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

Mar 26, 2011

Ok, let's first start with the reason why some people are burning it down:
They seem to have not gotten the message that it is an anime based on an EroGame.

So the complete randomness in which the story goes back and forth in time to get a new outcome where the main character does another girl is not random! It's like going back to your saved game and picking another choice.
And based on that, I think they did pretty darn well to actually make an anime out of it!

I have tried playing only few EroGames, so I only know a bit about the choices and stuff.
Other than that it's just... See full review

Yamada's First Time: B Gata H Kei

Oct 5, 2010

It starts of funny and the idea seems original enough.Yamada the main character is a 15 year old girl who has apperently set her goal to have 100 sexpartners, ofcourse somebody has to be the firstso, where to start....

Halfway through the series it's still funny, but she's starting to annoy me.
I'm not much of a fan of tsundere girls and she's getting worse and worse along the way.
The story covers about 2 years in these 12 episodes, so you might call it character development... Anyway.
The animation is pretty good, same goes for the sound.

The characters are mostly pretty standard as... See full review

World Conquest Zvezda Plot

May 18, 2014

So, we start off with something silly, then it turns even more silly and even dumb and then we get some amazing plottwists that nobody could possibly see coming....
Ahem... No we don't.
Not yet anyway, I mean, really, how many times have we seen the "OMG I totally did not recognize you before because you have a silly mask covering your eyesm but absolutely everything else looks and sounds the same, so it was incredibly hard to even think about it" thing before?!
At least Clark Kent bothered to change his hairstyle (eventhough it wasn't as incredibly obvious as here).

We, Without Wings - Under the Innocent Sky

Nov 21, 2011

It's a bit hard to describe this anime as it starts of pretty random.
I thought it was pretty funny though. It's probably a good thing I had not looked here for the overall rating, because I probably wouldn't have watched it then.
Especially because I had some trouble keeping focussed after the first 2 episodes.
Stick with it though and you will still be able to enjoy quite a few laughs.
For the fans, there are quite some pantyshots as well.... And not just any standard striped ones to my surprise.
Ok, so after finding out this was based on an ero-game maybe not so much surprised anymore, but... See full review

Umisho

May 22, 2011

It's a relatively light anime with lots of fun and plenty of silly characters.
You might think that this will turn out like one of those typical ecchi/romance/harem type animes, but you'll be mistaken.
It does have some romantic touches and in terms of ecchi there's a lot of 'bouncing' going on, but that's not emphasised too much. It really does revolve a lot around the swimming club and the competitions they go to.
Ofcourse there HAS to be a festival episode and a hot spring one, as seems to be standard for any anime that includes girls and sometimes it can be extremely predictable, but that... See full review

The Qwaser Of Stigmata Picture Drama

May 22, 2011

So yeah, Story? There is none.

Animation? There is none.

Sound? Well, there is some talking done... In a way that some people would use their phone and get charged excessive amounts of money to get.... Well... Stimulated... >_<

Characters? Oh come on.
This is a picture show of 'erotic' variety that has absolutely no value what-so-ever.
I guess some people might actually fap to this, but then 2 minutes is a bit short, isn't it?
Oh sorry, it isn't? Poor you.
So, the anime itself is already like, WTF, but adding this to it makes it even more....... See full review

The Qwaser Of Stigmata

May 22, 2011

I downloaded this as a torrent containing 12 episodes, an OVA and 6 "picture drama" episodes, so I thought tat would be it. Later I came to realise that it was actually a 24 episode anime. Now, at about episode 8 or 9, I did indeed think that it would not be possible to finish the story in 12 episodes, but my goodness.
I wish they had. Up till that point, despite the characters being retarded and the story being full of holes and unexplained occurences, I actually had a few laughs and it was all kind of funny.
But they introduce too many characters, not working them out, which is... See full review

The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses

Jul 16, 2023

Having watched a lot of anime for almost two decades already (Making myself feel old now) I have seen this copy-paste type of anime so often, it's not even funny. Get your standard female characters, tsundere, kuudere, ditsy, etc. add one oblivious male and a reason why they have to meet and/or live toghether and BAM! There's something you can milk an entire show off of, right?

Wrong, it is exactly because it's been done a million times over and better at that, that this falls flat on it's face.
I have been wanting to drop this from episode 3, but I have tried to endure and got 'rewarded' with a... See full review

Step Up Love Story

Jul 5, 2011

I think this is a pretty nice cute little anime and should definitely be seen by those who start out like this couple.

#Starting to rant, not so much related to this anime#
Really, get some proper sex-ed, preferably BEFORE getting married. Some countries are just way to scared to let out anything about love and/or sex.
Then you get the; "hmm, so this thing goes in there" type of sex, because they don't know any better.
Knock it off! Explore, experiment, there's so much fun to be had! No wonder the guy shoots his load almost instantly, all that pent up... No actually, I... See full review

Steins;Gate

Nov 12, 2011

Tutteru!

I'd think you wouldn't need another review with this many positive ratings, but just to be sure... I'm going to tell you to go watch this too. =P

Obviously, that is if you like a healthy dose of nutty people, time travel that has actually been thought through! A bit of romance (even sort of touching harem at some point, but can be neglected), drama for some possible teary moments and lots of laughs.
You just have to watch this.

Ofcourse, if you're going to nitpick at the concept of timetravel, you will always end up at the impossibility and the approach on this anime (which... See full review

Shadow Star Narutaru

Mar 12, 2011

I downloaded this anime after reading a review of GANTZ, stating that this would also be pretty messed up. In the end I can agree, but it takes a while to see why the comparison was made. Not that I was really waiting for that but... I guess this whole anime is just unexpected. And after watchin it, I really do wonder why they haven't made a second season or why they hadn't waited for the manga to finish, because there is no end to it. It's really REALLY frustrating, because I feel like we are only halfway through the story.
So what I recommend you to do if you're interested in this, is what I am going... See full review

School Rumble San Gakki

Apr 19, 2011

If you liked the first two seasons and you're expecting something similar, or a proper closure... Well, maybe there is a little bit of a closure somehow, but it bites.

Basically they seem to have run out of budget or something and decided to compress a whole lot of manga chapters into 2 episodes so they could have an excuse of at least finishing the anime.
Evenso, they still have an intro to tell you a few things that seem to have happened in a few seconds, which still leaves thinking "WTF?" and also throughout both the episodes there's constant reminders of the WTF-moment and you're... See full review

Sasameki Koto

Apr 11, 2012

For the most part I enjoyed it, but then for some reason they seemed to have a need to go ahead and ruin it by forgetting they were trying to tell a romantic story. Towards the end it became hard to follow through because I was seriously starting to doubt they could give it a proper finish.
And then comes the worst. They didn't.
They just give you the biggest crater of an open ending you may have seen in some time.

So, then I took a look around to find the manga and guess what? NO open ending there!
What the hell went wrong with the animation process? How could they have gotten sidetracked... See full review

This is a great anime....
If you have absolutely nothing better to do and/or are eating in the meantime or doing something else that means you don't really have to pay attention to what's going on.

So, after watching the whole thing I indeed need to edit this review.
Not only is this mostly good as background noise, it's incomplete too.
No wonder the story is lacking and dimwhitted. No wonder I keep getting the feeling this whole show is mostly filler...

It's been based on a manga that is still ongoing AND every episode of this anime equals 1 chapter of the manga!! Admitted, the... See full review

Okusama wa Joshikousei

I'm not really sure what to say about this anime....
It's entertaining in a way, but it's also pretty dumb and doesn't really make sense.
The characters are a bit 'simple' and the whole 'who, what, when , where, how and why about the marriage doesn't even get mentioned once.
I mean, I already think it's strange enough for Americans to let 16 year olds drive cars, when that is still an age at which most kids still feel like bragging and lack responsibility, but in Japan you can even get married! That is, if you have parental consent...
But then the first thing that happens is an angry father... See full review

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu: Purezza

Oct 23, 2010

Well, if you're interested in how 'it ends' with the two after the first season, you will have to go through a bunch of episodes that don't exactly add much to the story already known.As it seems a MUST for every second season, new characters are added, but they don't add anything at all if you ask me. It's all just too random and gives too much of a feeling that this second season is mainly meant to add ecchi-ness (aka pantyshots and the likes) Admitted, the first season was already good for fanservice, but now it's just too obvious.
There's enough fun to be had though, so it's not all bad. It's just... See full review

Wait, what story? Admitted, first season was already quite sucky, but this time it's even worse with the "let's torture and make fun of the main character" without bothering to put up any effort of fitting it inside any type of story.
I know there will be plenty people who will like this anime, because there are a lot who liked the movie 'meet the parents' as well.
That is also one of those movies in which the whole point is to ridicule the main character and come up with slapstick and one-shot gags. I... See full review

Well, in theory you could say that this story has an original idea....
But when most of that idea is used as just a little lifeline to grab on to to allow for pantyshots and booby bouncing to dominate...
Well, yeah, then it just turns in a standard harem, with the standard stereotype characters.
And then halfway through the inevitable happens and the lifeline gets some more attention again, but then again, that lifeline also has it's problems.

A long long time ago when I first started watching anime, I came across this and dropped it after the first two episodes because it was so hirribly, HORRIBLY annoying.
And yet, the rating for this anime is relatively high...
So, after many years I have decided to give it a nother try.
Although it's very hard to find a proper download (bad quality and subs are very bad), I'm watching now and am up to episode 8 and surprised to say, there's a lot more to it than you'd expect at first glance. Yes, Sana-chan is still extremely annoying, but she has her heart in the right place.

I don't mind watching anime that have a little weird drawing style, but this is not just weird... It's terrible. Eyes too far apart, characters messy with dark and thick lines looking like they just threw some colours on raw sketches...
But let's put that aside a bit. Even if it does make it hard to realise that some people are supposed to be handsome. It's the story we're looking for.
And that starts pretty good. A romance not meant to be and difficult circumstances, fighting with monsters and all kinds of ingerdients to make a fine story... Untill they make things even more farfetched... At some... See full review

The first time I tried watchign the series I dropped out at after the 3rd or 4th episode, because it was so boring. After about 2 years I tried watching it again and I still watched some other animes in between, because this show just couldn't keep my attention.
You might find the ecchi stuff interesting, but just for that, I don't reccommend this at all. You'll be much better off with Kanokon or what have you.... At least there the funny stuff is also actually funny.

It's nothing alike!!
The only thing in common is the location, archery and the 2 main characters look the same.
Other than that, oh yeah, the title, but that's it!

Nothing new and possibly tuned down a bit to reach a larger audience... Although I still doubt it had much of an audience either way.

This is a bit of a confusing anime.
Not so much because it's hard to follow.... And yet, in the end, it kind of is...

There's plenty of drama, some romance, a cover of supernatural and then to spice things up, a few random ecchi moments.
And the greatest thing is!:
The 'happy ending' went completely wrong!!
How is that a happy ending?! It was just bloody sad!
Not to mention quite abrupt, but then most of it was.

And indeed, getting past the part that it's not boy meets girl, but meets another boy, we find ourselves a very funny anime with a hyper-active joker as a main character.
Storywise it might not be the most brilliant ever, because some things just don't quite match up, or get worked out properly, but compensating it with a lot of fun is ok with me.
