30 Day Anime Challenge in 1 WEEK.

It's the holidays, and I was feeling ambitious so here goes!(Season 3 of the 30 Day Anime Challenge)
Link → http://www.facebook.com/30DayAnimeChallenge

Day 01. Gintama
Watch an episode of anime about aliens.

A regular day at the beach.

An alternate universe where aliens and humans coexist, where the industrial revolution happened a few centuries too early, and where JUMP is still being published. I bring to you Gintama, the greatest waste of time in the world, yet 100% worth it. When they said alien anime, Dragon Ball Z. But that's in there too.

Other Possibilities: Urusei Yatsura

Day 02. Black Cat
Watch an episode of anime about assassins.

I bring you good tidings.

An anime about assassins?What could be better than a story revolving around an entire organisation of assassins?Perhaps the superstition of bad luck from a black cat crossing your path wasn't completely wrong after all...

Other Possibilities: Noir

Day 03. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
Watch an episode of anime about cyborgs.

No, the big guy's human. It's the little one we're concerned about.

Of course something like Ghost in the Shell would've been highly appropriate, however I did not have a copy of that anywhere nearby so this had to settle. It's a brilliant anime, none quite like it so no one was complaining. By definition, cyborgs are cybernetic organisms where they have both biological and artificial parts. So Ed with his classy automail fits the definition perfectly!

Other Possibilities: Ghost in the Shell

Day 04. Kuroshitsuji
Watch an episode of anime about demons.

Wise choice, my lady.
I believe I need not remind you of what may have happened if you chose foolishly.  

The demon butler (sometimes the demon tutor) and his young master. What more need I say?

Other Possibilities: D. Gray-Man, Chrono Crusade, Inuyasha, Beelzebub

Day 05. Dragon Ball Z
Watch an episode of anime about dragons.

Dear Frieza and Cell. These are fake. Please don't come back to start a war over this picture.

Collect the 7 dragon balls, summon the dragon, make a wish, go look for the dragon balls again. And in between, keep the world from being destroyed time and time again by evil space beings by collecting energy over a span of 5 episodes.

Other Possibilities: Escaflowne

Day 06. Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Watch an episode of anime about magic.

One Contract, One Wish, One Mission.

Don't be fooled by the cute art. This is one dark, dark anime with a brilliant plot. Any more would be a spoiler. If you haven't seen it before because magical girls just isn't your thing, you must give it a try. You may find yourself pleasantly surprised.

Other Possibilities: Cardcaptor Sakura, Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha, Negima!

Day 07. Katanagatari
Watch an episode of anime about martial arts.

The strategist and her sword.

Though we may never see it in real life, the Japanese sword martial arts named Kyotouryuu certainly exists in this particular dimension!

Other Possibilities: History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi

Day 08. You Can(not) Advance
Watch an episode of anime about mechas.


Though strictly speaking, this is a 'movie' however being adapted from the original anime series, I'm sure it can be counted to be an exception.

Other Possibilities: Star Driver, Gundam, Soukou no Strain

Day 09. Nodame Cantabile
Watch an episode of anime about music.


The perfectionist Chiaki who's good at everything he comes across. The cute but slobbish Nodame who has amazing potential as a pianist. Put them together, add a shady conductor, a french otaku, a russian exchange student, random words such as mukya!and gyabou!and beautiful music pieces.

Other Possibilities: La Corda D'oro, Uta no Prince-Sama

Day 10. Naruto Shippuuden
Watch an episode of anime about ninjas.

You were going to watch something else?...

I wanted to watch something less mainstream for this like Nabari no Ou but I didn't have it so this had to settle for this.

Other Possibilities: Nabari no Ou

Day 11. One Piece
Watch an episode of anime about pirates.

The next pirate king.

The only pirate anime that exists in my world 

Other Possibilities: Cowboy Bebop, Black Lagoon

Day 12. Mawaru Penguindrum

Seizon Senryaku!

She demands you to find the Penguindrum with her penguin friends or your sister dies.

Watch an episode of anime about samurai.

Horoo~?

Classic samurai anime. If anyone has not seen it before, something to get onto!

Other Possibilities: Samurai Champloo, Hakuouki, House of Five Leaves

Day 14. Special A
Watch an episode of anime about school.


Other Possibilities: Kaichou wa Maid-Sama!, Kimi ni Todoke, Lovely Complex

Day 15. Soul Eater
Watch an episode of anime about shinigami.


Creating the perfect weapon suitable for the Shinigami to use thus it's still a story about shinigamis.

Space pirates that work for the government 8D.

An anime that will make you realise that a zombie apocalypse isn't the most terrifying thing out there...

Other Possibilities: Shiki, Blood-C, Pet Shop of Horrors, Ghost Hunt

Day 20. Hellsing
Watch an episode of anime about vampires.

Complain once more about fictional vampires and I'll shoot you.

Vampires are overrated... but Hellsing?Hellsing is a whole different story. With none of that romance fluff attached, a true tale of horror featuring dracula and his master.

Other Possibilities: Vampire Knight, Blood+, Vampire Princess Miyu, Trinity Blood

Day 21. CANAAN

Day 24. Shinryaku!Ika Musume
Watch an episode of anime who's main character isn't human.

Geso!

Simply put, she's the evil villain who's not so evil and gets side tracked from her attempts to take over the world. She would also like you to know that she is a squid girl born on earth and is definitely NOT an alien.

Other Possibilities: Otome Youkai Zakuro, Inu x Boku SS, Jigoku Shoujo, Claymore
