Garo Honoo no Kokuin ep 10-11-12



Garo Honoo no Kokuin

So I’ve been a little late with these this past few weeks. It’s been finals, and holidays, the 12 days posts, and just a lot of interruptions which led to me having to again do all three episodes in one go. Let’s not wait any longer, and take a look at the past three episodes of Garo Honoo no Kokuin.

12 Days of Anime Christmas - Day 12



Day 12- Hunter X Hunter

So I realized a few days ago I might have started this a day early. I think I was supposed to end this on Christmas day itself, but really ending it a day early isn’t bad. But that doesn’t really matter. What matters is that today I talk about one of the most important, most touching moments in anime that has happened this past year. I mentioned before that Space Brothers wasn’t the only long running anime that I loved to end this year. The second one was Hunter X Hunter.

12 Days of Anime Christmas - Day 11



Day 11 – Gugure! Kokkuri-san

Gugure Kokkuri-san is about a fox demon who finds a little girl who has emotionally isolated herself, acting like a doll and consuming only instant ramen. The fox takes pity on her and decides to become her guardian, feeding her home cooked meals and trying to make her becomes more human, instead of the doll like she acts. Eventually a cursed dog spirit who is in love with the little girl shows up, and hates everything in the world except for the girl, creepily worshiping her, and a tanuki spirit, who drinks, gambles and hits on woman at the drop of a hat. Together the four characters make a pretty great comedy filled with good references, decent gags, and some very stupid humor. The show is also one of the most heartfelt shows I have seen all year.

12 Days of Anime Christmas - Day 10



Day Ten-A bit more Sentai

When I did the big super sentai over the past year post at the beginning of this whole thing, I was thinking only of the current sentai series. But then I remembered there was another sentai series that I watched weekly over the past year. It was one of the first sentai seasons I had ever wanted to watch, but couldn’t because there were no decent subs at the time. I was disheartened, and instead watched Boukenger, which I still have fond feelings for even to today. But this isn’t about Boukenger. This is about Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger.

12 Days of Anime Christmas - Day Nine



Day Nine- Sabagebu!

9 times out of ten, a show like this is something I would skip over. On the surface it is a fan service heavy show that revels in the same cliché type of comedy that most anime use. Everything about this show on the surface seems like something I would just skip over after the first episode. But then there was one thing, one character, in the first episode that sold me on the show, and kept me coming back for more. And that was Momoka, the biggest asshole in anime.

12 Days of Anime Christmas - Day Eight



Day Eight- Space Brothers

One of my favorite anime of all time has ended this year. Well, actually two, but I will get to the second one in time. The first series I will talk about though was so good that I decided a few months ago to read the manga, and as of today I am all caught up on said manga. That series was Space Brothers.

12 Days of Anime Christmas - Day Seven



Day Seven- Sword Art Fucking Online 2

There are shows that I end up adoring throughout a year. Shows that I think back fondly to and even sometimes grow from watching. Then there are shows that I watch but forget about once they are done. Shows that aren’t bad, but are at the end of the day forgettable, that I enjoy watching but don’t really feel like I have to watch again. And then there are shows that are just plain bad. They are just plain awful shows, that most of the time I watch the first episode of and then I don’t watch the rest, usually forgetting about it. But once in a while, there is a show that I honestly just hate. A show that is just disgusting and annoying and hateful. And I watch that show. I hate watch that show. I sit through every episode and just feel the hate flow through me. And for the past six months, that show has been Sword Art Online 2.
