Blue Exorcist

Dec 13, 2011

Story: This series was made prematurely. It should have waited longer until it had more content to work with. It started off well but ended disappointly. I will come out and say that I am a fan of the manga and I was sad to see that it turned out like this. I liked the idea but it just didn't come through. It wasn't awful though and it was fun. I would like a second season but, with the way it ended, I doubt it. As a whole, the series is ok. Just ok.  Animation: I really liked the animation. I liked the character designs and the backgrounds. It was colorful and vibrant but dark and sinister when it... See full review

Bunny Drop

Dec 13, 2011

Story: Never knew slice of life could be so realistic and beautiful. There is little overdramatic or surprising that happens throughout the series. It's simply about a man in his 30's getting a daughter who is 6. It's heart warming, and cozy feeling. Episodes just fly by without needing to much fluff or drama. It's just the both of them settling in with each other and slowly opening up. One of the most endearing relationships I have seen in an anime. You can't not be happy after watching an episode. Animation: I loved the style of the series. It's definitely different and has a watercolor look to it. I... See full review

Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts 2

Dec 13, 2011

Story: A less funny verision of the first season. It had it's good points but not enough of them.  Animation: Same as season 1. Sound: Same as season 2. The opening and endings actually grew on me. Characters: Become more annoying as the series progressed. Overall: Alright but season 1 was better.

Blood-C

Dec 13, 2011

Story: This is one of the first series that I completely started anew with. Every week was the only new information I got about Blood-C. I finally understood what people mean when they say a series is slow. Waiting every week for something new to happen can be frustrating. That being said, Blood-C started of with a formula. Saya's journey to the cafe, school, and then the last couple of minutes was a fight with an Elder's Brain. The next couple of episodes felt the same with a little bit of information. Finally, things picked up. Things were getting mysterious, strange and outlandish. I was intrigued... See full review

Baccano!

Aug 15, 2011

Story: For a story that consisted of several parts and characters, it came together very well. All the pieces fit together that kept you guessing until the last moment. There weren't several loose ends (even shows with a few characters, one plot, and 20+ episodes can't pull this off) and left you wanting more only because the journey was so great that you want to do it all over again. Baccano! tells it's story with style and plenty of humour. I wasn't expecting to be laughing so much and enjoying the story as much as I did (I don't do well with complicated stories because I become confused easily). Baccano... See full review

Black Butler 2

Aug 1, 2011

Story: Season one was disappointing so I intetionally did not intend on watching season two. However, I read the manga (which is actually good) and I missed seeing Sebastian. Therefore, I decided to watch season II. I should have known better. The plot is scattered and haphazard. It felt like it was all over the pace and pacing was not good to say the least. I had low expectations to start out and it didn't even meet those. The positive aspects of season one was the dark humour and interesting premise (although it fell flat). This didn't have much humour and the premise was....mediocre compared to the... See full review

Black Butler

Nov 30, 2010

Plot: A very promising premise but I felt it disappointed a little. The beginning of the series felt very episodic with only a few flashbacks and bits that hinted toward a solid plot. The second half delivered a lot more but I felt was confusing. Much is not said explicitly so you have to think about it. Surprisingly, there is a lot of fanservice. Although not explicit ecchi, there is a lot especially with Ciel and Sebastian. That disappointed me because I felt that there could have been much stronger relationship if there wasn't the hints of shota. The episodic beginning didn't kill the series for me... See full review

Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts

Jul 30, 2010

Story: Baka and Test lacks in the plot department. However, it doesn't lend itself to having a deep and profound plot. It's full of running gags and comedy and it does well in both aspects. It's incredibly funny and the gags don't really get old. They're humorous from the beginning to the end. I laughed a lot and I would watch it again. It's light and funny and doesn't give you too much to think about other than how enjoying it is to watch. Some elements are recycled and, although it had little plot, I thoroughly enjoyed it and had fun watching it. Animation: Other than the weird polka dot... See full review

Bleach: The Sealed Sword Frenzy

Jun 17, 2010

Story: This was very reminiscent of the bount arc in bleach to me. The illogical decisions that were made baffled me throughout this OVA which include: Renji using a human gun on a Baishin, the Soul Society's decision to send 5 captains and Soifon out to fight this guy, the captains decide to fight hollows while letting Rukia, Renji, and Ichigo battle Baishin, and then the explanations at the end. Those were just a few of parts that made me angry. However, there was lots of comedy including the special ending which I loved. So all of it wasn't a fail but a majority of it was. Animation...

Bleach: Memories in the Rain

Feb 12, 2010

For Bleach fans, this OVA definitely made up for the episodes in the anime. The anime completely ruined the whole Grand Fischer vs. Ichigo thing. The OVA is basically like Bleach without the filler. For non-Bleach fans, I wouldn't recommend it b/c the background and storyline would be confusing.
