Chinese New Years, 2014!
-The Year of the Horse-
Silver Spoon 2 is a continuation of the story of Yugo Hachiken's life at an agricultural school.
The second season appears to be addressing the relationships between friends, classmates, and the animals they care for. Season one did revolve around Hachiken's relationship with his friend Baccon, but this season addresses his developing relationship with the horse Melron. It's pretty fun to watch Yugo struggle with his dislikes and likes of horses and farm life in general; that is one of the features that makes Silver Spoon so enduring.
It's a great anime to start off the 2014, the year of the horse! Enjoy!
Walkure Romanze is a very pretty anime that is surprisingly pervy. The story is easy to follow but has thus far done a good job of character development and relevant conflict resolution.
The animation is clean and the designs are fun if sometimes a little exotic. Artistically speaking, I think the colouring really stands out in this anime. The colourists do a good a really good job of capturing the light through the tree canopy, the colors at sunset and the pink reflection from the cherry blossom trees.
However, as I said, this is a very pervy anime so you have to be prepared to see a lot of girl underwear and cheesy, sexually implied jokes.
Overall I think Walkure Romanze is starting to paint a good little story and I give it a 3 out of 5 at this time.
New Years!
Count Down of 2013's best anime according to BuzzfeedChristmas!!!
With a Christian population in Japan of only 1% it's pretty hard to find an entire anime with the Christmas theme. However, there are shows with Christmas episodes. Here is a link to some of the Christmas anime listings:
Halloween!
Attack on Titan - What can be better than being eaten by impossibly large humans with no skin?
Attack on Titan is an amazing anime that excels in all areas. It's artwork, design, storyboards, colouring is all first rate.
The story is also large, complex and often very unpredictable. What makes it even more interesting is that all of the main characters in the story also don't know what is going on... everyone, including the viewer is racing to find understanding. However, despite having a large, complex story, at this point in time, the story is extremely complete. Everything appears to be well thought out and every detail has been accounted for. Even though many of the ideas are very foreign to us, everything is heavily grounded in a form of realism allowing the viewer to follow along and drawn into the story with ease.
Attack on Titan features a large number of characters, which is to be expected from such a large story. Their crisscrossing relationships and ideals make this world all the more compelling and complex. It also begs the question that even if they solve the major issues with the titans, will their world, like our own be any more stable and or safe?
Although the conflict in this story is truly unique, it's also completely relatable. How do relate to our fellow peers? How do we overcome fear?
Perhaps by watching Attack on Titan, not only are we being entertained, but we can explore the same questions from the safety of our homes.
As this is my favorite anime to date, I give Attack on Titan a 5 out of 5.
I'm eagerly awaiting season 2.
Death Note - Trouble comes on the wings of crazy Death Gods who are bored out of their minds.
Death Note is a spectacularly interesting murder mystery, cat and mouse series. Complete with it's own death god, Death Note has all the fixings for a perfect murderer, or does it?
The color pallet suits this story perfectly and the design is sometimes whacked but that just adds to the fun. The story revolves around the two central characters playing cat and mouse. The first one to give up their cards is the first one to die.
I give Death Note a 5 out of 5. Happy watching!
Akira - Can anything be worse than a military psychic experiment gone wrong? Probably not.
Akira is one of Japan's most well known and loved anime. Originally released in 1988, Akira still holds it's own in its design, illustration, music compositions and rich story line.
All of the characters go through significant development as the story progresses. The story is also developed enough to carry significant symbolism that are common amongst great literary works but not as common in anime.
The conflicts in Akira are large and affect the characters personally as well as their world. Every aspect of the story is relevant and well thought out. It allows the viewers to enter Akira's world with ease but also allows for them to think of the presented ideas in the context of their own life.
It's easy to see why Akira is considered a hallmark of Japanese Anime. I give Akira 5 stars out of 5.
