Alright, can I just say that I am HEAVILY disappointed by the 6.95 score given to this manga...that is all, moving on to the review.
I absolutely love romances between ghosts and humans. Why? Well, for starters, I just like weird romances...'normal' everyday romcoms get old after a while. Secondly, there's just something about seeing a character forced to live an unlife of solitude. No one to talk to, no one to hold, it's just super sad to think about. Then when you bring along a person that can hear them, that can see them, that can touch them...it just puts a smile on my face.
So
...
what sets Iwakutsuki Bukken no Yakuro-san apart from shows like Dusk Maiden of Amnesia? Well, for starters, less fanservice and more wholesome interactions. Less tear jerking backstories and more smile inducing moments. This is the one you read when you just want to be happy.
So what exactly is this manga about? To put it simply, Rei (the main guy) is obsessed with ghosts so much to the point that he moves into a haunted house/apartment just to meet one. To his absolute thrill he ends up running into the shy and awkward Yakuro san. She tries to scare Rei away by doing ghosty things to him, but he just sucks it all up. Yakuro, being as these are NOT normal reactions in the slightest, doesn't exactly know how to handle it.
After a while, Yakuro eventually gives up trying to kick Rei out after she finally accepts that it's pointless, and the adorableness of Yakuro commences. Seeing her slowly get more comfortable and open with Rei is the real cake of this series, and the thing that will make your heart flutter. The story of a shy ghost that doesn't want to talk to people...or does she?
Now I'm gonna be real with you, is this manga for everyone? No, not at all. If you want action, look elsewhere. If you want horror, maybe the first chapter you'd enjoy, but keep looking. Do you want scientifically accurate plot points?...well, fuck man, idk. Go watch Steins Gate or somethin. BUT, if you want just a wholesome read that contains cute interactions between a human and a ghost girl...then you've come to the right place.
Cons: It's short...waaaaay too dam short. I'm still hopin and prayin that they release a volume 2, so in order to do that I need yall to start hyping this manga up! I WANT MORE!!!
At the end of the day, Iwakutsuki Bukken no Yakuro san is by far a perfect manga all around, but it's the perfect manga for me. So I hope yall will give it a chance, because it is definitely worth it :D

I'm gonna do my best to review this manga with as little bias as possible...which may be difficult. So what is Sleepy Princess in a Demon Castle about you might ask? Welp...it's about a Sleepy Princess in a Demon Castle, what you mean? The name literally sums up the synopsis of this whole series. A Princess get's kidnapped by Demon's, and all she wants to do with her time is...find the most random and idiotic ways to help her get to sleep? Hm, interesting...seems like a synopsis like that would get pretty old after a while...heh, you'd think so anyway, but it doesn't. Let's dive
...
into this masterpiece of a manga shall we.
For starters, I'm not gonna beat around the bush here. This manga will not be for everyone. If you like comedy, parody, fantasy, and maybe a little furry action, then you'll absolutely love this series. If you're not a fan of any of those things...well, look elsewhere, because this manga doesn't really stray from that path, even after 100 chapters.
But what exactly is it about this series that makes it so appealing to me? How can a story that recycles the same plot over and over again be still so entertaining after 100 chapters? For starters, the characters. I absolutely love every single character in this series. They all have so much charm, that I'd be surprised if you found a character you didn't like. Heck, even the bad guys are hard to hate...what, with the way the Princess torments them. Are they realistic? No, not really. Like 99% of the characters, aside from the Princess, are demons, but...they REALLY do not act how you'd think demons would act. They're all so carefree and chill...hell, everything was fine until the princess attacked...no, that wasn't a reference, shut up. But even with that, they've all got so much personality. Not one of the characters felt stale to me. And even if they did, the Princess was quick to hop in and put some life into their step!
Dealing with the second thing that makes this story so great, is all of the various ways that the Princess finds to help her sleep...and there are A LOT...So no, to answer that question, that recycled plot really doesn't get old because the author manages to come up with a new and creative way for her to fall asleep every damn time. Are they all endearing and interesting? No, some are just plain stupid. But even the stupid one's are entertaining as heck to read just from the characters interactions alone.
Now for the last thing that made this manga so appealing...THE PRINCESS HERSELF!!! There's a lot that I can say about her character. She's arrogant, bossy, violent, one track minded, but MY GOSH is she still charming as all heck. She's one of those characters that you feel like you should hate, but you just can't XD
As for negatives...I honestly can't think of any. I'm really trying here too...I want to have some balance to this review, but gosh darnet, there just wasn't anything I disliked...The ONLY thing I could say is, the jokes do start to get a bit old after a good while. The author uses several jokes that get repeated multiple times throughout the series...personally, they still made me laugh, but I could see how that could get annoying.
Overall Score 10/10, and easily my favorite manga to date.

I hear alot of people refer to this anime as "Wasted Potential"........I say that's true in one sense, but I'm pretty sure people are getting the wrong idea by that.
I don't remember exactly how I heard about this anime, but after I read the premise, I was thoroughly intrigued. The one main thing that kept me at bay for a while was the poor art and animation...and, not gonna lie, throughout the show, it doesn't get much better either. Infact, I'd say the art and animation downright sucked in this show. But the thing that makes this show amazing deals with everything else.
One way I
...
liked to refer to it as, is a JK Rowling level story, made with a Hentai's production value........I have no idea why THAT was the comparison that came to my mind at the time, but I decided to roll with it.
In short, the story was one of the best aspects of this show. It takes a while to get going, but once it did, It sucked me in right away. I'm not gonna lie that the pacing could get a little wonky, and it felt super choppy at points, but all In all I'd say it held up nicely. The climax was well handled, and I actually didn't see it coming. The ending took a pretty intense turn and got...pretty difficult to follow along with, not gonna lie. However, that's not the shows fault, that's me being kinda dumb with all that technical stuff. I was able to understand the gist of it, and I honestly found it all fascinating. Everything came full circle, and I believed it.
The next best aspect of the show is definitely the characters. All of them were really interesting, and I cared about them. Whenever the characters were going through something, I believed their struggle and I sympathised with them. When one of the characters would die, It actually made me legitimately upset. Like, I'm pretty sure I cried about 5 times during this show...not something that happens often. As well, alot of the characters were given really good development. While, there are some characters I would of liked to have been explored more, I was satisfied with what I got. I even empathized with the antagonist at the end. I was sure I'd royally despise him throughout the show, but I actually believed his struggle and felt sorry for him.
One of my main issues with the show deal with what I said at the start. The art and animation...are not that good. I know it's an older anime, but I've seen better looking shows from the 90s. Which makes me upset that a story as good as this was given such poor animation. It deserved so much more than what it was given. I honestly hope they decide to remake this show someday, cause it definitely deserves it.
The only other real issue I had with the show were some plot points seemed to be left out or overlooked. I can't really go into detail of what they are cause that'd be spoilers, but you'll know them when you see them.
But now here's the one question I always want to know when watching an anime..........was the ending satisfying?..........and yes, I can happily say that the ending was indeed satisfying. It was bittersweet, and left me with a smile on my face.
Overall, If I was to give this show a ranking for just enjoyment alone, I'd give it a 9/10. However, I realize the amount of issues it did have so I'm going to give it a final score of 8/10. This show is definitely a diamond in the rough, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

If you're going to watch this show, my first advice to you, is to watch it with your brain turned off. If you go into this show analyzing it and looking for all the flaws, you better believe it's gonna have a lot of them. Why? BECAUSE IT'S A FREAKIN PARODY ANIME WITH A GUY SO OP HE CAN KILL ANY OPPONENT WITH JUST ONE PUNCH!!!! Do you really think this show is going to make sense? If you are the kinda person that enjoys analyzing all the shows you watch, chances are you won't like this show. But if you're the kinda person that
...
can sit back, turn your brain off, and enjoy a show for what it's worth. Than I think you'll love One Punch Man.
Anyway, despite all I said at the start, I'd honestly say the show made pretty good sense despite it's concept. The story was simple, but unique at the same time. Especially as far as anime is concerned. A Superhero organization that ranks their heroes.......sounds pretty familiar to something else over in the states.
Another thing I'd like to bring up. A character like Saitama, one that can kill any enemy with one punch...............you'd think that would actually make the show boring. Like there'd be no angst, because you just know that Saitama is going to come out on the top every time........but this show does it in such a way that it's just so entertaining to see. I was never bored for a second and I was constantly one the edge of my seat. So if you're one of the people that was avoiding this show due to that issue, believe me when I say that you won't be disappointed by the way they approached it. It was really well handled.
Con: The only major issue I had with this show is they replayed the same plot over and over. A city get's attacked by a monster. Heroes are falling one by one trying to fight said monster. And the whole time were just waiting for Saitama to get their and take them out. It was all done to build up the anticipation once Saitama got their, BUT i can see why they did that. I mean, if you have a hero that can take anyone out with one hit...........they gotta find someway to put people on the edge of their seat. I just wish they had changed it up. Do something a little different each time. I think they replayed that plot at least 4 times. And in a 12 episode show, that takes up a good portion of it. BUT once again, I can't deny that I loved every second of each of those plots.
Besides that, there's not much else I want to say. All the characters were really interesting and fun. The turmoils that this show has really got me choked up a few times. Not gonna lie. And the climax was FREAKIN AMAZING!!! I binge watched this show 3 days ago guys, so when I finally got to the end and I had to wait for the last episode.........I got pissed at myself for not having watched it when it was all out.
So overall, does this show have issues that could bring down it's score? Yes. Do I give a crap about those issues? HECK NO!!! Going back through and trying to find the issues would only ruin the amazing experience I had with the show, and I don't want to do that.
But anyway, the fact that I know it had issues at all is the only reason why I'm not giving it a 10/10. Instead, my final score with One Punch Man is a 9/10. And I'd recommend this show to literally EVERYONE!!! Heck, I'm probably gonna even buy the series. I MIGHT EVEN START READING ONE PUNCH MAN ONE!!! That's how much I loved it :D

When you look at this anime, your first though most likely is "What sets this anime apart from all the other's." I'm here to tell you what that is, and why you should watch this masterpiece of a show.
First of all, don't you hate those shows that try so hard to be something there not. Thankfully, Kawai complex isn't one of them. This show new exactly what it wanted to be and it did it in full swing.
The characters are all different in their own way, and the show just wouldn't have been the same if any one of them weren't there. They were
...
portrayed exactly how they were meant to be, and they never changed throughout the show.
The relationship's throughout the show were developed beautifully. Whether it be dealing with friendship, or romance. They were all handled amazingly. In my personal opinion, the relationship developed between Ritsu and Usa was probably the darn near cutest thing I have ever experienced in my life. I've seen close to every single romance anime ever made, but there relationship top's the charts for me.
The story is pretty basic and the plot...well I'm not really sure If there even is a plot. The show is basically about Usa learning more about Ritsu and here loner personality. He wants to help her, but he isn't really sure how.
However, don't think that made the show boring by any means. The process by which Usa learned more about Ritsu was done in such a real way, yet at the same time it was more touching and heartfelt than anything i have seen in a long time. Usa went to such extreme lengths to be there for Ritsu, yet he knew when to keep his distance when need be.
The animation is beautiful...need I say more. The use of colorful screentones was used quite heavily in this show. It gave it a more simplified look, Yet the realistic style of the character's balance that out. Each character stands out in their appearance as well as their personality.
All in all. Kawai complex is a top-notch RomCom anime that I would recommend to anyone. even the people that aren't into that genre. So stop reading this review and go watch it already. Oh and FYI, Ritsu is the cutest anime character ever. I'm sorry Taiga, I love you, but you have just been surpassed.

Here with my third review, this time for 'B Gata H Kei', and can I just say, If your reading this review than you will probably never get laid..............ANYWAY!!
If you are an ecchi, romance, comedy lover. Than look no further. This show will be in your top ten in no time
For me, I'm not the biggest fan of ecchi. So I was really hesitant to watch this anime. I mean, the premise of a girl wanting to have sex with 100 guys!! Come on!! However I can say I did not regret watching this show at all!!
The reason why I like this show so much
...
is not for it's characters, not for it's plot (perviest plot ever XD), not for it's art, no none of that stuff. The reason why I like this show so much is the same reason why I love Toradora so much, and that is the relationship between the two main characters Kosuda and Yamada.
This relationship that they have is the only one that has ever topped Ryuuji and Taiga for me. The way the story progresses, and how Yamada's feelings for Kosuda start to develop further than him being her sex toy. As cliché as it sounds, I liked it a lot.
(Spoiler here, you've been warned)
Also the point where Yamada pulls her hand away from Keiichi when he tried to kiss it, I was all Like Ohhhhhhhh dang, You just got shot down man!! It was totally unexpected, and not to mention my favorite part in the whole show. So even though it is cliché, it has some things that will really surprise you.
Story (8) I'm giving the story an 8, because though it is extremely perverted and just weird. It is also unique in it's own way. I can't think of another show who has done anything like this, can you? Even though she never actually does have sex with 100 guys, but not like that wasn't already obvious.
Characters (9) I really like a lot of the side characters. The only problem was we didn't get to learn about a lot of them like Daisuke, Miharu, Kazuki etc. But what are you gonna do in a 12 episode show. You wouldn't have time for the main premise if you focused to much on backgrounds, so I can see why it lacked for most part.
Art (8) As I've said before, the way I see it there are four kinds of anime art. There is simple and cute, simple and ugly, complex and beautiful, complex and overdone. Most anime fall under the simple and cute one, along with this anime. I really liked the art in the show, but for being a 2010 made I was expecting a little bit better. Though I can't complain, I have seen worse
Sound (8) Like I have also said before, I've never known how to really judge sound. I guess I should judge it, for this anime, being the emotion that was felt. Most of the time, the emotional parts in this show would be more awkward than anything. There wasn't really any moment that pulled on my heartstrings, but none the less I really liked it.
I can also judge the voice acting for sound as well. I watched the english dubbed version so...don't hate me. I really loved all of the voice actors. Brittney Karbowski is one of my favorite voice actresses, and I think she pulls off Yamada amazingly. I do really like Scott Freeman's voice, but being Kosuda I liked his voice even more. He really pulls off Kosuda well. Cherami Leigh to with Miharu, I really liked it
Enjoyment (10) For some reason, I'm not sure why, B Gata H Kei is one of those shows that I can watch over and over and never get bored. The only other show that has done that for me has been...of course...Toradora. I don't what it is about it, but It's humor and unexpected events along with a beautiful growing romance between two unlikely people just get me going every time. So If you are anything like me than you will love this show a lot.
Overall (9) I am giving this show a 9 because, though it's relationship was the best that I've ever seen (In my opinion) the other things that it lacked brings the score down. But evidently not much because a 9 is still really good. So what are you waiting for? Quit reading this boring review and go watch the show already!!

Basically this show is like a cleaner version of beck with all girls and more comedy. It centers around our ditsy main female character Yui. She is trying to decide what club to join in her school. All of the others that she's looked at weren't really her thing. They either required to much work, or were complex things that she couldn't understand.
As you can tell Yui is a really lazy girl. The only thing she works hard at is eating really, and of course guitar later on. Being this kind of girl, I was
...
surprised to see her voiced by Stephanie Sheh (I watched the dubbed). Mainly because a lot of the roles she has been in (that I've seen) have been quiet, and shy girls. Like Hinata from Naruto, or Orohime from Bleach. So seeing her voice a more outgoing character was a new experience. However, she pulled it off better than I thought she would so I was happy.
Yui then decides to join the “Light Music club” thinking that their name meant that they played light music. Because apparently she play this...clicking type instrument, which it's name I'm spacing on, back when she was younger. However after joining she finds that not to be the case.
Desperate for members, as well as a guitar player, the club is still one short after Tsumugi joins, they are ecstatic when Yui shows up. However Yui had planned to quit right away, so when the other three members all were showering her with gratitude and sweets. It made it really hard for Yui to quit. However, after confessing that that was her purpose in coming here. She does end up joining after the three tell her that they will help her learn guitar.
The whole show is basically about how the four grow as a band members and friends, along with gaining recognition at there school. There are hardships along the way, but they all manage to work there way through it. The comedy in this is also something that will have you rolling on the floor laughing at some points.
Plus, if you have seen my anime list. I've seen almost every romantic comedy ever made. So watching this show, as it doesn't have romance, was a tough choice. However I did, and I was not disappointed. This show is definitely in my top 10 now.
Cons of the show: These are the problems I have with K-On! First of all, my biggest problem was how quickly Yui learned the guitar. In one of the episodes she played a solo out of nowhere, completely throwing me off. I have played guitar for almost three years now, but I still could never play that solo that she played. Not to mention how Ui was able to play it when Yui was sick, like she had been playing for a long time. All I'm saying is the guitar is harder to learn than this show makes it out to be. I know. If you want a show that show's it more accurately than watch Beck.
My only other con is one that bothers me every episode, and that is Tsumugi's eyebrows....yea okay not really a con, but they still freak me out.
Story (9) Not to original, but It is played out really well none the less. About a band working together to make it big, along with everyone's problem's. I know I've mentioned Beck a lot in this, but that's because It's the only other show I've watched like this. It does follow Beck's storyline pretty close, except for the fact that Beck is looking for recognition in the world. K-On is looking for recognition in just there school pretty much, along with gaining more club members. If you like lighthearted comedy's that like to have fun with music, and not take it too seriously. Than K-On! Is better for you than Beck.
Characters (10) The characters in this is what make the show what it is. Each character is unique in their own way. Mio with her shyness, and her fear of just about everything. Ritsu with her crazy antics, and childish manner. Yui with her....ok Yui is a lot like Ritsu actually. Except for Yui is really lazy. Tsumugi with her awkward love for girl's interacting with another, and fascination with simple things. And Azusa (band member that comes later after seeing the club play live) with her desire to work the club harder at their music, along with her cute antics that are forced upon her by the other members, mainly Yui.
Though some characters can be pretty cliche, but honestly who cares. If you like it than why does it matter if it's already been done. After all, you can't just eat one potato chip out of the bag can you?...Did that make sense?...I think it did.
Sound (10) I've never really know how to judge sound by. Is it for the music that plays in the background? The emotion that is felt throughout the show? Or the voice actors, and sounds of objects in the show? Whatever it is I don't know, but I'm going to make sound the music in this, as It's a show about music.
Every song in this show is really catchy. Though, many of them have some pretty bizarre lyrics. But, since the songs aren't in English themselves, I'm ok with that. My favorite song is definitely the ending song for the first season. I would watch it every episode, It never got old for me.
Animation/Art (8): The way I see it is there are four kind's of animation. There is simple and cute, simple and ugly, complex and beautiful, and complex and overdone. This show is of course the simple and cute one. It's not amazing animation, but it's a really cute one. Nothing unique about it, but I still really like it. Another similar animation that comes to mind when I think about it is “Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions.” Though Chunibyou is more closer to the complex and beautiful, they are very similar in style.
Enjoyment (10): I freaking enjoy this anime more than eating Pocky while playing Soul Calibur. It's definitely something that I would recommend to anyone who likes the lighthearted show's with lots of comedy. Even if your not a music fan, I'm sure that you will still enjoy this show. I'm a music guy though, so that's why I love it so much.
Overall (10) Technically it get's a 9.4/10 which rounds down to a 9, but I just think it deserves a 10. Judge me if you will, but that's what I say.

Toradora....where do i begin. This show is easily the best anime show I've seen in a long time, and that's saying something. Everything about it is everything i like in a good romance. The story begins with Ryuuji and Taiga first meeting. let me explain them first.
Taiga is a rough and tuff girl who wont take and crap from anybody, she is however small so this being the fact she is called the palmtop tiger, it is also later shown that her agressiveness is due to a rough childhood.
...
Ryuuji on the other hand is quite a soft, though everyone is afraid of him because he resembles his dad (who I think he was supposed to be like a realy bag guy, they didn't go much in depth in that area) he is very nice, and unlike Taiga is actually kind of a pushover. Anyway back to what i was saying
Taiga is caught by Ryuuji trying to put a love letter to kitamura in his bag, but ends up putting it in Ryuuji's bag. Ryuuji finds it and is tempted to read it, but he resists. Then Taiga rages in and attacks Ryuuji with a wooden sword. Once things have calmed down Ryuuji tells Taiga about the poems and what not he writes for Minorin. seeing that they each have simialar goals, and the fact that their love interest is the other best friend. They decide to work together and help each other in getting that person. However it is not very smooth sailing
Taiga is very timid around kitamura so she never can really push herself to do anything that Ryuuji plans out for her. she can barely say a word to him at the beginning of the show but towards the end she is more open with him. This I think is due to the fact that she is realising that she likes Ryuuji instead, this however doesn't happen till near the end.
Ryuuji is not near as timid around Minorin as Taiga is with kitamura, but he still mumbles his words now and then. He as well has issues with pushing himself to do what Taiga plans out for him. Toward the very end it is revealed that Minorin actually does like Ryuuji.
Taiga and Ryuuji spend alot of time together because of the fact that Taiga lives alone. Ryuuji cooks for her just about every night. Because of this Ryuuji's mother considers Taiga part of the family.
Later on as Taiga and Ryuuji spend more time together, (though they never say till the very end) they end up having feelings for each other. It does take a while for them to realise it, so sit tight and keep watching. because it is worth it.
one of the best traits about Toradora is it's suspense. I don't know how they were able to put so much suspense in a drama/romance but they did. For me this show left me wondering after every episode. It made me think and want to know what was in the next episode. I had to seriously force myself away from the computer in order to stop watching it. Because after every episode you WILL want to know what happens next!!! I gaurantee it.
Another thing about Toradora. I know in retrospect it is pretty obvious that Taiga and Ryuuji will be together, and I thought that would ruin it for me...but...it really didn't. Because though it may be obvious, it doesn't really seem sensible. It doesn't seem like they'll end up together at the beginning even though you know they will. It's crazy how this show does it but it does it excellently.
I would recommend this show to anyone who likes drama/romance cause this show does both of those PERFECTLY!! and i don't say that lightly. The background's on the character and the storyline would have made the show good even if there was no romance. I would highly recommend this anime.
Story (8) - I am giving this story an 8. Because though it did have interest, and left you wanting to know what happened. It is lacking in resolve. considering Taiga's family that is. At the end of the show Taiga's family is still mad at her for leaving, and they don't really resolve that. Though she does end up going back for a year.
Art (9) - I give this show a high 9 on art. The design of the character's wasn't my favorite design, but the show still made it work out. The art was masterful in my opinion. The work of a genius.
Sound (10) - I am giving the sound a 10 for various reasons. The emotion in this show could be felt throughout every episode. It was like you could almost feel the person's pain. even when the side character had a moment it was great. The sound is really Toradora's shining moment.
Character (9) - I am giving character's a 9. This is the kind of show that you will definitely like all of the characters. Even if you didn't like a character from the start (for me it was Minorin) you will like them towards the end. The backgrounds on all of them are all unique and all interesting. No one's background in this show is boring.
Enjoyment (10) - I have never watched a show that I have enjoyed more than Toradora. As i said before it will leave you in suspense after every episode. it will be 4 am in the morning and you will be finishing episode 17. It will end and you will lie their with your mouth open. Then you will scream because you want to go to bed but you don't want to stop watching it (WARNING!! if you don't like staying up really late than i would sudgest not watching Toradora at night.)
Overall (10) - as for the overall it obviously get's a 10. Which are well earned points. This story will not dissappoint you if you like drama/romance that leave you suspenseful and wondering. Not to mention really excited at some points. P.S. Ryuuji and Taiga do kiss at the last episode. =)

I was really surprised when I had started watching this, I had assumed it would be a big letdown but when It started I actually liked it. The only downfall was towards the end. The show started moving in a different direction away from the plotline of the game and ended at a climax that made you wanna rip your hair out (but hey that's Japan for you).
I first played the game for the PSP before watching it so I expected it to follow that plot line pretty close, and it did for about half of the series. I think the reason they did change
...
the series half way through was because they knew they couldn't fit the original plotline into 26 episodes and they didn't want to make a second season.
If I remember correctly, the point at which the show started moving away from the game was when the boat holding the lacuer hope was attacked and sank, washing the people on a different continent (don't remember name). At that point they went straight to the sorcery globe, totally removing the transport to energy nede. Along with that the ten wise men were never mentioned or showed up in the series. The only thing that may have been the first showing of the ten wise men was when Rena and Claude were inside the Sorcery globe and they were stopped by a screen that showed up showing what looked like 10 people i think, one being a Nedian. He told Rena she was one of them and ofcourse, she started crying (figures). But I won't ruin the show for you if you haven't watched it. Just know the ending will leave you pissed off, atleast it did me.

I liked this OVA alot better than the Haru one. The only issues I have with it are the fan service with Asuna is kinda over the top, but besides that it's pretty decent, and can I just say that Nodoka looks so CUTE in her outfit in this.
This OVA has alot of fan service as I said before. Besides Asuna they have it a little for Nodoka as well, as well as most of the girls there (as for the fact there all wearing swimsuits)
