Until yesterday, I thought I was an anime fan. But then, I took an arrow in the knee.
Ok, not funny anymore!
Actually, there are only 3 anime that I truly enjoyed in my entire existence.
1. Fate/stay night
I still don't understand why the title is stylized like that but yeah pretty much all the actions happened at night because the whole Holy Grail, Servants and Masters thingy must be hidden from the general public. Saber, the main female character is a warrior and a king in her past life (like being a warrior is not hot enough!). Her complex relationship with the main male character, Shiro is sort of like Bella + Edward story but thousand times better and importantly, in a good way. But beware of the ending, consistent with the overall darker tone of this story, the epilogue left me heartbroken but undeniably, it was the perfect ending, can't argue with that.
2. The Law of Ueki
Surprisingly, the backbone of the story resembles Pokemon but the similarities stop there. I still remember watching the whole series with my nephews and nieces, we cheered for Ueki and his team together :) To say that the series is funny is an understatement. It is witty, creative (you will never guess what the powers of the characters would be, or how the battle would turn out). This is simply one of those rare anime that seems too childish for me but turned out to be very inspirational and 'clean' to be watched together with your younger relatives.
3. Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji
Bite me, but I do have a maaaaaaaajor crush on Sebastian. Oh wait, he's a demon? But he can cook and he fights with silverware. Can we just forget that he is...ermmm...a demon? I always wondering, wouldn't it be better if Ciel is not a boy but is a 18 years old girl. That would save me some sanity. Honestly, somehow by watching this series, being a gay pedophile doesn't seem like a distant idea.
Anyway, back to the series, I can hardly believe my luck, stumbled across this anime. 19th century London setting? Check! Epic wardrobe collection? Check! Sexy British accent? Check! Paranormal twist? Check! Flawed, revengeful yet cute Ciel? Check!
In short, it's hard not to be a fangirl when you constantly having nosebleed throughout the series. Beware of Grell Sutcliff, even he certainly not going to cause you a nosebleed, you'll adore him...or her? Nevermind!
This is also the first series that unleash the manga reader in me. Honestly, how do I know you have to read a manga page from right to left. And I started drinking the exotic Earl Grey tea because of the series! Now, it's my favorite flavour!
I'm in a quest to elongate this list. Suggestions welcomed! I tried Darker than Black, Colorcloud Princess, Hayate the Combat Butler, Angel Beats. None works~
