Character of the Month of Novembflix: Meliodas

-

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen!  Welcome back to the final portion of Novembflix, and the end of the month of November.  My first attempt at this new event was interesting in the sense that the shows were, well, interesting-and maybe not in the best of ways.  Still, of all the shows I reviewed, there was one character from this event that I absolutely adored; so this month’s pick was pretty easy.  So, let’s not stall anymore and talk about this month’s character of the month: Meliodas from The Seven Deadly Sins.
In the fantasy world of Britannia, Meliodas serves as the leader of a group of elite Holy Knights turned outlaws called the Seven Deadly Sins.  Ten years after the group is accused of treason and disbanded, Princess Elizabeth of the Liones family finds Meliodas as the owner of a traveling bar.  Elizabeth convinces him to find the other members of the Sins and stop the Order of the Holy Knights from starting an all out war.
Good Lord, Meliodas was one of the funniest protagonists I had ever seen in a long time.  And honestly, that was the one thing that won me over; his crude sense of humor.  In fact, his pervy moments are some of the funniest moments in the entire show.  Granted, he can be the over powered fighter when he needs to as proven in one of the earliest fights with the knight Gilthunder.  In fact, when I see Meliodas, he reminds me a lot of Vash the Stampede from Trigun.  One of the reasons why I love Vash so much is that he is such a dynamic protagonist in that he plays multiple roles within Trigun (the hero, the comic relief, and of course, the lecher).  Meliodas wasn’t as dynamic as Vash, but it was nice to at least get the hero and the lecher out of him.  So fight on, but stay out from under Elizabeth’s skirt, Meliodas, cause you’re Hanime on Anime’s Character of the Month of November, or Novembflix!
Next week I won’t be doing a review.  In fact, I actually have a special announcement to make.  No spoilers here!  Stay tuned next week to find out what’s going on!

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,

Welcome to Hanime on Anime!

Greetings all and welcome to Hanime on Anime, the blog for otakus by a fellow otaku herself!  To give you all a sum of what to expect from this sight, Hanime on Anime is a blog that does weekly posts on every Sunday on anime and anime related topics.  The posts, for now, will consist of anime reviews, but I hope to do other things like discussions on anime themes and countdowns of my bests in anime. Now, if you’re reading this, you’ve probably read the words anime a couple times already- eight times to be exact- and probably have no idea what it is.  If that’s the case then, let’s ask the question “what is anime?”  What is anime you say?  Well, fortunately for you, there is an anime guru here to answer that question. Anime, in a nutshell, is Japanese cartoons.  That is, they were originally created in Japan, released in Japanese, and possibly released in English later on, if they were popular enough.  Now like I said, this is a simple definition, but it’s also an inaccurate defi

Character of the Month of April: Shoya Ishida and Shoko Nishimiya

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
