30 Day Anime Challenge Day 30

An anime you wish never ended and continued on

Okay, so we all know that all anime's have to end eventually, well except for like One Piece, shit will continue on until after we're all dead. But other than that any anime that you watch has to come to an end because most shows either don't have enough viewers or the writer just feels it's time to put the story to bed. Normal when a show ends, if you're anything like me you go through the same process: denial, re-watching the entire show about 40 times, withdrawals, anger, more anger, and then eventually a new show comes around that sweeps you off your feet. That being said, generally when an anime ends that I feel has run it's course I'm pretty okay with the ending, but it's the ones that you don't expect to end, the one's that just stop after one season, those are the one's that get me. Those are the shows that cause such a rage to quell up inside me that I cannot be consoled, just ask Ariel, she knows all about it. But anywhos, here's a list of shows that I feel didn't get the ending they deserved and should've continued on.

DISCLAIMER: I know all of these had a manga that I could've and did read to get the rest of the story, but that's not the point! I prefer when it is animated in front of me, it makes the experience seem more real! Don't judge!

Fruits Basket

This show, don't even get me started on this show. I LOVE IT! It's literally an amazing anime and manga, but unfortunately halfway through drawing the second season of Fruits Basket, the artist broke his hand and just never finished the series. So we were left with season one as the "end", which let me tell you is not a satisfying end. So moral of the story is, this needs to pull a one piece and come back on air after 10 years, although, the 10 years mark happened in 2012... but still, FINISH THIS! 

Rave Master

If you're surprised to see this on my list then I recommend you read more of our posts because I'm freaking OBSESSED with this show! Second verse same as the first, except Hiro Mashima did not break his hand, there just unfortunately wasn't enough of a following for this show to finish the anime apparently. But SERIOUSLY?!?! I want the rest of Rave Master animated so bad that it hurts. Unfortunately, bad things come to those who wait, meaning that I'll never get to see the rest of this show animated and just have to keep on re-reading the manga over, and over, and over, and over. But I really wanna see the last two chapters animated! I would probably die right there on the spot out of pure happiness. 

Soul Eater

Soul Eater's ending wasn't that good for me. I'm sure there are tons of people out there who were chill with the ending, but I was not one of them. I feel like by the time they got to the ending I had so many questions that they decided to answer by just giving Maka the power of a meister and a weapon, and while that is OP and all, I just feel like there were so many loose ends left untied. NOT COOL GUYS! So I want this show to continue on so as a redemption for the cop out ending they left us with. That is all. 

30 Day Anime Challenge Day 28

Favorite quote from any anime character

Okay, so I included the entire episode for reference just cause I really like Rave Master... if you couldn't tell. But anywho, if you skip to around the 20 minute mark you will hear Sieg Hart say probably the funniest thing I have ever heard. As a matter of fact when I watched in a couple of months ago, I had to replay that part like 20 times and it was HILARIOUS every time. So seriously, watch this ish, you won't regret it, and if you do, we can't be friends!

Andi's Fave Five: Anime Ships

So this week as a part of a new series I'm trying out, I'm gonna list my current fave five ships for y'all. These may or may not be cannon, but regardless, I love them, also, these are in no particular order. No regrets. Enjoy.

Kitamura x Minori from Toradora

Usagi x Mamoru from Sailor Moon

Natsu x Lucy from Fairy Tail

Haru x Elie from Rave Master

Katara x Zuko from Avatar

September Shipping: Tumblr Challenge, Question 13 "Has a ship ever broken your heart?"

Yes!!! Haru x Elie: Rave Master

Words cannot describe the emotions that were swimming inside my person when I finally got to this part of Rave Master. There was so much build up to them finally saying I love you but I didn't want Elie to have to destroy Haru in order to save all of humanity. That tore me up inside, I was actually tearing, and that doesn't happen to me all that often, so that's sayin something. **SPOILER ALERT** I know they end up together but it was so heart breaking that not only did she have to use her magic to indirectly destroy Haru, but why did she have to lose her memory?? It did save her from probably the most intense heart break she would ever have experienced, but it just didn't seem fair that if Haru had actually died that she would have absolutely no memory of him. He was such an important part of her life, we got to watch them grow closer and closer together until they were forced to admit their love for each other by Musica and Julia, and I grew to love them so much. But then, in an instant, it was just gone. Etherion destroyed Haru, Elie, and my heart. It was fortunately mended in the final chapter when everyone went to visit Haru's grave one year later and he miraculously appeared exactly as he was the day that Elie had to blast him with Etherion, but I unfortunately couldn't make myself read the last chapter for like an hour after I read the heart breaking one, so I had to live with the pain for an hour before my soul was repaired, and that was not something I was prepared to live with. I think it came as even more of a shock to me because after all the hints that were given off I thought that Elie was going to be the one to die, and that would've wounded my soul too, but Haru's death took me by surprise, and I was really hoping that he would've been able to escape from Endless. I think in the back of my mind I knew it wouldn't happen, but I am forever hopeful whenever it comes to love. So yes, Haru and Elie broke my heart. They broke it real good. 

My Love Knows No Bounds... Musica

After re-reading Rave Master countless times this weekend, I learned one thing, my love for Musica knows no bounds. Literally, I can't stop. He has the sickest burns, is super smooth with the ladies, has badass silver claimer powers, and is a true bro/excellent wingman.

The script from Rave Master anime is gold, for real tho, I am not sorry I watched it even though every time I watch it I wish there were more. But it's killer lines "Where did you learn silver claiming" "The instructions were on the inside of a cereal box!" that fuel my love for Musica even more! Not to mention how much I loved his 5 second relationship with Reina. If she hadn't been killed I think that they would've had a very successful relationship, but alas, we learned she actually had good intentions and a hidden heart of gold as well as a firey personality that would've really complimented Musica, however, if they dated we may not have gotten the gem of the scene where he stole Nagisa's bra?? Probs wouldn't have been able to live without that. 

Now, his silver alchemy? Pretty awesome, I know that in the grand scheme of things gold claiming is higher than silver, but I think he proved that he's super powerful time and time again, not to mention when he fought with Reina and was able to do gold claiming, it just seriously injures him, sooo less than ideal. But I'm just sayin', he could do it. And let's all remember when he used every last ounce of his strength and magic to create Ravelt for Haru which included HIS SOUL! So much bro love and I am a huge fan of it. 

And I think one of my favorite qualities of his, is his true bro mentality and the vital role he played in getting Haru to admit his love for Elie because he's a killer wingman. 

Seriously, Musica, what can't you do? Despite his rough and tumble background, he still has amazing loyalty to his friends, his fiery determination cannot be tamed and he has a booty that just wont quit.. well, maybe not that one, but I think you get the point. Words cannot express my love for Musica, and I could probably go on and on forever about his glory. If you don't know who he is, learn about him. Love him. Then come back and converse with me. 

RAVE MASTER!!!!

So.... I JUST FREAKIN FINISHED RAVE MASTER! Like what?? Why did I wait so long to read this manga??? I mean I may have only been 5 when it came out but still, I was reading back then! MIND BLOWN. Loved it. All I have to say for right now is... can I get a reboot anime?? Amiright?? More thoughts and words will come later but if you'll excuse me I have to go re-read the ending approximately 57 more times!! PS: we gotta convince Ariel to finish it... but actually.
