-Story-The story of Suzuka was driven mostly on the idiocy of the characters. There were some unique moments that I found enjoyable, but they were far outnumbered by the stupid parts based mostly on the stupidity of the characters. The most the love stories get is an awkawd love triangle between seemingly mismatched characters, and it has a missing length to it belonging to Suzuka's dead Sempai. The story would have probably been half way decent if it wasn't driven by the sheer idiocy of all the characters. There were few touching moments, or funny moments, or any moments that gave me a major emotional... See full review

-Story- At first I thought that the premise to 'My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute' was pretty interesting, but as the show progressed, it kind of let me down. There are couple of things that I didn't like, like how Kirino is a total bitch to her brother despite all of the nice things that he does for her. I also did not like how Kirino writes a novel and has it made into an anime series in two episodes, but it is hardly mentioned after that. Plus I hated how the trip to America by Kirino premise was sprung upon us at the last minute when it was rarely mentioned before that she was a track athlete. The... See full review

-Story-To say that RomeoXJuliet is based on the play Romeo and Juliet is just sheer insanity. There are only two things that this series and the play have in common is the characters and that it was a tragedy. But even with this series, and knowing that this is a completely new story, the story itself did not hold up well. I felt that when it was made, they changed the storyline at least a dozen times and that the story introduced in episode 1 has very little corrilation with the conclusion at the end of the series. This series suffers from severe plot ADD, with constant jumping around with very weak links... See full review

-Story-This anime has no story, and it lacks the charm to make up for it either. There where few jokes that made me smile, and even fewer that made me even giggle. The "story" in this series is a mockery to all the TMoHS fans out there. I will give this series a little bit of lee-way because its so short, you could probably watch this whole series in a half hour. But this really was horrible in both story and the jokes sucked.-Animation-There were a lot of stills and repeated animation in this series. Also the art that was shown was terrible, and there was little in the way of making the... See full review

-Story- I found the story of Baka and Test to be both hilarious and entertaining at the same time. There were several moments that I was laughing quite hard about. The concept of the show was also interesting. The students take placement exams and based on those they are sent to different classrooms based on ability. The best classes get the best stuff, while the worst classes get the worse stuff. If students don't like their stuff, they can challenge another class to a "Summoner Test War" to get their stuff. I feel that this premise was presented well. Mixed in with this sort of sci-fi theme... See full review

-Story- I did not find the story of Sekirei to be all that interesting. Sure the action was pretty good, but I feel that the series fell short in other areas. One place they fell short on is the harem aspect of the show. I felt that the harem aspects of the show were pretty darn generic and other shows have done it a lot better. The harem parts also were really cliche as you had a lot of the standard character types in the show (The loser guy, the first girl, the lolita girl, the tsundere girl). I also felt that the parts that tried to be funny were not funny at all, and relied too much on fanservice and... See full review

-Story-The weakest link in the movie My Neighbor Totoro is definately the story. For the first half of the movie, I was completely bored out of my mind. I don't mind a little slice of life anime, but it either has to win me over with humor or charm, which My Neighbor Totoro, does not deliver on. However, things get interesting towards the second half of the movie, and the second half ultimately saves the film for me. The story that was set up so boringly in the first half of the film comes alive and takes on a form of its own and it tugs at the heartstrings. If they made the first half of the film more...

-Story-Green Green is an anime that was designed specifically to get a young male audience, and no one else. The only thing that drives the story elements is the possibility of ecchi moments, and what plot that they try to put in there is largely forgotten in the first half of the series, and it doesn't make it into the series until the last couple of episodes, which are the only good episodes in the entire series (excluding the ever elusive episode 13). I also knew that the story was weak when there where 12 "real" episodes, and one of them is a crummy clip show. The only redeming quality to the... See full review

When I first saw the poster for this movie in the lobby of my local movie theatre, I was excited to see another Studio Ghilbi film. I went and saw the movie while I was home on Spring Break, and I was not dissapointed at all by The Secret World of Arriety. -Story- I found that the story was quite interesting and for the most part it was able to keep my attention. The main plot is about this boy named Sho (Sean in the English dub), who is very sickly, so he goes out to the country to his mother's old house to get some rest before he has his surgery. Meanwhile there is a family of Borrowers living... See full review

-Story- Maken-ki! is an anime that was never really sure what sort of show that it wanted to be. It started out as a ecchi harem anime, that tried to change into an action anime, but it ultimately failed at this. I did not find the story of the show to be all that interesting to begin with, mostly because I have seen the premise before done a whole lot better. It tries to do the "magical" harem show where all the girls have some sort of power with the guy either not having the abilities or really sucks at it. This has been done in both Maburaho and Sekirei. Another aspect that didn't work with... See full review

After falling in love with the Hetalia series, I had been wanting to watch this movie for a long while, but much like the second season of Haruhi, It kept getting pushed back and my life got busy which prevented me from watching it. But for Christmas I got the DVD for the movie as well as the first 2 seasons, so I finally decided to watch the movie. At first I was not sure how well a series of 5 minute mostly non-sequitor webisodes could become a feature length film, as it seemed like a stretch to me. My exerience with these kind of movies being adapted from shows (mostly 30 minute shows though) to be kind... See full review

-Story- The story of Kiyokoi is a simple love story about a high school girl who is extremely shy, who eventually overcomes this shyness and makes friends and finds love. It may not be the most original story line in the world, but the overall story was cute and somewhat entertaining. There were a couple of moments that did provide some humor that provides one with a light chuckle. Even though I did find Hiyokoi entertaining, it wasn't really that entertaining for me. However the story is a cute lovey-dovey type story and had more good than bad. -Animation- The animation was not all that great but it... See full review

-Story-The story of High School of the Dead is you basic zombie survival story that has been done so many times already. It really is not the most unique thing, but I still found myself liking it. The action scenes were awesome, which is a very pivitol role in any zombie survival story. The scenes inbetween the actions scenes with character growth were not all that great and some of the lines were not that great. These scenes are almost like Star Wars love scenes, they just suck and it does not work there. Fortunately for High School of the Dead, these scenes don't matter a whole lot in the genre they are...

-Story-The story in Princess Mononoke was a very entertaining story, and it had a very important message about our impact on the environment. The Story did seem a little too slow in some parts, and other parts were boring, but for the most part it was good. I like how no one really is the bad guy, but all the characters are serving the interests of themselves or their own kind. There is no good and evil, just opposing sides in a conflict. -Animation-Absolutely a work of Art. the backgrounds were stunning, the characters were great, and all the little things made it look like a living and vibrant...

-Story-This is a very depressing story. It is a story about a boy who lived in Hiroshima in 1945, so we know from the lessons of history that this is not going to be a happy story. When the atomic bomb is dropped, Gen experiences the untimely deaths of his father and brother and sister, leaving him and his mother to try and survive the living hell that is post atom bomb Hiroshima. This is a very deep story, and it really makes one think. It makes one wonder "Why did the United States drop the atom bomb?" and "Was it really worth all the suffering that was caused by it?". Another thing... See full review

-Story-I thought that Training with Hinako was a boring as it could get, but boy was I wrong. Sleeping with Hinako has got to be the most boring anime that I have ever seen. I thought that exersise was boring, but watching someone sleeping is just as boring as it gets. Sure we get to see a dream or two of Hinako's, but most of the time we are just hearing her sleeping. It was so boring that I started playing game boy in the middle of it and while waiting for something interesting to happen. It is just plain boring.-Animation-Again nothing special here with the animation, but it is even more focused on her... See full review

-Story-There was a storyline? really? The storyline of Eiken is hard to follow or even be aware of due to it being interfered with the constant fanservice. I find the problem with most ecchi animes is that they focus too much on making sexual jokes and situations, and they forget about the story. Sure, they ecchi moments are nice, but without a story to put them in context, It becomes a "lets see how many panty shots we can fit into 30 minutes" contest. That is the problem with Eiken, it has a decent story, but it is drowned out by the constant fanservice. I think that if the fanservice and ecchi... See full review

-Story-The thing that I love about Hetalia is that it takes the stories of History, and gives it to the characters, and makes it funny. Hetalia is one of the few Web Animes that I actually find really enjoyable. Most of the story is about history portrayed through the personifications of the nations of the world. Since it is a web series, it has to make due with 5 minutes of time for each episode, which proves to be a great amount to make each episode a joy to watch. The humor is great through out the series, and provides a good laugh into some of history's darker times. The series focuses around the... See full review

-Story-The story in So-Ra-No-Wo-To is just simply amazing. It successfully made the series episodical while at the same time keeping them in the same story line that had a satisfying climax. The premise is not original per say, but the way that they portray it is. I found the story to be quite brilliant. It kept the audience engaged, and it was full of energy. There where moments when the story got pretty deep, and there were also light hearted moments in the series too, which wouldn't work all that well in the same series, but here it works completely. There were times when I laughed, and there where times... See full review

-Story- The Story in The Sky Crawlers is a complex one, and it can be hard to follow at times, but thats what makes it a good story. It explores some of the deepest parts of the human experience, and it makes you think. The concept itself is preey good too, and the idea of corperate warfare seems like it could actually happen one day. The Kildren provide a decent perspective of the human experience, so that we can explore it from a whole new light. However, If you are into lots of action, then this is not the movie for you. This movie will bore people who demand constant action. The Sky Crawlers has a lot... See full review

-Story-The story in When they Cry can be complex at times and a bit confusing. The show is broken down into several different story lines that are all interconnected in some way, but it doesn't really seem that way. Despite the complexities and confusion, the story is still very great. The plot is strong and powerful, and each moment makes you want to hang on to the edge of your seat. The storyline is compelling and it makes you look forward to what comes next in the series. This series will creep you out at moments, and can be scary. I usually don't like stories like this, but When They Cry is a notable... See full review

-Story-Karin has a story line that I have never seen simular too in any other anime. It provides a new twist on the old vampire legends and I found it to be very entertaining to see a new prospective on such things. There have been animes about forbidden love before, but none have been quite like Karin. Karin has a very unique plot that grips onto you and pulls you into the world that the characters inhabit. I applaud Karin's unique plot, and its ability to tell it in a proper and entertaining fashion.-Animation-The animation in Karin did look remerkable. One of the things that really made me like the...

-Story-The story for Ichigo 100% seemed to be a bit slower paced, but it was still good. Speed does not mean good, and I find that people who hate an anime because the plot is slow are being rather impatient and only want things to happen, instead of digging deeper. This was a series however that the story had to be based on the characters, which I felt that it did a pretty good job with for the most part, and it made the story interesting to watch. I liked how the story wasnt driven by Ecchi moments and were driven by the Characters instead. There are large gaps of time inbetween episodes, which can be... See full review

I had heard of this movie before when they were airing it on the Cartoon Network, but I never got the chance to see it. That is until I saw it yesterday, and frankly, I'd have to say that it was awesome.-Story-At the beginning of the story I was very confussed and it seemed that the movie wanted to avoid explaining things. I almost stopped watching. But I was rewarded for continuing to watch. I found the story to be touching and very exceptional. Nothing was predictable or went according to any formula, which I greatly appreciate in any Movie, let alone an Anime. It has a fresh and exciting story that one... See full review

-Story- I'd like to start by saying that I watched the ADV gag dub of this show, and my review is based on that version. I found that the series started out very funny, but as the show drug on, I found it less and less funny as the same jokes were made again and again. The lack of variety of the jokes really hurts the show in the later episodes. I laughed a lot in the first episode, but hardly laughed during the last episode. The gag dub format of the show works well in the begining, but the writers kept making the same jokes. If I was able to laugh as much as I did in the first episode throughout the... See full review

-Story- While I feel that the story was not as good as some other Studio Ghilbi films, it was still a decent plot and an interesting story. It was a story that was based more on real life than most Studio Ghilbi films, but it was excecuted well. Its basically a story about growing up as we follow the Junior High student Shizuku as she deals with issues of love and finding out more about herself. This is also one of the few Studio Ghilbi films that has romance as a critical part of the story, and for the most part it was excecuted well, except the romance got complicated with all of the crushes the side...

Recently I have really gotten into the works from Studio Ghibli, and Castle in the Sky was on my list so I decided to watch it. -Story- The story is very interesting and intense. It keeps you on the edge of your seat with the action, but it is also endearing for the heartwarming scenes that it has. Throughout the film I felt very emotionally invested in the film. I cared about the characters and what happened to them, which is the mark of an excellent film. The story starts out with this boy named Pazo who catches a girl who floats out of the sky named Sheeta. The story follows these two as they go on an... See full review

I had been wanting to watch Otaku no Video for a little while now, but it was never really high on my "must watch" list. I had heard that it was a pretty good mocumentary of otaku culture, so I gave it a look. -Story- While the story was interesting and had a great concept, it just seemed to fall flat for me. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't really that good either. It starts out with our main protangonist Kubo meeting an old friend he had in high school named Tanaka. Tanaka introduces Kubo to the otaku culture and he becomes addicted to the culture. This has some consequences on his life but he... See full review

-Story- Ultimate Girls starts out when three high school girls get killed in a giant monster fight, and they are resurrected by the "good" guy UFO Man. Unfortunately this makes UFO Man lose his powers and now the girls have to become giant monsters themselves to fight evil monsters. Personally I did not find the story to be very entertaining at all. There weren't really any high points for me in the story and I found it to be quite dull. Humor did not do much to save it, as there was only one scene that I though was funny. They also tried to put in a romance story, which had no appeal to me at... See full review

-Story- I really enjoyed the story in Angel Beats!. I loved how there were sad moments and happy momments, and how they worked together to make this story great. I enjoyed the action that the series had as well. The story is also extremely touching as you dive into the story and learn all of the backstories of the characters and find out why they are in that world. The emotion of the story felt so real, and you could feel the hurt that the characters were feeling. I also liked how Angel Beats! made me think about life and death as well as God and religion. This show has a lot to say about these things, but... See full review
