lunabee34Recently consumed anime/manga:
We just finished watching Kenichi: Mightiest Disciple with Emma. Josh and I had watched it a couple years ago and really liked it. I like that the show is at its heart about friendship and kindness and the importance of making moral decisions. Kenichi learns that his lack of raw talent in martial arts can be overcome by hard work and by the goodness in his heart. It sounds cheesy, but it really works for me. There's also a fair amount of strong female characters, and the show ends up being pretty educational re: martial arts. The anime ends in a good place; although it's clear that there's more story to tell, it functions as a complete piece (pretty sure there's more manga than anime). The final two episodes contain a twist that make me count them among my favorite finales. Two of the female characters are pretty scantily clad, and there's a running joke about the big boobs of one of them that I could have done without, but overall, I give it an A.
Emma plowed through all the available volumes of Natsume's Book of Friends and is eagerly waiting more translated volumes. I need to get her next volume of Inuyasha online as they never seem to have this particular one at the bookstore. I got her the first two volumes of Chi's Sweet Home last week when she got her braces as a happy, and as James Earl Jones might say, "Cray cray adorbs, y'all."
Emma and I are planning to watch Fruits Basket next. Josh and I watched the first two eps; it was not his thing, and I just don't like watching stuff by myself that isn't re-runs of old TV I've seen before. This is why I still haven't watched the second FMA anime. But Ems agreed to watch it with me; hopefully, she'll like it. :)
