Speed Grapher

Speed Grapher is an anime series created by Gonzo and was later made into a manga by Tomozo. To put it plainly, this anime was kind of boring. I thought it would have so much more going for it. The main character, Tatsumi Saiga (age unknown), was uninteresting and his "power" could have had more thought added to it like the other characters throughout the show.
Also his relationship with the female lead, Kagura Tennōzu (15 years old), left me feeling odd. He looked too old for her and it was a recurring theme throughout the episodes: their huge age difference.
So no, this will not be an anime or manga I will be looking into again in the future.

Genres:  Action, Drama, Romance, Sci-Fi

Summary: 
 Speed Grapher follows the exploits of former war photographer Tatsumi Saiga, who investigates a secret fetish club for the ultra-wealthy called the Roppongi Club. He tries to photograph the club's "goddess," a 15-year-old, exploited girl named Kagura, but is discovered. As he is about to be killed, Kagura kisses him, granting him the ability to destroy anything he photographs. Saiga soon discovers that Kagura's body fluids, like her saliva, in combination with a certain "virus", can give people bizarre abilities relating to their secret desires, fetishes, and obsessions. Club members strive for the honor of becoming "gifted" via Kagura's power. Saiga soon becomes entangled in this secret underground society and the powerful and corrupt Tennōzu Group mega-corporation that operates it. He attempts to free Kagura, a move that puts the two of them on the run from the Tennōzu Group and blood-thirsty members of the club with bizarre and often horrifying special powers.

Ah! My Goddess!

Ah! (Oh!) My Goddess! by Kosuke Fujishima first premiered in 1988 making it twenty four years old however it's a classic. On some levels this manga/anime reminds me of Clamps Wish which I have posted on this blog a while back. Seeing as this series came out first we know who began the idea, no harm to Clamp meant. Nevertheless, Ah! My Goddess has always owned a cozy spot in my heart.

Genres: Romance, Comedy, Adventure, Fantasy, Action
