Anime Blog 86: Level C

My Anime List.com Page

HERE'S THAT YAOI WARNING!

Level C is a 1 episode Yaoi OVA.

The story is simple: Salary-man Kazuomi shacks up with High School-age model Mizuki. There you go. Whole story in one simple sentence. The sad thing is there really isn't much more to say about this show...that really is all there was to it. On the fun side however, this show is unique in the fact that the penis' are invisible...yes. Invisible...hahahahahaha! This was my greatest source of enjoyment for this show...made me laugh so friggin hard!

So to quote myself once again from my anime list: YOU JUST MET THE GUY! WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HIM!? NOTHING! THAT'S WHAT! Otherwise…invisible penis…lol.

That's how I felt about the show right after watching it. So there really isn't more to say on that subject.

But, art!

Mizuki and Kazuomi

Time for pros and cons:

Pros:

• Yaoi, as always
• Does invisible penis go here???

Cons:

• SERIOUS lack of plot
• Sadly not memorable for anything other than the invisi-penis...

...that's about it for Level C. If you're a die-hard Yaoi fan, watch it. If not...just watch the clip with the invisi-penis; it's the only good part.

Thanks for reading! Until next time,

Anime Blog 85: Lesson XX

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesson_XX

Lesson XX is a 1 episode yaoi OVA (HERE'S THE WARNING!)

Lesson XX wasn't the most interesting of yaois to watch but it was ok from what I remember. Kind of like a typical 2 best friends falling in love story. The two characters, Shizuka and Sakura, are sorting out their feelings for one another...and that's basically the whole storyline.

I've mentioned my anime list before and just to throw out there, my comment on Lesson XX was " But for real...who has a communal sized shower in their house? Nobody, that's who..."
After reading the wiki page I discovered they were at a boarding school...which somehow I didn't pick up when I was watching the show...

So it's from 1995 so the art is...eh...

Shizuka and Sakura

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

• Yaoi
• Kind of cute

Cons:

• Pretty much no story

That's about it, well thanks for reading! Until next time,

Anime Blog 84: Legend of the Blue Wolves

Anime News Network

Alright, Legend of the Blue Wolves (AKA: Hot Space Cowboys) is a 1 episode Yaoi OVA (HERE'S YOUR YAOI WARNING!)

So...humans living in space, fighting aliens bit. Jonathan, a soldier, is passed around the base as a sextoy (from what I recall) and ends up sleeping with this really fat guy...ugh that was disturbing...
I can't remember exactly how he falls in love Leonard but he does and the two have a relationship which ends in them being sent to separate places due to the alien war. I'll just say now that the show doesn't end happily and makes me feel even worse for Jonathan than I already did...

Now this show is on the level of Sensitive Pornograph in that it is graphic and is not censored. Just wish that hadn't wasted that on the nasty dude...just saying.

This is another one of those shows that I watched just because I was on a kick in 2012 to watch every Yaoi anime out there (I've almost succeeded BTW). This isn't something I think I'll ever watch again...IMO.

So. Art:

Leonard and Jonathan

Now for pros and cons:

Pros:

•  Yaoi, as always
• ...Space Yaoi???

Cons:

• That nasty dude
• Crappy ending
• ...no seriously...I really dislike the ending

So, That's it for this one. Next up is a long string of Yaoi anime (because for some reason they all fall alphabetically...???) Thanks for reading! Until next time,

Anime Blog 83: Kono Danshi, Sekika ne Nayandemasu

AnimeNewsNetwork Page

Alright, Kono Danshi, Sekika ne Nayandemasu is a 1 episode yaoi OVA that I watched subbed.

Another show in the "Kono Danshi" series, this one follows high schooler Tamari who had to repeat the school year due to a weird illness he has that makes parts of him turn into crystal when he gets really emotional. This makes it hard for him to interact with his classmates. However, his homeroom teacher, Onihara, has a fascination with geology & loves crystals so Tamari talks with him about his illness.

It's a really cute story and I like the way it progresses. It's my second-fave in the "Kono Danshi" series (the first of course being the Boy who fell in love with the Merman) :)

Also, the VA who plays Onihara (Daisuke Hiragawa) is the VA who plays Rei in Free!, Rei in Love Stage!!, & Irie Naoki in Itazura na Kiss!

So, as usual, art! Which is still swirly & kinda pointy :)

Tamari & Onihara

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

• Cute Story
• Interesting idea
• Yaoi (as always)

Cons:

• I just wish there was more! :)
• And by Yaoi we all know I mean Shonen-ai...if 1 kiss counts :)

Thanks for reading, Until Next Time,

Anime Blog 82: Kono Danshi, Ningyo Hiroimashita

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=14190

Alright Kono Danshi, Ningyo Hiroimashita (This Boy Caught a Merman) is a 1 episode Yaoi OVA that I watched subbed (There's that warning).

The episode follows Shima who has lost his grandfather and lives alone accidentally drops the picture of his grandfather into the ocean. He jumps in to save it and almost drowns. He is saved by a merman that he later names Isaki. Shima pours his heart out to Isaki and Isaki promises to stay by his side so he moves in to Shima's house. (He has the cutest little pools!). Their relationship develops from there :D

It was super cute! And it made so much more sense than Kono Danshi Uchuujin to Tatakaemasu...so much more sense...

The art style is similar:

Isaki and Shima

So. Pros and Cons:

Pros:

• Yaoi...(well at least according to the manga...this was more shonen-ai)
• Merpeeps!
• Cute story
• Cute art

Cons:

• Why there no more!?

So that's it for now! Thanks for reading! Until next time,

Anime Blog 81: Kono Danshi Uchuujin to Tatakaemasu

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=13312

Kono Danshi Uchuujin to Tatakaemasu (AKA: This Boy Can Fight the Aliens) is a 1 episode "yaoi" OAV (There's the warning...even though it doesn't really need it)

So forgive me if I'm a little rusty, I watched this OAV in 2012. But I do recall that the world is under attack by aliens and this guy (named Arikawa) finds a dude on a hill whose name is Kakashi (I remember that due to Kakashi-sensei from Naruto!) and apparently Kakashi can defeat the aliens...but he has amnesia and can't recall how to use his power.

There was only 1 episode and it didn't do a very good job explaining the story (from what I remember) but my favorite part of the show/the best part IMO (*SPOILER*) was at the very end when Kakashi's phone finally comes back on and he finds out the reason he hasn't been getting messages, and thus the reason he thinks no one misses him, is because he forgot to pay the phone bill! (*END SPOILER*)

So, it was kinda cute, def. not Yaoi but cute. The art was interesting. Not bad. Just interesting.

Arikawa and Kakashi

So Pros and Cons:

Pros:

• Funny phone thing
• Interesting art designs

Cons:

• Confusing as all get out

Nah. That's about it. Thanks for reading! Until next time,

Anime Blog 80: K-ON!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-On!

K-ON! is a 2 season 36 episode Seinen series with 2 special episodes, 2 OVAs, a movie, and 2 series of shorts. (it's longer than I recall it being...it was just so good it didn't seem that long I guess!)

So. A group of girls: Yui, Mio, Ritsu, and Mugi, re-start a music club at their high school (there used to be one in the past but it hadn't had members so it basically didn't exist anymore). They name their band, Afternoon Tea Time. Yui is on guitar, Mio is on bass, Ritsu is on drums, and Mugi is on the keyboard. Their advisor Sawa-chan-sensei was a member of the music club when she was at the school...of course then it was a lot different...(if you've seen it, you know what I mean...)

The next year, the girls have to get at least 1 new member to stay a club. Azusa joins :D (or Azu-nyan according to Yui) and she plays guitar as well. The show is just so doggone cute and the music is adorable! It's a good, graduating and passing on the club, story :D

So, ART!

L-R: Mugi, Azusa, Mio, Yui, and Ritsu

K-ON! also has one of my favorite openings!

Pros and Cons!

Pros:

• Cute cast
• Cute music
• Slice-of-Life
• Sawa-chan-sensei
• Cute story
• JUST PLAIN FRIGGIN CUTE!

Cons:

• ...cons...cons...nope, not ringing a bell ^_^

So there you have it! Thanks for reading! Until next time,
