Some of the fanbase can be...extremely eccentric, to say the least. However, even with the knowledge of those fans, I was able to enjoy what I have seen perfectly fine, so I'm glad I gave it a chance.

Straight from the (Tumblr Super High School Level Blog) fans' mouths:

Who knew that an anime that features a cross dresser, a maid, and a lesbian set in a catholic school could be so entertaining?

My friend just lent me yet another Vagabond book. This series is a seriously good read and the art is fantastic. I would suggest that anyone interested in the history of Japan or samurais in general, read this shit.

Oh yes! I should get back to reading Vagabond as it's a fantastic manga series and there's careful detail put into the art. Musashi may be a prick at times, but he's so entertaining to see and develop.

This December, I'm going to tackle the beast known as Sailor Moon with the new anime coming out and all. The manga is well received and I actually can't wait to see this project!

I'm really sad that Naruto might be coming to an end soon, because it's the only anime that I have watched since the start, but on the other hand I think it's ending at the right time.

Dude that anime has been going on forever I remember watching that back in middle school, it kinda needs to end already.

FINALLY the Bleach manga reached the end of Aizen's story arc here. Felt like it was taking forever. Now that it got it's anticlimactic ending I can finally stop reading them. No, I don't care about the fact that it continues afterwards, for me it's over.

Oh sweet! Will this be a remake or a new "season", though? Because I'll watch it if it's a remake but I'm too out of loop if it's a sequel.

I know, I'm just sayin' that it needs to end, with an emphasis on the needs.

Now and Then, Here and Again is a beautiful and well crafted show that I just came back from finishing. Never boring and always engaging, this series has a very serious tone through the whole story of this ravaged earth teared apart by war and by the main antagonist, Hamdo. The execution and cinematography of the show is fantastic and makes the series worthwhile.

The characters are all likable, with the always optimistic Shu being the main protagonist who remains the hope and light for many of the other characters who have had terrible things happen to them. The rest of the cast consists of some soilders and villagers that appear in the second half, all who are a joy to watch. Of course, this also makes some of the scenes tear jerking worthy as you start to become attached to them and feel sympathy for everything they have had to go through.

At the same time, some of the characters are what hurts the series, or to be more specific, the lack of justification with some of the characters.

With such a serious and well executed show, you would believe there to be some sort of theme, right? Through the whole show, I never felt that the show was trying to tell me anything, and was just showing me the ugliness of war and the effect it could have on people and their rash actions. After finishing the last episode however, I believe I may have found something close. It's so simple and basic, yet I think it's something I can believe and something that doesn't hurt the the show.

Overall, fantastic show that's only 13 episodes and something that I could definitely recommend.

Hmm... I have never heard of that one before, I might have to try that one out!

Just finished the 4th episode of Attack on Titan. I think I like it, even if the main character's starting to develop the drive of a full blow psychopath.
