So one other anime I am watching this season is Koutesujou no Kabaneri or Kabaneri of Iron fortress.
Spoilers, you've been warned.
So far, I am enjoying the series for what it is. Episode 1 and 2 (stopping a virus infection by strapping a collar around your neck until you pass out?) stretched my reasoning a bit but I rolled with it and kept watching. I am so glad I did.
This girl is up for badass of the year in my book. Mumei is friggin epic. I really hope she doesn't suffer from the token heroine syndrome that a lot of series end up doing. Episode 8 just left me with stars in ny eyes with the sheer badassery that went down. People riding Steam powered motorcycles wielding steam powered guns killing metal zombies. That is friggin awesome!
I can't wait to finish this series. I am praying to the anime gods they don't drop the ball on this.

So it's been a while since I did one of these so I decided I would put one out of a series that was currently airing. It definitely is one of my favorite from this season and got me watching this seasons anime.
Sakamoto desu ga or Haven't you heard, I'm Sakamoto.
Spoilers, you've been warned!
Oh my goodness I haven't laughed so hard in a while. I just finished watching episode 8. The sheer obsurdity of this anime is on a whole new level. Very mascline in its approach and I definitely am enjoying the small aseops that are thrown in.
Anyone else think they might be getting ready to say Sakamoto is an alien or a divine being or something?
I mean there is no friggin way any normal human being can do this, he has to be something other than human. And this isn't even the strangest thing he's done.

So its almost old news now but this year marks the 20th anniversary of one of the most beloved magical girls in anime and manga history. Cardcaptor Sakura turned 20 years old this year.
Now this series brings up many fond childhood memories for me. When I got the notification about it I was hit with a wave of nostalgia that is undefinable. Who can imagine that one of their most beloved childhood memories would turning 20 years old? It's a marker in life that so long has passed and it gives you a chance to look back at something that meant so much to you.
Now I was a little kid in the 90s, I grew up with the pokemon craze, the digi-volution, fighting evil by moon light and many others americanized anime. I remember trying my hardest to wake up early enough to catch the episodes of Cardcaptors. I remember literally stalking my library and card shops for new volumes when I learned of what manga was and a lot of my favorite shows had a book to them. I remember begging my mom to take me to toys r us just to find the latest merchandise.
.
And when I did find the mangas, I was inlove. There was something about the softnesss, the way the characters looked to me that just made me fall in love. The costumes, the scenes, it was all beautiful and so different from what I was used to. It gave me a sense of surrealism that I dont find in comics or other media.I also remember trying so hard to learn how to learn Japanese and read hiragana and kanji just so I could read my favorite books.
I know there is a lot of debate going on about american openings for shows but CardCaptors had one of the coolest but I am biased. I ran around singing this to myself while wishing I could be just as cool as our heroes in the story.
Bio
Hmm...what to tell? I'm a anime loving, tea drinking, gothy mad hatter that has a penchant for both cute and creepy things. I love the written word in all its whimsical ways. I love a good story and can tell one as well. Enjoy your day and your time on my page.
