Give me big, anime eyes

For my final blog, LET’S TALK ABOUT MY EXCESSIVE PIN COLLECTION!

(gets shot.)

FAIR ENOUGH!

Okay…how about I talk about anime for the hundredth time on this blog?

(yay.)

Eh, works for me.

So, to close out this chapter, I’ll talk about my top favourite anime. Just ten. I mean, there’re a lot of anime.

A lot. And they keep making more.

SO! Here are my top ten favorite anime. Don’t worry, I’ll be quick.

Number 10: My Hero Academia.

I believe I made it clear in blog one I was raised on superheroes, so of course I’m a fan. The show is both awesome and funny, with a really good story. Seriously, it’s like DC or Marvel on a sugar rush. Deku’s a cinnamon roll that must be protected.

Number 9: Cardcaptor Sakura.

God, I wish I could get those Clow/Sakura cards I keep seeing at ComicCon, but they’re so expensive. One day! This show’s really creative, and I love just how unique each card is in appearance and power. Not to mention, that theme song still kicks ass.

Number 8: Fullmetal Alchemist.

Oh, of course I love this anime. Who doesn’t?! I used to stay up to watch it. It’s just one of those amine you need to check out. I love both series. Ed and Al are best anime siblings and, just like everyone else, I was devastated by Hughes and traumatized by Nina and Alexander!

(laughs then sobs hysterically.)

DAMN YOU TUCKER, YOU RAT BASTARD!    

Number 7: Sgt Frog.

De arimasu!

De arimasu!

Where do I even being?

Space frog hijinks…that’s it. That’s the series. It’s a show about aliens that look like frogs trying to conquer Earth (oh, sorry, “Pekopon”) and failing in over-the-top, comedic fashions. It’s just comedic gold, and yet somehow still has its emotional moments.

That’s how you do silly comedy, Teen Titans Go!

Number 6: Ouran Highschool Host Club.

This one is a lot of fun. Just watching the antics of the club and their personalities work off each other always makes for a good time. There’s a reason the fans have been demanding a season two for the last… 13 years. Tamaki deserves the world!   

Number 5: Assassination Classroom.

How?! How is this show so good?! It’s about a group of kids trying to kill their octopus teacher! It has no business being this amazing! I knew how it would end and I still cried! KORO-SENSEI! It’s just a really, really good show.

…I miss you Koro-sensei.  

Number 4: Sailor Moon.

the sound of silence…and death

I’m going to get this out of the way now: Sailor Saturn is my favorite and best scout. Fight me. This was the first anime I really remember getting into and I still love it to this day. I mean how can I not? Its like the magical girl anime!

Number 3: Space Dandy.

boobies and booty baby!

He’s a dandy guy… in space! This is just criminally underrated. Seriously, this anime is awesome! And hilarious. And the animation and art are spectacular and…damn, it needs more love! I love Meow so much.  

Number 2: Fruits Basket.

This. Series. It’s just wonderful. The story, the characters, all of it. There’s just so much emotion; it manages to be happy and heartbreaking all at the same time. I can’t recommend it enough, and to say any more would wreck it.

And at Number 1: Digimon.

bada boom!

bada boom!

Weird choice? Maybe, but I really do love this anime. There’s no doubt that the third season, Tamers, is my favourite. It just keeps getting darker and darker… not to mention it gave us Impmon, my favorite character and probably the best character from the franchise. Yeah, maybe there are better anime, but Digimon will always have a place in my heart.

Well, that concludes not just this blog, but my blog in general. I have to say, it’s been an… interesting experience. Here’s hoping you found some enjoyment in my rambling.

Happy holidays!
