Anime Watcher / Manga Reader

Food Wars is an anime/manga I like quite a bit.  There's very little about it I don't like.  I like the characters, the recipes, and yes, I like the fan service, too.  One thing I especially like, though, are the character facial expressions where they don't have pupils. Are they competitors or teammates. This is so cute, it's funny. I wonder if this girl can see through all the tears. Soma is impressed by Alice's lack of pupils. Soma and Alice love having no pupils. Soma also enjoys losing his pupils with another boy. Nobody can lose their pupils like Soma. It's especially funny when a character is show ire. That's the last time Soma will touch her like that. It's kind of hard to take Alice seriously when she's like this. And just check out this guy's face as Soma gets in touch with his inner Steven Seagal. If only you could hear the sound effects here. And Tadokoro's misery is my joy. ...

High school.  A time of fun and learning for some.  A time of dread and loathing for others.  Some people on both sides probably wish they could do it over while others would never want to go through it again.  Two people will.  This is Again!! Again!! is a tale that follows an outcast called Kinichiro Imamura.  He's an extreme loser with no friends, no girlfriend, no...anything high schoolers in Japan care about.  Basically, he's the biggest loser to ever exist in the history of mankind.  This is despite the fact that everyone around him is also a loser, but whatever. Our protagonist and biggest loser in history, Kinichiro. Anyway, he decides to break into an abandoned club room for some reason, when he is seen by a popular girl, who then runs away because she afraid he'll...kill her, I guess.  He gives chase and she falls down some stairs to what seems to be her death.  Then, he attempts to check on her but falls down the ...

Well, it's happened.  Kakegurui has a spinoff/prequel.  Even better, it stars an intriguing character.  This is Kakegurui Twin. Kakegurui Twin is, as mentioned before, a prequel to the main series.  That means we get to see the state of the school before Yumeko comes in and screws with the student council.  Yep, Yumeko isn't the main character.  Instead, it's the other main girl, Mary Saotome.  So we're already off to a good start. Sigh...Mary... So, what does Ms. Mary do.  Gamble.  What else?  Prequel or not, it's still Kakegurui.  Mary takes her lumps, gets her revenge, makes friends, and looks hot doing it. The main series has taught us that asshole can look innocent. Mary suffers the agony of "defeet". Who is she?  Read and find out. Kakegurui Twin looks interesting.  Mary is my favorite character, so it's nice to see her branch out.  I look forward to seeing what kind of assholes she...

Kakegurui is a fun manga series that follows Yumeko Jabami and company as the gamble their way to the top of the school food chain.  There are lots of laughs to be had, particularly in issue 7. For example, Yumeko's happy smile is something that always makes me laugh.  It's different from her other types of smiles.  It is present and accounted for here. Happy Yumeko always makes me laugh. Of course it can be funny when Yumeko isn't smiling.  There just something about Midari that brings out the worst in her. Good thing Yumeko isn't a violent person. Maybe it's just me, but Midari crying had me dying. Am I wrong for liking this. Midari's not alone in shedding tears, as this issue's main antagonist starts crying as well, much to the surprise of Yumeko and Midari.  It's okay, though.  The rotten bitch deserves it. It's satisfying watch her go from this... ...to this. Admittedly, a lot of the joy that came from K...

My Hero Academia.  A pretty good manga and an equally good anime.  It has action, drama, and of course, laughs.  When it comes to humorous moments, nothing stands out more than this: Granted, there is funnier stuff in the series, but this makes me laugh every time I see it.  It's Yaoyorozu's expression.  That makes the whole scene.  Here's a closer look: It was probably just an excuse to get the girls in cheerleading uniforms, but is that really a bad thing.  Notice how Yaoyorozu is the only one not paralyzed with embarrassment.  I don't know why, though.  They look cute.  Also, look how much bigger Yaoyorozu is than the other girls. Three cheers for cheerleading uniforms.

Do you like your women Latin, spicy, and a little dangerous?  Do you like a woman who can ride the heck out of a scooter?  How about a woman who knows how to handle a gun?  Then Michiko of Michiko & Hatchin is your woman. Michiko is one half of the titular duo of the anime Michiko & Hatchin.  She's the adult of the two, though she doesn't always act like it.  It seems like she never been to school, because she's street smart and book stupid.  But she's more than just some dumb bombshell.  She's a girl with a past. Yep, she's been to jail...and broke out. She knows how to make an entrance. There's nothing like a woman with a side of moped for breakfast. She know how to dress for any occasion.  Just don't question how she gets the clothes. She can be slutty... ...pretty... ...or whatever this is meant to be. She's not afraid of guns... This isn't the first time she's had a gun drawn on her... ...
