Dragonball Z

Dragonball Z

As regular readers might know, I have my own corner of this site dedicated to Japanese Horror.  Don’t get me wrong I like anime, just not as much as my brother does.  Some of them are cool, and some have decent stories and memorable characters as well.  Many of them though have a lot of bad habits, a list of which I helped flesh out although I didn’t write it.  Anime does some things very, very badly.  And, while a lot of fans might disagree, I feel Dragonball Z is a poster child for these bad habits.

I wasn’t much into anime in high school, the only show I watched consistently was Inuyasha, but even then I’d heard of Dragonball Z.  It’s billed as the best fighting manga ever written, and it was pretty popular amongst my peers who were into that sort of thing.  I only watched one episode in ...

Inuyasha

Inuyasha

Inuyasha opens in feudal Japan. The half-demon Inuyasha attacks a village to steal the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls. The Jewel enhances the possessor’s powers and grants a single wish.

Omamori Himari

Omamori Himari

Take Inuyasha and cross it with a horny 13 year old’s dreams and you get Omamori Himari. I will go ahead with the disclaimer: this anime is full of anime nudity and sexual comedy mainly at the protagonist’s expense. It can be classified as harem or nearly echii. Wikipedia has the series labeled as shonen – male oriented – which is understandable with the way the female characters form a harem around Yuto Amakawa, the main protagonist. However, the female characters are strong willed and far more able than Yuto. The female protaganist and Yuto’s protector, Himari Noihara, is especially strong and capable.

Omamori Himari begins with Yuto Amakawa suddenly under attack from demons or ayakashi after a charm his grandparents gave him stops working on his 16th birthday. Himari bounces to the rescue (literally bounces – the bust sizes rarely drop below double G). Yuto discovers she is a demon ...
