I decided that for as much as I watch anime, why not create my own reviews? As a thirty-four year old father of two with a full-time job and working on my MBA, I simply don't have the time to invest in creating & managing videos via YouTube channel. Beyond that, one could argue that I am nothing to look at in front of the camera. Finally, it could be a little embarrassing for me to be doing something people a lot younger and more enthusiastic are currently doing.
So what is a smart guy with a pretty good flair for communication to do? Why not a blog?
Right now I'm currently watching several on-going shows thanks to the miracles of streaming television: Grimar of Ash & Fantasy, Erased, Fairy Tail, Naruto and Snow White with Red Hair. But to start, I thought I'd begin with re-watching my favorite show I've seen in over a year: Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, or as it's known to English audiences, Your Lie in April.
Ever since I completed viewing it's 22 episode run almost a year ago, I've been trying to find a romance-themed show that could measure up to it and honestly I've not found anything to coming close. While there are other shows I could sit and mindlessly watch over and over again, this one has developed an emotional connection to me which others have lacked.
With all that said, I'll be approaching the Your Lie in April reviews a little differently than most. I will do a standard written review but will also have a massive spoilers section that talks about all the interesting things I've noticed about the show with a second full viewing, knowing the reveal made in the show's closing fifteen minutes.
Can I go to bed yet?
