I can(not) see the youkai.

Karas: An OVA Series Review

---------------------------------------------
Number of episodes: 6 OVA's 
Genre: Action, sci-fi, fantasy
Source material: OVA original written by Shin Yoshida
Trailer: 

It's been a while since I've seen Karas (it came out between 2005-07), but I will always remember it fondly as one of the most beautiful animes that I have ever seen. Even with its copious amounts of CGI, the animation blends well together, the backgrounds are breathtaking, and I highly encourage you to watch at least the first movie before you write it off based on the CGI incorporation factor alone. If you're a big fan of the action genre but are also still looking for a good storyline, Karas just might be the anime for you!

Usagi Drop: An Anime Series Review


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

Number of Episodes: 11
Genre: Slice of life
Source Material: Josei manga by Yumi Unita
Trailer: 



It has come to my attention that although I describe myself as an anime otaku in my profile, I have yet to write anything about anime on this blog! :O In an attempt to rectify this situation, I've decided to start with a series review of an anime I quite enjoyed titled Usagi Drop. This review will be a simple one--I'm not going to provide the names of the director, studio, voice actors, etc. All of that information is readily available on the net and honestly, I've personally never paid a lot of attention to those things anyway. Instead, I'll focus on the plot, the characters, and the overall impressions of the anime in the hopes that if you're looking for something new to watch, you might be persuaded to give this anime the 3-episode test!
