Hanime on Autism 2020!

-

Greetings, fabulous people of the Internet!  I know that many of you reading this are probably on quarantine from the coronavirus outbreak.  I’m pretty much in the same boat as you are.  But that’s not stopping me from carrying on with this year’s Autism Acceptance Month event, or as I’m now calling it “Hanime on Autism.”
Every year since I’ve done this event, I’ve always taken an opportunity talk about autism and it’s impact on my life-for those of you new to Hanime on Anime, I have Asperger’s Syndrome.  So obviously, something like Autism Acceptance (or Awareness, whichever you prefer) is very important to me.  And while I could take a paragraph or two to talk about autism, how it affects me, affects others, or what those in the autistic community feel about the subject, I feel like in the past five years I’ve done this event, I seem to repeat the same thing over and over.  Not that it doesn’t warrant being repeated, but I don’t know what else I can say on my opinions on the subject.  Instead, I want to talk about the event itself and how wonderful it is as someone on the spectrum to see it become a staple here every year.
My Autism Awareness Events on Hanime on Anime are by far some of the most popular content on the blog and on YouTube.  A lot of this comes from people who know me personally, and some are total strangers, but it makes me proud to think that my thoughts and views on autism are something of interest to all of you!  It’s something that I take particular pride in and it’s always something I look forward to doing every year, and to know that it’s something you all enjoy makes me even happier.  So rather than do what I’ve been doing for the past five years and talking about autism and it’s impact on me, I want to take the time in this announcement to thank all of you have followed the blog and have made my Autism Events such a success!  From the bottom of my heart, as a blogger, content creator, and fellow Aspie, I deeply appreciate all the support I get!  And now, onward to this year’s festivities!
Honestly, it won’t be any different than it was last year.  I’ll be doing two video reviews on two non-anime films and/or TV shows that features characters with autism.  This year’s picks will include the Pixar short Loop (which will likely be my shortest review ever) and the Ben Affleck film The Accountant.  My review on Loop will be the first review and that will premier April 12, followed by my review on The Accountant April 26.  But before that happens, there will be a slight interruption with the premier of my first double review/versus video this Sunday on Dr. Stone and Fire Force.  So everything officially starts April 12, so stay tuned till then!  And thanks again for all the love and support all these years!

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
