Autism Awareness 2017 Begins on Hanime on Anime!

-
Greetings, fellow readers!  April has begun and that means it’s time to start my ever popular Autism Awareness Month Event, which is very appropriate considering today is Autism Awareness Day.  For those of you who don’t know, April is Autism Awareness Month.  And for the past two years, every April I’ve made a point to celebrate it.  Why? Well, believe it or not, I actually have Asperger’s Syndrome, a high functioning form of autism.  So it’s definitely a big deal for me.  Anyways, one issue that I’ve had for this year was figuring out what to do for the event.  I’ve already talked about autism, what it is, and how it has affected my life.  That was done both in blog posts and videos.  But this year, I decided to not focus so much on the facts of autism and what they mean to me, but actually give you guys a look at what it’s like to live with autism-or Asperger’s Syndrome in my case.
So every Saturday, starting next week, I’ll tell a different story in where being autistic played a big role and what I learned from it.  Yeah, short, sweet, and to the point.  And so, without further adieu, I start Autism Awareness on Hanime on Anime by saying “Let’s be aware!”  And don’t forget, tomorrow I’ll have a fresh and overdue review.

P.S.:  Happy April Fool’s Day, too!

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

Akira the Movie vs. Akira the Manga: Which is Better?

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
