The Tale of the Princess Kaguya

Mar 21, 2018

Japanese folk tale: The Tale of Princess Kaguya, made by Studio Ghibli. Story is quite minimalistic as is expected from a story made in 1592. Animation is gorgeous brush-like and as good as you'd expect from Studio Ghibli. Sound is great and fit's that historical setting. Characters are good, especially Ouna and even though she didn't speak much, the round maid.

B: The Beginning

Mar 18, 2018

B: The beginning is named such, for it ends on a cliffhanger. The first episode fools you into thinking that this is a show about solving crimes, but it's actually a show about a mentally insane serial killer, prophesy of a black winged king and people created to be weapons. My only real problem with the show, is that the diary should have been handled better: It's presented to the viewer on episode 6, it's shown to be missing 3 pages on episode 6, Koku is shown to be in posession of said 3 pages on episode 6 and Keith gets the 3 pages from Koku on episode 6. The 3 pages should have been shown at episode... See full review

Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody

Mar 17, 2018

Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody is about a game developer who get's transported into a world that is similiar to the two games he is currently developing and becomes stupid high level almost instantly and his adventures with his harem, which consists of girls he has no interest for. Hey look at that, an UI you can use with your mind, I wonder why a certain other game anime uses hand gestures? The way magic incantation is implemented is cool, because it uses a different language than what Ichirou has learned, it sounds like sped-up machine talk. Slavery is bad, but since this different world... See full review

Restaurant to Another World

Mar 16, 2018

Isekai Shokudou is an interesting take on the another world genre. Firstly rather than having an overpowered character and emphasis on combat, the "Protagonist" is an unnamed man simply know as Master and you can essentially consider the Nekoya restaurant as the main character. Second, the another world is not the fantasy world but ours and the visitors are from the other world. The show has it's flaws, like pretty bad animation when it comes to fast movement and general lack of character developement aside from who is of what race and what's their favorite food and suffers from narrator...

Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, Aren't They? OVA

Mar 13, 2018

Swimsuit/Hotspring fanservice episode for Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, Aren't They?, oh and I suppose there's also a Gift Game and throwaway subplot about slavers just so the episode can have the tiniest amount of combat. As per usual, INSERT YOUR NAME HERE protagonist comes up with the solution to the Gift Game halfway through the episode and only reveals it towards the end, while other party members waste their time. Thoughts: Story? Don't worry about it, this but a fanservice episode. Animation is good. Sound is good. Characters get no further developement and are exactly the same as... See full review

Re:Creators

Mar 12, 2018

Prepare yourself for 90% exposition and 10% action. -Slight spoiler warning- Show feels quite padded, lot's of exposition and telling not showing, show would probably have worked better if it was around 13 episodes, perfect example is how preparations for the Bird Cage takes 3 episodes, when 1 episode would have achieved the same results. Souta is a pretty weak protagonist, but I suppose that's the point since he is a spectator, that is until only his idea works and saves the world. There's many deus ex machina moments, such as: Selesia instantly knows how to drive a car, even though cars don't exist in... See full review

Aho-Girl

Mar 10, 2018

Stupid girl, stupid show, stupid fun. Yoshiko is so dumb it's not even funny and the reactions and interactions of the other characters make this show watchable. Dogo is best character and best girl doesn't even get a name and is just called Fuuki Iinchou = Morals commitee president... :( Thoughts: Story is ok, Animation is good and the motorbike scene is especially memorable, Sound is good and Characters aside from Yoshiko are fun and nice.

Time of Eve

Mar 8, 2018

What makes an android? Are androids any different from humans? Eve no Jikan is a cafe where such questions come naturally and the line between human and android all but disappears. Thoughts: Story is good, Animation is good but the camera occasionally shakes pretty badly, Sound is good and Characters are good and the androids are more human than some humans from other shows.

Record of Grancrest War

Mar 3, 2018

Sigh, here we go again once more unto the CHAOS. TL;DR No shame in skipping this one, if you have seen one LN anime with combat and magic/other and war, you have seen this. Grancrest opens not on war, but the two factions coming to terms through a marriage, naturally we first have to show the heroine running to barely make it to the ceremony and she hints that she is an elite by complaining why she has to make the peace speech, cut to her barely getting there and suddenly CHAOS which only she can sense and she tries to stop the couple walking doen the aisle through some very bad dialogue and then proceeds...

Ushio and Tora TV

Mar 2, 2018

90's mangafor children adapted into 90's anime for children, in 2015... Feels like 1 to 1 adaption, doesn't take full advantage of being an animation, pacing is pretty bad and a lot of events happen off screen. In my opinion this could have been modernized easily and the episode count could have been halved. Thoughts: Story is ok but strays a lot, Animation is good, Sound is ok but is plain missing at times and Characters are average but sometimes annoying and stupid.

Code Geass: Akito the Exiled

Feb 28, 2018

Fake Code Geass: Everyone gets a happy ending, but they ruined Lelouch So there are a few Geass users, but Geass doesn't work like it did in the original anime and there are a few plot holes that should make the events of Code Geass S2 impossible, like how the antagonist figures out Lelouch is Zero and exposes that to a room full of nobles and that story line goes nowhere from there. Suzaku and Lelouch make an appearance, but are then but into a cell for the rest of the show, because the writers couldn't actually involve them in the story because they were in this show only for fan service and Seoson 2 of...

The King's Avatar

Feb 27, 2018

Quan Zhi Gao Shou works as an anime, fails as a game. Many a times Glory feels like a vr game rather than a traditional mouse and keyboard one. Sometimes it's apm based, others it's skill based and then it just functions as a plot device so that Ye Xiu can look badass. A look into what happens when you mix money and gaming and why progaming maybe shouldn't be a thing in it's current form. It's also super exciting to watch Ye Xiu solo everything and micromanage his party members when he plays in a party. Sponsored by McDonalds, the show goes as far as using blank bottles/cans but regularly shows real... See full review

Saitama is the strongest hero, maybe even the strongest being and thats cool because it gets rid of the power escalation and besides Genos and others are the true stars of the show.

Onihei

There is no objective good and evil here, only gray. Hasegawa Heizou is though but fair in dispensing justice, his charisma winning over many a criminal. Swordplay, crime and human emotions come together to create an enjoyable story with lots of ups and downs. Thoughts: Story is interesting and each episode deals with a different case, Animation is good but most extras/background characters are CG, Sound is good, Characters are good and feel like real people.

No Game No Life: Zero

Feb 24, 2018

6000 years before the events of the show, the story how humanity fought and how Disboard became what it is in the show. The movie has serious moments, but also humor and emotion are present and feel familiar to the show. I cried, I laughed and I cheered. This is a good movie. Thoughts:Story is good, Animation is excellent, Sound is good and Characters are basically ancestors/past lives of the cast from the show, which I say as a good thing.

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

A story about a girl who is so unpopular that no one even notices her most of the time, and she keeps blaming all but herself for that and half-heartedly tries to change for the better. Motoko is simply not a very good character, in a way she is interesting sure, but from the flashbacks we can see that she used to be a good and nice person, but the show has no intentions of telling us what happened for her to change so much. I kept hoping that she would find happiness, but unfortunately that does not happen. Thoughts Every aspect of the show is pretty much average The best episode is 11 and the best... See full review

A woman confined to an island invites geniuses to visit and spend time with her, but this time there is a murderer amongst them. Not a good mystery show, there is mystery sure, but the audience is not given enough information to solve it (perhaps someone who has read/watched mystery stories before could) and the show is more like Monogatari series with 100% less combat and the same amount of dialogue, as a bonus Akio Watanabe designed the characters. Thoughts Story is a simple murder mystery, but actually is not as it is revealed in the last episode Animation is good and reminds one of Monogatari... See full review

A crazy roller coaster ride that explains nothing, but leaves you wanting more. Koto(human) is stuck in a different world, where youkai, gods and the like are real, and to get back home she needs to find a rabbit, of course a normal rabbit is not enough and she teams up with two youkai boys to wreak havoc around the city of Kyoto. Thoughts Story is a mystery at this point Animation is good and interesting Sound is good There really is nothing to say about the characters, we only get to see the base of each one and will have to watch the sequals to find out more.
