I’m going to be honest here, I don’t think there should be a single show that doesn’t end.  I know that there are a lot of long running series like One Piece and Detective Conan out there, but at some point, they need to end.  I don’t have grudges against long running series just because … More Anime Challenge Day 30: An anime I wished never ended

(Yay semi return to the number people) After giving it some thought, the answer became obvious.  It has to be Patlabor. Patlabor takes place in a very normal world like ours, but giant robots are common place.  These aren’t the fantastical giant robots that fly around and do all sorts of cool battle things, but … More Anime Challenge Day 29: An anime I wished was real

Ashitaka Breaking up a fight between San and Lady Eboshi There is just no contest with this one.  This is the moment when Ashitaka knocked Lady Eboshi and San out, grabs San and carries her over his shoulder, gets shot, still walks to the gate, proceeds to open the gate that takes many men to … More Anime Challenge Day 27: Most bad ass scene from any character

Rao vs Kenshiro (Final Fight) n Fist of the North Star This fight wasn’t awesome just because of the effects and animation that went into it, which were phenomenal for the 1980’s, but the buildup as well.  This is a fight that had over 99 episodes of buildup.  Ever since the beginning of the series, … More Anime Challenge Day 26: Best Anime Fight

The death of Maes Hugh from Full Metal Alchemist (2003 and Brotherhood) There is a lot of different reasons for this.  The first one is that he is like the Phil Coulson of FMA.  While he wasn’t an alchemist, he was completely awesome in his own way.  He apparently was great at knife fighting, which … More Anime Challenge Day 25: Saddest Anime Death

Episode one’s ending of Ushio and Tora season 2 To me, this was the moment that set up the entire second season of Ushio and Tora, so some big spoilers here if you haven’t seen it yet.  You have been warned. After fighting off Hakumen’s minions and finding a moment to relax in between conflicts … More Anime Challenge Day 24: Most Shocking Moment

Hiei’s Dragon of the Darkness Flame (Yu Yu Hakusho) This is one of the most interesting attacks that I’ve seen in anime.  It is the literally summoning of black flames from the depths of demon world itself.  Hiei uses his own spirit energy as a lure.  It could be as basic as just an energy … More Anime Challenge Day 23: Favorite attack someone used in an anime

Subaru Nakajima’s Skates (Mach Caliber) from Nanoha Strikers Okay this may seem completely out of nowhere, but they are so cool.  Like a lot of the technology from the Nanoha franchise, they are a combination of technology and magic that allow the user to cast spells and make her go faster than other people on … More Anime Challenge Day 22: Favorite Weapon, Gear, or Armor used in an anime

Lord Death from Soul Eater I like him the best, because there is a reason for his goofiness.  He used to wear a much more serious and scary mask, because he is the grim reaper and everything was darker back in the past.  He fought a war against the kishin and witches.  Since he started … More Anime Challenge Day 21: Favorite Goofy Anime Character
