Re:ZERO: Starting Life in Another World

Dec 23, 2016

Story - The story centres around Subaru who is taken too another world and believes it is a game and initially approaches this new world as such. After finding Emilia, he makes it his issue to save her from what is going on. The plot is broken down into three sections but the method on his it overcomes being the same. The story itself isn't bad, as each challenge is different and brings its own elements to help drive the story alone. Art / animation - The animation is very good throughout the show and there is lots of detail with the spells that are used. It is overall very appealing on the eyes. ... See full review

Story - The story centres around an on going war between seven super powered clans. With a mysterious murder that takes place the war quickly spirals further out while few individuals try to uncover the identity of the murderer and what implications this may have. The main story is very appealing and makes for an enjoyable watch. With that said, the first few episodes are a bit rocky and there is a lot going on, may questions being asked and having very few answers as every episode is packed to the brim. However, (without spoiling) these questions do get answered over the course of the show. Art /... See full review

Natsume's Book of Friends

Dec 23, 2016

Story - I found the story for the show was far too simplified and with each episode following the same formula. As it being an episodic show I would expect there to be some form of plot but it was kept too light and it was all wrapped up too nicely at the end of each episode. Art / animation - This is one aspect of the show I really did like, I thought the overall animation was well done with the light colours. Sound - They music was very calming and relaxing which complemented the art / animation for this show. Characters - The characters were all fairly likely and seemed rather... See full review

Secret Santa Reviews 2015 My review will be a quote from the anime itself: “Such a turn-off”. It just felt there could have been move to it but sadly it just wasn't there for me.

No Game No Life

Dec 24, 2015

Secret Santa Reviews 2015 So the story revolves Sora and Shiro, who are two shut in NEETs who just game, get sent to a magical world where every conflict is decided by a game (which really speaking is a really humane way of sorting out conflict). The anime itself was enjoyable as long as you didn't take it seriously, otherwise it would be very poor but that was part of its charm. The characters were all interesting and fun to watch. The music wasn't bad and the animation itself was pretty good. Overall a pretty enjoyable watch and hope a second season comes out due to a cliffhanger at the end.

The Ambition of Oda Nobuna

Dec 24, 2015

Secret Santa Reviews 2015 So our protagonist Yoshiharu, who will later be known as Monkey, suddenly appears in the 16<sup>th</sup> century in a middle of a battle. With no idea how or why he is there, he bumps into Oda Nobuna. She then takes Monkey in as he knows all about Nobunagas campaign. He will use his knowledge to help her unite Japan. The animation and sound were pretty good. The characters were good and likely. All had their own reason for being interesting and helped kept a variation of characters. Overall, it was a good show but it didn't really stand out. It has it moments but... See full review

Knights of Sidonia

Dec 24, 2015

Secret Santa Reviews 2015 So the story is centred around a young man called Nagate with the last of humanity fighting an alien race the Gauna. The synopsis for the anime portrays it starting when he is younger, learning to fight and thrust into battle. However this isn't case as the story starts with him being a well establish pilot coming from a big battle. This battle (and much of the backstory) only being recalled in flashbacks. This is a big shame as they have gone through a lot and all of which looked pretty good. The story that is in the anime is very straight forward but does leave questions... See full review

Eden of the East

Dec 24, 2015

 Secret Santa Reviews 2015 The show starts with a young called Saki, who is currently on her graduation outside the White House trying to throw a coin into the fountain (and misses). She meets a strange guy who is naked and only has a phone and a gun, who is named Akira, they then find out he has no idea why he is naked as he has amnesia. This all being part of a game to “fix” Japon using his phone that has eight billion yen and can make any request. Akira then joins Saki on her trip back to Japan. The story itself rather vague and with not a lot happening in most episodes. As the anime... See full review

Parasyte -the maxim-

Dec 24, 2015

Secret Santa Reviews 2015 Was a fairly good show but does feel somewhat underdone. As the first thing I notice in the show was that the pacing was too slow for me. That it just felt like that they were dragging out some scenes that could have been done differently. The animation and the sound however were spot on. The character development also felt underdone, as there is a relationship with two of the characters that felt somewhat random and forced. Will keep my review about the story itself spoiler free, so will only be making notable comments about the story without giving away the story and... See full review

SECRET SANTA 2014 REVIEW Was looking to this show as the synopsis made it sound very good however it failed to deliver. The was going great with the over the top fights and its fast pace until it hit the back story. There was a lot of back story (seriously, so much back story). They could've had turned it into a two season anime show with the amount of back story. It would've helped the flow of the show, as they spent so much time on the back story, I preferred those characters rather than the ones on the present story and I ended up forgetting what was happening with that story. As there wasn't much... See full review

SECRET SANTA 2014 REVIEW
One of the shows that I was looking forward to the most as I have not seen that many anime horrors. However, this did seem rather disappointing to me. The first half of it just seem to be a lot of nothing. Knowing what was going and just waiting for the show to develop so the characters knew what was going on was very annoying and thus found it a bit hard to watch. Saying that however, the characters themselves were very interesting as how varied they were (especially the hair). The animating was rather good and had some nice music. Not sure why they changed the intro for... See full review

SECRET SANTA 2014 REVIEW
Found it to be very interesting and funny show. Some great characters to get be hide to either like them or hate them. Thought the music was also good. The only problem I found with this anime was when it jump back and fourth along the story. Granted that was the way it was meant to be and it did flow but it isn't something I like unfortunately.
