Day 3: What to Look For in an Anime?

Tedwin

Anime is awesome…..what can I say. However, not all animes are created equal. I say it really comes down to the directing and the team’s collaboration in the production...of course, all done in a timely manner. Please watch Shirobako to learn what I mean, they do a good job illustrating how an anime is produced….and the outcome matters. And DONUTS!!! YUM

~ Aoi will never forget how she felt the day her high school animation club's labor of love was shown at the cultural festival. The sense of awe and the feeling of accomplishment that came with completing their very first project are exactly what encouraged Aoi and her club mates to enter the animation industry in the first place. But two years later Aoi has graduated, and now that she works as a production assistant for a big-name animation studio, the daunting reality of her job has somewhat diminished her enthusiasm. Despite the long hours and the punishing schedule, Aoi still hopes to fulfill the promise she and her club friends Ema, Shizuka, Misa, and Midori made: to one day reunite and make a real animated feature of their own as professionals!

Day 2: What to Rewatch???

Tedwin

I tend to rewatched anime only with ppl who haven’t seen the series before. It typically happens when I give them a recommendation LOL. However, there are times that the current anime season just don’t have anything good or lack the right amount so one will feel the need to revisit some the good ones that made you a committed lover haha. Unfortunately, I do not like to rewatch series that I recently seen no matter how amazing it was…probably because it is still fresh in my head. So the list that I made below will be series 3-4 yrs beyond the date of this post.

I pick such series because it just have this amazing story plot that grabs the viewer by collar and it just pulls one in. It can a sad emotional tear jerking or just an intriguing plot. It has the right thrills, action/battles, psychological mindfuck, and character development to keep things exciting for the long run. Of course, we need some cutesy LOL and awesome soundtrack to support the visuals….can never goes wrong there you know. So here you go guys….enjoy…..you can tell me in the comments below what you would rewatch if you have nothing else to feed your anime hungered belly?

Simple Series

Fate/Zero

Angel Beats

Day 1. How You Got Converted?

Tedwin

To the folks reading, I have no idea which anime series really converted me to an anime lover. I’m sure it’s through a series of circumstances that happened in my life that made me into a huge anime fan.  In the very beginning, I didn’t even know I was watching cartoons called anime. These early animes series like Dragon Ball Z, Sailormoon, and Pokemon were just cartoons I looked forward to watching every day. I am sure it is the different drawing styles, action scene, music, and continuum storyline that were so attractive and lacking in western cartoons. Next thing you know, I wake up every Saturday morning just to get my filled of my favorite cartoons…which are anime series. Nostalgic memories of Digimon which I believed were way better than Pokemon, Yugioh which also got me so addicted to the card game,  etc. Only thing that really pisses me off is reshowing the same thing over and over again….like give me new episodes jeez. When I had cable for a bit….Toonami introduced me to various other anime with teen themes and they are mainly 90s anime like Tenchi, Rurouni Kenshin, Cowboy Bebop. At the time I didn’t know but one can see the major differences in animation quality compared to early 2000s anime and especially to the most current anime …but I didn’t care cause anime is hard to come by.

American Series in All Its Glory: Teen Wolf

Since I've decided to tap into American series on top of Anime and Drama. I planned to wait until I have at least check out a good amount of different series, I'll do a little "recommendation" post. 

BUTTTTTT... ever since last week I couldn't wait to start blogging about this one particular show which I have rejected over and over again in the past. I would like to take the time here to talk about how awesome it is and give the show the credits it deserve.

Instead of doing a full lead review, I'll just do a quick spotlight on Teen Wolf. Mainly my rants about it and how I came to watch it. 

I don't plan on doing this with all my future TV shows, Anime, or Drama posts....Just the special and particular ones. Enjoy!
