Winter 2014 Anime Season: First Impressions

First Impressions: Winter 2014

Final Thoughts: Fall 2013

Final Thoughts Fall 2013

This has been an interesting season, to say the least. There were so many shows that started out so interesting, that half way through I just wanted to entirely drop. This isn’t helped by the fact that the shows I did keep were almost all keep going past 12-13 episodes and there are another million show I am really interested in next season. Oh the problems of an anime fan, too many shows, not enough time or attention span. Yeah, yeah, I know, these are stupid problems. But really, let’s get right into it. These are my final thoughts on the fall 2013 anime season.

Garo: A Retrospective

Garo: A bit of a retrospective

As you might know, I watch tokusatsu. But I mainly stick to the big two, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. And while I love those franchises, there is more to the genre that I want to get into. I hope to one day watch some of the older Metal Heroes series, maybe look into Ultraman, and any other of the many great series that exist. But there was one that I heard talked about again and again. People would say it was a tokusatsu for adults, or that is was dark and really good. So finally I decided to check out this series, and long story short, it is fantastic. It is a great series with incredible fights, creative monsters, and so much more. But I might be getting a bit ahead of myself. This is Garo, and its sequel series, and the movies, and everything else. Let’s go!

Fall 2013 Anime Season: First Impressions

First Impressions: Fall 2012

It is time once again to look at a new season of anime straight from Japan. This year we have worse versions of shows from previous season, maybe better versions of shows from previous seasons, and sports anime. So many sports anime. Let’s take a look at all the new shows that I am watching, and then drop later in the season for no reason. These are my first impressions of the fall 2013 anime season. 

Final Thoughts: Summer 2013

Final Thoughts: Summer 2013 Anime Season

A new anime season is upon us, and that means it is time to look back at the season we must leave. And what a season it was. There was some gold this season, some shows that I am really disappointed that we will have to leave, and some stuff I don’t mind forgetting about. Next season might be a mystery, but let’s first look at the shows that I will be continuing to watch into the fall anime season.

My Favoite 30 Anime of All Time

 

So I was skimming a few anime blogs and decided to read their favorite 10, or 20, or 30 anime series of all time. I got to thinking about what I would consider my top however many anime series. So I decided to make a list. I am making some rules to this list. It has to be on my completed list on myanimelist.com. You can find my list here, http://myanimelist.net/animelist/mangahead333. I will also include any series that I want on the favorites list that are more than 50 episodes and still running. I will also exclude movies and live action stuff. So here it is, my top 30 favorite anime of all time, until something better comes along. Note: much of this list will probably change depending on how I am feeling from day to day. Many series could easily just swap places with one another. Also there will probably be spoilers. But enough of that, onto the list!

Summer 2013 Anime Season: First Impressions

First Impressions: Summer 2013

It is another year of me writing opinions on anime and it is time again for my first impressions list of the summer 2013 anime season. Over the last year I looked at magical girl anime, talked of toku, and gained an appreciation of sports anime. Next year, I will probably end up doing more of the same, I can’t help it I just like magical girls, toku, and sports. I will try to mix up the genres more in the future, though I can’t promise anything. But enough with that, lets save the future for another day. Let us look at my first impressions of the summer 2013 anime season.
