This series and manga it was based upon was created by the disturbingly realistic and talented Tatsuhiko Takimoto . This story is based on the main character Sato who is a hikimori a person who is a young reclusive shut in and his friends which involve a otaku next neighbor college student named kauri and a mysterious young high school student named Masiki who tries to improve the main character get out of his self destructing lifestyle. The author himself uses themes dealing from attempts to cure himself to suicide drawing on his own shut in personality The series is a mixture between comedic moments and sick self realization that you don't want to be that main character but you share traits of him whether a lack of confidence or feelings of isolation this show deserves the highest awards possible for not creating such a good show but breaking the molds of contemporary views of society and otaku /Japanese lifestyle 5/5 golden magical girls

Code Geass
Set in the far flung future the country Britianna has conquered the world making japan and its people second class citizens .The main character Le louch has gained the power of Geass by making a contract with a mysterious girl to make anybody do anything once and the story takes place as he tries to take down the monarchs of britianna This series gained major suceess through showings on Adult Swim . This series has some ups and downs . there character designs done by Clamp is alright bordering somewhere really good and typical anorexic traditional style . The characters are well developed but have some draw backs such as lelouch himself is considered a asshole with intelligence using section 11 people(japanese) to for-fill his quest for his own needs looking through a story at a glance . Further develop goes on to say the idea of this character and his goal in the story is that he is asshole because to create a better world and peace between people you need a proper government and place all blame and hatred toward one character . From looking at the story this way I began to really enjoy the series . But as a real positive was the mecha designs of the series combining elements of realistic mech design mixed with some medieval theme gives a good escaflowne-esque to the show except some of the romantic elements .So I give this show a 3/5

Robogeisha
Ah the Japanese whether you love or hate them they do things to a excellent level. while the B Movie dies and comes back here the Japanese have created these low budget but over the top beauties . Created by Shock Japan. the story starts when Geishas get kidnapped by a steel manufacturer who train them become deadly assassins . The main character is yoshie a assistant to a geisha who treast her like shit because of not being worthy of becoming a geisha . They become kidnapped trained as assassin but soon yoshie becomes head assassin and remade into a robotic killing machine. But suddenly changes when issued a assignment to kill a couple she discovers its none other than the parents of a kidnapped geisha . She turns on the company and all sorts of wacky stuff happens . If you wondering why this reviewed is half assed its because its a b movie with no plot. But it does have brilliant special effects for such a low budget from a giant power rangers style robot buildings to geisha to robot wheels transformations. This movie gets a 4/5 reviews

Long waiting Dance of the Vampire Bund
This anime was released in January 2010 and was based on the manga of the same title by the mangaka Tamaki Nozomu . The story revolves around Mina Teppes which in originally watching this series I thought she was saying Tapas a Spanish light meal. Mina is the queen of the vampire world which in till recently has kept in secret from society . Now Mina has decided to announce to the world that their kind exisits to the human world and they are moving their kind to a island purchased from the japanese government by paying off the country's national debt . The story starts off to a good start with minor annoyances coming to mind like Mina's appears as a 10 year who I can not respect or empathies in the story . Then comes the male protagonist Akira who is the cliqued lost memories approach who finds out hes a werewolf . This had some good points using elements like terrorism and being a outcast trying to gain acceptance but loses all points when it promises stuff it cant keep . This was released along the times of the moe season of doom

Camarilla Ireland ( Immersive Roleplay Ireland ) A league of there own
Camarilla is a larping (live action role playing ) group that focuses on world of darkness franchise of rpg books by white wolf publishing . the group began in 1992 in Seattle and was officially made public at vikingcon, Now larpers and gamers maybe seen in a bad light with the terrible stereotype of either obese teens or skinny weaklings. Now yes some of this may be true along with the every stereotype but Camarilla Ireland is amazing group of people and group. At first I was afraid in joining because it was a select group of people that wouldn't let me join or allow me to join but alienate me because of a lack of knowledge in gaming (I still dont know the difference in warhammer to battlefield evolution) But I was wrong these people are friendly warm hearted people who share a keen interest in gaming and acting who either want to develop their abilities to socialize in a gaming setting or as a story teller once said work out parts of your darker personality traits through characters. Well in my case it was both as I have great social skills with guys but am a total recluse trying to talk to members of the opposite sex and working out my own griefs of own personality does relieve some stress and makes you feel more confident about yourself.
So would I recommend it to people of course I would Camarilla is full of fun and interesting people
I would on a personal note thank out all the Dublin and Maynooth storytellers they do some phenomenal work and help me develop my own characters

Sex Chocolate and Bondage and no hentai ( Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt)
Panty and Stocking was released in October 1 2010 centres around 2 angels Panty Anarchy and Stocking anarchy who were cast from heaven to a city known as Daten City (pun of Fallen angel) which lies on the border hell and heaven. Their job to protect the city from monsters from called ghosts. Well that's the story not much really there is 3 support characters chuck their dog used as a driver and release for any pain they can give him (he looks like Gir from invader Zim) Garterbelt a paedophile ex mafia priest being their mentor and a goofy supernatural fanatic called Brief. With a show made from a watered down animation of Dead leaves and jokes that seem similar family guy and south park with references from American animation such as Kablam with the explosion scenes of the monsters and famous films such Steel Magnolias Sex and the city and many others this show is strangely appealing to the eyes and entertaining . It has be one of those shows where you turn off your brain and enjoy so watch it all either you will love it or hate it
