One of the most famous manga from Shounen Champion finally receives the anime adaptation.

KyuuShinu is an absurd comedy about a vampire hunter and a vampire that always dies. Their dynamics works well even when they are so different from each other, but they share the stupidity (one brain cell) As the plot follows Ronald and their huntings with Draluc and John (the vampire's armadillo) is a kind of slice of life, but extremely weird. The comedy in this series isn't for everyone and it has some cliches, but I find it funny enough. The art style is amazing, more polish than the manga, the bright ... colours, the aesthetics (see episode 10) and with that I can tell you how beautiful is the opening. Everything is so vivid and funny, I love the fact that Draluc is the one singing the song (Jun Fukuyuma) is the essence of the story. The anime have nice effects in the sound and makes the experience more funny. The ending is cute. John's backstory singing by other two seiyuus who are also characters from the show. The characters are unique on their own: not just their design, but their behaviors, traumas, and goals. Humans and vampires are so diverse and equals at the same time. There are cliches, but what manga/anime doesn't have them? Even the characters themselves know! As I wrote before, comedy is not suitable for everyone for many reasons, but if you can get through the second episode, you are sure enjoy it. The only "but" I have other than the "sexual" jokes or "sexual" content that "it might have" (because it's in a funny way) as a manga reader, is that they changed the order of chapters from the manga. There are so many good ones, but I totally understand why.

Go and watch Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu!!!

I don't get why people didn't like this, it's a seinen, what did you expect?

Unrequited love, slice of life and normal situations. Yesterday wo Utatte is about all these things. People doesn't know what to do with love, because they never experienced before. Relationships are complicated, especially when you are a reserved person (our MC) If you don't change, if you don't step forward, you keep walking in the same circle over and over. I really liked how this topic was treated in the series, apart of the "choice" of who the protagonist would stay with. The characters had complex feelings, some were direct, others ... were serious, but no one wanted to lose the relationship they had built with another person and I found the decisions of each one quite mature, for their own well-being. The development of these characters, plus the appearance of different people in their lives, made them grow and realize what they felt. What they wanted and what they needed (fyi: just quoting a song) until they found a way to be happy, trying not to complicate themselves and not spoiling a friendship relationship (which is quite difficult) Perhaps the teachings didn't stand out enough, this series showed a daily life focused on the search for love and the personal one, which led Uozumi (MC) to dare to new things in life. Something that not all of us dare to do. It was pretty good.

Dr. Kiriko: White Death (Shiroi Shinigami) is the story of Black Jack's rival, Dr. Kiriko Joryjyuu as a doctor who does euthanasia. A very interesting concept that leads to different moral problems and quite realistic in real life (with a fantastic touch and sometimes even reassuring) Many chapters are stand alone stories, but as you proceed, you can understand why of his actions. If you are a fan of Black Jack, you will find that this character is more complex and similar to the renowned surgeon and that he really needs more merit as a doctor or as a character in the Tezuka universe. I ... already mentioned about the stories, but also the main stories have plot twist and remakes of two Black Jack chapters (related with Kiriko) sanorin drawing is wonderful: the expressions, the details, the bodies, the animals, etc. It's a nice drawing, even the backgrounds looks fine. Each character has their motivation "to kill" someone and you can easily hate them or they can make you cry, because it's painfully true. I love this manga, Kiriko totally deserved an own story. I really wish this manga has an English or Spanish licenced because it deserves it. I've read raws for two years (only 22 chapters), but only today I found an English translation of chapter one...
