Okay, so this blog is for animes I have watched. I am going to put the name of the anime, the genre, a short synopsis and review, rating, and a few small pictures. So that’s how this is working. Some of my synopses I took from ANN, some I wrote myself, depending on how well I could relay the storyline. My ratings are out of 10, 1 being ‘it was horrible’, 5 being ‘it’s okay’, and 10 being ‘it was so amazing that you absolutely NEED to go watch it. RIGHT NOW.’

Bodacious Space Pirates


adventure/sci-fi/action 


Marika finds out that her father has died.  She never knew him though.  And her recently deceased father was a space pirate; a captain, in fact.  And she’s inherited his ship.  

This anime was great and I enjoyed it a lot.  Very fun and upbeat.  It was too short, in my opinion.  Two downsides:  There are so many potentially fantastic characters that they don’t get into.  If they had made it a season longer, they could have delved into the development of those characters more (the only really developed characters are Marika and one of her friends).  The plus side to there not being tons of character development is that the story was well put together.  Other downside: I do not know why it was necessary, but the makers decided to have two of Marika’s (female) upperclassmen in school be in a relationship with one another.  You don’t know this until all of a sudden:  la de da~~~~h they’re kissing in front of you.  Then proceed to kiss twice more in the same episode.  Luckily, it’s limited to that single episode.  But, overall I’d give this anime an … … … … 8.5.  It had a good story, good animation, fun characters, fun action.  They left enough things unsaid that they could (and I hope they do) make another couple of seasons.  Rated 13+ only because there’s a lot of sci-fi content in it (and an episode of kissing girls) that smaller children wouldn’t understand.  Wow, that was a long review.  Whoopsies.
