Rain and Anime

I hate to be a Debby Downer, but the weather outside is horrible. I LOVE rain but I'm not really liking it during December. Plus it's cold rain, I like summer and spring rains... when we actually need it. If its going to be cold outside it might as well snow instead of taunting me with my favorite weather. The sound of rain is nice though... makes me feel like it's spring. Evil tricking rain of evil. It's not spring yet... we still have all of winter before it even gets a little warmer. I really can't wait until a real rain though... sometimes I wish that I could just sit out in the rain or take a walk while it's raining because it seems to relax me and it's so much fun to be in the rain. The puddles on the ground have to be my favorite part of the rain. Jumping and splashing in them is so much fun! It's so much more fun though if you have a friend to get wet when you jump. It's also really funny when your dog ends up looking like a wet rat. Rain is amazing when it's warm outside... just not right now when it's cold.
Ok.... since I really didn't write much about the rain and how much I love rain, I'm going to write about something else that peaks my interest! As you could have guessed by my ranting about fictional characters and the constant anime pictures, I love anime. I really couldn't live without anime! Anime is my entire life. <3 I really only like drama, romance, and humor animes. I don't really try to watch new animes unless I've read the manga or some of my anime buddies have told me that they are AMAZING. When they say that a anime is amazing and that I need to watch it.... they are usually soooo right! A show that one of my friends told me that I need to watch was called Angel Beats, and let me tell you, that show is one of my tied favorite shows! I know all the lines in episodes 3,4, and 10 because they are my most favorite episodes of the show EVER. If you have never watched anime... Angel Beats would be a really good one to start with! A little bit ago I said that this was one of my tied favorite shows... well, the other shows were also show that my friends had told me to watch. If you like drama, action, romance, and humor in one show Angel Beats is a good show for you! The other ones are Soul Eater and Clannad. All these are the BEST SHOWS EVER. They are also really good shows to start with if you want to start watching anime. Soul Eater has action, drama, and humor (more action and humor though). The last one is Clannad. This one is a little more complicated and has a somewhat emotional roller coaster built into it. This is one of the only shows to EVER make me cry. This might also be a really good anime to start with because of the loveable characters and story themes they put in here, it could also be a really bad one to start with if you hate sad things and people dieing (if you don't like shows that have people die in them then don't watch any of these... you might end up hating anime instead of loving it). Clannad has a main story and a really cool side story. You can't really skip even one of these episodes because you might miss something that is really important for later in the story. I can't really talk about the main story much because it would give lots of the story away just by talking about how awesome the characters are, I'll just say that the main story is a mix of romance and drama. The main story doesn't really have much humor in it... but when it does it just makes me love all the characters all so much more! The side story I can explain a little though without giving away the plot of the main story. In the side story there is a girl alone in a world that had died. One day she picks up some scraps that she had found in the endless meadow outside of her small house and made a small robot. The robot cannot talk but the girl seems to know the feelings of her small friend. The girl is happy that she now has a friend, but the world that she lives in is starting to get cold since winter is coming. Somehow the girl knows that when the snow comes she will no longer be able to move so her and the robot start working on a "flying machine" to carry them somewhere where they might be able to find more people. The girl starts to get up and move around less and less as the cold comes so they have to try to work fast before the girl stops moving all together. That's really all I can say of that though. There are two different Clannad stories. One is the regular Clannad show of when they are in high school. This one is a little more romantic. The other one is Clannad: After Story. This one is when they get out of high school. This one is a little more dramatic than the first one though. In all honesty, you don't really have to watch the first show to see the other one. It might help you to get to know the characters a little better if you do though, it also helps learn about the past of the other character. Anyway.... that's all I really have for today. Make sure if your interested in watching anime you might want to start with these shows. (for those who don't like death or violence I would say that you should watch Chobits... it's romance and humor... with a little bit of drama. It's actually a really good show... just not my favorite.)
