(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ ~ Anime Suggestions Box ~ ★~(◡‿◕✿): May 2020

Top Sites to Watch Movies & Animated Films

WARNING!! I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SITES!

1. www.watchcartoononline.com

This website has not only anime but the oldest to newest cartoons (up-to-date). From the Amazing World of Gumball to Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, this site has the least number of pop-up ads than any other streaming site. If you want to watch ATLA or Teen Titans, this website is for you!

2. Kissanime.ru

Similar to the first suggestion, Kiss owns a large number of websites. From Kiss cartoon, Kiss Anime, to Kiss Asian (mentioned later). Although this website has a lot of pop-ups and side ads, it's more up-to-date on some of the most popular Japanese animated pictures. One con is that there are some anime that haven't been updated in a while.

3. Kissasian.es or Kissasian.sh

Kiss makes a lot of streaming websites. This one is where you can watch whatever Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese dramas you want for free. The team does its best to update every episode. It's similar to Viki.com but without ads split up in the videos.

4. Fmovie.to

Have you watched to watch that movie you've been dying to see in the theaters? Here is a website where you can watch it for free and in HD. Fmovies.to uploads the newest movies in HD after they've come out on streaming services and digital downloads. You can watch Kdramas, TV Shows, anime, cartoons, and movies. There are films that have come out this year on there right now.

Anime Review

Shin Shirayuki-hime Densetsu Pretear

Original Name: 新白雪姫伝説プリーティア "Shin Shirayuki-hime Densetsu Puriitia"
English Licensed by: ADV Films
Aired: 2001
Episodes: 13
Genre: Fantasy and Shoujo
Opening song: White Destiny

Spoilers beyond this point!!

Pretear (called short) is a manga series and anime illustrated then produced in 2000. It did not become an animation until spring 2001. It ran for 4 manga volumes which turned into 13 animated episodes. The anime is owned by ADV films but was later licensed by Funimation and Madman Entertainment.

The story is about a normal high school girl named Himeno. Her father is a famous romance novelist who married Himeno's current step-mother, Natsue. Her new family owns a huge mansion and has a claim to most of the city's buildings so their name is plastered everywhere. One day, on her way getting lost to school, Himeno stumbles upon a Leafe Knight named Hayate (knight of wind). Very rude at first, Hayate connects with Himeno claiming her to be a Pretear. A magical princess who has the ability to soul bond with the Leafe Knights to gain powers. These powers are then used to wipe out demons and bring peace to the Earth. But there is an evil princess named Takako who wishes to see the world burn after her feelings were rejected by Hayate. So Himeno does everything within her power to stop the dark princess and claim peace once again. Sacrificing herself for the greater good.

Story: For me, the story wasn't bland at all. It was really well-written for such a short 13 episode series. Most series that have 24 or even 52 episodes leave me with questions and cliff hangers. But the ending to this felt complete. Peace is brought back to the world and everyone is alive. Pretty good.

Voice Acting: I wasn't too attracted to Himeno's voice but it did match her character design. Everyone else was very likable and you could see yourself getting along with them. I recognize Monical Rial and Greg Ayres in this anime. But I haven't done the research for Sasame, Takako, or Shin.

Character Design: If you have not read the manga, the character design isn't too far off. I'd say the design is very good for an anime of this time. I like Shin's (the youngest) design the most though. He's like a baby and we must protect him at all costs.

Animation: The animation for this anime was really good given that it came out in 2001. If you look carefully at some scenes, they use a 3D-like animation for the opening and some magical sequences. It's very well-done.

RATE: 4/5 star or 8/10 scale. I would watch again!
