Akiba's Trip

8/10
A fairly new anime that just ended recently about a guy and his gang who defend the city of Akihibara (A real city in Japan) from mysterious beings.

This is definitely NOT an anime that you can start on I would suggest watching this one as your very first anime. This is an anime for anime lovers in general so it being first on your list isn't a good idea you will not understand a lot of the references to the 'Otaku' culture. For clarification on that, Otaku's come in levels and obviously there is a really bad point but it's okay to be a little bit that way. So, on that note after you've delved into anime for awhile this is a great one to watch just because it is really inclusive to all of your anime fan base. It has Romance, Action, Mystery, and even some Gamer lingo for you.

The story goes that Tomatsu a otaku of legendary proportions gets brought into the fighting force against 'The bugged ones' to defend the city of Akihibara against them. Mayo(red head in the picture) is the one that gives him his powers and from then on they are 'Electric Mayonnaise'. Every episode they defend the city from the bugged ones and a different catastrophe. To defend against the bugged ones they have to strip them of their clothes to kill them off and return the people to being normal humans. Now I know what you're thinking and that it will be a ecchi/hentai/lewd anime cause trust me I thought that too. But, in all actuality the whole undressing thing is more like a visual for what kind of danger our heroes are actually in.

Most of the plots of every episode focus on a specific part of being a nerd anywhere from games, anime, and even retro technology. What really sells this anime though is the pure absurdity that they have happen in most of the episodes. Most of the actions they end up taking to save the day or in how they fight are pretty astronomical. It makes for good comedy so long as you get the references or even understand a little of what the episode was originally about though, in the end of the anime there is a small arc that gives some story. Since the anime just ended I do not know if there will be a season two yet but, they certainly left it open.

In conclusion, this anime is really funny for anyone who is an avid fan of anime should generally enjoy this one. It has a little bit of everything so the audience it looks for is really broad among the average Otaku or Weeb. Guess it depends on how much you want to admit it is which one you classify as. So from one anime lover to all the others watch Akiba's Trip!

6.5 Not every review can be a good one and unfortunately this is just gonna be one of the bad ones I'm back for this Friday's review so let's go ahead and jump right into this one. Now I try to look at every anime with the same eye to make sure I grade them fairly on every aspect that I think about. Since this was a sort of spin off season of Dan Machi I was never really sure how to look at this show. The premise of it is that you're following the story from Aiz's point of view instead of Bell's. Which, is all fine and good but there was some serious lack of Bell in this show and unfortunately I don't think people got attached enough to Aiz for her to be on her own yet. Now, while I do think it was a good idea to maybe world build a tad on Aiz as to be honest she is a somewhat unlikable character based on the fact you as the viewer never really get to learn a lot about her. In this version of the parallel story you do learn much more about her but, I th...

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...

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 ...
