Currently Watching: One Punch Man Photo Credit: Clement Soh I know what you are thinking, that’s not his usual kind of anime! And honestly you are correct! I only started watching it because my friend was over and wanted to watch it. The art didn’t initially appeal to me and the synopsis I read made it seem boring. Netflix really does need to get better synopsis writers. As you know, I typically watch Slice of Life Anime and Sword Art Online. However, while One Punch Man has a lot of action, I have nothing against action in Anime. I just usually don’t like the art or characters in Anime that are typically action-packed, but what sets One Punch Man apart is its humor. The humor is what makes this show golden. The Anime is centered on a super hero named Saitama who can defeat every opponent with just one punch! That’s stretching it a little because some of his later opponents take a few more punches, but you get the idea. Along the way he gains a disciple and becomes a...

Here are some of the Slice of Life Anime I have watched and enjoyed in no particular order! ReLife Ready to take a second chance in life? A failure in life is given the opportunity to re-live a year of high school to gain the confidence he lost that prevents him from succeeding in life. He gladly accepts and rehabilitates, making new friends, and having adventures along the way. Usagi Drop This is a heartwarming tale of a single man taking in his young female relative who has lost her parent and raising her. Their relationships is a mix of father and daughter and brother and sister. Seeing the progression of their bond is sweet. However, do not read the manga cause it gets really weird after the anime storyline ends. It will ruin Usagi Drop for you if you read the rest of the story. Hanamaru Kindergarten ULTIMATE CUTENESS. That is how you can describe Hanamaru Kindergarten. It is the story of a new kindergarten teacher, who has one of his students madly in...

Your Name By CoMix Wave Films                Your Name (2016) is one of my favorite anime of all time! Seriously. I saw it twice while in theaters. Why am I writing about it now? Well that’s because it will be released on DVD and Blu-ray in the United States on November 7, 2017! In anticipation of that I have decided to tell you why I love it and why I think you should rent or buy it when it comes out. For those of you who might ask, why don’t you already have it? Well I did order the Japanese version from Japan, but Amazon somehow wasn’t able to acquire it for me… despite the fact I pre-ordered it a few months in advance. *sigh*Amazon, you have failed me for the last time (force choke). Synopsis Anyway, this anime’s genre is hard to explain, it is essentially a dramatic romantic comedy. I know on the surface that doesn’t make much sense, but somehow the director, Makoto Shinkai, is able to make it work. This film has two main prota...

My Current Top 10 Favorite Anime Songs! Photo Credit: Bleach Zzone I have decided to continue with the Anime theme going on! Mostly because I was listening to a lot of anime songs this past week commuting to and from my workplace. I will admit, I have only recently gotten into anime. By recent I mean within the past year (12 months). Hence my list will be fairly small and constricted by the anime I have watched. But, without further ado, here is my list of favorite Anime songs! I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. 1. Crossing Field - Lisa I just really love this song. Love the refrain and the instrumentals and LOVEEEE Lisa's voice. No deep analysis, just love it.  2.Sparkle - RADWIMPS The instrumentals in this song are amazing! Radwimps really know how to create a tone and mood for a song, and the title really reflects what the song is about. You get a feeling of a sparkle, the night sky, and space.  3. Gamers! - 天道花憐（金元寿子）、星ノ守千秋（石見舞菜香）、亜玖璃...

Gamers! Greetings and welcome to my new segment named Currently Watching. Today I’m going to introduce an anime i’m currently watching. That anime is Gamers! It was originally a Japanese light novel series. It has been adapted to a 12 episode anime which is still currently airing. It began on July 13, 2017. A new episode is released every Friday and can be found on CrunchyRoll and KissAnime. Synopsis This is a light-hearted romance comedy (RomCom) centered on our loner gamer protagonist, Amano Keita, and his misadventures and hilarious misunderstandings through high school making new friends and love interests along the way. Highlights A major theme in this anime is video games. It is anywhere and everywhere in the anime. It parodies most of the major games, except the few from its sponsor. The opening credits is basically a parody paying homage to different video games, including PUBG. You’ll find a modified version of Life, COD, and Street fighter sprinkled throu...
