Top 10 Favorite Stories!

My reading is mostly non fiction so except mostly tv and movies.

    1. 20th Century Boys

    One of, if not my favourite manga. They made a film, faithful to the manga so if manga isn't your thing check out the film.

    The story is about Kenji and his friends. When younger they created a book about how they'd save the world. Older they start seeing their old stories coming true and it's up to them to become the hero's they use to pretend to be.

    I like this because I never knew what was going to happen next. I was also fascinated how the evil character grew and was able to fool everyone along the way. I won't spoil anything, but highly recommended.

    2. Welcome to the NHK

    An anime.

    The story is about a hikikomori (spelling may be wrong.) a man who locks himself in his house and only leaves for essentials. He's convinced of a conspiracy that has designed the world around him to torture him so much that his only option is to stay at home , the only safe place. What's good is that this is all in his head. It's the story of how someone copes with depression. He makes friends and helps others, with the real problems much worse than his. It's something I like to watch yearly, to help remind myself not to let depressed get the best of me. If you're feeling down, or just want to feel better I highly recommend this short anime

    3. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

    Film

    I love this. The message 'be excellent to each other and party on dudes' has stuck with me ever since first watching it and I can't think of any other film that has served as a phylosophy for my own life. The story is about two boys travelling through time in order to collect historical figures to help them complete there history report. These guys are idiots, yet there's something respectful about them that I admire.

    I'm not a fan of the sequals as much, but this one will always hold a special place in my heart.

    4. Ghost of Tsushima

    A game

    I can't think of any other game that I was so emersed in. The story of a samurai saving his uncle /Island from the Mongols. I completed all the side quests just so I could get more emersed in the wider story. Highly recommended playing.

    5. Death Note

    Manga/anime/films

    A story unlike any other I've come across. Good vs bad, but one where you question what side is right.

    Light finds a magic notebook. One of which kills whoevers name you write in it. Light uses this to kill evil people, but a detective feels he has no right to judge others and so puts together a team to track down the killer. A game of cat and mouse each side getting closer to the truth only to be spoiled by the other sides smart thinking. Highly recommended.

    6. Jo Jo Rabbit

    A German child has an imaginary friend, Hitler. What happens after he finds a jew hiding in his house?

    This is amazing. Funny, heart warming, sad. A roller-coaster of emotions. I don't want to say too much, just watch, you'll love it.

    7. Spiderman 2

    No superheroe film has matched how I felt watching this film. Was it due to me being a child, maybe, but even now as corny as some parts are there's real character development. Each choice has consequences. This is what a superhero film should be.

    8. The good place

    What does it mean to be a good person? How good do you need to be to get to 'the good place'?

    This story takes place in heaven. Only the best end up here, but a mistake was made and our main character has took the place of someone else. What would a good person do?

    I love how this show makes you question your own morals every episode. I ended up smarter as a result of watching a comedy, amazing feat. Highly recommended this show.

    9. Chuck

    It's not the greatest story, but it's still one of my favourite TV shows. I love rewatching this cheesy action comedy and sometimes that's all you want more often than not that's what I want. As a result I'm going to consider it one of the best.

    Chuck gets all the government secrets trapped inside his head. As a result the cia, fbi and the bad guys are all after him in order to get these secrets. This is the story of how a loser grows up to be a spy. If you want something fun Chuck is always a great choice.

    10. Rourin Kenshin

    The story of Japans deadliest swordfighter... After he's taken a vow, never to kill again. Learning about his back story as well as the growth he still needs to go through in order to defeat new evil, without going back on his vow. Makes for a great story. If you like manga give it a read.

    11. Naruto

    In a world of ninjas lives a boy with the power of the deadliest mythical beast trapped inside him. Is he human or beast? This is the story of how Naruto gains the respect of his town. Full of action, really good manga.

    12. Bleach

    Huge swords. Monsters. And the afterlife. I couldn't ask for much more.

    Ichigo gets given the powers of a death god (think death. Black Cape, sword, sends souls to the afterlife) he's then tasked with sending souls to the afterlife and killing demons before they eat good souls.

    The story takes us to heaven and hell. I feel it lost its way later on but I still recommend checking it out, when it's good it's great.

    13. Trigun

    I can't remember the story of the manga. But the TV show is awesome. It gets you thinking, it's full of wise quotes. Phylosophies clash. And it's about a space cowboy with the largest bounty on his head.

    Vash is the nicest guy in anime, but still people want him dead. Even then he risks his life to make sure they are OK. You watch for the story of his development, not where each episode takes you. If the story of a person's growth is what you want I highly recommend this short anime.
