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 Movie: Spirited Away

          Spirited Away is one of the most seen of his movies, if u haven't seen it your one of the few. Spirited Away is another Miyazaki film, which about a child in a fantasy place, like i said in my last post pretty much all his movies involve children learning a lesson or young adult, in a alternate place may it be fantasy or nature.
           Chihiro(10) is sullen about moving away from her friends to a new place. Chihiro like most kids get fussy,  and pouts the whole trip. The father gets lost and they end up at this old gate, Chihiro wants to stay behind because shes scared but goes with them anyway through it. What they find appears to be a rundown theme park, as they go through they find a buffet with no one there. Chihiro feels like they could get inn trouble and walks off as her family pigs down thinking they will pay after the meal.
          As it turns night the spirits come, because it turns out this place is a bridge to the spirit world, Chihiro runs to her parents finding out their turned into pigs. The owner of the place; a witch, makes Chihiro runs into a boy named Haku he decides to help her, he sneaks Chihiro into the bath house and up into the bosses office, she asks for job, because Haku tells her about the creed they cannot turn anyone down a job. The witch makes a contract with her, and takes away her name and give Chihiro a new one, Haku tells her to remember her name its how the witch keeps you from going home.
         Chihiro goes on the journey of working at the bath house and finding a way to free her parents, she grows up and learns about true love and that change can be an adventure to. Most of Miyazaki films are great for the family and young at heart, a definite classic and a must watch. I suggest adding this to your Miyazaki collection.

Anime: D.N. Angel

Daisuke Niwa and Dark
               D.N. Angel is romance comedy with action, it involves Daisuke who has a curse that turns him into dark, whom has his own personality.The male in Daisuke gets a curse when they hit 14, they will turn into Dark when they feel true love.
              Daisuke from the start loves loves Risa Harada twin of Riku Harada, Risa has long hair cant cook is very prissy but not cruel also has a fascination with psychics and Dark. Riku is athletic, cooks well, tomboyish and down to earth, later on she grows feeling for Daisuke.
Riku and Risa
            Daisuke is kind, artistic, shy, but brave, clumsy but strong, and is a true romantic. Dark is the total opposite he is suave, a flirt, thrives to be his own person.
The plot is this Daisuke has to become Dark a angel art thief because the art there stealing is from a long time rival family that has dark powers which could destroy the town. Soon Daisuke meets Satoshi Hiwatari; a transfer student which is the last member of the family which he steals from.
          Hiwatari has an alter ego of an white angel Crad whom is pure evil. Even though Crad is evil, Hiwatari is confused and rivals Daisuke, Hiwatari in the end befriends Daisuke.
                  SPOILER:  As the story goes on Daisuke love seems to diminish from Risa And transfers to Riku, towards the middle of the series Riku and Daisuke start dating and talk nonstop.
                 This anime is great for its storyline, its conflicting emotions in each character makes the anime beautiful in romance but don't think its just romance; D.N. Angel has really funny moments and some great action. D.N. Angel is definitely a must watch.

Anime: Evangelion

             Evangelion; has been seen as one of the greatest anime out there based on storyline. The basic story is Nerv a company for destroying angels, so they don't create a third impact. Nerv has 3 kids; Shinji Ikari male, Rei Ayanami silver haired female, and Asuka Langley Soryu red headed German female; all to be in these mech suits (Evangelion).
            What the third impact means is that there was this angel that fell to earth which created the 2nd impact or the destruction of earth. the 3rd impact is when an angel gets close enough to Adam the first angel, which will finally cause the destruction of humanity.
          The 3 kids are unstable; and no more than Shinji; his father Gendo Ikari is the commander of Nerv and has never paid attention to Shinji since his mother died. The first episode is Shinji finally seeing his father after years, Shinji is the 3rd child that can connect with Evangelion. You find out Shinji is a introvert, and does whatever he is told because he thinks has no choice and wants to please everyone. Throughout the series you learn how unstable these kids really are, towards the end Asuka goes through a breakdown and can't connect with her unit anymore, you learn more about Rei's past, and final two episodes is Shinji's realization.
           This anime is mostly drama, action, and psych 101, with some humor and fan-service so you don't go crazy. I suggest watching these 26 episodes the originals, because there making 4 movies to remake the series how they wanted, because the ending well the original ending wasn't a ending at in my standards. Two out of four movies are already out Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0 in English, 2.0 isn't out in English, 3.0 and final hasn't been announced yet. I definitely want you to watch the original  series to appreciate the 10 or so years of us fans waiting.
