Space runaway ideon mind blown gif3/20/2023 Despite being shunned by humans they still choose to protect humanity from other monster attacks in hopes that one day if they do enough good deeds they can be reborn as human too and finally fit in. These three “humanoid monsters” appear almost human enough but are still freaks in a conventional sense and do not fit into society. What largely separates Bem from Kitaro is its more science fiction based monsters over the old fashion folklore creepies from Kitaro, and the three protagonists of the series: Bem, Belo, and Bela. The series has definitely played second fiddle to its clear influence Kitaro, but is a fairly beloved franchise that has still gotten multiple iterations of its own. The newest entry in the long running Humanoid Monster Bem (Yokai Ningen Bem) franchise that started life in 1968 during the yokai boom largely created by GeGeGe no Kitaro’s huge success. Definitely recommended for anyone who enjoys comedy and space travel stories. The mystery element is perhaps the most unique twist on Astra that sets it apart from most of Shinohara’s earlier works in Jump, and while no Sherlock Holmes or anything, it is still fairly a fun component of the series that pushes the adventures of the young crew of the Astra beyond just being episodic romps. Just who stranded these kids in space, and why did they want them dead? I laughed, I cried, and I racked my brain behind the main mystery of the series. The series really does remind me tons of SKET Dance, except set in outer space instead of high school, and I am all for it. The newest series from Shonen Jump alum Kenta Shinohara, Astra Lost in Space is just what you would expect from the creator of SKET Dance: a hilarious romp through space with a great group of characters that all carry heavy emotional baggage. And watching Sentai’s dubcast of the anime has been delightful too, I love they really ran with the delinquent characters and aren’t afraid to swear up a storm and drop F-bombs regularly, it’s just tons of fun to listen to. It is scheduled to run for a total of 4 cours so it’s taking its time and really establishing the entire cast so well. The series really gives off a lot of 90’s anime vibes despite its more modern aesthetic (a great opening theme from the Pillows certainly helps in that regard too) and I’ve been having tons of fun with this one each week. This has been a pretty fun sports anime, that also veers somewhat into the “yanki” genre of manga and anime too with tons of fist fights, blood, and beat-downs in-between the times the characters do play b-ball. Undeterred Sora tries his best to get into the club and stand up against the delinquents who run it, and maybe just hopefully help them turn over a new leaf and become actual basketball players in the process. Unfortunately the school’s basketball club is comprised entirely of dangerous delinquents who have all taken over the club and use it as their hang-out because of the school’s policy that every student has to join a club. The main character Sora Kurumatani is an incredibly short high school freshmen with dreams of joining his school’s basketball team. So without further ado, let’s check out some great anime. If I included all the never ending shonen animes I love this freaking list would be crowded to the brim with it after all. The only reason for this is so I can focus on the seasonal shows that may get swept away with the passage of time. There aren’t really any major rules to my list other than avoiding long-running anime a la Black Clover or Pokémon and the like. While my game play time did suffer quite a bit this year I was mostly able to keep up with every anime season of 2019 and really soak up as many shows as I could. This year had tons of wonderful and great animes, and really reminded me again why I love the medium so much. If you wanna see my video game picks then refer to the prior blog entry. This is the second half of my Favorites list for 2019.
