Goodmorning, goodafternoon , goodevening, or maybe even goodnight! No idea when you are reading this post ofcourse, but I always try to be polite. So, we are already at the halfway point of February, and that means it is time to reveal the theme for next month. A few of you already knew about this (because really I am terrible at keeping secrets), but for those of you that didn’t yet know or for some reason missed the title of this post: it’s anime! I’m very excited for this month, for not only is it a theme that is very close to my heart, it’s also because if all goes well I have some collab posts lined up that I am really looking forward to. Just like last month I am going to ask you for some help again. For this month I am going to be reviewing two animes that will be selected by you the readers. And yes…..there are again a couple of rules for this. Ugh….I know I hate them too. But let’s get them over with, shall we?
The Rules
Well, don’t worry I’m not going to make them very tough again, so here goes:
- The anime must either be on Crunchyroll or Netflix (please bear in mind that I live in Holland, so not every show might be available to me. If it isn’t I ofcourse will let you know, so you are able to choose another one)
- The anime must have a maximum length of 12-13 episodes (It can be a first season, if it has that number of episodes)
- Any genre of anime is allowed, except full on comedy series (sorry, I just don’t like that genre and would not even know how to write a review for that)
- Leave your choice for the two animes in the comments section
- You can leave a comment on this post up until the 25th of February
- The two animes that will be selected will be revealed on the 1st of March and just like last month I am going to use a random number generator to determine who has won
- The two bloggers that have won will get an honorable mention on my blog
That’s it! Pretty simple huh? As always I want to thank you for your help, and I am really looking forward to seeing what you are going to come up with. Rest assured for the people that are not into anime, there will still be other content as well such as movie reviews and hopefully another Korean drama series. See you on the next post!

Be forewarned, it’s not 2-13s. The series just keeps going. Episode 12 begins a new arc, which lasts about 3-4 episodes.
More than most, the arcs in Escaflowne tend to flow into each other. Only a handful of episodes end on what feels like a stable stopping point.
Don’t get me wrong, I love it. But most episodes just pull you right into the next one.

Well, that’s true. The thing is a long time ago I made a start with Escaflowne. And I am talking about at least 10 years ago here. But never finished it, so I already know it’s pretty awesome. If this gets selected, I will probably split the review in two part. But will have to wait and see if of course it gets selected in the first place.😊😊

And yes there is such a thing and it is ridiculous because how many series do they actually count as mature? Like the boys love ones. 🙄 I actually turned off the filter and SL did show anyway but you could only see the episodes when you search for it (you did write it in two words? If you didn’t you won’t get a hit 🙄 CRs search engine sucks…or possibly hates me) and when you clicked on them a huge warning came about how it might have content that can be sensitive to younger viewers. Then I searched for Citrus and there I came directly to the series front page without a warning or anything. HOW!!! is there any difference between these two series? Except, I mean, the rape elements in Citrus. (no I haven’t seen Citrus but I have read enough about it to realise the huge trigger in it to not see it. Me and rape is not a good combination when it comes to women being sexually assulted) So, why are these two series treated differently? *sorry not gonna rant about it more than this*

Well, people are generally more outraged by boys kissing boys than by girls kissing girls for some reason. I am not sure why but it is the same in real porn. Maybe because it’s straight men who like lesbian porn (and yuri) while it’s gay guys who like gay porn exclusively and women (and some gay men) who like boys love? It is after all, unfortunately, still men who rule this world. And when it comes to sexual abuse, people seem to think that it is worse if it is a man who commits a rape than when it is a woman.

Hmm well there are just so many shows I know you haven’t watched yet XD I’d really enjoy reading any review of yours and I love the idea! I guess I should pick two shows then:
1. Ga-Rei: Zero – Not a lot of folks have talked about this one. It’s a prequel for a manga series so it has one of those “read the manga” endings BUT it is a self-contained story in regards to the major story beats. The first episode is of particular note but I don’t want to spoil anything for ya 😉 There are 12 episodes total. It is a darker series, which I guess shouldn’t be too surprising given who’s recommending it XD
2. For my second recommendation I’ll go for something a bit more upbeat. How about Rolling☆Girls? It’s really different and visually interesting. I wouldn’t say it has the strongest story but the characters are fun. I think you’d have a good time with it. There are 12 episodes for this.
I of course could recommend you stuff all day but I think that this would be a good balance of stuff to watch and write about. Either way, lookin’ forward to it 🙂

Hey, this is your jam! I ain’t no expert in this field but I’ll go ahead and pick Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night cause I was recommended to check them out at some point by friends. No clue if you’ve seen them, but I know I have them on Netflix Canada! 😀 And man, I’ll have a good laugh if you somehow end up watching hentai because of this feature hahah

Ughhh..well I wish I would live in Canada. Unfortunately I live in Holland, as both shows are not available for me to watch 😭😭
Do you perhaps have any other series that you could recommend?
Haha…yeah I know it’s my jam lol. But I really like these interactive engagements and it gives me a chance to promote other bloggers which I always like to do 😊😊

Well, since you’ve showed interest in both of them and figured you’d watch them eventually how about… Blend S and Recovery Of An MMO Junky. I didn’t see anyone else bring them up.

No they haven’t been named so far. Blend S is unfortunately not available for me (ugh…I have typed this line way too often today…sometimes I hate living in Holland). But Recovery of an MMO junky is.
Do you perhaps have a second choice for Blend S?
Thanks for these already by the way, awesome 😊

Castlevania. 4-episode first season and it’s on Netflix, though I’ve no idea if it’s available in Holland.
My Hero Academia’s first season is only 12 or 13 episodes, but I’ve no idea about it’s availability.
What do you mean about comedies? Like, how would you define it, because some shows are pretty funny.

Well…I have already seen Castlevania, a review for that is lurking somewhere on my blog for it lol.
And I can’t get acces to My Hero Academia through official means but someone sent me a link so I might be able to see it in that way.
Do you have a second choice for Castlevania? (Thanks for these by the way. Awesome!)
As for your question. I don’t mind comedy elements in a series. But if it’s a series that is full on comedy and nothing else, that’s where I am not interested in it 😊😊😊

1.)Angel Beats; you referenced a gif of it, the soundtrack, the character development and twists in the plot make this an incredible anime that’s short-lived and leaves you begging for more.
2.) Another; The art style is unique and eerie, the story grabs you from the very start, holy fuck is it brutal. I promise you’ll never look at umbrellas again. This is Final Destination meets anime.

Thanks so much for these recommendations. Starting with number 2…that one really is one of my favorite all time animes. You really aren’t kidding about those umbrellas lol 😂😂 Unfortunately though..I have already watched it and written a review for it.
And the first show I don’t have access to here in Holland….which kind of sucks as it sounds seriously cool as well.

Awee i’m sorry D:
AND I do! I’ve watched over 500 series hopefully these are available or you haven’t seen yet.
If you enjoyed Another you may like Blood-C, it has a similar style, its a short story with an interesting story and right amount of action, but it’s not for a weak stomach.
Charlotte is also a short series that has an interesting story but the ending is a tad bit lack luster but the overall experience was enjoyable.
Just in case adding a third reference; K-On! it’s a slice of life. I wasn’t a huge fan of that genre but this anime blew me away with the soundtrack and the cuteness of all the characters the humor was perfectly spread between each episode; I was in a dark funk at the time and the anime always seemed to lift me out of my crappy mood no matter how bad my days were.
Hope these help, IF NOT I’ve got plenty more suggestions >:3

While there are many anime I like, there are really only two that, to the best of my knowledge, are available via Crunchyroll, fall under 13 episodes, and I would recommend; Baccano and Serial Experiments Lain. They’re both a bit dense, but Baccano is very light hearted, while Serial Experiments Lain is much more serious.
I’d definitely be interested to see what you make of either one.

Thanks…Serial Experiments Lain is a show that has been on my own to watch list for ages. But wouldn’t you know it…it’s not available in Holland..Ugh…figures right?
Baccano is though. So that one goes to the list.
Do you perhaps have a second choice?
Thanks for participating by the way 😊😊

I doubt you have the original Kino’s Journey (not beautiful world), or I’d recommend that. I believe you’ve already done Puella.
I’m a little torn between a few titles. Perhaps you can choose between them, depending on your preference. You will be the one watching after all.
If you’re in the market for an action bounty hunter/mercenary narrative, I’d say Black Lagoon.
If you want something mellow and thoughtful, Haibane Renmei.
If you prefer something darker, but still thoughtful, Death Parade.

Oh Glob, my brain has just frozen up and I can’t remember what anime is on netflix (even though netflix is my main source of entertainment hehe). 😦
The only anime, I can think of is Elfen Lied (Elves song). From what I remember, it was really good, but was rather unusual/creepy and an emotional watch. Not sure, what you’d make of it though. (It’s quite gory and has quite a bit of nudity in it. Not sure, if you’d find it distasteful). But sure, it would be interesting to see your opinion on this anime 😀
