    Hi! I'm Trixia and welcome to my slice of life. I'm not your average blogger, I'm a hybrid of multi-dimensional shoujo, a rare breed of legal loli and a unique original producer of ideas and inspiration. My path goes on the other side of the road which is less traveled, where thrill and excitement rests. This blog holds my inner thoughts, experiences, opinions and out-of-the-ordinary theories which I keep as a journal of my life's highlights.

    I could not contain my excitements, as more and more anime has released this July, no doubt that this month has the most number of releases, I'm overjoyed. Since my last stream on June, I have featured those that are to be released on July and I found my self looking forward to them.




    Some that caught my attention are High Score girl and Asobi Asobase which certainly are most unique among the bunch of anime releases. Such uniqueness included when I saw each characters facial expressions and raindrops of humors in each episode.




    When you are the type of person who appreciate high level of details and anime-ish characteristics, you may just past by these anime upon your "next anime to watch hunt" but I'm telling you, it's just a few episodes released on streaming sites yet has already made me want to watch more.



    High score girl anime became the reflection of my childhood days where the dawn of PC gaming and slow decline of arcade games were happening. We certainly got the best of both worlds and the excitement of new technology to come plus nostalgia of arcade gaming hits the spot. It was a balanced fun childhood we had before and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. On these times, concept artists pushed through the limits of an unlimited open ideas and brought them to life, despite the young technology, you can already see the plans or the vision of the creators.



    I certainly thought that the story would revolve around the two protagonists but they had brought it to a much wider perspective of remembering to look back from the past. The anime has a deep meaning that only most people on that time could remember. Whats great is that as the story progresses, it becomes interesting.



    I sometimes see 6hp Black Princess and Oono Akira on the same art style, I haven't researched who made it yet but it's like her, with more episodes about her life. 
    Asobi Asobase in the other hand caught my attention by the small clips on my facebook timeline, they are short but they made me chuckle, both anime's unique facial expression added to the humor and uniqueness to the Anime. It felt vain for one classmate to exhibit such revenge to the other annoying characters but I thought that they deserved it though~ haha. Anyway, their friendship became in good terms nonetheless, which is great because they have this chemistry of laughter that I'd like to look forward to.


    With the other releases, there are more anime's that I found really interesting to spotlight on but I'll be leaving this here for now and will feature the others soon. :)
    Next time then...

    Spoiler alert!

    I have to be honest with you, I am not a Castlevania fan. When Castlevania was released, I was engrossed in Mario Bros and Duck Hunt games, it was only recently that Castlevania had taken my attention.

    Castlevania started out as a game, nowadays, they have produced a movie series about Count Vlad Dracula Tepes and as we all know Dracula is a vampire. Dracula from Castlevania is no difference with the usual Dracula that we often see in movies, he drinks blood and carries immense power. He is considered "The Prince of Darkness and Lord of Shadows" from the title itself he is considered as an ultimate Lord of all Vampires.

    The movie started out a scene from Wallace, 1455, the film is animated. A blonde woman had set out to a castle carrying a dagger. She had introduced herself as Lisa wanting to become a doctor and looking for knowledge from Count Dracula. Dracula had introduced himself and asked for what Lisa has to offer. Lisa, in return, had offered to teach Dracula manners. Dracula took an interest in Lisa's determination and suggestion to travel around the world.

    The story progresses that Count Dracula and Lisa had lived together inside the castle. When Lisa went back to her hometown to help sick people, her success from her acquired knowledge about medical science and her interventions were proven effective. Catholic Church became wary of Lisa's development, thinking that this might be a threat to the beliefs of the people to the Church. They had Lisa accused as a witch and burned at Stake.

    When Dracula found out what happened to Lisa, he was devastated and gave the townspeople a year to make amends.

    and the story goes on...

    The townspeople failed to make amends and Dracula had released an army of demons...


    Why, oh Why?

    The series started as a sweet encounter to a bitter ending of Lisa from the hands of the Catholic Church. I can't help to think why she was not saved, knowing that Dracula carries immense power to stop the Catholic Church from killing Lisa.

    That's where I got hooked up with the story...

    A typical human attitude at that time, the people had looked for a way to eliminate Dracula by summoning a blood line of Belmont. Belmont's had a reputation of killing Dracula every 100 years, dedicating themselves to killing him each time he arises from his resurrection, but to their demise a young Belmont had presented himself only to their disappointment,  Belmont had an image of a drunkard to townspeople and tried to challenge him during one of his visit to a nearby inn.

    A Simple sorry is all it takes...

    Dracula only had one request to the townspeople that they make amends with him by presenting the person who was responsible for killing Lisa, it sounds easy but during that era, it is evident that the Church holds the highest status in a country equal to that of the King. People did not have the power nor knowledge for justice during those times, it is understandable that they may failed to present the person responsible for the killing.

    It is a tradition to send out Belmont's blood line to do the killing, but seriously? Why do they let the Belmont's go by themselves? By how people spoke towards Belmont's they sound all high and mighty but they ran like rats when they face with a strong opponent. A mere encouragement would have done but mockery made my blood boil and felt hatred with humans too.

    Review to be continued on next blog post...

    What do you think about the first series? Do you agree with me?

    Spoiler alert!






    Genre: HorrorAired: February 15, 2012
    Japanese:ʋ⨋Ĥ
    Produced by: UFOTABLE
    Synopsis:Source on this link
    Something in Okinawa reeks, and it isn't long before Kaori and her friends realize that the smell is coming from dead fish, which are walking out of the sea. The fish are fused to metal legs and are infected with a disease contractible by humans that were invented as a weapon by unknown sources. After what happens to Tadashi, Kaori finds herself in a new world very much like the old one but with the stench of death.



    Personal review:
    You might be a fan of Yamishibai, Kagewani or Spirited Away and for animated movie and series with these genres, we cannot get enough of the thrill, color, and excitement of these amazing works of art. I will introduce to you another anime if you haven't watched it before, similar to those listed above favorites. 

    I discovered this anime thru one of a sneak preview in a facebook post which piqued my curiosity, it delivered an interesting story and combined with perfect animation, I immediately had to search the name of this anime and found out the name is Gyo: Tokyo Fish Attack.

    I couldn't get enough of it thinking that this scene was an anime after the SEA KING from ONE PUNCH MAN had died and that the whole fish kingdom was attacking the whole city. Of course, that really was not the case. 

    Towards the end of the show, it has given some theories about the disease but is yet certain what the real cause is, this mystery combined with its uniqueness -from then on, I considered it on my top shelf of most favorite anime to watch.

    The anime is EXCEPTIONAL! The concept is unique! I have watched almost all anime Horror genres and I have never seen a story like this ever in my life. 


    This is unlike any other horror anime ever watched.

    This anime has a manga version but I would advise you to watch the anime instead cause there is a big difference in the manga that you might not be happy about.

    It gave me chills realizing the fact that the sea is a wide undiscovered area in the world that is almost impossible to discern. Imagine how much population of the creatures are out there! It's endless!



    The story of the main character named Kaori and the journalist Tsuyoshi Shirakawa adds fascinating curiosity if they might end up together after Kaori's fiancee turned into the unusual creature. 

    It is appealing how Tsuyoshi Shirakawa had changed his initial motive from Kaori as they get closer to each other. 

    Moreover, the extra scenes of Kaori's friends Aki and Erika had me curious as to how they all got together as they all have different personalities, it is then I assumed that since Kaori mentioned that they are in college vacation that I got the idea that they met at their school.

    Despite the differences, It is obvious enough that Kaori was the one bring the group together and it was an awkward horrid situation when she left them in the cabin.

    It is even imaginable how Kaori had described the "Stench of death" smelled like with the combined 2D-3D artwork apocalyptic scenes build out a single image of a decaying fish or body would be in this situation. 

    While everybody is almost at the brink of their madness, Tadashi's uncle, a famous inventor, appears to be a typical mad scientist, until a video where Kaori discovered what happened to Tadashi shocked her and made her decide to search for his fiancee only to find out that he had become a living guinea pig. 

    The heart thumping horror not only gave me chills but also touched my heart when Kaori discovers that his fiancee is conscious even with the current mysterious monster form. 

    Boy did it broke my heart that she lost his fiancee then followed by Tsuyoshi which had been infected while he was trying to calm Kaori from her suicide attempts to rescue her fiancee. 

    The story has left a lot of questions on my mind and a potential growth is present, I would definitely love to know what happened next.

    WARNING: SPOILER ALERT! 

    WATCH THE ANIME FIRST, IT'S A GOOD ANIME TO WATCH before reading MY REVIEW


    This Game was recommended to me by one of my friends upon learning that I am a lover of Horror and Suspense movies especially Zombie type. He told me that I would love this Anime, I thought it was a game and told him I don't have a PSP etc. but he said there was an anime Series, so when I was able to find it I was very happy.

    My Synopsis from the story
          
    It started when a group of highschool students performed a friendship bond, and to fulfill that they must recite a certain ritual to make their friendship last forever, after the ritual was done, an earthquake stroke the building, and they found themselves in an old school and separated from each other, and as they try to find their way home, they discover that they are not alone, will the students ever find their way home or is it the end?

    My Review
     I liked the Storyline, and it caught my attention until the end, but I was really shocked as to what happened to the children, seriously I thought it would be a great happy ending, but I didn't expect for them to end in such a tragic way. The first episodes were very thrilling and will really make you ask questions as to what happened, and knowing such history of the story gives you an impression that it was the former killer doing the killing.The twist of the story is great! Especially knowing the truth of what was causing all of the killings. How each story was connected are awesome, the children are in the building, same spot, only different dimensions. The characters and the drawings are 100% well portrayed and laid out, each with different personality that suits each of the faces. Creativity is evident. No doubt the voice overs gave life to the characters! The part where they show the insides of the murdered corpses are creepy but bearable to look at, thank God it was drawing because its really hard to watch if it'd be life-like. I may be the person that loves happy ever afters but I also love the fact that it has a different ending, gruesome indeed,  but reality-wise, it would be hard to survive such place, ending is very unexpected, surely a thumbs up! When I finished the series, my eyes were big awake round as the moon, all my erector pili reflex are activated, I do not know how I actually felt, combination of screaming, crying and shocked! Never did I imagined it would be a murder series, cause I thought I was having a horror movie hahaha! but anyway I loved that kind of feeling when something unexpected thrills me to the bone!

    HALLOWEEN is on the air and what better way to celebrate it is to watch scary movies and hair raising tales.
    Here I recommend all to otaku or non-otakus to watch the series of YAMISHIBAI.
    YAMISHIBAI is a 5 minutes series tale of the people with their hair raising experiences in japanese culture myths and urban legends.

    So some of you out there on the go and need this mind boggling horror, this is a recommendation, each episode is short and won't take much of your time.
    The episodes are english translated and the dubbing is quite good.
