Hanime on Anime’s Character of the Month of December: Sebastian Michaelis

-

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 come out until the end of the first season.  From there, it lingers on in the second season.  Still, there is a bit of mystery that surrounds this character.  His history is unknown, and even his appearance as a demon is unknown.  But regardless of what fans know or don’t know about him, they will certainly say that Sebastian is “simply one hell of a butler.”
Hands down, the one thing that I absolutely love about Sebastian is that he is amazing!  There is nothing that he can’t do (I think I’ve said that earlier)!  Throughout the course of the series, Sebastian single handedly stops a train with one hand, mows down an entire army within ten minutes-with only silverware I might add-, and even takes down an angel all with grace and elegance.  What’s also very interesting is his depth knowledge of, well, just about everything.  Often times this knowledge comes in handy when in certain situations.  And ladies, he’s a dreamboat!  After watching season one of Black Butler, I can certainly say that Sebastian is one of the sexiest anime characters I have ever seen!  Not bad for a demon.  So yes, handsome, cunning, and just down-right amazing, Sebastian is definitely “one hell of a butler” and worthy of Character of the Month of December!
Now before I end this post, I do have some important announcements.  Now many of you may remember that December will be a short month because of Character of the Year, and this is because I want to start voting early.  Well now that Character of the Month has now been unveiled, voting for Character of the Year is now open.  There will be a separate post on the site that will have the link to the website.  Instructions for voting will be available on the website and I encourage you to please vote on that site and not on the blog.
Finally, and this occurred to me before I even wrote this post, this will be the last Hanime on Anime post for 2014, which means I will not be doing any reviews or discussion posts until January.  So with this in mind, I want to take the time to thank all of you-my devout readers and brief visitors alike-for reading my blog!  It certainly means a lot to me to look on my site and see that Hanime on Anime has over six hundred views since its beginning back in May.  I look forward to more views and more support the coming year.  So with that much said, I’m off!  Have a safe and merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  The next time you’ll hear from me will be January 1st when I announce Character of the Year.  Stay tuned for that and more to come in 2015!

Devilman (1972) vs. Devilman Crybaby: Which Is Better?

Greetings, fabulous peoples!   Welcome to part three of my Devilman- themed Flashback February!   For this week’s post, I’m doing something that I hadn’t done in a pretty long time: a Vs. post!   As many of you may know, with these posts, I take two series, characters, and even manga series and see which one was better.   In this latest Vs. post, I’m taking the two Devilman shows I reviewed for Flashback February and seeing which one was a devil of a show.   And for those who’ve seen Crybaby , I know what you’re thinking, but keep quiet for now.   With that said, let’s duel it out with the original Devilman series and Devilman Crybaby ! First Up: Devilman (1972)   First up on the chopping block is the original 1972 series.   If you read my review on it earlier in the month, the premises of the show is pretty much a kaiju series.   The series ran from 1972 to 1973 for about forty episodes.   And I will admit, I did not watch the entire series due to time restraints,

Character of the Month of April: Shoya Ishida and Shoko Nishimiya

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I think you saw this one coming.   I’m back this beautiful Sunday with this month’s Character- or Characters of the Month!   And yeah, if you read the title, I think it’s pretty obvious who was going to take it.   Cause let’s face it The End of Evangelion’s Shinji wasn’t going to take it anytime soon, especially not after the hospital scene.   But still, all kidding aside, I think this month’s picks really are worthy of the title, not just in their actions, but what they represent.   That being said, let’s talk about this month’s Characters of the Month of April, Shoya Ishida and Shoko Nishimiya from A Silent Voice . To keep things brief and less long-winded, A Silent Voice follows Shoya Ishida and Shoko Nishimiya as the two form a close friendship with each other despite the fact that the two shared a rough past.   With Nishimiya being deaf, this made her a target for bullying by Ishida as a child.   But when his bullying goes too far and Nishimiya

Akira the Movie vs. Akira the Manga: Which is Better?

Greetings, everyone!  Welcome to Part 1 of Akira Month!  To kick this two part, all about Akira, discussion post event off, I’ll be taking the manga that inspired the groundbreaking film, and the groundbreaking film that later inspired the world and seeing which one really makes fans explode-OK, that came out a little weird.  So now, without further delay, let’s get started on my discussion post battle of Akira  the Manga versus Akira the Movie! First Up: Akira the Movie So let’s begin with the Akira that most people are familiar with, the 1988 film. In a nutshell, Akira the film is about a teenage biker gang member named Tetsuo who suddenly develops psychic powers that eventually cause him to lose his mind.  This decent into  madness also sparks a rivalry between him and his best friend Kaneda, who has unwillingly become involved with a terrorist group trying to expose a secret government organization that studies individuals with psychic abilities much similar to
