Freezing Vibration pretty much picks up where season 1 left off. And I was looking forward to this one because of how intense the first season was. The premise is 5 of the girls from last season head to Alaska to study the E-Pandora. So, naturally I was expecting another season with great storytelling and some good old action. However it did not live up to expectations. Most of the storytelling is limp, with the three arcs pretty much shoved in against each other, like an impact wisdom tooth. The first arc is the E-Pandora arc, which had really nothing wrong with it. Amelia had a solid backstory and the... See full review

This anime is so underrated, it hurts some say. Well I say it is very much so. I finished it and enjoyed how it was executed. Each episode (like 'em or not) had a purpose on explaining how Michiko and Hatchin need each other.  The story really hit home. The leads, Satoshi and Atsuko all had good backstories and less importantly the music and animation were pretty good. Though I'm not a fan of manglobe's character designs they do pace things well. I knew how Hiroshi was gonna turn out and I was less than surprised when what happened, happened. It made me laugh what Hatchin said about it though. Though... See full review

Honestly, I don't like Queen's Blade: Rebellion. It was an unecessary addition to the story and hardly contributed anything. Leina's been pretty much completely erased from the story with the exception of like one cameo. So we have a new protagonist named Annolette, who people think is a guy, but is actually a girl. Things went south pretty quickly with a butt ton of characters being introduced and almost none of them being developed properly. The only characters who hold any importance from the first series are Elina and Ymir. Other than that everyone else has pretty much vanished with the exception of a... See full review

You know, this is similar to the last 12 episodes of Death Note for several reasons. 1. They were both added in for the sake of Madhouse milking the series dry. 2. They both have dissatisfying cop out endings. 3. They both represent the nadir of each series both narratively and character-wise. Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail is like one of those extra things you add in. It feels like it's gonna be good, but when you delve in it fails to deliver. This is one of those. I was much expecting this series to do some good for the anime after Second Barrage turned out to be a disappointment for being... See full review

After finally finishing this show, it's time I give my two cents. I liked it. It turned out to be a rather told well and paced well in it's beginning with brilliant characterization and a well crafted protagonist in Yusuke Urameshi. It really showed that fighting anime CAN do well. It's english dub was very consistent and the dialogue matched well. However, there were some flaws such as the love interest between Yusuke and Keiko which proved to be rather boring. I honestly don't know what Yusuke saw in Keiko. It seemed like she either was there to be a nag or keep Yusuke on a leash. Her english voice was... See full review

Sailor Moon was by far one of the oddest anime I've ever watched. Well, here goes. I really liked this anime. I actuallt used to hate it (I was watching the old dub and didn't know any better). After seeing the horrid Cartoon Network version that made 4kids One Piece look like gold, it made me get the hell out of dodge. But a few years later, I gave it another chance when it was redubbed in 2014 and I liked it. It really had a likable protagonist (despite her utter lack of courage... and brains). The story was really well paced and it gave every main character a proper introduction and backstory. The main... See full review

I found this season to be even better than the first season and the first season twas beautiful. This season focuses on Issei finding out about some excalibur swords and the backstories of Kiba and Akeno (although to a lesser extent). It also introduces Gasper one of the best characters ever, Xenovia. It was truly amazing to see how much the characters have going for them, it adds to their charisma and the humor is absolutely spectacular. Issei might as well be the joke of the series because his english dub voice is magnificent, like the voice actor is genuinely happy with voicing him. If you don't like... See full review

Okay, so this anime really had a so-so first season, but this was overall an improvement. The visuals were beautiful, the story between the fights was magnificent with little to no disappointment at all, some of the characters were really amazing and the interactions between some of those said characters were actually well executed. That being said, it did have it's flaws. First off, the fights were overall boring (with the exception of Leina's fight with Aldra) as most of them involved a bunch of idiotic dialogue and anti-climactic win tactics that ruin the atmosphere. Second, some of the characters really... See full review

You know, this anime is a lot similar to Fairy Tail 1) They both are highly overrated and continue to spawn disgusting remakes and/or live-action versions. 2) They both waste a beautiful premise. Death Note had to be by far one of the most disappointing anime I've ever seen. It started out brilliant with Light and L clashing to see who would prevail in a cat and mouse game of evil genius vs intelligent good guy. Then after (I won't say here to avoid spoilers) a certain event happened in Episode 25 the anime had nothing more to go on. Would've been a good time to end it right? Well, Apparantly the...

Way to throw a potentially good premise out the window I say. The first episode is absolutely one of the best, with solid introductions and an interesting undertone. The badassery is gone by the time you reach episode 2. It then just diverges into pointless nonsense and the lead character gets tedious to listen to and/or watch. Well, there isn't much more to say about this anime other than you see annoying characters you'll never see again. A waste of good plotting I'd say, avoid this and watch something else.

Oh, boy. If you thought the first set of specials was bad, then you'll be screaming in agony watching these. The scenes in each one don't connect, the amount of ridiculousness gets high and the "comedy" the creators add just is lame. It'll drive you mad just getting through 1, if you can get through all 6, then you're a warrior. Same as the first ones, all porn, no purpose. Just leave these.

Senran Kagura is like one of those bait and switches, you're promised a cake, you get broccoli, you're promised money, you get bills and in this case, you're promised badassery, but you get crap. Senran Kagura has to be one of the lamest anime I've ever seen. Oh and despite being an Ecchi, there is no nudity, well there is (with convieniently placed hair to block out the good bits) It follows a girl named Asuka. Her character is likable enough, if not bland. Sadly, her sweet charm is wasted around other characters who will either bore or annoy you. They just feel so bland, and there's even an arc where they... See full review

There's barely any reason to rate this above even a 1, but I only gave it a 2 because the dubbed version was actually decent, but good dubbing for this is like trying to polish a turd, it can't be done. All it is is the girls either molesting each other or stripping each other, nothing more (although I will give the 3rd one credit, it wasn't the worst).  Don't even bother with these. You'd be a lot better just watching the ones Queen's Blade and High School DXD made, at least those ones are enjoyable (and the Queen's Blade one actually has a plot, a ridiculous, watered down plot, but a plot...

I'm glad I got to see this anime, because now I can beat the crap out of it. It's about a little girl who has a fascination with underwear? How could anyone who's only in it for the ecchi like this repulsive trash. I know what some are thinking, it kind of aims to be bad, but just because an anime seemingly aims to be bad on purpose doesn't make it any less of a bad anime and Chu-bra is no exception. 2 out of 10 solely because it did make me chuckle a couple of times, but really if a few chuckles is all it's good for, then just scrap this and find something else.

Once more, these specials were enjoyable to me. These take place right where the first set of specials ended. With the Queen's Bra. It once again stays consistent and manages not to delve into nonsense like most specials do. And the outcome was rather shocking. I won't lie to you, I enjoyed these. Of course if you hate OVA's by all means avoid, but if you want to try go for it, you may like it.

Well, let me put it this way. You have to be engaged within the story to like it. It really depends on how you look at it. The animation is rather nice and the beginning and middle are brilliantly developed and give the story an edge, but then as we reach the ending, things start to slip. Where it is revealed that Afro killed his master for having the #2 headband, which he must obtain to get the #1 headband (I know, I know, dumb rule, but that's how it is). Why is Afro aiming to get the #1 headband? To avenge his father's death at the hands of the #1. Everyone is planning on attacking Afro to get to kill... See full review

Well, after finally watching this I see why people like it. It has a rather colorful tone without getting too cliche and cheery and it's lead Spike Spiegel is rather charismatic and likable. That being said the series still has some flaws. Let's start with the other characters. Most of them aren't really that interesting and sometimes seem to hinder the show's progress. Some episodes are rather sketchy (episodes 10 and 18 for example) and seem to bind the plot down with unresolved past problems and mawkish sentimentality. And there are a few instances where Spike holds his breath in space (not... See full review

What to say. Normally I don't care for anime movies that come from original series, as they sometimes fail miserably. This was a whole other story.  The animation is clearly the series' peak. It looks a lot more detailed and colorful than in the series. The series was made in 1998 so I expect the animation to be of it's time so to speak. This movie not only upped the animation, but remained consistent with it (no surprise as it is done by BONES animation studio, who for the most part is pretty consistent with their animation). The story was amazing, following Spike and his crew. From what I remember... See full review

This is just an eye-roller. All it is two little girls taking a bath. I don't see why anyone would like this garbage (unless you're desperate and want to watch). Sorry, but even by ecchi standards this is bad. The only redeeming quality is that the animation is solid. Pointless, I've seen ecchi that's you know, actually good, but this is not one of them. Not the worst I've seen, but still pretty lame.

Okay, I know what you're thinking? Why would I give it anything above a 1? I'll tell you why... I liked it. It falls short of the series by all means, but it was overall good. It actually had a story where it mirrors the Queen's Blade, except it's called the Queen's Bra. The girls must pull off tops and the winner is the queen. Well I guess I liked it because each episode felt connected to on another and easy to keep up with. Of course being the specials you get an overwhelming amount of fanservice (which does not bother me). I must admit though I'm just as surprised as you are about this rating. If you...

Way to take a brilliant concept and flush it down the toilet. At first I thought I'd give it a try because it seemed interesting enough, but boy was it bad. The story is too muddled out and gives little to no payoff. It has that same problem that Soul Eater has in which it is too manic. From a critical standpoint this is just a watered down version of One Piece. Natsu is a lamer version of Luffy, Lucy is a ditzier version of Nami, Happy is an annoying version of Chopper (etc.) The jokes include characters screaming at each other, Natsu being motion sick. Their comic relief takes way too long to end before... See full review

Well, I guess this movie wasn't that bad. It had good animation, the pacing was nice and brisk and the girls were given the ecchi treatment (their breasts flying around as if this were an episode of High School DXD or Ikkitousen). However it falls short ultimately with the removal of some important pieces to the story that were beneficial to the series (ex. the removal of Ace). It gave off the feeling that something was missing and fails to deliver. Had this been more faithful to the series it would've been better, but it falls short. You should just watch the whole alabasta arc (bar episodes 98 - 99, 101... See full review

The whole thing was just rather, lacking taste. The story took forever to actually take effect and the actress was really annoying. The whole thing just felt like a bloated filler...scratch that it WAS a bloated filler, bereft of purpose and completely uneventful. I guess if there's one redeeming quality is that the animation was up in terms of quality compared to the series which has mediocre to lame animation.  If you're not a fan of the series skip this, if you are you'll probably enjoy it. I know I sure as hell didn't.

If Quentin Tarantino were to make an anime, this would be it. It has a pretty solid cast and you may not like them, but they are pretty damn complex. The pacing is magnificent and connects from story to story without slowing down too much. My only real gripe with this is that the show is a little too phylisophical, which can handicap the pacing a bit.  Honestly, watching this was one of the best experiences I've ever had and I'd be glad to watch it again.

Well, I thought this was pretty good overall, but in comparison to the first season this was kind of a step back. I mean the animation was pretty good although (there were a few corner cuts) and the dub is amazing, but it falls short with the characters. Most of them were one dimensional retards who's only purpose was to shoot everything on sight. The pacing was sloppy because they drug out some of the planning, so we hear more talking than shooting. The redeeming quality is that this anime has some killer sound effects and they sound more realistic than other anime. To sum it up, it wasn't bad, but it... See full review

Initially I thought Queen's Blade was rather dull watching the first few episodes. Then it got to episode 5 and quite frankly, I'm glad I decided to give this anime another go. It surprised me with how well told the story is. The characters are very endearing and the animation is great. Initially it had disappointed me, but then redeemed itself by delving into it's potential and the results showed. While still flawed it told it's story magnificently and then it hit home. I honestly am glad I decided to delve into it further, I did it with Fractale and that sadly still fell short, but this didn't. It hit... See full review

Well, the first series was pretty damn good. Then I watched the second series, and I've got to say. I really liked it a lot. The pacing of the plot moved a lot more fluently than the first season and the characters and animation are still magnificent.  All in all, it's an improvement to the first which if you liked the first, you'll love the second in my opinion.

Eureka Seven truly has storytelling on it's side. The story follows a boy named Renton Thurston who is the son of his late father Adrock. He lives with his grandpa, until one day a ship crashes into his house and destroys it. He falls for Eureka and joins a crew called the Gekkostate. I gotta say, though the first few episodes were rather slow, just focusing on Renton getting humiliated and other characters bickering. The show did start to pick up once we got to the coralian concept. And once Renton matured he became more likable. In the beginning he was one of those characters that I wanted to like, but...

Oh, boy. This one. This series really had potential. It's concept is about humans who've become dependant on a program called fractale (seems legit). The beginning was beautifully done with Clain (the protagonist, who reminds me a lot of Renton from Eureka 7) beginning to have second thoughts after he meets Phryne, a girl being chased by a terrorist group called the Lost Milennium. The first 4 episodes were full of epic scenes and really told a lot about Clain and his motives. But once Clain joins the Lost Milennium things take a turn for the worst. Episode 5 is pretty much Clain getting accustomed to... See full review

Soul Eater is like one of those frusterating things that you want to succeed, but I watched it and found it rather middling. At first it was pretty solid and you got nothing but good vibes in the early episodes, but then Medusa came along, and well things went rather downhill from there. The pacing became rather awkward. There were a few pointless fillers added in about some lame sword named excalibur and all he did was berate others and go into long philosophy speeches that took up an entire episode. The animation on the other hand was pretty consistent, easily rivaling that of Eureka Seven and Fullmetal... See full review
