I am sure I've mentioned this before, but I tend to drink sake when watching anime, usually not on weekdays though. And popcorn. I love me some popcorn whenever I am watching anything I find entertaining, be it anime or anything else.
(simple short answer.)

Re: AP 694 - Pity
I'm going to focus my response on anime series , rather than movies, because nearly every anime movie has a lot of drama, especially the Ghibli or Shinkai productions. I consider those a given. One of the earliest memorable and still lingering times that I felt my heart strings pulled due to pity or...

Re: AP 692 - Bad Character Arcs
There's just too many disappointing characters in general in anime and entertainment media at large. The worst offenses, however are those where a character shows such potential for character growth and/or story advancement, but fail to follow through on that potential. Again, there are too many to ...

Re: AP 693 - Seito Kaichō
All I can think of are near-villainesses in anime that tend to capture my heart, not that they're necessarily good people, or even make good leaders, but because they're, well, ... hot . Like Mari Kurihara from Prison School (Hepburn: Purizun Sukūru ). She starts as the chief adversary in the first ...

Re: AP 681 - Character Arcs
Ooooh, good question. While there are anime I consider to be great anime and my favorites, and while nearly all of them have great stories, not _all_ of them rely on the development of the characters as the central part of their plots. Many anime/media feature action and events of an epic nature, bu...

Re: AP 690 - Best Couples
TOO many to list, and too many to choose from. I can't choose any singular series in particular. But I will just say there are many stories in anime where the the relationship is with one or more broken people, or where a character has no business being involved in any romantic entanglements. You al...

Re: AP 689 - "Friendship" Chocolates
Wow, too many to list... I'm going to keep it simple and go with the first character that I thought of when it comes to a perfect romantic lead in an anime series, Mai Sakurajima from Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai (" Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpa i")....

Re: AP 688 - Best Villain Protags
Wow, there are a lot of these in Anime. And I'm not even counting the "good-guy criminals" or the antiheroes. There are some serious villains whose stories revolve around them, making them the protagonist of said story. There is Ainz Ooal Gown, the titular MC for the series Overlord . Ther...

Re: AP 687 - Favorite Families in Anime
This was actually a tougher question than it should be. When I reflect on the "families" in most anime, all we tend to see are broken or incomplete familial situations which are most often weak contrivances to facilitate a situation for the story's premise. At best, Mom and or Dad are miss...

Re: AP 686 - Winter 2021 Anime!
Obviously, we're continuing to watch Attack on Tiitan , final season ( Shingeki no Kyojin ), since it has finally gotten out of its initial doldrums and kicked into high gear. So far this is shaping up to be a really good one. Likewise, we're watching the latest installment of Re:Zero , because it t...
