God Eater

2015-11-01T18:13:00.000-08:00

I wasn't really interested in this anime until a few weeks ago. I heard alot of people were hyped for it, but I didn't know much about it. It was like a hidden gem for me! The plot is super great and the animation is unique.
I love the show's action and weapon designs the characters use.
The main character Lenka Utsugi is also very likable as well as the other characters.
This show is a must watch!

Summary:

In the early 2050s, unknown life forms called “Oracle cells” begin their uncontrolled consumption of all life on Earth. Their ravenous appetite and remarkable adaptability earn them first dread, then awe, and finally the name “aragami”. In the face of an enemy completely immune to conventional weapons, urban civilization collapses, and each day humanity is driven further and further toward extinction. One single ray of hope remains for humanity. Following the development of “God Arcs”—living weapons which incorporate Oracle cells—their wielders are organized into an elite force

Beautiful Bones: Sakurako's Investigation

2015-10-30T08:04:00.000-07:00

This anime has a lot of similarities to the American TV Show- BONES.

Of course this anime version is just as amazing or even better.

I love all the mystery and scientifc aspects of the show.

Beautiful Bones and also becoming more and more popular!

(Because it's different from everything else right now!)

Summary :

The story centers around high school student Shotaro Tatewaki and the beautiful Sakurako Kujo, who loves beautiful bones. Due to the nature of her interests, the two of them are involved in all kinds of incidents involving bones

One-Punch Man Episode 1

2015-10-13T21:35:00.001-07:00

One-Punch Man anime is out! I can't get enough of this show and the manga. The animation is fantastic and the story as always is hilarious, yet intense! I heard that a second season will be coming out soon! Exciting : )

Summary:

Saitama only became a hero for fun, but after three years of “special” training, he finds that he can beat even the mightiest opponents with a single punch. Though he faces new enemies every day, it turns out being devastatingly powerful is actually kind of a bore. Can a hero be too strong? (Hulu)

Yong Pal

2015-08-17T18:37:00.000-07:00

This drama is so amazing! I usually don't watch too many medical dramas because they end up being too boring. Yong Pal however is full of action, suspense and intrigue. So far I am really enjoying the show, and it seems the people of South Korea are also. The show is currently reaching double digit ratings!

Summary:

Kim Tae Hyun (Joo Won) is a promising young surgeon, but his finances take a dive when his sister's health condition requires costly dialysis treatments. When Tae Hyun subsequently falls into a vicious cycle of debt, he assumes the alias of "Yong Pal" and begins making house calls for criminals who are willing to pay top dollar. Complicating things further, Tae Hyun gets involved with Han Yeo Jin (Kim Tae Hee), a comatose patient at the hospital.

Snow White with the Red Hair (Anime)

2015-07-27T08:20:00.002-07:00

I've been reading the manga, Akagami no Shirayukihime for a while now, so when I heard they were making an anime I flipped!
Shoujo manga don't get made into anime as often as shonen, so I was super excited!
The story and characters are all fantastic. The heroine is not your average girl, and everything seems really realistic. This is a must read and watch!

*Also see if you can spot Kuro-sensei's voice in the first ep! (Jun Fukuyama)*

Summary:

Shirayuki is a headstrong young pharmacist with a shock of beautiful apple-red hair. When her mane gets her noticed by a prince who demands she be his concubine, she runs away to a neighboring kingdom, where she befriends a handsome stranger.

The Heroic Legend of Arslan

2015-05-25T16:30:00.000-07:00

My own review pending.... I'm on ep. 7?
This series has been in several different formats from novels to manga to anime.
Recently Hiromu Arakawa used the story from original novels (different author), and turned it into a manga of her own style. You may know her as the mangaka of Full Metal Alchemist.

Summary:

In the kingdom of Pars lies the Royal Capital of Ecbatana, a powerful city ruled by the fearsome King Andragoras. Arslan, the 14-year-old prince of Pars, is a green ruler and lacks the fierce leadership skills possessed by his father. After his father falls victim to a treacherous plot headed by one of his most trusted comrades, the kingdom of Pars falls in the war with the neighboring nation of Lusitania. Narrowly escaping with his life, Arslan must embark on a journey to reclaim the fallen kingdom and fulfill his destiny as ruler of Pars.

Assassination Classroom

2015-05-25T16:21:00.000-07:00

This is a very unique anime! I don't think I've ever watched anything like it. I assume the manga is just as good. (So far have only read volume 1) Koro-sensei is definitely what makes this show special! (Yellow Octopus Monster lol....)
I think the story is just getting started,but will eventually be filled with action!

Summary:

Forget about homework. The students of Class 3E have a more important assignment: kill the teacher! Their tentacle-d sensei moves at Mach 20, and he’s out to conquer the classroom after destroying most of the moon!

Death Parade

2015-04-03T13:17:00.003-07:00

Death Parade was my favorite anime this season (Winter 2015).
I found myself getting so into the story having to due with human decisions, emotions, morality and death.
The anime opening is also addicting! BRADIO - Flyers

This is an article about the character in Shirobako and their real life counterparts.
Lots of great info!
If you haven't watched Shirobako, do so now! Season 2 just ended...
It's a fantastic anime with lots of heart and creativity!

Summary:

In a school in northeastern Japan, five friends in the animation club, Aoi, Ema, Shizuka, Misa, and Midori swear to complete a new anime called "Shinbutsu Konkou SHICHIFUKUJIN" with some donuts. Since then, day after day, the five spend all of their time on anime production. The awe of going from rough sketches to animation, and the awkward acting in the after recording session... The final product was finished at the cultural fair six months later. After they graduated they still pursued animation and swore on some donuts that they would make another anime together.
