Spice & Wolf

7/10 (Overall) 10/10 (Romance/Adventure)

Spice and Wolf is a fairly old anime and if you don't know what you're looking for you may never find it but, nonetheless it is a good anime for starters and for the less actiony people.

I really like this one personally but, I can't give it a super high review because, it's just not for everyone a lot of people will get bored with it mainly at the cause of its slow pacing. Now that's not a bad thing par-say but, it will keep it from getting a higher review in my eyes. This anime greatly resembles anime movies rather than anime which, is why I would say it is a good starter because, the story in this one is so well-written and told it really gives a good impression to anyone who would doubt that anime isn't where good stories live. Personally speaking I think this anime is really good but, other people normally sweep poor Holo under the rug and it makes her hard to find in the pile of anime's that are out there. Of course if you would like to watch it and you cannot find Spice and Wolf you can always ask me to give you a link.

The story is pretty simple you follow a merchant throughout his travels but, along the way he meets Holo the wise wolf she is considered a goddess of sorts and has a very likable personality. You get to see our protagonist Lawrence stumble a bit as he realizes that Holo might be smarter than him. Luckily he comes to terms with it fairly quickly and then their adventures are enjoyable especially when the two get into elongated banters with each other there is some mild action that happens here and there even Holo gets into it but, it is nothing really to write home about other than the fact it seems like it is there to remind you that Holo is no just some random girl with wolf ears on her head. Holo will win her way into your heart even if you find her annoying at first because, despite her bitterness sometimes she is actually a really sweet girl that just seems lonely until Lawrence comes along to occupy her boredom. Eventually, you start to see the relationship grow into a budding romance and the guise of their martial status becomes a reality. Luckily there is more than one season of Spice and Wolf though, I do wish that this anime got a continuation over others I appreciate at the same time that they didn't milk the utters like Naruto.

In conclusion this anime is great for starters or for anyone who likes romance genre stuff. Holo really sells the show overall and Lawrence comes across as a competent male lead who is young to his trade but, quickly learns. If you're looking for a fuzzy feeling this is probably the one you want to watch and if you want to get someone who is really apprehensive about anime in general (I.E. they think it's just a bunch of hentai or something) then you should probably show them Spice and Wolf!

Thanks again for reading! Do share and subscribe for more anime reviews who knows maybe the wise wolf will bless you for it?

Campione!

7/10 This anime is about Kusanagi Godoas a man who has slain the god of victory and acquired his powers. He has become a Campione and must fight other Campione to hope that he may survive this ordeal! Guess I'll start doing Fan-service Friday since this anime is fairly fan-service heavy aswell. Campione has one of the coolest theroies in an anime I've ever seen for it to be a ecchi anime. The idea is that when you kill a god you obtain their powers basically becoming that god; you can also kill other gods and obtain their powers aswell but, be careful you also inherit their weaknesses! This anime has an awful lot of fan-service as do many of the anime's that will be on Fridays' list. Campione has a weird way of mixing together combat and ecchi it's a bit of an awkward mix to be honest but this anime was underrated because of it. Many reviewers gave it a horrible review and it is normally fairly hard to find all of the episodes in one place when Campio...

Ladies Vs Butlers

7/10 Being orphaned and sent to a rich kid school to end up a butler for one of the many various princess's of the world with their big money and all that sounds great right? Honestly, all I can really say is as fun as that sounds no thanks I wouldn't be able to stand how the women treat our protagonist Akiharu. Though, at least his childhood girlfriend is there so not all of them are terrible. Afterall, to be a super princess you have to be somewhat civilized right? In anycase this anime is definitely the fan-service type but, it is a lot more entertaining than most of them mainly because like out number one entry today  Asobi Ni Ikuyo  it has a lot of comedy that is pretty fun to watch in general. Not really any action that I can think of in it but, this anime isn't really about that afterall it is a fan-service anime. At some point our protagonist does kind of get huffy with them and gets in their face which I like the fact that he calls them on their shit becau...

Blue Dragon

S1 9/10 S2 6/10 Blue Dragon is another action heavy anime that features Shuu in his quest to save the world from being taken over in both seasons. With S1 and S2 being so different in the ratings I'm here to explain why! We'll start with S1 since it is first. With S1 you are just getting to know Shuu as he takes on the empire that threatens the world. His first encounter with this empire is when they try to take over his village and try to kill him. Fortunately for him he is the holder of one of he legendary shadows known as Blue Dragon. During S1 you see him learn how to control his power over the course of it and even become friend with his inner demon much like Naruto except, having a giant Blue Dragon whoop ass for you somehow strikes me as cooler than becoming a neon light at a bar. Most people write BD off for the fact that the protagonist is very young but, if you have ever watched Hunter X Hunter then this is right up your alley though, the world isn't as ...
