Ice

Who knew a figure skating anime could be THIS AMAZING?  Warning: spoilers ahead! 1. First of all, the theme song.   2. The music in the show is fantastic, and the lyrics add an extra dimension to the story line.  (Hint: listen closely to lyrics and read their translations). 3. As is the choreography.  (Another hint: pay attention to who is performing whose signature moves, and when). 4. Though a figure skating anime seems like a light-hearted premise, the show doesn’t shy away from heavier themes like mental health. 5. The characters grow SO MUCH, especially Yuri.  http://marblemouse.tumblr.com/post/153371451644/episode-1-episode-6-this-is-the-quality Though his issues with self-confidence never magically disappear, he gets stronger with each episode. 6. Even Victor, Yuri’s coach and childhood idol, deepens from a godlike being into someone with human flaws as we get to know him through Yuri’s ey

There are many anime characters around that have unique special abilities to fight or defend themselves in certain situations.  There are many different varieties of powers and special abilities that distinguish each character like, Telekinesis, Magic, Invisibility, Manipulation, etc. You name it, anime has it all! In this article, we're going to be talking about characters that have the power of Ice. 1. Esdeath from Akame Ga Kill! Esdeath has to be one of the most intimidating Ice users in anime, seeing her and her abilities made me curl into a ball of fear in some episodes of Akame Ga Kill!. Don't let her sexiness fool you, being raised from a dark and aggressive past, Esdeath is one of the strongest and feared soldier in the Empire's army. Probably the series. She possesses the Demon's Extract which allows her to manipulate ice and create it from virtually nothing, you can say she's made of ice and there's no limit to her abilities. She is a

If you watch anime a lot, it is blatantly obvious when you are watching something in the ecchi or harem genre. However, fan service can be a little less obvious sometimes in other genres, but it is highly pervasive in modern anime. So, for a little fun today, what are some signs that you are watching an anime that is packed highly with fan service? Showing Off Some Skin to Pass Those Boring Dialogue Moments This is a common one but it can be used to varying extent. During those times where exposition is needed, often animators try to keep the audience engaged by showing them something a little more worth looking at. In the worst cases, it will be bouncing cleavage or some glistening skin. In more mild cases, the characters will be dressed more provocatively, hopefully in a way that makes sense for the scene in question. Vastly More Women than Men If your character list has all women and maybe like two guys, you can be sure before even watching the series that there

Fan service anime has always been popular among anime fans. But today we’re going to talk about some actually good anime series without fanservice bullshit. Without further ado, here are the 16 best anime series with no fanservice. 1. Attack on Titan Genres: Action, Drama, Fantasy, Shounen, Super Power, Thriller Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by giants. Giants are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of giants. Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a giant in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a super giant that appears out of thin air. As the smaller giant

Fan service in anime is everywhere, and it can range from ‘Tame’ to ‘What the hell did I just watch?’ Every once in a while, you’ll watch an anime that forces you to lock the door, close the blinds, and seclude yourself from witnesses because sometimes being caught watching porn would be easier to explain.  With all the fan service that’s out there nowadays, it’s difficult to sometimes pinpoint exactly what ‘Taking it too far’ means. According to Unime, here is 6 Anime That Take Fan Service A Little Too Far. 1. No Game No Life Now despite loving No Game No Life, it does have quite a bit of fan service scattered around.  This fan service isn’t exactly excessive, but when you take into account that one of the main characters of it is an eleven-year-old girl then it’s a bit too far.  Shiro, the eleven-year-old mentioned, is even introduced to us through a panty shot.&nbs
