Greetings, one and all!  I’m back from what’s probably been a really crazy week.  And this month’s pick for Character of the Month is just as crazy. I had a hard time picking who would nab the title, and ended up coming to this.  It’s not unheard of picking more than one character for Character of the Month.  But this time around, I added a few more…like seven or eight.  Yep, I’ll just come right out with it; this month’s is the entire group Aqours from Love Live! Sunshine! I’ll be brief with the synopsis because I reviewed this show just last week:  Chika Takami wants nothing more than to start a school idol group at her school after watching a performance by μ’s.  While she is able to collect a modest group of girls to participate, the opportunity to further enhance the club comes around when the group learns that their school will be closing down.  Faced with a similar situation as the gang from the original Love Live! had to face, Aqours...

Howdy, howdy, folks!  I’m back this week with fresh new review on one of the summer’s latest releases.  But before I begin, I do want to apologize again to those who missed me last week.  I’ve had some family issues going on lately-which I will keep private, but family members reading this will know what I’m talking about-, and going through this difficult time has made an impact on me.  While drudging through the rain can be miserable, eventually the clouds will part and let the sun shine through.  Enough said there.  Speaking of sunshine, this week’s review is on a spin-off of an all too familiar show with singing high school girls in flashy short skirts.  That’s right!   This week I’ll be looking at Love Live! Sunshine !  This series hasn’t been out for too long, so there aren’t a whole lot of episodes currently out.  But what I know so far is this: set in a coastal Japanese town, Chika Takami is hell-bent on starting a sch...

Hi, everyone!  If you haven't noticed already, there will be no post today.  I had an important family event going on, so that took priority today.  I will have a new post next Sunday.  Sorry this was late, and be sure to stay tuned for next Sunday! -Hanime on Anime

Greetings, one and all!  I have returned well relaxed and in pretty good spirits this weekend with a new review.  Granted, this week’s review is on an older show, but I finished it earlier this summer and have been a little obsessed with it since then.  So why not?  After all, this is my blog.  Anywho, let’s jump right into this week’s review of Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings ! Sengoku Basara takes place in, as the name implies, the Sengoku period.  In this time of Japan’s history, the country was divided by feudal nations run by powerful warlords.  However, the country often found itself in a state of chaos with these warlords fighting each other constantly.  That’s the historical background of the show-as well as the video game that inspired the series.  The two generals that the show primarily follows are the One-Eyed Dragon of Oshu, Date Masamune, and Sanada Yukimura, the Tiger Cub of Kai.  Both seasons of the series have these...
