I decided that since I have never seen any anime TV Show that I would watch a couple of the first episodes and react to them. If you don’t know what anime is it is “a Japanese style of motion-picture animation, characterized by highly stylized, colorful art, futuristic settings, violence, and sexuality” (definition provided by dictionary.com).
One of the shows I watched was Noragami. It is about a up and coming “god”, Yato, who does not have any followers. In order for him to be identified as a “god” he offers people help for 5-yen. Hiyori, an ordinary girl, ran in front of an oncoming bus but was saved by Yato before anything jurassic could have happened. The blow causes Hiyori to become trapped in an “afterlife” and present day. She is able to exit her body in a ghost-like form. In the end I feel like this show is pretty interesting. If you are into science fiction or believe in similar things that the show demonstrates this would be a perfect show for you.
Another show I watched was Psycho Pass. This show is a futuristic crime show. I felt like I was watching a Japanese version of Law and Order. If you are into shows such as CSI, Criminal Minds, etc. and also like cartoons this would be a good show for you.
In conclusion I’m not sure if I will continue watching anime, mostly because I would have to read the subtitles. If you are into science fiction or action cartoons/shows you should give anime a try. Anime is on Netflix but is minimal. It is also on Popcorn Time and YouTube.
