Yumeka on “Effectively Convincing People that Anime is more than just Hentai, Pokemon and Naruto”

by

Came across this post today and yes, its pretty hard to convince people that Anime is just childish cartoons because we all know, Anime is catered for both children and adults. They are simply looking in the wrong places.

The best places to look for mature looking anime is looking for shows in the Seinen or Josei demographics. These shows are praised for its realism, maturity and its drama with a few exceptions. Here are some shows to look out for that don’t contain any or little ecchi (on top of my head):

Seinen

Aria (series)
Air
Clannad
Kanon
ef (series)
True tears

Josei

Honey and Clover
Nodame Cantabile

Movies

5 Centimeters Per Second

Also, don’t give up! If they are still unconvinced, you can’t say that you haven’t tried.

Pokemon and Anime Characters

by

I saw this particular post comparing various Anime character’s personalities to different Pokemon made by Yumeka. I had to reply to it since I have the obsession of naming Pokemon with Anime character’s names. Here is my take on it:

If you haven’t noticed in our battle we had a few months back, I usually name my Pokemon by favorite Anime characters, although sometimes it does not match the species I choose…

For instance, I name my Shiny Dragonite Kyou (Kyou Fujibayshi, Clannad) since she is a spunky girl and a tsundere, my Espeon as Kotomi (Kotomi Ichinose, Clannad) not only because it matches her hair color, but she is a genius and I assume Psychic pokemon are intelligent.

There are some that are named randomly, such as my Milotic, Nagisa (Nagisa Furukawa, Clannad) or my Vaporeon, Nayuki (Nayuki Minase, Kanon, which is pretty ironic since Vaporeon isn’t that fast)… This reminds me, I haven’t played Pokemon ever since I came back from vacation. 😮

Thats right… I name my characters from Key, mostly. Also, I do have some characters that are not named from Key… This includes:
Kureha (Sora no Woto) – Staraptor
Misaki (Kaichou wa Maidsama) – Milotic

Thats about it… for now… Maybe I should name other Pokemon from different Anime besides from Key… I wonder what Pokemon Kaoru would be… hehehe….
