Gakuen Alice

Yeah, I know it's an old anime. But I'm not going to write about it's anime adaptation, but rather, the original manga.

For those who haven't watched this yet, I'll give you my warning. The anime is really short and you'll be left wanting a season 2. So I recommend that you read the manga first. 

Genre: Comedy, Supernatural,Romance, Drama
Written by: Higuchi Tachibana

SUMMARY...

Mikan Sakura and Hotaru Imai were the stars in their town. But everything will change when Hotaru is transferred to a mysterious and prestigious private school somewhere in Tokyo.

Worried about her best friend, Mikan Sakura went to Tokyo by herself. There she discovers Alice Academy, a school for "gifted" children. Little did she know that she is one of them herself. 

Mikan will discover new friends and classmates (and romance :D), and she will discover a little something about her past...

WHAT I THINK...

The author, Tachibana Higuchi, balanced the light and heavy aspects of the story perfectly. The plot is actually well developed, as you can really see the character's development from childhood to their teenage years. The manga teaches us that not everything in life is happy or wonderful, but at the same time it teaches us that everything will turn out alright. 

You'll never get tired of  it. Every chapter leaves you wanting more and I assure you that you will finish the whole 31 volumes in no time!!!

I really enjoyed reading the anime. I am patiently (kind of) waiting for the final chapter of the manga to be released. Please, Tachibana Higuchi, release it already!!!

Special A

Hanozono Hikari was used to being undefeated in all aspects of things- academics, physical fitness and yes, even martial arts. but that all changed when one day, Takishima Kei- son of the CEO of Takishima group of companies, defeated her in a match of martial arts.

Since then, Hikari swore to defeat Takishima in every aspect: studies, sports, or in any other competition. Presently, Hikari entered Hakusen Academy in order to beat Takishima.

The anime follows the story of Hikari's mission to beat Takishima. As time goes by, she develops a strong bond of friendship with the rest of the top seven students of the Academy, collectively called Special A.

Genre: Romantic comedy, School story
Written: by Maki Minami

WHAT I THINK...
Special A is one of my fave anime ever!!! It made me smile, laugh, cry and symphatize in just a span of one episode. The graphics are amazing, and the songs are too. 

Each of the character's personalities are so unique and well developed. You'll surely be attached to them.

Special A taught me that no man is an island, that everybody is programmed to live with others, to need others.

And of course, you'll fall in LOVE with Takishima Kei. Hahaha. Honestly, you will.

Fanfiction

Who among you guys like fanfictions? You know, stories based on the plots of different fictional stories? Stories that uses the charcters of legally published books, television shows, movies or comics? Still don't get it?
For example:

After a mission gone wrong, Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke and the Akatsuki are turned into kittens and transported to our world. When they become the pets of a Naruto obsessed teenage girl and her friends, just what will happen?

Sorry for the example. But don't think that every fanfiction has the genre of parody/humor/comedy. Fanfiction has a wide range of dramas: drama, romance, angst, tragedy, adventure, sci-fi. You name it, they got it. 

For example:

Edward Masen is the star of a top Dance Academy. Bella Swan is just the first year new girl who Edward teaches for partnering. But as an unfathomable connection emerges in the moonlit ballet studio, Edward and Bella become the breathtaking, beautiful combination of skill and passion. How can this work, though, when Edward refuses to acknowledge their dance had ever happened?

Fairy Tail

In my opinion, Fairy Tail, is one of the greatest anime ever made (credits to Hiro Mashima of course). You know why? Because it's got everything- action, adventure, drama, romance, comedy. 

The plot is well-made, with a lot of twists and turns; you'll have to expect the unexpected. All events, even the seemingly minor ones, has a connection to the over-all plot. Characters that doesn't seem important at first, suddenly becomes the main character of an arc.

The story takes place at Earthland, a world that uses magic as medium for their jobs. The people who uses magic to earn money are called "wizards" (obviously XD). If you're a wizard, then you can choose to join a gulid, which are like companies for wizards. Wizards go out on jobs to earn money.

In a certain city called Magnolia, the most boisterous guild is found- Fairy Tail. You'll never find a more lively guild anywhere. There are fire wizards, ice mages, card magicians- almost any type of magician really.

That's not all there is to Fairy Tail. You know what else? Hot girls and handsmome guys.
