Tantei Team KZ: Jiken Note

Feb 26, 2016

I wanted to give this a higher score because it's entertaining enough for a short show and I like reverse harems. But it just didn't end well. I'm assuming it's done because it's been stuck at episode 16 for weeks. The characters are all kind of tropey characters, you've met them all before in other shows. The familiarity is nice when you want to sit for a couple minutes and just watch something kinda cute, but there's nothing new going on here. I think if this show had an actual end instead of just finishing a case and stopping without any decent character growth, I'd give it a 6 or so. But the way... See full review

Kuroko's Basketball: Oshaberi Shiyokka

Jan 18, 2016

This is just a bit of comedy made for the dvd release. The players sit around at a table and talk about past games, and then try to think of what else they can do or talk about for the fan disc. It's really low budget and is mostly just long pans or other techniques to minimize movement. It's amusing to listen to them make fun of themselves in a way, but if you can't track it down you aren't missing anything here.

Show By Rock!!

Jun 22, 2015

So this is kind of an embarrassing show to admit that I like. There isn't really much to the characters. The girls are all cute and the guys are mostly comic relief. I loved the music in this show! For all the bands, really. I think they did a great job with that. The weird transformation into CG SD animals was a bit off-putting but I couldn't look away and eventually it grew on me. They're super cute. I would buy figures of them which I suppose is the point. And I don't really buy figures.
There wasn't much to the story at all. I feel like that for a show that was about SAVING THE WORLD... See full review

World Fool News

I thought this was a cute show. I found the way the voices were directed to be interesting. They sounded more natural than anime usually does, more like a jdrama. I also liked the simple art style and the opening and end themes. I didn't find this was funny or wacky as the synopsis implied, and it's slice of life so not much going on, but I still enjoyed the characters and I'd probably watch S2.
