Ty Reviews Princess Jellyfish (Manga)

Princess Jellyfish is about a young woman called Tsukimi. Tsukimi, who has been obsessed with jellyfish since her youth, lives a peaceful, man-free existence with a group of similarly strange women, the Amars, until, one night, during a campaign to rescue an endangered jellyfish, she meets Kuranosuke. It isn’t long before Tsukimi discovers, much to her surprise, given his impressive drag act, that Kuranosuke is actually a prince, not a princess! Thus begins an unlikely friendship between the two characters. Over time Kuranosuke helps Tsukimi to grow in confidence, Tsukimi helps Kuranosuke to open up to other people, and the pair combine their love of fashion and of jellyfish to help save the Amars’ home from a group of predatory landsharks.

30 Day Anime Challenge – #2 My Favourite Anime

#2 What is your favourite anime?

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Sure, this is a fairly conventional choice, and whilst it would have probably made me look cooler to have picked a less mainstream show, I don’t care, because it has long been my opinion that this show is the closest that we’ll ever get to a perfect anime. In every way that matters, Brotherhood is a masterpiece.

Character Spotlight: Kagura

I recently decided that every so often I would write a short post about a character who I really like, explaining why I think that they’re awesome. For me, more than anything else, more than a fantastic, gripping story, even, a brilliant cast of characters can make a show. Even if a show’s story is lacklustre I can still enjoy it if its characters and the way that they interact with each other are fun to watch. It reminds me of times spent with my own friends, not doing much of anything at all, just messing around playing endless games of Uno or watching parody videos on YouTube. So if I know that a show has an entertaining character or cast of characters I’m much more likely to check it out. I’m hoping that these posts will do the same for you.

For my first character spotlight I wanted to talk about my favourite Jump heroine, Gintama’s Kagura.

Why My Hero Academia Is Not Your Typical Shounen Anime

There’s a tendency within the anime fandom to hate on anything popular – just look at the amount of threads on the MAL forums dedicated to slating Sword Art Online or the backlash that Gintama receives for having six seasons listed in MAL’s top 20 most popular shows. Sometimes this vitriol is warranted, but sometimes it’s simply because it’s considered cool to criticize something that’s popular. The extremely popular show My Hero Academia has also fallen prey to this tendency, with some becoming upset over the number of awards it received at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards this year (seven) and others writing it off as your run-of-the-mill shounen trash. Below I’ll argue why it’s deserving of its popularity, especially when compared to its shounen predecessors.

Ty Reviews Shin Sekai Yori

Shin Sekai Yori is a show I’ve dedicated a lot of time to as a blogger. The task of writing a post on each episode every week was made a lot easier by the fact that I actually really enjoyed it, and always had something to say about it! I actually had too much to say about the show at times, which is why I’ve now decided to write a review on it. I’d like to be able to compile the most important thoughts I’ve had on the show during those 25 weeks into one post. Who knows, maybe it will help someone reading this to decide whether or not they want to watch the show? One can only dream!!

I won’t waste time by giving you a synopsis- if you want one, read it here on MAL- I’m just gonna launch right into it!!!
