Has Anime Affected You In Real Life?

Published September 21, 2015 by Shay Taree

So what I mean here is has anime ever made you feel in such a way that it has made you think or do something different in your actual life.

For me I can honestly say that it has. It may not be anything super crazy or awesome but it’s still something that is special to me.

One of the things that anime has done is it has made me in someways more confidant in myself. This isn’t saying that other factors weren’t involved but anime was definitely apart of them.

Anime also made me put a lot of things in perspective. Some were simple like putting my family first

and enjoying my friends.

But another was jut simply enjoying the time I have now and not worrying about things that haven’t happened yet.

But those are only a few of the ways that anime has affected me and I’m sure that there will be many more.

So know I extend the same question to all of you. Has anime ever affected you in your real life? This could be anything from making you want to do something to just making you feel a different way. I can’t wait to read your comments.

Fairy Tail 1st Series Anime Review

Published July 20, 2015 by Shay Taree

Okay I know that I am quite late when it comes to finishing this series but what can I say I had been watching dub and didn’t want to have to watch the series subbed.
But anyway for those of you who have not seen or Fairy Tail series or know what it’s about here is the synopsis:

“Set in an imaginary world, the Earth Land, there exists a Mage Guild called “Fairy Tail.” Fairy Tail is stationed in the town Magnolia, residing in the Kingdom of Fiore, and is currently governed by Makarov, Guild’s master.

Lucy Heartfilia, a 17-year-old girl, wishes to become a full-fledged mage and join one of the most prestigious Mage Guilds in the world, Fairy Tail.

One day, out of pure coincidence, she meets Natsu Dragneel, a boy who is transportation-sick, but very cheerful in nature. However, the thing she does not know is that Natsu is the closest connection to Fairy Tail, as he is a Mage in Fairy Tail.”

This show was actually really fun to watch! Even though when it comes to long shows there were of course a few filler episodes but they honestly weren’t that bad. They actually were pretty entertaining and quite funny!

Now as far as characters are concerned you have Lucy and Natsu who are easily the 2 main characters oh and I also can’t forget Natsu’s cat Happy! Now as far as Lucy is concerned I actually really like her. She definitely isn’t the strongest but during a few fights in the series she can totally hold her own.

Now Natsu is definitely the hot head in the group and is the first one to go into a fight but that’s what makes him Natsu and makes him very funny!

There are definitely a crazy host of characters in this show and I totally can’t name them all but they all have distinct personalities that make them a wonderful addition to the show.

The music of this show was amazing and there are several openings and endings that I ended up having to download because they were so good.

The only downside to this series was some of the fillers and also the same old same old when it comes to battles. One this I will say is that they ended the first series really well with a completion of a battle but also with some intrigue as to what is going to happen next.

Overall I give The 1st Fairy Tail series a 7/10. It was definitely excited with a few lulls here and there! But for those of you who have watched Fairy Tail or are currently watching it, what did you think of it? Next I’m going to watch the Fairy Tail movie so expect a review on that soon!

Since there are conventions that go on all the time and also since I want to go to another one really badly it made me think of my first and only con experience.

The first anime convention I went to was Fanime Con in San Jose California. I had just graduated from college and it was a gift to myself. I went with a group of friends that had went last year and it was amazing! I had so much fun and bought so many things.

I went to a few panels and was able to see so many amazing cosplays and it made me want to cosplay the next time I went to a con. Now this was the only convention that I’ve gone to so far but it was definitely a great experience.

But what was everyone else first convention like and what was your favorite part? I would love to know! So comment down below and like always I will answer back!

Anime That Left A Lasting Impression? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Published March 10, 2015 by Shay Taree

So this was an interesting topic that I thought up and that was what anime left a lasting impression on you. Now you take this question and interpret it as anything you like. It could be anything from how it made you think, which anime can always make you happy, an anime that made you look at yourself different, etc.

Now for me the anime that had a lasting impression on me definitely has to be a tie between Sailor Moon and Death Note. Sailor Moon because it taught me a lot about friendship, being brave, and standing up for the things you believe in. Also it’s an anime that is very nostalgic for me so it always takes me back to my childhood and I know that it can make me happy.

The other one Death Note left a lasting impression on me because it showed me that even people who are trying to do good can get corrupted by the power that they have. It was an amazing anime that showed me that not everyone has the best intentions and it also showed me that sometimes you can start off trying to do one thing but then things can drastically change that can deviate you from your goal that you had in place before.

But what about all of you? I’m sure there is an anime or Anime’s that have left a lasting impression on you and I would love to know what they are and why. Comment down below and like always I will also ways answer back because I love the conversations that start.

Here are the answer to the questions! So I only answered one of the listed questions for the people Ingot nominated by because I wasn’t able to do both. But here they are!

1) What inspired you to start a blog?

Well I guess what inspired me is by watching YouTube. There are several different channels that I watch and a majority of them aren’t anime related. But one of them got started by writing a blog so I thought what would I like to write about that is my hobby.

2) What was your first anime?

My first anime was Sailor Moon. I remember coming home from school when I was in elementary school and watching it while eating my afternoon snack.

3) If you could cosplay any anime character (assume crafting skill and money are not an issue), who would you choose?

I would have to choose Yoruichi from Bleach. I just think she is an awesome character and I love her looks.

4) Apart from reviewing anime, what are some of your hobbies?

Well my other hobby is reading fanfiction as well as reading other books. But I also really like makeup. I love to try out different looks and experiment with different colors. While I’m not the best at it I still love to experiment with it.

5) If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?

I would go to Japan. It’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit!

6) Which was the saddest anime you’ve ever watched

That has to be Anohana because it had me crying on the first episode!

7) The funniest anime?

Definitely Shin Chan! That’s one anime that has had me laughing out loud all the time.

8) If you could star in any anime, which anime would you choose?

I would definitely have to say Pokemon. I think it would be really cool to be able to travel with my friends and also be able to catch Pokemon who would be my friends as well.

9) If you could take any anime character out on a date, who would you pick?

That is such a hard question but I guess I would have to choose Sesshomaru from Inuyasha. I just think he is just so cute!!!

10) If you could have any career in the world, what would you want to do?

I would love to be an actress!

11) What is a goal you wish to accomplish this year?

The goal I wish to accomplish this year is to start a successful YouTube channel.

Published January 17, 2015 by Shay Taree

Day 15: Favorite Anime Sidekick, Pet Or Summoning From Any Anime

My favorite animal sidekick would have to be happy from Fairy Tail! He is really funny so he has great comedic timing but he can also be brave.

There are times where he helps put Lucy and helps out Natsu. Plus he is very loyal and can be very protective of Carla. I also really loved his speech when they were in Edolas!

So that is the end of day 15 of the 30 day anime challenge. Let me know who your favorite anime sidekick is in the comments below.

Happy Watching ~ Anime Reviewer Girl
