bittersweet, you can find the romance and comedy scenes in a perfect dose. So splendid their struggle to overcome every hidden paths in the future, together.
