This story made no sense. Start to finish I was scratching my head at the choices and actions of various characters. More over this story changes gears so often it's like watching a writer with ADD trying to write 5 different stories at the same time. Biggest problem of this one was character writing but the plots randomly fast and slow pacing didn't help things. Story: The premise, though not very original, was interesting. And really the way it was selling itself for the first half of it I figured we were going to get a fun time with a group of crazy superpowered kids rescuing other superpowered kids...

Chobits

Jul 4, 2011

Chobits was one of the first anime series I ever watched from beginning to end nonstop. At the time I was living with a girl and we watched it together and neither of us slept for the whole night we had the DVDs for. Needless to say, we were both blown away at the time. Now years later, after seeing it again and after having seen so many other great shows, it still hasn't lost is charm and entertainment value. Story: At first the story seems kind of dull, lonely boy has nothing really going for him yet, has little funds, and no real friends, but one day finds an android in the trash and drags her home...

Cardcaptor Sakura

Jan 19, 2011

I give a lot of credit where credit is due, the one thing I can say about Card Captor Sakura is that it had a lot of charm and unique qualities about it that no other Maho Shoujo anime had before or since so far. Story: I was a bit generous on this end simply because it actually had a story to tell, it wasn't completely monster of the week and there was a definite beginning and ending to that story. The main problem here was the fact that it was very much for kids way under my age group. Half the time I was so sickened by the density of the characters, particularly Sakura herself, that I wanted to drop... See full review

Clannad After Story

Jan 13, 2010

Imagine, for a moment if you would, that you're laying down on an operating table and the Doctor leans over and smiles to you kindly, says everything is going to be just fine right before he quite literally rips your heart out, shreds it in front of your dying face, then pieces it back together magically and says "Nanchatte" (just kidding) while putting it back in.That would quite literally be what Clannad After Story does to you in a nut shell. Of course there's a lot more to it than that but I wanted to warn you before hand because, quite frankly, I had to wait a few days before I wrote this... See full review

Chrome Shelled Regios

Nov 8, 2009

Another title that I've seen where the sum doesn't equal the parts. What went wrong here was bad plot management and character development.Story:The story itself had a lot of potential for greatness, and in some ways it was great. Sadly due to bad plot management and a poor resolution, that is to say almost none, it just tore down what would have been a good story. Episode transitions were sometimes confusing at best, and outright nonsensical at worst. I never did get the "mini-series" in the show, it seemed like they were trying to go for something and came up short.Animation:The art here was... See full review

Story:There was just the slightest hint of shoujo-ai going on here but nothing so blatant as what I've seen recently. Not that I personally care about it one way or the other. The story was pretty good even if it was just a bit unrealistic. I think they tried just a bit too hard at times but it didn't come off too badly. Pretty much just an enjoyable entertainment worth your time at only 13 eps.Animation:The artwork was pretty stellar, something you'd expect from this particular time really and while some things did stick out a bit as a bit above average, the rest was pretty much your typical...
