Plot Summary: Spike Spiegel, a bounty Hunter with a dark past, lives on bounty to bounty, barely making it each time, or not making it at all. His partners Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Ed and Ein the dog all help him in his adventures from planet to planet.

Cowboy Bebop is one of the greatest animes I have seen, and it is the best dubbed anime I have seen. Some times some companies do a botched job with the dubbing, but this anime is amazing and shouldn’t be missed. You get immersed in the life of each one of these characters, and the combination of this group is hilarious. I couldn’t get enough of this series and it the animation itself is amazing, and storyline is amazing. Spike is the main character and his band of bounty hunters. Jet gets information from the right contacts, Fay is the flamboyant bounty hunter and she helps Spike when the money is right. Ed is a funny girl who only thinks of electronics with the help of their genius dog Ein. Ed pretty much digs up any digital information available on anyone. And this relationship ties them together as one dysfunctional family, and you can relate to these people and understand them. Only good animes get you attached to the characters on a personal level, and I did get attached. I really recommend this anime for people to watch! It’s a good oldy!

Plot Summary: Onizuka is an ex-biker and gang leader who has one goal, to become the greatest teacher. He learns of the power and respect possible as an intern teacher, using his strength and connections to get his students to respect him. Now, graduated, he gets a job at a prestigious private school to handle their ‘problem class’ that made the past few teachers quit. He must handle a different sort of trouble when the trouble makers include some of the smartest kids in Japan who preffer a more cerebral approach to torturing their teacher. Onizuka must slowly win his students over and deal with their mistrust of teachers while handling the distrust of his fellow teachers.

This is one amazing anime that I couldn’t get enough of. Onizuka is an ex-gang leader, karate champ, 22 year old who wants to be the greatest teacher alive. He is also obsessed with high school girls, perverted, vulgar, and loves video games. He has to deal with the worst class en school and turn them around, and he uses un-orthodox tactics which are borderline insane. You get involved with all the characters, and get attached to different people. The animation is fantastic, and all you could do is laugh and get hooked on Onizuka. By the time animation is over you don’t want it to end. I recommend anyone who loves animation to watch this animation because its a classic that shouldn’t be missed. This is one of the few animes where they did a really good job with the dubbing. The voices really fit the characters.

Plot Summary: The background is in the distant future after the destruction brought about by Armageddon. The war between the vampires and the humans continue to persist. In order to protect the humans from the vampires, Vatican has to rely on other allies to counter the situation. The protagonist, a priest called Peter Abel Nightroad, travels through the countries as a representative for the Vaticans. However, he is also part of “Ax”, a special operations group controlled by the Cardinal Catherina. His encounter with a young girl called Esther will determine the struggle and survival between the human race and the vampires.

This is an intereseting anime to say the least. It involves vampires and the Vatican Church and the battle between them as two empires. You meet a Abel Nightroad, they all call him Father Nightroad. He is a very comical character. This is a very deep story with intertwining pieces. The character development is amazing, and the animation is fantastic. The story line is great and you just want to keep watching it. After watching the first episode I waited for the whole anime to finish, and then I downloaded all of it. And I watched it over four days, and I was made that I finished it. The are a lot of characters that you will like, and could relate to. And Father Nightroad just seems like a funny clumsy guy, but you dont find out except later of his skills as a member of Ax. Every member of Ax has a very special skill, and Father Nightroad seems to be the most powerful even though it does not show.

Plot Summary: Ten years after the Bubble War, the dichotomy between the rich and the poor in the world becomes more prominent and Japan is no exception. The rich seeks to satisfy their desires and derive pleasure for themselves, and Tokyo has materialise into such a city as a result. Saiga, once a war photographer, works for Hibara Ginza in the capitalist state of Tokyo. He infiltrates into Roppongi Club, a secretive base located in the red district area of the city, to collect information about them. However, he was caught in the process and brought forward to a girl called Kagura who was in the midst of a ritual. His contact with Kagura awakens his special ability: the power to make things explode once photographed. In order to unravel the mystery behind the Roppongi Club and Kagura, Saiga begins his solitary battle.

This is a slightly dark anime which goes into the depths of a person’s desires. It starts off with Saiga as a solitary type person, who has a knack for amazing photographs. At first it was a bit odd, and I didnt understand everything going on. But one thing I was happy for sure, that I had all the episodes downloaded by the time I started watching it. After the third or fourth episode I couldnt stop watching this anime. I kept watching it late into the night! The character is amazing, and the story line is extremely creative. Everytime you watch an episode you have more and more questions, and the mystery of his powers and how these are develop keeps you going. And through all the battles you want Saiga to win. Its a very deep story that a lot of people will enjoy.

Plot Summary: In a distant future, humanity once again is facing the threat of the “Shadow Angels”. Mystical creatures who returned after 12.000 years of absence. They attack human cities and kidnap their inhabitants in order to drain their “prana” (vital energy). To fight against them, youngsters with special powers from arround the world were gathered and trained to pilot the “vector machines”, three ancient ships that together form mankind’s ultimate weapon, “Aquarion”. The story revolves mainly arround Apollo, a teenager rumored as the reencarnation of Apolonius, a fallen angel who fought against his own kind to protect mankind. Few believe it could be true, but the fact is that dispite his untamed and reckless nature, he proved to be an invaluable asset in the battle against the Shadow Angels.

If you are person who enjoys mecha type animes then I deffinatly recommend this anime for you! The animation itself is breath taking, and I cant get the music out of my head. I really enjoyed this anime. I really like the character Apollo, and Pierre. Apollo being the main character, and Pierre being a playboy type side character. And it has its funny moments, and its really deep moments. What I love about a good anime is when you are always left wondering about different relationships and what will happen next. I think you wouldnt be disappointed watching this anime!

Plot Summary:

Naruto closely follows the life of a boy who is feared and detested by the villagers of the hidden leaf village of Konoha. The distrust of the boy has little to do with the boy himself, but it’s what’s inside him that causes anxiety. Long before Naruto came to be, a Kyuubi (demon fox) with great fury and power waged war taking many lives. The battle ensued for a long time until a man known as the Fourth Hokage, Yondaime, the strongest ninja in Konoha, fiercely fought the Kyuubi. The fight was soon won by Yondaime as he sealed the evil demon in a human body. Thus the boy, Naruto, was born. As Naruto grows he decides to become the strongest ninja in Konoha in an effort to show everyone that he is not as they perceive him to be, but is a human being worthy of love and admiration. But the road to becoming Hokage, the title for the strongest ninja in Konoha, is a long and arduous one. It is a path filled with betrayal, pain, and loss; but with hard work, Naruto may achieve Hokage.

Naruto Uzumake is a boy, who has contained the kyuubi demon since he was a baby, now he has grown up, despised for whats inside of him, Naruto trys his hardest to become reconized and hopefully fullfill his dream of becoming Hokage, the leader of his village Konoha.

I have been watching this anime for over two years now and going. It has aired on Cartoon Network Adult Swim the past couple of months dubbed over. I prefer the original japanese with the subtitles, because the dubbed over episodes dont sound right, and I am far ahead with the series then the one being aired on Cartoon Network.
This is an immenesly successful anime, with a fantastic story line and endless array of characters. The story of course surrounds Naruto, but you get to know all the other characters which make it even more interesting. Once you start watching this series you get caught up more and more, because there are a lot of good story lines with a few fillers. They have also made a Naruto Movie.

The main story line is the one that draws you in, and I find Naruto to be an amazing character and there is so much to him. Also you can see the development of the other characters through the story lines. Each one of the developing new Ninja techniques to use in the field. Sometimes there are filler episodes inbetween major storylines or just to give some space and thats what kills, because you want to know whats happening next. This show airs every wednesday in Japan, and so we get the subtitled torrents by thursday or friday at the latest thanks to Dattebayo. And this show is at season 8 and still going strong.

A good source to keep up with Naruto is Narutofan they always have updated information about the anime and the manga, and they have many things explained in their library of information.

Eyeshield 21 is an anime about a guy (Kobayakawa Sena) who started playing American Football in highschool because of Hiruma and Kurita. He was bullied when he was young, and because of that he has the ability to be an amazing running back in football. I love this anime because it shows all the trials they go through and they dont win every game. But they put their hearts into it, and its a very fun anime to watch!
