Alchemy for the Android phone

(9/10)Alchemy is a very addicting game I recently found on the Android phone's market. I downloaded the free game because it had so many great reviews. Here's the objective:
•The player starts out with 4 basic elements (Air, Earth, Water, Fire)
•These elements must be mixed with each other to create more elements
•There are 300 elements to unlock starting only with the original 4

Some of these elements are actual elements in real life, but most of them are just random objects. For example, man is an elements in this game that is used to make a lot of different things.
This creative and well-made game is very addictive and enjoyable. I love this game because of how challenging it is, but also because it is funny. On the Andoid market this game got an incredible 5 OUT OF 5. I think that this game deserves that rating and I give it a 9 out of 10. I hope that anyone who owns an Android phone who reads this goes and downloads Alechemy ASAP. Good luck~.(9/10)

xxxHOLiC

Length: 26 episodes, 1 movie

(8.5/10)Summary: Watanukee (the boy on the right) is a slightly nerdy highschool student with a very strange trait: He's followed around relentlessly by spirits. One day, his spastic wanderings to get away from the spirits lead him to the house of Yuko, who grants people wishes for an equivalent price. She claims she will stop the spirits from following Watanukee if he does her cooking and cleaning. The job sounds easy at first, but soon Watanukee discovers that Yuko lives in no ordinary house, and keeps no ordinary company. Watanukee has to keep his contract with Yuko, while attempting to win the heart of his crush, Himuware, and avoid Domakee, his self-proclaimed arch nemesis. The result is a creepy, mysterious, and sometimes humorous adventure for Watanukee.

Review:
Story: 8/10 The concept of xxxHOLiC is strong and different. However, this anime does not follow in a gradual arc throughout. Most episodes can be watched as stand-alones, but viewing the first portion of the series is important to figure out what is going on.
Art: 6/10 Not my preference in this chategory. The world looks almost dreary at most times, and style in general is extremely simple. However, I must hand it to them that this simple, dreary style is well-executed throughout, and stays relatively close to the manga's. (Originally drawn by CLAMP)
Characters: 9/10 Watanukee is the deffinition of the classic anime spazz, accompanied by calm and collected Yuko. Yuko's dry whitty (and sometimes perverted) sense of humor and Watanukee's inability to take a joke combine to bring an entertaining outcome, though Watanukee's frequent outbursts do grow tiresome after 26 episodes of his freaking out. Those of you who have read/watched Tsubasa RESEVoir CHroNiCLE will probably recognise Yuko as the time/space witch, along with the smart mouthed magic puff ball known as Mokina. Watching these three in particular interact throughout really made the show for me.

Overall? I'd have to give xxxHOLiC an 8.5/10. I love the characters, as well as the relentless torture Yuko puts Watanukee through (it's a sight to see) I don't think I'd call this a must-see, but it's certainly worth your time.(8.5/10)

Until next time, thanks for reading.

Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Rei (OVA)

Director: Toshifumi Kawase
Studio: Studio Deen
No. of episodes: 5
(9/10)Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Rei is the OVA addition to the Higurashi series. It was mainly just created for fans. There isn't much to say about this season, but it is indeed very well made. There are three chapters in this season. One of the chapters is just about what life is like after the end of Kai. When Rika was trying to enjoy herself, she was hit by a truck. When she woke up, she was in a parallel world where nothing bad ever happened and everything was perfect. The only problem was that the group of friends were drawn together due to hardships. In this parallel world however, Rika had no friends and Keiichi had never come to the village. A lot more things were different and she could not live happily. She had two solutions, either kill her mother (you'll find out why if you watch it) and return to the old world, or she could just suffer where she was in order to make others happy.
The other two chapters were just for fun really. One of them is about a magical speedo. Keiichi is wearing it, but it will give him bad luck and he doesn't know it. The girls decide to try to save him by ripping it right off of him!
The last chapter is about these supernatural items that cause people to fall in love, but can become disastrous. Rena accidentally swallows one when it falls from the sky. Basically the rest is all humorous.(9/10) Read more!
