The Best Anime to Watch

 This week's anime is a 2014 romantic comedy!  The show follows high schooler Chiyo Sakura a girl who is head over heels for Umetarou Nozaki, who happens to be the author and artist of a popular  shojo  romance manga called Let's Fall in Love . Although, he uses a pen name "Sakiko Yumeno", so only a few people know that he's the author--it's not pretty common for a high school boy to be an author of a romance comic for young women. So, Chiyo tries to confess her love to him after school one day but he doesn't quite understand and instead gives her his autograph with the pen name. Confused at first, Chiyo asks if he is Sakiko Yumeno which he thought that she already knew. But to be far, the way Chiyo confessed her love, left a lot of room for misunderstanding. She also then agrees to follow Nozaki home thinking romantically, but ends up being his comic assistant since his deadlines are always tight. Thus begins all the continued misunderstandings between th

  This weeks anime is a supernatural, action, comedy show. This show is truly a gem and one of my personal all time favorites too! In Japanese culture, gods are very important to people, there are many different kinds like gods of fortune, gods of love, and so on. People pray to these gods and ask the for certain things because they represent what the person is in need of. Yato, one of the main characters is a god, but he isn't known by anyone at all. So with that, the story follows high schooler Hiyori Iki and her run in with this Yato god. Walking from school one day she sees him looking for his cat. He finds his cat in the street and Hiyori runs to the rescue since she sees a bus coming their way. She saves them but at the cost of her own safety. She ends up in the hospital so he thanks her but tells her the bus wouldn't have hit him since he's a supernatural being anyway. Yato then introduces himself as the God Yato, but Hiyori just thinks he's a weirdo. Since Yato

I had to include this 2006 classic mystery, psychological/supernatural thriller. I firmly believe Death Note is a strong anime for beginners. It has such a simple concept and builds on it so well giving you what is almost a masterpiece of a show. The story follows high schooler Light Yagami, an incredibly bored and bright student. He's a straight A student, does what he is told, and lives life completely mundane. He is walking home from school one day and stumbles across a notebook titled Death Note--a book dropped by a God of Death or as they call it, a Shinigami . He wasn't going to pick it up at first but his curiosity got the best of him. He is then followed by Ryuk , the Shinigami that dropped it. Little does he know that this Death Note is a form of mass genocide and destruction, but what can you expect when this thing comes straight from a Grim Reaper? You write someone's name inside, and they will die. But it obviously comes with certain rules that were actually nic

  This weeks anime is an adventure fantasy show. This 2011, extremely popular anime follows the story of 12 year old Gon Freecss who leaves his small town to become like his father by taking the Hunter Examination. There he meets his now best friends who also take the exam with him. Kurapika who takes the exam because he wants to avenge his dead clan from the Phantom Troupe . Leorio, who takes the exam to pay for medical school and receive all the benefits that being a Hunter gives you. Lastly, 12 year old Killua Zoldyck who takes the exam because he's tired of following his family's assassin life. Because this is a long running show--148 episodes--the story is split into various arcs, sections of the story that focus on a subplot that ultimately affect the entirety of the plot. So yes, these four characters are extremely important, but there are also  many  more that play a huge roll into shaping the story. We slowly get introduced to more characters throughout the arcs. The f
