Day 3: Favourite Anime OP

I was wracking my brain over this one and even enlisted the help of Chelsie (whose blog you should check out here!), and somehow this theme completed evaded us until it came to me in a flash of inspiration, and it was so obvious once I thought of it.

The answer for the greatest anime OP of all time is of course the Ouran High School Host Club OP. Ouran is actually one of the few anime I’ve watched the dub of, so I’ve gone for the dubbed OP, but the Japanese version slaps too!

When’s the perfect time to revive a dead feature? Social isolation! In an ideal world I’d kick back off on the second day of the month so each new theme starts in a brand new month, but if I keep thinking like that, I’ll never get these posted! I think I might try and double up on some posts and make that a goal for the start of April!

Day 2: Most recent completed anime

As is customary for the start of any new anime season, at the start of the winter season, I took on far too many seasonal shows. I’ve ended up dropping a fair few (and one was put on indefinite hiatus, boo!), but a few have remained. The first to finish was Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It.

The premise of the show is that two ‘science types’ confess their love for each other, but then set about proving their love by completing a series of experiments. It’s a really funny show, and really light-hearted. I’ll try and get a proper review up soon, but to cut the mystery, I gave it a 7 on MAL, which is pretty decent!

Day 1: Very first anime

Way back before I even knew what anime was, back when I was 11 or 12, my first was Pokémon. Pokémon was something I was pretty obsessed with in my youth, and still enjoy playing now. I haven’t watched the anime for a really long time, probably since I was about 13 or so – when I last watched it they were still in the Kanto region. I’m not certain I would watch it now. I feel like it’s a lot of time to invest into something, and Pokémon has already had enough of my time.

As an adult making a conscious decision to watch anime, the first anime I watched was Death Note. Death Note is something I should probably rewatch as I can’t really remember, but it still holds a fond place in my heart. I even cosplayed L a couple of years ago – here’s a photo of that with my friend, Chelsie,as Misa.

Whilst I get my new features off the ground, and get planning new content, I thought I’d ressurect an old feature; 30 Days Of.

If you recall, these were daily (theoretically anyway) blog posts centred around a theme. We kicked off with 30 Days Of: Gaming, and also ended there… Whoops. I do think I might revisit gaming as looking back on some of my answers, things have definitely changed.

For now, I’m going to take a stab at 30 Days Of: Anime using these prompts I found online.
