2016 Summer Anime

91 Days

Quote of Summary: "The time is 1920, five years after National Prohibition Law took place at a city called Lorel in the United States. Main character Avolio arrives to join the Vampiro family mafia undercover in order to seek revenge of killers who killed his parents and brother in this mafia. A Killing starts kills. Revenge starts new revenge. A story of vengeance and sorrow starts now."

Amanchu

Quote of Summary: "Hikari Kohinata is a cheerful 15-year-old girl who lives near the ocean and she spends much of her time diving as a result. On her first day of high school, she meets a teacher who also likes scuba diving. There's also a 16-year-old classmate, Futaba, who gets dragged along in Hikari's maelstrom as soon as they meet at school. Most of the manga so far details the relationship between the two girls, which quickly seems to move into romantic two girl friendship-territory."

Berserk (2016)

Quote of Summary: "Guts, known as the Black Swordsman, seeks sanctuary from the demonic forces that pursue him and his woman, and also vengeance against the man who branded him as an unholy sacrifice. Aided only by his titanic strength, skill, and sword, Guts must struggle against his bleak destiny, all the while fighting with a rage that might strip him of his humanity. Berserk is a dark and brooding story of outrageous swordplay and ominous fate, in the theme of Shakespeare's Macbeth."

Cheer Danshi

Quote of Summary: "The story revolves around the "slightly odd and cute" members of a cheerleading squad at a men's university."

Taboo Tattoo

Quote of Summary: " Seigi, a martial arts trained middle schooler, often feels driven to protect the weaker people around him. One day, he defends a homeless man against some punks, and the man gives him a strange tattoo on his palm in return. The tattoo is a secret weapon produced in the arms race between America and the Serinistan Kingdom.

Seigi finds himself in over his head when a powerful girl, using the same secret weapon, violently pursues him in order to retrieve it. His skill at martial arts may not be enough to keep him alive, but will he be able to learn how to trigger the power of his tattoo in time?"

Orange

Quote of Summary: " One day, Naho Takamiya receives a letter written to herself from ten years in the future. As Naho reads on, the letter recites the exact events of the day, including the transfer of a new student into her class named Kakeru Naruse.

The Naho from ten years later repeatedly states that she has many regrets, and she wants to fix these by making sure the Naho from the past can make the right decisions—especially regarding Kakeru. What's more shocking is that she discovers that ten years later, Kakeru will no longer be with them. Future Naho asks her to watch over him closely."

Qualidea Code

Quote of Summary: " The story takes place in a world where people continue their war against the "unknown"—the enemy of humanity. Children who have been evacuated to a cold sleep facility during the invasion by the "unknown" several decades ago wake up from their slumber and learn that their bodies developed some supernatural forces. In order to protect the country from the "unknown" emerging from the Tokyo bay gate, the boys and girls wage battles in the defense the cities of Tokyo, Kanagawa, and Chiba."

Book Review: NightBird

Book Review: "NightBird" by Alice Hoffman

Only true friendship can break an ancient curse.

Quote of Summary: "Because of a family secret, twelve-year old Twig keeps to herself, rarely venturing beyond her mother's apple orchard except to deliver pie to the general store. But when a girl named Julia moves into the cottage next door, everything changes. A witch lived there once, and Twig's first true friend, and her ally in breaking an ancient curse. In the spell bounding story by beloved author Alice Hoffman, friendship and love are truly magical"

My Rating: Even though I might be to old for this books since it is target to middle school kids, the rate seems about 2/5 stars for me. I didn't really feel any impact on this book and it felt really predictable but I won't give it a 1 because of the fact I've read worst books. I felt that in some parts of the book it was really rushed and the characters seems like any basic characters in stereotypical girl book.

In my opinion the characters started of interesting until a certain midpoint of the book and the characters began to get bland and bland as the story goes on. But I'm not going to lie because I like parts in the book. Anyway, this is just my small review and opinion on the book.
