Special A [Anime Discussion]

Title: Special A Sub or Dub?? Sub as always!! I was utterly horrified when I tried the dub :( Episodes: 24 episodes Manga: 17 volumes Where to watch: Hulu Genre: Drama, Romance, Comedy [About: Hikari Hanazono was the best at everything, so when she challenged Kei Takishima to a wrestling match, she naturally assumed she would win. She lost; he won, and the natural order was disrupted. Ever since Hikari’s entire life has been structured around beating Kei at SOMETHING. Try as she might, Hikari always comes up short. ] Would you guys be surprised if I told you I discovered this anime from watching some AMVs on YouTube?? It seems that happens a lot 😂 A couple things to keep in mind when watching this anime: Around the second or third episode, the anime started getting better art, just the first episode's art made me hiss like a cat :) This show honestly... is like  67% humor and 33% ''one-sided'' romance struggles. It's mean...

My Little Monster [Anime Discussion]

Title in English: My Little Monster Japanese title: Tonari no Kaibutsu-Kun DUB or SUB?? Sub definitely! Episodes: 13 + 1 OVA Where to watch it: Crunchyroll [About the Anime:   Impassive girl meets trouble maker in a brand new love story! After Mizutani Shizuku, a girl whose sole interest is studying, is asked to deliver some handouts to Yoshida Haru, a boy who hasn't come to school after spilling blood on the first day, she finds herself the target of his affection. This is a story about a boy and a girl who struggle with love and friendship. Opening yourself up to other people forces you to be honest with yourself. ] AHH!!!!  At first, this anime was just solely comedy to me, but then I got so attached to the characters and their issues and misunderstandings- and Oh. My. Mac & Cheese-  I couldn't stop. I actually cried, people! Because there was that much emotional turmoil for the characters to admit that they cared for each other, and ...

This post is specifically for bookish things a book lover would want- which I discovered this week at Literary Book Gifts .

Another [Anime Discussion]

    Follow me on BlogLovin! Who's ready for an ANIME Discussion?!?!?! *Raises both hands and waves them wildly* A couple weeks ago, someone (another anime lover) told me I couldn't sit through horror anime and he mentioned Another as the main one I wouldm't be able to watch. Of course, I took this as a challenge.   Now let me explain why this person said that, I typically watch and read all different kinds of genres- but usually people think I just watch the fantasy and romantic genre in anime (which is far from the truth my friends). So I sat down and watched Another . This anime is horror- though I would say it's got more gore, violence, and a goose-bump feeling that doesn't go away (especially when you watch the opening). Basically: A teenage boy moves to a new city, and attends the school his mother went to when she was in high school. Weird things begin to happen, and no one will tell him what's going on- until it's...

Boku no hero Academia [Anime Discussion]

 Follow me on BlogLovin! HELLO FROM THE ANIME SIDE!!!!!! IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME WITHOUT SUNLIGHT!!!!! (Dang it, that didn't rhyme...) It is time for an Anime Discussion!! Boku no hero academia (This is a poster in my room btw, it's right next to a Fullmetal Alchemist poster.) Anyways... I binge watched the first two seasons of Boku no hero academia with my brother, but now season 3 is out!! Sadly only one episode comes out every week :( But it's more none the less! I love love love this anime so much! This is me, while I watch it: ''My dweebie children!!" This anime takes place with people having evolved to where they have superpowers called 'Quirks'. There are people without quirks, but the majority of the population have them. And being a superhero is a dream that can truly be accomplished. Which is what our main character, Izuku Midoriya, wants to do. There were some characte...
