Drama Time! Akuto - Juuhanzai Sousahan

In the world there are rabbits and hyenas, a docile rabbit will live its life peacefully but hyenas are out chasing the rabbits then sucking them dry. Can a rabbit protect other rabbits from a hyena? or is it a fight between the hyenas to see who eats the rabbit first?
 
The detectives from the Fourth Section of Minato-cho Police Precincts Togashi Masayoshi, Iinuma Reiko, Shibata Yasuharu and Yamashita Manabu are detectives with the highest arrest record out of all the divisions. An amazing achievement which is shrouded by the rumor that illegal methods are used to get the job done. After the strange death of their chief officer from falling off the roof of a building during a chase a new chief is to be instated.  Satonaka Keiichiro is appointed for the job by the head of police administration , Maejima Ryuzo, as the Fourth Sections New Chief Officer. Though he believed he was demoted he is in fact sent there to keep tabs on the Fourth Sections activities on behalf of the head of police. Working together Satonaka finds that the rumors are true. Has Satonaka been placed into a hyenas play ground? Or are the hyenas really rabbits in disguise?
 
Unlike detective dramas from the past that I have reviewed this one ccertainly had no fall back on comedy going on but still it captivates you all the same safe to say its a mature detective drama.  The story lines in the beginning makes you absolutely doubt everyone and the first episode is a moment where you trust none of the characters to be the good detective they are suppose to be.  Though as the story line progresses you have to use your own judgment to decide whether or not they are doing good or just using justice as an excuse to do as they please.  Togashi Masayoshi the silent but most obvious leader of the detectives makes for a very exceptional character with an unwavering belief in what he does and Satonaka is his opposite although in the beginning he seems sure he wavers in his beliefs after meeting the four detectives from the fourth section. The four detectives were very well made up each with their own stories or background that correlated with the main storyline. 

The most shocking thing about the drama above all things is the ending, a happy ending seems in order after all the events that have happened but for the tone the drama had kept all through it a happy ending is not what you get, the last ten minutes of the drama leave you stunned and wanting to know what happens next.  To know what happened I'm guessing you would have to watch to know.

Till next time!

Anime Time! Amnesia

Based on a video game this anime takes place as the protagonist wakes up on August 1st with no memory of who she is.  In order to restore her memory, with the help from a fairy, she decides to interact with the people around her to figure out who she is.  The thing is that every time she gets a clue as to who the people around her are, she wakes up again on August 1st with memory of what has happened but everyone around her, although they are the same people, change characters and personality if this isn't shocking enough when she wakes up different people claim to be her boyfriend every time she wakes up?! Will she be able to figure out what's going on? And will she ever figure out who she is?

Well this anime I found randomly through some fan art so I knew absolutely nothing about it before I watched it besides the fact that the characters had playing card symbols on them, and because I love love LOVE playing card symbols when used in anime or manga, I decided to watch.  Sadly though this one didn't do much for me I had problems with the characters, since the main character was kinda meek I expected the other characters to shine out above the rest but this was not like that.  But that was before I knew the anime was based on a video game.   The video game is called an otome game (first time I've heard of that) and its basically the player gets to choses who she ends up with, after learning this I found the problems I had with the characters solve seeing as the video game would be ruined for some if their characters changed or turned out not to be what they imagined them as.  From a selling point of view I can understand that the anime was marketed toward the fans so I can't really criticize it for that.  The drawing style is very nice and the plot itself is okay, this is the kind of thing you could watch when you want the trill of a intricate story line without the intricacy.  For a college student who's brain is being fried by exam week (ME)  it is the perfect anime to watch.  Or for the ladies that want to be swooped off their feet by a animated character this is your anime, for the guys though I'm not sure as to whether the guys I know would watch it but if you like cute things the main character is cute and so is her fairy.  Well then,

Matane!
