Anime full: Higurashi no Naku Koroni

Higurashi no Naku koroni was first game but then it developed to be anime and manga too. story takes place to a mountain village where happens weird murders and the culprit is always one of these friends for some reason. The whole story was solving who was murder this and that time and then finally was lead to wonder what really was behind these murders. Opposite to the fact that the village's god would be the culprit wasn't after all the one but an aliens...yea i didn't except that coming :'D The story was quite hard to follow but if you consentrate then you will be okay, and yes, don't mind the little mysterious scenes in the story they will be opened better in the next season...or atleast it's how i was told..well let's see :''D But oh, it still was really good anime!

The characters' emotions and all was made very well and they really looked crazy and horrible when loosed their control. Also way of murders and little scenes were linked to each others fun and interesting way. Even the smalest scenes like etc. one when Mio and Keiichi was talking out of his apartment at night, changed little bit in next murder scene. Using of characters in every musder was also good and they had differend postitions what was last time.

Art was quite light coloured and looked nice. The style how the charas were drawn was cute and brings to my mind "cute but horrible-style" which suited this story i think. though someone would think it looks too childish with baby-face kids and teens killing each others :'D the drawing style was cute but sometimes i thought it looked too simple like the ones drawing this anime were hurrying too much or something.

I will give extra plus for the mystic and trans-like music, opening and ending!
In the end i really liked this serie and i recomment it to others too if they like occult, horror, cute characters and black story telling with joy little bit here and there.

Manga: Kimi ni todoke volume 1

Manga called kimi ni todoke is very heartful and sweet story about shy and weird girl's life as outsider in her school but one day she will become friend with famous boy who becomes her friend and maybe more.
Karuho Shiina has made story where heroine isn't typical loud voiced and crazy like other mangas' charas are but scary looking and shy girl. The heroinen is very nice and sweet to watch but i didn't like so much the boy 'cause he didn't has got nothing new in the chara than others have already so that was pity but i hope it gets better in other volumes.
Art isn't bad and has sweet and light like feeling in it but sometimes gets too light and doesn't express the sad feelings so much. Also the art is quite familiar to the other type of basic manga styles in shojo which makes it look less original. I personally call this kind of drawing style as "sweet shojo style". I hope the story will get better in the next volume but i still liked to read it and it's good for reading it but i guess i still won't read it again twice.
people who likes sweet shojo stories and light-happy stories will like this but in other hand to others it could be too light and boring to stress with feelings and person's problems. This is story about friendship and sweet love.

Bakuman manga

Hello!

I just read Bakuman manga's first book. Well i have read it before but this time i saw it in bookstore and wanted to buy it and comment. Story is written by Tsugumi Ohba and art by Takeshi Obata so only this promises good story and art. Death note is maybe their most famous work and i think Bakuman isn't worse.
Story tells about two students who wants to be a mangaka and so basically story is about their life as creators. Yea i know that may sounds like pretty boring when you think about mangaka's life behind desk but actually it's not boring.
Story has many twists even in book one and i can tell you it gets even better when you read it more. Actually it also gives many things to interest like: know about how manga is made and published, drama and love. One thing that pops out from "ordinary" is how minimalist the story, art and ideas are. Art is very realistically drawn and from every backround to little pen are very well drawn as in real life. This minimalistic perfection doesn't end to art it also is in the story. Every idea and thing about manga is realistic and really excisting in real life too like the publisher Jump. Bakuman also refers to very much real life manga and criticises and comments about those and how manga is created from a start to finishing. This serie also gives useful information about creation like comment about how swords are very liked in these days in Jump.
For those who doesn't like so much discover world of manga they can consentrate to original type of love beatween characters.
If i need to say anything bad about this manga i would say Ohba and Obata's mangas has always very much text and dialogue so it's sometimes hard to read. Also for those who doesn't want to read story about creation this may be little boring and hard to understand eventhough the art makes it more faster and interesting that you could imagine when you read what the story is about.
I really recoment this serie cladly! :D
