Character of the Month of November: Momonga/Ainz Ooal Gown

-
Greetings, everyone!  I hope you all have had a great Thanksgiving and stocked up on turkey and other goodies.  But now I’m back and ready to unveil November’s Character of the Month.  In all honesty, this one really wasn’t hard to decide.  Being one of the most powerful and epic characters I’ve seen, I don’t think it was any surprise who took the title.  So enough beating around the bush and let’s get to this month’s Character of the Month, Momonga/Ains Ooal Gown from Overlord.
After the sever to a long-running MMORPG shuts down, Momonga finds himself trapped within the world of Yggdrasil.  Wanting to know more about this strange world, he ventures out on a mission to gather as much information as he can, and later changes his name to Ainz Ooal Gown.  Although Ainz makes new friends and allies along the way, something sinister is happening.  But it shouldn’t be too big of a problem for Ainz to handle.
Ainz is probably one of the most interesting anime characters I’ve seen, and that’s not because he’s super powerful (okay, maybe a little).  Many anime characters who gain some sort of super power or weapon usually suck at harnessing the power they have the first go around.  Granted, this isn’t the case with most anime, and Overlord is one of these animes.  From the beginning of the series, Ainz is a powerful character from the get go-unbelievably powerful for that matter.  So for me, it’s pretty impressive what kind of power Ainz throws at enimes, plus other characters-aside from those within Ainz’s own clan-get quite the shock when they see him in action.  Also, Ainz is probably the last character in an anime that you’d take for a protagonist.  Given his power and his appearance, anyone could easily mistake him for a villain.  Still, hero or villain, you would NOT want to go up against Ainz in a fight.  Like I said, Ainz is a pretty interesting character; not only being one of the most powerful characters I’ve seen in an anime, but also one of the least likely characters to be the hero.  So keep doing what you do Ainz Ooal Gown/Momonga, cause you’re Hanime on Anime’s Character of the Month of November.

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

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
