2018 Anime Recommendations
2018 was a great year for anime Release, not one of my favorite years, but it was definitely a year with a memorable amount of debuts. From Winter Seasons to Fall Seasons, we had our share of the bads, an the goods. After compelling a list of 50 anime, I managed to break down a recommendation list of 33 anime I highly want to recommend. From all types of genre’s, let’s recap what 2018 brought us in terms of anime. Side Note: I’m leaving mainstreams like Boruto, DBZ Super, Etc. And anything from Fall 2017 out of the list. Which knocks out quite a few the collection, but I want to keep it strictly started on the Winter Season 2018.

Top 3 Weekly Anime & Games
One of the best remakes I had the pleasure to complete. This horror survivor game features Lean, and Claire, who have to escape Raccoon City whose been transformed into Zombies. From exploration, puzzles, and combat, with the main difference being the branching paths with unique storylines.
I highly recommend this game if your a fan of hack and slash games. You follow Dante, Nero, an a new hero name V. The plot follows 5 years after DMC 4, as they attempt to stop the demon Urizen. Nero follows Dante foot steps, an set up his own demon hunting agency. Also encounter my favorite character Vergil, who was revived. The story includes an intense lore story.
The same people who produced Kanon, Air, and Clannad also produce Angel Beats! Following the afterlife of Otonashi, a boy who lost his memories after dying. A bunch of high schoolers stuck in limbo. Yuri Nakamura, created a group to fight against God. Just like the predecessors the story becomes a tearjerker. The story becomes extremely emotional, all the way up until the end.
