Assassination Classroom Anime File 2: Karma Akabane

"So anime, what ones to I watch and enjoy? well that's simple and there ones no one will expect of me watching" Karma smirked

"Just tell us dude, we all have to do this" Maehara said in the background

"Alright fine, my first choice would have to be the Iron Man anime, l which mixes the superhero and mecha genres, also it takes the design for Iron Man from the movies. I have to admit the CGI felt out of place when that sweet teaser had the armour hand-drawn. Sweet much; but the whole Japan Arc reactor and the Zodiac attacking him to take control of the reactor so they can blow up Japan while using the suit Tony built to replace him, piloted by someone we all thought was dead, brilliant; And the movie sequel Rise of Technovore, which feature Ezekiel Stane, the son of Obadiah Stane and several heroes"

"Seriously! Iron Man?" Maehara asked shocked

"Not only that but I took a liking to the Wolverine Anime as well. It was basically a classic love story with Samurai and sci-fi elements. Seriously where else would you see Wolverine go after the one he loves, while facing off against Russia's attempt at a super soldier Omega Red, duking it out with Shingin; travelling down a merciless road with Yukio on the island of Madripoor. And finally facing off against the one who stole his girlfriend. The one major gripe I have is that Wolverine doesn't look like Wolverine. In fact he looks more like a bishonen hero rather than what he actually does in the comics" Karma said

"A bishonen Wolverine, I would like to see that" Maehara said

"Anyway Item number 3: X-Men the anime, which takes place after the death of Dark Phoenix, the X-Men are brought back together by Xavier to investigate the disappearances of several mutants in Japan, leading to a set of whacked out and mysterious events leading to the true villain. The team in the anime features the classics Beast, Storm, Cyclops and Wolverinve. But joining them are Emma Frost and Armour. The cast is great. Never have a group of mutants been so fun to watch; both in English and Japanese"

"So next we go from Sci-Fi to Horror with Blade! A Daywalker who was born half human, half vampire who is in Japan hunting down Deacon Frost, the one who bit Blade's mother while he was in the womb and a group called Existence, sadly that's all I remember of the anime. I found it was one of the more subdued series of the four animes. Sure it had a wolverine episode in Madripoor and different kinds of vampires, heck I think there were even Water tigers. But all I can remember of it"

"Wow, that must have been lame" Maehara commented

"And last of the five Marvel Animes: Black Widow and Punisher a movie starring the Black Widow and the Punisher as the title said which sees the title heroes teaming up against a terrorist organization who wants to sell S.H.I.E.L.D technology. Sure it seems goofy but it was a good story, and it features a lot of Marvel characters, even Amadeus Cho, the boy genius, Hwakeye, Captain Marvel, Baron Zemo and the Hulk! It was awesome to see the ending fight between the terrorists and Avengers, I hope they make some more anime based off of Marvel comics. But sadly I have to defect from Marvel for a while"

"What do you mean?" Maehara asked

"In 2008 to celebrate the release of The Dark Knight movie Batman Gotham Knight which was a set of six OVAs that told the story between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Each OVA or segment was done by a different studio giving a different look to each one. And they featured a different villain, Deadshot, Killer Croc and the Russian just to name a few. It was dark and moody fitting quite well into the feel of the movies. It also featured the voice of Kevin Conroy, one of the best actor to play Batman in any form of entertainment including what many fans consider the best video game series for Batman: the Batman Arkham series. So you go check it out. But now I have a new story to tell

"Huh, since where were telling a story?" Maehara asked.

"A story about the road so far about carrying on my wayward son in Supernatural the anime. A 22 episode anime that covers the first two seasons but also had new content expanding on the history of the Winchesters and background characters, also that one episode about bad luck in Vegas or something like that. It felt like a proper Supernatural series. But once again I have to gripe. When watching the English dub, I was disappointed that I didn't hear the proper voice of Dean until the last two episodes, but it was good story. A must watch for any fans of the show" Karma said "And that's all the anime I watch"

"No its not, I think you're missing one, one that we all know about" Maehara said smugly

"Huh, which one...Oh, You mean Witchblade" Karma smiled "How could I forget about that one, Yes Witchblade the anime, adapted from the Top Cow comics. It's about single mother and her mature daughter returning to Japan after a massive quake happened wiping out the memory of the mother, but things get worse when her child gets taken away and she gets forced into the middle of a war between a corporation and the government all because of a bracelet she has that is actually an artefact called the Witchblade that turns her into a badass, true she is half naked and the show is a little fanservicery

"A Little?" Maehara questioned

"Yeah, yeah a lot of ecchi stuff, however it also focuses on the mother daughter relationship and the trials and tribulations they have to go through while being a happy family, and that is one of the reason I enjoy Witchblade, come for the action and fanservice stay for the heartwarming family moments" Karma sighed

"So those were the anime I enjoy and I hope you like learning about them, next will be...hm, oh I know; my buddy Nagisa's girl Kaede"

"Why her?" Maehara asked

"I enjoy messing with people, so until next time Bye" Karma said shutting off the camera.

So Karma's choices were all anime based off of American properties, namely Comic books. Now I have all of the anime mentioned but the Blade anime which was harder to write for but I got throught. Now I still need help and I thank those who have suggested titles for particular characters and thanks to the anime of Assassination Classroom I've now got an idea for Fuwa which hopefully will be easy. SO until next time I'll catch you on the Otaku's Flipside
