Click to show or hide The Mousekewitzes are a Russian-Jewish family of mice that live in Shostka, Russia in the year 1885. They decide to immigrate to America after the Cossack's cruel cats start to rampage around Shostka. As the family travels aboard the boat one fateful night, a storm kicks up and their youngest and only son, Fievel, gets separated from them. Now Fievel must find his family while making new and interesting friends and learn what it means to be in the USA. My Thoughts: It is a really cute show and I love this one a lot. It makes me smile and think of all the family's that did come over from Europe including some of my own family members. I may not be old enough to remember, but I have heard many stories about it. As a child, this was one of my favorite shows, the beautiful animation and voice acting making me feel like I was in the show and even though the songs were not all that well, I remember one or two from it that have always stuck in my head.

After a meteorite shower destroys their home, he makes his way to the sanctuary and learns his bloodline. My Thoughts: It's actually a rather cute show. Somewhat sad in the beginning but somehow unlikely. I don't think Lemurs were in the same age as the type of dinosaur he is.

Crysta believes that humans still lived nearby though everyone else including her mother figure and mentor, Magi Lune, says that humans became extinct or fled from Hexxus, the spirit of destruction and all that is toxic to nature. Magi sealed him away in a very large tree but humans who were logging the forest cuts it down and Hexxus escapes. On the other note, Crysta finds a human and frightened that he had seen her and captured her, shrinks him by accident and to help him, she must go back to Magi to turn him back. My Thoughts: I have loved this story since I was a little child. The story is fun and lively with Crysta trying to show that the land does have a life and that trees and plants have feelings. This movie was made to fight deforestation and to save the rain forests that we are losing. The main character reminds me a lot of Tinkerbell. Link to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FernGully:_The_Last_Rainforest FernGully 2 - The Magical Rescue (1998) Fantasy, Key Words: Fairies, Rain Forest, Animals, Magic, Time: 72 minutes (1 hour 12 minutes) Crysta and Pip are showing three baby animals their control over nature when Batty Koda arrives in a panic, informing them of two poachers that are right behind him. As they try to escape, The poachers capture the babies and take them away and Pip and the beetle boys go off to rescue them.

Click to show or hide Happily Never After 2: Snow White Another Bite @ the Apple High Fantasy, Key Words: Fables, Time: 75 minutes (1 hour 15 minutes) Snow White is a sweet young girl till her mother died. As she grew, she became a rebel and only worried about what she looks like and how popular she is. Her father, fed up with how she is acting, looks to find a new wife that will help Snow White into womenhood but what he got was a women that was rather dark. Can Snow White save the day or will she be destroyed by her own popularity? My Thoughts: I like the story but the Animation is a little strange. The characters look a bit to stiff to be human. I think this was done when 3D is rather new to the animation world. The bones look strange and the colors are a bit to bright. Everything seems to have a glow around them and its harsh on my eyes. I think the music is kind of fun and the voice acting is rather nice though. I like it but I think they should maybe redo it or clean it up a bit more since it looks more like a beta then a finished work.

Sio takes the headband and taunts Afro to come after here if he dares after digging up his father's remains. She promises that she will resurrect his father and torture him for the millions of people Afro has killed. In order to face her, he must find his No.2 headband and go after her, challenging her to a match. My Thoughts: Very Bloody and gory. The artwork is rather hard and jagged. I didn't like it much being a fan of smooth faces and gentle looks. It is like all different versions of 'black' voices are used and I don't mean to be racist in this. Its what we normally hear. There is the Jamaican, the hood lingo, and so on. The only one that sounds like he is the stiff samurai is Afro. This show reminds me of Samurai Champloo a bit in how it has hip hop music and kick ass sounds. Link to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro_Samurai_Resurrection

Barry B. Benson just graduated and had worked his way into Honex Industries, the industries for making honey. One of his only problems was that once his job was picked, it would never change. He would never be able to move up the ladder and become better. As he decides to go out into the world to take a look around but after having some troubles with Humans, he feels he isn't ready. On the way home, he gets stuck in the rain and ends up in a women's apartment where he meets the girl of his dreams. Vanessa Bloome is a beautiful florets that saved his life from her boyfriend and soon he speaks with her. Now he has a problem. It is against the rules to see a human let alone talk with one. What can a bee do? My Thoughts: The animation is really nice and I the voices work perfectly with the characters. It's one of the most original one that I have seen for a while.

She grew up in a circus with a lot of other miss fits and wished to one day meet another like her. Tom Thumb was a young boy that also was about 6 inches tall and grew up with a kind, normal sized man to care for him. He did every day things and helped out around the place but he longed to see someone of his own size. When the two met, it was a godsend till the Mole King tried to force Thumbelina to be his wife. Can the two get away and find a home in this large world? My Thoughts: So cute, though the artwork feels much like Disney style. The voices are a little strange and the artwork is somewhat odd. The music is ok, I like the instrumentals but the singing gets annoying.

Creator angelsinthewindow 1419 cr points Send Message: 23 / F / Canby, Or USA Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 12/25/11, edited 2/29/12 Don Bluth's Thumbelina (1994) High Fantasy, Romance, Drama, Key Words: Little people, fairies, singing, Time: 86 minutes ( 1 hour 26 minutes) Jaquimo the Sparrow is a lover of romantic and tragic romances in Paris, France. One of his favorite, is the story of Thumbelina. Long ago, a old women longed to have a child of her own until a good witch gave her some barley to plant. When the old women did, she was surprised to find a flower growing and a small girl stepped out of the flower, no bigger then her thumb. She was named Thumbelina. As she tried to help her mother with the chores, Thumbelina couldn't help but wonder if there was anyone her size. She had heard the stories of Fairies that were but they had wings and she didn't. She finally meets a fairy one night named Prince Cornelius. The two become good friends and soon fall in love but as he shows her the outside world, a toad named Grundel sees her and wishes for her to be his wife. The mother of Grundel kidnaps her for their singing group and for Grundel. Will Thumbelina be able to get back to her love? My Thoughts: It seems every story about that has Thumbelina in it seems to always talk about her finding love and then being taken to marry some other creature only to be rescued by her lover. The first one I watched was a mole, now its a toad, what will be next? It seems everyone has a idea of the story of Thumbelina. The Animation and the singing remind me much more of Disney then The Adventures of Tom Thumb and Thumbelina especially when they get into the singing. This one has more catchy songs and not as bad voice acting as the other as well. The characters are really beautiful, looking much more proportional then some other's I watched, except for Mrs. Toad who has way to long legs and can stand up with them like a women in high heels. Still don't get the frogs in this one, more like Moe, Curly, and Larry. Why the characters have such strange ascents also is beyond me. You start with Jaquimo who is a French ascent (Beautifully done I think), then we have The crazy toad family that sounds like a mixture of Spanish and French, and then Thumbelina and her Mother, even the fairies, have a old English ascent making me want to yell out 'choose a country already!' But still, this one is rather well done.

Creator angelsinthewindow 1419 cr points Send Message: 23 / F / Canby, Or USA Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 12/26/11, edited 2/20/12 Princess and the Goblin (1991), Fantasy, Key Words: Hungarian Folklore, Time: 82 minutes (1 hour 22 minutes) Princess Irene was the love of the country and her father. One day, the King left, leaving his daughter in the hands of her nanny but as her nanny took a nap, Princess Irene got lost in the forest, chased by some strange creatures. A young boy named Curdie found her and protected her with the sound of music. The next day, she finds a little magic door and sees her grandmother. On the other side of the kingdom, Curdie hears of the goblins plans to take over the sun people, those that live above ground. My Thoughts: The artwork is alright though a lot of the people look much troll like themselves including Irene. It’s interesting but its not my cup of tea. The art style is a little odd though the backgrounds are really pretty. The Voice acting is also a little strange. I don't like the personality of the Princess. She is just way too stupid acting and much too young. It is a Hungarian story so a lot of it seems hard to understand being from America.

Creator angelsinthewindow 1419 cr points Send Message: 23 / F / Canby, Or USA Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 12/26/11, edited 2/29/12 Sea Prince and the Fire Child (1981) Shiriusu no Densetsu The Legend of Sirius High Fantasy, Romance-Drama, Key Words: Shakespeare, Time: 108 minutes (1 hour 48 minutes) Long ago, Glacus, the god of Water, and Themis, the goddess of Fire, lived together in peace but the Lord of Winds, Algorac, was jealous of there love and turned them against one another. Glacus was mad, and tried to kill Themis from the face of the earth but Themis gathered her children and left her home, protecting the flames of peace from the storm. After, within the sea, a child was born of Glacus, a sweet prince named Sirius. While swimming and fighting a jellyfish, he ends up going into the forbidden zone, a place most dark and dangerous. While there, a blue light catches his eye and he follows it till he finds a beautiful girl named Malta, a child of Themis and protector of the flame. There first meeting, how ever short made both of them unable to stop thinking of the other. My Thoughts: The artwork is beautiful, the colors are so bright. I feel that this is close to Studio Ghibli quality. and the story is so cute. It is really a Romeo and Juliet story line. The voices are interesting, though I was only able to hear the English dub. Because of that, the sink was made strange and hard to understand. It's a little strange that the Fire princess looks more like she is from the water and the water prince looks like he's more like a fire child with his colors. The fish look really strange, fun and puggy. There is also a little bit of a romance with Malta and her little friend.

She always has adventures with her friend, Vink, a rather careful dolphin. She dreams of the day she goes to the surface and meet her prince even though it is against her fathers wishes. The evil witch Cassandra plans on manipulating her into getting what she wants. She sends her up to the surface to find the prince and fall in love but her intentions will end up hurting her. My Thoughts: It’s ok though the animation feels somewhat low budget. The Characters seem out of proportion. Lena has a large head but small body, the prince seems to long bodied, and some characters seem out of sorts. I think I like the Disney version better then this one, it’s a little too childish to me. Some of the voices seemed to clash with the ideas that I got from the character, and even the relationships of Lena and her sisters was a little bothering. In the story from what I remember, the little mermaid wasn’t supposed to have that close of a relationship with her sisters.

Creator angelsinthewindow 1419 cr points Send Message: 23 / F / Canby, Or USA Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 12/26/11, edited 2/29/12 Barbie in the Nutcracker (2001) High Fantasy, Romantic-Drama, Key Words: Ballet, Folklore, Christmas, Product Placement, CGI, Time: 78 minutes (1 hour 18 Minutes) Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide Barbie and her sister Kelly are practicing Ballet but Kelly is having trouble with a move and is scared to go on stage. Barbie sits her down and starts to tell her the story to cheer her up. Clara and her younger brother live at their Grandfather Drosselmeyer's house and one Christmas eve; Aunt Elizabeth came to visit bringing gifts. She gives Clara the nutcracker and tells her inside him lies the heart of a prince. Her younger brother takes the nutcracker to play with it and breaks the arm which Clara fixes. Soon, she falls asleep in front of the Christmas tree and wakes to find the Nutcracker fighting with the Mouse King and his army. When she tries to help, the mouse King shrinks her and then retreats. The Nutcracker tells Clara he is a prince and was sent to find the Sugarplum Princess, the only one that can stop the Mouse King. Clara goes with him into the world of Christmas and magic to help him. My Thoughts: Ok.... let’s talk about story line. I know that the main story is an old one and I have no problems with that but it seems every time Kelly has some problem, Barbie has an answer for her. It makes Barbie to perfect and unrealistic. I like the little fairies in the first part, they look better then the small fairies in 'Mariposa' since they look like real children. I noticed a lot of the textures are perfect like nothing is wrong with them. The skin Textures look very flat and plastic, making them unbelievable. The Characters feel to stiff, I think they were making them more like Barbie then should be in a movie. Some of the textures feel like stickers a bit in this too. Now it is a pretty show and if you’re into this stuff, it would be good to see but I'm not saying it’s fully the best.

One day, she found a secret room and found items from her past that confused her. She also finds a tunnel that leads outside the wall. Can Rapunzel learn about her past and keep true to herself? My Thoughts: This seemed like one of the first ones they did but the hair looks better then the others. Her dress also looks a bit better as well as lighting. I am not sure what happen to kill the wonderful artwork they had before. The textures do seem a bit off though, and I don't care for her animal friends though, the dragons look rather flat and the rabbit looks odd and to fat.

Click to show or hide Barbie is talking with her sister Kelly about the overnight camping trip that Kelly is nervous about being. Barbie tells her of the story of Odette, a baker who lived with her family in a village. She was a wonderful dancer but felt that she was not good enough to go to the dances. One day, she sees a unicorn being chased by the villagers and tries to help her get away by following her into the enchanted forest. When she uses a jewel to cut the rope, the Enchanted Queen she tells the tale of her cousin, Rothbart. It turns out that he will destroy the forest because she was given the power of the forest instead of him. Not wanting to be part of it, she refuses. Rothbart comes and corners Odette in the forest as she is going home with his daughter, Odeal. He turns Odette into a swan much to her dismay. The queen gives Odette a crown with the crystal to protect her. The Queen also could only let Odette turn back into a human during the night. Can Odette turn back into a girl? My Thoughts: UG! If I have to hear one more thing about Barbie using a story to help Kelly.... but I digress. The Animation is rather strangely, rather stiff and the arms bend in a way that really shouldn't sometimes. The Unicorn also has some problems with how its legs move. The Textures are plain and the trees don't look right at all. The elves are so cute but I was thinking they wouldn't look like children and look more adult only miniature. Also, its strange that they still think of the world as a cube and not round. Link to Wikipedia: http://barbie-movies.wikia.com/wiki/Barbie_of_Swan_Lake Other Reviews: Screenshots: Spoiler Alert!

The poor pauper didn't have any money and soon fell into having to work for a strict woman in order to survive. Mean while, the advisor to the queen is making plans to marry the princess and take the thrown for his own. And then the two girls meet. My Thoughts:The Animation again is pretty good. Though the cloth is strange. Again they used nurbs for hair and the men have just been placed at random. Voices are interesting and I like the voice they gave the two cats and the cat that can bark is rather strange in itself. All in all, it is rather cute and fun.

Can Annika save the kingdom? My Thoughts: It's much better then the ones before, the characters are better built and the Pegasus is pretty and can walk normally. I like this one actually, most of the bumps look good and the textures are a lot nicer too. The characters personalities are pretty cool, better then the others. They are much more human then the other stories. Even the clothing are done well.

I and here is well the designs hit rock bottom it seems. I like the change for the hair though. NO NURBS! They bumped out the bump way to much and then did cartoon shading for everything. It's so bad! They are just way to preppy for all girls in high school.

One problem though, Rowena had her own plans. She intends to kill the king and get rid of the girls so that she may be queen. Can Genevieve save the kingdom or will Rowena win? My Thoughts: It's actually really cute and the animation is alright though they use nurbs for the hair.... (not really the best type). Sorry for my animation lingo if you don't understand. I like the textures but like so many, I feel that the bump is rather badly done. The voices are ok, they match perfectly with the girls. The men feel like they are thrown in there just to have someone there for effect. The monkey looks weird. I like the small comedy touches that are created by Rowena's right hand man. Another thing I don't like is that almost all of them are the same height, and the colors of there hair are to different.

Him and his friend get trapped by crocodiles until she talks with the crocs to stop them. She talks with the prince and he asks for her to come with him to his kingdom. She feels torn between the two but decides to go with him and take her friends with to go on her adventures. My Thoughts: It feels like a Tarzan story with a women being the main character. The voices are pretty cute and the art is like Repunzel in that they feel ok. The designs are somewhat nice but again, the women are more detailed then the men. The land needs adjustments with the texture but the bump is well done on most of them. Why is it that again, the prince has three younger sisters?

They do the best they can to save her but there home was burnt down in the end. Turned out Melody had a key to the Diamond Castle, and the two decided to help her stop the evil Lydia, a muse that turned against the others. Can they keep there friendship on this difficult journey? My Thoughts: If its not one girl, its another. Again with the story that Barbie knows to help one of the younger girls cope. Can't we at least have Teresa the story teller instead? I mean, come on... The Animation has gotten a lot better though, The nurbs hair isn't as bad as most of them though what the hell is wrong with Stacie's hair? It looks like it was created into a stiff twist. The bumps are also better, I can actually see the bump on the stones. The music is really good though, better then the others.

In a beautiful field held the world of the Twillerbees. Twillerbees are rather small people who had a special power to make plants grow faster. The Twillerbees were very timid and would hide from humans, that is, all but one. Thumbelina was the bravest of them all. Thumbelina created wings for her and her friends to fly over the flowers where the Twillerbees were born. One day, human's come to the home and take Thumbelina and two of her friends to the world of humans. My Thoughts: They are ok.... but the Twillerbees are really big headed. Some of the trucks don't seem to have drivers. Again, whats with Barbie knowing a story for every thing? The voices are ok, but the design of the cars and stuff look strange. The colors and bump look nice though.

The only problem is that it looks a little to stiff. The whole hotel they are at is amazing. The music is rather catchy and nice. This one seems to be a newer video. The characters arn't even that stiff too. And what's with Barbie trying to be perfect? She keeps promising threw out the show stuff she couldn't keep.

He is constantly seen as his Dad's son so when he finds the girl of his life, Roxanne, he distances farther from his father then he already was. In order to win Roxanne's heart, he recreates a concert dressed as the pop singer Powerline during Principal Mazur's speech. Mazur tells Goofy that if he doesn't get Max's act together, it may result in facing capital punishment later. Fearing for Max's life (and taking Mazur's example to heart) he plans for him and Max to go on a fishing trip against Max's wishes. Sadly, this breaks the plans that Max and Roxanne made to go to a party together but Max makes up a lie that he and his father would be dancing on stage at the real Powerline concert. Can Max save himself from the lie he put himself into and will he and his dad ever get along? My Thoughts: I actually liked this. The artwork is pretty flawless and it flows nicely. the voices are exactly like the old ones I used to hear a long time ago for them and done expertly. Goofy's personality is really well done and plays off nicely to Max. Max is a typical teen who doesn't want to be around his parents because he doesn't think he is any cool. I was so much like Max when I was his age, even if I'm a girl, and never wanted to go on trips with my folks. I was to cool for them and just wanted to be on my own. This show has a surprising end to it, though I'm not going to say. Link to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Goofy_Movie An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000) Action-Adventure, Romance, Comedy, Key Words: Slice of Life, Time: 76 minutes (1 hour 16 minutes) Max is off to collage, and exited for his first time away from home. No bed times, no one to tell him to pick up after himself, no one to tell him what to eat, where to go, and how to act. And most importantly, no goofy dad… or so he thought. When Goofy ends up getting fired and looks for another job, he finds that in order to get one he must complete one more year of collage himself. He decides what better place then to be with his son at the same collage. Lets just say, this school year is going to be one hell of a roller coaster.

Case Closed Movie 1 - The Time Bombed Skyscraper (1997) Mystery, Urban Fantasy, Action-Adventure, Suspense, Key Words: Crimes, Puzzle Games, Bombs, Licensed American Publisher: Time: 94 minutes (1 hour and 34 minutes) Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide Jimmy has another mystery on his hands. While sorting mail for his family, he found a letter inviting him to a party at Leo Joel’s house, a famous architect. He sends Rachel and her father with him as a child. Then after, strange man has stolen a large amount of C4 and is threatening to place bombs all around town. He says small amounts of clues but never gives him the full information. Sadly, he got hurt at one of the bomb areas and was placed into the hospital. Can Jimmy figure out what is happening and stop this mad man before its to late, even without being able to be there? My Thoughts: The artwork is really good, the same as the actual episodes. The voice actors are also, both in English and Japanese. I feel that they both capture the right feeling of the show in high class and sometimes rather witty. That leaves the story to talk about. The story actually is really good, with more twists and turns in the plot then meets the eye. It’s hard to talk about because if I did, then things would be spoiled. If you keep watching, there is a strong romance at the end though I am not going to tell you what characters or where and what, but it’s a really good ending. This is one that you just have to see because someone special actually confesses, and its not who you think! The music is wonderful, pretty two tapping both in English and Japanese. At the end of the show, you need to watch to the end of the credits by the way, or you will miss something if you do.

Click to show or hide Rachel Moore dreams of her mother getting shot and threats about it the whole day. In another part of town, Joe Murakami who was once a former dealer is being released from Beika Prison. The man has a grudge against Richard Moore. About a week later, people close to Richard are getting attacked with strange paper mache items. First, Inspector Megure with a crossbow, found with a mache knife. Then, his ex-wife Eva Kadan receives a box of chocolates that are poisoned. With them, a mache flower. It keeps happening until someone actually dies. Is it the mysterious Joe Murakami getting back at Richard for throwing him in prison? My Thoughts: It’s really good, keeping up its wonderful feelings from both the anime and the first movie. It seems Rachel’s feelings seem to get even deeper as the story goes on. The story is well done, again keeping the feeling of suspense. Unfortunately, it’s hard to follow this one because if you have no idea how to read Japanese. The people are being killed with names that go with their Japanese names and how they write. In the English, they change the reasons into buildings, siblings, ages, and ratings in sports like that. Some of the deductions are a little out there in my mind but of course, I was trying to make my own conclusions with it. It’s still fun to watch him figure out who it is and what is going on but one of the sad parts is that I can’t always see what’s going on. It’s hard to keep up with everything that was going on.

Click to show or hide Case Closed Movie 3 - The Last Wizard of the Century (1999) Mystery, Urban Fantasy, Action-Adventure, Suspense, Key Words: Crimes, Puzzle Games, Licensed American Publisher: Time: 95 minutes (1 hour and 35 minutes) Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide Phantom Thief Kid is the biggest thief in the century and when Amy first meets him, he turns out to be a very charming person as well. He always leaves messages with clues as to where he is going to hit next; but no one has ever found him out. Turns out, his next hit is going to be the Fabergé egg that used to belong to Russia’s Nicholas II and was to be displayed at the Suzuki Modern Art Museum in Osaka but it seems someone else is interested in the egg as well. When the kid is shot and falls into the sea, people believed that he was dead but no one found his body. It seemed to open up something other then just a theft. My Thoughts: Trust me, you will want to watch some of the TV shows up to when a girl named Vi Graythorn (Or in Japanese, Ai Haibara) comes in. It’s the episode called ‘The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case.’ If you don’t, you may be confused who she is. Now the show itself is rather nice, though the animation is a little blurred a bit. The animation may be the same as the other ones before of it, but it’s still a vintage style of artwork. It’s great as a cell drawn animation but to the style of today, it’s a little hard to watch. I heard they cleaned it up a bit in some newer versions of the DVDs but still. A lot of things are really done well, including some of the pretty details. Some things sadly are left out though, when things go from the background to the front ground, some details are rather destroyed. Vi is a really interesting person, rather harsh on Jimmy but seems to be a good friend none the less. Characters have kept there own strange characteristics and their personalities including their voices. A lot of clues are very hard to figure out so keep a lot of ears open for it.

Click to show or hide Case Closed Movie 4 - Captured in Her Eyes (2000) Mystery, Urban Fantasy, Action-Adventure, Suspense, Key Words: Crimes, Puzzle Games, Licensed American Publisher: Time: 95 minutes (1 hour and 35 minutes) Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide As the Junior Detective League walks home, they witness a detective being murdered by an unknown man. Turns out a lot of detective have been killed in the area. It seems like who ever is the killer is close to the police and when the killer kills in front of Rachel, Jimmy and the others are forced into the story. Rachel loses her memory from the attack and the shock of the killing. She doesn’t even remember Jimmy even though she can do every day things. My Thoughts:The art style is exactly the same as the others, vintage best. The same voices for the characters as the ones before and the Anime. There really isn’t much more I can say about the characters and the movies that haven’t been done already. Now in the fact of the story line, it has a rather good suspense in it, and doesn’t feel like the same story line as a lot of other shows. When Rachel loses her memory, that adds to a lot of the mystery and suspense.

Click to show or hide Case Closed Movie 5 - Countdown to Heaven (2001) Mystery, Urban Fantasy, Action-Adventure, Suspense, Key Words: Crimes, Puzzle Games, Licensed American Publisher: Time: 95 minutes (1 hour and 35 minutes) Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide During a camping trip, Shiho Miyano calls Akemi Miyano’s flat and leaves a message about where she was going to be with Jimmy. Somehow, Gin and Vodka get a hold of the message and plan to end both Shiho and Jimmy’s life at the new Two Skyscrapers in Tokyo. After the viewing of the towers, the builder, Ohki Iwamatsu, was killed in his apartment leaving a sake cup broken in two at the murder scene. My Thoughts:It’s a little better animation then the first 4, even though I believe it still was cell shading. The story seems always to get more and more complicated as the stories kept going. The first 4, it was a bit easier to learn who it was and I could figure it out a little, but as this one keeps going on, I have to keep changing who it was the killer is. Shiho is really interesting as well, making me feel like I need to watch her every move. It makes me wonder how a lot about what side he was.
