I beat Strider (NES) without dying! I owned and beat this as a kid but never without dying so that feels good. Though it's really not that difficult of a game if you can get past the wonky jump mechanics. It's so easy to get stuck to a wall, to bump your head mid-jump on a platform that doesn't even exist, or to not even jump when you press the button. Seriously, what the heck is up with the programming in this game? The messed up jump physics, the garbage sprites at the top & bottom of the screen, the pauses whenever a person you can talk to comes on screen, rarely having more than one enemy on screen at a time... it feels like a beta version. Still fun, though.

I beat The Battle of Olympus (NES) without dying! I had never played this before but people were comparing it to Zelda II which I love so I gave it a shot. I personally enjoyed playing Zelda II more. It could just be because I owned that as a kid, but in this one you don't get magic spells, the up-stab/down-stab techniques, or experience points to increase your levels. You just get a few upgrades here and there, and some only if you can afford them which means grinding for currency. There's also hardly anywhere to refill your heath so you end up grinding for that as well. Plus, I found it so easy to get lost without having an overworld map to help me navigate to various locations. This game didn't grab me from the get-go, but once I played it enough that I understood where to go I found it much more enjoyable. I actually played it so much that I realized I could skip an entire area!

What is Anime?
Anime (アニメ) is, in the simplest term, animation from Japan. As you can imagine, this covers a whole heck of a lot of varying artistic styles, many of which differ quite drastically, yet the common thread through it all is exaggeration. Characters having large eyes or exuberant unnaturally colored hair are often the first features to stand out for a person new to anime, but there are also techniques such as colored lines or icons drawn over faces to indicate specific emotions or temporary physical deformations such as flattening a face when a character is struck hard or turning them into a "chibi", which is a short, super-cute version of the character with a really large head and small body.
Anime is produced in three basic forms, on television, as Original Video Animations (OVA), and as full length feature films. Of these three mediums, movies typically have the best art and animation, as they have more development time and a larger budget, whereas television anime has more time to delve deep into a story and develop the characters. Unlike a lot of Western cartoon where plots are created and concluded in a single episode, television anime tends to have stories that span across the entire season, making it important to watch the show in order and hopefully not miss any episodes!
Anime isn't just for kids or sci-fi and fantasy geeks either, as it spans every type of genre imaginable. Some are made for young children, where others are strictly for adults only. No matter who you are, there is sure to be anime out there that melds with your desires, so please don't be turned off to anime as a whole if you happen to come across one or two series that you didn't care for. Try a different genre, or a different animation studio, because once you find that one show that emotionally touches you like no other before it, you will be hooked! So go find that anime, and experience the wonder of Japanese Animation!
