Boxing enthusiast will have fun watching this anime. Hajime no Ippo focuses on the quest of its main character, Ippo, who is a very humble student who packs a huge punch. We see his transformation as he applies himself in life and in his boxing training.

The shows progression is good for the boxers Ippo, his friends and his opponents get stronger and all of the characters develop not just in boxing also in their personality. The show uses the routine of a boxer, training, fighting, and reflecting for each of the matches that Ippo and his friends fight in.

While the animation and character design could put down the show, it strengthen the shows appeal by making almost every episode action packed. Also the show keeps a good pacing of events. Additionally the show is not a serious one, it is full of comedy as Ippo goes through normal life.

Monkey D. Luffy. A boy with a huge aspiration to become the Pirate King. Luffy has eaten the “devil’s fruit” which is known to give mystical powers or oddities in his case, a rubbery body.

The series follows Luffy on his journeys toward his ambitious goal as he meets new people and crew mates on the way some becoming friends some mortal rivals to the title. With so many characters in the series, it gives everyone a favorite due to their unique personal looks and humorously funny personalities.

The animation is maybe out of date but it is over shadowed by the amount of fighting and the good spirited funny scenes.

Honey and Clover is an interesting anime combining the genres, slice of life, romance and comedy. It started off predictably enough with an introduction to all the main characters. You might think that this is another run-of-the-mill love story in school type of anime, but it differentiates a lot due to the fact that this anime specifies the type of school they have, an art school.

Story-wise, there is a nice, slow build up even though at times it felt like it was going nowhere. It has a very strong plot and a story line that won’t leave you confused.
Characters are multi-layered and enjoyable to watch. They all have a serious and humorous side.

Margaret played by Sandra Bullock, known as the “Witch” for she terrorizes her underlings, fires the man who was taking her job and orders Andrew [Ryan Reynolds] her assistant to marry her. This movie start out with a couple hating each other and ending up liking one another.

This all started when Margaret a Canadian, in danger of being deported out of the country, figures she can get her green card if she married. But slowly as the movie progress Margaret and Andrew will start to warm up to each other.

Bullock’s portrayal of an office witch is not like Meryll Streep’s character in the “The Devil Wears Prada”. She’s a tad brighter character than that.

The Proposal recycles a plot and story that is already old, but it’s different take on it makes it a fun movie to watch.

A comedic movie more on wit than stupidity. The movie starts with Boris Yellnikov played by Larry David addresses the camera to begin his narrative, in a New York street in plain view of other people. Boris’ friends think he has lost it and that he is crazy, especially when he said that they are in a movie with thousands of people watching.

Boris goes out of the way to present himself as a nasty-type of person, showing little patience, cursing children, and insulting individuals who cross his path.

As Woody Allen on the reigns as director, this is a movie to watch.
