Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai

Not to long ago, I enjoyed an anime that covered the life of a particular boy that had "no friends." This was due to his delinquent-like looks causing misunderstandings. One day, he stumbles upon the secret of a classmate - she has no real friends. The only friend she has is an "air friend" (like air guitar) named Tomo.

Because they have no friends and can't join any clubs, the girl decides to make her own club, the Neighbor Club, under the premise that they can learn to be good neighbors. With this, the stage is set for Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai.

The anime follows Kodaka, the delinquent-looking protagonist, during his life with the Neighbor Club. Originally, it starts off with just him and Yozora but over time, more members join hoping to learn how to make friends. The concept of the anime is pretty fun and strange (seeing as how they joined a club to learn how to make friends, and end up gaining them in the process without so much as realizing it).

Anyway, the first season of the anime ran some time ago, but currently the second season has aired a few episodes. So far, since the beginning of the series, there have been a lot of laughs and great moments, so all in all, it is a fun anime to get into. Unfortunately this anime is not on Crunchyroll, but it is on Hulu, so if you're interested, do check it out.

Happy New Year

Out with the old and in with the new...As 2012 comes to a close and 2013 begins, I look back at what a hell 2012 has been.

There were many times in the past year when I wondered just what did I do to have all kinds of misfortunes happen to me and my family. I can safely say that 2012 was definitely among the worst years I've lived through.

Still, 2012 did not pass without some good memories or blessings. I did get to meet one of the celebrities I had wanted to meet for a long while, Asakawa Yuu. I got to watch my new favorite anime Sword Art Online and read the light novels. Then there's things like being able to have a job and a roof over my head. Those are always blessings.

I'm a little scared to think of what will happen in 2013, much of the issues I had with 2012 are still not resolved. This makes me shudder in thinking of what might happen in the coming year. It is my hope that the fates may smile upon me and grant me good fortune this coming year.

And to all of you, I have much hope that 2012 did not treat any of you too harshly, and that 2013 will be a much better year than 2012. So to everyone of you, may you have a Happy New Year.
