Kingdom Hearts 3 - It's been 10 years,

"Kingdom Hearts 3 have been an upcoming game
with an unknown release and platform,
There have been a lot of speculation and rumors on the game platforms and when it would be released for the past 6 years but the game is this not on the shelves.Another reason for this may be due to the series creator Tetsuya Nomura's focus on Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

There was a lot of rumor over what platform the game would be on as The Official Playstation Magazine mentioned a possible released date (2009) and said it will be exclusive to the Playstation 3.
TokyoGameShow and 1UP.com said that this was false and was only a rumor.
Shack News also mentioned the game would also be featured on the Xbox360 considering that Final Fantasy XIII was featured on both Playstation3 and Xbox 360.
Even Metro Noted that it may even be released on the Wii or any other next-gen console like Wii-U

Ars Technica's Frank Caron also noted that speculation whether the gap between Kingdom Hearts 1 and Kingdom Hearts 2 would be the same. (A one year gap)(In Story-line)

What To Expect?
There's a lot of fans thinking of what they could expect but  IGN's Ryan Clements (a KH Fandom) wanted the third installment to show more romantic relationship between Sora and Kairi , Darker Antagonist and a better Combat System.
Another thing to expect would be the introduction to Marvel Characters in the series as Disney bought out Marvel Entertainment.
So there was some speculation whether marvel character's as well as Marvel Themed worlds in the newer installment. But that's just something to look forward too.

Kingdom Hearts 3 another game that takes too long to be released.

Who knows it may be released together with  Diablo III and Half-Life 2: Episode 3.
(Diablo III and Half-Life2:Ep3 are both long awaited titles to be released)"

According to some sites, Should be out by June 16, Though no fixed date has been confirmed yet.

This post on the 30th may
Vine Report

Earlier last year they had a survey asking what the fans would want in the game, (March 2014)
Survey

So will 2015 finally be the year for Kingdom Hearts 3 on the PS4 and Xbone, probably YES.
Some characters are also rumored to make a cameo appearance on the franchise
Captain America, Queen Elsa, Darth Vader, Princess from Tangled and even some characters from "Big Hero 6". Now wouldn't those be some interesting summons,

Maybe a Star Wars or Marvel themed world, Would there be more development between Sora and Kairi.
Really can't wait for the release.

Review : Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Megami-hen (Season 3)

Review for Kami Tomi 3
=============================================
I have already posted a review for the first and second season, if you are reading this you are probably wondering if you want to continue this series or not.
First of all I would recommending watching the following OVA's in order:
Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Flag 0
Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: 4-nin to Idol
Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Tenri-hen
Magical☆Star Kanon 100%
To prepare you for Season 3, I hope you find my review helpful
=============================================
Summary of the Extended Review down below :

Story : Beginning may be confusing, A more serious season compared to the first two, Great Great Ending,

Art :Same as the first two season, Well done, No unique style though this is not a problem

Sound :Voices are done well (Japanese Dub) Sound Effects great

Character : We finally get to see our main character and his true emotions,

Enjoyment : Lack of Ecchi Scenes (Family Friendly), Confused at first though the more serious third season was a great way to end things


=============================================
Full Review

Story : Like what I said about the first season not your normal harem/RomCom anime, Expected that your already watched the first and second season , The beginning of this season may still be confusing even after watching the OVA's you will noticed that some parts of the story has been skipped to reach this arc of the story, I do like how this season was more serious and how the main character's emotions were brought out in such a unique way, I personally loved how they ended this season and this is the first anime that has ever made me want to read the continuation manga chapters (Chapter 189 is the ending of this season), Hoping for a season 4,
Personally a 9 because the start of the season kinda seems to leave the viewers a little confused unsure what we have missed and that actually cause me to put this season aside for awhile, Otherwise the rest of the season smooths out nicely,

Art : Same art style as the first and second season, consistent and there is no problem with that, The art style may be seen as a standard quality for anime's
8/10 like i said before would reserve 10/10 for anime's with unique art styles that works.

Sound : (Japanese Dub) Good work done by the voice actors, the characters sound like they should, (the voice fits the look of the character)
The sound effects are nothing special but they work. 10/10
(May re-watch everything through again in the english dub to rate it, psshh kinda want to watch it again.)

Character : Compared to the first and the second season we learn a lot more about our main characters and in this season it finally allows the viewers to connect to them, again like the second season we learn more about our main characters through the events that take place rather than back-story, to me this is great. 10/10 I wouldn't change anything about it.

Enjoyment : After watching the first and second season I was really looking forward to watching this season, The first episode really left me confused and like I said before it led me to drop watching this season for a week or two, Though as the season goes on it got a lot more serious and I have to say I really enjoyed how the story was went, Personally I loved how the ending was done and it wouldn't need a 4th season, (Even though I kinda want one)

Overall : Would recommend to all my friends who watch anime, Would recommend them to watch it immediately, The first anime that made me want to read the manga. 9/10 This has been a great season and it personally left an impact on how I will watch RomCom's it really was unique (to me). Will always believe that there will be an anime that would top this and missing episodes in between of season 2 and 3 may have cause it to lose its 10/10 for me.

Review : Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai II (2)

Review for Kami Tomi 2
=============================================
I have already posted a review for the first season and if you are reading this you are probably wondering if you want to continue this series or not.
=============================================

Summary of the Extended Review down below :

Story : Similar to the first season, I personally enjoyed the first season more, 

Art : Same as the first season, Well done, No unique style though this is not a problem

Sound : Voices are done well (Japanese Dub) Sound Effects great

Character: We get to learn more about our main character, We get introduced to more sub characters

Enjoyment : Lack of Ecchi Scenes (Family Friendly) Funny, Connection to the characters. I personally 
preferred the first season.

=============================================
Full Review

Story : 7 / 10 
Similar to the first season introducing more characters for our main protagonists to conquer, A new season full of new challenges. I personally would say I have enjoyed the execution of the first season more then this season, I personally enjoyed the range of different personalities that has been introduced in this season. Sad to say not as great as the first season (in my opinion). This great though.

Art : 8 / 10
Same Art style as the first season, like I said in my review of the first season, Similar to the art styles of many different animes, a Standard Quality as to say, Nothing unique, But like I said before "If it's not broken,Don't fix it".
Animation is nice, clean and easy to understand. 8/10 is my standard score for generally well done animation. 10/10 are usually for the anime's that have their own unique art styles that work, (it gives the studio that sort of recognizable style)

Sound : 10 / 10
(Original Japanese Dub) Good work done by the voice actors, the characters sound like they should,(as in the voice fits the look of the character).
The sound effects are nothing special but they work.
(May skim through the series again in the English Dub to rate it)

Character : 9 / 10
In my review of the first season I have said that the main character was mildly developed compared to the subs and I as a viewer felt more connected to the Sub characters. Though in Season 2, they have managed to develop our main character a lot more though not in the plain way of telling us more about him instead we are able to connect with the our main protagonist by watching his facial expressions and actions in reaction to the situations that occur. I personally like the way the developing was done, The sub characters are still as great as the first season,

Enjoyment : 8 / 10
After watching the first season I was really looking forward to this one and it did not disappoint, Though I may say it may have been a little messy in some areas where some things are left unexplained, I have enjoyed it anyway. Scored the same as the first season,

Overall : 8 / 10 
Story was executed similarly to the first one, The main characters have been developed a little bit more then how much was done in the first season,

Review : Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai

Review for Kami Nomi
=============================================

Summary of the Extended Review Below:

Story : Liked the sort of many ending type season,

Art : Well done, No unique style though this is not a problem

Sound : Voices are done well (Japanese Dub) Sound Effects great

Characters : Mildly developed Main Characters, Well Developed Sub            
                     Characters

Enjoyment : Lack of Ecchi Scenes (Family Friendly) Funny, Connection to the characters.

=============================================
Full Review

Story : 8 / 10
Not your usual harem anime,It has a great plot though some things goes on unexplained. I personally enjoyed KamiNomi as its like watching the ending of your favourite anime, Where the protagonists finally manages to get the girl as to say. and this anime is filled with those "endings". 8/10

Art : 8 / 10
The art style isn't anything new or unique to this anime as is may as well be similar to any other anime out there, But like I would say "If it's not broken don't fix it". Animation nice and clean, easy to understand , 8/10 is my standard score for a generally well done animation, 10/10 are usually for the anime's that have their own unique art styles that work, (it gives the studio that sort of recognizable style)

Sound : 10 / 10
(Original Japanese Dub) Good work done by the voice actors, the characters sound like they should,(as in the voice fits the look of the character).
The sound effects are nothing special but they work.
(May skim through the series again in the English Dub to rate it)

Characters : 7/10
The Main characters are mildly developed (personal opinion) there is still a lot of room for the viewers to get to know the characters better, The other characters that our main characters interact have their own back-story's  and the viewers will actually get to know them better then they know the main characters themselves,( really trying hard to not give any spoilers). 7/10 cause I feel more connected to the sub characters than the main. and would like to see more of them.

Enjoyment : 8/10
 I personally enjoyed this from the plot to how it was executed, looking forward to watching the second season. It's refreshing to see a sort of harem slice of life anime not be ecchi for once, Looking forward to watching the next season.

Overall :- 8 / 10
 Story was well executed wouldn't have it any other way wish they could have developed their main characters a little more,
Art style nothing new though works well, Sound doesn't need to be any better for the sort of anime it is,voices work well (Japanese Dub).
Characters we well designed left me wanting to see the sub characters get more screen time in the next season. Enjoyment had fun watching it, lack of ecchi scenes makes it more family friendly, 8/10 could be improved in some areas though is a great anime anyway.
