Loved the way it looked, was very funny, the girls had a lot of personality to them, music was very good(love the opening) It was just over all a very good anime. I do wish it was a little bit longer.


We are now officially enemies. Oreshura is the bane of my existence.

It's one of the few harem shows I finished. And it was just dreadfully generic.

Wizard Barristers was disappointing/10.

Beautiful character designs by Umetsu, typical Umetsu crazyness, but none of that can be properly exploited with such a garbage-tier budget. The last episode was the worst offender of QUALITY.

At least we might get some uncensored Umetsu Girl Fanservice after the BDs come out...

Tokyo Raven

Spoiler:
First they establish "reviving the dead as impossible and deplorable" but if the protagonist wants to do it with someone in the main cast, who's to argue, the little girl originally denied that... screw her!

Everything in the series was way to obvious and... boring for me... I continued to watch it out of free time.

The only interesting thing I found in the series, was the world of (shaman) magic, but that's the last thing they put any focus on, constantly rolling out new concepts and ideas with little to no explanation or forethought. With most of the world relying on present day established norms, a hundred plus years of magic really didn't change crap.

It all just felt lazy on part of the creator.


2/10 in story/character quality
0/10 in enjoyment (I can't think of a single thing I enjoyed...)


D-frag

Spoiler:
Kind of saddens me how much of the manga content they cut out, by comparison, the anime felt like a somewhat hollow shell of the manga, for me. Pink hair, I forget her name atm, played an insignificant and meaningless role within the anime, for example. Aside from that, it was the exact same experience I got from the manga.


5/10 in story/characters quality
7/10 in enjoyment (strictly as a comedy), (accounting for novelty)

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha

Spoiler:
I didn't find the story specifically strong in general, there were some pretty meaningful and deep parts at times, but I feel like they were wasted through a lack focus and/or strong follow up. To rephrase it, I felt this series could have been a lot deeper but sugar coated quite a bit to remain in a positive focus.


6/10 in story, 4/10 in characters quality
5/10 in enjoyment (The steps back from darker conflicts killed it for me since they step to the edge as often as they did)

Noragami

Spoiler:
The only thing I can really complain about is my hatred of cliff hangers. The staging of the world and the divisions is well done, without going into too much detail about them. Characters personalities and desires come off well and are well used within the world. Conflicts feel genuine and characters are come off easily as identifiable with. Despite the "RomCom" elements, I enjoyed a series not revolving around it, for a change. Was/is a great story of maturity and acceptance even.

I felt like there was so much more that needed to be conveyed, but was understandable within the constraint of their run time. If any series this season deserves a S2, I feel this one does, but pessimism leads me to believe it most likely won't.


9/10 in story, 10/10 in character quality
10/10 in enjoyment (Was one of the series that drove me crazy waiting for.)

Kill la Kill

Spoiler:
I have a certain bias for these "over the top" cliche "good versus evil" stories. Watching this greatly reminded me of Toppa Tengen Gurren Lagann, though I still hold TTGL in higher regards, I still very much enjoyed this series.

I very much love the wackiness of the series, by the end, I had stopped recognizing the lack of clothing, which I found hilarious.

If I had one complaint, maybe the pacing of the beginning versus the mid and end. So much time was spent character building, that by mid way, a lot of things were glossed over so quickly, in which, if given more time, could have been developed more. Such as, Nudist Beach, or the girls father, as much as the story conveys, "he was someone who hated the mother for almost killing their child and undertook a noble cause of defiance afterwards". What type of parent he was to Ryuko was never conveyed.


8/10 in story/character quality
10/10 in enjoyment (I hear theirs an OVA, joyfully anticipating it)

Wizard Barristers

Spoiler:
An incredibly deceptive opening and pretext of story. The story, very surprisingly, did not turn out how the initial story seemed to illustrate the series to be about. Even the opening had more, if you exclude the mech, magical action than the actual series (imo), (Blonde "cuts a falling plane in half, for it to explode afterwards, in-front of her"... This never comes up in the series).

This was quite misleading, which only reinforces the idea that the creators were not sure where to take this concept. The artistic approach was really nice, showed a lot of quality, but wasted on a directionless show. Well I guess it wasn't directionless... There was a consistent story behind the scenes, but it really lea up to a coin flip conclusion. Outcomes decided "just because" that's what the characters want.

I was expecting something with more meaning, dept, and significance considering whose behind this series. But all the conflicts and characters feel sugar coated.


4/10 in characters/story quality (Most of the cast is left as explored as they are from the first episode)
6/10 in enjoyment (Despite how much I rag on this series, I was able to enjoy quite a bit of it)
(I know their is another episode left, but I don't think it'll change my opinion much)

Cat Girl Nuku Nuku T.V.

Spoiler:
Considering it's vintage, maybe it did somewhat well in it's time, but it doesn't hold up well. The series feels completely directionless and only there for the sake of a character and a specific setting, "boy meets robot girl" x "boy meets cat girl".


1/10 in character/story quality (cliche side character archetypes entertained me)
0/10 in enjoyment (was so bored, I barely paid attention)

Cat Girl Nuku Nuku OVA

Spoiler:
Similar to previous review. This one was thought out a little better, but filled with the same. Especially the ditzy but kind hearted and optimistic main heroine so predominant in 80-90's anime.


1/10 in character/story quality
3/10 in enjoyment (may be a nostalgia filter in this case)

No-Rin

Spoiler:
Idk how or why, but after 9 weeks, I decided to give the show another chance, despite my disinclination towards everything "Japanese idol and their glorification", related. But I decided to watch the second episode, and found that they intended to do more than glorify the occupation. That they wanted to be somewhat educational and had some good jokes in their, shuffling through all the crude sexual ones such as "the highest quality panty" scene.

Though, the show is kind of a mess in it's focus and delivery. Very often feels like unorganized director is in charge. Especially in regard to how much of an educational show they want to be.

Quite often I am reminded of Moyashimon, which I view as a strong springing off point that they seem oblivious too. I did think the "Anti-GMO" episode was interesting though. But I wish it wasn't left as a "completed argument", seeing as the discussion is still open. But the tackling of the vilification of it for simply being unknown was interesting.

The characters were, nothing new, with a small exception to a character in the main cast having dedicated feelings for someone other than the protagonist. Never thought I'd see that from this kind of series.


4/10 in story, 2/10 in character quality
5/10 in enjoyment (I know I've seen the "single female teacher lusting after men" cliche for the last 10 years, but I still find it entertaining, especially this time around.)

Redline

Spoiler:
I had no idea what to think going in this other than, so like, speed racer? Holy hell did I love this series. Protagonist being a strong bridge between Onizuka and Dandy, with the added bonus of being good with the ladies.

The world they build, the attention to characters and their own goals, the conflict between them... Was all done so well, and in only the duration of a movie. They spent the right amount of time on each, making the watcher want to experience so much more by the end.

The movie hooks the audience well in the world and it's characters conflict and moves the watcher to identify with the cast. Nothing feels over exaggerated or forced.


10/10 in story/characters (I'd want more story/world elements, but I'm content due it's duration)
10/10 in enjoyment (Had me on the edge of my seat, screaming in the middle of the night, for the protagonist)

Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru

Spoiler:
I don't remember exactly why I didn't watch this when it first came out. I suppose the first episode didn't convey the quality/direction of the series well enough for me. Gave it a second try a few weeks ago... I hate myself for giving up in the first place and I am glad I watched this.

This show was right in my ball park for comedy. Right up their with Nichijou, Azumanga Daioh, and Zetsubou Sensei.

It's well thought out and delivered(past 1st). Some of the jokes are just... too good... cracked me up crying... (I'm loosing it).


8/10 in story, 9/10 in character quality
10/10 in enjoyment (ridiculously funny)

FLCL

Spoiler:
Decided to re-watch this, makes me reminiscence the days of toonami and anime in adult swim...

This show embodied quite a bit of what caused me to fall in love with anime.

There's not much I can say other than, I still want so much more... Their was so much detail they left open ended for the world of this series that I want to explore it... I want to see what their "space" is like. What's it like to be a "space pirate". What is Haru her goal exactly. So much material was made in such a short series, and with it all being so open ended, he created a giant world for this show, which only adds onto the quality of the story, especially the protagonist and his plight(s). Maturity, love, age, insecurity, longing for change, ect...


10/10 in story/character quality
10/10 in enjoyment (I can watch this a hundred times and... well I think the lack of knowing what I don't know would drive me to Japan to get the creator to write it out for me)

Seitokai Yakuindomo

Spoiler:
I was really hoping, even a little, they would push the story somewhere. In a somewhat forward direction, considering they kept adding character elements outside the jokes, though I guess, in itself, those were jokes.

I know there is one episode left, but having watched an entire series, just to have the one meaningful episode at the end, kind of... not my thing.

As for the quality of everything else, it was a constant role out of sexual innuendo's that lead to easily forgettable jokes with no meaning or significance. Not that it's bad, but not particularly in my range for comedy.


1/10 in story, 2/10 in characters (the only world element is another school and all the characters are sexual punchlines)
1/10 in enjoyment (I enjoyed the first season a bit more, like a 3-4, but that's probably due the fact they had character creation and relationship progression)

Cowboy Bebop.
It isn't the best thing to happen to humanity since fish walked on land despite what everyone told me, but it was quite the ride.
Spoiler:
Aesthetically, the anime was superb the audio(my favorite), animation and art all hit hard. They don't insult my intelligence by having me sit down to droll flashbacks or logic for BS that lasts for half the episode, CB tells the viewer to understand then move on. The tired and selfish main characters struggle daily to justify their lives after losing their purpose in life, the big three kept impressing me with the depth of their relationship. Everybody knew their place and held it: Spike was a space badass before it was in space, Faye was a space hooker on menopause and Jet was the space million dollar man.

Well it did have it's wrongs. Mainly when CB skipped over too many details, particularly Vicious's unclear motives for douchebaggery. Julia and Vicious were too transparent to be a vital characters in the anime, they were just there to advance the plot. I was expecting something huge concerning the Gate Accident in the series, and maybe it was a good to avoid some Aztec BS ending but otherwise it was a convenient excuse for magic. The ending is the best and worst thing to happen, on one hand they provided amazing closure for Spike and killed him off(?) in a bold move, then they completely ditched everyone else's closure.
Cowboy Bebop is one I'll remember, but not exceptional it's better than average is all.

Noragami 9/10
Was a anime that gave you action, drama, and comedy. Also gave you character you that were likeable. The story is just basically life of Yato god to the building of his new regalia, then end with some of Yato's past. Very good anime that is worth the watch let alone maybe a second season...

Well since I posted last i will edit it now to include another anime.

I just finished Mahou Sensou or Magical Warfare

When i first read the plot was a very interesting one and I thought it had potential. Well sorry the anime just never really hit its stride to full affect. The characters themselves were never really developed well enough so it just felt like you didn't have a big attachment to any of them. Then the story at times just felt weird and in part due to after I watch one episode then finish and start the next I have no idea how it got to the point that they are at in the next episode. Also felt like there were just too many things they brought up that felt like it was going to be really important to the story to only put them on the back burner (the main characters sword). The graphics and animation are beautiful and battles and unique (though partly a rip off of Fairy Tail anime). But in the end the anime just felt rushed and you never really feel like it is reaching that potential, also the ending is a cliff hanger which means it needs to be a second season (hopefully that clears something up and actually makes other as important as it seemed).

Overall if you like a action anime that throws in some perverted nature and drama then for you. But as of right now no higher than [size=12][/h]5/10

Elfen Lied : 7,5/10. It was pretty enjoyable. Too bad that it's super short. I watched the entire anime in 6 hours. I felt great after watching it because i remember being disturbed by the gore in this anime when i was very young and i never thought i'd watch it someday.

Hellsing 5/10: the original Hellsing anime was so-so. Didn't follow the orignal story line (not always a bad thing, but in this case wasn't up to par) and the artwork as a bit crude. I also didn't like the character development of the characters all that much. Also the ending was pretty crappy. Wouldn't reccomend it, but wasn't the worst that I've ever seen.

Hellsing Ultimate 9/10: Was done very well in terms of art style, graphics, and voice acting. I love the dialogue and even though it was sometimes long winded, it was very encapturing to listen to. I also loved all of the character's within this series and felt that this anime/OVA version did the series justice in comparison to the last.

Blood: The Last Vampire - 7/10

Apparently I.G's first entirely CG anime released in 2000. With a surprising amount of English dialog (not said by Japanese VAs) in the original release. And nice katana action scenes.

Is it any good? Yes, if you want a short (only 40 minutes) action anime then check it out.

The Garden of Words: 9/10

I wasn't getting my hopes up for this, because although I knew (and have seen) how beautiful the animation was, I wasn't expecting the plot to be any good. I was immensely disappointed by 5 Centimeters per Second, after all, which also happened to be visually pleasing.
However, for a 40 minute story, I loved every second of it. I would recommend giving it a view. It's impressive.

Seitokai Yakuindomo - 5/10

Spoiler:
I really enjoyed the first season of this anime. Maybe it's because my sense of humor is really immature and I can appreciate this show's constant barrage of sex jokes. I also really loved the parody jokes too. In general I can appreciate 4koma humor. By the 2nd season, though, many of the jokes had gotten really stale. I'd almost argue that the first season and the OVAs are enough. The 2nd season only really adds some more stuff with the other school's president.

Tsukihime: What a horrendous, poorly written, boring piece of garbage. 2/10. It was so terrible that I felt the need to watch a series that did vampires well... so I then watched Hellsing Ultimate.

Hellsing Ultimate: 10/10
I loved the shit out of this OVA series. It was beautiful. I began watching one episode a day, but then I got to the masterpiece that is OVA vii and immediately had to see the rest. So well done, and immediately goes into my top 5 anime, which includes Cowboy Bebop, the Berserk movie trilogy, Gunbuster, and the original Mobile Suit Gundam series. I can't gush about Ultimate enough, so I'll stop there.

After that, I started A Certain Scientific Railgun. It's pretty good so far, but I hope there's an actual plot simetime soon. Currently on episode 5.
