User:Destiny Calling/Anime Page

A page dedicated to my favourite animes. A different section for each anime. I will also make mentions to the manga, if they have one. Now, we start off with my favourite overall. >:D

(NOTICE: The section entitled 'Personal Opinion' is for the creator of this page. If any of you wish to give your own comments and opinions, please leave them in the talk page)

Rozen Maiden
This anime is simply to die for! I'm serious!

Rozen Maiden is about a group of seven dolls who have been fighting throughout the centuries for the title of Alice, the perfect girl, so they can meet their father. The series focuses on a hikkikomori, a recluse, named Jun Sakurada, who becomes the owner and medium of one of these dolls, the fifth doll Shinku. With the arrival of Shinku, the rest come swarming like flies.

In the first series, the main antagonist is the first doll, Suigintou, who is the most determined to meet her father and have him finish her, since she was left without a stomach. Helping Jun and Shinku are the third, fourth and sixth dolls; twins, Suiseiseki and Souseiseki, and Hinaichigo, respectively.

The second series introduces the second doll and a fake seventh doll; Kanaria and Barasuishou respectively. Barasuishou is an anime only character, with the real seventh doll, Kirakishou, appearing for 3 seconds in the last episode, but more so in the manga.

Memorable Quotes from Series:

"Alice is a girl who only exists in fathers mind. A dream girl. More noble than any flower, more pure than any jewel, she is absolutely unspoiled. A girl so beautiful, so sublime, that no girl in the world could hold a candle to her."

- Shinku

"I am Kanaria, smartest of the Rozen Maidens!"

- Kanaria

"Oh you're so mean! Where's the proof that poor innocent Suiseiseki ate the strawberry? This is unbearable, I'm so being framed!"

- Suiseiseki

"You're so hopeless."

- Souseiseki

Personal Opinion:

My opinion? Well, I love the show. And I mean, love this show. It is so kicka** and awesome. The manga too, although the manga is slightly more crrepy with the inclusion of Kreepy KiraKira. However, it is still the kind of anime/manga that she want to continue watching/reading. Seriously. Just don't get too attracted to Souseiseki or Hinaichigo. I'm not going to spoil it, however I will tell you all that you're setting yourselves up for heartbreak with those two. But then again, that's what FanFiction is for. To do with the characters as you please. ^_^

Digimon
This show is funny, entertaining, with one or two dark seasons, but overall, a series that has twist and turns at every corner and will keep you glued to your seat/computer chair throughout. However, may I warn you all that there are a few moments where it drags out.

...Geez, I sound like a critic reviewing a movie. :p

Digimon is an anime about kids in Japan chosen to become DigiDestined (Chosen Children in the original). They gain partners (In Frontier, they become Digimon through Spirit Evolution) and fight hostile and/or wild digimon who try to hurt them or are planning to take over/destroy the Digital World or human world or even both. There have currently been 6 seasons, with the 6th season still currently airing.

Digimon Adventure looks at the lives of seven, later eight, kids trying to stop Myotismon from taking over their world and the Digital World. Later, they have to fight the Dark Masters who, in their absence from the Digital World trying to find the eighth member of their team and defeat Myotismon, have distroted and taken over the Digital World. Finally, they have to fight Apocalymon and the Digital World is a peace. However, they have to leave, leaving behind their digimon partners.

Here are their dub names, partners and crests, with any original Japanese names in brackets:
 * Taichi "Tai" Kamiya (Yagami Taichi), partners with Agumon, holds the Crest of Courage
 * Yamato "Matt" Ishida (Ishida Yamato), partners with Gabumon, holds the Crest of Friendship
 * Sora Takenouchi, partners with Biyomon (Piyomon), holds the Crest of Love
 * Mimi Tachikawa, partners with Palmon, holds the Crest of Sincerity (Crest of Purity)
 * Koushiro "Izzy" Izumi (Izumi Koushiro), partners with Tentomon, holds the Crest of Knowledge
 * Joe Kido (Kido Jyou), partners with Gomamon, holds the Crest of Reliability (Crest of Honesty)
 * Takeru "T.K." Takaishi (Takaishi Takeru), partners with Patamon, holds the Crest of Hope
 * Hikari "Kari" Kamiya (Yagami Hikari), partners with Gatomon (Tailmon), holds the Crest of Light

Digimon Adventure 02 is a continuation of the first series, only with a new generation of DigiDestined. Contray to popular belief, the '02' in the title refers to the year the series takes place (In story, not broadcast), not the chronological order of the series'. The season takes place 3 years after the first season (However, it only airs the year after, in 2000), and it introduces a new enemy, the Digimon Emperor (Digimon Kaiser in the original), who later becomes a member of the 2nd Generation DigiDestined. Once the Digimon Emperor was defeated, the team then had to deal with the return of Myotismon, this time as MaloMyotismon. This series also introduces a new way to fight. Since Digivolution (Evolution in the original), advancing a Digimon to the next level, is hampered by the Digimon Emperor's Control Spires (Dark Towers in the original), the new DigiDestined uses special digieggs that allow their partners to Armour Digivolve.

Dub names, partners and digieggs, original Japanese names in brackets:
 * Davis Motomiya (Motomiya Daisuke), partners with Veemon (V-mon), uses the Digieggs of Courage and Friendship
 * Yolei Inoue (Inoue Miyako), partners with Hawkmon, uses the Digieggs of Love and Sincerity (Digiegg of Purity)
 * Cody Hida (Hida Iori), partners with Armadillomon (Armadimon), uses the Digieggs of Knowledge and Reliability (Digiegg of Honesty)
 * Takeru "T.K." Takaishi (Takaishi Takeru), partners with Patamon, uses the Digiegg of Hope
 * Hikari "Kari" Kamiya (Yagami Hikari), partners with Gatomon (Tailmon), uses the Digiegg of Light
 * Ken Ichijouji, partners with Wormmon, uses the Crest of Kindness (Although not to digivolve)

Digimon Tamers looks at a separate universe from the first two seasons. Also, instead of being called DigiDestined this season, the protagonists are called Tamers. This season takes on a darker tone than the first two seasons, and focuses mostly on the human world. Digimon invade the human world through foggy portals called Digital Fields, while a human organisation called Hypnos tries to stop them. What's different about this season is that if a digimon gets defeated, they will turn to data. While that happens in all seasons, in the first two seasons, the data would reconfigure into digieggs (Different from the kind used to Armour Digivolve) at the Primary Village (Village of Beginnings in the original). However, in this season, the data can be absorbed. Cards are also used for power-ups and to allow for digivolution (Digivolution had to be achived naturally first before the card could be used). The first enemies were the Twelve Devas, all based off of the Chinese zodiac. Later, the tamers had to deal with the D-Reaper, a programme designed to activate and start deleting once the population of digimon reaches a certain limit. At the end, the digimon have to go back to the Digital World because of the Juggernaut project being activated to defeat the D-Reaper.

Dub names and partners, original Japanese names in brackets:
 * Takato Matsuki (Matsuda Takato), partners with Guilmon
 * Henry Wong (Li Jenrya), partners with Terriermon
 * Rika Nonaka (Makino Ruki), partners with Renamon
 * Kazu Shioda (Shiota Hirokazu), partners with Guardromon
 * Kenta Kitagawa, partners with MarineAngemon
 * Jeri Katou (Katou Juri), partners with Leomon (Now deceased)
 * Ryo Akiyama (Akiyama Ryou), partners with Cyberdramon
 * Suzie Wong (Li Xiao-Chun), partners with Lopmon (Male in the original, female in the dub)
 * Ai and Mako (Makoto), partners with Impmon

Digimon Frontier shows five kids ending up in the Digital World via digimon trains called Trailmon, due to a text they all recieved from a help seeking Ophanimon. A difference in this season is that the characters turn into digimon, rather than have partners, in a form of digivolution called Spirit Evolution. They have two different spirits; Human and Beast spirit each. Unlike the first three seasons, where the Digital World is ruled by the Digimon Sovereigns, this season, the Digital World is ruled by the three Celestial Digimon. The first enemy the DigiDestined face is the corrupted Celestial Digimon, Cherubimon and his also corrupted spirits. Later, it is revealed that the Spirit of Darkness is actually a human, and also Koji's twin brother, Koichi too. They then have to later face the revival of Lucemon, one of the most powerful rookies known. As well as Spirit Evolving into the two spirits, the spirits can also be merged to create stronger forms, including one where the entire team becomes one digimon.

Dub names, spirits and the two spirits, original Japanese names in brackets:
 * Takuya Kanbara, uses the Spirits of Flame, which consist of Agunimon (Agnimon) and BurningGreymon (Vritramon)
 * Koji Minamoto (Minamoto Kouji), uses the Spirits of Light, which consist of Lobomon (Wolfmon) and KendoGarurumon (Garmmon)
 * Zoe Orimoto (Orimoto Izumi), uses the Spirits of Wind, which consist of Kazemon (Fairymon) and Zephyrmon (Shutumon)
 * JP Shibayama (Shibayama Junpei), uses the Spirits of Thunder, which consist of Beetlemon (Blitzmon) and MetalKabuterimon (Bolgmon)
 * Tommy Himi (Himi Tomoki), uses the Spirits of Ice, which consist of Kumamon (Chakkumon) and Korikakumon (Blizzarmon)
 * Koichi Kimura (Kimura Kouichi), uses the Spirits of Darkness, which consist of Duskmon/Lowemon and Velgemon/JagerLowemon (Velgmon/KaiserLeomon)

Unfortunately, I haven't finished, or really even watched, Digimon Savers/Digimon Data Squad, so I'm afriad I can't give my opinion on it.

Digimon Xros Wars sees a group of children, mostly separate from each other, thrown into the Digital World during a war, started by the Bagra Army. The series focuses on the creation and battles of the Xros Heart Army, as they go against the Bagra Army, Blue Flare Army and Twilight Army. The series also introduces a new form of evolution called Digi Xros, where two or more digimon merge into one digimon. There may be multiple members of an army, however a human may have a single partner. This season is currently the only season of Digimon to be separate seasons, the first being called simply Digimon Xros Wars and the second being called Digimon Xros Wars: The Evil Death General and the Seven Kingdoms.

The series is yet to be dubbed, so original Japanese names will be used:
 * Kudou Taiki, partners with Shoutmon, general of Team Xros Heart
 * Hinamoto Akari, Taiki's best friend, member of Team Xros Heart
 * Tsurugi Zenjirou, Taiki's self proclaimed rival, member of Team Xros Heart
 * Amano Nene, partners with Sparrowmon, Monitamon and Mervamon, former general of Team Twilight, now member of Team Xros Heart
 * Aonuma Kiriha, partners with Greymon, general of Team Blue Flare
 * Amano Yuu, partners with DarkKnightmon, Nene's younger brother, general of Team Twilight

I haven't actually watched Xros Wars in a while, so I'm still a little slow. I'll try and catch up once I've finished my latest anime craze, Gosick.

Personal Opinion:

I love it. Fun, entertaining, blah, blah, blah, see above. My favourite seasons, in order, are Tamers and Xros Wars in joint first, Frontier in a close second, Adventure 02 is third and Adventure last. I still liked Adventure, so don't think that it being last means anything. The show has lots of couple opps. I myself am a firm (This time in no order) Taiora, Takari, Jurato, Kenyako, Koumi, Jenruki, Takumi and PataGato fan. =)

Gosick
Nobody likes boredom. But this anime shows a character who is stuck with constant boredom with a fun way to stave it off, that always ends too quickly.

Gosick is an anime about a Japanese transfer student, Kazuya Kujo, going to a prestigious academy called Saint Marguerite Academy in the fictional European country of Sauville. However, because of the academy's superstitions and love of ghost stories, he has been labeled the 'Dark Reaper who comes in the Spring'. At the request of his teacher, he goes up to the top of the library and meets the doll like beauty, Victorique de Blois. The girl, who should be in the same class as Kujo, is confined to the botanical garden at the top of the library, and is struck with extreme boredom. Her half brother, Inspector Grevil de Blois, often comes to her for help on his cases, which she can normally solve in a few moments. She calls it 'reconstructing the pieces of chaos'. The show is set in 1924, shortly before the 2nd World War.

Memorable Quotes from Anime:

"I'll reconstruct the Chaos for you"

- Victorique de Blois

Personal Opinion:

Creepy. Bada**. Kinda bloody at times. Overall; the best freakin' anime ever! well, besides Rozen Maiden. ^_^

I love Victorique. She is so cute, and sweet, and awesome, and amazing! She can solve an impossible case in a few moments (We could probably use her), she has a love of sweets, and and she is just too freakin' adorable! Especially when she is rolling on the floor out of sheer boredom! I'll put up a video shortly. And Grevil has the most rediculous, yet hilarious hair style in all of anime history!!

Basically...

'''WATCH THIS ANIME!! NOW!!'''

Shugo Chara!
This anime is fun, amusing and overall, an interesting Shojo read/watch.

Shugo Chara! is about the "Cool and Spicy" new girl, Hinamori Amu. After transferring to Seiyo, she wakes up the next morning to find three eggs in her bed. They gradually hatch into her charas; her would be selves, Ran, Miki and Su. She joins the Guardians, a special kind of school council, as the Joker and together with her new friends, she battles X eggs and X characters, and Easter, while trying to find the magical, wish granting Embryo.

More coming soon...from this section

Hetalia
Yes, nearly 4/5ths of the wiki have already heard of this and watched this, however I want to add it to my section. Why? Because a) it's my section, b) I want to, and c) I'm the founder. Any objections? None? Good.

Hetalia - Axis Powers - known simply as Hetalia by fans - is an anime which personifies the countries and has them act out well known (And not so well known) moments in history - simply for the comedy and Yaoi benefits. The series focuses mostly on WWII, drifting off into other time periods from time to time. However, this was later abandoned by the anime. Series 3 and 4 (Seen mostly as a joint Season 2) is known as World Series and instead focuses on the characters interacting normally in the modern day (This is merely the impression I have of it since I watch the dub and World Series is yet to be released in dub).

The following are simply the main characters. Seeing as how this anime/manga personifies countires, there are most definitely more characters. However, this is only the Axis and the Allies. Same as above, dub names are used with original names and terms in brackets. Also, please do not ask why I have specified their names in the original Japanese. I don't know myself.

Axis:


 * North Italy (Italia), though he is only referred to as Italy. He is the main and titular character. He is cowardly and highly dependant on Germany, and is almost always seen with either his trusty white flag, a bowl of pasta, or both. He can easily be identified by his odd curl.
 * Germany (Doitsu). He is Italy's best friend and possible the only character that can actually put up with him. He is strict and tough, though he does have a bit of a soft side when it comes to Italy.
 * Japan (Nippon/Nihon). He is quiet and reserved, with very little friends due to remaininga recluse for the past 200 years before WWII. His only real friends would probably be America and England (Though I think Italy would count as well).

Allies:


 * America, the self proclaimed 'hero' of the allies. He is childish and idiotic, though has been shown to be serious on occasion, though these occasions are rare. He wears a set of glasses which represent Texas and has a cowlick that represents Nantucket. He used to be one of Britain's colonies, until the Revolutionary War, when he became independant. Since this event, things between him and Britain have been fairly sour.
 * Britain (England), the tempermental Tsundere (By fanon standards) of the group. He and France do not get along, so much so that nearly everytime they are together, they will most definitely start fighting. Relations between him and America have also been strained since the Revolutionary War. In fact, during Independence Day, we will drink himself stupid. He cannot hold his liquor (Or as he puts it in the dub 'held my locker') and he cannot cook to save himself. He can be identified easily by his large fuzzy eyebrows. He also has a thing for black magic and for seeing fairytale creatures no-one else can see, making everyone believe he is crazy. (Oy, longest one yet O_o)

More coming soon...
