Hey fellow Otakus! Otaku-kun here! So this is a collab with the astonishingly beautiful Makka the Amerikan! If you don’t know her, I highly suggest you go watch her videos. She’s really a wonderful person, and she does a lot of musical covers, along with Otaku Lessons for those who are new to the Otaku Community. I’m linking her video below, feel free to watch it on my channel, or go find her on Youtube and watch her videos. *Note that this is based off of our own personal opinions, and you’re free to agree/disagree & comment what you like or would add to your own lists! “OTAKU-KUN WRAP IT UP!” O.O I better hurry… Halloween specials, at least every one of our favorite shows in America has one of these. However, anime is a bit different. Anime usually focuses more on Valentine’s Day/ White Day, and Christmas. Lucky for you though, I searched through almost all of the anime in which I’ve seen in my lifetime (which took a while) and composed a list just for you. So, let’s get to it. Number Five: Hetalia: The World Twinkle Halloween Special Okay, so this is at number five for a few reasons, one being that Hetalia episodes are only like 12 minutes long, and secondly because… I put it there, deal with it. So for those unfamiliar to what Hetalia is, it is an anime revolving around countries. Each character is given a name of a country like America, Germany, Belgium, Japan, etc. and they basically embody that country. It’s fairly cute and extremely full of stereotyping to make it extra funny. So this episode surrounds the characters at a Halloween Party. So of course everyone is in the spirit in costumes, even France (Who may or may not have made a comment about dueling in bed). Haha, so this is obviously on the non-threatening, no-jumpscare, slightly kawaii side of Halloween. Number Four-- Hyouka (Episode Fourteen) Yes, yes, I ranked this a four. Overall the anime is very cutesy, and at sometimes utterly confusing. So the reason why, once again, this is ranked at a four is because Halloween is only lightly touched discussed or shown in the episode. However, there’s no way I could not add this to the list when two girls have pumpkins on their head and a fake gun in one of their hands singing, “Trick or treat, yay!” Number Three-- Bleach (Episode 304) Alright, so I’m sure many of you have heard of Bleach, but if you haven’t I just suggest typing “Bleach” into the search bar, because I have like ten minutes before I have to bolt for a Halloween partayyyyyy (< Remind me to never EVER say that again). To simplify, Bleach is about a young teenage boy who obtains the power of a soul reaper and spends way too many episodes learning how to control these powers and protect those he cares for. So in this episode, is overall funny for the viewers. We’re so used to the characters at this point that we know their personalities inside and out, and suddenly they’re stereotypical Halloween characters like Frankenstein and a succubus! I mean in all honesty it doesn’t get any weirder than this, or does it? Only one way to find out… Number Two -- Ouran High School Host Club Halloween Special OHSHC, Ouran High School Host Club, a big favorite within the Otaku Community. Basically boys with too much time on their hands entertain girls with way too much time on their hands, meanwhile a girl cosplaying as a guy dreams about fancy tuna and scares everyone away with her ‘commoner’s coffee.’ That was an exaggeration, but it is a super cute anime I highly suggest. So basically they turn the school into a haunted house, and low and behold a few situations happen where some people are scared to their wits-end and others are having a bit too much fun. Plus, we get a fun scenario between our protagonist Haruhi, and the twins. *laughs evilly with a smirk on their face and regrets nothing* Number One—Cowboy Bebop – Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door Okay, So I’ll admit, that I’m just starting to get into Cowboy Bebop, and have only seen a few episodes. *Gomennasai* But, this quickly earned it’s ranking for a few simple reasons.
Well, thank you guys for reading and happy Halloween! -Otaku-kun, the Vampire.

Hey guys,
I know I’m really getting bad at updating. Haha, but I just figured out how to fix it all. To fix my load, I’m cutting back a bit on this site. That doesn’t mean I’m not updating, nor not updating often, it just means I’m taking a new creative stand point. Rather than going in depth over each episode, and risking spilling a ton of spoilers, I am going to do a first impressions post then a last impressions post going over my final thoughts. Thank you all for sticking around and helping me figure out all this. It’s truly been a rollercoaster, and I’m enjoying every twist and turn and surprises that lie up ahead. Thanks once again, Otaku-kun |
