Here we are looking at Action anime like Bleach and other action shows from Japan.

Burst Angel

Posted on May 26, 2013May 23, 2016 by Chris Kincaid

Burst Angel is one of those anime’s that I fizzled out on more than halfway through. I considered pushing to the end, but the show just doesn’t appeal to me. The anime is set in the near future and follows a group of female miscreants as they fight against mutated human monsters that cause havok…

Rosario + Vampire Season 2

Posted on March 11, 2013May 23, 2016 by Chris Kincaid

A new semester beings at Yokai Academy! Rosario + Vampire Season 2 starts over from the beginning with Tsukune meeting a new vampire (The driver of many of the season’s conflicts) the same way he met Moko in the first season. The story for season 2 is almost a completely fresh start. There are a …

This Ugly Yet Beautiful World

Posted on July 2, 2012May 23, 2016 by Chris Kincaid

You know it is an anime when people take an alien in stride. This Ugly Yet Beautiful World opens with a mysterious light in the woods and a nude teenage girl. The protagonists Takeru and Ryou are immediately attacked by an anime. Takeru abruptly transforms into a beast version of himself and pummels the alien,…

Corpse Princess

Posted on May 21, 2012May 23, 2016 by Chris Kincaid

Corpse Princess is another anime that missed its potential. It isn’t a bad anime, but it isn’t an excellent anime either. The world doesn’t know it is protected by a group of monks called the Kougun Sect. What is more, the world doesn’t know about shikabane or the Sect’s shikabane hime. The Kougun Sect prefers it…
