NOTES ACCORDING TO WEBSITE:

I. FIRST POPULARITY POLL

- The First Popularity Poll was conducted during the FIRST 7 VOLUMES of the manga, so the characters appeared on those volumes are only up to delinquent Mitsui and his gang.

- The time when the serialization of Slam Dunk in Jump was also the era of the popularity of Be-Bop High School, a gangster themed manga. This may explain the reason why Yohei was so popular.

II. SECOND POPULARITY POLL

- The Second Popularity Poll was taken during the match against Sannoh.

- Because of his backstory, Mitsui climbed up from #18 to #2.

Channy Watches Anime Sometimes And You Should Too: Spring Edition

A new season means a whole new onslaught of anime. Some good, and some not so good. Considering my terrible, and specific as fuck tastes, I decided to make another post that no one asked for, talking a little bit about the anime I’ve chosen to keep up with this season. 

Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi

“Female college student Aoi inherited her deceased grandfather's ability to see ayakashi. One day, while Aoi is feeding some ayakashi, a demon appears! He declares that Aoi's grandfather owed a great debt, and as compensation, Aoi must marry the demon! Aoi refuses, and decides to pay off the debt by working.” 

This is pretty much another rendition of Beauty and The Beast, which is usually right up my alley. So far this one has just been okay, and the animation hasn’t really been great from episode one, but I am going to stick with it in hopes of some sort of romantic pay off. 

3D Kanojo: Real Girl

“Tsutsui Hikari is an otaku, and he mostly avoids social life. Hikari has only one friend at school, who is also a social misfit, and he is mocked brutally by most of his classmates for being creepy and weird. One day, he ends up having to clean the school pool with Igarashi Iroha, who appears to be pretty much everything he hates in real-life girls. She skips school, has a blunt manner, doesn't have female friends, and seems the sort to be promiscuous. However, she is friendly to Hikari, and even stands up to the people who make fun of him. Hikari's bitterness and trust issues lead him to say pretty harsh things to Iroha, but she never dismisses him as creepy. After a while, it starts to look like Iroha may become his first real-life, 3D girlfriend! Will he be able to handle it?”

Another show that’s just been okay so far. The animation on this one isn’t the best, and honestly I feel like once I’ve finished watching it I’ll probably forget all about it. The characters aren’t all that likable, and one specific character has a voice actor that seriously grates on my nerves. Why are you watching it then, Channy? You might ask. Well, during the winter season I felt like we were lacking in the romantic comedy genre a little bit when it came to anime. Sure, there were a couple to pick from, but this season I feel like there were so many more options, and I at least wanted to give them a chance. 

Piano no Mori

“A tranquil tale about two boys from very different upbringings. On one hand you have Kai, born as the son of a prostitute, who's been playing the abandoned piano in the forest near his home ever since he was young. And on the other you have Syuhei, practically breast-fed by the piano as the son of a family of prestigious pianists. Yet it is their common bond with the piano that eventually intertwines their paths in life.”

Not too many complaints about this one. So far it’s been a fairly relaxing anime, and I know that’s partly thanks to the classical piano pieces that get played throughout. The animation is alright, though it does take you out of the story a little bit when they suddenly switch to 3D animation for some of the piano playing scenes. (Not sure what the reason for this is, unless it saves the studio money in some way.) Regardless, the story is pretty touching so far, and it’s probably gonna hurt as well. 

Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii

“After discovering that they work at the same company, a gaming crazed otaku and a fujoshi reunite for the first time since middle school. After some post-work drinking sessions they begin dating, but will it be a perfect relationship for the two?”

This one is a cute slice of life rom com, with definitely more com than the rom, but that’s okay! The animation is nice and fluid for the most part, and just look at this height difference!

Devils Line

“Anzai, half vampire, and Tsukasa, a normal college girl. Vampires seem to be living among humans. Of course the government does not know of their existence, because their appearance does not differ from humans. They also do not need to drink blood, but when they get a craving or get angry, they can become uncontrollable monsters.”

I was skeptical about this show after the first episode; the animation really wasn’t great from the get go and the story seemed all over the place. I thought that I might drop it after seeing where the second episode went, but oh boy am I glad that I didn’t. This is exactly what you think it is with that sexy as fuck emo half vampire who no doubt is harbouring a tragic past. He tries so hard to be good, and tries so hard not to want and love the human girl, but by god he just can’t stop. I don’t think the writing in this is going to be the greatest, but I’m loving it for the cheesy as fuck vampire love story it is delivering. Also, the animation appears to be getting slightly better with each episode. 

Rokuhoudou Yotsuiro Biyori

“Four men—Gure, Sui, Tokitaka, and Tsubaki—each help run a Japanese tea shop together called Rokuhoudou. When one visits the shop, they are greeted warmly, is served with tea, and are often helped with any problems they may have.”

A slice of life with a bit of plot about sexy men in yukatas working at a cafe/tea/coffee shop. That’s all you need to know. Though in all honesty, this anime has a really relaxing feel to it, and I’ve been enjoying it a lot. 

Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai

“In the story, Mitsuyoshi Tada, a boy who has never known love, is taking pictures of the cherry blossoms in full bloom when he meets Teresa Wagner, a transfer student from Luxembourg. Upon arriving in Japan, she got lost, separated from her travel companion. Mitsuyoshi helps her and brings her to his grandfather's coffee shop.” 

Another rom com, and I’m pretty sure this is by the same people who did Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, which I also recommend if you’re looking for a ton of comedy with just a hint of romance. Anyway this one is cute so far, and has gotten a few laughs out of me as well. Also the animation is so vibrant, and pretty! 

Hinamatsuri

“One night, a strange object falls on the head of Nitta, a member of the yakuza. Inside the box is a strange young girl named Hina. She has tremendous supernatural powers, and Nitta finds himself reluctantly taking her in. Her powers can come in handy for his yakuza business, but he also runs the risk of her using them on him! Not to mention, if she doesn't use her powers, she will eventually go berserk and destroy everything around her. Nitta and Hina's strange life together is just beginning...” 

Last but certainly not least, we have this gem of an anime. This wacky, slice of life comedy has had me laughing several times with every episode. The characters are all likable, the writing is hilarious, and the animation is wonderful. Not only will this probably be one of my favorites of the season, but one of my favorite animes in general.
