Character of the Month of March: the Matsuno Brothers

-


Greetings, ladies and gentlemen!  It’s the end of the month, and that means it’s time for Character of the Month!  And honestly, I felt a little torn with this one...ok, maybe I wasn’t torn, I just felt like there were other characters I could have picked.  What do I mean?  Well, let’s find out by talking about this month’s Character of the Month of March, the Matsuno brothers from Mr. Osomatsu!
There really isn’t much to talk about with this show, but it wouldn’t hurt to give a quick synopsis given my review on Mr. Osomatsu was two weeks ago.  The series follows the Matsuno brothers- Osomatsu, Karamatsu, Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu- and there crazy antics...and that’s about all you need to know.  Like I said, quick synopsis.
I’m pretty sure that some of you might have thought that either Hiro or Zero Two from DARLING in the FRANXX would have won.  But like I said in my review last week, the show felt really tedious in terms of story and characters, so they weren’t all that interesting to me.  But that’s not to say I didn’t like the Matsuno brothers.  They were actually hilarious and fun to watch.  That’s especially given the fact that there wasn’t any real development to them aside from their personalities.  Speaking of, that was probably the best part about them.  Even if you can’t remember their names-cause I know I couldn’t-, you can remember them by their personalities.  For example, you knew the blue one (Karamatsu) was the tough one, the green one (Choromatsu) was the otaku, and the pink one (Todomatsu) is something of a social butterfly.  And like I said, I think the adult humor in the series was a big lure, and a lot of that comes from the brothers.  Even some of the non-adult jokes and scenarios that they come up with are hilarious.  So even though Mr. Osomatsu has a very basic plot but no running story, these brothers were what made the show a treat to watch.  So keep being funny and crazy Osomatsu, Karamatsu, Choromatsu...and the pink one…and…Aw, forget it!  Congrats Matsuno Brothers, cause you’re Hanime on Anime’s Characters of the Month of March!
Now, as many of you know, April is coming up, and that also means I get to do my famous Autism Awareness Month.  While I normally make an announcement about that usually at the end of March, I’m actually going to wait as I’m still trying to get everything set up for the event.  Granted, I know what I’ll be doing.  It’s the reviews and extra stuff I’m still working on.  And speaking of extra stuff, next Sunday there will not be a review.  In light of the Easter holiday, I’ll be doing a special discussion post on one of my favorite anime series (and maybe another well known series) and how you can tie it to Christianity.  Strange as it may sound, but it’s a post I’ve wanted to do for quite some time.  There might also be a Talkative Thursday post, but it’s not quite confirmed yet.  Anyways, stay tuned till either Thursday for a TT post or Sunday for a special discussion post!

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,

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

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
