Anime: Yu Yu Hakusho

            This is a pretty standard action anime in a lot ways like Dragon Ball, good guy fights evil he gets stronger beats evil; rinse and repeat. The cool thing about this anime it also has a story and twist to go with it even a little romance.
            The story starts with the main character Yusuke dieing, yes dieing, Whom as a spirit meets Botan a beautiful girl who turns out to be the grim reaper. Yusuke is a delinquent child that gets into fights and skips school, only reason he dies is because he is nice once and saves a kid from being ran over, the ironic part being is the kid would of been missed and Yusuke died for no reason.
          The first season is all about finding a way to bring him back to life, which is done by help of his more than friend Keiko. the season on up is Yusuke and a few friends using spirit powers; 2 of which are demons fighting battles as spirit detectives. By the way if u watched fruit baskets you can recognize Tohru and Keiko have the same voice actress.
         The series may have pretty obvious fights like most action shows, it still has great funny moments and will have you rooting for Keiko and Yusuke to finally get over their shyness and date. I definitely recommend this nearly 200 episode series, and to make sure you don't feel disappointed yes there is a decent ending to this long series.

Anime: Spice and Wolf

          Spice and Wolf is a different anime than I usually watch; this anime somewhat funny, it does make you think, and definitely addicting. Spice and Wolf is about a traveling merchant in a European style world, he has been traveling 7 years; his goal being to save enough money to own his own shop.
           Kraft Lawrence the salesman, meets Holo a young looking woman whom  is actually a wolf deity which has brought the town she lives near a good wheat harvest pretty much every year. Holo says the town people have forsaken her so she wants to go home in the north with Kraft.
          He agrees only because he thinks she could help bring in some extra cash, but during their travels her personality and help with making more money than usual, cause them to get into bad situations that they can only get out with their smarts. You can tell through out the season they start to grow feelings for each other, but Kraft is to dull to show his feelings, and Holo is a wise wolf she isn't going to do the chasing.
         Currently theres only a season one out in English but season two should be coming soon and I cant wait to watch it. definitely a must watch for me at least.

Manga: Wish

            A four Manga series by Clamp, where this guy meets an angel. I read this series in high school and I loved it so much, its a lot like Oh My Goddess!
           Kudo walking sees this little girl being attacked by crows, he saves her, and she proclaims she is an angel. Kudo is at first in denial about the whole thing. You see according to this book, angels and demons when low on energy stay in a chibi form to conserve energy.
           Kohaku the angel wants to repay Kudo and grant him a wish, but he is happy with what he has, so she stays with him until he decides. Koryu is a demon equivalent of Kohaku, and ties to hurt and attack her all the time, towards the end Clamp implies that he only teases Kohaku because he has a crush on her.
          Koryu has twin cat lady minions Hari and Ruri, who do everything for him, they love him so much that they start fighting all the time.
          God gets mad that Kohaku stayed on earth so long but loves his angels, Kudo gets in a accident and dies. Kohaku gets real sad and god decides to let her sleep until Kudo is reincarnated. In the end Kudo is reincarnated and is a teen at the time, because of him Kohaku awakes, and loves him instantly and follows him. The teen having no memory of his past life is kind of freaked out, but accepts it and thats how it ends. I hope some day they make another part to the series but I doubt it.
                                        

Anime: Comic Party

            Comic Party is a short series that is pretty funny, its has a minor romance as well but this anime is more about following your passion and following your dreams.
            The main character is Kazuki, in his senior year he is wondering what to do with his life, he is a fantastic artist. Taishi is a class mate that pushes Kazuki into comic conventions and tells Kazuki he wants them to make a group to make comics for a living.
           Kazuki at first doesn't understand anything about comics, he starts making ones that has a little bit of every genre, which fails miserably which causes Kazuki to almost quit. His best friend through junior high Mizuki tries throughout the series, to stop him saying he is wasting his time, and she is also is creeped out by the whole anime nerds type thing. Mizuki though hating that kind of stuff, is the one that helped Kazuki not quit, she wanted him to follow his passion, but she likes the way he use to draw.
        Kazuki decides to make a comic based on his own style, him and all his friends help him finish and copy all his work in a few hours when all the printing places are closed, just to barely finish in time for the comic convention.
       Kazuki meets a few anime friends on the way through the series, two rival artists whom fight a lot, daughter of a printing company, a fellow new comic artist, and a few cosplayers. even though this anime is short I love it because it makes you feel with friends you can follow your passion.

Anime: Please Twins

             Please Twins is a funny spin off of Please Teacher with some of the original characters. Some of the characters you may remember is Mizuho, Kaede, and the last episode you see in the end; all of the original characters meet up.
            Maiku is a programmer and is only in high school; he is currently alone. one day a redhead named Miina; comes to him showing a picture of when they were kids, saying they are twins. Maiku is annoyed but in the end lets her stay. A day or two later another girl named Karen comes with the same picture saying she is his twin. All three have the same picture and they all i have blue eyes, but only one is related to Maiku.
           The three not only have to deal with the fact that one may be family to Maiku, but the girls get feelings for him, Miina's is more perverted with real love, and Karen loves him but don't understand her feelings.
            Maiku- is uptight and likes things his way, he is also the most mature of the three.
            Miina- is hyperactive, physical, and slightly perverted, she makes the plans out of the two girls.
            Karen- is the shy, quiet, sweet type, that can cook, she also faints when surprised which happens a lot.
          The last episode they do find out who is the sister and the other fears being kicked out, Maiku says he will do anything to have them both stay which includes even marrying the non sister. You have to find out yourself who the sister is, this show is a definite must watch but I strongly suggest watch Please Teacher first.

Anime: Please Teacher

            Please Teacher is very funny and romantic, (haha) I seem to like those anime. Please Teacher is about a boy who has a disease where he goes comatose after feeling emotional stress called standstill. the boy Kei at 15 went into a standstill for 3 years, but all his memories and body is still like he was 15.
            One day he sees a alien spaceship and witnesses a beautiful woman, just then he goes into a standstill. Kei wakes thinking everything was a dream, going to school the next they get a new teacher; the beautiful red head Mizuho.
            Kei remembers her and she tries to stop him from telling anyone, getting accidentally stuck in the sports closest. The principle opens the door, and she almost gets fired but Kei and his family step up, and say he is married to her and he is actually 18. Kei and Mizuho quickly make up the papers get married and live together and they barely know each other.
            Now Kei and his beautiful teacher have to learn to love each other after marriage, while not telling his group of their married.

                        Characters: Kei - held back, learns that in order to stop going into standstill he must move forward with his emotions.
                                          Mizuho- beautiful, naive, teacher of the group of characters, jealous, sweet, and half alien.
                                          Koishi- Kei's closest friend she loves Kei, because he seems more mature than regular boys, causes relationship issues between Kei and Mizuho.
                                          Ichigo- the shortest of the group, says things beyond her age, likes being mischievous.
                                          Kaede- tall, red head, shy, quiet, easily blushes, and later in the series gets in a relationship with one of the guys.
                                         Hyosuke- loud, obnoxious, dreams of a world outside his little town, one of the more funny characters.
                                         Matagu- the most shyest of guys, dreams of meeting a alien in real life, even considers confessing his love but his shyness stops him.
                                         Marie- Mizuho's ship control and a very funny little creature that loves pocky.

              All other characters you will have to see in the anime, because I consider this group the main characters. I'm going to talk about Please Twins a spin off of this anime with a few of the original characters, please watch this first.

Anime: Oh My Goddess!

                 Oh My Goddess! is a favorite anime of mine, its a romance and comedy; that is different than most I've seen.
                This anime is about Keiichi a college student that has constant bad luck. Keiichi is in the motorcycle club and gets stuck with all the chores, During the chores he tries to make call for something he forgot to do.
                 The call gets redirected to the Goddess hotline, and Belldandy appears before Keiichi. Belldandy offers any wish he may want, not believing her he jokingly wishes for Belldandy to be by his side forever, which of course came true. Anything that tries to separate them will be stopped, example: because theres a girl in the dorm, the club members kicked him out of the dorm.
               The first night together they slept in a  car, getting to know each other. Because Belldandy did a little magic, they got a place to live at a monks house, soon after he sees Belldandy singing heavenly and decides he isn't holy enough and needs to go on a trip giving them the house totally. Belldandy is pretty much Keiichi's good luck charm but as you can tell through the series he loves her and she loves him.
             Keiichi takes forever to makes a move, I don't think he even kisses her till closer to the end. What makes it worst is Belldandy 2 sisters come to live with them. Urd is the eldest sister and is part devil, she is very sexy, lazy, loves television, and is always trying to make Keiichi's relationship with her sister to go faster by trying to make him have sex with her. Skuld is the youngest genius and and wants all Belldandy's attention, absolutely cant stand Keiichi being near Belldandy.
            This anime is great and i suggest watching it, there are 2 series and a movie.

Kaoru and Aoi love flourish but slowly because of the interruptions, and in the end Kaoru steps up to Aoi's father and makes him, to allow them married.
         this is a great anime and only reason I found it was because I watched it through a streaming site, definitely a must watch.

Anime: DearS

Miu, Ren, Takeya

                  DearS is a very funny anime series only lasting 13 episodes. Dears Follows along the type of anime that is Chobits, with very similar plots. Both anime have a man whom either gets stuck with or takes a girl into his home. DearS and Chobits have a conflict interest, Chobits he has to decide if its okay to love a android, DearS the main character has to decide if its okay to love an alien woman with a small twist.
                A year ago aliens have crashed landed on Tokyo bay, and now are becoming transfer students to become more familiar with human customs.
            Takeya a 17 year old who lives on his own, has to go to school where everyone loves DearS. Takeya thanks to his life long friend Neneko has a fear of aliens, from alien horror films watched as a kid.
           Takeya finds a naked girl whom kisses him then passes out, he reluctantly takes her home and takes care of her. Her name is very hard to pronounce so he calls her Ren.
           Takeya and Neneko decides to pass her off as the new Transfer student, after magically learning how to speak from instantly reading all the grammar books. Takeya soon finds out from Ren that kiss meant she was his slave from now on, and all DearS are slaves and there masters didn't give a damn about them.
          Throughout the series Ren learns the meaning of the emotion love, and Takeya Accepts her as his slave; after the others call her defective and tries to take her away. DearS is way more perverted than Chobits, The slaves dress and act a lot like BDSM(Bondage slave/master relationships) slaves. Takeya's grammar teacher rights sex novels and constantly tries to make her students do or say perverted stuff. EXAMPLE: Ren's getting human clothes and she runs out to Takeya trying to get approval in her lingerie, the teacher catches them and thinks there having a three way with Neneko and wants to join but can't.
         DearS is a great funny anime, with similarities to Chobits and asks that all important question, is it morally okay to be in love outside our species. It's a short anime so I suggest watching it and only buying if u fall in love with it. On a side note tell me your favorite anime that some people may not know and i'll watch it and blog it, and even give a shout out to the first person that suggested it.

Anime Movie: Only Yesterday

            This is a Isao Takahata film but its from Studio Ghibli, so I want to talk about this film. This anime has no English voice overs, but its worth watching it subtitled.

Kyo is the outcast of the family because he is the cat, and if you know the zodiac calender there is no cat, he isn't even accepted by his family, through out he thinks if he beats Yuki he will be accepted. Kyo is pretty much an outcast from outcasts, and has a very sad story i won't say to much more.
                The second part of the story is about Tohru Honda, a girl whose mother died when she was young, never scene her father and lives with her grandfather. Her grandfather is getting the house renovated and asks her if she can live with one of her friends for a few months. Tohru being the very selfless type didn't want to bother her friends Arisa and Saki. Tohru decides to live in a tent and do all her homework, and work hard on her job with no help. Tohru Honda let me explain; she is very selfless she wanted to finish school for her mom, she works very hard, and doesn't want to be handed anything, she also finds the best in anyone, one flaw is she has little common sense.
              How the stories come together;  Tohru's  tent she lives in for one night, finds out she accidentally lived on Sohma land. Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure the owner of the house and is the dog zodiac; let her stay with them but she wont let herself stay for free so they agreed to have her clean and cook. Later on she finds out there secret; and most that do get there memories wiped. Tohru didn't because they felt she was special. The Sohma family was very right; every member she meets her; her natural goodness helps each member get over a mental issue they have because the family there in. there is a quote im going to say to end this blog, i suggest to definitely watch this series and read the manga to go further in this wonderful story.
                  QOUTE: "My mom told me, it’s better to trust people than to doubt them. She said that people aren’t born with kind hearts. When we’re born, all we have are desires for food and material things. Selfish instincts, I guess. But she said that kindness is something that grows inside of each person’s body, but it’s up to us to nurture that kindness in our hearts. That’s why kindness is different for every person.
“We’re all born with selfish desires, so we can all relate to those feelings in others. But kindness is something made individually by each person, so it’s easy to misunderstand when others are trying to be kind to you.”"
