My Anime Recommendations

In no particular order:

Cowboy Bebop: A modern classic! There are some weird episodes, but the good ones are oooooo sooooo good!!! The movie is good too ;-)

Vision of Escaflowne: One of my favorite series. Does take some getting used to, but once you are get ready for an entertaining experience. I do NOT recommend the movie. A very different take on the series, but can never sufficiently carry all the great points over to a 90 minute film. Gets to be too much like Evangelion.

Ruroni Kenshin: Probably another modern classic, though it does suffer from gaps in quality episodes. A big complaint is that they don't properly carry the momentum from the second season. Shame really. I recommend getting the OVAs: Samurai X (the director's cut if possible. Two dvd's for four episodes is a rip off), the first three dvd's of the regular series, the entire Kyoto story arc (the biggest reason why it is so popular!), and then Reflections to properly conclude the series.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The classic! I haven't seen the original TV series, but the movies can work just as well. I also recommend Char's Counterattack if you're like me and desire a satisfactory ending ^_^

Princess Mononoke: There just has to be at least one Miyazaki film in any anime list (a must I tell you!!!). I must confess that I haven't seen that many of his films. Only three or so... *SIGH* Anyway, this is the only movie I've seen that isn't that childish, though there's nothing wrong with that. A good movie, though it seems to polarize the fans. You either like it or don't (I can be wrong about that). This is the movie that inspired this list. My roommate watched the film and sparked a conversation. Uh... I don't know what else to say. HEH

Hmm... I keep thinking that this list should be longer... Oh well. Sometime I'll write another post with some honorable mentions and my take on some popular series and supposed classics (yes, what do I think of Sailor Moon, Dragonball, and Pokemon? Hmm...)

Till next time,
dkFX

Know Who You Are

That evening after sunset, many sick and demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus. The whole town gathered at the door to watch. So Jesus healed many people who were sick with various diseases, and he cast out many demons. But because the demons knew who he was, he did not allow them to speak. -Mark 1:32-34 NLT Why did Jesus not allow the demons to speak? I believe Luke 4:33-37 provides some insight.   Once when [Jesus] was in the synagogue, a man possessed by a demon - an evil spirit - began shouting at Jesus, "Go away! Why are you interfering with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are - the Holy One sent from God! " Jesus cut him short. " Be quiet !  Come out of the man ," he ordered. At that, the demon threw the man to the floor as the crowd watched; then it came out of him without hurting him further. Amazed, the people exclaimed, "What authority and power this man's words possess! Even evil spirits obey him, and the...

Upcoming Battle?

I have been having disturbing dreams lately 😣 I wish I could share what they were, but unfortunately do not remember them 😕 Fortunately I still remember what I dreamt last night, and it was not that disturbing 😌 The dream came across like an anime. At first things were normal, and I was hanging out with my friends. I seemed to be either in high school or college and going through the typical things students deal with. Then suddenly I either fell asleep, or willingly transported myself and my best friend into another place. It was in a spiritual realm and we were in a vast area that had multiple shelves full of books. There was another, more mature, person with us, and he was tasked to be like a guard. The three of us were soon joined by my girlfriend, and together we psyched ourselves up for an upcoming battle ⚔ In a separate area, there was another group preparing themselves too. It mirrored my own group as there was a main person, a more mature guard, two other males, and a female...

The Widow's Offering

Mark 12:41-44 NLT Jesus sat down near the collection box in the Temple and watched as the crowds dropped in their money. Many rich people put in large amounts.   Then a poor widow came and dropped in two small coins. Jesus called his disciples to him and said,  “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has given more than all the others who are making contributions.   For they gave a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she had to live on.” "For they gave a tiny  part of their surplus ..." How often do we give a tiny part of our surplus to others? Whenever I come across beggars I would like to give them a dollar to be a little generous. But see what I just said there? I said "a little  generous." It is like I am patting myself on the back for giving one dollar out the many dollars I have available.  How often do we do that with God? We may go to church, but that is only for a brief amount of time on a Sunday. The more devo...
