Cartoon Sunday: Another (The Anime)

Posted by Anna H. on January 4, 2015 at 2:20 AM




How's it going my gumdrops? Yesterday, I took a break from revising and archiving my Xanga 1.0 and Blogster entries on JournalHome.com. My fingertips needed a break from revising and archiving. Tomorrow, I should be back at it.


I was about to publish a short blog on Blogster, since I haven't posted any in 2 months. Then, I thought to myself: "What's the point? Most on Blogster purposely ostracize me because I don't waste time chastising and oppressing other bloggers with my political and religious views."


There has suddenly been an increase in new bloggers joining Blogster, lately. They most definitely have their work cut out for them. I'm almost tempted to post:


"RUN AND KEEP ON RUNNING! DON'T LOOK BACK! GET OUT, WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!"


Yes, there are some decent bloggers on that site. However, apolitical Blogsterians like myself must regularly comb through pages of self-righteous, politically, and religiously divisive blogs to find us.


This is not including the drama kings and queens. They will play the roles of eternal victims, while wreaking havoc.



My Response:


You need Adobe Flash Player to view this content.



Meanwhile, I checked Adult Swim's schedule, last week. The network is re-airing Deadman Wonderland of all the Horror Anime in existence.


At the moment, I am not watching anything on Adult Swim's Saturday night lineup.


As usual, most of their shows are tired, if not shitty acquisitions, that I don't want to watch.


Speaking of Horror, I have more Horror today. Last year, I gave my Horror Anime Review and Another was on the list.



Another Anime In A Nutshell:


You need Adobe Flash Player to view this content.




In case you missed my review, here is a summary of Another. Once again, Another is a Seinen Horror-Mystery Anime based off the Japanese novel, Another.


It begins with an explanation about Koichi Sasakibara. He is a 15-year-old junior high student. His mother died shortly after he was born and his father is a business man.


Koichi's father traveled abroad to India for a year. This leads to Koichi being sent to live with his aunt and grandparents in Yomiyama, Japan.


Yomiyama is a small Japanese town where his dead mother grew up. In the process of him moving to Yomiyama, he acquires pneumothorax (basically a collapsed lung).


Koichi's pneumothorax delays him from transferring to his new school and causes him to be hospitalized. Suddenly, he meets this strange girl with an eye patch named, Mei Misaki.


After meeting Mei, Koichi's curious yet strange "classroom representatives" from his new school visit him in the hospital. This is shortly before his 1st day of school.


Koichi's classmates want to learn more about his background. Once Koichi is finally released from the hospital, he starts getting suspicious vibes from his classmates.


Mei is sometimes visible in his classroom. Everyone except Koichi pretends, that she does NOT exist. Their classroom at Yomiyama North Middle School has been cursed, since 1972.


They must follow certain rules around the campus, in order to avoid dying brutal deaths. Those same rules backfire on everybody both inside and outside Koichi's classroom.


Another has some brutal death tolls. Some Anime critics say, that Another is similar to the movie, Final Destination. I've never watched Final Destination. Therefore, I can't support their claims.


If you like creepy dolls, curses, ghosts, death tolls, and Horror-Mystery, you should give Another a watch. It not only has a novel and an Anime, but also a live-action J-Horror Movie and Manga. Anyway, here is Another for Cartoon Sunday.

I actually, liked Death Note. I just hated the way it ended. You might liked Another because it's not like Death Note. LOL! Click on the link above and give it a watch. ;)

Nah, I really liked deathnote....It came around a point in my life where i had a lot of time on my hands, and the ability to decipher it, because there were some gaping plot holes......I also like Paranoia Agent....Just trying to get a feel for what i'm getting into.

I'll watch it later on the big screen....I hate streaming on my comp

I used to laugh at that bird because he didn't know his own name. Now that I think about it, he reminds me of my German American friend from college talking about his bird. He had a bird named Retard. LMAO!

I was almost in stitches from laughing at him telling me about Retard thinking he was a bat. Supposedly, Retard would spread his wings and try to fly around his cage only to fall to the bottom of it. LMAO!
