Not sure if I ever said this in my opening articles on
this blog, but most of the Anime I review is from my own personal
collection. Not that that’s all I watch. You’ve seen reviews for shows (and rants) on
series that ive seen on Official Youtube Channels and in the theaters. I watch a lot of Anime on Netflix and always
wondered what titles id tackle when/if I ever run out of my own personal collection
to cover. So with that in mind, here’s a
list of 5 series I’d really like to cover on Netflix sometime in the
future. Might even consider one for
2016, that schedule is still being planned out.
#5-Durarara
A part of Tokyo where the normal tries its best to live
alongside the strange, powerful and amazing.
Ikebukero has never had the best travel brochure than Durarara. The story telling structure may be a bit
jarring at first (several stand alone episodes to cover EACH of the lead cast
before telling a story through multiple episodes showing going on at the same
time). But once you get into it,
Durarara never lets go of your attention.
It’s got some of the best cliffhangers that make it a binge worthy
Anime, you gotta know what happens next.
Plus it’s got some of the most complex and memorable characters like
Celty, Mikado and Izaya, one of my most hated yet credit where credit is due
bad guys in Anime history. I think some
review time in Ikebukero is in order.
#4-Kill La Kill
When I first saw this series, I had no clue what to
expect besides cute girls in skimpy outfits.
What I got at the end of Kill La Kill was all of that and more. Amazing action, a great cast (including Mako
and Guts), some of my favorite opening and ending themes, and the rush of watching
something so bizzare and special that I had not felt since FLCL. Way too often does Kill La Kill take a turn
into crazy town. And I think it’s a kind
of series I haven’t covered much on this page.
Need to change that sometime.
#3-Aldnoah Zero
I’ve only seen the first half of this series on Netflix
(all that’s available right now). But
what I both like what I’ve seen and am also way too confused and befuddled by
characters and their motivations. Inaho
is an emotionless Anime Sherlock type.
Slain is trapped in the friend zone by a princess and constantly beat on
by Mars Orbital Knights who seem to have a fetish for this thing. There’s a Mars Princess with a Sailor Moon
complex and a daughter of a Mars assassin who is never without her hoody. Oh and there’s giant robots straight out of
Zone of the Enders. If it sounds like im
ragging on this one a bit, im not believe me.
If anything I’m very curious how this will all play out and would love
to cover it all sometime. I can see why
many hailed this as a must see for Mobile Suit Gundam fans.
#2-Puella Magica Madoka Magica
One of the most tragic Anime I have ever seen. Whether it’s watching the movies (except for
Rebellion) or the series, you cant get through the whole thing without a boat
load of tears and feels. I really cant
think of many flaws Madoka Magica has and the highs are too numerous to layout
in one simple summary. This could be as
close an Anime has come to being perfect and it def deserves coverage at some
point. Maybe the one thing holding me
back is the amount of feels…you just really wanna hug someone after you finish
a watch…oh Homura, sniff.
#1-Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works
This could easily be a summer project for me. Fate/Zero being the prequel to Fate/Stay
Night and Unlimited Blade Works being a particular route of the Fate/Stay
series, these two transition well from one into the other. Seeing two generations of mages duke it out
for the Holy Grail while embroiled in their own personal wars of ideology and
greed would make for great compares and contrasts. Plus both series have some of the best
animation quality and action scenes I have ever seen in an Anime. On top of that, both have two of my favorite
new Anime heroines: Saber and Rin (even as a kid she kicks all kinds of
ass). It’s got highs and lows but id
love watching and covering them all.
Anyone got any suggestions for shows I haven’t seen yet
or think would make for good review on this blog? Leave a comment and I’ll check em out.
