Chronicles of the Going Home Club

May 27, 2016

There is no story. That's why this show was so great to me. I wasn't constrained by any sort of requirement to care. The humor made me laugh damn near every time, and I often laughed hard. THIS WAS MEANT TO BE A GAG ANIME, SO RATE IT LIKE ONE. You can't use the same rating process for a drama as you would a comedy. Quit it. In my opinion, this anime is just as funny as Gintama, possibly more. That's it and that's all.

Honey and Clover II

I know I'm being extremely harsh, but you don't make such drastic u-turns on a show. You don't change a characters mannerisms to fit the story, and you certainly **spoiler** don't end the show where NO ONE is happy. This show should have ended with one couple actually being happy about it. Quite the dramatic and unfavorable end. I am powerfully grateful that season 1 and season 2 are separated. Stick to only watching season 1, because season 2 holds nothing good. The animation was still good though. so cheers to that.

Dog & Scissors

The show was not very good, to be perfectly honest. However, I was completely entertained the whole time. That's more than good enough for me. Give it a whirl if you wish. You probably won't care when it ends, but I am willing to bet that you will be entertained.

School Days

This is not a romance. This is an antiromance. This anime sent me reeling. I hate this show with a passion. Not because it was bad, but because it was very well done. You cannot fake the hatred I feel for Makoto without some well done writing behind it. Story. 8/10. This is not your normal High School life fairy tale where everyone lives happily ever after. It's more true to life, more humanistic, than most anime's I have ever seen. While the first few episodes are A) quite boring, and B) very typical of high school anime romances, it quickly devolves into a horrid, realistic look into the pains of high... See full review
