Been a while sense I really took the time to do a serous blog. I'm both out school, and work this week so I have plenty time now. During the past couple of months I devoted much of my spare time watching nothing but anime. Sacrificing much of my gaming and social life time. It was worth it because I seen a bunch of great new anime. Now that I have time to talk about it, I'll tell you about the five anime that are a must see.

1) Code Geass

The Demon and The Witch

Tv-14 Season One- 25 Ep Season Two 25 Ep

This one I became a fan of instantly. The show is full of intense action and very dark themes.

Plot:

On August 10, 2010, a.t.b., the Holy Empire of Britannia overpowered Japanese forces and conquered the country with their new robotic weapons, the Knightmare Frames, in less than a month. In the aftermath of Britannia's invasion, Japan lost its freedom, its rights, and even its name, becoming Area 11 of the Britannian Empire. The Japanese people, renamed as "Elevens", are forced to survive in poor neighborhoods, while Britannians live in first-settlements. Rebel elements persist, however, as pockets of Japanese organizations struggle against the Empire for the independence of Japan.

After his father, the Emperor of Britannia, failed to prevent the assassination of his mother, an attack which also left his sister blind and crippled, the young prince Lelouch vowed to destroy Britannia. Seven years later, he accidentally becomes mixed up with "terrorists" in Area 11 and encounters a mysterious girl named C.C., who gives him the power of Geass. With it, he finally has the power that he needs to defeat Britannia and fulfill his two wishes: to seek revenge for his mother and to construct a world in which his beloved sister Nunnally can live happily.

2) Fate Stay Night

Saber

Tv-14 Season One 24 EP

I really like this one because of its story and characters are something I never seen before.

Plot:

For the past two centuries, seven sorcerers have gathered and engage in a Battle Royale, each gambling his or her own life to obtain the Holy Grail, a legendary chalice capable of granting wishes. Each of the sorcerers, better known as Masters, is aided by one of the seven summoned spiritual familiars known as Servants, who are the reincarnations of legendary souls from all across time. Only one Servant can be summoned in each war from one of seven c l a s s e s: Saber, Archer, Lancer, Berserker, Rider, Assassin, and Caster.

3) Black Lagoon

Black Lagoon

TV-MA Season One 12 Ep Season Two 12 Ep

A kick in the face series, Black Lagoon won't let you go until your nothing more than a bloody pulp.

Plot:

The story follows a team of pirates/mercenaries known as Lagoon Company, who smuggle goods in and around the seas of Southeast Asia in the 1990s Their base of operations is located in the fictional city of Roanapur in Thailand, and they transport goods in the PT boat Black Lagoon. When on land, they move around and conduct business using Benny's 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T (with a '69 Plymouth Roadrunner side-scoop induction hood). Lagoon Company does business with various clients, but has a particularly friendly relationship with the Russian crime syndicate Hotel Moscow. The team takes on a variety of missions-which may involve violent firefights, hand-to-hand combat, and nautical battles-in various Southeast Asian locations and when not doing much, the members of the Lagoon Company spend much of their down time at The Yellow Flag, a bar in Roanapur.

4) Lucky Star

Star Power

TV-PG Season One 24 Ep

The very goofy show is not only funny, but very educational.

Plot:

Lucky Star's story portrays the lives of several girls attending a Japanese high school named Ryōō with a very loose sense of humor. The setting is mainly based on the city of Kasukabe in Saitama Prefecture. The main character is Konata Izumi, an athletic and intelligent girl who, despite these attributes, is not in a sports club and has to resort to all-nighter cramming for tests. Her laziness at school is due to her love for anime and video games and lack of interest in anything else. The serialization began with the four main characters in their first year of high school: Konata Izumi, Kagami Hiiragi, Tsukasa Hiiragi, and Miyuki Takara. As the story progresses, they move on to their second and third years. However, the anime starts the story with them beginning their second year. The storyline usually includes numerous references to popular past and present manga and anime series.

5) Soul Eater

TV-14 Season One 51 Ep

My favorite anime show so far. The show has alot of s t y l e and alot of heart. Must see for anime fans

Plot:

Soul Eater primarily revolves around students meisters at the Shinigami Weapon Meister Vocational School , or Shibusen for short, located in the fictional Death City, in Nevada, United States. The school is run by Shinigami, the God of Death himself, as a training facility for weapons and the human wielders of those weapons, the meisters. Each meister has at least one demon weapon companion which has both a weapon and human form. Shinigami created the school as an organization that enforces peace in order to prevent the rebirth of the "kishin" the evil demon god that nearly destroyed everything by plunging the world into chaos. Human souls that have become evil by straying from the path of humans have a high risk of becoming kishin, so evil humans are constantly being hunted down and killed by the students trained at Shibusen. The ultimate goal of the students with their weapons is to have their weapons defeat and absorb the souls of ninety-nine evil humans and one witch

Note: If your interested in watching any of these anime I can send you a link to site where you can watch them.

I watched an episode of black lagoon and it was f*cked up (Which I loved) very edgy. two psychopathic kids killing people and all kinds of twisted stuff and they are killed brutally on screen which I appreciate, too many shows are so darn scared to be this brutal. I enjoyed some of soul Eater but couldnt stand most of the characters especially the cliche blue haired naruto wannabe I hate him.
