Hanime on Anime

Season’s greetings, ladies and gentlemen!  Christmas is just around the corner, so I think that it’s a good time to end this month right around this time.  And of course, what better way to end the month, as well as the year, with my pick for Character of the Month!  This month was a bit simple because I did only one review for December.  Though this may seem unfair, I have to say that it made my pick an absolute must.  Anyways, I’ll stop rambling and get to talking about this month’s Character of the Month: Sebastian Michaelis from Black Butler . So to start, Black Butler follows the young English earl Ciel Phantomhive and his quest to seek revenge against the deaths of his parents after making a deal with a demon later named Sebastian.  Throughout much of the series, we see Sebastian complete various demands made out by Ciel, all ranging from simple to near impossible.  But being a demon, Sebastian can do just about anything-enough said.  However, his true demon side does not

Greetings all!  You may notice that this week’s post is not a review.  In light of the impending holiday season, I decided to do a special discussion post.  It’s a bit controversial, but this was a post I’ve wanted to do for some time now.  So bare with me, and I do apologize in advance for any offense that I make. So to start this post, we all know it’s the holiday season.  For many people, the biggest holiday of the season is Christmas.  And it also may not come as a surprise that this is a dominantly Christian holiday.  With this Christian aspect of Christmas in mind, I begin my post.  With the anime shows I have seen over the years, not many of them focus on religion-particularly Christianity.  In the few cases that it is involved, whether directly or indirectly, there are some things presented in them that are questionable.   And this is where I begin my discussion.  Here I will discuss a few ways that Christianity is depicted, why I think it is presented in these ways, and w

Hello all!  I know that you guys missed me last week because I didn’t have a new review up, but I’m glad that I got some important things said and done with last week’s announcement post.  Plus, you got to see me in person (or at least on your computer screen).  But I’m back with a new review this week that you’re sure to love.  Why?  Cause this review is on the show about a boy and his butler.  That’s right! This week’s review is on the hit sensation Black Butler .  So without any further delay, let’s get on with this review! Black Butler , in general, follows the young Earl Ciel Phantomhive.  After a religious cult kills his parents and tortures him, Ciel makes a deal with a demon to save him and help him seek his revenge in exchange for his soul.  This demon later becomes his butler, Sebastian Michaelis.  Now that’s season one-if you didn’t know, there are three seasons so far.   In season two, Ciel has already had his revenge, but a series of incidents occur while Sebastian is
