Top 30 Global Anime Blogs 2017

Watching an anime series is quite taxing especially for those still new to the genre. For one, you have to be able to read fast enough to understand the dialogue since the latest episodes only show subtitles. Following the fast-paced action while trying your best to do high-speed reading takes time getting used to but, in the end, it’s worth the effort.

In addition, the fast action scenes would sometimes be confusing to some fans. There might be some crucial clues in a scene that you just did not notice which would make the entire plot hard to understand. Thankfully, the rising popularity of anime also means that sites offering reviews per episode are also increasing, making your anime adventure a little bit easier.

For a greater understanding and appreciation of your favorite series, here are the top 30 anime blog sites that every anime lover should not miss out.
