Watamote

Image
10/10 Watamote is about a girl who is unfortunately unpopular in pretty much every aspect of life. Tomoko is a crazy girl in every way that counts and her death metal intro doesn't really help that despite this she is probably one of the better female characters you'll ever come across. Watamote is a comedy overall there isn't really much else to it but sometimes simple is better and in this case it really hits home. Tomoko is a character that is pretty likable to the point you feel bad for her in just about everything she fails even if she may have deserved it. If anything Tomoko is an expert at making you feel bad for not talking to the shy girl you used to know because she was probably just like Tomoko. Not super hot or super ugly just really shy with a lot of dirty thoughts and misinterpretations of the world around her. There are not a lot of major characters in Watamote aside from Tomoko but, the side characters are pretty well thought out when they do appear. ...

Fortune Arterial

8/10 Waltzing into a school full of vampires that act like your everyday human isn't something that happens often unless of course you are Hasekura Kohei. Not that this anime really goes into the whole vampire thing till pretty much the end of the show. Kohei is a different character in general when it comes to these romance animes normally. Most of the time you end up with a sniveling crybaby but Kohei he is kind of indifferent about it. Not to the point of questioning his sexuality but, he certainly is less idiotic about the whole situation. This anime is a lot of slice-of-life instead of having anything to really do with romance. The romance does come but, only towards the end of the show I would say it doesn't really start becoming part of it till about episode eight. I will say that their depiction of vampires is pretty interesting though it was before "Interviews with Monster Girls" it has the same idea that blood sucking is a lot more intimate than peo...

Kaze No Stigma

Image
8.5/10 Kaze No Stigma is about a young man who is expelled from his family for being unable to control the power of fire like the rest of his family. In this family they prefer fire over wind and those who are unable to master it in the main family are disowned. This anime probably has one of the cooler main characters because lets face it the dude is just not a bitch like most of the main male leads. Granted he really likes to tease the people around him but, all in all he is a better character than most. Plus, the dude is a total bad ass in a fight I think he loses his cool in a few fights during the whole anime. Now he isn't completely infallible because that just wouldn't be any fun to watch with series like One Punch Man or   Overlord  hanging around. Granted I will say that Kaze no Stigma is older than the both of them so I guess you could call this their grand daddy. Unfortunately not enough people liked Kaze No Stigma to keep it going as it only had one season wit...

The Devil is a Part Timer

Image
10/10 This anime is about as ridiculous as its title would imply. The devil is a part timer is basically about Satan working at McDonalds. Honestly I can't tell if that's creative marketing or a jab towards McDonald's but, at the very least they made a very good anime in the process. This show fools you in the beginning by showing you a completely different setting than you would think. Giving you the impression that this may be a gory action before having Satan (Maou) end up in our world. With this speaking a different language and with no idea where he is at he is forced to use what little magic that he had to get more information. When he discovers that there is little similarities between his world and ours he takes it upon himself to find a way to get magic back and get back home to rule the land. Maou ends up in our world because he is defeated by a hero and pushed to our world though, there is slight indication he may not have fought at his full power or at...

Luck & Logic

Image
6.8/10 Luck and logic is about Tsurugi a man who uses the power of logic to fight beings from another dimension whom have invaded our world with the help of the goddess Athena. With weird powers on the way similar to something like RWBY but, not really in the same spectrum. Honestly I have to say that I enjoyed this anime right out of the gate but, I'm still going to tear it a new one. Despite the fact that I particularly liked this show since it was one of the only ones that I watched when it came out; it always seemed to be lacking something throughout the entirety of all twelve episodes. There wasn't really an explanation as to what the hell was happening and it felt really rushed. Though, I will say that the combat was cool overall the fact that the entire time I felt as though it were missing something really bothered me. Part of that comes from the main character's story-line about losing his first set of powers. If he is supposed to be a badass then fucking act ...

Parasyte

Image
9/10 10/10(Brutality) Parasyte is an anime about well, you guessed it parasites that invade the human body giving them super natural abilities but, most parasites destroy their hosts' brain. This kills the human and allows the parasite to roam freely using their body. Parasyte is pretty gory and is one of my all time favorites. Mainly because it never held back and it always tried to out do itself. Much like its' brethren in the brutal spectrum you can expect parasyte to deliver nightmarish deaths and great fights! Parasyte follows Shinichi as he is able to keep the parasite he names "Migi" out of his brain; together they combat other parasites to survive in their cruel world. Of course things between Migi and Shinichi don't exactly start off great as you would imagine I mean how would you feel if you were a belt loop away from death? The two set aside their differences to survive and it is nice to see them develop ways to fight people as a two man team ra...

Isuca

Image
9/10 Isuca is an anime that is about fighting evil spirits with the power of exorcist via the Shimazu family. Apparently they have fought bad ghost for a really long time. Our main characters consist of Sakuya and Shinichirou. Isuca is about is good as they come for a romance/action anime it has just about everything you need for a successful piece. Good characters that are memorable a pretty good story and some genuine comedy. Not that it doesn't have its' flaws but, it has far more good things about it than bad things. That being said I am surprised it did not receive a second season but, I am sure the time will come. Isuca takes place in a modern day world with a bit of magic and spells. All the fun stuff you need for demons and exorcist right? The best part of this anime is probably surprisingly the story and actual romance of the whole thing granted Sakuya is the typical tsundere but, I think pretty much everyone likes those for some reason. Hell even I can't ex...
