Over View:
Moon Phase is about the relationship between freelance photographer Kouhei Morioka and Hazuki, a teenager who descends from a royal vampire lineage. At the beginning of the story, Kouhei travels to a castle in Germany to take photographs of paranormal phenomena for his friend Hiromi, who is the editor of an occult magazine. At the castle, Kouhei meets Hazuki, who feeds on Kouhei's blood and claims him as her unwilling servant. Although this "blood pact" is supposed to bind Kouhei to Hazuki as her obedient slave, her act has no effect on Kouhei (later in the series, it is revealed why he isn't Hazuki's slave- like I'd tell you guys!). Following an action packed sorcerers battle, in which Kouhei and his cousin Seiji manage to free Hazuki from her captivity in the dreary castle, Hazuki travels to Tokyo, and takes up residence with Kouhei in his grandfather's house in Japan. Hazuki claims that, because she fed on his blood, Kouhei is now her servant, but Kouhei refuses to obey her, especially when he thinks her requests are unreasonable. Despite their fighting, the relationship between the duo progresses over time - even in the face of repeated attacks by opposing vampires - until Kouhei becomes determined to protect Hazuki from the vampire servants of her family, who are determined to retrieve her by whatever means necessary.

The downside: Boring! The series drags and drags. I had to force myself to watch the entire series. Sort of picks up at the end. I really expected more *sigh* However I never got bored at staring at Seiji. He looks a lot like chronicle_tenko. .

Kara no Kyoukai ( Garden of sinners)

First Kara no Kyoukai Movie.

From a long sleep, Ryougi Shiki awoke.
As an after effect, she gained the power to perceive the death of things.
A power to kill anything with just a knife lures Shiki into a dark world.
The murderer from two years ago.
Swarm of floating ghosts
A girl who can bend things by just looking at them.
A spiral construction which collects people`s death.
When numerous bizarre incidents collides with Shiki`s Mystic Eyes...
her lost memories reawakens---.

The main character, Ryougi Shiki, was involved in a car accident and fell into a deep coma for two years. When she finally awoke from it, she had gained the “Eyes of Death Perception” ability but believed to have lost something instead.

The Ryougi family attempted to create human beings that exceeded normal humans, and to accomplish this, they trained their children in various martial arts and fencing, and also made them split their personalities. They believed that by using this method, one personality could be an expert in one subject while the other could be master other subjects. Shiki was no exception to this, and she had a masculine and feminine side that switched places with each other.

After having woken up from the accident, Shiki believed that her masculine personality side had died during the accident. Instead she tried to supplement the spiritually dead Shiki`s personality by her masculine tone.

Kekko Kamen (OVA)
けっこう仮面

Opening Song: ( and Ending song too)- "Kekko Kamen No Uta"- (Emi Shinohara)

Released: 1991- re-released in 2004 and 2007

Genre: Comedy, Ecchi, softcore Yuri

Number of Episodes: 4 (One volume disc)

Rating: 4.0

Over View:
Holy fuck. When I picked up Kekko Kamen I wasn't expecting such insanity! It's just as the picture depicts and what the ending theme song says. "She is a naked superhero...." Okay okay, there's more to it. Kekko Kamen is a "superhero" whose costume consists solely of red boots, gloves, scarf and a mask that looks like she's wearing red pantie hose on her head. She is graceful, and her finishing move involves driving the opponent to the ground with a flying takedown in which she presses her groin into the victim's face.

Kekko Kamen is a suppose to be parody of hentai and magical girl shows, both Kekko Kamen's true identity is never revealed.

The downside: Really stupid, poor animation and Kekko Kamen's cooch is censored! lol.

Downside about this series is that unlike the manga the anime adaption is rather slow paced. and also the animation never really improves and the first half of the series is very very slow. I give it a 3 out 5

** sorry, couldn't find names for songs/ bands**


Released: 1998-2000 ( original run)

Genre: Comedy, Romance,Action Adventure ( Typical CLAMP stuff)

Number of Episodes: 70 ( no box set avail), 2 movies- Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie and Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 2: The Sealed Card

Rating: 9.0

Over View:

TV Series: Ten-year-old fourth grader Sakura opens a mysterious book in her father's study and accidentally lets loose the magical Clow Cards. By her ability to open the seal, Sakura is revealed to have special powers, and it becomes her responsibility to retrieve the missing cards.

The task involves finding each card, battling its magical power, and sealing it away. Sakura is assisted by a lion named Kerberos, (also known as Kero-chan), the Beast of the Seal assigned to protect the cards, who was asleep when Sakura opened the Clow Book (He was on a "nap" at the time, which lasted 30 years). Kero, who looks like an animated plush toy throughout most of the series, guides Sakura as she develops her Cardcaptor powers.
Sakura also eventually competes with Syaoran Li, the descendant of the Clow Cards' creator, Clow Reed, in capturing the Cards.

Cardcaptor Sakura: The MovieOccurring between episodes 35 and 36 of the 1st and 2nd seasons, the first movie takes Sakura and company to Hong Kong during winter break.

Still in her quest to capture all the Clow Cards, Sakura encounters new challenges, some of which take place in ominous dreams. Sakura must defeat a vengeful sorceress called Madoushi who was rejected by Clow Reed in the past or risk losing her family and friends.

Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 2: The Sealed Card
Syaoran has already admitted his feelings to Sakura, but she has yet to answer him. Chances become good when Syaoran visits Tomoeda from Hong Kong over the summer and participates in a school play with Sakura during the Nadeshiko Festival. However, Sakura has more issues challenging her than finding the right moment to confess to Syaoran. A strange force begins stealing the Sakura Cards and erasing portions of Tomoeda. Sakura soon encounters a mysterious Clow Card called The Nothing, the antithesis of the 52 Sakura Cards with as much negative power as all their positive powers combined.

The downside: Does not follow the manga well and there's a lot of missing information. Season One was only ever aired in North America (which sucks- it was censored as well!). CLAMP has still yet to release a DVD set of Cardcaptor Sakura.
