WataMote!

WataMote - No Matter How I Look at It, It’s You Guys' Fault I’m Not Popular!

 WataMote is absolutely hilarious,  this anime goes through the life of an unpopular girl who assumes that once she enters high school she will be popular, weeks into school she is still pretty unpopular.  Every episode is full of hilarity!  The main characters name is Tomoko, long black hair, with bags under her eyes, can often be seen as desperate to be popular. Going through lengths such as changing her outfit only to look awfully scary, taking lonely purikura pictures, training herself how to be a cabaret girl, and even wanting to get molested on the train! 

In this anime you can't help but to root for young Tomoko as she struggles with something many teens always deal with, fitting in at school.  

Warning! Tomoko gets a little pervy at times and she enjoys ecchi games so viewer discretion is advised. 

 

Little Busters!

If you are looking for a feel good friendship anime, i recently got into Little Busters. 
So far I have gotten into about 5 episodes and so far so good. It starts out with a group of friends who have been friends since childhood, one of them will be graduating in a year so to keep his legacy at the school he decides to start a baseball team naming it after what their group was known as when they were kids, the :Little Busters.
The original group goes around the school looking for new members and the friendship between them and their new friends blossoms even more.

If anyone has seen Little Busters and wants to give us feedback or warnings comment please!

Here is the promotional video.

Kokoro Connect, a positive review!

So I really got into Kokoro Connect, a school/supernatural/romance/slice of life anime that revolves around 5 high school students, Taichi Yaegashi, Himeko Inaba, Iori Nagase, Yoshifumi Aoki, and Yui Kiriyama.
One day they inexplicably find themselves swapped in each others bodies randomly at random times. The culprit of this Phenomenom is known as Heartseed and pretty much toys around with these kids just for the fun of it.
Through all these the kids find themselves experiencing new things, feelings things they hadn't before and even falling in love.
Kokoro Connect really got me hooked, especially since I am such a Haruhi Suzumiya fan, this anime really caught my eye!
I highly recommend it. You can check it out on Crunchyroll and Hulu.

Anime Cons in Dallas!

Ok so there are some pretty awesome Cons coming up here in Texas that i am definitively excited for!

First up on my list is Mini A-KON 2013.  i believe this is the 6th year they have had a Mini A-Kon and it will be at the Denton Public Library once again.  its going to be super soon! January 6th, 2013!!!  Click the link for more information http://www.a-kon.com/?ai1ec_event=mini-a-kon-vi&instance_id=69


Then we have A-Kon 24, which is the pretty much huge in the area. So big that they moved it from the Sheraton in Downtown Dallas to the huge Hilton Anatole which has huge convention spaces.  Very exciting indeed!
Look forward to A-Kon 24 starting May 31, 2013.  For more information and to reserve your badge visit http://www.a-kon.com

My awesome friends cosplaying awesomely of course!

 Anime Fest of course is another really awesome Con to look forward to.  Last year was the first year that it was at the Sheraton in Downtown Dallas, and it was AMAZING!  I really enjoyed this Con, there were not as many people as A-Kon so it was not as crowded and therefore more enjoyable in the vicinity. 
This year it will also be at the Sheraton in Dallas so it will likely  be very much fun once again.  Plan your trip at http://animefest.org for the weekend of Aug 30th.

here are some pics from my 2012 trip at Anime Fest.

My favorite outfit was Lolita style

Me and furry owl who made chirpy noises

Me and Lolita friend Jenny skate on Lolita skate meetup, sadly we were the only Lolitas who skated lol!

Lolitas take a moment to smile at the camera from the ice rink!

Aerial view of the Plaza of the Americas ice rink...sadly this ice rink will no longer be there, it is being demolished to make room for more chairs and tables! Boo!!! :-(

KOBATO ON HULU!!!

So Hulu has finally added Kobato!!!  As of now there are currently only 2 episodes for the viewing and they better add more if they know whats good for them!
CLAMP's Kobato's animation seems very familiar to the style of Tsubasa and the beautiful Kobato definitively shows us that this is going to be a good anime.  Come on we got cute girl, talking animal, and a hunky glasses guy, thats like awesomely amazing CLAMP romance in the works! Oh yes and if you look closely you will see CLAMP crossovers with Tsubasa and such.
