Karandi reviews and discusses anime.
It is fairly accepted these days that games inspire movies, TV shows, and anime and a lot of these aren't great. It also is fairly well accepted that popular shows and franchises might get a game spin-off but usually these are pretty much pandering to fans of the source and while some of these games … Continue reading Top 5 Anime I’d Love To Play If They Were An RPG
We all know anime can teach us many things and be entertaining in the process, but what were the top 5 lessons I took from anime last year?
This week's round up of anime related blog posts. There's been some exciting posts coming out to accompany the new season of anime and I'm really enjoying them at the moment.
Examining the over-achieving scythe-meister from Soul Eater. She's a character I've loved forever and now I'm going to share why.
There's a definite distance created when watching anime. In real life I cannot stand the smell of smoke or cigarettes and yet there are some anime characters out there that just look perfectly right when they light up their smoke, pipe, or whatever else. So today I am counting down my favourite 5 characters who are smokers.

Today I'm counting down my … Continue reading Tuesday’s Top 5: Anime Bookworms

I'd love to know what your favourite dubs are.
Antagonists and villains are visually quite fun characters because they usually end up as fashion disasters or twisted into weird caricatures. Today I want to look at five villains and antagonists that have inhuman characteristics that I think are still pretty cool looking (or at the very least they are memorable). I'd love to know … Continue reading Tuesday’s Top 5: Antagonists With Inhuman Characteristics
Alright, this list could literally go on forever because anime has used a lot of items that we usually don't consider weapons in fights. Cards, coins, crosses, hair pins... You name it and some anime character somewhere has attempted to weaponise it (probably successfully). I narrowed this list down to characters and items that were … Continue reading Tuesday’s Top 5: Non-Weapon Items Used as Weapons
Pretty much every anime fan will admit that at some stage they definitely struck the pose of their favourite character (usually a fighter) in real life. There's something very cool about character poses on screen and something utterly ridiculous about using them in real life and yet some cosplayers really pull it off. Today my … Continue reading Top 5: Character Poses
