Anime

(By Rodrigo Sandoval Lahut, Published Dec 12, 2024)

I’ve watched a lot of anime over the course of my life. Some of them include Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, One Piece, Naruto, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Hunter x Hunter, Sword Art Online, Fairy Tail, and Jujutsu Kaisen. I have bought crunchyroll about 5 times! I stop paying for the subscription after I’m done watching the show that I like. I will be talking about my favorite ones from the over 20 I’ve watched. 

The first one I will be talking about is the first anime I’ve ever watched, Naruto. This is a 10 season anime about a boy, guided by the spirit demon within him, orphaned Naruto learns to harness his powers as a ninja in this anime adventure series. I know it’s “just a cartoon” in some eyes but to me, it’s a little more than that.

I grew up with learning struggles due to ADHD. I couldn’t focus and I also wasn’t really able to fully engage in class. I started seeing anime advertisements and I thought to myself, “This would be way better than class!”. So I started watching it on Youtube immediately. I found the full series on youtube but, it was in the biggest border I think i’ve ever seen! I stuck through it because I really needed a distraction from the boring classes I was in. This was a snowball effect that lasted about 5 years. I still enjoy watching anime occasionally but, my time is much more valuable now.
