My Introduction to the Anime World

So...I've been neglecting this blog for a while, but the good news is I watch anime now. My bro first got me hooked to Attack on Titan when it first came out and I loved it, but I thought that was going to be the extent of my anime experience.


But boredom and procrastination (believe it or not this is usually how I find my obsessions) led me to wander the internet when I happened upon: Ouran High School Host Club!


 It took me a couple of episodes to get used to the humor, but after that I finished the whole series in three days. Not a good idea... THERE'S NO SECOND SEASON!!!! GAHHH, HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO ME!!!! The show was just so funny and cute and refreshing. I've been vigilantly looking for shows similar to Ouran when I should be...doing something else (studying for the LSAT). I have yet to find anything similar, most of the anime suggested has annoying main characters that fawn over the love interest(s)...not what I'm looking for. I realize Ouran basically parodies shojo anime, so unfortunately it's difficult to find something like it. But I really would love a second season... *cue puppy dog eyes*


Not to despair though, I'm currently watching Black Butler which is pretty good in a completely different way. It's dark, mysterious and eerie.


 Anyway, back to watching that...oh ahem I mean back to studying. *wink, wink* Hopefully I'll have time to review these anime more in depth later.
