Long Running Anime Series?!

Published June 8, 2015 by Shay Taree

So todaY’s post is on the more normal side haha but my question is what is your thoughts on long running anime’s?

When I mean long running anime’s I mean any anime that has been going on for years.  So I mean anime’s such as Bleach, Naruto,  One Piece,  or Gintama.

  
My thoughts on long running anime is that I do like them and have found many of the series facinating and interesting. But I do feel that long running anime series can be daunting and also that the storyline may start to get stale. 

  
Now the reason why I say it can be daunting is because I find if there is a lot of episodes it can feel like a chore to start watching it especially if its still producing more episodes. Now as far as the storyline is concerned for some series it can become the same concept for each arc of the series where there is a new bad guy to fight and the main character is at first too weak to win then they go through intense training to prepare for the fight. 

But what do you think of long running anime series. Comment down below to let me know.

Favorite Random Anime Pairing?

Published June 5, 2015 by Shay Taree

So what I mean by random anime pairing is a pairing that isn’t in the actual fandom but one that you like that may or may not work. 

I can’t lie I have a few but one of my favorites is Sesshomaru and Kagome from Inuyasha.

  
I know that Kagome is supposed to be with Inuyasha but for some reason I really like this pairing. 

How I came to like this pairing is actually through fanfiction and I just happened to read a fanfic with those two as the main characters and the pairing. I know that Sesshomaru and Kagome are a weird pairing but for some reason it just works and I think it would happen if Kagome and Inuyasha didn’t work out. 

  
So what is your favorite random anime pairing? Comment down below to let me know what it is and why.  Also I would love to know how you came to like this pairing.

If Anime Became Mainstream?

Published June 3, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I know that there are some anime’s that have broken through that obscure barrier and have become mainstream shows. Shows such as Bleach, Naruto, Pokemon, and Dragon Ball Z. But what would happen if anime as a whole became mainstream? 

  
I mean if anime started airing on the major network channels and airing during prime times and not just at night I think it would be awesome. I think it would give more people the chance to know what anime was about and it would get rid of those assumptions (possibly) that anime is only for kids. 

  
Anime should be mainstream considering that there are now so many shows that have a huge following that are considered nerdier  shows. Sorry I couldn’t think of a better way to phrase but I’ve just been noticing that uprising of shows that seem to cater to an audience that is more on the nerdier or dorkier side. Plus I love it and I think its time that anime made its debut in a primetime slot. I’m so tired of anime seeming to be something that has to be hidden and I think its time for everyone to enjoy it. 

So do you think its time for anime to become  mainstream? Also what do you think would happen of it did?  Or do you think anime shouldn’t be mainstream. Comment down below because I can’t wait to read what you all have to say.

Romantic Drama or Romantic Comedy? 

Published June 1, 2015 by Shay Taree

As many of you may or may not know I love my share of romantic anime but I would like to know which do you prefer when it comes to romance.  Romantic drama or romantic comedy.  

Now I do like romantic dramas 

  
because the drama is what keeps the show interesting and at times will keep me watching.  But there to me can be too much drama where it just goes completely overboard and this I don’t like. 

My definite pick though has to go to romantic comedies. 

  
I don’t know why but the comedic nature of the show paired with romance always makes it interesting. Also I don’t know what it is but with romantic comedy anime’s it just relaxes me. 

So which do you like better. Comment down below to let me know!  Can’t wait to read your responses.

What Does Anime Mean To You? 

Published May 28, 2015 by Shay Taree

We all have our own reasons for liking anime and I would love to know why. What anime means to me is an escape from the real world for just a little bit and a time for me to unwind. 

It also helps me to explore what I like and enjoy and also to be more creative if I come up with an idea or something from an anime. 

Anime is just something that I overall enjoy and love to see others enjoy.  I love the community it has introduced me to and the friends I’ve made while watching it.  Also I know this sounds strange but it also helped me to be myself.  

Now what does anime mean to you?  I would love to know and I can’t wait to read all your answers.

Most Underrated Anime Couple! 

Published May 27, 2015 by Shay Taree

Alright so since yesterday I did most overrated couple you know I had to ask about the most underrated couple today. 

So my most underrated couple actually has to be Ryuuji and Taiga from the show Toradora. 

  
I know that many people have seen this show and its been very talked about since the romance in it is just amazing.  But I just feel like this couple and their story isn’t celebrated enough. 

I feel like Ryuuji and Taiga are underrated because they are outshined by other couples from more mainstream anime shows.  Like for example Naruto and Hinata from well Naruto. But Ryuuji and Taiga’s love story is like a love/hate story tsince they started off hating each other but since they both had someone that they wanted they decided to work together.  Then along the way they fell for each other. 

  
It was just a great story and they could definitely be one of the couples that people love. Plus their kissing scene was amazing and oh so sweet! 

  
But who do you think is the most underrated anime couple?  Comment down below with your aanswer and why.  I can’t wait to read them.

Most Overrated Anime Pairing? 

Published May 26, 2015 by Shay Taree

So while I love this pairing with all my heart I have to say it’s Ichigo and Rukia from Bleach. 

  
Okay now before I get some angry comments I know that they aren’t an actual couple but I want them to be a couple. Plus I feel they are apart of the biggest feud between Bleach fans which is would Ichigo be with Orihime or Rukia.

  
But the reason why I find this pairing to be overrated even though I love it is because they aren’t an actual couple. Even though many of them wish they were and hope that by the end of the series they are together but at this point and time they aren’t. 

Also I guess the other reason why I find this pairing overrated is because I guess Bleach is now an overrated show and manga. The show dragged out for a long time and I know many people lost interest in it. I still read the manga and it is getting very good but it also has kind of dragged out. 

So what anime pairing do you find to be overrated? Comment down below and let me know and also let me know what you thought of the pairing I chose.

Anime Memorial Day Post! 😄😆

Published May 25, 2015 by Shay Taree

Since its Memorial Day today and ally of BBQ’s are going on I wanted to know what top 5 anime characters would you invite to a BBQ.

My top 5 are:

1. Makoto from Sailor Moon 

  
because she can definitely cook and I would need someone to cook all that food!

2. Usage from Sailor Moon 

  
would also have to be there because I need someone to help me eat all that food plus she would provide great conversations.

3. Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho, 

  
even though Hiei can be kind of mean and brooding you always need to have someone that doesn’t want to join in but joins in in the end.

4. Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club. 

  
This is because Tamaki is so funny and he would provide some great comedy with all his antics.

5. Then last but not least would be Kagami from Kuroko’s Basketball 

  
because he would provide great competition for all the activities that would be going on.

So what are your top 5 anime characters you would invite to a BBQ. Comment down below and let me know.

Most Underrated Anime Character?

Published May 21, 2015 by Shay Taree

Now that I asked about the most overrated character what about the most underrated character. I know that I have two and that’s Chad from Bleach and Mori from Ouran High School Host Club.

I say Chad from Bleach because he is just an awesome character. While he didn’t have the most awesome power he was definitely there for his friends. I also would love to know more about his backstory.

  
Now the reason why I chose Mori from Ouran High School Host Club. I chose him because Mori was mostly in the background in most the episodes and he didn’t say much but he still had his purpose. I would have also liked to know more about his backstory and why he is so quiet. Also I kind of wished he would have ended up with Haruhi. 

  
But who is the most underrated character for you? Comment down below and let me know who and why?

Most Overrated Anime Character

Published May 20, 2015 by Shay Taree

Now we have all seen people ask about the most overrated show that they have seen but I want to take it a step further and ask what anime character do you feel is the most overrated. Now I definitely have mine and I hate to break a few hearts or get people mad but mine it Levi from Attack On Titan!

  
I know I know that people want to probably beat me up right now but let me explain why I feel he is so overrated! Yes I agree that Levi can be cool, awesome, and he does have his funny moments but he isn’t what I thought he was going to be.

  
Before I had watched Attack On Titan all I heard about was this character Levi so I was thinking that he was the main character but it turns out he wasn’t a main character and wasn’t even in the series until about almost halfway through. It really made me wonder why did people like him so much. I liked Mikasa more than anything but that is another story!

Anyways hearing a lot about Levi got me interested in the show but once I watched it I was kind of disappointed. I don’t know maybe it’s just me but I find Levi to be overrated and please don’t hate me for this it is purely my opinion.

Now like always I extend the question to you! What character do you find overrated? Comment down below your answers and also if you disagree with my answer I would like to hear that as well. Let me know what you saw that I didn’t. Thanks again!
