5 out of 5
This is not a new anime, but it is new to me.
This anime is aimed at Tweens/Teens for the most part.
It has some minor Ecchi elements in it, but they do not get in the way of this being a great story.
The story is a romantic comedy with elements of sci fi mixed in.
So check it out for some good laughs and some good cries.

It is Anime Monday and I am sick.
Here is hoping I feel better soon so I can blog the rest of this week.
One of the things I love about anime is the great music they have.
From full symphonic sound, hip hop, rock, metal.
There introduction and credits have wonderful scores.
Some of my favorites I have as mp3 on my iPad.
Well out of time at lunch, so next week we will hit a few of my other favorite anime songs.
Happy Good Friday.
What makes this day good?
In some aspects it is very sad as we remember that Jesus died on the cross today.
The good is that "It is finished"
What is it?
It is the redeeming work of Christ. He paid it all.
Reminds me of the hymn's words....
Jesus paid it all, all to him I owe.
Sin had left a crimson stain, he washed it white as snow.
It is a good Friday because, while I was a sinner, God loved me and sent his son Jesus to take that penalty.
Here we are and it is Wednesday!
Bad thing is work was crazy so I'm getting to blogging at home right now instead of at lunch.
They were talking about world of Warcraft and universal truths that we can find in the game.
First we find the same truths that we did in anime.
Good versus evil
The choices make the man.
I want to focus on the choices makes the man.
In World of Warcraft, many of the villains are originally good guys.
It is their choices in life that lead them to becoming some of the best villains the game that we have to conquer.
Other areas we see reflected in the art of the game.
The world is beautiful and rich. The music is awe inspiring.
All that reflects that the creators of the game are created in God's image.
Well more later on this topic.
Happy Wednesday
Today I'm continuing the theme from this past Friday's Inspirational Friday.
The basic premise is this you can find things that God has made universally known throughout man's works of art, because man being made in the image of God creates things that represent some universal truths.
And in many of the anime works you find theses truths:
It is choices not circumstances that makes the individual.
Themes of love and self-sacrifice despite all odds overcoming the evil in the world.
And then there is this verse that you see in a lot of works:
Romans 12:21
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
One of the most recent animes really reflective this idea. It is called Heroman and the theme was about what it is to be a hero overcoming evil that have invaded the world.
This is not to say that there are bad themes throughout anime. There are ideas of reincarnation, witchcraft, sexual themes... Just to name a few.
So one needs to be careful and run from the bad to the good.
Join me wednesday when we finish this series in the World of Warcraft.
Welcome to Inspirational Friday.
Fridays are about my journey with God and the things He has impressed on me to share.
Today's topic will actually go over the next few blog posts going into Anime Monday and Warcraft Wednesday topics.
To begin with, I believe God created all things, in a perfect state in the beginning.
He gave us freedom to choose, because he did not want robots. Our ancestors were tricked and chose poorly to sin.
God setup redemption through Jesus Christ.
Now we being in the image of God have the ability to creates wonderful things in art, culture, literature, music, etc. We also use themes consistent with self sacrifice and redemption.
The scriptures say that God is evident in nature, the universe declares his Glory.
I find it amazing that even in pagan cultures, you can find universal truths God has revealed to all mankind.
Monday we will explore this in the anime culture, while Wednesday we will look at it in the Warcraft game world.
Have a great weekend!
Welcome to Warcraft Wednesday where I blog about World of Warcraft stuff.
Today I write about panda monks from the beta.
I love them so far and it will be a debate if therigwin stays my main.
First the did not take out auto attack, but e flow of combat is good. It is a mix of rogue and death knight play style.
Still need to level up further, but I expect good things from these pandas.
More on it next Wednesday
Part of blogging I learned is to set up a consistent schedule.
So Monday is going to be Anime Monday!
I will blog about anime on Monday.
For those not familiar with anime, it is animation that originated in Japan.
They have children's stories to adult stories as it is the prime medium in Japanese media entertainment.
Now the show I am going to write about today is not technically anime. Some would call it Ameranime (anime made by the USA).
The best one is Avatar the last air bender by nickelodeon.
But I want to blog about "The Legend of Korra" which is the sequel to Avatar.
The released the first two episodes at Korra Nation this past weekend.
The actual shows starts later this April on Saturdays at 11am.
All I can say is this show looks very good so far, continuing the story.
It would be a 5/5 recommendation if it did not contain all the eastern mysticism in it. But it is still very good show showing the conflict between good and evil and coming of age.
I can't wait for this series to begin.
Last I got a shirt.
I guess for supper tonight I get to grill a steak.
Introductions
Welcome to my new little corner on the inter webs.

So welcome to my corner, let's have some fun.
