[Mini] Ajin Season 1

Ajin is a weird animal. It gets boring, confusing and then sucks you in enough you watch 6 episodes then before you know it you're thankful season 2 is currently on Netflix. Well at least that's what it did for me. The story is a pretty simple one that has been done over and over- there are humans and there are those who look like human but are actually more powerful as well as immortal. Basically this how is about how the non-human are oppressed so a group of them wants the humans to just leave them alone or one powerful Ajin ia going to take over Japan. Despite being such a straight forward premise I did enjoy the first season. Only downside is this series in animated the same way as Knights of Sidonia, so it takes some time to get used to. Despite this style of animation the story translates well on screen and even has a pretty fabtastic soundtrack to go with the action. Reccomended

About Me! (facebook tag)

Since this is from Facebook (Here are the rules - post this list on your profile (in Notes) replacing my answers with yours if you want to. Tag the person you got this from so they can read your answers) I can't really "tag" anyone here so I'll just say whoever wants to do it can. Instead of tagging me though, just put a link to my blog if you can to help me out get some blog views... if you want. You don't have to.



TAG YOUR IT

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?

Turkey

One daughter.

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? 
I would hope so... I know I can be a bit tough to be around at times. Recently started thinking I might have some form of adult ADHD so when I talk it's hard for me to slow myself down and not interrupt. I've gotten better but I probably need to see a medical professional for help.

Well I don't really have a favorite but recently I finished a box of chocolate Krave in less than 2 days.

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? 

Nah. I also hardly ever re-tie them so most of my shoes turn into slip-ons.

Recently I tried the Nutty Coconut at Baskin-Robbins as an ice cream shake. OHMYGAWSH it was so gooood.

14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? 
Hard to tell but I'd like to think I notice personality before looks.

Red.

16. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? 

Getting headaches pretty easily due to high blood pressure... but that can be dealt with by me getting back in shape.

17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? 

My buddy Elijah who moved some years back. He keeps teasing moving back to where he used to live but it just never works out. Hopefully he does before I end up moving which is bound to happen one day now that I'm married.

18. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO COMPLETE THIS LIST? 
Isn't that the point?

22. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? 

Possibly Peach cause that's what I use for skin color.

My husband while asking him what kind of soda he wanted.

I think I can classify it as blond right now.

Hazel

No. I tried them many years back. Didn't like the feel because I have astigmatism so one of my eyes is more curved.

Corn Bread. Specifically the home made kind of my mom that has corn chunks and is paired with honey butter.

I really dislike scary movies, but there are some really good "scary" anime that have some pretty happy yet morbid endings that are some of my favorites.

In theaters was X-men Apocalypse, at home was The Color Purple.

[AOW] (Spring/Summer '16 Special) (6/12-18/16)

 I've really been slacking with watching anime mainly because the past few months I was in the final trimester of being pregnant but as of May 21st my baby was born. Now that we've settled into somewhat of a routine I can spend more time trying to get this blog back to a schedule of it's own! I recently caught up on Sailor Moon Crystal; because of this I plan to try and catch up on series I had previously started and to possibly start some currently airing ones.
