Okay, okay. I know I write a lot about Angel Beats, but that’s because I just have so much to say about it. It’s one of those animes that’s stuck with me. Another thing that came into my head that made me realize once more how great Angel Beats is, was Iwasawa and her chasing after her dreams.
You know…. in life there’s those moments when you’re just smacked in the face with something unexpected. I try to always mentally and emotionally prepare myself for the worst possible things to happen, but obviously it’s impossible to expect everything. One specific thing that is probably very impossible to dodge is heart break.
Secrets– everyone has them, some people give them away in the wee hours of the morning to certain people, others hold on to them tightly as they would a childhood blanket. The secrets that we choose to let loose versus the secrets we cling to are part of what makes us who we are. Continue reading
Kimi ni Todoke is one of my all time favorites for anime and manga. It’s the one that got me into all of the really girly shoujo stuff with the cutesy cutesy moments, but it also tore my heart into a bazillion little pieces and then stepped on it with all the emotions. Since this is one of my favorites, I’m going to take a moment to fan-girl and over analyze little details, woohoo!

I’ve always wanted best friends and stuff… and I couldn’t think of the kind of thing I was even looking for… then man. I watched Angel Beats and I know exactly what my silly heart desired.
Just being alive is such an ego boost that sometimes people see themselves as the most important thing in the world– well that’s kind of true. As a human, the most important thing is taking care of yourself. Sometimes though, that thought expands and it can get to your head. BAM. You start to think “Oh hey man, I’m totally the main character! Mwuahaaha! Now, a whole bunch of wonderful and eventful stuff should be going on in my life.” When in reality… whoops. You’re actually on an equal level as everyone else. But it doesn’t really seem like that. To be honest, it seems like everyone else is this amazing protagonist and I’m that background character that’s kind of ignored. Continue reading
A lot of people ask me why anime is something I’m into. Some people find it odd, some have no opinion, and others find it totally rad. There’s a whole bunch of reasons why I enjoy anime and manga when I stop and think about it. I mean, the art style is unique, the story lines are different than that of other things, and anime and manga have opened me up to the Japanese culture, which I’ve started to fall in love with. I never would have thought however, that being into these things would introduce me to the most important person in my life– my best friend. By some odd coincidence and a nerdy recognition of song lyrics, anime and manga changed my life, and that’s probably the biggest reason why I love it so much.
Sometimes it turns out that you’re the very thing that you’ve been fighting against the whole time. So, what happens then? Are you a hypocrite if you continue on fighting? With all the ups and downs life throws at you, how in the world is anyone supposed to make a decision?

I’ve always had trouble finding acceptance for myself, growing up with so many people wanting to change who I am, but watching Ouran High School Host Club was a step in the right direction for me. Not only did it provide quite a few laughs for me, but it also taught me a thing or two about self acceptance.
