Dragons+Maids = AMAZING!

Lately I've been in a anime & manga mood. I definitely wouldn't consider myself an Otaku by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have a fondness and appreciation for the genres.
I'm also open to suggestions because I'd be lying to y'all that if I said that I have read ALL or MANY. I probably haven't scratched the surface to be honest. But the ones that I have been introduced to me, I have not yet been disappointed (except for Escaflowne, really couldn't get into it, sorry!)

Recently I just discovered Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (thanks to my husband, Barnes & Crunchyroll). So, my husband encountered the anime and one weekend when we were at Barnes & Noble we picked up the manga for it. Both my daughter and I read the first book and we loved it!
Crunchyroll

I love the fact that it has magic, dragons, fantasy, yet it is also set in the modern setting and watching the characters interact with their surroundings and each other is absolutely a joy to see.
The story has many comedic elements that make this story enjoyable, but  at the same time there are also very tender moments between the characters' interactions. So far, the characters are very like-able, relate-able and there is more to them than meets the eye. One of my favorite characters is Kanna. She is absolutely adorable, innocent but at the same time powerful. There is definitely more to the story than just cute characters and comedy, and that there is far more intricate story that has not yet been shown but I have a feeling that is more towards the later books/episodes. This definitely for me is a attention grabber, since I love stories where there is more complexity than what it is seemed. It adds a sense of mystery that keeps you coming for more.

I really don't want to say more to avoid spoilers for those who haven't seen this yet (either the anime or have picked the manga). But it is definitely worth watching/reading, or both!!!
So, if you're looking for a new manga/anime to binge watch, I highly recommend Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.

Gotta Run Away Fast.

We've all seen the trailers for the upcoming release of Pokemon: Detective Pikachu  and most of us have gotten excited to see our favorite Pokemon come to life (CGI, of course) on the big screen. One of the most iconic Pokemon have been Pikachu, and what we've seen, he is stinkingly adorable in anime form or live-action. The animation for the CGI was well handled for what we've been able to gather from the trailers. digitalspy.com So, it makes sense that other production companies want to cash in the nostalgia fever and releases their own spin on classic icons of classic games. But, what in the HECK are you guys thinking at Paramount?!?! About a day ago or so, the trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog movie was release, and let me tell you, Sonic looks like something that was brought from the darkest pits of hell. Seriously, what were the animators thinking?! It's not cute, nor endearing, or even worth of the namesake. Newsweek.com Whatever that was, it was...

I Want a Refund

Hello!! O.k, so no I haven't disappeared yet again on you guys, but last week was eventful since, my In-Laws decided to come for an entire week for a much needed family vacation in my neck of the woods. It was a roller coaster, with up's & down's, but overall we all had an enjoyable experience. Except for Friday... On this day, we decided as a family to finally go see Avengers: Endgame  in theaters. So, my husband, along with my MIL, FIL & daughter (and I of course) headed to the movies. In advance, we reserved our tickets, with reserved seating (it was an IMAX theater) and off we went. We decided that we would do one of the last showings just because we already knew that it was a 3 hour long movie, so, we were o.k with that. The movie theater was not full (due to maybe time, etc). So, we went up, took our seats and prepared to be wowed. Maria Rivas/Instagram Nope, we got annoyed. We had noticed that in our same row, there was another small group of ...

Sink your teeth into Castlevania.

It is almost February and within the time that I've been missing, there have been so many news, that it is kind of hard to talk to you guys about everything. Lately, I must admit that I've been in a weird funk of watching interesting shows, movies, that are not necessarily in everyone's radar. Yes, I could talk about the upcoming Captain Marvel movie, or anything else that has been buzzing around the internet. But lately, with all the nay-sayers, I've kinda gotten into this funk of finding lost treasure in shows that might not be well known, or given enough time of day, due to either people not knowing, or just glossing over.  One of those 'diamonds in the rough' that I recently was made aware of is 'Castlevania' on Netflix. There's only two seasons of the animated series, and I basically binged watched season 1 yesterday with the Hubby.  And seriously, if you haven't seen this animated series, it really is damned good. (See w...
