Here we are with yet another Vampire Anime, this one is about 2 *Brothers* and what they must do in order to survive as *Black Bloods* (meaning that they are old, essentially)… But there is a catch…you see the younger one Kotaro is actually Alice… the one that created Jiro the older brother!? And it’s Jiro’s job to protect his bloodline at all costs…but how far does that mean he must go? And what problems can arise from watching over such a young kid, after-all curiosity killed the cat…but what about the undead?

This series is all around short, 1 volume of manga and 1 season of anime, but its really nice to watch, so i give it a 8/10 Rating. Jiro wields his sword like a true master, and as his opponents get tougher you will see the skills he exerts and the powers he possesses. But after living for so long the past is bound to catch up to you, the question is….can Jiro handle the mistakes he made in the past, or will it fall through again leaving the world in turmoil? Enjoy this anime and get back to me next week for another great anime!

Its MONDAY! And here i am giving you another great anime, this one is called Hellsing. It is about vampires, Hellsing being one of the old ones, and his job to exterminate his own kind!? This anime series is only 1 season long but there are some great OVAs that follow the manga really well! Hellsing has a lot of interesting characters that just come out of the wood work…(or shadows) and keep you on the edge of your seat with the crazy gun slinging and *DEATH* defying stunts! Ever seen a psychotic paladin running around with bayonets trying to purge the world of all undead? Well you will if you watch this, along with some other unsavory characters with attitudes to match.

This anime is really good to watch, with a rating of 8/10 and some REALLY big guns its sure to entertain and don’t get too attached to the girl… she is quite dangerous… so watch your back! There is a bit of blood/gore in this anime as well so keep the kids from watchin it, but don’t forget to enjoy this wonderful anime. See ya next Monday!

Overall Nerd Rating 10/10 (EVERY nerd loves Martial Arts!)

Well, here we are again its Monday, and that means I have another great anime for everyone to enjoy! For this week, i bring to you History’s Strongest Disciple: Kenichi. This anime is about a boy named Shirahama Kenichi. He is what most would consider to be a rather worthless individual. Possessing no talent for fighting, looks, athletic, or academic ability… so now you are probably wondering this….How is he supposed to be the Strongest Disciple??? Well that is simple, journey through the Hellish training of Ryouzanpaku, and you will either die or get very strong!

This anime is a lot of fun to watch because of the situations he constantly finds himself in and with an overall good storyline whats not to like! You get to learn a little martial arts, laugh at the jaunts of his masters, check out the girls as they fight both other people and over Kenichi! So now the question arises….what would you do to become stronger? Do you think YOU have what it takes to survive the training at Ryouzanpaku!? Well I invite you to try your best, and don’t forget…Mui is a great cheerleader!

Nerd Rating: 9/10

This anime is about two brothers and a planet called Chimera. Their parents are murdered in their home, and as a result they get swept away not knowing what happened or why. But here they are on a strange planet that they have never heard of, and a large group of people out to kill them!

As the anime progresses they find out they are on a planet where the vegetation is the super power and the humans are mostly convicts or people the government simply deemed a threat. So now it comes down to this… What would you do to survive in one of the most hostile environments in the known universe? Find out the conviction of Thor and what he has to do to survive. A young boy facing the harsh reality of his parents murder and the daunting task before him to get back home for vengeance.

Ok, i am back with another exciting anime for everyone to enjoy! This weeks anime is….Spice and Wolf.

This anime is 2 seasons long and follows the story of a young traveling merchant Craft Lawrence, and his Companion Horo (who is really a large and wise wolf) on their crazy journey to find her homeland. But its not all fun and games for this trip, they have to ride the ever changing winds of profit and loss in the markets of different towns, hoping to have food and a buyer waiting for them, while dodging shifty merchants and other perils. All the while making sure they still have enough money left to get drunk and enjoy their hardwork.

I rather enjoyed this anime it was short but packed with a lot of character and was quite entertaining for anyone who enjoys the philosophical ramblings of old sayings. I also enjoyed his wit and that she was continually teaching him more and more about other ways to do business.

Overall Nerd rating: 7/10

It was a strong anime in its first season but the second season just kinda turned too mushy but the character development was good. Well there you have it, another great anime so get out there and watch it!

Every MONDAY, I will bring to you an anime that I think everyone should know about, and to start things off…

Berserk–I give this anime a Nerd rating of 10/10

The manga started in 1990 and is unfortunately still incomplete, however the Anime is 1 season long and is just awesome. This one truly has it all, BIG swords, big battles, boobs, an enthralling story, and the cannon isn’t too bad either!

It starts out and the first episode is actually the end, so don’t get too hyped up! The story then turns around and tells you what has happened to get to this point. It all begins with Guts, a mercenary fighting for money and the thrill of the next fight. He has a death wish and continually fights until he meets Griffith. Griffith gives him purpose, direction, and trust.

Griffith: Leader of the Band of the Hawk, he a smart, daring, and tactical man possessing an unusually large amount of Charisma as well as an excellent swordsman. He uses all of these qualities to further his dream of one day having his own kingdom.

Casca: The female heroine of the story was saved by Griffith from being raped by a nobleman. Ever since she was saved she made her dream to make Griffith’s dream come true, and as such is a commander in the Band of the Hawk. But she isn’t all show, She is one of the best swordsman in the entire mercenary band and possesses a lot of spunk, following Griffith without hesitation, completely enthralled in his being.

Guts: Guts is the main character of Berzerk, he is a renegade, a loose cannon finding fights wherever he can until he meets Griffith. They have a fight where Guts becomes indebted to Griffith and as such serves in the Band of the Hawk. Later in the story he is Promoted to Commander of the Hawk’s Raiders. He is continually surprised by the effectiveness of the mercenary band and grows deeply attached to his brothers in arms. Near the end of the story Guts decides its time to move on, he fights Griffith for his freedom and takes his own Path, until he finds the Band of the Hawk again, in dire need of his aid…

The Band of the Hawk: A mercenary group founded by Griffith as a means to achieve his dream. He uses powerful tactics to build a reputation for the Hawks gaining much influence with the King of Midland. Of course this doesn’t sit too well with the Court so measures are taken…measures with deadly consequences. But at the time the Hawks become idle, Guts gets restless and decides to leave the group. Little did he know, he was the Spine of the Hawks and with him gone…Griffith falls into despair and all but destroys himself and the hawks…

I won’t tell you the end of the anime because it is definitely worth watching!
