The Metropolis Mind

Greetings everyone! This is going to be a quick post on my top summer 2016 anime openings.

Earlier this afternoon I created a really quick video presentation of my initial rankings on the opening songs this season! This post is simply dedicated to sharing you the video.

So far, summer openings have been quite stable. There are some good ones here and there and there are also some underrated ones which I was able to love so much that I had to put it in the video.

So here are short and sweet comments on the anime titles I've included in the list









Remember that this is just my initial top list! The full list will be posted probably 2 weeks before summer season ends just as much as my endings list are! Meanwhile, I'm also planning on redoing my Spring 2016 Openings and Endings video so I could also get them up and running on my Youtube account.

Don't worry if your favorite isn't here, it's just my initial top list!

If you aren't yet subscribed to my Youtube channel, please do so here! 

Until next time lovely readers!

*Videos to the opening and ending theme song are at the end of the post!
The brotherly love between the 2 main characters was also one of the things that I adored in this series. It made me feel so fresh and happy to look at the two boy main characters developed in terms of relationship as the series went on and about. The character design was quite a special one to be honest. I've read lots of reviews saying it was simple. Yep, it was simple but because of that, it also was able to mix well with the simplistic aura the show tries to give out and because of that, it works!

The friendship was also really touching! Though some characters tend to irritate me at some scenes I guess that just goes to show how much the studio also placed a lot of effort into making them more "human". The last episode was also quite satisfying!

It's been a long time since I last wrote something, I was too busy with school, catching up with shows as well as creating my costume for my cosplay. I'll try my best to post a lot within this coming weekend so I hope you all would look forward to that!

This post will be dedicated to my first impressions on some of the summer 2016 shows I've watched. I'll be giving out my thoughts and I'll try my best to not give out spoilers as I go type it up.

Remember that these first impressions' scope are only focused on my thoughts on the first episode of the shows I'll be mentioning here. It might not be my whole thoughts on the whole show itself after all, this is just a "first impressions" post.

Greetings everyone! I know it's super late for this because summer has already started but anyways, it still feels right to give y'all my ultimate recommendations from all the spring animes I've watched because why not right?

So here are my final top overall shows I'd recommend you to watch that are from spring this year.

1. Boku no Hero Academia

Boku no Hero Academia is an anime that's really to easy to watch. It's a Shounen anime that'll give you those One Punch Man and Naruto vibes going on. It's an easy pick for my recommendations because this show is so epic! I love Izuku Midoriya!

2. Kiznaiver

Another of the spring shows that I really adored! In fact out of all the animes in the list, this has got to be the top 1. I just didn't have time to arrange these because at the end of the day, these are all good! No need to pit them against each other. Kiznaiver really makes my heart crumble with every episode I watch - It's an emotionally wrecking show. It was one of my 2 Spring Highlights post series which you can read here:

3. Bungou Stray Dogs

I got this anime on hold after watching the first episode because I felt that it was lacking something. I got back to it after a few months and boom, I loved it. Full of twists and turns - this interesting story will always keep you coming back for more!

4. Sakamoto desu ga?

The most coolest character in town is featured in this anime. This light, funny anime was never meant to be taken seriously since it's first episode. This anime is guaranteed to make you laugh with all it's randomness! I totally recommend this one. Did you know? I was originally planning on putting this show on my 3rd Spring Highlights but didn't find the time (and motivation) to do so.

5. Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

An epic story that reminds the viewers about Attack on Titan. Some people call this the "Attack on Trains" *laughs*. This show never fails to astound me because of it's action-packed scenes! The scenes were so mind blowing-ly good! Totally recommended to all those who loved Attack on Titan. Please satisfy yourself with this while waiting for AoT's 2nd season!

6. Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge

Tanaka-kun is just like Sakamoto from "Sakamoto desu ga?" - he's cool. The only difference is the former is listless! This show never fails to make me sleep after watching - in a good way! This show is also relatable as well! After all, deep down we are all sleepy and lazy like Tanaka-kun.  This anime is recommended to those who want to relax.

7. Shounen Maid

An endearing story about a boy who lost his mom and had to move in to his uncle's house. This light hearted show is one of my absolute favorites from Spring 2016 and I really recommend it. I wrote a post about it here:

8. Nijiiro Days

Nijiiro Days isn't technically a Spring anime but it's a part of the Winter 2016 lineup. I've considered putting this one because, it did actually continue on throughout spring so it somehow is still a part of spring 2016. Anyways, this anime is also light and the plot is simple! It's basically about 4 boys living their highschool life! It's a really easy anime to pickup that's why I recommend this one when you  just want something easy to watch.



That's it for my short post about my spring 2016 recommendations! This is the last of the 3 top lists I have for spring!
