Clannad

Oct 12, 2011

I would call this primarily a drama, with comedy in it, not a harem or ecchi. This is legit. SO legit. Do not watch this unless you are legit, do not watch this if you can't handle anime on a serious level, return to your mediocrity and resume watching anime without substance or a deeper meaning. Now that we have that out of the way lets start with visuals. Beautiful. The best anime I have ever EVER orver seen! So legit. The little details, the skills transitions, the little manouvers they put so much effort into creating but use only when absolutely neccessary as not to ruin the experience. The little...

School Days

Sep 25, 2011

School days. Very lighthearted title. This anime however isn't so lighthearted. What's great about this anime is the way it breaks foundations. It begins as a fairly ordinary anime and will proceed not as you expect it, WHICH WILL UPSET MANY PEOPLE. Not everybody is used to such strange turn of events, main characters the audience may not find appealing and events happening as they would in real life, not as you'd expect them to in all the other happy animes that are out there. Animation looks good and sound is fine, opening theme is fairly nice. The music has good moods that occompany it but you'll begin... See full review

Read Or Die TV

Sep 11, 2011

Excellent. Now that we've established that... Read or die follows three sisters and an popular author. The author looks for an old friend and continues to write. The three sisters are paper masters, this basically means they can manipulate paper to do awesome crazy stuff (think green lantern except he needs lots of paper and the skills to manipulate it properly). During the story the sister will randomly have their own episodes where they go on missons, these seem random but hold purpose later. Characters. Are great! Real, authentic, believeable and honest. Most mesh well together but the ones that... See full review

Eden of the East

Jul 8, 2011

Story: Man finds himself naked holding a gun outside the whitehouse. (Minor spoilers) later finds out he is given 10 billion yen in order to change japan into a better place. Animation is smooth, no problems or anything to outline here. Sound: I really like the ending theme and the video with it is very creative. Characters are good, I like them, very diverse and actually pretty close to normal! Overall it's a good anime, rather  short, ending leaves things to be desired, environment and the overarching idea around the whole anime are excellent. 8.3 this is quite different and worth watching...

The Sacred Blacksmith

Jul 8, 2011

Story: Our main character is a knight. The actual plot doesn't show up until the anime is nearing the end. The plot for that matter isn't anything super extraordinary, demons, bad stuff, magic swords to seal them so they don't kill everybody. The animation is smooth, clean, and legit. Sound/Music: I love the ending theme if only for lisa tripping and falling. Anyways, the sounds and music are what you'd expect, nothing groundbreaking here. Characters: The best part. The princess will probably get on your nerves but don;t worry about that. Our protagonist, Cecily Cambell (You'll remember the name, she... See full review

This anime is fantastic. Okay, for those still reading lets dive into this review! There are certain patterns I see in a lot of anime's that I am sick of seeing, and I get sad when an anime falls into these patterns but somethimes they manage to break free, which makes me oh so happy. Pattern number 1: guy accidentally wanders into a bad place, gets killed, resurrected, and then joins forces with who ever saved him. Pattern number 2: Girl moves in with guy, que sexual tension Pattern number 3: Give protagonist awesome powers, make each episode stand alone and have him always with with these powers These...

Amatsuki

Pretty neat concept, pretty bad anime in reality. Music/sound is nothing memorable, characters are nice and intriguing. Story gets confusing and doesn't acutally end. Has some sweet background stuff and kinda messes around with myth's in a fun way. taking that all into account, this isn't a great anime, actually you probably shouldn't watch it.

Afro Samurai Resurrection

Jun 16, 2011

*Please see my review for afro samurai becasuse it's mostly the same thing* Take the afro samurai show, end it and then bring it back in the bloodbath that is afro samurai resurrection. This installment now includes Lucy Lu (sorry if that is spelt wrong) is the english dub version. This is a great anime to ease people into anime with if they aren't already fans. This is, exactly what you'd expect if you've seen the first, only slightly better, it succeeds is what it tries to do, which is fast stylized combat and fat beats to back it up. It's a fun watch, grab some friends and enjoy, for any other info... See full review

Afro Samurai

Jun 16, 2011

One of the best animes for getting new people into anime. It's overly stylized visual aspect tends to capture the attention of people normally pushed away from anime, the Samul l Jackson english dub also gives newbies a familiar voice to grab onto and feel more comfortable, and finally the western influenced music (mostly rap, i think da rizza or however you spell that, did the soundtrack) connects everything while maintaining solid background noise. The story is fairly weak, but the animation and sound/music are enough to make up for it. Characters aren't horrible and ninja ninja is... See full review

Tsukuyomi -Moon Phase- Special

Jun 1, 2011

See review for Moon Phase, this is an ova, it is however an ova that is better then possibly every episode in the anime, but you may not understand it or the jokes unless you see the anime, it's a good way to top off the series. Silly and funny. It's fairly enjoyable.

Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase

Jun 1, 2011

Story: Annoying vampire girl starts living with her slave, plot comes in later and changes when necessary, changes are pretty smooth. Animation: Pots falling from the sky all the time. Everything else is nothing too spectacular. Sound: Opening song will grow on you a little. Outro is better, and has a neat french version. When setting changes drastically the music does too, this is done well. Characters: Mostly annoying, character development changes them but it takes a long time and they revert slightly. Overall: I must offer praise to the way it doesn't follow ordinary structure. (Minor Spoilers) The... See full review

Resident Evil: Degeneration

Jun 1, 2011

Story: Zombies and big corperations and guns and stuff! Animation: Very different than the normal stlye you expect from anime, It pretty much looks like one big cut scene from resident evil 5. Sound: Sets the mood and follows it well. Characters: Leon S Kennedy is a bad ass. Probably the only dude I can think of that can pull off that dreamy swoopy emo boy hair cut. Don't mess with him. Clare Redfield is some pretty sweet back up for him too Overall: Very few things like this, if anything it's fun to watch because it is so different. Sweet action and animation! Worth watching! Give it a shot!

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea

Jun 1, 2011

HAM! Story: Interesting. Yeah, interesting is the correct word. Pretty different, and odd but cool! It's intriguing and you may be a little confused at times but you still want to keep watching and find out. Animation: Looks good, no complaints here. Sound: Nothing super fantastic.  Characters: Most of the main characters and character development are within children, so make of that what you will Overall: It is a good watch, in my opinion not worth buying but intesting and creative, innovative and artisitc, a pretty fun watch.

Ninja Nonsense

Jun 1, 2011

Delightful. Story: Practically zero story, this is a comedy, you don't watch it for the story. Animation: No blatent flaws, anime always uses the it to its strengths for wacky funny reasons. Sound: I can still hear the menu screen bouncing around in my head. Pretty neat, nothing much past that in terms of music design, however the sounds are always spot on. Characters: They are the real Comedy. They always work off of each other and use one another for jokes, this works really well. Overall: Its Delightful plain and simple. A good o'l wacky anime filled with some cute moments and comedy to... See full review

Devil May Cry

Jun 1, 2011

Story: Most of the anime isn't connected, it works as stand alone episodes, a sort of monster-of-the-week feel to it. It's barely related to the video game series, mostly only the characters and the setting Animation: Pretty smooth, follows the style of the game aka fast moves very stylized visuals and effects. Sound: What you'd expect, some guitars and the occational sick lick Characters: Possibly the best part of the series. Having played all games (1-4 at this point in time) I am familiar with the characters so it is nice to see them all again. Most aren't around for that long. It's primarily Dante... See full review

Nyan Koi!

May 31, 2011

Story: Girls want guy, guy wants girl that is clueless, guy is cursed by cats and can hear them speak. Take the typical harem formula and add cats is basically it. Animation: Legit. Adorable cats, some sweet effects, expressions always spot on, comical style is done super well and highlights what is necessary. Sound: I really like the intro, not only the sound but also the actual happenings. The outro is better than most too but isn't as glorious. (Sidenote, amazing amv called never wanted to dance, worth watching) Characters: Sometimes annoying, usually not so. Not very original but not too close to... See full review

Fire Emblem

May 19, 2011

Lets start off with the biggest issue here, it's two episodes long, and is really the start of something that never was given a true opportunity, SO, we take the game Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon and make a two-part anime series about it, which means you must cram all the introductions and endings of whats happening into two episodes, and because that can't be accomplished with something as colossal as Fire Emblem, it just...kinda sits there... I watched this as of 2011, and it was born in 1996, so its pretty dated, the animation is a little shotty but that is to be expected from that time, I do however think... See full review

Samurai Champloo

Jan 26, 2011

This is best suited for people who don't watch anime much, I've gotten quite a few friends into this who normally stay away from anime. Its really easy to jump in anywhere and enjoy. I would call this afro samurai before afro samurai. The stroy isn't that important (until the end) most episodes are stand alone. Some are wacky, which is important to take all the pressure off of the action, which brings me to my next point. The best action I have EVER seen in an anime! Smooth, well thought out, fast, and very visually appealing.  The music is very important to the flow of the anime and... See full review

Gungrave

Jan 26, 2011

One of my personal favorites. I do reccomend skipping the first episode, its makes things a little confusing and gives away some of the story. This anime has a mobster, type of feel for probably 2 3rds of the anime. The characters are great, the story is great, the character development, at times can feel jarring! Towards the end it has more of a supernatural feel. Please please watch, great action, great great great character relationships and development, and drama included. 9/5/10

Elfen Lied

Jan 26, 2011

Powerful. More than once my jaw dropped. Sadly enough its only 13 episodes but an amazing 13. There is not just blood and gore (although there is a lot) there is also some drama and other elements that help balance the anime. 

If you have an open mind, please please watch, i don't want to ruin anything, so I won't be saying anything else. If blood doesn't bother you watch this immediately and enjoy. One of my absolute favorites! 9.5/10

This Ugly Yet Beautiful World

Jan 25, 2011

Its alright...and that about sums it up. It feels a bit nostalgic, like an anime from they 90's, which includes all of the cliches and problems of back then. The sound and animation is standard I suppose. Most the characters I can't stand, the main character has nothing going for him, and when something shows up for him to protect, he suddenly gains the motivation to spend every once of energy forever protecting her, because she most obvious needs it. Its mostly drama, with some action between huge monsters and the hyper powered main character. Anyways, its okay, feel free to skip.

Shining Tears X Wind

Jan 25, 2011

Before we start... one of the worst titles I have ever encountered. OK, characters, paper thin, no depth no emotion, its like this for our main character, "I'm a good guy and don't do bad things." Actually at one point the main character changes and trys to show everyone they can be mature and solve problems when working together, this is good, but he kinda shows it off like, "look at me, i'm better, so hurry up and change." The person most relatible was a robot (however they did her relationship really well!)

When i started this i had high expectations, the first half of the... See full review

GANTZ

Jan 25, 2011

Let me explain a little, my friend threw this on my harddrive, I knew nothing about it, other than it had some noteriety. My other friend and I were hanging out and he wanted to watch some anime, we started it, and finished all of it that night and the next day, we couldn't stop watching. Also, note, this anime is for more mature audiences, has nudity and lots of blood/gore. Gantz...is... amazing. Let me start with praise, this anime does things animes (and every other media) are afraid to do. Without giving away spoilers, it takes an interesting approach that other medians of media are afraid to do... See full review

Zombie-Loan

Jan 25, 2011

First thing you'll notice, its short, (or if you're a big nerd like me the real First thing you'll noticed is that square enix was backing this anime). After that, you'll be busy trying to get a grip on the characters and then they throw you into the action, which as you'll find out, has a bit of a twist (which is strange but i like it). So to keep this review short, characters are neat but a little paper thin, its short, HAS POTENTIAL, looks nice, if you want a little action, some small plot holes (maybe they'll be answered in time) and some zombie action (doesn't exactly mean what you think)...
