Embracing The Otaku Life: My Anime List For This Year

Hey there, fellow anime enthusiasts! It’s me again, back with a new obsession—Crunchyroll! After years of neglecting my inner anime geek, I’ve finally caved and signed up for the ultimate streaming platform. Let’s just say, my to-watch list is longer than my tolerance for bad Wi-Fi days.

Attack on Titan: The Epic I Missed

First up on my anime renaissance is Attack on Titan. Yeah, I know, I’m fashionably late to the Titan-slaying party, but better late than never, right? I’ve heard so much hype about this series, and I’m ready to see what all the colossal fuss is about.

Dragon Ball: A Blast from the Past

Who didn’t grow up watching Dragon Ball? As a kid, I’d sneak in episodes whenever I could, dodging chores to catch Goku’s latest power-up. Now, I’m diving back into the saga, reliving the glory days of intense battles and even more intense hairdos.

Sailor Moon Crystal: Moon Prism Power, Make Up!

I was obsessed with the original Sailor Moon as a kid. I was probably the first anime I saw as a kid, and I would often try to draw Sailor Moon with her iconic hair. Now, Sailor Moon Crystal promises a fresh take on the magical girl squad I adored. Moon Prism Power, make up—because even snarky bloggers need a dose of girl power nostalgia.

One Punch Man: Saitama’s Superhero Satire

Imagine having the power to defeat any opponent with a single punch. Sounds like a dream, right? One Punch Man flips superhero tropes on their spandex-clad heads, and I’m here for Saitama’s deadpan journey through a world of over-the-top villains.

Sword Art Online: Virtual Reality, Real Drama

Virtual reality MMORPGs with life-and-death consequences? Count me in. Sword Art Online promises high-stakes drama and epic battles in a digital realm where anything is possible—and everything is at risk. Ready, player one?

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Mecha Madness Revived

In high school, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing was my gateway into the world of mecha anime. Now, I’m strapping in for epic battles between giant robots and philosophical musings about war. It’s a nostalgia trip with a metallic twist.

Hellsing: Abridged, But Not Forgotten

I’ve dabbled in Hellsing Abridged for laughs, but now it’s time for the full-blooded experience. This dark fantasy promises vampires, ghouls, and enough blood to make a horror movie blush. Bring on the Gothic vibes and Alucard’s badassery.

Afro Samurai: Samurai Swagger

Samurai action with a hip-hop twist? Afro Samurai blends traditional swordplay with modern beats, starring Samuel L. Jackson’s smooth vocals as the titular hero. It’s a stylish journey through a world where honor and vengeance collide.

Akira: Cyberpunk Classic

Time to delve into cyberpunk brilliance with Akira. This landmark anime film is a visual feast of dystopian futures, psychic powers, and motorbike chases through neon-lit streets. It’s a must-watch for any self-respecting anime aficionado.


As I embark on my Crunchyroll adventure, I’m thrilled to reconnect with old favorites and discover new anime gems. From titan battles to mecha wars and magical transformations, Crunchyroll has become my gateway to a universe of animated wonders. Maybe I’ll dabble in more shows when time permits?

Stay snarky and anime-obsessed,

~ Rita 🖤
