I may not be the formost reviewer of things or even the fivemost reviewer but I think my reviews here are good.
I saw/will see a couple of animes in the last month and in the next month.
I'll review/preview them and say if you should watch them.
First is something I watched only because a guy I get anime from said it was good. http://animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia...hp?id=2088
Eiken.
After watching this two episode series I said, and I quote, this:
"It was horrible. It's really goofy, ecchi, full of fanservice, full of huge boobs, one of the characters is always sucking something phalic, and I think it's like a tv talk show like ricki lake or a lot of other people. Or like a reality show."
But it's something you watch only once or twice every so often. (ecchi in the example is like soft core porn almost) It's is funny and it does have some heart but still, it's not something you'll want to watch a lot or maybe even be seen watching. Unless it's with friends.
Next is something good.

Gokusen.
Kumiko Yamaguchi is a teacher fresh out of college. When she goes to a private school and ends up teaching a bunch of delinquents. They call her "Yankumi"(she remarked that they couldn't spell) and try and mess with her. What no one knows (except for the prettyboy who seems to be the lead guy in the class and who figures it out over the series'es length) is that she's an airess to a yakuza or japenese mafia. The Oedo clan is one of the strongest in japan.
The series deals with her, her mob family(includng a pretty human acting dog), and the school. And of her trying to keep her gangster ID secret from the school. It's a funny show but there is some fighting and language.
Some of you like vampires and all that goth-y stuff right? Coupled with some violence and some language and you may like these two series.
Hellsing- http://animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia...php?id=387
Seen in the picture is the three main characters.
The Hellsing organization is an old group that destroys vampires and others who make the night unsafe.
On the left is the current leader, Sir Integra Hellsing-a powerful leader and a very strong woman.
On the right is the organization secret weapon, Alucard. And if you're smart you'll relize that that's dracula spelled backwards. (but don't worry, it took me awhile to figure it out) He carries two guns and I bet a lot of you will like his 100% power form.
In the middle is the newly turned vampire Seres. She's cute, calls Alucard master(he's the one that had to bite her to save her from dieing), and she carries a very large gun.
It's a pretty violent series with some cursing and atleast two scenes with something kind of sexual in them but I liked it. It also has a manga of it.
Similar to that is a series called Trinity Blood.

Also about a vampire hunting vampires, this has a church group fighting vampires in a post-apocalyptic world. It comes on adult swim sept. 9th at 12:30 right after the next series I'm reviewing.
Bleach.
http://www.adultswimhq.com/bleach.php
A show I personally recomend if you liked shows like Yu Yu Hakasho or even Naruto (but it's more like YYH then Naruto).
Ichigo Kurosaki, along with his father and two sisters, run a clinic. They all can see ghosts to varing degree. Ichigo the most.
A woman named Rukia, a death god(like a grim reaper) suddenly shows up while tracking an evil spirit, called a hollow. A monsterous creature that used to be human. After protecting him and his family from this ghost and getting injured, Ichigo must become a death god (they're called Shinigami but death god works fine as a name).
Ichigo is your standard tough guy. But he's nice to people and has some friends. He also has spiritial powers from when his mom died when he was little. Now he has to save people from the hollows and send good ghosts to the afterlife. Like all death gods, he has his own sword, which is different then any other death god's. His is a large butcher knife of sorts. He is voiced here by Jonny Yong Bosch. Who also voiced Vash the stampede, Renton on Eureka 7 and he played a power ranger. (No comments please).
Rukia is a death god that patrolls the area Ichigo lives. She was suprised he can see her. After saving him from an attack, she gets injured and tranfers her power to him. She's voiced by Michelle Ruff who also voiced Izumi/Zoe and Lopmon as well as Fujiko Mine from Lupin the third and many more.
Orihime is Ichigo's friend and neighbor. She, in a few words is, kind of ditsy. She is a good friend though. One of Ichigo's best friends. She's also... pretty stacked to put it quite honestly. She was looked after by her brother but he died. And her snowflake hairclips she always wears were from him. They also let her call on different fairy like creatures to use. Think of her as the magic user/healer of an RPG. Voiced by Stephanie Sheh who also voices Hinata Hyuuga from Naruto and Minami from the first Tamers movie.
Sado Yasutora know as Chad to his friends is a large half mexican guy. One of those strong but gentle types. Unless you bother a friend. He's a guy you'd want to have as a friend. Ichigo saved him from a fight once.
His arms can be covered by a powerful armor which let him punch really powerfully. It's not know who voices him. (Or atleast I can't find it)
Uryu Ishida is another friend. He's pretty serious most of the time and is great at sowing and crafts. He looks a little like ken with glasses.
He's a Quincy which is a lot like a death god but instead of sending souls to the afterlife, his bow and arrows just destroy them. The quincy were pretty much wiped out by the death gods because they would mess up the balence of the universe by just destroying souls. He's voiced by Derek Stephen Prince who also voiced Ken, Piedmon, Beelzemon/Impmon, Veemon and a butt load of other Digimon characters. Plus he voices Shino Aburame from Naruto.
That's just the main cast. There's a lot of other characters in the series. Including 13 whole squads of death gods in spirit world. Also there's action, comedy (a favorite scene involves the cat looking Yoruichi, a character who helps Ichigo and friends or different scenes with Kon, a lab made soul in the body of a stuffed lion), drama, plot twists, and a lot more. Premires Sept. 9th at 12 a.m. on Adult Swim.
That's all the new anime I've seen or will see in the past month or in the next month and that I'll be reviewing/previewing now. If you see only one anime I listed then watch Bleach. Then stick around for Trinity Blood.
