Parasyte -the maxim-

Oct 22, 2015

I will keep this short and sweet. I enjoyed this anime. It's animation is average and the pattern of the story isn't unusual or overly unique. It's a parasitic life form which tries to take over the brain and eats humans in order to live. One little parisite doesn't quite make it to the brain and so we have a human with a talking parasite as his right hand. There is plenty of blood and fighting and characters actually do die ect. The story is good, but that isn't what really drew me in. I love how the story addressed so many complex and relevant questions. I enjoyed watching two characters who saw the world...

I will admit, part of my dislike of this show was due to the fact it couldn't keep my attention constantly so I missed things and ended up with only half the story. Then again, if a story can't keep someones attention, then that is a sign it is not the best. There were parts I liked and parts I didn't. When it came to the main character, the cat girl, and the "black dog", I did pay more attention. I found that to be decent. I watched six episodes till it was 2 A.M. I wanted to find out who Shiro really was and whether he was the murderer. It kept switching to other characters and the red and blue... See full review

Anti-Magic Academy: The 35th Test Platoon

Oct 17, 2015

With only two episodes out, there isn't much to review, but I will give my two cents anyway! Although, with only two episodes, the scores I give won't be very high. (I have added my final review) The first episode kind of threw me off. The characters and parts of the story reminded me a lot of Kuusen Madoushi Kouhosei no Kyoukan which aired last season. It has a unit in a fighting force that is worse than any other, there are three girls and one guy, one girl thinks she is above everyone else and one gets nervous easily and is a little silly. The guy is the leader of the group and while Kuusen doesn't... See full review

Yona of the Dawn

Aug 22, 2015

First off, it's 2 am, so this will be a very short review and perhaps not worded the best. Skipping my resummarizing the story, because there really isn't a need, I'll go straight to my impression of it overall. It gets better at the end. The anime I mean, not my review. On one hand, they didn't rush things. At first, I didn't realize there would be a second season and I was pretty frustrated half way through thinking this was going to be some hackjob mess. The main group of characters haven't all met up half way through. It's not till the last episode of the season that the last needed character shows up... See full review

Death Parade

Aug 12, 2015

Overall it gets a 4.5, and that's mainly because the sound and animation got good scores from me, but sound and animation is not enough to make a good anime. I found this to be a rather dissappointing anime. After it recieved such high scores and seemed popular, it turned out to be a hot mess with a choppy confusing plot line, 2 dimensional characters, no clear goals or purpose, and a bunch of random events.  Each episode had it's own little story, but they didn't fit together. Some events had little to no explanation, nothing to do with what the story seemed to be about, didn't build up any... See full review

World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman

Aug 7, 2015

Overall, I thought it was a decent anime. It has a lot of faults, but I'm still hoping for a second season. I do stuggle with 12 episode animes though because I feel like most of them don't work in such a short time as well as they could if they had more time. Story- The story is a bit more complex because it doesn't take place in the real world and the setting has to be explained. I enjoy animes that take place in a made up world, but when there are only twelve episodes, it's hard give the audience a full understanding of that world. Still, they didn't do a bad job. There is a lot more they could have... See full review

Prison School

Aug 7, 2015

This show is pretty messed up, and yet I marked the date of the next episode like many other less messed up animes airing this season. Despite it's obvious turn offs and all, or perhaps because of these, it catched my interest.  While I'm not against giving a good kick in the balls to any guy who deserves it, this anime goes a bit too far. Five guys attened a previously all girls school hoping to get girlfriends and maybe a bit more. Unfortunately for them, the girls aren't interested. In fact, they pretty much ignore the existance of the guys. One night, like boys often do in anime, they decided to... See full review

Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace

Aug 6, 2015

Sadly, this is not one of the better animes this summer. The characters are odd and not easily likable, it's not written or directed well, the voice for one of the supposed main characters is weird, speaking of which, I'm not entirely sure who the main character is, and the animation is weird and kind of turned me off. The first character could almost be decent, except it's a guy with the most girlish guys voice ever who is awkward and weird and has no interest in anything until he is framed for a crime. The class rep who sticks by him the whole time is a half way decent character, but he isn't the... See full review

Snow White with the Red Hair

Aug 6, 2015

First impression, oh crap this is a Japanese anime version of Disney….. I should just turn this off right now. I mean the name itself is referencing a fairy tale but still. Well luckily, it was worth keeping on. The first episode certainly feels like it’s referencing several different movies, but it becomes its own story as it continues. Even though it doesn’t seem like it would have any good action scenes, the sword fights are pretty good. The characters begin developing early on which is nice. By the fourth episode, you have a decent understanding of the main characters. The two main... See full review

GATE

Aug 5, 2015

I started watching the series that looked most promising starting this summer and moved my way down. This wasn't on my top, and after watching the first five episodes, it's still not. That being said, WHAT IS WITH SO MANY ANIME LATELY BEING DETERMINED TO SKIP OVER A BUNCH OF TIME SEVERAL TIMES AT THE BEGINNING??!! Seriously, it wasn't the best idea to start with and it certainly doesn't need to be repeated so give me a break. Now back to the review. The anime starts off weak without a whole lot of promise. There is some random Otaku guy going to some Otaku thing when suddenly medieval looking soldiers on... See full review

Gangsta.

Aug 5, 2015

Of the anime starting this season that I've seen, I can't say this is my favorite, although I wouldn't say it's quite at the bottom. Honestly, the show isn't bad, and I did keep clicking the next episode button, however, it's lacking that pull that draws me in and makes me feel like I can't wait for the next episode to air. I feel like I can wait, and the other animes I have watched that started this season, I'm dying for their next episodes. I do think I will still finish it when it all comes out, but I'm not crazy excited for it. It's decent enough to watch, but not good enough to be one of my... See full review

Aoharu x Machinegun

Aug 4, 2015

This review is based on the first five episodes and will eventually be updated when the season is complete.  Aoharu x Kikanjuu is about a high school girl who dresses like a guy, and lets everyone believe he is a guy, joining up with a perverted manga artists and a host club guy in survival games. At first, it does feel really similar to Ouran High School Host Club. A girl dressed as a guy enters a place and destroys something. In return, she has to join a group to pay back the debt. However, after that, it's different. Actually, it's still different from the beginning. Hotaru is known as a boy at... See full review

Food Wars! Shokugeki no Souma

Aug 2, 2015

Is this going to be like an anime version of Hell's Kitchen??................ Not even close. And while I do enjoy Hell's Kitchen from time to time, I think I would rather watch this. The downside, this won't last nearly as long.  Food Wars at first didn't sound like much. If it weren't for the reviews, I might have skipped this one, or at least waited till it was finished. This is only the second anime I purposely started before at least the first season was finished. Since it's not finished, I can only review the first 17 episodes. Some of this review contains some, what I would call, mature... See full review

School-Live!

Aug 1, 2015

I’m pretty excited about this anime. Never have I started an anime before there was at least 10 episodes and that was only once. Outside of that, I wait till they are finished with at least the first season, sometimes all seasons, so I can just click next episode and watch the whole thing continuously. I was interested in this particular anime when I first saw it on the upcoming anime lists and was anticipating it. When I couldn’t think of anything else to watch today, I decided to start this anime (even though I will probably end up restarting it as soon as the season is finished) and see if it...

Riddle Story of Devil: Who Is the Winner? (Pop Quiz)

Jul 31, 2015

This episode does not really continue from where the main story left off, no big surprise there. Actually, I am not really sure where on the timeline this episode would fall. It seems to fall afterwards based on the fact that no one is even mentioning killing her for real and some other little conversations. On the other hand, they are still with the teacher and the teacher mentions he wants them to all graduate, so it would seem it's before the main story ends. I just decided it's a stand alone and doesn't actually fit in the main story timeline at all. As for what it's about, it's a game where they all... See full review

Angel Beats! Stairway to Heaven

Jul 31, 2015

I think someone confused tension with excitement since there wasn't really a lot of tension, just a lot of excitement or enthusiasm. So other than the fact that someone can't read a dictionary and understand what they read, it was good. It's a full length episode that fits somewhere in the middle of the show. The episode uses some new ideas to be funny instead of what was often used in the main series. The biggest issue I found was the animation. It's like when you try to use your camera and there is just too much light so you have this bright spot and everything else sort of fades a bit. It's interesting I... See full review

Angel Beats! Another Epilogue

Jul 31, 2015

This is the first time I actually bothered to watch a special that wasn't full episode length and certainly the first time reviewing one. If you haven't seen the series, there may be spoilers in here. There isn't much one can say about a 2 minute and 30 second video. The animation is slightly different, mainly being it's use of darker colors. I don't think Otonashi's voice is the same either.  I can't really say I liked it. The problem is it makes me question my interpretation of the ending of the series. I happened to like that interpretation. However, if this special takes place after the... See full review

Watamote: No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!

Jul 12, 2015

Waste of time.......... Seriously......why? Why did I even watch that? What is Watamote? It's a story with a beginning and no end. It's sad in a pathetic way. It is hardly even a story and certainly not worth animating and making into an anime.  Story (what little there is)- Watamote is about a first year high school student who is socially awkward and wants to get a guy to talk to her, although towards the end she just wants someone to talk to her. It's not exactly a unique story or a very interesting one unless it is done really well, which it isn't. A story has a start, a middle (climax... See full review

Girls und Panzer

Jul 10, 2015

I was pleasently surprised by this anime. It doesn't look like much and kinda sounds strange at first. I mean, why would you want to watch a bunch of girls in tanks? Because it's actually a good show! Granted, this show is only 12 episodes long, and because of that, it loses some points. It's not that I take off points for every show with less than 24 episodes, but some shows fit in 12 episodes, and others, not so much. This one tries and almost does it well, but it should have been longer. The biggest problem with this anime for me was the lack of in between stuff because it didn't fit.  The first...

Apparently, this is an aquirred taste. I've seen plenty of reviews that say it's great and funny and deserves a second season. In my opinion, it wasn't bad, but I don't see why it should be rated so high. I mean are we all watching the same D-Fragment anime? Story- Where is it going? What is the ultimate problem/conflict? Who are the characters? Why is the story wasting so much time? What is this story about? What is the storys purpose? I don't get it. The characters are undeveloped. We don't really know much about them except some random flashbacks and a bit of who they are on the surface. It's not like... See full review

Jun 22, 2015

Welcome to the NHK is....average. After reading some other reviews, I thought it might actually be really good, and granted it was a little better than any of the summaries make it sound, but it wasn't anything special. The story never really goes anywhere. When the anime starts, there are several problems the characters face. When the anime ends, it doesn't feel like those problems were really resolved. The characters are interesting to say the least but I think the writers were trying a bit too hard with them in some places. The sound was okay except the main female character was quiet and I had to turn... See full review

I don't feel like writing a long review so this will be very short. I really enjoyed this anime. It doesn't have a deep story, it doesn't exactly finish, and it is a bit cheesy and boob obsessed. Despite all that, I still enjoyed it. It's a bit funny and occasionally serious for five seconds. A guy has a crazy strong fighting mom and a strong sister, both of whom beat him up to "practice". When ever his nose would start bleeding they would stop practicing on him, so now his nose bleeds whenever a female touches him. When he accidently finds out the butler of a rich girl in school is actually a... See full review

Sound: First things first, I watched this anime dubbed online. I tried four websites and over eitght video players and they were all the same. The audio was bad on every single one and it didn't get better as the series went on. It made me want to stop watching. I don't know if the sub is just as bad or if it's better on dvd but the dubbed version online has a very unclear sound, which since this was made in 2010 and the dub was probably made in 2011 or later, the audio shouldn't be that bad.  Animation: As for the animation, it was okay.

The Pet Girl of Sakurasou

Jun 13, 2015

According to the tags, this anime is a romantic comedy slice of life anime. Between the summary and the picture, that's exactly what it appears to be. The first several episodes suggest that is what it is. It's not. There is a lot of emotion in this anime and the characters are relatable. It has it's happy moments, comedic moments, and romantic moments, but it's not really about all that.  The story starts off with a high school boy, Sorata, living in a special dorm that is seperated from the regular dorms. It's special because it's where the school puts students who are just strange or in... See full review

This anime is rather cute. I don't watch a lot of plain slice of life shows without action or something else to spice it up, but I liked this one. It has it's downsides, but it is a rather cute feel good anime. I mainly watched it because I liked the idea of watching a guy alone who knew nothing about parenting try to raise a child. I find that to be an interesting subject. I wish it had lasted a bit longer though. I've read that the rest of the story isn't as good and the ending is bad, so I guess it's better that it didn't continue.  The animation is full of pastel colors and smooth texture. It's...

Baka pretty much sums up this anime. The idea for the anime isn't really original, but that's not really an issue. This anime is stupid! Now I'm not saying it's bad, just stupid. The main characters are stupid, the story is stupid, and the idea is kinda stupid too. Basically, the school is set up so that after the first year, each student takes a placements test and are placed into classes based on their score on the test. Class A is for the highest scoring students. They have the nicest classroom (although it's hardly a classroom, more like a five star resort), the best equipment, and the teachers and...

The Devil is a Part-Timer!

I started watching this without high expectations and was pleasently surprised. It is a comedy with a good story line. I found it quite enjoyable. The humor is pretty clean and not overdone. There is a good bit of action, a small bit of magic, person in a strange world, and even a dabble of mystery. By the time I was half way through I was looking to see if there was another season, but to my dismay there is not.  The pacing of the story was better than average. Despite having two seperate battles with seperate enemies, none of it felt rushed. This show did a better job with pacing and timing than a... See full review

Well, spoiler alert, it does get explained although actually, only one of those things is explained.

This series felt weak and watery to me. (If you read my reviews, I often use the term watery. I mean it's like a watered down glass of orange juice. It's not strong and it's not as good as a normal glass.)  I'm kinda picky about stories I like. This one was interesting enough to watch when I had nothing better to watch, but it wasn't that great. The story bounces about a bit and doesn't fully explain things to start with. There isn't much to it either. The characters are in and out and the main character generally doesn't stay with another character long enough to build any kind of strong... See full review

Library War

I give this anime a 5.5 out of 10, but I did still like it. I felt it had some common problems that short animes have, mainly being lack of time to fully develop a story from start to finish. Also, I don't like how bulky the characters were. I don't mean they were fat, I mean their clothes were just bulky and made them look very rectangle and as if they had a bunch of layers on. However, it wasn't a waste of time. STORY: I used to avoid short animes because often times they either aren't able to devlop well in such a short time or they are short because no one actually finished them (which should be a sin...
