Remembering Love: Rock Lee vs. Gaara, a true underdog story

Thought for my second post I’d write about another show that holds some kind of emotional significance for me. It seems to me that there is some kind of taboo in the blogosphere against professing a fondness for any of the ‘Big 3’ but, I’ve never been reluctant to shout from the rooftops my love of Naruto. Whilst Death Note was my first anime, Naruto was the first one I ever truly fell in love with, (if Death Note were Rosaline, Naruto would be Juliet) therefore, eager was I to use this project as an opportunity to sing its praises once more. But, not having the time to re-watch the entire 220 episode long series in one, or even a few weeks I had to resort to selecting but one of my favourite moments. The few episodes I’m about to focus on were one of many reasons I found myself becoming so emotionally invested in the show.

My top 30 anime

I often feel as though I complain so much about bad shows, the good ones hardly get the recognition they deserve so, to make amends, here’s a list of my top 30 shows and why I love them so much! Kudos if you manage to read the entire list, I know it’s long but, it’s incredibly difficult to list the reasons I love a show without rambling!

What makes a 10/10 anime?

I first saw this topic raised during du5k’s blog carnival a couple of months ago. At the time I wasn’t a blogger, so didn’t have the delight of taking part and answering the above question myself but, I would now like to take the time to express my own thoughts on the matter- I thought it’d help you readers make sense of some of the choices I have made for my top 30 shows, a list I plan to publish later this week.
