I picked this up half out of boredom and half out of trying to find a hidden gem; this was most certainly not the latter. -- Story There's a plotline in here somewhere...perhaps three of them.  The first plotline revolves around the police's Division 5, Unit 8 which uses some sort of unexplained technology called "Will Wear", which pretty much takes a person and puts them directly as a mecha instead of having to pilot one.  Of course, this means that the mecha are all human-sized for the most part.  A new member is sent directly from the police headquarters to...

Wait...you're telling me it's possible to have a romance-genre anime/movie with teenagers which isn't cringey?  Apparently so, as this is probably one of the better anime movies I've seen lately. -- Story Middle school student Miyo Sasaki, aka "Muge", is a cheerful girl on the outside to always hide how she truly feels; that she doesn't feel like she belongs with her father and step-mother, or that her actual mother ever loved her.  Rather, she feels nobody can or will ever love her... ...except for her classmate, Kento Hinode.  She acts out and doesn't seem to care about...

The prosecution is ready to present its case for the review of the Ace Attorney anime! ...though actually, things focus on the defense side of things in both the anime and the games.  A slight warning I'd give to folks is that, since the anime covers cases (sans "Rise from the Ashes") in the first two games ("Ace Attorney" and "Justice for All"), there will be heavy spoilers. So if you plan on playing the games and want to figure things out for yourself instead of having the major points spoiled, you might want to put this anime on the backburner until you finish those...

For anyone wondering, limbo is apparently a Japanese high school. ...at least, that's the world of Angel Beats! for teenagers who had regrets when they died. - Story Otonashi wakes up to find himself sprawled out on the pavement between a school building and a girl with a rather bulky sniper rifle of sorts.  In her sights is a single girl, whom she claims is an "Angel" and thus...the enemy. Though Otonashi refuses to get involved with her level of crazy, he soon confronts Angel and finds out that, yes, they're all dead (and thus, can't die).  Roped into joining the Afterlife...

For all the recommendations and hype surrounding this, I started to get bored at around episode 20 (I did finish watching it, but there were a chunk of uninteresting episodes).  It's not a bad seires, but situations often get repetitive in the middle. Story Young Sara Crewe stays at a boarding school in London after living in India with her father for years.  Though her father returns to India to look into a diamond mine, Sara remains.  Despite all the money Sara has, she isn't stuck up or egotistical, but rather kind-hearted.  However, disaster strikes on her birthday which flips her...
