Anime Recommendation #6: If you like The Ancient Magus' Bride you might like...

If you liked The Ancient Magus' Bride:


Chise Hitori was a child nobody wanted. Told by her own mother that she should never have been born and passed from one neglectful guardian to the next, the young girl has grown up feeling lost, hopeless and emotionally numb. At age fifteen she sells herself into slavery, desperate for a home where somebody- anybody- actually wants her to be there, and is purchased by a mysterious being with a skull for a head. He whisks Chise off to his home in England and introduces her to a world of talking animals, dragons and faeries, declaring that she is to become his apprentice in magic... and also his bride!





You might like Snow White with the Red Hair:


Shirayuki is a spunky pharmacist with bright, apple-red hair unlike anything anyone has ever seen. Even the prince of the kingdom she lives in is entranced by her locks, and demands that she become his concubine. Not wanting to be viewed as an object prized purely for its novelty, Shirayuki flees civilization and heads towards the forest. Here, the girl meets the charming Zen, who rescues her from Prince Raji's clutches and reveals that he is a prince as well. The two become close friends, and Shirayuki decides to return to Zen's castle with him, to pursue her dreams. But becoming a palace pharmacist isn't easy, especially since her unusual hair color and close relationship with the prince tend to draw unwanted attention...

Anime Recommendation #5: If you like Ouran High School Host Club you might like...

If you liked Ouran High School Host Club:


Ouran High is a school for the extremely wealthy or, in Haruhi's case, the extremely talented. But no amount of talent will help when Haruhi accidentally drops an eight million yen vase in a music room. The vase was the property of Ouran High School Host Club, a group of attractive young men who, for a fee, provide their time and affections for their lovesick clientele: the female students. Fascinated by this strange new specimen, a poor and clumsy commoner, they force Haruhi to work for them until the debt is repaid; but they get a lot more than they bargained for...




You might like Kaichou wa Maid-sama!:


President of the Student Council at the almost-all-boys Seika High School, the hard-as-nails Misaki Ayuzawa works every day to make life easier on the small population of co-eds who have enrolled there. Though an unholy terror to all things male during school hours, in order to provide for her impoverished family, she secretly works after school at a maid cafe in Akihabara. However, when campus hottie Usui Takumi wanders into the restaurant during her shift, suddenly she finds her reputation in school at his mercy...





Reasons/Similarities:

  • Main girl in a unique situation; one in a mainly all boy school and one in a school for the riches
  • Main girl not wealthy 
  • Main girl is strong willed; one mainly in strength and one mainly in brains
  • School life
  • Romance 
  • Comedy
  • Shoujo
  • Catchy Opening song
  • Both have 26 Episodes
  • Based on a Manga

Top 5 Anime Opening Songs of Winter (2020)


I can not believe it's already 2020 and a new year of Anime has arrived. With a new year of Anime; comes with new music.

Well here we go; my Top 5 opening songs and my honourable mention. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Honourable Mention #1:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
#5
The case files of Jeweler Richard 
Opening 1 - Houseki no Umareru toki by Nagi Yanagi

------------------------------------------------------
I had around 9 opening songs to cut down to 6, which meant cutting 3 opening songs out of the running. I didn't hate any opening songs that I know but I did have to remove some. It was hard but now I am happy with my list. There was no way I wasn't going to put Black Clover where I have.


I will be back with a new post soon.

Anime Recommendation #4: If you like Kuroko's Basketball you might like...

If you liked Kuroko's Basketball:

They were known as the 'Generation of Miracles' – five basketball prodigies who helped lead Teiko Middle School's basketball team to glory, defeating anyone who got in their way. But a mysterious rumor tells of a sixth, a phantom player who the five prodigies respected greatly. That boy is Tetsuya Kuroko, a freshman at Seirin High and the newest member of the basketball club. Alongside strong teammates such as Taiga Kagami, Kuroko will use his unique skills on the court to help the team defeat old rivals and make their way to the championships.






You might like Haikyuu!!:

Shouyou Hinata began playing volleyball after seeing the "little giant" who played the sport when he was in elementary school. He suffers a crushing defeat in his first and last tournament in middle school at the hands of his rival Tobio Kageyama. So, Hinata joins Karasuno High School's volleyball team, vowing revenge against Kageyama. However, Kageyama is also on Karasuno's team. The former rivals form a legendary combo with Hinata's mobility and Kageyama's precision ball-handling. Together, they take on the local tournaments and vow to meet Karasuno's fated rival school in the nationals.





Reasons/Similarities:

  • Shounen
  • Production I.G Studio
  • Sport 
  • Mainly males
  • Tournaments 
  • School Club
  • Tense moments
  • Little comedy 
  • Main guy being underestimated because of height or body size
PS. I could have did the recommendation anyway at all, as one has been watched more and one is rated higher on Anime Planet. Both Anime are well loved and watched and if you like one, you will like the other. I did it this order, as Kuroko's Basketball came out first.
