Character of the Year has Been Chosen! (And other related news)

-
Hello, ladies and gents, and Happy New Year!  Based on the title of this post, we have a winner for Character of the Year of 2014!  Now before I get to the winner, I will say that voting was not as successful as I had expected. Out of the few that did vote-which I do appreciate your vote-, the winner was a tie-breaker in which I cast my own vote.  And so with out further ado, 2014's Character of the Year is...

Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate!



2014 was a pretty good year for Hellsing Ultimate, mainly because the last two episode of the action-packed OVA series were released in English back in October.  That, and the fact that Alucard is a pretty interesting character, I knew that the winner was a given.  So congratulations Alucard, and keep the blood a' flowin', cause your Hanime on Anime's 2014 Character of the Year!

Now before I close this post, you may have noticed that I've made some cosmetic changes to the site.  Well, I am proud to announce that Hanime on Anime now has an official logo, which now serves as the background for the site.  I also added an official About page-finally!  Click on the "About Hanime on Anime" tab at the top to check it out.

Oh, and one more thing, I may be starting out with a new year, but January's posts will be all about last year's shows.  This month I will be doing re-reviews of Tokyo Ghoul, Attack on Titan, and a special review on Black Butler: Book of Circus, where I will do a reevaluation of the Black Butler series.  Also noteworthy this month, I will be announcing the animes that will be reviewed for Flashback February-one of the many events that will be happening this year.

Well, I think that's about it.  So with that much said, I'm off!  Stay tuned for my re-reviews this month and be on the lookout for my Flashback February announcement as well.  And again, Happy New Year!

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,

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

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
