Kimi Ni Tokode (From Me to You)

Oh I love this anime so much, in fact I've watched it twice and have plans of watching it a third time. The story revolves around a shy but sweet girl name Sawako, who due to her long black hair and introvert personality is shunned by all the other students in her class. She desperately tries to make friends but always comes across as creepy. Her life changes when she meets a boy name Kazehaya who is the first person to acknowledge her and her efforts. This anime runs at 38 episodes and is well worth the watch. This anime has great pacing, comedy and very sweet moments between all the characters. It's very good trust me

Next we have a movie named 5 cm per second, what can I say about this movie other than that it's fantastic . Sad yes, beautiful  of course,  dull, never. I've watched this movie every year for 5 years in a row. That says a lot about a movie, but this movie can speak for itself and it speaks volumes in term of quality. The story revolves around two individuals who grow up as very close friends and separate as they get older. The emotional struggles the characters go through are very realistic and the backgrounds drawn in this movie almost seem as if they were ripped out of real life in some scenes. Seriously Makoto shinkai is a master when it comes to drawing  backgrounds, and his recurring theme of lost and distant love is strong in this film. So if you're in the mood for a story that's not your typical love story watch this film

Alright now if you want to talk about hidden gems, this is one of them. Over shadowed by the increasingly popular anime Parasyte The Maxim, and Tokyo Ghoul . Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (Your Lie in April) Premiered in fall of 2014. It is still ongoing and is scheduled for 22 episodes, so I cannot give a full review of it yet, but what I can say is that, THIS ANIME IS AMAZING. Seriously the art, the story, the characters, the music is all spot on.  The story revolves around  Kosei Arima a prodigy pianist who has a mental breakdown after the death of his mother. He is no longer able to hear the sound of the piano and the notes he plays. He later meets a girl named Kaori Miyazono who is a free spirited violinist that brings Kosei back into the world of music and teaches him how to play the way he used to, or even better.  This is a prime example of why anime should be considered art, each person can relate to one of its many themes. This is truly a hidden gem in the world of anime.

let your senses have a taste
