Ao Haru Ride

Summary 

Futaba Yoshioka was an extremely cute girl that every guy liked in middle school. However she discovered that other girls disliked her because of this calling her fake and pretending to act cute. In high school Futaba changes her attitude by acting boyish keeping the guys away from her. Everything was going well until she sees a guy that resembles her middle school crush, Kou Mabuchi. Unlike the kind, gentle boy she fell in love with in middle school she Kou now has a different name and is extremely rude to her. However she cannot stay away and the two grow closer with their other classmates. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I usually don't read shoujo manga but this was sooooooooo adorable. I think I cried at multiple parts and awwwwwed too much at the adorableness. The manga has also been adapted to an anime but I read the manga which had more romantic scenes.

Making a shoujo manga enjoyable means creating characters that the reader can fall in love with. Futaba is extremely caring and dense at times and paired up with Kou's cold honest tone makes them such an adorable couple. The manga goes through many cliches such as, another girl trying to steal the guy away, trying to fall in love with someone else, etc. but seeing two characters you enjoy watching going through their struggles makes it more interesting.

You can tell Kou warming up to Futaba and regaining his lost feelings as she heals him, always being there to comfort him.


The art style is amazing too, it creates a great atmosphere and the design for them main characters are simple but outstanding. I don't want to spoil too much so READ THE MANGA IT'S ADORABLE.

ALSO DAMN KOU DAMN

Naruto

By now you should notice that there is an otaku who is crazy about anime but talks like a normal person and then there's that other person whofangirls over anime in all her posts... I'M THE FANGIRL WOOHOO! If you thought we had multiple personalities... seriously?

ANYWAY, I was watching Naruto and I was like what the heck is this? It's soooooo boring... BUT I was so wrong. After the anime, I just started the manga because the anime was taking too long (like seriously, the whole is about Naruto getting Sasuke back...)

The manga was like BAM is my mind like WTH WHY IS NARUTO ENDING NOW!?!?!? I rainbow barfed in my mind! The whole thing is about Naruto chasing after Sasuke, yeah, but Naruto and his sad moments where he's all alone and suffering makes my eyes rain like really? Nruto is such a sweet person and all he wants is Sasuke, his one true friend that is his nakama (go tha from One Piece) BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP.

Naruto also has this nine tailed fox inside him which is why everyone stays away from him since the nine tailed fox almost destroyed the whole town until it was locked away in Naruto's body by the hokage. (The nine-tailed fox is in the right upper hand corner)

And Sasuke and his feud with his brother is so cuteeee, like I can see that brotherly love and (SPOILER) when Sasuke's brother died by Sasuke's hands, CRY SOB SNIFFLE SNORT in that order. SO TOUCHING and when Sasuke's brother is revived and Sasuke finds him, THE SUSPENSE.

There's also really funny stuff iin this amnga/anime where Naruto kisses Sasuke by accident and Sakura gets mad jealous like lol, Naruto is always one step ahead of Sakura. It's pretty sad how Sakura never loves Naruto back but NARUTO IS STRONG... HE DOESN'T NEED THAT PINK HAIRED GIRL

Overall, this anime is more about action, building up power to have more action, and action with suspenseful music. Oh, and I almost forgot friendship and comedy.

OMG LOOK AT THOSE SEXY EYES

HUNTERXHUNTER

SUMMARY - Young Gon leaves Whale Island to take the annual Hunter Exam, the exam makes you a hunter with many advantages. He creates great friends on the way and one of them ends up being his best friend and companion for the rest of the anime. Killua and Gon travel together through different arcs with the ultimate goal to find Gon's dad who is one of the world's best hunter.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I WISH THE AUTHOR WOULD CONTINUE THE MANGA---
HunterxHunter is great for anyone who likes anime about adventure and friendship
I personally think that Gon and Killua have one of the best anime friend relationships, they're perfect for each other because of their personalities.

OMG GON AND KILLUA ARE FOREVER TOGETHER (I'm not usually the type for yaoi, but they are totally a couple :P )


The arcs are well put together because of the nice transitions, they easily go from one arc to the next by slowly giving information about the next arc. There's always so much to the story to think about.
The anime is also really realistic, the main characters often don't win against other opponents. They lost several times before finally winning.

Side Note-KILLUA IS ADORABLE!!! He can be strong but gentle and then be smart and calculating. GODS SPEED

All the characters are enjoyable to root for, even Gon's dad

If there was one thing they could improve was the narrating in the Chimera Ant arc. The narrating did tell me a lot about what the characters were thinking but it seemed to distract me from the actual story. It dragged out all the battles in the end, but the characters were so well made that I couldn't hate the main antagonist either.

Yona of the Dawn

Summary- Yona was a pampered princess until her father was killed by her childhood friend. When the country turns against her she escapes with her other longtime friend, Hak. They set out on a journey to find the four dragons that served the original master.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The summary of the anime makes it seem very clique and average, but the characters are designed so that they bring more to the story. It feels like the plot is very straightforward, finding the 4 dragons and reclaiming the throne but Yona grows so much in the process that it's more interesting to watch.

In the beginning of the anime she disobeyed her father and wished to receive whatever she wanted. The brutal struggles of being a fugitive changed her as she sees Hak constantly risking his life in order to protect her. This makes her want to get stronger so she can defend herself.
               
Personally Yona didn't feel like a heroine who tried too hard to get stronger; she did push herself but the balance was nicely done. Her experience had turned her into a strong, kind, independent woman. The anime ends short on that, but the manga shows her travelling with the dragons, continually helping the kingdom by aiding the commoners.

But....seriously we need some Hak and Yona action here. She's acting as the oblivious, naive herioe who doesn't know that the person closest to her loves her. But slowly she's liking him too while all the characters around them get extremely frustrated.

Shin-ah still the cutest though I LOVE YOU SHINHA

Free!

One word: HOT
Throughout this whole anime, I was drooling and slobbering all over my phone (not literally of course). To people who just enjoy watching hot boy bods swim, you'll love this anime but other people who have lives, I don't think you would want to watch this because more than half of this anime includes half naked boys swimming. The plot is that there were four young boys that met in middle school that loved swimming together but then in high school, one of them, Rin, left the group and only three of them are in the same high school that has no swimming team. Eventually, the three best friends called Haruka, Makoto,  and Nagisa,  start their own swimming team and add Rei to their team. Go,  the sister of Rin, becomes their manager to help them all get back together because Rin has a grudge with them.
My favorite character is Haruka because I just like quiet types that are really intense :D he also swims so freely (see what I did there *Wink wink*) and does what he wants no matter what other people think of him. The drawings are awesome so all their bodies are hot in this anime :D my life has been revived.

DURARARA!!

DURARARA!! is an anime about an ordinary boy Mikado Ryugamine moves to the town Ikebukuro and meets up with his old friend Kida. Slowly the multiple characters come together in the story to form an even larger story. Each of their backgrounds come together in the abnormal city of Ikebukuro. Characters such as the headless rider, a black market scientist, and color gangs change the town. 
                       
This is one of those anime where you have to watch at least 4 episodes in order for it to become good. If you don't give it a chance it'll never become good because there are so many characters. They take the time to give you the backgrounds of each other the characters which ties to the present. 

The best part about this anime is how everything comes together in the end, Izaya ends up being the one causing everything and pulling the strings while watching everything come into place the way he wanted it to. Like what Izaya said in the beginning, everyone has their own secrets, this is really revealed as the real identity of the 2 students are shown as plot twists. 

Kida as the shogun of the yellow scarves and Mikado as the boss of the Dollars. 
                           
What I never understood was, despite how well the anime wrapped and solved many of it's problems such as the gang fights and power struggles it never showed much about Celty's head. I was disappointed when it became more of a backseat story. Celty may think she no longer needed her head but what were the human experiments the pharmaceutical were doing? Did Izaya provoke 2 gang wars because he'd hope one of them would cause the head to come alive again? Was Shinra's father the one behind Celty fainting and losing her head?
                    
Either way I still stand between the #1 couple in Ikebukuro to be Celty and Shinra or Shizuo and Izaya. The Shinra and Celty moments are adorable and Shizuo and Izaya just hate each other's guts. I wish this anime was longer and dug even deeper into the things surrounding the town. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY CHECK IT OUT.

Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji)

This anime seriously has no plot whatsoever but the drawings are so damn hot, it makes up for everything the anime is missing. This anime is about a young master named Ciel, who made a contract with a demon who he called Sebastian Michaelis. Ciel made a contract with a demon when he was a little boy cuz he was messed up and cuz he wanted revenge against the queen (which is ironic considering that he is her watchdog). *Let me speak in an elegant manner before while fangirling comes out* While most people consider Sebastopol as SEXY and COOL and AWESOME which they are entitled to think, I LOVE CIEL THE MOST cuz of his eyes and the intricate clothing he wears.

Ciel makes all the plans and is really smart in so many ways (despite the fact that Sebastian had to teach him) and he taught Sebastian how to be a proper Butler (using a spoiled child act). Ciel is the mastermind throughout all theit evil plans while Sebastian carried out the plan, finishing everything off with "I am simply one hell of a butler" with an evil and sexy smile. Oh and just to let you know, Sebastian LOVE cats but Ciel is allergic to them but Ciel did adopt a huge dog for Sebastian to take care of because it amused him (LOL). What makes this anime kind of like a comedy are the three servants that Sebastian hired. They can't actually do anything  that would  be related to housework but they are amazing in fights because the maid can see things really far away while the cook has really good instincts and the gardener has super strength. AND Grell,  or Jack the Ripper, loves Sebastian and in terms of  yaoi,  I ship them even though a lot of people ship Ciel and Sebastian.

The second season was pretty confusing because a whole new set of characters jump in and they all piss me off so much, especially Alois. 

Alois copied Ciel and has a demon butler too :( he takes over Ciel's body (NASTY AND DISGUSTING) and changes those pretty eyes of Ciel's. SOB the horror. WELL anyways there's not much to talk about anymore so watch the anime and is you like it, then the manga is even better :D
