It's been too long since i posted. That's because now i have completed over 100 Anime. :)
I have stopped being stubborn and gave in to finally watching Naruto.. and yes, now i am hopelessly addicted to it... lesson of the year: give everything a try :3 I have now learnt enough Japanese to have small conversations with (yey me!)... this year so far has been a blast!
I can't name and review every Anime i have been watching lately but i would like to point out a few amazing ones, ones that you cannot miss, and a small list of upcoming ones.
Psycho-Pass
From the very first episode this sucked me in. Totally unique idea and fantastic to say the least.
Only finishing this year, Psycho-Pass is definitely one of my top favourites.
If you like action, mind twisting and futuristic Anime then this is for you!
MegStatic's rating: 10/10
Kara no Kyoukai
Now this gem is quite different. It consists of 7 episodes that are more like movies (40mins-2hs). The timeline of them is rather confusing at first but don't give up after the first episode!
Part magical, part mystery.. very dark and disturbing at times.. but absolutely brilliant.
MegStatic's rating: 9/10 (average of all 7)
And finally i take back all my nasty words to say Naruto is actually awesome! The characters are so loveable (apart from Sasuke >.>) and a simply amazing storyline. I have only watched the original so far, with 9 movies and all of Shippuden to go :).
Oh and lately i have been buying a ton of manga (pic below):
Be sure to glance at my list and such, i'm always looking for fellow otakus!!!

| my Grell <3 |
After finishing the first season i rushed to the second! Also watching all the OVAs, both the musicals (amazing by the way) and starting the manga! I seriously can't get enough of this Anime.
It is now my one and only number one...
The story is set not long after the events of season one, which i shouldn't tell you in case you have yet to see it.
Black butler info here.
With the same lovable characters, especially my Grell *fangirl drool*, and a couple new, it is just enjoyable, amazing in fact It's hard to come across Anime nowadays being this good.
I do suggest watching the OVAs and musicals too, believe me everything to do with Kuroshitsuji is amazing... i do hope they make more seasons and hopefully some movies. :3
Again... i fricking love this Anime... don't miss it, it's worth every second of your time! :)

| *droool*.... |
Took me a little while to get into this but i absolutely loved it after that.
The Black Butler, Sebastian, a demon and master to the Earl Ciel Phantomhive. Set in olden England, Ciel and Sebastian solve crimes, mostly the supernatural ones. Running into all sorts of people from Shinigamis (Death Gods) to Ghosts.
I won't spoil the story for you, all i can say is watch it for yourself and you won't be disappointed. :3
All the characters have lovable personalities. My favourite being Grell (hot in a strange way :3) and of course Sebastian himself...
Some series do deserve to go on and this is one of them. On to season 2 i go!
Why are you still here??... go watch!

Had to finish this one today! After the first few episodes it really got good!
As i said before, part ghost - part horror story. Set in a small village junior high school in Japan. Koichi is a student who returns to the village after being in Tokyo most of his life. He meets a strange student called Misaki Mei and becomes friends with her.
After that things go downhill resulting in deaths of students within their class. They find out that the class is cursed.
I don't want to spoil the story too much. More here.
I have yet to read the novel it was based on or the OVA or the live action film.. oh well there's plenty of time for that!
I did enjoy this Anime very much as most released nowadays don't have a good story. Sometimes recommendations do pay off!
As i said before Death Note was the first anime that i watched.
It sucked me in from episode 1!
The Death Note is a note book that when you write a persons name in they die. Ryuk, a shinigami (god of death/reaper) drops his note book in the human realm and its found but Light Yagami who later on uses it.
The human whose name is written in this notebook shall die.
This notebook will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen.
If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.
After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
The story continues as Light uses the notebook to kill off criminals thinking it will make him a god. The police catch on and send L, the best detective in the world, to stop the madness. Light, with the help of Ryuk, discover more and more ways to kill off people. I won't spoil it too much if you have yet to see this amazing Anime!
After seeing the Anime i did buy the mangas which are the same more or less story line but equally as good. Who wouldn't want to own them?!
Small note: I recommend not watching the live action films as they ruin the story line. Amusing but you cannot compare it to the Anime & Manga.
Manga: Same story slightly different ending... a bit better in fact than the Anime.
I love this Anime and will most likely watch it 100 more times :). It's a good Anime to start off with if your new to all this.
This Anime is rather different.. and underrated. This is my personal opinion anyway!
Tokko are a secret police force that are fighting demons that were summoned hundreds of years ago from the box of druge similar to the puzzle box of hellraiser. Ranmaru, the main character, part of the normal police force after recovering from an accident 5 years ago killing his parents runs into the demons again. More on the plot here.
I won't spoil the story too much for you. Although it is unique in a way Tokko deserved more background story into the beginning itself leaving out some main points, frustrating at times. Put simple this 13 episode Anime has been discarded for 8 years and could really do with continuing the story much further.
I should really get round to reading the Manga apparently the story goes on...
All-in-all this is definitely a watch able and enjoyable Anime!
