WOOHOOO!! Cowbooooys…Innn….SPAAACE!!! First aired in 1998, Cowboy Bebop is another oldie with high ratings. But this time, I feel the praise is more justly deserved. Set in the year 2071, Cowboy Bebop tells the story of some bounty hunters, (cowboys,) who travel around the Solar System in their ship, the Bebop. There isn’t a lot […]
Strawberry Marshmallow is another school life comedy, all about comedic situations rather than an overall storyline. However, instead of high school girls, this time we have elementary school girls. And one college girl. Nobue Ito is the eldest of the group. (By far. She is twenty.) She is Chika’s older sister, but all the girls […]
Neon Genesis Evangelion. NGE. A BIG name in anime. It began airing in 1995, so it is an older show. It went on to win several animation awards, and was highly influential to later animes. NGE is also famous for being a highly controversial show. You either love it, or you hate it. Personally, I […]

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is… different than I was expecting. At first glance, I thought it was going to be some high school drama kind of thing. But what do I find upon watching it? A quasi-science fiction story! I totally did not expect that. The story follows Haruhi Suzumiya, a first-year high school […]
Kanon tells the story of Yuichi Aizawa, a young man who has forgotten much of his childhood past. It is based on a visual novel of the same name. (Remember those?) There have been two anime adaptions made, done by different studios: one aired in 2002, the other in 2006. I will be talking about […]
And now, the second anime in my series: Code Geass. At its heart, Code Geass is about giant robots fighting each other. There, I bet you’re interested already. :D Code Geass is set in an alternate universe, where three superpowers control the world: the Holy Britannian Empire, the Euro Universe, and the Chinese Federation. Britannia […]
Today, I’m going to be starting a new series, wherein I review anime. This may be a short series though, as I haven’t watched all that many. Not as many as I would like, anyway. That said, lets get started. Lucky Star is a ‘slice-of-life’ anime. Meaning, it tells the everyday story of a group […]
