Side Quest 003: {Aku no Hana 06} Gather Ideas and Inspiration from Anime - In Progress

So this Anime finally finished? No, apparently it was only Part One.
So this anime might continue one day, although I think a lot of people disliked it, mainly because of it's art style and slow paced story.

But I kinda liked this Anime in my own way, it made me think about myself, and what I would've done in those situations, and curiosity is what drove me to watch the next episode.

I think Aku no Hana was trying to show in realistic ways of a choice, the path which most won't take if they had to choose. Also I believe Aku no Hana was trying to portray a person's true colors even if that person is unaware of their own true colors. Or it could be the power of a person's actions can drastically change their and other people's lives.

I guess I give it a 7/10.

Side Quest 003: {Aku no Hana 05} Gather Ideas and Inspiration from Anime - In Progress

Truth. That is the keyword for episode 10 of Aku no Hana

I surprisingly enjoyed this episode, it showed a lot of emotion yet confusion on what goes on on his mind. But a truth has been told and we have some clarity to what goes into his mind and some clue to why he acts the way he does in the previous episodes.

Nothing really bad in this episode, nothing was dragged out like some other episodes.. It was actually really interesting progress.

Side Quest 002: {Shingeki no Kyojin Criticism /*No Spoilers*/} Recommend Anime to the Internets - In Progress

Shingeki no Kyojin Criticism /*No Spoilers*/


Don't get me wrong I LOVE THIS ANIME. 
But there is one thing that bugs me almost every single episode (so far), a lot of them drags on at different parts and progresses really slowly to the point where there is almost always a cliffhanger every episode.

Well I don't know if they're real cliffhangers or I'm just way too excited for the next episode, but a lot of the time, something important is about to happen and they end the episode.

Cliffhangers are good, but not nearly every episode, that just starts to piss people or maybe just me off.

BUT I still recommend this anime to everyone. It has a great story and great characters.
Although if you don't like cliffhangers each episode, you could just wait for the whole series to finish then watch it, but I can't since I'm not that patient. =/

P.S. MIKASAAAAAA!

Daily Quest: {Assignments & Future Company Name/Logo} Daily Happenings

I've been busy a lot these past months doing assignments and all, which is the reason why I haven't progressed too far on my game developing skills, I still am doing my assignments.

Although with one of my assignments I had to create my own game company website, so instead of creating it for just an assignment, I decided to make it my actual game company name.

It's called "BITSharp Studios". 
I did a quick Google search if it existed and it didn't! So don't go stealing my name other companies! 

Ignore the watermark. Can never be too careful these days.

Side Quest 003: {Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom} Gather Ideas and Inspiration from Anime - In Progress

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom

I just finished watching this anime, I just couldn't stop watching it, I even gave up sleep just to watch it (I like to watch anime late at night, especially if it's a dark theme).

But I should tell you what the anime is about. To be honest, it's quite difficult to explain without spoiling the anime, even the description, so I'll just explain from what you'll learn from the Anime.
This isn't some badass Anime where assassins just kill everything (this is a Seinen Anime not a typical shounen), it has deeper meaning, I guess it's rediscovery of oneself. Rediscovery? Yes, the main character loses his memories of the past and is turned to an assassin.


But in this Anime, the main character not only attempts to rediscover himself, but also we learn in a surprisingly realistic way of what the life of a assassin would look like. Not only that, but due to many various events, you could expect anything to happen.


This Anime made me feel a whole bunch of emotions, happy, sad, angry, confused. I guess this is why I like Seinen Anime, they have more mature stories which creates many emotions, and is not bounded by typical Anime norms.

Recommendation

This Anime reminded me a lot of Gungrave and Darker than Black, and are similar in many ways. Although it is unique to other Anime of this type.

Ideas and Inspiration

This is another Anime which I could reference to for a deeper meaningful story and of one way of how assassins come to be. I also haven't seen many games that showed how the learnt how to use a gun, and they're just simply born with it. Also since I'm planning on having masked people in a future game I'm planning it helps a lot more.

I give it a personal bias 10/10, the Anime itself I probably give it a 9/10 due to some unexplained stuff.
