OtakuHome News: Sentai Filmworks lands Acchi Kocchi licens

The North American anime licensing company Sentai Filmworks announced on Wednesday that it has licensed the Acchi Kocchi television anime series. The company plans to release the 13-episode series under the name Place to Place later this year on subtitled DVD and through digital outlets. In a way i am a little sad this will not be getting a dub as I loved this anime but countering dubs in this day and age tend to not be all that good I am happy I love the Japanese dub too.

The story of Ishiki's original four-panel manga follows a tsundere (initially aloof and abrasive, but later kind-hearted) girl named Tsumiki (voiced by Rumi Ookubo), the most unsociable eyeglasses-wearing boy named Io (Nobuhiko Okamoto), and their classmates.

The show originally premiered in Japan in April 2012. for thos that stuck with me youl remember that was the time I was not rely posting anything well with this annoucement I will probly get off my ass and review it soon. 

So you want to be a Anime reviewer

Hey guys OtakuNick hear this time I am not hear for news or even a review tho dont worry I do have a review coming in the next 3 days or so. No I hear today to talk to all you would be anime reviewers you see recently I watched a few reviews of sum anime on youtube from a PhDmanchild . Now mind you I am not a pro reviewer I dont get payed to do this even with the ads on my site I only make like 50cet a month or so. But I try to conduct my self as if this was my job I.E I take time and research the subject to give you guys a good review. But all I could think of when watching PhDmanchilds reviews where dos he even review this stuff.

So with that I have desied to post sum tips to all you would be reviewers. first things first take your time and do your researc. If you dont research what your reviewing then your review will not be as good. Now Im not saying you need to know everything thar is to know about all the stuff you review but knowing  when it was made and witch company makes it will help.

Next up take your time I see so many new reviewers try to cram what should be a ten minutes review into 2 maybe 3 minutes on youtube or summarize everything in one paragraph. Its not a race people you have 15 minutes on youtube and for you posting on blogs and websites unless they say other whys your post can be a long as you want tho keep it withing reson no one wants to read a wall of text.

And last thing to try is to review in segments I tend to brake my reviews into parts. For thows that red my blog a lot you have probably already notes my reviews fallow the same lay out at the one below this is. this makes it easyer for you the poster to read the review for instenc sum of my reders might want to know what I think of the art of a serten anime but not what I think of the story or music well since all my reviews are layed out like they are that reader can just skip down to that part. Now for you on youtube you can use the segmented review format to your advatig as well espesholy if your in the habet of editing your vids. all you need to do is record all the parts sepret and then cut them togeather. This is helpfull in more then one way first it alows you to take a barke and sound less winded from talking in your vids. It can also help you plan out the vid langth if you know how much time you have to work with and how much you have to cover if you record each segment sepret you can just do the math befor hand.

otakunick reviews Wasurenagumo

Hey guys its otakunick again still working thew the backlog of animes that I had watched wall on my brake today its Wasurenagumo. One of the four anime works that each received 38 million yen (about US$470,000) from the "2011 Young Animator Training Project." Just like in 2010, the animation labor group received 214.5 million yen (US$2.65 million) from the Japanese government's Agency for Cultural Affairs, and it distributed most of those funds to studios who train young animators on-the-job.

   Wasurenagumo is a story about a middle aged used book store owner and his assistant. Who one day release an ancient spider demon from an old book the shop owner Suzuri Shu acquired for a privet collector. From there its a story about them tiring to sell the ridiculously cute demon away again be for it begins devouring people as it did in times past.

  Now then the animation is your standered production I.G art and by that I meen it looks good everything is animated well and thar are absalutly no real issues but as I stated in the first paragraph this OVA was brout about by up and coming animators so the art style is a bit ruff around the edges in fact this OVA kinda feels like what youd get if production I.G outsorced to studio Ghibli

the music thow used sparingly was good the OST contains a nice mix of more traditional Japanese scores to sum newer sounding stuff. But sum how remains consistent and blend well my favret of song would be the ending witch sum how manijes to sound bot traditional and new at the same time. Making shore sum thing that can be listened to constantly at lest for me.


The voice work is good the charters have sum pretty exserinsed talent behind them and every one seems to be having sum fun. So yea the voice work gets a pass but the only time you rely have to worry abouce bad dubs is when you get into the ENG dubs of anime.

Over all I think this is a OVA that should be seen. Not for anything ground braking it dose but just simply for the fact that for a 25 OVA it dose a good job at telling a story. A story mind you that feels like it should get atlest 2 or maby 3EP but they did great with what they got and deserve to have this seen.
