Hanime on Anime’s Character of the Month of July: Soma Yukihira

-
Hello, people of earth!  I’m back from MechCon-which was awesome, by the way-and ready to reveal July’s Character of the Month!  I had some new shows for this month, but it was a little hard pick this month’s character.  In the end, I went with one that was a little more…how can I say it?  Not as controversial.  Still, this character was worth the pick.  With that much said, let’s talk about this month’s Character of the Month: Soma Yukihira from Food Wars!
I reviewed Food Wars shortly before I left for MechaCon, so it should still be a little fresh.  I’ll try to be as brief as possible.  In the series, middle school graduate Soma Yukihira dreams of becoming a top chef like his father and eventually taking over the family restaurant.  Even though he can’t seem to surpass his father, his cooking tricks do prove cunning, especially when the restaurant is faced with being closed.  Unfortunately, Soma’s father closes the restaurant anyway to work in America.  In the meantime, Soma is sent to culinary school, or should I say the top rated culinary school in Japan.  But in a school where only 10% of the students graduate, Soma is going to need all the help he can get.
So why Soma?  I haven’t gone as far as the first episode of Food Wars, so I only know the basics of the series.  But, I definitely think that Soma has some promise.  And I have to admit, for a kid his age, he’s a culinary genius.  Come on, he made a bacon wrapped potato in the first episode (yum)!    I think that it’s this kid’s skills in the kitchen that will take him through the series.  And I hate to assume the outcome of this series, but I think it’s pretty obvious that he’ll graduate from this school.  Still, assumption or no, this guy’s got some know-how when it comes to cooking.  So fire up the grill, Soma Yukihira-and get me the recipe for that Gotcha Pork Roast, seriously!-cause your Hanime on Anime’s Character of the Month of July!  Tune in next week for another review from yours truly!

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,

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
