Best Anime of all time & Yellow Yums

I've posted in the past about Anime, I've voiced my opinions on some of them and given a few reviews. For the sake of staying consistent to the theme I'm going to turn this article into a tops list for me, a top 4 of what I consider to be the best Anime of all time not necessarily in any sort of order or anything but simply anime with brief descriptions and explanations of why I love them. Why not? This could be fun!

Yu Yu Hakusho:

Right from the get-go I'm going to state that this is probably my absolute favourite Anime of all time period. Running from 1990 to 1994 the Manga was adapted into an Anime which ran from 1992 to 1995, Yu Yu Hakusho is a fighter Anime which was inspired by the occult, Martial Arts, horror films and an influence of Buddhist mythology.. It's no wonder given the type of person I am and my real life interests that I should find this Anime so appealing.

This really resonated with me, me myself being a Buddhist Martial Artist in real life who follows a very closely Shaolin lifestyle with constant training and bettering of my body, mind and spirit this Anime really spoke to me and while I suggest you watch the original Japanese version if you're going to watch this at all I won't down the English Dub either. This is one of the few series whose dub I can stand and I've actually watched both the original version and the English dub more times than I care to admit or even try to count and continue to watch them through whenever I can find them/whenever they come on to this day. I never tire of this one.

In retrospective consideration this is definitely my favourite Anime of all time.

Dragon Ball:

And we're talking the original Dragon Ball and I suggest again that if you're going to watch this, do it right; watch the original Japanese version.. Not the fucking dub..

The original Dragon Ball is a favourite of mine because of obvious reasons, I enjoyed Dragon Ball far more than I did Z and consider Dragon Ball to be the far superior Anime in spite of others' opinions. Dragon Ball being far more whimsical and based more off Journey to the West ( The story of Sun Wukong who Son Goku is based after as I've mentioned in a past article ) whereas Z kind of just became what was trying to be Superman.. Z comparatively isn't bad but not very good either.. On it's own as a simple fighter Z is okay but Dragon Ball beats it on spirit, story and ultimate feel. I was far more involved in Dragon Ball than I ever was Z.

Outlaw Star:

This one's a bit of an oddity in my favourites all things considering but it's a really good Anime with a really deep story. Again as always I suggest watching the original Japanese as opposed to the dub, you'll find in the case of Anime I consider the original Japanese to be far superior to any dub 9 times out of 10. Sorry, the original voices for the original series just seems to fit for me.. Dubs are done second hand and can't be as good as the original because the voices weren't intended originally for the characters.

I've also as a point posted about this in the past as well.

Rurouni Kenshin:

 Another I probably identify with due to it's Martial Arts ideology is Rurouni Kenshin. This Anime ran from 1996 to 1998.. At least up until the end of the Kyoto Arc (Makoto Shishio) when the Anime starts into the filler it ends on.. I've never seen the filler and refuse to watch it.. I keep hoping they'll re-do the Anime or at least animate the Jinchuu Arc which is the arc following the Kyoto Arc that they never managed to do..

Between the Martial Arts, ideology and romance this is definitely an Anime that runs a wide gamut and is totally worth watching. It's great and very involving.

Dinner:

Mm yeah! Yum yum, take a look at that dinner and tell me it's not good looking! You can't, can you? Noodles, a little Cheese, Soy, Green Beans, Fish and seasoning comes together in this dish to make what I call Kiiro no sakana (Yellow Fish) and I'm extremely proud of it, it's very prettiful! Coupled with a Peanut Butter Anpan (Sweet Roll) I think this dish is really among the top dishes I've made, I just love how good it looks visually.
