Anime Top Picks Of All Time.. pt.2

I have already listed the first five of my top anime picks for all time and so here goes the continuation. Actually, I want to mention loads of anime I've watched so far since I really fancy digging them. But of course, I'm going to mention first those that I certainly like the most or those which would not leave me bored watching it over and over again. Some of the anime I'm fond of are quite famous already but some people might have not heard of the others yet.

Claymore

This anime is perhaps the only anime (I've chose and seen) that mainly casts female characters. I like the idea of how "sexy" and cool-looking silver-eyed witches are able to wield big swords and fight against monsters which are way bigger and more powerful than them. The fighting scenes are jaw-breaking and the storyline is full of twists, mysteries and shocking revelations. This anime is so damn hard to predict. Claymore is an ongoing manga but they've finished the anime version already; yet it just keeps getting better and better. Cutting short the anime version is one of my disappointments; another is the very long wait for each manga update. :(

Claymores are female (half human and half yoma or monsters) warriors designed to exterminate the pure gut-eating yomas. But according to the warriors themselves, the term "claymore" is actually referring to their big swords. Yomas are very strong and powerful and there's no way for a normal human to fight them. Thus, a mysterious organization took some women and experimented them. By turning pure human women into half yomas, they managed to come up with skillful and powerful female warriors. However, claymores are feared by the people (because of them beng half yoma) even after they've been helped or saved from yoma attacks. The story centers to the life of various claymores, particularly to Clare, who chose to become one of them for the sake of revenge.

History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi or Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple

"Kenichi" or Shijou Saikyou No Deshi Kenichianime (in anime) is an action-packed, full of humor and interesting stuff kind of anime. This kind of anime is advisable for those who are often bullied, lacking in confidence and trust for one's self, coward and easily give up their dreams and principles. haha. But more importantly, if you are fond of martial arts or wants to learn more of it even just by reading from various sources, Kenichi can certainly boost your interest and motivate you in a fun way. Just beware of those pervy episodes. ;)

When it comes to an informative and inspiring yet humorous or funny kind of anime, Kenichi can top it all. You can learn many forms of martial arts coming from different parts of the world in this anime. Though I haven't confirmed if all the details mentioned, in both the manga and anime, are indeed true and correct, I don't think the creator would risk to make up false stories just for the sake of it. From Karate, Muay Thai to Jujitsu or Judo and other types of martial arts, Kenichi would always leave you smiling, thrilled and saying "oh, so that's how it is."

Dragon Ball Z

Remember Kame Hame Ha Wave? Or maybe you played dragon balls hunting? Did you ever wished you could also ride that kinton cloud? DBZ is one of the longest running anime that ever existed; however, it never failed to amuse and amaze its viewers. There are even many different movies and special episodes to count. I myself was not able to watch everything labeled or connected to DBZ. But, like one of the many fans of DBZ, I didnt let any chance slip just to be able to watch the main episodes. Each DBZ saga would always get you so excited and wanting for more. Also, the humor of the characters and the plot itself are quite catchy. Its originality is still yet to be rivalled. Good thing is, other anime creators never dared to make a rip-off of DBZ; or so I think. :D


Ouran High School Host Club

Well, this kind of anime is kind of off the genre if you were to really think about it. The first 3 that I've mentioned were actually action-based anime; however, this one's pure humor and centers to the life of 7 high school students respectively. I like Ouran HS Host Club because I can somehow relate to the main character - Haruhi. The characters are sarcastic, witty and gorgeous! Each episode is jam-packed with fun and creative scenes. Also, I wonder how fun it would be like to become a part of the famous Host Club that is managed by rich brats who have nothing to do with their free time.

Here's the catch, the host club was designed to entertain female or high school girls only. Meaning, the host are all boys. But Haruhi was forced to join the club and pretend to be a boy just to be able to pay her debt. Despite her being petite, she looked really cool and kind of a "cute man" when she started transforming into a boy. She was initially mistaken as a boy because she cut her hair short; but later on, she was found out. However, the all boys host of the club remained silent about it and kept her secret. Gosh, I really want to spill everything; but I'll leave the rest to you. So, give it a try and enjoy.

Well, got to stop from here. Just watch out for my future post regarding the continuation of my top anime picks of all time. ;)

Anime Top Picks Of All Time

I have watched a lot of anime from the past until now. Some were able to capture my interest, while some remained to be a good watch but not something that I'd always remember and love. Let me share to you some of the anime series that I would always love to watch over and over again. These anime titles are perhaps some of the popular ones, if not the best. Just click the titles for more detailed information about each anime:

Rurouni Kenshin - Samurai X

Is it just me? Or there's really something magical and alluring about Kenshin? ehehe. Well, I doubt that this anime has never been heard of.  I feel in love with this anime the first time I saw it. Been watching it whenever I have the time and kept on repeating it whenever I feel bored. The storyline, the fighting scenes, the moves... everything about Samurai X have really touched my heart. There is also humor, and of course, instances of pain and sadness as well as  lessons one should always remember by heart.

One Piece

When it comes to the kind of anime that showcases both humor and action, nothing beats One Piece; well, for me, that is. And surely, One Piece has become a favorite of most anime fans, especially in Japan. It's full of adventures and humor that would always leave your jaws and tummy aching with pleasure. The characters are so fun and cool; and the storyline, man, it just keeps getting better and better.

Gensomaden Saiyuki

This anime is a goal for me. I was not able to fully watch all the episodes of Gensomaden since I only watched it on television. And I'm also quite busy now to stream it online. But if given the chance and time or the means to do so, I'd leisurely dig it even if it would take a day or two sitting in front of either the pc or a tv. I have learned a lot of realistic life lessons here and the lines are just so inspiring. I love all the characters in this anime! :D

Bleach

I have always loved katanas and characters who can gracefully and skillfully use them. That's mainly the reason why I got interested in watching Bleach. Aside from that, the characters are freakingly awesome and good-looking. lol. And hey, that's where I got my ultimate female anime character idol that is Yoruichi. :D But I cant deny that I love Renji and Aizen... wooot2!

Naruto

Well, who doesnt like ninjas? ehehe. Basically, this anime centers in the world of a gutsy ninja and so you can find lots of moves that only a ninja can do. though there are real ninjas in this world, most techniques displayed in naruto are of course, more far-fetched and way beyond the limits and skills of an ordinary ninja. I have always like Naruto, except that there are times that the story isnt very much interesting; sometimes, it's shallow and not really creative. But nevertheless, Naruto is one of the most watched anime and an anime that can be worth your time and appreciation.

I have listed 10 of my all-time faves; so, to be continued... ;)
