Cover of Howl's Moving Castle
The month of February has been hectic, while I get the last edits on my novel, LEGEND OF THE TENGU PRINCE finished so that I can self-publish it on Amazon.com. Also, I have been working on adapting the novel to screenplay format so that I can enter it into contests this year. Since time is sparse and I have missed the last few weekend blogs, I have decided to list some of my favorite Anime series and movies for you to enjoy.
I am currently watching “Moribito, Guardian of the Spirit” found at http://is.gd/olSWGK It is set in Ancient Japan and is written in the Fantasy-Adventure genre that I also write.
Another long time favorite Anime of mine is “Princess Mononoke” is a fantasy, action-adventure set in Ancient Japan. A good site to watch it is at http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/3371638
“Lovely Complex” is a comedy Anime that is well worth your time to watch. http://www.animefreak.tv/watch/lovely-complex-english-dubbed-online-free
“Monster” is a psychological thriller that I watched last year and could not stop until I had viewed all 74 episodes which had me up late for several nights, my attention glued to the computer screen. http://www.animefreak.tv/watch/monster-online
“Fruits Basket” is a sweet Anime with shape-shifting characters from the Chinese zodiac http://www.hulu.com/fruits-basket
“Bleach” http://www.bleachget.com/ was recommended by my son who is the one that got me interested in Anime in the first place. It concerns a “Shikigami” named Bleach.
My son also recommended “Kekkaishi“, a supernatural adventure http://www.animefreak.tv/watch/kekkaishi-online
The last two can be found at the same site. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8604596739848246425#docid=-7679642117452988610 They are “Howl’s Moving Castle” and “Spirited Away“. Both are fantasy adventures. One is set in a fantasy-like version of medieval Europe, the other takes place in modern-day Japan.
Anime Freak is a good website to watch Anime series.
ENJOY!
