Yosuga no Sora: In Solitude, Where We Are Least Alone

Feb 22, 2011

There are so many effective scenes in this anime. From the subtle to the down right obvious. Can I just say that I am shocked that lots of people on this site don't like this anime; its a very effective thrill ride and attacks your emotions like no anime I've seen before (Elfen Lied is still the most emotional anime I've seen to date, but this is second). Its a fantasic anime and well I explain more in my video review.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ6AjJz38JU BBFC rating - N/A My BBFC rating - 18 for strong sex and an incest... See full review

To Love Ru

Mar 19, 2011

The anime has a great premise and the first 7ish episodes are very well done, but then the anime seems to run out of idea's and keeps on introducing random characters, who get pumped off at the end of the episode (making that episode pointless); To Love-Ru just has too many filler episodes for me to recomed it, however it has a great lead female and a very funny suporting cast as well as some scenes of subtle character development. More in video review, this review is the first episode of my series 'Sex God anime reviews', I got the idea from B Gata H Kei to do a Sex God and he first appears in that... See full review

The Secret World of Arrietty

Feb 20, 2012

Charming is the ultimate word to describe this film. And from a Studio Ghibli film I don't think you would expect anything more, it isn't high on emotions like some of the studios previous efforts, but it has an extreamly like-able female lead in Arrietty and some of the best use in music I've seen from an anime, the music and soundtrack really up the experience and soely thanks to the music it offers very memorable scenes. Bottom line is I LOVE THIS FILM - more in video review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRLyg96W0oc BBFC rating ... See full review

The Sacred Blacksmith

Oct 7, 2011

The Scared Blacksmith is a damn entertaining anime, but the plot is not clear and the ending leaves much to be desired. However the anime has a great cast of developed characters and the anime's strength is in its subtle character development.

Tales of Vesperia ~The First Strike~

Nov 8, 2013

*Reviewed from an outsiders perspective as I know nothing about the video game* The story for the most part seemed very slow and I was introduced to things that I had no idea about (like blastia) and some random cameo's from characters I assume are from the game, that go no where. It did pick up though in the second half, the two main characters were interesting and well developed, same with their commanding officer. Animation is great, soundtrack is great; from an outsiders point of view I really enjoyed it, though I'm sure fans of the game will get more out of it. It's just a fun film to me. More in...

Tales from Earthsea

Jan 13, 2013

Deemed to be Studio Ghibli's worst film; I went in thinking 'it's from Studio Ghibli how bad can it be?'. I don't know if I'm looking to deeply into it, but this is possibley one of the worst film I have ever seen and it all comes from the story and the character, the two biggest parts of the film and they fuck it up. In the first 5 mins Prince Arren kills his farther the King, for possibly no reason and the movie wants us to feel sorry for him. Fuck you movie, I'm not going to feelsorry for a rich Prince who for no reason killed his farther and this guy is the King, right? So how come no one in the film... See full review

Spice and Wolf II

May 12, 2013

The first season is outstanding, but unfortantly not all second seasons turn out like Clannad After Story. I don't think I've ever been so disapointed with an anime before; tha main plot of Spice and Wolf, from the first season was Lawrence taking Holo up north, with threats and stuff along the way, now that worked in the first season because they were constantly on the road and we saw the lovely countryside and everything else this world has to offer, yet this season thinks it's wise to keep everything self contained in two towns, because there's only two story arcs. Also the main charm of the first season... See full review

Spice and Wolf

Apr 21, 2013

Spice and Wolf is rather unique for a fantasy anime; it doesn't focus on fighting, magic, action ect it focuses more on religion, trade, economics, money amongest other thing. The charm of the seires is the character Holo and Lawrence, watching them chat and interact with each other is were the joy of the series comes from, they both bring out the worst and best in each other. They're the perfect duo. More in video review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddz1Py8mj2Y BBFC rating - 12 for moderate violence, horror, sex references... See full review

Shigurui: Death Frenzy

Nov 8, 2013

Shigurui is vile disgusting trash - the gratuitous use of violence really distracts from the characters and what little story the anime is trying to tell - people have told me that it's trying to resemble the brutal Samurai era of fedual Japan, in that case it works, there's misogyny, there's harakiri, there's rape, murder, everything; but there's no interesting story here, as we follow these two incredibly unlikeable characters. I can't route for these guys, I can't feel any sympathy for them, escpically when they do these horrible things. Violence has to have a narrative purpose instead of just being... See full review

School Days

Feb 25, 2011

Pure awsomeness this anime is. Like Yosuga No Sora there is so much to anylise in this anime. The story and the characters actions are so unpredictable, as is the mood change. Fuck Makoto that bastard! Video review time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2muH6x-1ai4 - I do think I should re-do my review, as it was my first anime review.

Samurai Girls

May 30, 2013

I do love ecchi's and harems and Samurai Girls is one of the best I have seen. Not only are the characters (except for Kanetsugu, she was incredibly annoying) all interesting and in their own way like-able but the plot took very unexpected turns and the story got quite dark, when they introduced Gisen who turned out to be a brilliant villan. The animation is also really unique and I haven't seen an animation style like this before. More in video review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB1onliKUcI BBFC rating - 18 for strong sex...

Samurai Bride

Jan 7, 2014

Unlike Samurai Girls, Samurai Bride has a really unfocused story and it introduces way too many new characters. The four dark samurai's are very weak villians compared to Gisen in Samurai Girls, however I do like the main characters and that's pretty much why I kept watching, nor is the show ever boring. If you liked/loves Samurai Girls then yeah I mildly recomend this, if you hated it then you probably won't like this one either.

Madoka Magica is pure perfect anime; it's dark, thilling, gripping, interesting, suprising, emotional, funny, memorable like-able characters, an unexspected villian who isn't really a villian but it is a villian, brilliant soundtrack - J-pop to horror esc music and vivid variety in the animation.

Princess Mononoke

Feb 9, 2012

Like Grave of the Fireflies this is one of Studio Ghibli's darkest films - the film is very creative and the story, for what it is, is quite engaging, however what I really don't understand is why do the humans want the head of The Deer God? It doesn't explain what they are going to do with it or why they need it, it just seems like that woman is endagering the humans for no reason and hey they give it back to him and everything goes back to normal, so that whole sequence seemed abit pointless - that's my major problem with the film and the story, but everything else before that was perfect: More in video...

Paranoia Agent

Jul 10, 2013

Paranoia Agent is a very confusing and trippy seires, with each episode focusing on different characters leading up to them getting attacked by Shonen Batto; each episode is a self contained story, but never leaving out the detectives who are trying to solve the case. I enjoyed the first three episodes, then it got boring and it really came back in episode 8 - this episode is about three members of an internet suicide pact, with their goal throughout the whole episode being to kill themselves; it's certainly the best and most intresting episode and I'd really love it more if the whole seires was about these...

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt

Oct 2, 2012

Enjoying this anime is mostly based on your humour; if you find vulgar nonsensicle sex jokes funny then you'll really love the anime. Though for me, the main charm of the seires comes from the characters, they really have no character development or backstory to dive into, but their personalites are so full of life and energy it's hard not to love any of them.

Story? Doesn't matter. Animation? Not good but it does the job well. Nothing else matters, all that matters is the Characters. It's a 26 episode anime, very long yes, but my motavation for watching all episodes was the Characters, they are all like-able, developed and the series used it's time up well (except episode 13, which was a pointless filler). This is way the anime gets a high rating, because of the characters, they make the series enjoyable. More in video review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyjPD2_RL2Q BBFC rating ... See full review

Mardock Scramble: The Second Combustion

Aug 3, 2013

The first was great and this one slightly improves on the orginal with the continuing story of Rune Balton, as the film begins exactly where the first one left off and this film focuses on Rune re-covering from her wonds in a place called Paradice, then it switches to a rather intresting game of gamberling in the second half. The first one had alot of action and was very fast, while it is the same length as the first one, there is hardly action in it and Rune Balton's revenge starts to become less violent as it was in the first one, but I find it more interesting...

Kite has a very unique and gritty style to it, but the film has so many plot holes that its hard to ignore, as well as having little to no character development. 45 mins just doesn't seem like enough time to develop the story and characters, but Kite has the best shoot-outs/fight scenes I've ever seen in animation.

This is just a funny anime, with likeable characters and all. If you critises this for 'fanservice' then go and critise other animes for violence; for violence is just another type of 'fanserivce'.
