5 Anime You Need To Watch Right Now

In This Article:

Your Lie In April

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkdi6eK05OA

A story about coming-of-age, romance, and slowly losing the one you love. A boy in high school picks up the piano again to play with a violinist he meets after years of being forced to play by his abusive mother. He goes through the uphill battle of conflicting emotions as the violinist goes through a battle of her own. This anime made me cry...like A LOT. It made me so sad that after I finished it I went and sat down in the shower. Do you know how sad you have to be to sit down in the shower? Anyways, yes this anime will make you sad, but that doesn't take away how absolutely beautiful this anime is. Either the raw emotions that the characters show or the studio's brilliant use of lighting and sound to set each scene. This anime is just too good.

The Rising of the Shield Hero

A young man is cast into a medieval world after discovery a magical book and only has a shield to protect himself and the world he now knows with, despite being isolated and demonized by the city he was called to protect and the other heroes he was supposed to fight alongside with and seeing how cruel the world can really be. Through his struggle, he finds what it truly means to be a hero. This anime was awesome. I loved the message it portrayed that a hero isn't determined by how many evil things they can rid, but by how many people they can protect, even in a world that looks down upon them for doing what's right. Above all else, this anime has some really intense battle scenes and plot twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. Highly recommend.

A boy who has telepathic powers is sent to a boarding school to help his new group of friends stop those with super powers from abusing them so they won't be taken away by the government to be experimented on. This anime had a lot of highs and lows and some very mind-boggling moments, especially during the latter half when there is a major turning point within our main character. This is basically the Matrix of all anime, and even though the ending makes no sense, it's still worth a watch for the time being.

Zombie Land Saga

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIAjeGTc6z4

Let's be real...this anime is just a giant meme. 7 girls are brought back from the dead to start a pop music group in order to create more publicity for their tiny, struggling town in Japan. Each girl is brought back to life from a different period in Japanese history ranging back to the mid-1800s, which makes an amusing series of events as they not only try to perform on stage, but also adjust to modern life, but as I said it's just a big meme. The anime pokes a lot of fun at other girl group animes, for their over-the-topness (which this anime is totally over the top), but doing so in a fun way minus the cringy moments that it may have. It's pretty funny, trust me.

High School of the Dead

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHD2VFyH4KQ

This anime is the perfect cross between being amazing, but also being a giant. A bunch of high schoolers fight their way through hordes of zombies in hopes of finding shelter. A pretty basic storyline that has been explored many times, but the character development in this anime is almost perfect. These kids (and one teacher) come from all different social groups, but when thrown into a world of kill or be killed they are quick to through away the social roles they assumed in high school in order to do what's best for the sake of surviving as a team. Kind of like a Breakfast Club remix with zombies, but like I said this anime does have it's moments of over-the-top scenes and events adding the comedic aspect to it, which for some people can really make or break an anime. For me personally, it really made it special and it is still one of my favorite animes to this day.

Anyways, I hope that you'll take a gander at what each of these animes has to offer. Whether they've had the best reviews or not, they're still pretty well written in my opinion, and I hope you think so as well.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
