Review of Hamasaki Ayumi’s album “Love Songs”

I realize that as of late I’ve been reviewing these… well, late, but it doesn’t change the fact that the content is fantastically delicious!! The album I’m about to critique is, in my opinion, Hamasaki Ayumi’s BEST ALBUM YET, and that’s coming from a very BIG AYU fan!!

So, WAAAAAAAAYYYYYY back in the latter part of 2012 (December 22nd, 2010 to be exact,) my dear, sweet Ayu-chan (who consequently turned 33 a week ago,) released an anthology of “love” related songs, which, at first, I honestly thought was going to be BO-RING… Boy was I wrong!!

A 15-year-old boy goes 1200 years back in time to find his unlikely destiny as the savior to end the war between humans and demons.

Having absolutely almost no interest in historical stories or whatsoever, this was one of the only anime that has historical themes to capture my interest within the first five minutes of viewing. Although the character art style isn’t the best (and it does irk me quite a bit throughout the whole thing), the storyline and many scenes in the movie definitely makes up for it. The beginning moments are absolutely captivating if you can last through the first 2 minutes. The final battle will send shivers down your spine with the amazing eye-candy.

During the middle, though, some parts may be a tad slow and some parts may also make you feel like smacking the protagonist. Other than that, this movie has definitely taken it’s place in my top twenties chart. In short, this is definitely a movie worth watching and enjoying.
