Looking back on 2009 a bit, what we consider was the best anime is…….

Guin Saga

Based on the novels by the Japanese author Kaoru Kurimoto, Guin Saga has sometimes been referred to as the Japanese’s answer to Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.  The first season of anime (26 episodes) feels truly epic in scale and provides lots of drama, action, romance and plot twists/angst.  This is not a light hearted comedy or slapstick romance comedy so don’t look here if you want that.  Go to Guin Saga if you want engaging story telling, animation and adventure.

Overall rating: 10/10 and Haven’s Best Anime of 2009 Award

The Future:  The anime only covered the first 15 novels out of more than 100 so hopefully they continue to make more anime.

This anime is the pinnacle of harem type animes and this is not necessarily a good thing.  The character designs and animation are gorgeous but the story is lacking severely and it’s hard to get any kind of emotional attachment to any of the characters.  When all the girls like one dude i.e. harem for no good reason then it just becomes kind of ridiculous.  Sure the eye candy and fan service is nice, but really it can only take you so far.

What happened to the good ole harem type animes like Ai Yori Aoshi??

Please come back!

Overall rating for Kampfer I would say is 6/10.  You’ve been warned.

I’ve watched up to episode 5 of Kimi ni Todoke.  It’s a great anime if you like romance drama with a bit of comedy mixed in.

It’s about a girl that is a loner at school but starts opening up by being influenced by one of her boy classmates that seems the total opposite of and her.  I won’t give away any more details.

Overall rating so far: 9/10
