Anime: The Greatest Gift to America







Watching anime is one of my favorite hobbies to do next to playing video games. I wasn't into anime that much back when I was younger even though I watched shows, such as Dragonball Z, on Toonami at my grandma's house every day after school. It remained that way until my 7th grade year when I started watching an anime by the name of InuYasha on Adult Swim late at night. After I started watching InuYasha more often, my interest in anime deepened. Later in life, I started to meet more friends who practically breathed anime and my cousins were also getting into this craze even more. As a result, I became as obsessed with anime as my friends and cousins were.

The genre of anime I usually watch is aimed mainly toward action, adventure, thriller, and supernatural. A taste of what these genres have to offer are things such as demon slaying, fast paced gun or sword fights, good amounts of suspense, and characters that everyone can relate to at a certain point in time. My favorite anime show of all time to watch on Adult Swim nowadays is Bleach. Bleach is about an average 15 year old boy named Ichigo Kurosaki who lives the normal everyday life until a Soul Reaper named Rukia Kuchiki appears in the world of the living to battle evil souls known as Hollows. Ichigo then discovers he has powers fit enough to become a Soul Reaper and harnesses them later on in the series to protect the ones close to him and any evil that threatens the world of the living or the spirit world known as the Soul Society. Other animes I like to watch, besides Bleach, are Death Note, Code Geass, Gungrave, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, and Naruto.

My Blogging Experience

I really don't have much blogging experience in the past nor I have used it that often. I intend to use this blog to chat with my buds, talk about any upcoming school assignments or projects, and of course chat about the hobbies my friends and I like to do in our free time.
