Miaka Yuki (Fushigi Yugi) and Miyu Yamano (Vampire Princess Miyu) Think of Miyu as the dark and more serious Miaka. Just as pretty, but a little more mysterious.

Everyone can agree that anime characters whether they are male or female are definitely beautiful.
Regards of their beauty there seem to be many characters that look quite similar to one another. I'm sure many of you have seen some of these pairings and if not you can all learn about some new gorgeous characters.
Note: Some pairings may not be from animes. Also in no way am I demeaning anime characters. I just thought it was cool how these characters have such strikingly similar appearances.

Anyways hope everyone enjoy! I will do another with male characters soon.
Miharu Sena Kanaka (Girls Bravo) and Yuna Miyama (Maburaho): Both are cute pinked haired magical girls (one an alien and the other a wizard).

Re-L Mayer (Ergo Proxy) and Amy Lee: Wow! This one is amazing. The resemblance is astonishing since its pretty rare for anime characters to look like real life people.

Kikyo, Rei Hino, and Kagome Higurashi: Don't they look like they could be sisters? All three of them are priestesses and have dark hair and eyes.

Haruka Suzumiya (Rumbling Hearts) and Sakura Kinomoto (Cardcaptor Sakura) The only difference in appearance for these two are their hair colors. Other than that they look almost identical.

Eve (Black Cat) and Yami (To Love Ru) For these two I actually thought it was the same character. The resemblance is so striking. Twins doesn't even come close to describing the similarities probably clones is the better word.

Code Geass has various characters of both genders. Since I did a list of my top 5 favorite Code Geass guys it's time for the list of my top 5 favorite Code Geass guys.

5. Prince Schneizel

Schneizel is 1 of the villains of the show. He was a charming, but menacing person. He was a clever and cool villain. 1 of the most dangerous characters of the show.

4. Kaname

Kaname Ohgi had a major role in Zero's gang. Although various people dislike Kaname I thought he was a interesting and cool character. I really like his storyline with Villetta.

Suzaku is 1 of the show's main characters. He...

Funimation is one of the more well known dubbing companies.
I'm sorry... but I have to get this off of my chest.

Anyone who is familiar with me will know that, when it comes to anime shows, I always watch the english dub. I only watch anime with subs if the anime hasn't been dubbed yet (which is usually the case for most of the anime I watch) or has been dubbed by a company I don't trust (I'm looking at you, Ocean Productions).

However, it seems that according to the fans of anime, watching english dubs is a sin against god. They think that the english language is terrible and would prefer the japanese language. Honestly, this makes me sick. It makes...

You are my friend
aah, you still remeber the dream we had that day don't you
you are my dream
aah, we'd just gotten started you are my long lost friend
whoa, it's time to get moving!

Everyday lit up by moving the shine ahead,
i wanna see you, it lights my soul on fire
but now, we've bid farewell to those fun days
to be the furture, i'll try to take over, and that's why i will dream on!

I'll go the distance!
gazing at the sky so full
i'm just starting
i'll use my greatest power, full tilt!

You are my friend
aah, you still remeber the dream we had that day don't you
you are my dream

This year's 35th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is revealing on Monday that the next game inspired by Tite Kubo's Bleach manga will be for the LINE social media and messaging app. The game, titled Bleach: Paradise Lost, is slated to launch for iOS and Android devices this year.

The "Bankai 3D tag role-playing game" will be free-to-play with in-app purchases. In the game, players will become Shinigami (Soul Reapers) to protect the real world from Hollows. The game will use GPS location data to allow players to defend their own neighborhoods from Hollows.

Castle in the Sky is a Studio Ghibli film. It was directed by Hayo Miyazaki. This review is about wether or not the film is worth checking out.

The Plot:

Sheeta is a young girl. She meets a young guy named Pazu. Pazu helps Sheeta, because Sheeta is being chased by a villainous colonel and some pirates. However the colonel gets Sheeta. Because of this Pazu decides to become allies with the pirates. The pirates turn out to not be as villainous as they seemed to be so it's up to Pazu, Sheeta, and the pirates to stop the colonel.

Castle in the Sky is more action packed than most if not all Studio...

That is the worst movie I've ever seen! I went to the theaters to look at it, oh my gosh, what a pain! And I used to like it when I was younger.

Cream the Rabbit and Amy Rose are better! Chihiro needs to get hit by a spoon, pranked and punched or something.... that is the worst character I've ever seen in my life! She's always crouched down, crying, unable to assert or even be strong in the beginning and it was her own fault for wandering off like a weirdo in the first place in a strange town! She's too passive and she's always crying!

I'm spreading hate and ranting about these anime... I want to get them out of my mind but I can't. So, that's where I start making funny, childish complaints!

100 Rules of Anime

The laws of Anime is a growing list of physical, universal, and natural phenomenon that seem to appear in various forms in all sorts of anime. The original intent was an effort to classify these incidents into a list of "laws" that explained how Anime physics are different from our own (real?) world. It is our hope that you find them useful to studying Anime, or at the very least, worth good chuckle.

#1 - Law of Metaphysical Irregularity- The normal laws of physics do not apply.

#2 - Law of Differential Gravitation- Whenever someone or something jumps, is

When it comes to anime, especially those involving the undead, there's not really a whole lot that involve zombies. Sure, there's Corpse Princess, but the "zombies" in that show are more like demons... which makes High School of the Dead truly one of a kind in the horror anime department.

What do you get when you take a George A. Romero zombie movie like Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead, combine it with an ecchi/harem anime such as Love Hina, and throw in a few elements from Splatterhouse and Dead Rising? You get High School of the Dead, a 12-episode anime series based on the manga...

Gerard Walker



Gerard is Takumi's older half-brother, a successful businessman who bears a resemblance to Usui, save the difference in their hair colour. He and Usui do not appear to be on good terms, possibly because Usui is an illegitimate child; however, he expresses an interest in Usui's activities in Japan and arranges for his bodyguard Cedric to spy on his brother. His talents appear to be the polar opposite of Usui's, which includes being unskilled at cooking. Though he appears devious and calculating, he is strangely jovial and enjoys teasing Cedric, similar to how Usui makes fun of his acquaintances. It is hinted that Gerard is extremely sick with an unknown illness.
