Kimi Ni Todoke

Three Words: Best Fall Anime!
I have been looking for a good new romance comedy series; there hasn’t been any worth mentioning since Itazura na Kiss during fall LAST YEAR! This is definitly a great series to watch if you’re looking for something in that genre. The basic premise of the show is a bit odd; The main character Sawako, looks just like super scary Sadako from The Ring. Because of this her class mates think she is some sort of supernatural exsistence and call her Sadako; they are scared to …

Gankutsuou

Gankutsuou (The Count of Monte Cristo)
Episodes: 24
Genres: Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller
Aired: Oct 6, 2004 to Mar 30, 2005
Producer: Gonzo
Gankutsuou is one of the most overlooked gems of an anime I know. The plot is roughly based on 17th century novel The Count of Monte Cristo. It focuses on the drama and strife of the rich nobility, and the evil it gives birth to. Gankutsuou adds vampires, Aliens, space colonies and even Mecha’s to this classic tale. Why at first this mixture is a bit baffling, and perhaps even …
