The two in a couple usually work as a equalization act for each other, with the "beauty" usually calming the impulses of the "beast." Of course, love comes in all shapes and sizes and faces and places, so we gather here to celebrate the strangest anime couples. In some alternative cases the "beast" is hardly what he or she seems to be and may be a victim of stereotypes. If they were solely given an opportunity, everybody would see their love is just beyond imagination. 7. Nanami/Tomoe (Kamisama Kiss) Tomoe may be a fox yokai, presently serving because the acquainted of Nanami. Her idealistic belief that humans and yokai will live and love along in peace may be a constant supply of competition between Nanami and Tomoe. It's uncertain that the pair's romantic attraction for each other would grow if he was a Tengu or a possessed pot.   6. Shuuji/Chise (SaiKano) The war is a scene for the story of Chise's relationship along with Shuuji. World Healt

Many people in the world have the wrong idea about anime. They assume it is always big robots fighting big mechs, and they would not be that mistaken, actually.  So how about we talk about 6 anime movies that will change the way you look at anime?  These six movies will not only change the way you look at anime, but change the way you look at cinema as a whole (as well as reflect how many American directors steal ideas and shots from these films under the assumption no one will notice). 1. Asura Do you understand nature versus nurture? The idea that a child left alone to fend for itself will become like an animal, and a child who is loved and cared for will become gentle? Asura shows us that story in anime form, and the power of the movie and message will leave you floored.  This movie could also be called “Life Is Super Cruel” because watching what this young boy endures (and what it turns him into) is heart breaking and un

One character is capable of immense, sometimes even supernatural strength while their partner is an example of grace and elegance.  The two work as a balancing act for one another, with the "beauty" often calming the impulses of the "beast." In other cases the "beast" is hardly what he or she appears to be and is a victim of stereotypes.  If they were only given a chance, everyone would see they aren't interested in beating kids up and taking their lunch money. 7. Nanami / Tomoe (Kamisama Kiss)  Nanami is a down-on-her-luck girl who, through a series of both fortunate and unfortunate circumstances, becomes the god of a shrine when the real deity bails. Homeless, Nanami decided to shack up there, only to find its resident yokai is none too pleased to see her.  Tomoe is a fox yokai, one of the few supernatural entities in Japanese lore that are actually attractive. It's doubtful that the pair's romantic attraction for one another would

Have you been fed up with the endless waves of mediocre high school comedies in the anime industry? Fear not! Here's 10 anime from the recent years that helped us restore our faith in the medium, and hopefully will do it to yours as well! 1. GoSick (2012) Yeah there's a Goth Loli female lead, but don't let looks fool you. This is a fun mystery anime that rapidly turns into much much more. You'll soon grow to love each character as they are introduced, and grow to love the relationships between them even more.   2. Kids on the Slope (2012) Charming coming of age story set in the age of Bebop (the music genre, not the anime!) revolving around two boys who learn to really put their soul into their music. Must watch if you are a jazz fan. 3. The Devil is a Part Timer (2013) What happens when the Devil is reduced to working part time at a fast food joint to make ends meet? A great, heart-warming comedy, with just a little bit of everything els

Only a handful of TV shows, movies, books or animes can be called "life-changing". These masterpieces change the way you perceive yourself and the world, letting you understand something you never did before. Just like these 10 anime series could do. 1. Akira When Katsuhiro Otomo's anime masterpiece came out in 1988, it changed a lot of people's lives — mainly because until they saw Akira, they had no idea that animation could be used for anything other than children's entertainment. More than 25 years later, this tale of teens in Neo-Tokyo who run afoul of a militarized government and a secret experiment to unlock telekinetic abilities may have lost its shock, but not its power. Although purely Japanese, Akira's tale of how modern society disenfranchises and co-opts youth into its faults and machinations is universal. 2. Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind As a child, Hayao Miyazaki wanted to be a manga artist. But after he became the m
