Reading manga is probably my favorite hobby and it originally stemmed from my love of anime, however, as the "
moe"- fad began to over shadow anime more and more, I came to distance myself from watching anime little by little, until it was several years since I had seriously followed a particular show. The past year or two, I have ventured back in to the realm of Japanese animation to watch shows like
Chuunibyo Demo Koi ga Shitai! and
Maoyuu, but the shows had to have a particular slant that I found interesting to draw me in- I was hyper critical about the anime I watched and easily dismissive of shows that I thought had
too much "moe."
This attitude has changed over the past month or so following the release of
Studio Trigger's new series,
Kill la Kill, which has essentially brought me back to watching anime on a regular basis. It was my joy to find that since I had been away, the production house behind
Chuunibyo,
Kyoto Animation, had created a hefty backlog of shows for me to watch; one of them being the slice-of-life/ mystery series,
Hyouka.
