Greetings, one and all!  Halloween comes tomorrow, which means the end of October and the unveiling of this month’s Character of the Month!  Now I know that this month has been a little sparse in reviews, to no fault of my own, but rest assured this month’s character was a good one.  Trust me!  So enough of me rambling and let’s talk about October’s Character of the Month, Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama from Mob Psycho 100 . So since I reviewed Mob Psycho 100 last week, I’ll be as brief as I can here.  Shigeo Kageyama, also known as Mob, appears to be like any other middle school student.  However, past his dull expression and ordinary appearance, Mob is actually a powerful psychic.  And when he’s not being a middle school student, he’s performing exorcisms with his mentor Reigen, a self-proclaimed psychic who is actually a con man with no powers whatsoever. Thinking about Mob as a character, he comes off as not being all that special-minus the psychic powers.  But really, that normalc

Hey there everybody!  I’m (finally) back after a two week absence with a new review!  But before I get to that, I do want to apologize for last week’s no show.  However, it was a family-related incident and had no control over it.  Anyways, about this week’s review…I was actually planning on doing this show next month, but I’ve been following it pretty well for some time now…plus there’s ghosts in it.  That’s horror related, right?  And ghosts have been the thing since the Ghostbusters reboot, right?  I mean the title for this week’s post is a hats off to it!  So enough of me going on and let’s get on with this week’s review of Mob Psycho 100 ! This action-packed comedy follows Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama, a dull and average looking middle school student.  However, past his emotionless expression, Mob is actually a powerful  psychic who has to keep his emotions and abilities in check, lest he loses control.  These abilities land him a job working as an assistant exorcist to Reigen.  And

Greetings, one and all!  October is here, and that means Halloween is near!  And that also means a month full of horror anime!  This week’s pick is actually one of the newest shows to hit the summer block this year.  And while it may not be what I think of when horror anime comes to mind in my opinion, it is chock full of vampires! So without further adieu, let’s get started on this week’s review of Servamp ! Mahiru Shirota lived a pretty simple life as a high school student.  That is, until he came across a black cat he decides to keep and name Kuro.  Only keeping him for a short time, Mahiru learns that Kuro is actually a vampire.  More specifically, he is one of the original vampires-called Servamps- known as Sleepy Ash.  Mahiru also learns that by giving him a name, he and Kuro have formed a temporary contract-to make it full, Kuro would have to drink Mahiru’s blood.  This later happens when one of Mahiru’s friends is attacked by a vampire and Mahiru decides to fight back.  Aft
