Anime Time! Kuroshitsuji/ Black Butler

The month of October isn't over yet! I wracked my brain to try to figure out what Halloween themed thing I could talk about this week and I came up with kuroshitsuji, a demon butler is definitely something that could make you shiver but at the same time not so scary until he decides to eat your soul.  If you don't know what this anime is about well heres a brief explanation.  The anime is places in the Victorian era and is about a boy named Ciel Phantomhive who is known as the Queen's watch dog as he fulfills the wishes that the Queen cannot handle out in the open.   Seems simple enough but that is not all Ciel is only thirteen and has come to be the Queen's Dog through tragedy.  While still a child a fire engulfed his mansion and killed all his family leaving no remains of the Phantomhive family existence, he too was thought to have died in this fire but two years later he returned to his old home with nothing except for a mysterious black butler, Sebastian Michaelis.  This butler is the best of the best completing even the most troubling task in a matter of seconds  and completing all his masters wishes wonderfully, he is of course "One hell of a butler".  This amazing butler and young master have quite the secret being that the butler is actually a demon who only promises to keep helping the young master until he can enact his revenge on the people who killed his parents.  As the Queen's Watch Dogs Ciel goes against many enemies slowly getting closer to the men that killed his parents but at the same time becoming steps closer to losing his soul.

The anime is quite fun throwing within it some dark humor as well as making light of other wise not so bright situations.  The supernatural fighting against an eccentric grim reaper would be the prime example of this but while the anime has its fun moment there are many time where the seriousness of things do get addressed.  All in all its a anime I would recommend for the Halloween times as well as any other time of the year.  Now though I do love the anime the manga ,which is still ongoing last time I checked,  is wickedly wonderful the feeling the drawing style gives off fits the story line perfectly and you get more things explained to you than in the anime, but if you're looking for a quick fix the anime is always there and will get you acquainted with our haunting main characters.   That being said the dark season of Halloween is almost ending so until the clock strikes mid night on the 31st, be safe and watch out for those dreadful ghost and ghouls.  Happy Halloween!

Drama Time! 100 Tales of Horror

It's October the month where ghost and ghouls walk the earth freely, because of this I though that the 100 Tales of Horror would be a perfect drama to watch for everyone.  The drama itself features a total of  10 classic Japanese ghost stories that are all distinct from one another.  The stories themselves aren't scary at all so even the faint of heart can watch them with ease and not be scared at all.   For the month of October I really recommend it.

Eiga Time! Kaze No Shounen

This movie is about the short life of Ozaki Yutaka whom was a famous singer/songwriter in japan.  He died young at the age of 26 but left many songs to be remembered by, which are still beautiful songs to listen to.  There's not much to say about the movie except that the actors did well by portraying the characters and that it is a shame that Yutaka had to die so young.  If you do not know of Ozaki Yutaka's songs I would suggest you search for I Love You by him, it is a truly beautiful song and the first song that I ever heard by him, though he has many songs this one is the one I like most.   So listen closely to his songs and if you're more interested about him watch the movie!
