Dream Eater Merry

Jul 11, 2011

Story: The concept of dream and dream demons was very interesting. I liked the idea and adding a cute heroine definitely made things better. However, it just didn't deliver as well as I would have liked. They had a good thing going but the ending felt so complete. They added all these undeveloped bits that I wonder why they added them in the first. What was the point of mentioning the romance or introducing certain ideas if they won't be carried out? The ending was mediocre at best leaving many unanswered questions. It had good ideas and theme along with some cuteness and humour but that wasn't enough. The... See full review

Deadman Wonderland

Jul 10, 2011

Story: I'm usually not much for gore but I was really interested in this series for some reason. It starts of with a very interesting premise with Ganta going to the prison Deadman Wonderland for a crime he doesn't commit. It continues the madness and insanity through all the episdoes. The pacing is great without an episode of filler or a dull moment. There is a great amount of shock factor after a simply calm and almost happy moment. However, the finale leaves MUCH to be desired. It is definitely banking on a second season because there are SO many questions that are left untold along with many people's... See full review

Darker than Black

Jun 27, 2011

Story: I really liked the concept and pacing of the series. It didn't go too fast but not too slow either. It usually consisted of 2 episode long stories with some events in each that dealt with the bigger picture. However, I am disappointed with the ending. I felt there were too many things left unanswered and vague. The explanation for what happened in the past was also unclear. The plot did have some predictable moments but there were more surprises to balance it out. Although for the most part, I really enjoyed the series. It was pretty dark but it always had a light side to balance it such as the... See full review

Dance in the Vampire Bund

Nov 15, 2010

Story: Dance in the Vampire Bund just tried to put too many things and genre into one. It was romance, comedy, action, drama, political, loli, supernatural without enough in each to make something solid. I feel like it could have potential because it is an interesting take on supernatural creatures but I ended the series wishing that it had more or it could have been blended better. I'm not much of a fan of the whole pedophilia thing (I know that she's like centuries old but she's still in the body of a 12 year old so it's a little creepy along with the relationship of the student council president and her...

Durarara!!

Sep 13, 2010

Plot: Durarara!! is one the more unique animes that I have seen. I haven’t seen an anime with the same feel as Durarara!!. At first it seem like there were a lot characters and a lot of things going on. However, as the episodes continued, I was able to see how these minor events connected together and how the city of Ikebukuro can be both big and small at the same time. I loved the first arc. There were some flaws with the slasher arc (or I just didn’t understand it). I also really enjoyed the ending. For the most part, things were well paced and I never got bored. Also, surprisingly...

Dragon Ball

Feb 1, 2010

Story: For starters, in my book, Dragon Ball is a classic. I definitely prefer it to DBZ. It lacks the five episodes dedicated to one power up and unfathomable power levels (do they even make numbers that big). Dragon Ball is fun and interesting with plenty of humor. For sure, this anime is for comedy and action lovers. The battles aren't drawn out and can be pretty unexpected. There are some inconsistencies and the ending fell a little flat which is why this score isn't higher; however, all and all, 150 episodes and I wasn't bored. Animation: Since Dragon Ball is an older...

Death Note

Jan 31, 2010

Story: If I had to give rating for the first arc, it would be a 10. If I had to give a rating for the second arc, it would be about an 8.5. If I had to give a rating to the 3rd arc, it would be about a 4. Death note started out really great but towards the end it killed it. The third arcs characters and story line fell flat especially compared to the first half. The ending was not fitting at all (I preferred the manga's ending). Also, although the second arc was still great, it somewhat copied the first arc. All in all, Death Note's story had so much potential and didn't quite come through all the way... See full review
