Who’s Your Anime BFF?

Published May 11, 2015 by Shay Taree

i don’t know about everyone else but I would love if I could have an anime character as my best friend! But have you thought about who it would be?

Well I thought long and hard about mine and I honestly think my anime BFF would be Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon. 

  
I think we would have lots of fun just hanging out and going on lots of different adventures although I would have to make her study from time to time. 

But who would be your anime BFF and why? Comment down below and let me know! I can’t wait to read all your comments!

Anime You Expected Not To Enjoy But Did?

Published May 8, 2015 by Shay Taree

I know that many of us have gone in expecting one thing but then completely end up with something else. Many of us go in expecting not to enjoy a specific anime whether it’s because of the art style, genre, or even just the story line. But many times regardless of these things you end up being pleasantly surprised to realize you enjoyed it a lot. 

The show that did this for me is actually now one of my favorites that I can watch over and over again. That show is Ouran High School Host Club. 

  
At first I had actually dropped the show a few minutes into the first episode but then maybe a few months later after hearing a lot about the show I decided to give it another chance and I throughally enjoyed it!

So what show did you expected not to enjoy but you did? Comment down below and let me know!

Anime Hairstyles!

Published May 7, 2015 by Shay Taree

Yes I am doing a post about anime hairstyles since I know that many of us have found them not only cute but also just amazing. Plus besides Disney, anime has given me some unrealistic but also fun ways to try and do my hair.

  
So using the term unrealistic isn’t a bad thing so don’t get mad at me its just my way of saying that my hair doesn’t do what their hair does in the show. My hair is naturally thick so I straighten is chemically and it’s not super long. But I still try to do a few or I at least want to.

  
But how about everyone else? What do you think of anime hair and have you every tried doing the styles that are in the shows? Let me know your experience and what you think my commenting below.

What Do You Think Of Simulcasting Anime?

Published May 6, 2015 by Shay Taree

So this question was asked by Takuto’s Anime Cafe and just to clarify what was meant by this question is what do I think of simulcasting as a whole.

  
To be honest I do like simulcasting anime since it serves it’s purpose of anime fans all over the world being able to enjoy what they love the same time as people in Japan get to experience it.

Now for me how I watch anime is that I love to binge watch my anime. This is mostly because I don’t like waiting each week or every other week in some cases for a new episode. Now there is one anime that I am watching while it’s airing and that’s Sailor Moon Crystal 

  
but I’ve learned that I don’t like it that much. This is mostly because I tend to forget that an episode is airing on that day due to everyday life and plus for me I don’t get the connection with the series like I do when I’m able to watch it straight through. I know that sounds crazy trust me I know.

But what do you think of simulcasting anime? Do you enjoy watch anime every week as it is airing or are you like me and enjoy binge watching your anime once it’s finished? Comment down below and let me know!

Sailor Moon Crystal Episode 21 Review! 

Published May 5, 2015 by Shay Taree
I can’t believe that we are already on episode 21 of Sailor Moon Crystal and this weeks episode gave us quite a bit of back story on both the Black Moon Kingdom and on Chibi-Usa. 
The episode starts off with the kidnapping of Usagi by Prince Demande and her waking up in their hideout. 
  
There Prince Demande explains how he and his allies discovered Nemesis and why they are using the power of the Black Crystal. The he kisses Usagi which was just so wrong. 
  
Back with our heroes they are trying to figure out how best to rescue Usagi and Chibi-Usa’s past is revealed. She can’t use the Legendary Silver Crystal and she is 900 years old! What!!!! But Chibi-Usa also explains why she took to the Crystal and it was because she was being bullied. She also believes that all of this is her fault because she took the Crystal. 
  
Also in this episode we catch a small glimpse of the rest of the kidnapped Sailor Scouts. Which I absolutely loved and I hope they are back for more in the next episode. Also since the episode ended with Chibi-Usa being influenced by Wiseman I can sense that Black Lady is going to be making an appearance soon.
  
I give this weeks episode a 8/10 mostly due to the backstory that was explained in this weeks episode. There wasn’t a lot of action but I still enjoyed it and I definitely look forward to the next episode. But what did everyone else think of this episode? Comment below and let me know!

Friends & Anime 😄😆

Published May 4, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I know that this title sounds strange but I wanted to know how your friends feel about anime in general. Do they watch it? Do they not understand it completely? 

I know I posted about family before when it came to anime but I’m not sure if I included friends. If I didn’t please continue reading and of I did well please continue to read anyway. 

For me at least I have a group of friends that are into anime and really enjoy it and then I have another group of friends which I have known much longer that aren’t really into it. 

The ones that are into it I completely nerd out with and we can literally talk about anime all day!!! 

  
My other group of friends though just kind of look at me like I’m crazy when it comes to anime so I’m definitely the nerd one in the group. Don’t worry it doesn’t bother me at all.

Now my group of friends that aren’t into anime do know that I like it and they kind of understand it but their anime doesn’t go beyond Pokemon and the original Sailor Moon series. For a long time though I didn’t really show them just how much I like anime until probably when I got into college and it’s mostly because I that point I stopped caring about how people thought about me and just was myself. They don’t make fun of me for it they just don’t understand my fascination with it.

  
So I now extend the questions to everyone else! What do your friends think of anime? Are your friends into it or are you like me and have a group of friends that love it and a group of friends that don’t understand it? Leave your comments below and let me know. 

Also thank you everyone for your input on my last post I loved reading the suggestions I got. If you have more you can send them to my kik if you have one which is ShayChan08 or you can email them to me at animereviewergirl@gmail.com.

First Anime That Made You Cry?

Published May 1, 2015 by Shay Taree

Many of us have seen anime’s that have made us cry for example Clannad, Angel Beats, and Anohana. But can you remember the first one?

I remember that the first anime I ever cried during was one the last episode of the 1st season of Sailor Moon. It was when they were fighting Queen Beryl and all the other Sailor Scouts had been defeated and Serena was all alone. 

  
It just broke my heart and I was balling my eyes out. Also I was 8 years old at the time. But even today when I’ve gone back and watched the episode it has made me kind of tear up and revert back to that 6 year old girl when I watched my first anime.

So share your stories down below of the first anime you’ve ever cried on. I would love to know and like always I will comment back!

Reading The Manga Before Watching The Anime? 

Published April 30, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I know that the title of today’s post doesn’t make the best sense but please hold on because I will explain it. What I mean by the title is does reading the manga before watching the anime make you not as invested in the anime? 

Now for me it kind of does just because then if I’ve read the manga and then go watch the anime I don’t pay as much attention because I know what is going to happen. Therefore I tend to zone out more and not watch it as intently as I would if I hadn’t read the manga.

A few examples I can give for me is Kuroko’s Basketball 

  
and Bleach. 

  
Both shows I really like but once I started reading the manga for both and then watching the series I didn’t pay attention to it as much. Right now the 3rd season of Kuroko’s Basketball is airing and while I do love the show I haven’t been watching it every week like I thought I would and when I do watch it I don’t watch it like I did the first 2 seasons because I already know what’s going to happen.

That’s why now I don’t really read the manga of an anime until either I finish the anime or if the manga is still continuing even though the anime has finished airing.

Do this happen to anyone else? Do you prefer to watch the anime first and then read the manga or vice versa? Comment down below I would love to know.

New Dragon Ball Z Anime In July! 😆

Published April 29, 2015 by Shay Taree

So I know that many of you have heard about the new Dragon Ball Z anime that is coming out in July! I am on the fence about this and let me tell you why!

On one side I’m very excited since there hasn’t been a new Dragon Ball Z series in 18 years. Plus it’s a continuation and not a reboot so it will be interesting to see what happens. Also it raises a few questions such as is the artistic style going to change because since it is a new era when it comes to anime it would be neat to see our favorite characters with new looks. Also how long will the anime be?

  
Now for the other side I’m slightly apprehensive about this just because of the hassle that has happened with Sailor Moon Crystal. 

  
I understand that Sailor Moon Crystal is just following the original manga this time but it’s not considered a reboot of the original so it’s an original in its own right. I’m just scared that when the new Dragon Ball Z series comes out it won’t live up to the hype surrounding the show. I mean while Sailor Moon Crystal has been a good series so far many would agree that it could have been done better. 

So those are my thoughts so far on the announcement of this new Dragon Ball Z series. But what do you all think of the annoucement? I would love to read your thoughts. So comment down below and I will comment back!
