Negima!?


A good anime, that has the potential to get you addicted to it. This anime is a typical magic anime, displaying comedy, childishness and a decent plot. Negima is great to watch for anyone below the age of 18 and a few above. What I like is that this anime actually steps out of the Japanese world in some places and is out the box in different ways.

The main character of the story is Negi Magi, the son of the legendary  'Thousand Master', who was one of the greatest magicians, but mysteriously vanished leaving negi and his sister behind. Negi aspires to become just like him and at the age of 11 becomes a great magic user. He is then asked to teach in a girls academy, where he makes many friends- one of them an old enemy of his father who tries to kill him, though. he has to choose apprentices to boost his magic, by the process of kissing a person. in the course of the anime, most of negi's students gain magical powers through this process. there are many great plots that follow- you should watch the anime to find out......


here are the drawbacks, the anime can get too kiddish at times, Useless things can be concentrated on in some of the episodes and it need a better english dub.

i give Negima!? a 7/10.

Letter Bee


From the creators of Bleach and Naruto, I did not expect anything but awesomeness from this anime. I was quite impressed, mostly because under all the innocence and slight childishness there is an amazing story that is full of mystery and suspense. This anime puts me at peace and allows me to completely relax and let all my problems go. The explanations are clear, characters are great, plot is good and music is more than nice- basically a great anime.

the story revolves around a boy named 'Lag' who lives in a world where it is very difficult to travel to different places and people can only communicate from town to town through letters that are mostly delivered by specially trained people called letter bee's ( and yes phones have not been invented). These people are trained to tackle difficulties along the way like defeating monsters who dwell outside populated areas called 'Gaichus' using a type of weapon called 'shindan' and 'spirit amber'. Lag has been seperated from his mother as a child and is treated like a letter, to be sent to his aunts house. the Bee who is to deliver him is 'Gauche' (Gaw-shoe)
who is working realy hard to become the head bee and help his crippled sister. As Lag grows up he aspired to be just like Gauche and becomes a letter bee but soon realizes that gauche has dissapeared since the last four years. Lag need to find him. so the anime tells us about the government conspiracies, Lags new friends, Lags dingo (partner in delivering letters), what happens to Gauche and how does it all end....


All anime have drawbacks. here they are, Lag cries just too much- i get its his character, but it gets annoying, sometimes there is too much concentration on useless events not related to the story.
On the whole i still admire and enjoy the anime i give it a 9/10

Bleach Movie 4: Hell Chapter


The long awaited fourth bleach movie finally surfaces on the internet. I have loved all bleach movies and this one too. The animators have gone slightly out of the box and havent stuck to the usual forms Ichigo has, basically I mean they have not restricted him to his hollow or bankai form. the movie is definitely exciting and not at all  dull. They have done a great job designing hell, it still amazes me. this story will grip you and make you want to find out what happens next.

The story is about these sinners from hell who want to escape- obviously, but they cannot as here are chains binding them to hell that are virtually impossible to break unless extreme power is used, which they do not have. But they believe that Ichigo's full hollow form can break these chains with its cero.Also they need to destroy hell's gate that has trapped them. So they kidnap Ichigo's sister and force him to comply with their demands. There is a mysterious character who comes in here and offers to help ichigo, who is also a sinner from hell but wants redemption. He claims to see a similarity between himself and ichigo as he to looses his sister. But this person was put in hell for a reason- could he be trusted or is he really a good person, watch and find out. So Ichigo, along with Uryu, Rukia, Renji and the sinner plunge into hell recklessly and the story goes on. this leaves the questions, will ichigo save his sister before its too late? does he loose any of his friends? are the sinners freed? who really is the mysterious sinner who is trying to help them? you know what to do for these answers!


Now for the drawbacks, I was fairly dissapointed due to the lack of captain action and involvement. Also the story can have a few small, glitches here and there or unexplained scenes.

overall, I was quite impressed as i always am when it comes to Bleach. I give it a 8/10.
