Tiger and Bunny

Based in a futuristic world heroes are given commercial value and a points scheme to make them kind of idols. People with superpowers are known as NEXT's if they choose to be a hero they'll feature on HERO TV and be in with a chance to be crowned King of Heroes but they could choose to use they're powers for evil in which case it's the heroes job to arrest him. The show focuses on the first of it's kind 'hero team' Tiger and Bunny. The team consists of old-timer 'Wild Tiger' and rookie hero Barnaby (nicknamed Bunny). But 'Wild Tiger' - or Kotetsu - is stuck in his old-fashioned ways and can't accept Barnaby's new ideals making it difficult for the two to get a long. Meanwhile Barnaby has finally found a lead on the crime syndicate Ouroboros who killed his parents in front of him when he was just a child. Wild Tiger and Barnaby have to team up successfully if they want to uncover the mysterious Ouroboros and stop the villainous NEXT Lunatic who is blowing every thing up.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf

The UK release was last week and I really wanted to review it then but I was so busy! So apologies about that. Alas, I still have to review this game just so if any one wanted to come visit the town of Ooo and meet Alex they have my friend code: 4983-5552-0467. Be sure to add me and leave your friend code in the comments below!!
Now onto the review.

I've been anticipating New Leaf ever since I got my 3DS and it had to deliver something good because I've played every version of Animal Crossing since the Gamecube game in 2004! However, I have felt like each rendition has been less exciting than it's predecessor. The wii game 'Let's go to the City' was put away quite quickly and the DS 'wild world' was good but it never reached the obsessive excitement of the Gamecube game. Maybe after playing 3 versions of the same game there was nothing more for the series to offer me. Or maybe I've just grown out of quaint games like Animal Crossing... That was a thought too sad to bear!

Karneval

From the same company who bought us Deadman Wonderland comes a totally different style of anime! Gareki lives a solitary life of stealing and travelling but that soon changes when he meets Nai, the young and eccentric boy who is searching for Karoku. Originally taking Nai along with him to earn some more money Gareki is quickly charmed by Nai's innocence and positive outlook on life and ends up caught up in Nai's search for Karoku. However, the two attract some less than welcome attention and end up under the protection of Circus, the nations ultimate defense. Circus only accepts the most capable fighters and after performing raids, capturing criminals and solving crimes for the government they will put on performances for the public as an apology for scaring them. Although seemingly sweet and harmless, Karneval is so much more than a silly children's anime!

A Werewolf Boy

Highly acclaimed Korean movie, "A Werewolf Boy", directed by Jo Sung-hee for his commercial debut. It quickly reached 4.12 million admissions making it the most successful Korean melodrama of all time! But is it really worth all the hype?
As an elderly woman Kim Suni receives a phone call about the sale of her old family home out in the country side and decides to pay the place a visit with her grand daughter Eun Joo. From there she reminisces back to when she was a teenager and her and her mother escaped to the country side. Kim Suni was suffering from a lung problem and it was believed that the country air would do her some good. Not long after arriving Suni finds a feral boy who can't read, write or fully understand what people are saying. Despite his unruly nature Suni's mother is kind enough to adopt him and name him Chul-Soo; for she, like all the other villagers, believe he was one of the many children which were orphaned in the Korean War. Unsatisfied by the way that Chul-Soo behaves, Suni starts to 'tame' him using a dog training book. Every time he acts accordingly Suni will pat his head and from these acts of kindness a bond is formed between the introverted girl and the lonely boy.

Miyakawa-ke no Kuufuku

In 2005 the manga world was shaken by Yoshimizu's 4-Panel manga. When two years later said manga was bought to television it quickly became an international hit! That's right, I'm talking about Kyoto Animation's brilliantly funny: 'Lucky Star'. Ever since it found it's way to England the lovable characters and relaxed pace have made a name for themselves at conventions. So when I was informed that a Lucky Star spin-off manga is being adapted into an anime I had high-expectations; I can't say I'm happy with it though.
