Baccano


This goes down as 1 of my favorite anime. This is another one of those Netflix anime that I kept avoiding. I eventually started watching it but got to confused in what the man was explaining to the girl so I stopped watching it for awhile and started to watch the Golgo 13 moves. After watching the Golgo 13 movies I went back to see if the series was going to turn out to be good. After the explanation the story starts, off with everyone getting off the train that the story is about. This story really has no beginning or ending it just talks about certain situations that happen between some immortals. The anime series is about a group of immortals in the past and how they became immortal. Also it jumps to the future of that time to another group of mortals who become immortal due to the fact that someone was able to make another batch that could make more immortals. This time is around the 1930s and this is the time with the train I think it's called the Pussy Foot and the trip it makes which has a lot of gangsters on the train all with a different purpose but they all run into each other. Out of the gangs is one psychotic group that loves blood and killing people. The leader of the group is very crazy but pretty funny and he finds a female who I think really will love him which makes me want to read the novels and see what happens to that relationship. Another group is on some crazy worship of someone and wants to kill everyone; these are the people I'm talking about that are dressed in black. I might not have got who they were really good. While the small gang the
Jacuzzi gang just wanted to rob everyone for money, they are kind of nice though but still they are gangsters. I like to just give an overall review and don't want to get deep into the storyline and spoil the whole story but if you like gangsters, people being killed, immortals, and the 1930's you will love this.
The couple in the story is the funniest in the series and it will be a huge shock for you to find out when they actually became immortal. Remember their faces because if you watch other stories from this author you will see them in it. Overall I give the story a 6 out of 6 with a funny face because I wish they would keep going with the story, even though it won't ever have an end since they're immortals and all cool with each other but you never know what will happen in the next 1000 years.

Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit












This was a fantastic story which shocked me I never thought I would have started to watch it from just looking at the covers on netflix. I have always seen it on netflix for the past few years but thought it was going to be a corny lame ass story and I didn't want to watch something so bad after coming off so good anime. It turned the story was a great adventure about a female warrior who has to take care of this little prince while his father is out to kill him. From looking at the trailer the female seemed like a manly women and at the time of watching the clip I think I had just finished Girls Bravo so I was more interested in an ecchi story than an action or the main female character had to be aleast alright looking.

I eventually started watching it and it became one of those series that kept me going to the next episode to see what was going to happen next. The story is about a young prince who has a water spirit living inside of him. This spirit is considered a demon by the king and he has his men go kill his son so the land wouldn't be cursed with a drought. It seems very harsh for the King to do this to his son but he was thinking that this would help out the country so he would sacrifice his youngest son for the sake of the country. Now if I was the King I wouldn't have been so quick to kill my son without looking if there was a way to prevent my son from dying. At first I thought the King was an evil tyrant but as the story progresses it will show you that he was just panicking like all the others on his side and just started killing people to hope that it will solve everything. Luckily the female warrior Moribito was walking by in the area and she saves the little prince while the kings' men were trying to assassinate him once again. The queen eventually ask her to save her son but kind of gave her a protect my son or die type order. It's funny throughout the story the king's men try to assassinate the kid and woman and Moribito would fight them off while not trying to kill them. If she did try to kill them it would have been no problem reminding me of Rurouni Kenshin. After the kings' men finally finds out that there is a way to help the water spirit and the prince they work with Moribito

 but at the end when everything is done they try to kill Moribito so that no one will ever know about the events that happen and to make the prince seem more like a hero for saving the country and not talking about anything what Moribito did to keep the king alive. They also wanted to protect there own ass from looking so bad trying to go after the prince and kill him. This whole adventure would have been very simple if all the sides in the story decided to listen to each other to help solve the problem without trying to kill the other thinking that the other is considered barbaric. Didn't talk about the other main characters and places because I suggest you watch the story because it has a good begginning and end. Overall I give the story a 5 out of 6. Moribito I hope ends up with the dude who took care of her wounds all her life. I don't know why she didn't tell him to come with her or just stay home she was in the age to start making babies.
