Otaku Corner

I watched Drifters, the Castlevania animation, and both seasons of Tiger & Bunny at my friend's house over the weekend. My friend had the entire first season of Drifters on DVD, while we watched Castlevania and Tiger & Bunny on Netflix.

Drifters - This anime is basically historical figures meets fantasy world with gore, mature themes, and beautiful animation. The writer is also behind the manga Hellsing and its OVA series Hellsing Ultimate, so also be prepared for Nazis, too.

Castlevania: OH MY GOD I LOVED IT, IT JUST SUCKS THERE WERE ONLY FOUR EPISODES!!! While this really shouldn't be considered anime (it was made in the US), it's fucking fantastic and I hope I'll be back at my friend's house once season 2 drops.

Tiger & Bunny: Truth be told, I was worried I wasn't gonna like this show. A hero anime? Not sure about that... but boy, was I wrong. The characters sucked me in, especially Wild Tiger, Barnaby, and Fire Emblem (yes that is their hero name) and the story was pretty great. I recently learned there is going to be another T&B animation project happening. When? I'm not sure, but I'll be waiting.

Watch it. It is great. I am sad it is over.

I keep telling myself to get caught up on my anime and manga, but I keep jumping into games and lose track of all my free time...

I did start Angel Beats over since...I only got halfway through it like....2 or 3 years ago?

...so yeah, I have no clue what was happening when I stopped watching it.

Once I finish Angel Beats (which I will this time!), I'll be restarting Spice and Wolf as well since, like Angel Beats....I stopped halfway through the first season like....2 or 3 years ago as well?

Need to catch up with One Piece (manga) as well. Thankfully, I remember where I was there, so I don't need to restart that (if I did, that'd be....700+ chapters to reread... @~@).

That would a huge bummer to restart One Piece xD

Speaking of reading manga, I've got the last two volumes of Fairy Tail now!

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about Fairy Tail... Also forgot that it had finished, so I'll have to work on that sometime as well.

やった!!

I finally finished Angel Beats!

Absolutely amazing anime from start to finish! Solid 10 from me! The characters were definitely the best part, and the music was amazing as well! The story overall was great too! It made me laugh, made me cry, made me excited to see what happened next, and wrapped everything up nicely in the end! Loved every minute of it!

yay :0

though I gave it a 9/10 cause could have used better pacing as originally it was to be DOUBLE THE LENGTH but got cut in half cause they thought it wouldn't hold attention

if you love the characters check out the prequel manga Angel Beats Heaven's Door, takes place before main character arrives and focuses on the other characters

I'll definitely check that out. Thanks!

one thing i forgot to mention, if you have a weak stomach maybe you shouldn't, it's more gorey and doesn't censor some deaths. One character has their stomach cut open and guts pour out D:

Meh, manga gore usually doesn't bother me (remembers Sugar Dark as an example).
