Hanime on Anime

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen! Fall is finally in the air, Halloween is almost here, and it’s time once again to reveal this month’s Character of the Month of October!   This month I admittedly was not on top of things with this blog as I had been busy with work and some personal issues, so my choices for Character of the Month have been limited.   Still, this month’s pick was definitely a good pick.   I can’t wait to talk about this character so let’s get started and talk a little bit about this month’s Character of the Month of October, Rin Okumura from Blue Exorcist . Because I just recently reviewed Blue Exorcist , I’ll spare you all a synopsis since I assume you guys read the review or already saw the show.   There really isn’t a whole lot to Rin as a character.   He’s about average and is about as stereotypical a protagonist you can get.   But unlike many stereotypical protagonists, he’s not as overwhelming stubborn or hotheaded.   It’s ...

Greetings, ladies and gents!   Welcome to another review on another Sunday in October.   In continuing with my annual supernatural/horror theme of the month, I move on in my string of reviews with a well known series that’s barely ten years old but surprisingly good.   It’s actually been on my watchlist for some time and after giving it a shot, I now get to talk about it.   I can’t wait to get started so let’s hit the ground running with this week’s review on Blue Exorcist ! The overlying plot of the series revolves around fraternal twins Rin and Yukio Okumura who live seemingly normal lives with their father and priest (and later revealed to be an exorcist) Shiro Fujimoto.   However, things drastically changed when it is revealed that not only are he and Yukio are the sons of Satan, but that Rin has also inherited much of his father’s demonic powers.   These powers are further enhanced after he uses a sword called the Kurikara to fight off an attack by...

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen!   Welcome to October and the first of some supernatural and horror-filled reviews.   I know I meant to start off the month right last week, but due to some certain circumstances, that obviously didn’t happen.   Still, I hope to get things going with a fresh new review on a pretty new anime film and more or less of a continuation on one of my favorite shows of all time.   I can’t wait to get into this review, so let’s get started on this week’s review on Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic ! Seemingly picking up where Book of Murder left off (yes, I’m well aware that I haven’t reviewed this yet), Ciel and Sebastian board on a cruise ship called the Campania, which is headed to New York City.   They’re also met by some of the other cannon characters like Elizabeth and her family, the Undertaker, as well as the grim reaper Ronald Knox.   However, this cruise is more than a vacation.   Ciel and Sebastian are on the liner...
