Reccomended Animes of 2013

Okay, so there has been tons and TONS of fantastic animes this year...so I figured I'd better go ahead and recommend some.

Attack on Titan

(A terribly cute comic from tumblr)

  I have made an entire post on this wonderfully sad anime. It's basically about a world where humans have built these gigantic walls to protect themselves from these humanoid-things called titans. But then one day, the titans break through the walls. There are tons of twists and turns like (spoilers!) ANNIE AND EREN HAVING THE CAPABILITY TO BE A TITAN AND ANNIE BEING A HUGE DOUCHCANOE, and plenty of gruesome deaths, so you'll never really be bored with the anime. If you do end up being sad because of the show, just go on tumblr and you can find some funny posts from the fandom to make it all better (BETTAH BETTAH BETTAH BETTAH BETTAH YAAAAAAHHH [Hey Jude reference sorry]).

Magi

This anime comes in two series, but I decided to just combine them both because I'm both lazy and it just makes sense to.This anime is all about this boy named Aladdin who turns out to be a Magi, a "Magician that shapes the world". In the first series, he isn't really sure about his past, but because he is accompanied by the Djinn (These super powerful god-like beings) Ugo, he is not so sad. He meets a man names Alibaba Saluja, and the two strike a friendship. Together, they conquer a dungeon. The dungeons are these huge towers that are filled with horrors and controlled by the Djinn living there. If a human manages to get to the center of the dungeon without dying, he or she gains the power of the Djinn living there. The entire anime revolves around the adventures all of Aladdin's friends have, sometimes separate, and sometimes together. It's all quite wonderful.

Kill la Kill 

This anime doesn't really have the best plot, but it is filled with awesome action. It's all about this girl named Ryuko who is trying to avenge her father's death by finding his murderer. Her findings lead her to a city with an academy that controls all with these outfits called Goku uniforms that allow the wearer to posses fantastic power.After being beaten for trying to challenge the top dog, Lady Satsuki, at the academy, she is secretly lead to this uniform called a Kamui that has more power than any other of uniform. She spends much of her time fighting others with Goku uniforms to get closer to figuring out the cause of her father's death.

I don't think I can talk about this anime without going into a frenzy about MAKOTO'S AMAZING ABS AAAGGAGAGAAGAGA, but you really should watch this anime.They isn't much of a plot, and it was kinda cliche, but the ABS MAKE IT WORTH IT!
