Yuno is a new student at one of the most prestegious art schools in Japan. In fact she feels almost honored to make it. She goes to live at the dorms or rather the school run apartments and finds out that there are stranger things other than her classes, its her classmates. She learns that they are creative, silly and friendly.
I liked this series simply for the reminder that friends can show in the strangest of places including dorms and also in school.
AnimeGhost Stories
***
Satsuki and her brother move to her mother's home town and finds out more than it appears. Her father appears to be attentive and works hard, not to mention he doesn't appear to know much about the mother either. They move in also next door to Hajime whose best friend is interested in ghosts. Soon they find out that ghosts follow Satsuki's family all over the place. So with their plotting demon possessed cat they are out to trap demons and get rid of the evils of the world.
This series is CRACK! Okay, it isn't just the fact that if you do watch it, please watch it in Japanese with English subs, if you watch it in English, you are in for a comedy of a life time. I do enjoy it, but again, its the fact I do like some comedy anime with a lot more to it.

Sotobamura is a small village out in the middle of no where and it is becoming a ghost town, in fact it is hidden and almost completely isolated. Not to mention people are dying of a strange plague that came in the middle of the day when three members of a family are found completely dead and drained of blood. Then Megumi a hyper girl who loves gazing at a European style house on the hill goes missing.
I enjoyed this series it is rather scary and dark, I feel it should deserving of vampire movies and also has a classic feel to it.

*****
Frankie Stien is new to the world, she is in fact only 15 days old, in fact she should be 15 years old. She meets Melody who is a new girl in town who has a new face and new life in their sleepy little town of Salem Oregon where monsters will walk freely among everyone. There is Lala, Cleo, Claudeen, and also a few others who are the same way.
The story is great and its fine and fun romp, wouldn't you want to be a monster too?
MoviesHow to Train your Dragon
*****
Hiccup lives in a village that is plagued with a rather HUGE problem, and that problem DRAGONS! He finds that he wants to kill a dragon, but when he wounds one, he discovers what he was raised with may not even be true.
Okay, I thought, great another kids movie, but sitting there, and I saw humor that was unlike the normal and I started to think that somehow with my love the scaly things, it deserves it place. I love this movie.
