Hanime on Anime

Hello, peoples!  August will be coming to a close a little early this month; for Hanime on Anime anyways.  I’ve just started working full time and next week is going to be a very busy week and I will not be getting off on Sunday.  So in light of this, I’ll be doing my Character of the Month post a little early.  I also have an announcement concerning September.  But I’ll get to that bit later.  This month’s pick for Character of the Month may actually be one of my new favorite characters.  Granted, this may have affected my choice, but I still think it’s a worthwhile pick.  But who can I possibly be talking about?  I’m talking about the serious, ambition-driven Satsuki Kiryuin from Kill La Kill. Although Kill La Kill primarily focuses on Ryuko Matoi, Satsuki plays an important role in the series by acting as the main antagonist and the source of revenge for Ryuko.  Believing that she is the one who killed her father, Ryuko is out for revenge against Satsuki.  Throughout the ser

Greetings all!  You may have noticed by now that this week I’m not doing a review.  I wasn’t really sure what to review for this week, so I thought I’d do a discussion post instead.  Plus, I’ve wanted to do this for a while now. So to give a little background on this post, I found this article a few months back and thought it was really interesting.  Basically, it talks about stuff that goes on in anime that just irks anime fans and otakus.  Some of these I can relate to, some I can’t, but I’m still going to put my two cents in on all the questions.  So without further delay, sit back, relax, and enjoy my response to “20 Problems Only Anime Fans Will Understand!” (By the way, you may want to read the article first before reading my responses, just so you don’t get lost.  Here’s the link: http://orzzzz.com/20-problems-only-anime-fans-will-understand.html ) 20. The Pain of Not Owning a Giant Robot Ah…the ever popular giant robot.  You know what they say, “Chicks dig giant ro

Greetings, people of Earth!  I’m back again this weekend for another review.  But this one will be a little different.  Remember that re-review that I mentioned last week?  Well here it is.  So let’s rewind for a minute.  You may remember during February-aka Flashback February-, I reviewed a certain anime show that is well known worldwide.  Sound familiar?  Well, I decided to keep going with it and have come back with a new review on it.  So get powered up, cause I’ll be reviewing the anime classic, Dragon Ball Z ! So last time I reviewed Dragon Ball Z , I left off where the Dragon Ball gang must face the threat of two Saiyans invading within the.  Since then, the Saiyans Vegeta and Nappa have been defeated- Nappa is dead and Vegeta barely escapes alive.  However, when one of their friends dies and takes the Dragon Balls with him, the gang finds themselves in a bind trying to get the rest of their fallen friends back.  That’s when they learn about the planet Namek.  After learnin

Hello, peoples!  August has arrived, and so have some new reviews-plus, maybe one re-review (hint, hint)!  Starting off this month will be a review on one show that I’ve wanted to do for a long time.  This show made its English debut on Toonami back in February, and in fact wrapped things up this past Saturday.  It took a few episodes to get into it, but when I got into it, I went in deep.  What show could I possibly be talking about?  I’m talking about the wild, action-packed, and maybe even naked anime Kill La Kill . Kill La Kill focuses on seventeen year-old Ryuko Matoi.  After her father is mysteriously killed, Ryuko attends Honnouji Academy to find his killer.  Her biggest suspect is Honnouji’s student council president Satsuki Kiryuin.  But in a school where nearly everyone wears Goku Uniforms-suits that enhance human performance-, confronting Satsuki is easier said than done.  However, this changes when Ryuko stumbles upon a mysterious armor called Senktsu.  Now on par wi
