9/20/2016 8:56:45 AM


###Rozen Maiden ~ Zurückspulen
Every choice we make leads us down a different path… but is it possible for the actions taken on one path be used to affect the choices made in another life? In his darkest hour, Jun Sakurada receives just such an opportunity: a chance to communicate with a future version of himself who did not wind the key and bring forth the Rozen Maidens, and to fix his own shattered world. For Jun-who-did-not-wind, the messages from his younger self are a beacon of hope, and when the adult Jun discovers a box with parts and building instructions for a familiar red dressed doll, the goal becomes clear: to revive Shinku in his world and save both worlds from succumbing to the evils of Kirakisho, the seventh Rozen Maiden. The Alice Game becomes a war of dimensions as two worlds hang by the threads of fate in ROZEN MAIDEN: ZURÜCKSPULEN!

###CELEBRATE FALL WITH THESE 7 GIFS OF ANIME HAIR BLOWING IN THE WIND
9/23/2016 9:17:13 AM

Anime fans know the secret ingredient to making characters look really cool: a scene where their hair is blowing effortlessly in the wind. (That’s like Anime Aesthetic 101.) Let’s take a break from regular lists and take a look at some moments we know will have some windy-hair action.

###Moments Guaranteed to Have Anime Hair Blowing in the Wind

###Anime Opening Themes (No Game, No Life)

An anime OP song isn’t complete without at least ONE character posing dramatically with their hair carried into a soaring breeze. Sora and Shiro in No Game, No Life’s opening theme, have nailed the “anime hair blowing in the wind” coolness.

###Last Episodes (Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto)

Sakamoto looks longingly at the school in the show’s final episode. The wind gently tosses his hair, sending his silent whispers back to his classmates. What is he thinking? Will we ever know? Why is Sakamoto’s simple anime hair so much the cool-cooler-coolest?

###Character Introductions (GATE)

Here are three windswept-hair introductions for the price of one anime gif. Things really are more magical in the Special Region in GATE. Especially in other worlds, anime girls are just so much more dramatically introduced when their hair is blowing.

###Realizing You’re Falling in Love (Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun)

Chiyo is experiencing a life-changing chance encounter in Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun. The set up is perfect… it’s too bad that this is the last moment of romantic perfection she’ll ever have. Let’s enjoy this moment of windswept peace with its side of doki-doki.

###OTP Heart-to-Hearts (Maid Sama!)

When you see both main characters of a shoujo anime speaking alone about their feelings, cue the wind. Misa and Usui from Maid-sama!, as well most of their shoujo peers, share a private heart-to-heart on the roof, and it wouldn’t have been nearly as dramatic without the romance-filled gusts!

###Stylized Storytelling (Haikyu!! 2nd Season)

Anime is a master of figurative storytelling and posing, and there’s nothing like dramatic windstreams to bring the message home. Case and point: Hinata and Kageyama from Haikyu! are imposing in this stylized vision.

###Foreshadowing Dialogs (Another)

Here’s your harbinger of Halloween season! This moment of foreshadowing on the roof is punctuated by Mei’s hair being blown by a foreboding wind. It’s just the kind of scene that prepares you for all the bad things that are about to happen.

###Wind Whip My Anime Hair Back and Forth
The Fall season means different things to different people. Whether you’re into autumn because of the cooler weather, new Fall anime, or the impending arrival of Halloween, there’s something for everyone this season. In our case, we used the coming fall to celebrate one of our favorite aesthetic anime tropes.

###Chaika ~ The Coffin Princess: Avenging Battle
The battle on the floating fortress is over, but the quest to recover the scattered remains of Emperor Gaz is too important to delay. As Chaika and her companions seek out the hero Claudia in order to obtain the heart, they race against Red Chaika, who seeks the hero, Glenn, who possesses one of the arms. Even as Chaika struggles to learn the new magical skills required to defeat Claudia, a startling new revelation comes to light which may change their mission entirely: not all of Gaz’s magic research was destroyed, and information regarding the creation of the Chaikas may have been taken to a mysterious island! With the possibility of uncovering the secrets behind their mysterious origins dangled in front of them, the Chaikas must decide whether or not they want to find the hidden island and brave its unknown perils. Could the entire thing be a trap? It’s highly likely, but how can they resist the bait as the spellbinding adventure continues in CHAIKA THE COFFIN PRINCESS – AVENGING BATTLE!

###6 DANGEROUS ANIME CHARACTERS YOU DON’T WANT TO PISS OFF
9/30/2016 10:04:59 AM

These dangerous anime characters are the last people you want to anger. With differing personalities there is one unifying mantra all of these characters abide by: piss them off and you’re dead. Ranging from the cute and innocent archetype, to the antagonist that no one dare cross; these diverse characters prove that anger is not a choosy lady!

###Rena (When They Cry)

A lover of all things cute, Rena’s surprisingly sadistic personality makes her a particularly frightening girl to irritate. Though Rena can come off as a bit of an airhead, when she reveals her true colors, it can get… messy. Lie to her and you’ll see the change in her expression… We suggest you run.

###Hyobu Kyosuke (Unlimited Psychic Squad)

If being the leader of a criminal esper organization doesn’t make him automatically dangerous, Hyobu is incredibly powerful with a resentment for “normal humans”. If you dare threaten espers in any way, Hyobu won’t hesitate to annihilate you.

###Seryu (Akame ga Kill!)

A girl with a heart of… well, certainly not gold. Seryu views the Empire as morally exempt, and anyone who deviates will meet her particular brand of justice. Draconian at heart, Seryu doesn’t know the word mercy, and may the gods save your soul if she sees you committing a crime against the Empire. Seryu is the best example that sometimes justice truly is blind.

###Son Goku (Saiyuki Gaiden)

At first glance, you wouldn’t guess that this kid is anything but a bit of a wild child. Cheerful and inquisitive, Goku is a fun guy to be around… unless you infuriate him. When his demonic side emerges, no one is safe - not even his friends - so watch out when this little ray of sunshine turns into a brutal storm.

###Rory Mercury (GATE)

Armed with her war axe, Rory loves to be at the forefront of any attack. A sadistic personality when she’s in battle mode, but thankfully she has a preference for bandits and criminals. As an apostle of Emroy (the God of War… among other things), the battlefield is filled with ecstasy, and boy does she love to get her fill. Yummy!

###Goto (Parasyte -the maxim-)

If the brooding face and glowering expression didn’t clue you in, don’t piss off Goto. He is the single most formidable parasite Shinichi has to face off against, and just existing as a human is enough to annoy him profoundly. So if he sees you, you’re pretty much a goner via parasite-claw if the whimsy hits him.

###Danger Has Many Faces
From psychotic killers to parasites, there are many dangerous anime characters you don’t want to piss off. Who did we miss? Let us know via Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Google+!

Where’s the Volleyball announcement, Sentai?

1 Like

Boy that’s slightly worrisome. Looks like Classicaloid was the other “other” in this case but I really hope Haikyu S3 will be announced soon or this might anger people.

It may be a late announcement since it’s only 10 episodes.

That’s cool, as long as it happens.
