Anime Relations: High Score Girl, High Score Girl: Extra Stage, High Score Girl II

It's my first review! It is about the HSG manga. I really want to start writing reviews from time to time expressing why I like (or dislike) the animanga I experience. So, this was my first try. I tried to follow this site review guidelines. Just writing about the way the story is presented without spoilers. I took my time with it for it to be a concise and clear review. Here it is the review! Sorry for bad english!

Anime Relations: Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba, Bakemonogatari

First of all, I love anime and manga and I've always consumed this media via fansubs and scanlations. I think this has to change. There are two main reasons for this:

• I want to experience these artistics works that I aprecciate very much in a more genuine manner. I want to learn the original language to understand more accurately the original portrayal of authors' ideas. I think there is value on that. I can present as an example the Monogatari series light novels. There's a lot of "messages" that are lost with translation and they can only be aprecciated at their fullest with the original Japanese.
  
• More practically, I want to access to works that are not translated. One of which I really wanted to read but couldn't because of the language barrier is the manga from Aoyama Gosho, Yaiba. As of the writing of this entry, there is no complete translation anywhere on the internet. It's not even licensed. So yeah, this title triggered me to learn Japanese.
  

I really like learning new stuff and challenging myself. Learning a new language has a lot benefits too so it had to happen one day that I learn Japanese. I think I can make something good out of this while having fun with anime and manga :3

Anime Relations: Mirai Nikki, Mirai Nikki (TV)

I just finished reading all of the Mirai Nikki main story plus the extra stories including main series, Mosaic, Paradox and Redial. I also watched the first OVA. I enjoyed it al!
Considering I'm about to read the yonkoma and I already watched the anime ages ago, there's very little for me to complete in this franchise. As of now, I'm not interested in completing what's left, but I will do it in the future. There is left the light novel and some extra content from the anime. So I officially announce that I (kind of) completed the Mirai Nikki franchise!!
I'm planning to dive full into light novels in the distant future so I left out the Mirai Nikki light novel for now. I just want to read more manga before achieving this new level of weebness. About the anime... Well, while reading the manga I recalled how much I loved this series so I decided I'll be rewatching the anime along all the extra content! When? In the disntant future i.e. whenever I feel like it.
As a side note, I'm also interested in the live action and the visual novel. Those are left, again, for the distant future.
What's next?
I'm going to continue on with the Dr. Slump manga following it up with the Dragon Ball manga.
I'll be completing all I can from the One Piece animes (movies, specials, etc).
I'll continue completing anime frasnchises I put aside for a while: Code Geass, Monogatari Series and Shingeki no Kyojin. After these, I plan to get into Neon Genesis Evangelion and Tokyo Ghoul mangas.
Finally, I have yet to decide what manga I'm going to focus on next. Most probably Akira.
That's it! The distant future sure seems like a set agenda. I like it this way. I'm excited!

Anime Relations: One Piece, Dragon Ball, Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch, Dr. Slump: Arale-chan, Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2, Mirai Nikki (TV), Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season Part 2

I just completed reading the Wano arc and it was amazing. Easily one of OP best arcs. Now I am so close to catch up with the latest chapter. It has never been like this since I became a OP fan and I'm afraid I don't like it. I don't want to wait a week for every chapter so the OP manga has to go to the on-hold list. It will stay that way until this beautiful story reaches its conclusion and I can binge through it again.

Regarding the OP anime, I left it on-hold at the end of the Dressrosa arc to focus on the manga a while ago. It will stay like this until the manga finishes publishing too. Then I will binge the anime up to the end of the Wano arc just before going on to manga till the end. I am excited for the future of One Piece!

I also completed the funny and slightly sexy Code Geass anthology, Queen... So what will I read now?

I will complete the Dr. Slump manga, then continue right on to one of my most anticipated mangas, Dragon Ball!

I also started Mirai Nikki. The anime left a lasting impression on me when I was a teenager, so I got to experience the original work!

What about anime? For the time being, I will be completing most OP movies and specials. I will also catch up to the great Shingeki no Kyojin anime.

And that's it! I have a lot of neat animanga content ahead of me and I'm enjoying it :3

Anime Relations: High Score Girl, High Score Girl: Extra Stage, High Score Girl II

I know I've not been consistent watching anime nor reading manga. Honestly, I just had some priorities going on IRL. After all, anime and manga mean nothing more than a hobby for me.

However, I will never stop coming back to being a weeb in my free time. It may seem that I have not enough time to complete my huge anime list. Well... that's true! But that's ok.

I don't think I need to take this little journey of mine too seriously. Since this is a hobby, I do this to just entertain myself.

I don't even plan to watch every single title in my anime list. I just added entire franchises without much care. I plan to be deleting titles I am not interested in along the way of completing my list. I will document all these changes on this blog :3

So will I actually complete 3000 anime?
Who knows?! 3000 anime it's not my actual goal, it's just a number I set because my list already surpasses 3000 titles. My actual goal is to watch a bunch of good anime and read a bunch of good manga.

I also want to start writing reviews and recommendations. Perhaps I'll begin with High Score Girl (this paragraph only exist to affiliate with the mandatory anime).

Anime Relations: Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!, Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru, Spy x Family

I don't really care about this franchise anymore so I'll probably never watch any of this hence I removed it from my anime list.
I am considering doing the same with the Kisekoi and Spy x Family franchises.

Anime Relations: High Score Girl, High Score Girl: Extra Stage, High Score Girl II

I haven't consumed any Japanese media for a couple of months because I was being too busy studying in my college. During this period, my life moved several steps forward and I have grown as a person. However, I am a lolicon weeb at heart and I'm determined to assert myself by returning to my journey in completing 3000 anime/manga. I'll start by completing High Score Girl.

Anime Relations: Crayon Shin-chan

So I added the entire Shin-chan franchise to both my anime and manga list and now my anime list is over 3000 titles. I'm considering removing the ones I am less interested in.

Anime Relations: Death Parade

I will stop reading/watching anything for a couple of days. There's no particular reason. I just don't feel like it.
By the way, watch Death Parade. It's really neat.

Anime Relations: Serial Experiments Lain

Let's all love Lain.
