My Top 5 Anime You Can Watch in a Day

Konichiwa minna!

It's me again, Anime Girl. I am here with a new post devoted to the best anime that you can watch in one day. These are actually my favorite kind of anime because, as said in the post before this one, I get easily bored by the same thing. So, I prefer watching shorter anime. The problem is that anime with 12-13 episodes don't have the time for a solid plot to develop. But anime with 24-25 episodes do. I love them! So next time you have a day off, pick one of these anime and enjoy! And here they are: MY TOP 5 ANIME YOU CAN WATCH IN A DAY!

N°5  NORAGAMI (2014) & NORAGAMI ARAGATO (2015)

Noramagmi is a two-seasonal-anime with 12 and 13 episodes respectively. On a whole, the anime has 25 episodes and has a rating of 8,17 and 8,53 (per season). It is a very cute and interesting anime  placed in the genres action, adventure, shounen and supernatural. The story of Noragami is about a the self-proclaimed "Delivery-God" called Yato. Yato is dreaming of becoming a God with millions of worshippers and a shrine and thus, does odd jobs for 5 yen. During and accident he meets Hiyori, whose soul now can leave the body and Yato, as a god, has to fix it. It is a romance, action, adventure and hilarious story that will make you cry of laughter and true emotions. As said, it is hilarious, mostly because of Yato, one of my favorite characters ever. But even though he seems like an idiot, Yato´s personality is far deeper and more complex. If you want an anime to relax, try this one. You´ll love it! 

N°4 AKAME GA KILL! (2014)

Akame ga Kill or originally, Akame ga Kiru is a 24 episode long anime that has a rating of 7,86, too low in my opinion. When I fished it last summer I gave it a 9/10 on MAL. Akame ga Kill is an action, adventure and fantasy anime that follows our protagonist Tatsumi on his way in becoming an assassin. He joins Night Raid, a branch of the Revolutionary Army that fights to overthrow the corrupt government and the evil Prime Minister. The anime is a masterpiece that has an intriguing story, with a solid plot and amazing action scenes. Romance is also there but the thing that is really important is the kind of "hidden message". Akame ga Kill is, in my opinion, more like a reflection of today´s society and government all over the world. One more special thing about Akame ga Kill are the "Imperial Arms" or special weapons that Night Raid is using. A truly amazing anime! Worth every second! 

N°3 ARSLAN SENKI /THE HEROIC LEGEND OF ARSLAN (2015)

After finishing the first episode of this anime, I dropped it. Later on, I gave it one more try and I am so glad that I did, because Arslan Senki is amazing. It is an historic anime about the young prince of Pars that lost the capital city of the kingdom in a battle to Lusitania, a neighboring kingdom. He soon sets off on an adventure together with general Darjun and tries to take back his capital. It´s an adventure, historical, drama, action and fantasy anime that has a lower rating than it deserves. The MAL comunity rated it as a 7,89/10, but I gave it a 9. It is truly amazing. From the story and the plot, over the characters and back to animation, Arslan Senki is perfect. Yet the thing that I liked the most about it were the battle strategies. They were so intriguing and trust me, you´ll finish this anime 100% in one day just because of it. You won´t be able to stop watching! 

N°2 PSYCHO-PASS 

This is the most amazing Sci-Fi anime ever! Psycho-Pass is an action, police, Sci-Fi and most importantly, psychological anime that is ranked #88 on MAL. The story takes place in the 22nd century's Japan where the "Sibyl System"  determines the crime coefficient of every citizen and so gives a "proper" judgement. In such a world, young inspector Akane Tsunemori, tries to hold on her honest mean of justice, but soon realizes that the Sibyl system is not as perfect as she thought it was. Yet, the real "action" starts when a certain criminal Shougo Makashima with no crime coefficient, terrorizes the city. Guys you have to believe me, this is the best villain you'll ever see. He is a brilliant mastermind that does everything with such a joy and ease. The characters are so amazing and interesting whereas the animation is even better. One of the best animation ever! So, Psycho-Pass! MUST WATCH! 

N°1 AKATSUKI NO YONA/ YONA OF THE DAWN (2015)

It was so hard to decide the first place between Akatsuki no Yona and Psycho Pass. Yet, in the end I chose Akatsuki no Yona, not because it is better, but because I kinda love it more. I am literary fan-girling all the time about this anime. It is an adventure, comedy, fantasy and romance anime about cute, little princes Yona of the Kouka kingdom. The story starts when the man she loves kills her father and she then escapes with her bodyguard and best friend Son Hak. The background story is actually a legend about four dragons with special powers that served king Hiryu of Kouka. It is an amazing take about a little girl growing up and becoming strong enough to take back her kingdom. It is also hilarious from time to time and you just can´t get enough of it. Too bad, there is no season two announced and the story has not finished. Gladly, the manga is still airing and currently I am waiting for chapter 123. Akatsuki no Yona is definitely my favorite anime and I hope I´ll soon be seeing more of it. I hope that you´ll give it a try! 

HONORABLE MENTION: 

Toradora (2008), Tokyo Ghoul (2014) & Tokyo Ghoul √A (2015), Tokyo Ravens (2014), Kaze no Stigma/ Stigma of the Wind (2007), Gosick (2011), Garo: Honoo no Kokuin (2014).  

So guys, this is the end of the My Top 5 for this time. I hope this will help you decide the next anime on your "to watch list". Next up is probably one more My top 5, but this time it´ll be about heroes and villains! Thanks for reading!

My Top 5 Anime You Can Watch in Less Than 6h

Kon'nichiwa Minna, 

It's watashi, Anime Girl. I hope you're all doing well. It's a lazy, rainy Sunday evening and I think you all know what fits perfectly with an afternoon like this. A short but good anime, round 12 episodes, desu ne? Good thing is that the anime world is full of short anime that you can watch in less than 6 hours. The problem: which one should you watch? Being someone that loves shorter anime, I probably have in my "completed" list an anime for you, and so I came up with the topic for this particular post: "My Top 5 Anime You Can Watch in Less Than 6h ". Enjoy!

N°5 ONE PUNCH MAN (2015)

Do I really need to talk about this one? One Punch Man was probably the most hyped anime ever. Everyone was crazy about it and as expected it quickly hit the Top 20 of Anime on My Anime List. Ranked #15 OPM has a rating of 8.91 but after watching it, I gave it an 8. OPM doesn't have a story line to follow, nor a solid plot. Things just happen there. You literary watch it because it is so hilarious. The "story" is about a guy called Saitama that, together with his pupil Genos, joins the Hero Association, in order to become a certified Hero. It is just ridiculous.  The main character is an overpowered guy that doesn't seem to know whats happening around him most of the time. His facial expression says: "Wat?". If you want an anime with a story, don't watch it. But if you just want to relax and forget your problems by laughing a little bit, watch the hilarious and action loaded "One Punch Man".

N°4 NO GAME NO LIFE (2014)

This anime belongs to a couple of genres, but the best describing ones would be: adventure, fantasy, game-play and comedy. With a rating of 8,50, NGNL is ranked #98 on My Anime List and certainly deserves a place in my Top 5 short anime. It is a story about Sora and Shiro, a NEET brother and sister who are actually a well-known gamer duo playing under the username "Kuuhaku". One day they suddenly got plunged into a different world called Disboard ruled by Ted, the God of Games. No Game No Life is an anime whose story is not as interesting as the happenings of which it is made of. The way they use strategy and intellect while playing is so intriguing and catchy making your brain work at least a little bit more than usual. The thing that I liked the most is the animation. You should give it a try, No Game No Life! 

N°3 AO HARU RIDE/ BLUE SPRING RIDE (2014)

Ao Haru Ride or Blue Spring Ride was my first romance anime ever and it was awesome! Ao Haru Ride is ranked #632 and has a rating of 7,92, I gave it an 8. It is a cute story about high school, teenage problems, family and a cute romance. The main character Futaba Yoshioka, was an overly perfect middle school student popular with the boys but mostly hated by the girls because of that. That's why she changes her personality in high school and hopes to find new friends. One thing you should know, the story is not finished. The manga is, but the anime only has one season and I am really hoping for a second one because the manga is great. Drama, fun and plot twists, those are all things that make Ao Haru Ride so awesome. I didn't usually like romance anime but this anime convinced me to give them a try! So you should give this anime definitely a try, too. Ao Haru Ride!

N°2 ZENKYOU NO TERROR/ TERROR IN RESONANCE (2014)

I should watch this anime again... Zenkyou no Terror is a psychological and sociological anime about terrorism. But what looks like an anime about two guys blowing up Tokyo here and there actually turns out to be a story that questions society and politics and the truth behind it. The anime is amazing and very interesting due to all those riddles that the boys Twelve and Nine give before their attack. If the police solves the riddle, the attack won't take place. But as I said in the beginning, they terrorize the city in order to uncover some secrets of the state. There are no bad and good guys, just the ones seeking change, some that try to hide the past and a couple of police officers caught in between trying to protect innocent citizens. How interesting is that? This anime is rated as an 8,28 yet I gave it a 9, because I personally love anime with secret social messages. Zenkyou no Terror!

N°1 DEATH PARADE (2015)

This anime deserves a better MAL rating than just 8,37. I gave it a 9/10 because it is so amazing. Death parade is a psychological anime that really makes you think about life and society. It leads you to a whole new level of understanding of what or who is good or bad. In the afterlife, two persons take part in a game where it is decided who is going to reincarnate and who will fall into he void. The game-master, Decim, soon changes his own perspective and rule of the "game" after meeting someone who is caught in between due to loss of memories.  It is a drama, psychological and mystery thriller that has amazing characters, awesome background stories and life-questioning scenes. There is not much happening and just when you think it got boring something bumps out and turns your attention upside down making you want more and more. Emotional, dramatical and intriguing! A true No1. in this ranking that is worthy every second of the round 5 h you'll spent watching it. You certainly need to give it a try. DEATH PARADE!

HONORABLE MENTION: 

Another (2012), Snow White With the Red Hair (2015), Akuma no Riddle (2014), Schwarzesmarken (2016) and Kyoukai no Kanata (2013).

Fact is, shorter anime don't have enough time for a truly amazing story, but for that episode count these anime did a great job. A lot people don't like anime that are this short but I love them. It is because I get easily bored by one and the same thing so just in time when it might become boring the anime finishes and I have the chance to start a new one. I hope there are more guys out there that love short anime just as I do! And next time you don't know what to do with your Sunday afternoon, look up this post and try one of these anime, I highly recommend all of these.

Akagami no Shirayuki-hime: ANIME REVIEW

Good evening my dear anime folk,

Maybe you remember from my previous post Fact and Stuff Anime Head Should Know the hair color symbolism in anime-the hair color describes the personality. BLACK, for instance, stands for an independent, mysterious, powerful character while BLUE means that a character is mature, wise, talented, introverted etc. The color that interests us for now is RED-passionate, enthusiastic, adventurous, dynamic and opinionated which are exactly the characteristics of our main character. Back in Summer 2015, this anime was quite popular but it was the red color that caught my attention a couple of days ago. One side-fact, I love red-haired-characters. So, I gave it a try, and now the review on : "Akagami no Shirayuki-hime" aka. "Snow White with the Red Hair". Enjoy!

-Plot and Story Line-

To begin with some extra info: ranked #621 Akagami no Shirayuki-hime has a rating of 7.93 on MyAnimeList, which is just the right rating in my opinion. Akagami no Shirayuki-hime is a drama, fantasy and romance anime, with a little bit of adventure and action here and there. I would add adventure to the genre list on MAL, but okay... Now let's see what's it about.

Our main protagonist is Shirayuki which actually means Snow White, but as said in the beginning, she has red hair and everyone knows her for that. Her red hair is well known in the country of Tanbarun where she works as an apothecary in her own herb  shop. Even the prince of Tanbarun, Raji, hears about her beautiful hair and decides to make her his concubine. Not wanting to even thing about such a fate, she cuts her hair and flees in the neighboring country-Clarines to start a new life there. Accidentally, she meets the 2nd Crown Prince of Clarines, Zen and his two comrades.  Soon they become very close friends and start a journey full of adventures, common enemies and much more. Zen and Shirayuki support each other in achieving their goals; Hers-to become a court herbalist and his-to become a prince worthy of his title. 

For a twelve episode long anime, the story line is pretty solid and even tough you get the feeling that the plot is a little bit forced and rushed it actually fits pretty good. I loved the fact that they did not only concentrate on the relationship between Zen and Shirayuki although it is the main story line. There were a couple of side stories, a couple of background stories and some little extra story lines that supported the main one.

Most important thing for me, there were no plot holes and the story is pretty interesting too. I also had to laugh hard a couple of times. This anime is awesome if you just want to relax and forget your problems for a couple of hours. It makes your heart melt a couple of times but it doesn't cause any stress and that kind of stuff. My recommendation, watch it over the weekend after a hard week and you'll feel much better right after. 

One thing that'll made me remember this anime is definitely the, let's say, character trend in anime. The thing that Sakura did in Naruto or Yona in Yona of the Dawn is actually better known in some cartoons as Mulan and The legend of Korra. The main character cuts her long hair to show that she is a new person now and that she is taking another, stronger and more independent path than before. I personally loved that move, because I love independent and strong female characters, but seeing it a couple of times now, it got a bit boring. I don't thing it will fascinate me in another anime again,  but we shall see. 

True the anime is cute but I don't think I could watch the second season. At least not now. There is too much cliche romance in it and I found that a bit annoying. But, I am not a great romance fan, meaning it is actually my subjective way of thinking. If you like romance, you'll love Akagami no Shirayuki-hime. 

Still, the anime is not perfect which is why I rated it as a 8 on MAl. One reason is the lack in background information about Shirayuki's life. Where are her parents? What did she do all her life? Where does she come from if her hair was so unusual? Not sure if the second season tells us more, but the first one left a huge question mark in my head. 

In the end I gotta say, I wouldn't have mind if there were a couple of episodes more between the beginning and the highlight of the first season. The show was cute, nice to watch and interesting. Thumbs up!

-Characters- 

The characters are the second reason I rated this anime with an 8. They are too perfect to be good cahracters. I always say, characters with flaws are better because they have sth to work on when it comes to their personality. That's what makes them interesting. In this review I'll say a few things about the main two:

SHIRAYUKI is as said in the beginning, when I explained the color symbolism, extremely enthusiastic, adventurous, dynamic and opinionated. She has the ability to cheer up everyone and always takes care about "doing the right thing", honesty and such things, which can be annoying sometimes. She also ends up being the heroine every time a problem pops out. As I said before, her personality is overly perfect, thus I am not extremely found of her character. But she could represent a good idol for 5-year-olds.

ZEN WISTALIA CLARINES is the most adorable character I've seen in a long time. Even tough his personality is also too perfect and without a single flaw, I could not not like him. Living in the shadow of his older brother, Zen is working hard and trying to become a real prince. He is a little bit naive and a very good person,  but when it comes to important matters or conflicts in his country he  solves them as a real prince without considering his subjective opinion or feelings. He is literary the dream prince every little girl wants to marry when she gets older.

-Animation and Style-

If there is one segment of this anime that deserves a higher note than 10/10 then it is the animation. It is really awesome and beautiful. I can't remember any anime that had such a good animation. Truly amazing. Bright and colorful settings, detailed characters and backgrounds and amazing details.  When it comes to the style of Akagami no Shirayuki-hime, there is nothing much to say. Just like the animation, it is flawless. I loved it and will definitely from now on use this anime as an example of amazing animation. One more thing. While watching the first episode I actually thought of quitting because I found it a little bit stupid in the beginning, but I continued because of the animation. I couldn't miss such a great animation work being someone that hates and usually skips anime with bad animation.  

-Conclusion-

If you had a really thug week and you need an anime just to relax and forget about the world for a day, watch Akagami no Shirayuki-hime. It will take you on a little journey, to a different universe where everything is nice, cute and perfect. It will melt your heart in a couple of scenes but you will survive it. I liked the anime even though it was annoying in some moments but you can get over it. The animation and the character and background looks will please your eyes like no anime before. Give it a try and if you decide to watch the second season too, tell me how it was.

"Akatsuki no Yona" Needs Season Two

(A little spoiler alert in the beginning for those who haven't seen the first season!)

First of all hello my dear readers, I hope you're all doing well. I guess you already know from the title what this post might be about. If you didn't pay that much attention, no worreh, I'll tell you. This post is devoted to my probably favorite anime of all. What started as a story of a little 16-year-old princess became a tale I literary fell in love with. Action, adventure, drama, romance...Everything is mixed up in the story of Akatsuki no Yona aka. Yona of the Dawn. After I finished the anime I had to continue reading the manga which is actually unlikely for me, but I did it. I guess all of you that finished the anime recall the scene in the picture above-the highlight of the season. The moment Yona finally becomes a true warrior. Last thing we see in the anime, the group finally meets the last dragon, the Golden dragon called Zeno. What happens next is told in the manga...
Now, the manga is actually the MAIN REASON Akatsuki no Yona needs season 2. It is truly amazing. I must say that I like it more than the first season of the anime. I usually do not believe that a second half can get better, but man, AnY really convinced me that it is possible. But what is now so good in the manga of AnY after the happenings that are told in the anime?

The first thing that comes to my mind is Zeno, the Golden dragon. I've read in many forums that one of the things people don't like in the anime is that the last dragon comes out of nowhere, without any story. True that, you don't get to know Zeno that much in the anime, but the manga and the potential season 2 give a detailed background story about that cute guy. I can surely say that it's one of the most amazing background stories I've read/seen. 
Secondly, why AnY needs season 2 is the drama. I won't tell you much but guess what would happen if one of the dragons fell in love with Yona? I don't know either, it's just an assumption,but I am, let's say, 89% sure that it is true. (If you have read the manga tell me what you think in the comments bellow!) Also, can you imagine the emotionality when two ex-best friends, now sworn enemies, meet again? I'll just tell you that it broke my heart. 
In the end, why AnY needs another season, is the story it self. What looks like a steady filler story about the Water tribe and the nadai incident, is actually the main story line that carries the most important twist and plot highlights. It is amusing, amazing and incredibly catchy making you want to read more chapter by chapter. 
As for me, a great Akatsuki no Yona fan, I can just wait for another season to come out and write in my blog how amazing that would be. 
Now, if you agree with the title: "Akatsuki no Yona needs Season Two" than +1, like and share this with your community and friends!

Code: Geass-Boukoku no Akito/ Akito the Exiled: ANIME REVIEW

I am sure you've all been in a situation where you finish watching an anime and just say: "Where is more?". Also, I am 100% sure that you wanted more after watching one of the best and most popular anime in history. Ranked #18 and with a rating of 8,85 on MAL, Code: Geass made it easier for you not to miss it that much because we got another Code: Geass side story in July, 2012. I am talking about the 5-episode-long story named Boukoku no Akito aka. Akito the Exiled. I hope you'll enjoy this review just as much as I enjoyed watching the anime. So, shall we start?

Plot and Story Line

I'll start right away with the first reason I loved Boukoku no Akito. The story of the exiled Akito is set in between the two seasons of Code: Geass and everything is happening in Europe. It shows us what is happening on the other side of World when in Japan the "Black Knights" are fighting Holy Britannian Empire and Zero appears to be dead. So, you have the year 2017 and the Europia United (E.U.) are being invaded by the strong Britannia. The E.U. forms a special unit with the name "W-0" and one of the members of the team is Akito Hyuga, our protagonist. Beside Akito, the story gives us one more protagonist, the main female, Leila Malcal. (Yes, she has a similar name to mine Leila-Lejla (It's pronounced Leyla). She is a former Britannian aristocrat, who comes to help out as the commander of the Wyvern Knightmare corps that consists of Japanese teenagers. Those teenagers fled along with their families from "Area 11" to Europe in hope to survive the war. Our story begins when the Wyvern K. unit is sent to the battlefield with a 5% chance of survival. Their mission: rescue an allied unit that was left behind on the European war front. 

When it comes to the story line I want to say that it is really amazing. True, it's not as good as the original Code: Geass but it's still a good anime. It's intriguing, the story is catchy and the story line is smooth with a couple of amazing background stories. A great thing about it, there are almost no plot holes (I'll come to the almost later) and the anime length is just right. All the happenings fit perfectly into those 5 hours. 

I don't want to say who it is, but Boukoku no Akito shows us two very familiar characters from the original Code:Geass. It was great to see them again and to actually find out about what is happening to them between season 1 and 2. So be excited. 

Boukoku no Akito has, as mentioned before, a great background story. The story tells us the history of the Hyuga family. A story about Akito, his brother and his parents. It's an interesting story that found its place in the anime trough a couple of flashbacks. 

Boukoku no Akito introduces also more geass powers, but some of them are rather different than the usual ones. True, we have already seen geass powers, yet they kinda just contribute to the story making it a pinch more interesting and awesome than it already is.

 I said before "there are almost no plot holes" and with almost I only have one plot hole in the whole story that left me with a little question mark above my head. The end of the last episode got a little bit complicated explaining all the  supernatural geass stuff. The end is a bit rushed leaving not enough time to get across the things that were happening at that moment. 

But on the whole, there are no significant flaws in the anime. Intriguing, catchy, amazing. And this would be it about the plot and story line. Off to the characters!

Characters

When it comes to the characters of this anime, I need to say that they are quiet good. I won't talk about them one by one, so I'll just talk about them in general. 

The thing that makes the characters in Boukoku no Akito special are actually their background stories. That's why I, at least, loved them. When we talk about personality, I can surely say that two characters took my attention. Akito, of course, but not because he was the protagonist. It's more his quiet and calm behavior that I loved about him. He always had a clear mind even in the most dangerous of situations. Not to mention his combat skills and strength...The second character is also a male. I don't have a particular reason for that, but Ashley  Ashra is one of my favorites. It's just his temper and the way he acts that made me like his character. When it comes to Leila, she is the strong and overly perfect main female character. A bit cliche but I can't deny it, I loved her. As for the overall character impression, thumbs up!   

Animation and Style

The animation of this anime is just amazing. Bright colors, smooth, fast movements... Everything is just as it should be and especially in the last episode. I did expect a great animation because even the original Code:Geass had an amazing animation despite being produced in the years 2006-2007. 

The style is typically Code: Geass. The unique character looks really stick out when it comes to anime. Some anime did uniqueness extremely wrong and just ruined an anime, but the Sunrise studios did their job right.  

Conclusion

Boukoku no Akito is a 5-episode-long side story of the masterpiece widely knows as Code: Geass. I'll make it short for you. The 5 hours I spent watching it were worth every single second. True it isn't the original Code: Geass and it is not as good as the original but it's still great. And don't worry it won't ruin your impression on Code: Geass in any way because this comes as a side story, so it doesn't affect the happenings in Code: Geass. So if I were you, I wouldn't miss it.
