Blade of the Immortal: 4.5/5

Worosei · 03-30-2009, 07:06 AM

finished Toradora!

I absolutely loved this series, and it's catapulted to my favourite romance anime...

Well maybe a bit more tentatively now, as i thought the ending was slightly rushed and not as well thought out as i was hoping.

But the characters i thought were amzaingly deep, and multi-faceted, as well as their interactions with each other. The animation was gorgeous, the pacing was really well done and the way the themes were presented was just done in such a convincing manner.

Its not exactly 'original' in plot or ideas, but the way it was executed was superb.

I give major props to JC Staff for doing a series i thought managed to become quite deep and serious and sad whilst maintaining a light and fun mood.

Same to you as well chili. Some old school is good for you. Already watched 6 Episodes of Orguss. Took me FOREVER to find that series though. Special edition R2's have english subs though. Thank god I live in Japan and have friends with good tastes!

By the way...LOL Casshan Robot hunter. Mega Man filled with Angst. I remeber watching that on Saturday Anime on Sci-Fi Channel.

Skip Beat and Ride Back

Ride Back... disappointing to the point that it only deserves 2 stars. And I'm being quite lenient about that.

Skip Beat... FPA:JLFDL:SkJSD:SLKfJ Why'd it have to end?!

It could of gone on for so much longer!

Black Butler / kuro shitsuji - 3.5/5 stars

I loved the look and feel of this anime throughout. Old English look, pretty characters everywhere, dark but happy look. Some of the stories were really fun and entertaining too. However, the overall trend in this anime was "hey guys. Here's some plot holes, go have fun." I mean, I have no clue what in the world was going on 70% of the time. Sometimes it was episodic, other times there were character driven stories, and other times hardcore story was shown. Half the time I had no idea which episodes were which.

So, While it was a fun watch, and the ending was actually somewhat satisfying, I don't think it's a great anime in any sense of the word, but I enjoyed it.

Rideback ended? sweeeeeeeeeet, can't wait to be done with that boring crap.

Just finished Now and Then, Here and There

I thoroughly enjoyed this series! I especially like how it didn't pull any punches, some of the things that happened were downright harsh. Great characters and an enjoyable storyling made it an all-round success in my book.

Other than my personal feelings on the ending though, a thoroughly enjoyable series that I'd give a solid 9/10

damn I was just going to start that :( guess maybe I'll pass on it for now

I just finished... ahem... soul eater.
pretty obvious ending so yeah probably a 3/5
it's better then most shonen crap I'd say it is on par with Shippuden in terms of quality for various reasons.

As a fan of the manga, i rather enjoyed the anime adaption. It was pretty much as bloody and brutal as the manga, and the animation was well done. Easily my favorite anime of the fall season. Sadly, i doubt it will get another one, as 13 episodes really only set you up for the plot of the manga, and as a result, i could easily see how most people would find it more confusing then cool. well, here's hoping it get continued (I'm not going to hold my breath). The ending set it up for more, putting the pieces in place for the rest of the story. __________________ Last edited by azanimefan; 03-29-2009 at 07:53 PM.

My only issue is the bittersweet ending, while it was sort of fitting, I've always disliked bittersweet endings, and especially where everything just goes back to the status quo. I had the same gripe about Escaflowne Other than my personal feelings on the ending though, a thoroughly enjoyable series that I'd give a solid 9/10 __________________ I have a blog that most people won't like, check it out in my profile!
