Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Well, I'm back after a long period of not being here. Didn't expect it, which explains the lack of warning. As such, I don't really feel like reviewing anything and will do the first list of this journal thing. It may be awesome.

The Top 5:

5: Azumanga Daioh
If you're able to get past the high pitched voices, this can quickly become in the top 5. It's quirky off the wall humor has touched my heart, and has hurt my diaphragm on occasion. You know, because of the laughing.

4: Love Hina
Ah, the unforgettable story of Boy Meets Girl, Boy accidentally sees Girl naked in Hot Springs, Girl punches the hell out of Boy, repeat. The love story that unfolds in all of this is quite entertaining, and the quirkiness of all the characters really makes them endearing. Also, the sheer awesomeness of the flying turtles helps a lot with the fact that this is number 4.

3: Happy Lesson
A Harem Anime, only this time, all the females are only in love with our lead male because they're his adoptive mothers. Also, they're his teachers. The main character is the only actual straight man among the bunch, and is the only one who seems to notice that some of his mothers are weird. Also, there need to be more Chemistry teachers like that in this show. You'd know it if you saw it.

2: Yakitake Japan
A comedy about a boy with the uncanny ability to make bread, Yakitake Japan is very funny. A lot of its humor comes from the Japanese cultures and is filled with puns, so some of the humor is hard to get if you don't have cultural notes on hand. However, the reactions several characters give after having eaten some delicious bread is hysterical. I'm a large fan of the reaction after one of the characters eats some french bread. Hehe, crossdressing.

1: Negima/Mahou Sensei Negima
Works of Ken Akamatsu have appeared twice on a list of five...not bad. Negima is great though. It's about a ten year old Apprentice Wizard who teaches English at an All-Girl's Japanese Private Middle School. I have no idea what more to say about it. It's one of my favorite manga of all time, and is the only manga I must get the moment I see it on store shelves.
