Dimension W https://myanimelist.net/anime/31163/Dimension_W If there was a recent anime that has that 90s type feel to it more akin to stuff like 90s trinity of Bebop, Outlaw Star, and Trigun you have Dimension W. It's a sci-fi action show packed with great music and good use of its CG effects. It should not come to anyone's surprise that Dimension W was quickly picked up by Toonami. It is easily one of the shows that screams in appealing to a western audience and therefore I recommend this to new anime viewers overall. The story is simply that the characters are searching for coils (valuable forms of technology) for their own reasons. The starting episodes are all very disconnected basically they just give you the tone of the anime, but later on they start to pull things together. I will say that they might try to do a little too much in the time it was given. The cast is fairly large but almost none of the characters are actually important. Kyouma gets the majority of the development and most of the story involves him. Mira is another character that has a good deal of focus, but her own personal growth seems outshone by simply the story revelations about her. Regardless together they are a decent duo and the level of depth that Kyouma gets is fairly impressive. Overall I think Dimension W is a good watch. There are various parts in it where I thought to myself "this show could become a classic." After finishing it I don't think it's quite there, but the show is pretty much well above average in almost every aspect for this type of anime. 75. Dagashi Kashi https://myanimelist.net/anime/31636/Dagashi_Kashi "Do you like boobs?" That is the question of the season asked by esteemed dagashi expert, Hotaru Shidare. Of course by boobs she meant a type of snack that kind of looks like a boob. Dagashi Kashi is a comedy anime that revolves around cheap Japanese snacks aka dagashi. When I was a kid I went to a candy shop. I never had a lot of money so I'd get this cheap budget candy from like side shops from various places. Dagashi Kashi is basically a giant commercial for candy. Or a documentary? I don't know, something like that. This is a show I think a lot of people unfairly judge because they can't relate to candy. I understand most of this is heavily cultured based candy but I never thought that was the focus of the show. Like yeah they are used in all of the skits as like part of the punch line, but knowing what the candy is is never important to understanding the significance of what is happening in the scene. I say all that but there is a lot of history about each candy, stuff even I, someone who has gotten to eat a lot of this stuff, only care mildly about. That said the history of it does tie into some of the jokes, but they do a decent job in explaining it so you don't have a reason to be lost. I do admit even if I was a native Japanese person who ate this stuff all the time... I don't think I'd care about it. The "plot" of the show is Hotaru Shidare. She loves dagashi and is crazy, not just about dagashi... just crazy. She is basically a carry for the show and it would be much less enjoyable without her. But the other two characters in Saya and Kokonotsu (Coconuts) are also highly entertaining characters within the confines of this anime. Probably among the most appealing factors is the art style. Turns Hotaru, a character that would probably just be kind of average in other anime into like a reason not to take your eyes off the screen. In any case Dagashi Kashi is a nice comedy that mixes decent laughs with those moments where you question the sanity of the main characters. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:886103683] in Kokoro's t...
