Anime Spotlight #8: Magi

Description:
In a sand-swept land of caravans, brigands and adventurers, legends tell of the ominous dungeon towers that suddenly appeared 14 years ago. It's said that by clearing one of these prisons, you can obtain treasure beyond your wildest dreams, and even form a contract with magical genies of immense power - assuming you make it out alive. In this world, Alibaba is a young rogue who wants nothing more than to get rich by clearing all of the world's dungeons, starting with the nearby tower Amon; Aladdin is a curious young boy with a magical flute and a hidden ability; and Morgiana is a slave who can't escape her chains. As their fates intertwine, the three find themselves wandering the land, battling powerful enemies, and taking a stand against powerful forces that seek to corrupt the weak and innocent.

Reason for Spotlight:
This anime has everything that you need, Magic, Comedy and a good old Adventure. With this Anime, it teaches you a lot, and there is moments where you honestly can't believe it, but if anything becomes to serious, you can count on this Anime to cheer you up. There is something unique about this Anime that I just can't figure out. There is a second season, but I have yet to watch it yet, but I am planning on, because I want too see more of this Anime.

Anime Spotlight #4: Tears to Tiara

Description:
Rhiannon is the fair and gentle daughter of a village chief. Unfortunately for her, she's also exactly the sort of maiden who is needed as a sacrifice to wake the Demon King Arawn from his thousand-year slumber and is soon kidnapped for this very purpose. However, when Arawn is summoned, he decides to spare Rhiannon's life, instead killing her captor and freeing her from mind control. Taken with his kindness, Rhiannon immediately decides to marry the Demon King, making him the new village chief. All of this is bad news for Rhiannon's protective but hot-headed brother Arthur, who must now pledge his knightly service to his new Lord, Arawn. Together the three of them must journey and together they must fight, encountering new friends and new foes along the way.

Reason for Spotlight:
This was an amazing anime although at first a little slow and annoying. This anime is so under-rated.. I have barely or at all ever seen anyone talk about this Anime before, which is sad because I loved the idea of including a certain legendary story in it. This anime needs more love and more attention starting from today. If you liked the anime "Utawarerumono" or "Tsubasa Chronicle" then you may like this.

Anime Spotlight #3: Kiba

Description:

Have you ever been sick and tired of the world we live in? So much, that you've tried any means possible to escape it? Zed shares the same feelings as we all do. In the smog ridden, and sunless world of Calm, people manage to scrape by on the bare minimum. Fed up with living in this hellhole, Zed looks for an outlet to another world. Beating down and smashing every door in his sight, he hopes that if he believes strong enough, his gateway will open -- open to a place beyond his imagination, and where his life will have meaning. After finally being transported to another world full of nature and endless battles, Zed soon comes to realize that his life of purpose has just begun.

Reason for Spotlight:

This anime got me hooked from pretty much the start. Although to start with it's a little slow but it shows huge promises of getting better. I think the reason why I wanted this anime to be on this spotlight was because I think it should have more attention and I feel it's under rated. If you liked anime such as "Bleach", "Mar" and "Shaman King" then you might enjoy this awesome anime.

I think it's pretty obvious why I am spotlighting it, I rated it 5 stars and the AVG. Rating on Anime Planet in my opinion is just too low for what is a really good Anime. If you like anime such as "Fate/Stay Night", "Shining Tears X Wind" and "Tsubasa Chronicle" then you should most certainly should check out this Anime.
