Mina-san, konbanwa ~
It feels like forever since I’ve talked to you guys! I hope you are still enjoying the Cafe :3
As much as I don’t want to sound stereotypical, I have been very busy lately. And it’s not just school work and such – I’ve just been watching a lot of anime, but not in the mood to review any. That’ll change though – I’ve got the reviewing spirit back!
This past month, during my Spring Break, I had the wonderful opportunity to venture to Naka-Kon by Kansas City, Kansas, my first anime convention. IT WAS UNFORGETTABLE AND AMAZING!! I will slap together a post (with pics :D) if you want to see how it went! My many thanks to all who made the experience so fun and memorable. Domo arigato ~
And without further ado, my usual update:
Recently Finished:
Date A Live – while Tohka was great, it was overall disappointing and did not live up to my expectations, check out the poor little review here
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time – very interesting and artistic film, a classic to time travel for sure, has not been reviewed by me yet
Ben-To – I probably had more fun with this show than I should have, but who cares! Check out a tasty review here
Kill la Kill – 5/5 entertainment wise! Masterful execution, lead characters, music, and quirky art, for more click here
Wolf Children – the first half was excellent, showing off the ideal, optimistic and persevering mother, but the second half about the children growing up was frankly a bit depressing, sad but beautiful movie, apologies for no review
Yona of the Dawn – I decided to jump on this one towards the end of the simulcast season and I did not regret it one bit! The story was classic, characters were fun to watch, and the traditional Japanese tone was cool, review on the way!
Parasyte -the maxim- – it has finally come to its end, and while I wish we got to know more about the parasites’ background, I was still moved and will miss Migi 😥
Currently watching:
Log Horizon 2 – I will miss this one when I watch the last episode, but I heard they might do a season 3 . . .
ALDNOAH.ZERO – I have one episode left, and things are definitely wrapping up, what’ll happen next??
Soul Eater – after meeting Micah Solusod in person at Naka-Kon, he inspired me to check out this infamous show, so I picked this one up
SHIROBAKO – haven’t started this one, but I heard it’s about the anime industry. You have my attention
Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign – one of the spring simulcasts, looking forward to high-energy fights and glorious animation!
Fate/ stay night: Unlimited Blade Works – if you know me, then you would know I’m a big Fate fan! Woohoo for ufotable – can’t wait to watch the epic second half
Finally, I have a My Anime List account!! You can find me and friend 🙂 me here:

I guess that’s all on the menu today. Please look forward to my Naka-Kon post, Yona of the Dawn review, and Parasyte -the maxim- review. So what’s new with you? What are you looking forward to this spring season in anime? Comment below! Thanks for reading and until next time, this has been

Kill La Kill, Wolf Children and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time are all great.

I know, right! I had a great March for anime.

I’ve been interested in Yona of the Dawn since it started airing but have never gotten around to watching. It seems like its really worth the watch.
I enjoyed what I saw of Soul Eater (I ended up not finishing it for some reason) however I was never a big fan of the English dub. I just thought the voices sounded wonky, for lack of a better explanation.

Interesting, as I was wanting to hear Micah Solusod’s performance as Soul. And yeah, give Yona of the Dawn a watch. I sure liked it!

Micah Solusod as Soul is one of the better voices, in my opinion, but he did feel a little to calm and not quite crazy enough in the parts I’ve seen. I’ve seen more of the show in Japanese than English though so I could have missed some really good scenes from later in the series for Micah as Soul.

Sounds good. I suppose I’ll have to wait and see for myself, or rather, hear for myself.
