Favorite anime groups

I’m sure many of us have listed our favorite anime characters at some point. But what about favorite groups instead of individual characters? What I mean is favorite groups of characters in a specific series, as in favorite duos, trios, foursomes, etc,. I don’t think lists of favorite anime groups have been done much before, so I decided to give it a go…

Nostalgia: Rewatching Digimon Adventure in Japanese

Back when I first became an anime fan about 10 years ago, I didn’t have cable TV or high-speed Internet, so I was stuck with watching mostly Americanized “kiddy” anime on local channels. Thinking back, many of these series were pretty dispensable. However, Digimon was one of my early favorites that I still enjoy even to this day…

Merry Christmas, from MAY! ^_^


To all my loyal visitors to Mainichi Anime Yume and AnimeYume.com, and to anyone else reading this, have a wonderful, white Christmas and a happy, healthy new year! ^.^ Like some people, I don’t care for the religion aspect of Christmas as I do for everything else; the lights, decorations, music, gifts, warm feeling, etc,. Despite many things keeping me from really having Christmas these past few years, such as lack of time and money, having pretty much no relatives to celebrate with, living where it doesn’t snow, etc., I still can’t help getting a warm and happy feeling when Christmas comes around. Though it’ll never be quite the same as when I was a kid, I don’t think there’ll be a time when my “inner child” doesn’t get at least a little excited on this day =) I once read a quote that sums it up good; “Christmas is not a date, it’s a state of mind.”

Anyway, it’s not much, but I do have a few Xmas-related anime things to offer you guys today…

Digimon Savers: the halfway mark review


I just finished watching episode 25 of Digimon Savers, and even though I’m not exactly sure how many episodes the series is going to have, I’m calling this the halfway mark review since all the other Digimon series’ ended up having about 50 episodes and this one probably will too. Now I’m not a major Digimon fan(Pokemon on the other hand…), but it is one of the first animes I got into back in my early days of anime fandom. I used to watch the dub all the time when it aired on Fox Kids and then I eventually began to watch some of the fansubs. Since then I’ve watched all the episodes of all the Digimon series’, so I decided to stick with that record and watch Digimon Savers as well. But although I like Savers, I honestly think it can’t hold a candle to the old Digimon series’.
