1. The Leftovers
The first episode did a great job at getting me hooked to watch it.
I love the type of fear in this drama and how interesting it is to see how differently this can effect people.
The acting is so good and the music is perfect.
I was interested in all of the main characters, I either liked them or hated them. There were none I found boring.
2. The Walking Dead
I'm talking about the ending half of season 4 and the first half of season 5.
(Spoilers Start!)
I loved it. It was really exciting and made me nervous seeing the characters split up and trying to meet up to the best place they could think the rest of their group would go.
Most of them were able to get to know a little bit more about each other and become closer.
(Spoilers end!)
I never got bored with The Walking Dead. I love it as strong as I did when I first starting watching it.
Some fans seem to get confused and think this is a action series. It's not, it's a drama series.
This anime surprised me with how great it is. Most anime doesn't shock me anymore like it used to when I was in high school because I just got sick of cliches and fan service in anime as I got older.
This anime is listed as a horror anime but I consider it a drama with just a little bit more action than The Walking Dead. It's really interesting and exciting seeing what the main characters will have to face and seeing them change and develop.
They both are shows that people who aren't anime fans would most likely enjoy these series.
Sadly, there is one cliche that even these amazing anime can't seem to escape from, the main characters are teenagers.
I can't wait for the day where anime starts popping out with shows that have the main characters in their 40s or up.
4. Parks and Recreation
Season 6. It was just really funny, just as funny as it has been. Most shows get less funny as it goes on but this is one the of ones that stays good!
I love it way more than The Office and I love that the characters actually grow into a better person.
The Office was funny and I like that show but it's just not as great as Parks and Recreation is with their story and character development. They develop and are still funny and entertaining to watch.
Characters in The Office seemed to just stay the same. Yes, they may have gotten a better job, got into a relationship, got married and/or started a family but they still didn't seem to develop much differently than they were before experiencing all of that. It doesn't make it a bad comedy it just makes it a comedy I don't like as much as I do others ones. Parks and Rec is that comedy I like better. Way better.
5. Aldnoah.Zero
This is another anime that really surprised me, not because it's so good and should be as popular as Attack On Titan and Parasyte but because it's a Mecha anime that I actually like.
Other mecha anime are boring to me even the action because it's not well done, in my opinion. This anime is really, really good with its action by showing us what is happening in every move.
Other anime will just have the big robots shooting at each other wildly.
In Aldnoah.Zero they actually focus on the battle and try to make every hit count.
If it was just a drama anime, I would not have stuck with it. This may be the only show were there needs to be more action than drama.
6. Hunter x Hunter
This was my favorite anime for a long time, not because it's a great show like Attack On Titan or Parasyte but because I started watching the old anime with my husband and grown attached to the characters. We starting reading the manga of it when the old anime stopped after Greed Island and was so happy to hear that a updated anime was going to air and was going to be animated past Greed Island. Plus, this newer anime of HxH is much more faithful to the manga.
The Ant Arc was my least my favorite but it was pretty cool seeing it animated. I really don't think it needed to be that long because there are a lot of ant characters that I didn't care about and didn't need to know their story.
Any parts based on Killua were so good. Kurapika was my favorite character for a while from this anime but after seeing Killua in the Ant Arc and Alluka's Arc, I think he has passed Kurapika in my heart.
7. Noragami
This show is so entertaining, I was never bored. Never!
I loved seeing the main character start having feelings for the female character. I enjoyed most of the action but I mainly really loved this anime because it's funny, the drama is decent and can be cute at times.
The only thing bad about it is it was too short which made it rush the last fight. It needed to be a few episodes longer.
8. Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun
It's funny and cute! The opening song is really good too!
9. Attack On Space
This is a fan-made, parody, audio play series on YouTube.
It's about the characters from Attack On Titan in a different universe. Think of it as a fanfiction but you watch it instead of reading it.
It takes place way in the future and it has pretty good English voice actors, interesting original characters and a good story line.
It was so good that it almost got worked into a live action from a different group. Sadly the Kickstarter didn't make it but the fact that almost happened is amazing!
The first episode or two has no art, just a black screen and audio and speech text too, i think. But they do get art into it in episode 3, I believe. It's like watching a visual novel.
10. Survey Corpse
This is another fan-made, audio play, parody on YouTube. And it's also a parody of Attack on Titan but in a zombie apocalyptic world.
I'm not going to lie, I didn't care at all about any of the characters besides Levi, Petra and Erwin. And I wanted to care about Eren because I like him but I was upset the characters all have the same relationships as the canon series and as Attack On Space for that matter. Which means Mikasa is Eren's sister...again! Annie, Bert, and Reiner are in a secret group...again! Jean and Eren don't get along..again! And Armin becomes close with Eren, Sasha and Connie are close and Jean and Marco are close...again! And of course the same characters that die in the canon series die in this series too.
But as I watched more, I do care about almost all of the characters now.
I like this setting way more than them being in space but because I seen Attack On Space first I wasn't rolling my eyes at the relationships and outcomes like I am with Survey Corpse.
I would have loved it to death if the characters had the same personalities but different relationships or even different ages too. But just having the different relationships would be a big plus by itself because we wouldn't know what to expect at all.
There's an episode where the characters pair off with a character they usually aren't always with and I loved that episode so much! It was so interesting seeing two characters who hardly talk to each other, have a conversion and got to understand each other more.
Even though it has all these same routines it's still a really good series and has pretty good English voice acting and the art is good as well. I get really excited when I see a new episode as been posted!
These two shows really helped me this year with Attack On Titan not airing. And it wont until 2016....
