Character of the Month of March: Kamina

Greetings, fellow citizens of Earth on this Easter Sunday!  The month of March has come to a close, and that means it’s time to reveal this month’s Character of the Month!  March might have been sparse on reviews, but that’s no reason to push back tradition.  But seriously, March was a short month, so it’s obvious this month’s winner came from Guren Lagann .  And even though this character wasn’t my all time favorite character in the series, there was pretty great reason why he got the title.  So with that out of the way, let’s talk about this month’s Character of the Month, the man who believes in the you that believes in you, Kamina!

Greetings, one and all!  Before I start on this week’s review, I think I owe a bit of an explanation about last week.  As many of you may remember, last week I said I may be going on a “hiatus” because of a possible job opportunity.  Unfortunately, that opportunity did not happen.  Still, I took that Sunday off anyways.  That being said, I do have some news that I should have shared some time ago.  This past January, I started graduate school full time.  The work load has been heavy, but the past few weeks have been particularly crazy.  In my ignorance, I thought I could pull off doing my blog and balance grad school at the same time without conflict.  So, in light of this, there may be times that I will not post.  Hanime on Anime is very important to me, but so are my academics.  And many times, my schoolwork will have to come first.  So don’t be surprised if I don’t post on Sunday and don’t explain why, but I will certainly try to let you all know if I have to cancel an upcoming
