If you came here like I did for a music anime, this is not it.  Yes, it has music in it, but mostly just as a way to connect the protagonists as it takes a backseat to the Romance genre.  I don't usually get involved in romance anime, but by the time I realized that Romance/Drama were the primary genres (with music taking the back seat), I was too curious about what would happen next to stop. -- Story The majority of the story is a weird love polygon, though certainly not as weird as something such as Ranma 1/2.  Sure, it starts out nice and simple with a setting in 1966: ...

I stumbled upon this when browsing through some Danganronpa discussions (as the game this anime was based off of was made by Spike Chunsoft, the same company). This has an interesting premise, but...wow, what a letdown. So, this is the area where I usually break an anime down into the categories ("Story/Plot", "Characters", and "Overall"), but there's just so little to go off of that I'm going to have to break the format of my own reviews for this one. The reason? Each "episode" is only about five mintues long. Yes, you heard right; excluding the intro song... See full review

I'll admit; I saw this five episode OVA series after I had already watched seasons 1-3.  However, it was still entertaining, though that just made the two-parter easier to predict.  After I saw the OVA, I felt that season three is somewhat of an expansion of the two-parter which had introduced the king of Small Shimeron. Again, docked points from the animation.  Not because of lack of quality, but because of disappointing fight scenes.  Though I learned from the first three seasons that Kyo Kara Maoh isn't exactly the go-to anime for good fight scenes, the necessary ones are over in a...

Going into the final season from the hodge-podge way the first 78 episodes were done (seasons 1 and 2), I didn't know what to expect.  What I saw, however, was heads and shoulders above the first two seasons. There were still a couple things that made me dock a point from the Overall score, but otherwise, everything was enjoyable to watch. Plot Having surpassed the Shinou, Yuri can travel back and forth between worlds freely.  There are still unknowns surrounding the human lands of Big Shamaron, but peace seems to have come. At least, until a group established 2,000 years ago suddenly... See full review

I enjoyed this anime, but couldn't rate it any higher than what I gave it (especially with how frustrating some of its negative aspects presented themselves in later episodes).  Also, I actually gave a rating on sound, which was based off of the soundtrack (I saw the sub version, and the voice acting was fine).  There was one episode which had an annoying high-pitched whistling in it to simulate a Western atmosphere, but the whistling was so grating that I had to cover my ears; good thing for the subtitles!  Good anime, but very predictable, especially for anyone who has seen fantasy animes...
