This is one that came up as similar to Ojojojo so I checked it out too. Ojojojo is a lot more of a heartwarming type comedy/gag manga where Houkago Play is…well some type of comedy but I personally got very few laughs out of it. I try to keep my feeling about something towards the… Continue reading Houkago Play

Needless
Needless is a show I bypassed when it came out but decided to give it a chance recently. Not even sure why I bypassed it before since dystopian future type of stuff usually draws me in.

That’s why Baccano! has been on my list for a while. Just took me a while to get around to it. The show starts off… Continue reading Baccano!
Samurai Champloo (Samurai Chanpurū)
Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy, Cowboy Bebop: Heaven’s Door, and Samurai Champloo. What is the common thread? They were all directed by Shinichirō Watanabe. Like Cowboy Bebop, I bypassed this one at first and not even sure why but after watching Cowboy Bebop, I just had to go back and watch it. This show again has… Continue reading Samurai Champloo (Samurai Chanpurū)
