Favorite Animes?
I love any animes with action, adventure, violence, mild blood, horror(no psychodramas), comedy, supernatural, and awesome fighting.
For anyone reading this, here is a (not) complete list of my favorite animes, just for like reference or some shit like that:

Bakuman
Ever wondered about the exciting world of Manga? The in's and out's of the world of editors and the mangaka they're in charge of? How a romance that tests how close to the breaking point you can push people's sense of disbelief? Well, all this and more can be found in the manga rivalry series, created by Death Note's Tsugumi Ohba and Takashi Obata, Bakuman!
Moritaka Mashiro is an average high schooler with average ambitions and a slight talent for drawing. After leaving a drawing of his crush, Miho Azuki, in his notes at school, he returns to find the notes in the hands of Akito Takagi, the smartest kid in his class with the unusual dream of becoming a manga writer, and wants Mashiro to do the artwork. Mashiro refuses, thinking back to his mangaka uncle, who started his career to ask out a girl he loved, but waited too long and eventually worked himself to death. That night, Takagi drags Mashiro to Azuki's home, where he reveals that she dreams of becoming a voice actress. Mashiro agrees on the spot to draw Takagi's manga, and in the spin of the moment, asks her to marry him when their manga is an anime and she voices the heroine. She agrees, but only if they never see each other until their dreams come true. Now Takagi and Mashiro, armed only with determination and the knowledge left behind by Mashiro's uncle, they set out to take the gamble of becoming mangaka, under the name Ashirogi Muto.

Of my Love for Villains
So even though I explained in the previous blog about how my love of Lysander's coat had me very willing to sell out all of humanity, I'd like to explain that it wasn't just his coat that got me to that point. Don't get me wrong, obtaining that coat would have been a major selling point to turn against humanity for me, but it wasn't the only reason. The other reason? Even with all his ridiculous 'All humanity is scum' ranting I couldn't help but start to like the guy, probably because he gave me things, and gave me praise and I do so love getting recognition.
But I've always loved Giovanni, and after reading the Pokemon Special manga for about a year straight now, and starting to return to the fandom through interacting with it online I've really grown to hold that man in high regard. But that's probably because he is one of the few characters in the Pokemon Special that actually seem to do anything to actively save the protagonists life, but that rant is to be saved for another day.

Anime to begin with...
As of the past two weeks or so I've had about eight (I know! Social interaction!) or so people ask me to recommend them some anime to watch/start off with. Those of you that know me in real life will know that I'm an avid anime and manga fan and I will be more than happy to discuss my favourites with you. If you are already a fan and want something else to watch, check out my anime list .
I'm sure not too many people will be interested in this post, but for those of you that are.. let the obsession begin. This is just a very short list of the anime I like to recommend to people who may not really like anime or that want to start watching anime but have no idea where to begin. I hope some of you anime fans out there will agree with me. I've not included any films in this list, but if you are interested, I can make that list for another day. I've also included my thoughts on the dubbed (english) versions, if there are any.
