What I've been watching
So I seem to be watching a bunch of streaming anime (a bunch is like, 4) series' recently and I thought I'd share!
Sekaichi Hatsukoi (crunchyroll)- this is by the Junjou Romantica people, and it shows. Very pretty, 3 different couples, and a TERRIBLE ending. As in no resolution whatsoever. Still fun to watch, but jeez, give me something to end with, lol.
Hanasaku Irohana (crunchyroll)- a highschool girl gets moved from Tokyo to go live with her grandmother in a far-off onsen (hotspring resort. . . though with my friendslist that would be reading this, I don't think I need to explain. -.-) This is a slice of life show (I have a weakness for those that cannot be explained) with a plucky heroine who slowly wins over the tough crowd (mostly, anyway). This show still has episodes running, so we'll see how things end up!
Tiger and Bunny (Viz)- Corporate branded heroes compete on a reality show to win best hero. At least, that's the surface of the show. Really it's all about the characters -- and later there is some darker plot and action that happens, so don't let the intro episodes put you off. . . if they do (they didn't for me!). Tiger is a simple guy who fights for justice and is put together with a cold-hearted fellow nicknamed Bunny (Barnaby is his real name). Of course they have that odd-couple thing going on, which works great! This show is utter fun! They just ended a big arc, but there is more on the way!
Toriko (Funimation)- Think Dragonball Z mixed with Food Network and you have Toriko. Toriko himself is on a quest to find his perfect full course meal in a world of insane creatures and nature (trees that have hotcake blossoms and syrup sap that drips onto them, three-eyes demon worms that spew poison, you know, normal stuff like that, lol). Toriko has god like powers to help him on his quest, though a chef named Komatsu has nothing of the sort and just wants to be the best cook ever. They meet other awesome characters and have gourmet battle adventures. Awe. Some. I have a feeling, like DBZ, this show will go on for a looooooooong while.
If any of these sound even slightly interesting, go watch an episode! Hopefully you like it! ^_^
