Gachi Baka! [2006]

Synopsis :

Former pro boxer Gondo Tetta has come to Kaki-no-ki-zaka High School as a beginning teacher. The school hopes to restore finances by improving the students' abilities and strengthening its baseball team. Tetta goes head-to-head with his class full of failing students who have no ability whatsoever in sports and studies. Everyday, he passionately encourages his students who have no drive at all. School is not just a place to study. It's a place to learn how to live! If it means helping out his students, Tetta won't hesitate to snap at the parents and school. Gondo Tetta's slightly dangerous class is about to begin. --TBS

Synopsis source: d-addicts

This drama have the same concept like GTO, Gokusen and etc. Well it show more dark problem that happen to teenagers. At first the storyline kinda boring and everything is all the same with other drama that I have watched. Nevertheless as the story continue the story started to be more interesting.

Overall, this drama is not that great and not bad either. Just ok and great to pass time. One thing that interest me is  Tegoshi Yuya. Yay xD. With that I rate this drama is 3 out of 5.. :D

Merlin Season 3

Synopsis :

Merlin is the first to discover Morgana's changed loyalties but he must tread carefully as Uther's affection for his "ward" has increased with her one-year absence. Arthur is likewise blind to Morgana's treachery, forcing Merlin and Gaius to be even more wary of detection as they thwart her schemes.

Synopsis source : wiki

This season is the beginning of Morgana that become evil. It sad that she actually hate everyone in Camelot. :(

Plot wise? This season have an interesting storyline. More twist have been revealed here. Morgana have been evil.

Overall, this season have a really funny episode and really scary/pity Morgana episode. I enjoy myself and with that I rate this season 4 out of 5!! :D

Taken 2 [2012]

Synopsis :

In Istanbul, retired CIA operative Bryan Mills and his wife are taken hostage by the father of a kidnapper Mills killed while rescuing his daughter.

Synopsis source : iMDb

The second one of Taken. Many bad review on this one. For me this sequels have more dialog and more drama. The first one still the best but the second one is not bad. I can see that his daughters have her father's gene. There are of course have a lot of plot hole but I really enjoy watching this movie.

Overall, compare to the first movie, the 2nd one have less action and too many dialog. However the pace still fast and make me want to know what happen next. With that I rate this movie 3 and half out of 5.. :D

Marathon Taken today because I'm going to watch Taken 3 on cinema hahaha...

This movie have a simple and yet entertaining storyline. There are no plot twist but it packed with action. It show more straight and efficient way to find people. What I do like about this movie is there are no cheesy line and unnecessary talking just straight to the point. Each scene make me excited to know what else gonna happen.

I love it and with that I rate 4 and half out of 5.. :D

Sailormoon SailorStars

In Sailor Stars, it have two part. The first one will lead to the second part.

Synopsis for 1st part:

Neherenia returns to seek revenge on Usagi and the Sailor Senshi for thwarting her plans in SuperS. Breaking her soul mirror, the pieces fall to Earth and enter people's eyes, brainwashing them.

Synopsis for 2nd part:

Introduces new enemy Galaxia and the Animamates who are after the star seeds of the Sailor Senshi. 

Synopsis source : wiki

The first part focus more on Neherenia. I think this part is there to make an upgrade to Sailor Moon. All the other Sailor Senshi is suppose to have an upgrade power but I think it the same.

The second part is more about Galaxia. This part have too much Usagi and the Starlights. There are no Mamoru in this part and it is actually kinda boring LOL. Pity that other Sailor Senshi, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Mars all treated as a side characters. They are just there in the scene but doing nothing. All the fights goes to the Starlights. Even Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Saturn are there just to warning Usagi not get too close to the Starlights.

In the final battle I'm expecting Kakyu will transform to battle uniform and seeing Sailor Cosmos (in manga), but there are none. I'm actually disappointed.

Overall, this season kinda sad. At least it have a decent ending and unveils why the Sailor Senshi exists. This is interesting but sad season and I rate this season 3 and half out of 5.. :D

One Litre of Tears SP [2007]

Synopsis :

This special is set half a year after the death of Aya. Her younger sister Ako is training to be a nurse, while Haruto has already become a neurologist at the hospital Aya was once treated at. The loss of Aya strongly affects Haruto, causing him to lose sight of himself. But after he meets Mizuki, a 14-year-old patient who has given up on living, he feels compelled to share with her the story of Aya's life.

Synopsis source : d-addicts

I have hold this SP for a long time. I have watched the series it make me cried in every episode. I just can't bear to cry again. Anyway, this SP is more about flashbacks on what happen on the series. It show a bit of what happens after 1 1/2 year after the death of Aya.

Storyline is not interesting. It have a lot of flashbacks. The flashbacks kinda make me cry again =.=;

Anyway, just ok. It suitable for people who have finish watching it a long time ago and doesn't remember what happens in the series. Like me LOL.

Overall, I rate this SP 3 out of 5.. :D

K-ON!

Synopsis :

It's Yui Hirasawa's first year in high school, and she's eagerly searching for a club to join. At the same time, Ritsu Tainaka, a drummer, and her friend Mio Akiyama, a bassist, are desperately trying to save the school's light music club, which is about to be disbanded due to lack of members. They manage to recruit Tsumugi Kotobuki to play the keyboard, meaning they only need one more member to get the club running again. Yui joins, thinking it will be an easy experience for her to play the castanets, the only instrument she knows. However, the other members think their new addition is actually a guitar prodigy...

Synopsis source : animenewsnetwork

This is actually my favourite. It have a light and entertaining storyline. For an anime that about a band, this anime have less singing. Well I anticipate for a song each time I watch it, but it have only 2-3 minutes of singing. The song and ost are catchy and I love it. Each episode have a typical everyday life of a student but it still managed to make it funny and entertaining.

Overall, this anime is suitable for someone who just need a light comedy anime. I love it and I rate it 4 out of 5.. I wish it have more singing action ;)

Synopsis :

A plane crashes in the Amazon rainforest, leaving young Amazon (Daisuke Yamamoto) stranded without his parents. Soon adopted by an Incan tribe, Amazon becomes a wild child, living off the land. However, Amazon's idyllic existence is cut short when Gorgos, the Ten Faced Demon, massacres his village, slaughtering everyone except himself in search for the powerful "GiGi Armlet", which gives the bearer fantastic power. Elder Bago, last of the Incas, gives the GiGi Armlet to Amazon for safekeeping while using his knowledge of Incan science and magic to perform a mystical "operation" on Daisuke, transforming him into the powerful "Kamen Rider Amazon" before he died. Arriving at Japan, Amazon battles Geddon without full knowledge of their reason of pursuing him. Befriending the nephew and niece of Professor Kousaka, Amazon learns the nature of the GiGi Armlet as he defeats Geddon and then the Garanda Empire.

Synopsis source : wiki

After watching Decade, I'm really wondering about Kamen Rider Amazon. After I watch it, it is really an unique Kamen Rider.

It have 24 episode. Much less than normal Kamen Rider series. I heard it because the fight scene more violent. Well at this time, when I watched it, it kinda funny. But at that time without CGI, it is interesting how they fully utilize the camera angle to make the fight scene look more realistic. :D

Anyway, aside from the technology used at that time, this series actually have a decent storyline. The first half kinda boring but when Amazon can communicate freely with people it become more interesting and less narration (that is good!). The storyline towards the ends kinda interesting even sad at one part.

Overall, this Kamen Rider Amazon is really unique and entertaining. I rate it 3 and half out of 5.. :D

Synopsis :

A mystery unfolds with a woman named Madoka (Maki Horikita), who is a killer, and Ataru (Masahiro Nakai). The woman possesses the same extraordinary memory and deductive reasoning abilities as Ataru.

Synopsis source : asianwiki

Ataru movie. This movie is a continuation from the SP. This movie have interesting storyline. It show more on Ataru's life or more about his first love. I love everything about this movie aside some thing that bother me. Maki Horikita is really a great actress. I can feel the loneliness and creepy at the same time. But the hand thing that Ataru keeps doing and when she try to do it, it look kinda fake and she looks more normal than Ataru. But who am I to judge. I never meet people with Savant Syndrome so I don't really know.

Then the second thing is about Ebina. She promised to help Ataru but I don't see she doing anything other than yelling at Sawa. All the hard works is from other people. Without Ataru she kinda useless. @_@

The ending kinda sad. It wrap Ataru's story really well. I enjoy watching this movie even it have plot hole here and there. This movie doesn't bother to explain how to virus got into Ataru's small pc and no explanation that he is actually playing games at that times.  Overall this movie just ok  and with that I rate it 3 out of 5..

Synopsis source: asianwiki

After watch the tv series, I am excited to see more ATARU!! SP continues from the tv series.
The first episode is more a recaps version. It have more flashbacks than the main storyline. Overall, interesting but doesn't have many plot on main storyline.

The second episode is more interesting as it focus more on ATARU's sibling relationship. Interesting and I always wonder what happen to ATARU's brother.

Overall, the first episode just ok and the second episode is more entertaining. The ending showing cliffhanger for the next ATARU Movie. I can't wait to watch the movie. With that I rate this SP 3 and half out of 5... :D

I have this drama for a long time already but I just watch it recently. I wish I have watch it earlier because this is one of the best drama I have watch.

Arrow Season 2

Synopsis:

One year ago, Oliver Queen was rescued after being stranded on a island for five years. In place of the playboy he was, Oliver returned as a man bent on righting the wrongs of his family and those who had corrupted his city, as a hooded vigilante.

Synopsis source : wiki

Arrow season 2.. This tv series is interesting but I think the back story always changing to suit the story development.

Spoiler alert!! Well it said Slade is dead but then Slade is still alive. The same thing with Sara. The back story always changing and not consistence.

Because of too many drama, I kinda lost interest with this tv series. Oliver is the person that think everything revolve around him. The facts that he is a playboy, he can sleep with almost everyone and this kinda make him annoying. :P

Anyway, I found another annoying character that is Thea!! Congratulations. You jumped into my annoying characters list.

Making this review short this tv series just ok. Not bad and not that great either. I rate this tv series 3 out of 5.. :D
