I got bored, didn't feel like writing, and felt that I owed my readers some form of compensation, so I began to think "Why not make a little video as an excuse for what I have been doing this past week".
So here it is.

Hayate No Gotoku
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Summary: Ayasaki Hayate is an unlucky teenager who worked since childhood to make ends meet due to his parents' irresponsible behavior. One day he finds out that his parents ran away from home, abandoning him with a massive gambling debt on his shoulders. While running away from the debt collectors (the "generous people"), he ends up meeting Nagi Sanzenin, a young girl who is the sole heir of the wealthy Sanzenin estate, and due to a misunderstanding, Nagi ends up falling in love with Hayate. After he rescues Nagi from some kidnappers, she hires Hayate as her new butler.
The Good and The Bad: Hayate No Gotoku is a generally good anime with some decent characters, plot twists, and story development. Unlike a lot of anime (sounding a bit like a broken record here), it doesn't just die and remains funny (living up to the genre). There are a few bad things though. The first of these is that after the first 20 or so episodes, it begins to get more and more predictable. The second and last, is that after appearing, a character stands a 50% chance of never appearing again (this does NOT include characters who appear at the end of an episode or the main characters).
My Rating: 7/10

Posting
Sorry everyone that I have not posted in way too long. For the past few weeks, I have been entertaining guests of my father and sisters and have not had much time to blog, but now I'm back and ready to make up for lost time.

Naruto Shippuden
I've posted the first 2 episodes because it was a special. Enjoy! Remember, this is season 2
Naruto
Well, it's been awhile since I've actually done an anime reveiw, so today I will talk about Naruto and Naruto Shippuden.
Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Ninja (sort of...)
Summary: Naruto closely follows the life of a boy who is feared and detested by the villagers of the hidden leaf village of Konoha. The distrust of the boy has little to do with the boy himself, but it’s what’s inside him that causes anxiety. Long before Naruto came to be, a Kyuubi (demon fox) with great fury and power waged war taking many lives. The battle ensued for a long time until a man known as the Fourth Hokage, Yondaime, the strongest ninja in Konoha, fiercely fought the Kyuubi. The fight was soon won by Yondaime as he sealed the evil demon in a human body. Thus the boy, Naruto, was born. As Naruto grows he decides to become the strongest ninja in Konoha in an effort to show everyone that he is not as they perceive him to be, but is a human being worthy of love and admiration. But the road to becoming Hokage, the title for the strongest ninja in Konoha, is a long and arduous one. It is a path filled with betrayal, pain, and loss; but with hard work, Naruto may achieve the status of Hokage no matter what it takes.
The Good and The Bad: Naruto has its appeal in that it is addictave, easy to watch, and has some decent characters. However, with a slow, filler-ridden plot, the best description was in the summary, long and arduous. Well, in all, I'm rooting for the Akatsuki (ironic naming which will be explained in the next WOW) and hoping Naruto learns that there is more to life than orange jumpsuits and fishcakes.
My Rating: 6/10
