Maken-ki!

Jan 18, 2012

-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

Megane na Kanojo

Mar 13, 2011

-Story- The stories that make up this series, are a group of short romance stories, where the female protaganist always wears glasses. The individual stories were pretty entertaining to watch, as the story reveals the nature of each couples relationship. I would have to say that the stories did peak my interest. There were moments when the stories did seem cliched and predictable, but overall they seemed to avoid this. -Animation- The animation here is not that great, but its not that terrible either. The backgrounds did seem dead, and I was annoyed with the uses of stills. The characters were designed... See full review

Mitsudomoe Zouryouchuu!

Mar 5, 2011

-Story- Overall the story and jokes in Mitsudomoe Zouryouchuu were quite good, and largly keeping the spirit of the first season. In fact in some cases the jokes here were better than the jokes in the first season, as they had a wider variety of topics, and I felt that the jokes were just funnier in general. In this season we also get to explore the universe of Mitsudomoe a bit deeper, as we get to meet othere teachers, and explore the relationship between the triplets and Sugisaki and the other girls in the class. In many ways this season is an improvement and an extension of the previous season. However... See full review

MM!

Dec 30, 2010

-Story- MM! proves to have a very creative plot, and it made me laugh out loud a lot at the hilarious situations that the characters find themselves in. I found the premise to be quite funny. However I did feel that it did get repetitive with the same gags covered multiple times by Mio beating up on Torou is simular fashions quite a bit. Also there were some sequences that did not seem to fit at all in the universe of the story, especially concerning the inventions of Noa. It goes from one moment everything seems completely plausible in our world and then, blam, we have things that would never happen in a... See full review

Mitsudomoe

Sep 28, 2010

-Story-Mitsudomoe is a good comedy anime, with several hilarious jokes. There were several times when I would burst out laughing. There were some running gags, as there are in any good comedy series, but there was one that annoyed me a bit. Mitsudomoe had a tendency to rely too heavly on misunderstanding jokes where two people are having a conversation but they are talking about different subjects. One character would almost always be talking about something sexual, and the other would talk about something innocent. These kind of jokes were funny at times, but they would dominate all the jokes in parts of... See full review

My Neighbor Totoro

Jun 17, 2010

-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...

Magical Chocolate

Feb 17, 2010

-Story-Even though Magical Chocolate is extremely short, and leaves no time for development, It was generally good, even though it was a bit cliched. Its a rather simple story, and had some cliched moments in it. The magical chocolate that was given to Mami is still a bit of a mystery, and I wished it was explained more properly. The story is rather cute though.-Animation-The animation had a feel to it like it was done using cheap software, and it had a fanime feel to it. Despite this, the animation still looked reasonably well. The character's looks were rather bland, but that is probably just the style of... See full review

Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya

Feb 4, 2010

-Story-The Melancoly of Haruhi-chan has no story for the simple reason that it does not need one to be good. This anime makes its impression by using humor and charm. I liked how the humor played itself out throughout ther series. The episodes don't seem to be in any particular order, but each episode is still highly entertaining. It does make a few references to the original Haruhi series, but with this being a spin-off and not a sequel, I didn't really expect there to be much. For the most part, this series was able to capture the essence of that we fell in love with when we watched The Melancoly of... See full review

Murder Princess

Dec 4, 2009

-Story-The story in Murder Princess was very action packed and kept you on a thrill ride throughout all six episodes. However this thrill ride did have its problems, which I felt that the series needed more episodes to properly explain and portray the plot line given. I was kinda iffy about the whole cross genre aspect of the story, combining elements of fantasy, medeval, Science Fiction, and action. This may have provided a stunning story, but it did get a little too complicated. Supossedly Murder Princess takes place around 600 years after the earth was "Burned to the ground" Which I interpreted... See full review
