 Flip Flappers Spotlight

The anime flip flappers is about a girl called Cocona who is a "average" high school student, she is followed by another girl called Papika who rides a surfboard hovering device or a hoverboard (which is what a normal person would call it) and has a very weird enthusiastic personality which makes her very likable to most. Later, Cocona is dragged into helping Papika go adventuring in different alternative universes called Pure Illusion; in Pure Illusion Cocona and Papika have to collect fragments so they can make a wish because they are ordered to by a guy called Salt and his scientists. Futhermore, Cocona and Papika find out that they can turn into having a magical girl type ability like they can have incredible power, there hair, appearance is very colourful and can fly but they can only do this when they're together also they have a robot that helps collect and find the fragments

In the later episode everything is "flipped" upside down and everything you thought you knew about this has been all a lie but I won't go into it because it's up to the viewer to discover this. From around midway it kicks up the story and some stuff is revealed that might shock the audience like about her past then she learns about her mother. Near the end, Cocona and Papika have to change the view of the villian so they can see the light; this is premise is not that original and because of this it ended like how it was before which was disappointing but hopefully there will be a season 2 so we can have more adventures. Regardless of the ending the whole anime was great because of the art and I liked the story.

The things I liked about this was the art is pretty amazing in every aspect; it changes depending on the situation, the pacing was average but it had a constant changing story which doesn't make it boring, very likable characters as Paprika is very eccentric and weird in a good way which makes her interactions with Cocona interesting. The only downsides would be it starts off a little slow to get into it and might not keep the viewer interested but trust me it is worth spending time to watch this.

The adventures of the two main female character Cocona and Paprika going into different universers or demensions makes for some bizarre adventures which makes it one of the best adventure anime out there, then there's an addition of an opposing forces trying to stop them and the organisation that Paprika works for to retrieve the fragments but they turn into magical girls to defeat the monsters and opposing forces. Technically this is a magical girl anime but one of the most unique ones I've seen

Nia Teppelin - Thankful for

Nia Teppelin was disowned by Lordgenome and booted in a pod trapped in a barren wasteland until one day she is found by Simon, Nia is thankful for Simon for saving her and inviting her to the Dai-Gurren fleet that she made a lot of friends and comrades; that she thankful for all her friends that Simon introduced her to them.

She is thankful the Dai-Gurren members for finally accepting her after they originally had so much suspicion about her but gave her so much trust to take her in, for also giving her a home, many friends and adventures with the crew with also learning how to cook even though she is isn't good at. She is also thankful at the end of the series for all the memories that she made with everyone and also for defeating her father to stop his tyranny.

Aria The Animation Spotlight

Aria The Animation is a sci-fi slice of life anime that focuses around a pink haired girl called Akari and her cat Aria Pokoteng. Akari lives on a planet called Aqua which was formerly known as Mars, and most of the planet was terraformed into a water biome. She immigrated when she was 15 from her home planet manhole (which was formerly called Earth). Akari has hopes of being a professional undine which is a female tour guide who shows people around the city of Neo Venezia on gondolas with fellow undies Aika, Alicia and her cat Aria; they ensure that citizens and tourists enjoy their stay by showing them the many wonders of the city via the Aria Company. Akari goes on new adventures while working hard towards her dream as she meets new people that are vastly different and enjoys her calming daily life, she learns what it's like to understand people.

Aria The Animation is a calm and relaxing anime, it's something you watch after a hard days work then come home to unwind to it; that's what I think slice of life anime is about and why so many people love it. The soundtrack gives the anime a relaxing feel to it which is accompanied by the soothing visuals and heartwarming story with moe characters makes Aria The Animation a very unique and amazing show; if you're a fan of slice of life, watch this as it's a gem in the rough because it uses sci-fi elements like the concept of futuristic planets, flying bikes and has a fantasy tag which makes the anime expand on its calm tone because that it's cements it place as a good anime for me
