Enter the World of Anime

Beloved by God and by all, beauty unsurpassed yet how could she fall so far from Grace? Organic Angel Alexial: granted not only power but born one of the highest beings in creation, even she cannot fathom the monstrosity that has slowly festered and grown within Heaven’s gates. Here she seeks rebellion, rebellion against God and rebellion against those who would cover themselves and their wicked ways with lies of justice in the name of God and pure righteousness.
Yes as all know and all would tell, she was doomed to fail and our heroine was trapped in a never ending reincarnation, sentenced to forever birth into a human body and die before maturity by the most grotesque and inhumanly tragic ways possible.
A man: beloved by God and all who set eyes upon him, but cursed to live for one purpose and one set purpose only: to rise as the demon lord of darkness. A tale as old as time but yet, is this really all there is to the story?
This is where we meet our modern day hero, Setsuna Mudo, the most recent reincarnation of the Organic Angel Alexial. A modern high-school student, smart-mouthed and rebellious with the emotional turmoil granted by only that which Alexial can give him: a blooming and forbidden love. Caught between the endless cycles of war between Heaven and Hell, could he be the key to the destruction of the earth? Or will he be the one who will save it all and crawl to Hell and back for the one he loves?
Travel through a world where every aspect of right and wrong are constantly challenged, where characters born of pure evil and creatures of light are twisted and pulled, thrown into a story of chaos where emotions run wild and the next turn of events is never expected. Kaori Yuki weaves a beautiful story with characters you can truely sympathize with and root for until the very end. Filled with intense battles and even more intense love, this is a manga you won’t be able to put down until the end.

Hey there all of you up and coming fashionista’s of Japan! Or at least that seems to be what this weeks topic centers around so why not check out a great anime centering around that same genre? That’s right, I’m talking about Paradise Kiss, a fun and heart-wrenching story about a teenage school girl and her run-in with the world of fashion, modeling and love.
With great poppy and catchy song from singers like Franz Ferdinand and Tommy February6, who couldn’t love this elaborately colored and edge of your seat series? Honestly, after watching just one episode it was nearly impossible to just stop myself there until the entire span of 12 episodes had been unloaded and played through.
Follow Yukari as she slowly begins to break away from the hold of her mother and school life, discovering not only an entire new world but also a new part of herself as she battles with love-interest, notoriously charismatic George, university exams and learning how to balance all of it together with her new self. You won’t help but to laugh and cry along as you discover new things and gain a taste for the fashion industry all in one!
This anime is recommended for ages 15+!

Love anime? Love bright colors and lots of fun? Then you’ve come to the correct place! This week we’re going to focus on one of the many fashion-fun styles of dress in Japan that many would closely relate with anime. If you ever take a stroll down Harajuku street or heck, maybe just any old place, you’re definately more than likely to see people dressed in crazy, fun, springy bright colors with lots of hairbows, jewelry and many layers of clothing.
This style is what we call ‘decora’ in the fashion industry and normally is compossed of bright accessories, matching outfits with super layers and many many bright colors. This is one of the many styles that links to the general ‘GAL’ fashion trend and has a bit more freedom of fruitsy expression.
So how does this apply to what you might want to wear this spring and summer? Easy! This year as we all know, super bright beachy colors are in. Enhanced hot pinks, crazy glitzy blues and blinding lime greens. And let’s not forget the ever popular animal print is taking a turn for zebra. So the next time you plan to go out, why not toss on a cute zebra mini with those capri leggings? And maybe some hot pink flats and a few crazy chunky bracelts and necklace! Decora is all about expression so make it as wild or tame as you want.
