I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
im sorry but im in desparet need of answers!!!!! I read in a previous issu that toshiro and momo were brother and sister so i was like totally against the pairing untill i looked it up on the internet and it said they are just friends! i’m confused please help!!
They’re not brother and sister, but they grew up together kind of like brother and sister. It’s unclear if they were living in the same house with the old lady Hitsugaya calls Grandmother or if they were neighbors. People pair them together despite the obvious familial relationship they have and the age difference. Toushirou is about four “soul” years younger than Momo, and he could actually be even younger, since no definitive age has been given.
So, I hope that resolves your confusion.
