My Summer Anime Favorite | Top 10

Not just one but 16 anime shows of the Summer season I am currently watching. 
It was truly enjoyable and full of bliss to follow different variety of series, and also
very tiring for a reason that is really obvious. Anyways, without further ado. This
is My top 10 Summer 2014 Anime list of favorites (so far)! 

Let the negative comments begin!

10. Ao Haru Ride
- Impression -

I've noticed, Sakisaka Io-sensei's works takes a lot of crazy paths 
and time for the story to build and finally enter the romance department.
But slowly and surely, we're all getting into the most awaited greatest reward, 
the heart of the story aka the good cheesy part! In shoujo stories, you have to 
engage yourself with it until the atmosphere slowly melt your heart and fills 
your stomach with butterflies because for the love of God, your otp is having 
a sweet moment again. It takes a lot of heart to love a shoujo but this is just 
like the same thing they are doing in the story, slowly but surely you will 
learn to love the naive heroine.


09. Re:Hamatora
- Impression - 

tbh i hate Hamatora's first season with passion (i'm going to skip 
the reasons because there's a lot of them), but even though i hate it 
i'm so glad i kept watching until the end (tnx to Nice' seiyuu, Ohsaka 
Ryouta.. well yeah, i'm a fan!). Because i'm lovin` this season more 
than the first which i never really love to begin with, Hahahah ; P I love 
everything about the new Hamatora, Animation style, Music, the cast, 
and the awesome characters! 

I miss them so much, especially Nice and Birthday, my baes!! 
I'm so happy ; D they are all back with a much better Re:Hamatora!

08. Zankyou no Terror
- Impression - 

Let's all fucking admit it! We're all watching this anime not just because it looks 

promising but because Shinichirou Watanabe is the man behind this freaking show. 
And for that reason, every (or maybe not really) Shinichirou Watanabe fan (I'm one 
of them) is having a biased opinion, because all his works are so awesome you will 
watch it with the soul of your grandparents so many times because of perfection, but lol 
that attitude doesn't apply on this show (well, at least for me.. i dunno `bout the others 
tho) because.. those works are different and this work is also different, so i will serve 
my final judgement when it's finished.. so far it's getting interesting little by little and 
I'm always looking forward to Sphinx' cool riddles (I'd be really happy if i got the correct 
answer)!! Anyways, tbh i got interested with this anime because of the songs (I happen 
to be a fan of Galileo Galilei (OP Singer), but damn that was the ugliest GG song I've 
ever heard from them, seriously, very not like them) first before knowing the director 
was Shinichirou Watanabe.

07. SPACE☆DANDY 2
- Impression - 

We all know that Space Dandy is such a fun series! 

It's a fantastic alien hunting show who sounds good in both dub or sub.
Space Dandy is a series i'd love to watch when all else fails. It's the only 
series who made me feel as if it has never been away, amazing throughout! 
I demand 200 episodes for this season of Space Dandy, baby! 

06. Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
- Impression - 

I love this show, fucking best! All i need (aside from my number 1) to keep 

my week going. Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun ftw!! Sakura, Nozaki, and Mikorin~
my fave trio of this season... And my favorite RabuCome series after so long!!
The characters are so perfect in this anime, no one's too annoying and no awkward 
guys, i love it! I'm so happy for this series ; D 
Long Live Gekkan Shoujo` //Bansai!!!!!!!

05. LOVE STAGE!!
- Impression - 

The picture above- That's the storyI have encountered this manga before- 
around 2012, it was really funny but the the update took long and i'm preoccupied
with my other reads.. so basically i stopped reading around chapters 12-13? But eI,
who cares about that.. I finally caught up with the manga ; D Arrrggh, this is the 
problem when i love almost everything about the anime, i can't find the right words 
to explain it!! Anyways, you guys understand my situation and my reason why i did 
put this series in my fifth spot, right? *grins* 

[SPOILER ALERT] Ch. 24 - Izumi looks so seductive, ugyaaaa!!! (of course..
you know what i mean) ƪ(`▿▿▿▿´ƪ)

04. Nobunaga Concerto
- Impression -

 I'm not a fan of Oda Nobunaga ( i don't even quite fully know his history), 
i'm completely not interested to any anime shows with his name. The fact that 
there is a time traveling concern in this anime is what really caught my interest. 
As a matter of fact, what i really want to watch is the live action drama, but 
watching the first episode didn't seem to be a bad idea. In my surprise, it was 
a humble but very enjoyable start! I'd love to keep expecting for more 
episodes until it rips my heart open and cut to tiny pieces. o.O

03. Tokyo Ghoul
- Impression - 

Oh hey, this show! I'm not reading the manga yet but i might consider 
reading it when i have more time. Well, when i first watched Tokyo Ghoul 
i didn't really know what exactly to expect since i'm not quite a fan of gore, 
but surprisingly- It's very unique for a normal viewer's opinion for sure, this 
is from one of the most anticipated anime shows after all. In fact i didn't 
really think it would rank higher than Zankyou no Terror on my list. Well, i
really like how it started and even though there's a lot of negative reactions 
here and there, i'm still enjoying the flow of story and i think that's the most
important. Btw, I will wait patiently for your appearance, white haired pretty 
anime boy(kaneki)!!! XD


02. Free! -Eternal Summer-
- Impression - 

Well, i have loved this series ever since from the very start, when i said from 
the very start what i mean is from here!! Yeah, i'm one of those girls who first 
called it "Swimming Anime" and you know what?! I'm very proud of it lol ; D 
tbh I don't really care about this season if it's not for Free!Love Stage!!and 
DMMD anime, it just so happen that there's three shows i'm watching in this 
season so i just have to feel interested all in all *pout* (lol tsundere mode ;P ) 
But honestly.. I'm still in awe because the Free! fandom really did it, they have 
succeeded on this goddamn season 2 request.., It's clearly amazing because 
this anime is from KyoAni and we all know a movie + OVA is never enough!!! 
The fact that Free! is served in our table is something to be really grateful x)) 
I'm obviously not exaggerating, okay!!? I'm just super happy to see the ; D 
swimming dorks, samezuka bros (again XD) and the new bishies, that's all!

01. Barakamon
- Impression - 

All i could say is.., this and will definitely be my favorite series throughout this 
season, without a doubt. I don't think other series from this season will have a 
chance to get the number one spot of Barakamon from my heart. ; P 

No matter how many action-packed anime series I've watched, the most lighthearted 
one will always win a place in my kokoro. For me, the most laid back shows serves as 
saving grace from being mixed up from all the extravagant animation series and personal 
noisy life, it makes me feel so chill in the most effortless way. Although it's a little bit early 
for this i'll give my 'so far' rating, and that would be 8.5/10!!! Yay, i hope this show will 
keep us smiling until the end.. 

Also, i love how they accurately deliberate a child's attitude in this anime, 
also Ono-D (Handa Seishuu aka Sensei) did a very amazing natural voice for 
his character (he sounds so fantastic.. it's like i'm hearing a different and 
improved Ono-D today) so are the other seiyuus who is speaking a very thick 
Goto dialect. XD Amazing staff and cast, amazing animesomething to cherish 
this Summer season! : )

Reminder: 
Personally, I think the Summer season is doing great, but that's 
just my opinion. This is just a collection of thoughts I've gathered 
throughout the first half of these ongoing series. 
Everything still depends on the viewers taste.

Now It's your turn to make your own list.
What's your Summer Anime favorite?

It's Summer once again! The Summer 2014 season has just began 
with the most awaited continuation of KyoAni's boys love fanservice swimming
anime Free!. This season is overflowing with anime sequels from previous year 
and seasons, such as the stylish alien-hunting anime SPACE☆DANDY along side 
with the ever popular (and talk of the crowd) second season of Sword Art Online.
Summer 2014 season is also offering us another arc of Nisio Isin's Monogatari Series
in Hanamonogatari. There's a handful amount of highly anticipated psychological 
horror/thriller categories to offer too, such as the anime adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul
and the original series Zankyou no Terror. But there are a lot of original series a
well with remake and spin-off anime. I guess you already know what are the series 
you will be watching for this season but just in case you're still running in circles, 
here's the top 10 titles you should definitely see and some of my recommendations.


1. Free - Eternal Summer - 
Why Watch: Because all anime fans should bow down to KyoAni for this work of art, 
nah just kidding ; P I mean, really.. this anime is for all ages and gender, Hahahah!! 
Although this anime seems to be targeting fangirls (like me) and more fangirls. i 
assure you bros, it's not yaoi (but there are a lot of tendencies) and it wouldn't be
to gay to handle (i'm lying) for your man boobs ; P  


2. Glass Lip
Why Watch: Glass Lip is from the animation studio P.A. Works and mostly all of 
P.A. Works titles are so good that they'll make you cry because of perfection. 
If you like Slice of Life category then you should definitely watch this one!


3. Tokyo Ghoul
Why Watch: Tokyo Ghoul is one of the highly anticipated series this Summer
2014 season. If you like gore with psychological mystery with blood on top, you
have to check this out A.S.A.P.. If you're not good with that just don't watch it ; P

4. Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: Crystal
Why Watch: Because It's Sailor Moon, duh... why not watch it??!! Unlike the 
old anime design, the new sailor moon had stick to the shoujo manga design.
All the cast is also new except for Usagi's voice, still Mitsuishi! 90's anime fans 
(like me!!) will definitely not miss this one.    


5. Barakamon
Why Watch: Barakamon is one of those laid back anime series where the
character wants to go to a place where no one knows him but slowly develops
a liking to his surroundings. It is quite similar to Gin no Saji with less agriculture
involved. 


6. SPACE☆DANDY 2
Why Watch: This is a continuation of Shinichiro Watanabe's alien-hunting anime, 
Space Dandy! Space Dandy is heavily influenced by Psychedelic Funk, Disco.
Space Dandy is a dandy in space, basically! ; D


7. Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
Why Watch: One of your typical Romantic School Comedy series to watch! 


8. Ao Haru Ride
Why Watch: Ao Haru Ride is one of the most read (or hottest) shoujo manga. 
Like other popular shoujo manga, the story is getting both a TV anime and a live 
action film. If you enjoy shoujo genre, then Ao Haru Ride is a worth watch.


9. Tokyo ESP
Why Watch: Tokyo ESP is one of those looks promising anime but nobody
really talks about. It has it's own ambitious plot with amazing actions scenes.
There's only one way to find out if it's deserving, watch it!  


10. Nobunaga Concerto
Why Watch: This series is not very popular especially to international fans 
but what caught people's attention was it got a TV anime, TV drama, and Live
Action Drama adaptation all at the same time. The entire anime cast was 
announced and mostly everyone is just big names, and to think that 30 year-old
popular Japanese actor Shun Oguri will be the one playing the main character's
role for the live action is definitely a must see. 

Other Recommendation
1. Zankyou no Terror

Air Date: July 5, 2014
Director: Shinichiro Watanabe
Genre: Psychological, Thriller
Episodes: 11

2. Re:_Hamatora

3. Bakumatsu Rock

As you can see i did not recommend any yaoi titles i'm gonna be watching this season 
along with PSYCHO-PASS and Kuroshitsuji because whether to recommend it or not 
I believe these series has their own established fans already, so it's really up to you 
if you're going to watch it or not.

to keep me updated : )

So yeah, just an old pic from the other day and some information!
