During Nintendo’s presentation at E3 2019, we finally got more details on the new Switch game, Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It takes the next logical step in gameplay by upgrading the player from mayor to sole developer on a deserted island, letting them customize their new town in any way they so choose. The release date has been pushed back to March 2020, unfortunately, but at least that gives us more time to speculate on what New Horizons has in store for us!
A memorable opening theme can elevate an anime from good to great, particularly when its visuals and music tie into the show’s narrative. Today, we’re focusing on five OPs that change over time to reflect the shifting events and themes that play out in their respective shows. Some of these changes are so subtle that you’ll need several rewatches or a comparison video to catch them, while others are so abrupt and intense that they hit you like a punch to the gut. Let’s check out the 5 Best Evolving Anime Openings!
It’s the most important plot point of the entire Attack on Titan series, and they’ve been teasing it since the very first episode—what’s in Eren’s basement? Supposedly his father hid some vital information that the rulers of the walls don’t want the public to know, but his house has been trapped in titan-infested territory for the majority of the story and nobody has been able to reach it. That is, until now.
Now that the anime has finally adapted the basement scene after 3 seasons and 6 years of anticipation, we’re here to tell you that it’s worth the wait. The narrative changes dramatically after this moment, and it turns what could’ve been just another shounen action series into a deeply compelling war drama with thrilling twists at every turn. Let’s take a closer look at exactly how mangaka Hajime Isayama turned Attack on Titan from good to great with a single scene.
The world of anime is home to an endless variety of costume designs that range from realistic school uniforms to fantastical outfits you could never see in real life (unless an ambitious cosplayer takes up the job). Shows like Code Geass, Vampire Knight, and Boku no Hero Academia have some of the best examples of successful designs that burst with creativity from every seam, but we’re not here today to talk about success.
Instead, we’re going to focus on anime that got it all wrong. Whether it’s due to wacky proportions, clashing colors, or just a complete lack of taste, these ten shows missed the mark so hard that they tunneled under the Earth from embarrassment. Or, at least, we wish they had. Here are the top 10 anime with the worst dressed characters!
Sexy anime boys! Isn’t that what everyone wants in their entertainment? Well, at least for the fujoshis and bishounen fans, the amount of quality sexy anime boys is directly proportional to our enjoyment of any given season. So, did Spring 2019 live up to everyone’s expectations and bestow upon us new hunks to love and write hundreds of doujins about? Let’s see!
Anime with complex psychological themes are difficult to come by, but once you find one, you’re pretty much guaranteed a wild ride from start to finish. We love Neon Genesis Evangelion and Paranoia Agent, but today we want to showcase some of our favorite anime that star female protagonists. Whether they’re just normal girls thrown into extraordinary circumstances or they’ve been part of this crazy world since the very beginning, these ladies are our guides through the mind-bending stories they inhabit. Let’s get to know them better!
