Anime Series Brief Reviews (Part 5)

Fall 2014 anime series that I watched:

- Mushishi Zoku Shou 2nd season

This is the second season of Mushishi Zoku Shou (see my review for Mushishi Zoku Shou 1st season here). The story continues with Ginko's adventure and his encounters with different mushi. Each encounter is meaningful and provide insights about life, relationships, and human nature. The art is beautiful and provides a calming yet sometimes dark atmosphere.
Rating: 8.5/10


- The Legend of Korra (season 4)

Book 4 is the last season of the Legend of Korra. A well paced season with lots of action and even some mecha. The characters are also enjoyable to watch. Overall, the Legend of Korra is a fun series with plenty of action and clever dialogues.

Rating: 9/10 overall (Book 1 to Book 4)
Year released: 2012-2014 (Book 1 to Book 4)

Winter 2014 anime series that I watched:

- Noragami

A very captivating story about gods, their Shinki (wandering spirits named by a god and can be used as a weapon to fight phantoms), and a human girl who is able to leave her body in soul form. Noragami balances nicely between comedy and the development of a serious dark plot. It also explores many themes such as friendship, trust, teamwork, and overcoming temptations. The characters are well developed and likeable. Sometimes, it may be frustrating to watch Yukine, but it's all part of his growth. The art and animation are also amazing. A highly recommended anime for sure!
