Buso Renkin, Alchemy Arms: 7.5/10

Pros:
Maintains a well thought out plot.
Has extremely funny moments, though there are very few.
Fight animation gets more detailed over time.

Cons:
The few plot holes there are tend to linger.
Parts of the ending that contradict other crap.


Overall it's worth a watch, but I don't think I'd really watch it twice. The English Dub is passable, but feels over acted or under acted, its hard to tell which at times.

Also, if Venture Bro's wasn't enough to satisfy your urge to watch Butteryfly themed Antagonists this will interest you.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai is the second season for Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
There is also Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kira

Thanks for the info   It's not umineko no naku koro ni, but it's from the same developer, so I plan to watch this in the future.

Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi

Rating:7/10

Pros:
-Nice animation, nice character design
-Funny plot.
-Nice fan-service which actually doesn't spoil the plot or seems out of place, something that is desirable in a good anime. 

Cons:
-Normal story, nothing new, but still is fun to watch.

Recommended for a lazy afternoon when you want to have a few laughs, and then forget about it.

Lovely Complex
+avoids many of the typical cliches in this genre
+somewhat realistic portrayal of teen romance; better love story than Twilight
+actually a very decent OP and ED despite heavy use of Engrish
+solid VA
+mellow story
-a few unnecessary characters
-too reliant on slapstick comedy for its own good
-probably took slightly too long to conclude
-animation quality
-could've used more drama
6/10

[Hadouken]

Inazuma Eleven Go
7/10

Good (imo):

Entertaining
Likeable characters
Powers
Everyone important from the first season makes an appearance.

Bad (imo):
Cheesy at times
Cheesy OPs and ED's (except for the first ones)

Zeta Gundam: 5/10

Pros:
Some decent animation for its time.
Story seems to make sense.

Cons:
The ending isn't gonna make anyone happy because you're supposed to watch Double Zeta.
They lets so many kids steal important Mobile Suits and take them into battle REPEATEDLY without punishment, even when they get it heavily damaged or destroyed, and were warned not to do so before hand.
Main character isn't really that strong and doesn't seem important. Probably would've been better off letting "Quattro" pilot the Zeta, he'd be a 1 man army in it.

Elfen Lied

Pros:
- Lot's of action/violence/gore
- Great plot
- Interesting characters

Cons:
- Limited Character depth

(click to show/hide)

(Not much background on Lucy's and Nana's earlier life)

- Only 13 episodes & 1 OVA!! need moar

Rating - 9 / 10   I loved this anime series, it's a shame it's from 2004 which likely means they won't be making any more. I would have loved for some more episodes to share some more information on the background/past lives of individual characters, but other than that it's one of my favourite animes.

Elfen Lied
- Only 12 episodes!! need moar

Actually, 13 episodes + OVA.

[aspectmatty]

My bad, i'd got mixed up cause most short animes are 12 episodes, and forgot about the OVA xD

Future Boy Conan 7.5-8

Pros:
good story
good characters and character development (not counting main character)
good soundtrack
amazing animation considering when anime was made, some anime now do not have such nice animation
pleasant time watching the whole thing

Cons:
who needs Superman? We have Conan, all the incredible stuff he could do sometimes was just a bit to much. He is just a kid no supermen....
had a feeling that anime should end now few times, but it made a good come back each time so not really disappointing, but still did feel a bit to much of that

[sawakosadako]

The Melancholy Suzumiya Haruhi 8

Pros:
Good story, and very original.
Endless Eight episode. It's so good that I wanted to hit my head watching it. Two thumbs up for the director, he's such a sadistic bastard

Cons:
Endless Eight, they should've put an in between episode during this. At least this would ease the pain.

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai   8/10

Pros:
So very relatable
Cute characters
Nice depth added to character relationships
Very "normal" feel
Good soundtrack

Cons:
Pretty typical harem-type anime

[Nodame-chan]

Angel Beats 8/10

Pros
Best Seiyuus
Good animation
Somewhat musical anime
Interesting characters

Cons
Sad ending
Not long enough

[deadskin]

Honey and Clover II
+extremely well-written narrative; bittersweet beginning -> bittersweet end
+possibly the best cast of characters in a slice of life anime
+deals with mature themes from a number of angles
+very decent, appropriate humour that is handled with a degree of grace
+excellent backgrounds and character designs
+Suneohair never disappoints with his music
+there is quite a bit of drama, but with the way things works it becomes subtle enough not to get in the way
+closure
-like its predecessor, probably the worst OP ever
-too many metaphors; you sometimes have to rewatch certain parts several times to understand it
-heavily reliant on soliloquy to develop characters: however, plot feels disjointed without them
9.5/10  -  A satisfying conclusion to an excellent series. Definitely one of the best anime I've ever seen.

sora no oto: 7.5

Pros:
- If you like K-ON you probably gonna like this.
- Overall except for the ending it's a fun anime to watch. You should watch this.
- Good OP.

Cons:
- For me "personally", I'd say It got bad ending. It's so Japanese (not exactly) when it comes to solving a problem like this. So I'd probably gonna ditch this one from my disk.

[battoussai]

Fate/Zero     9/10

Pros:
Absolutely beautiful art and animation
Soundtrack is a perfect fit throughout
Characters are well "filled out"
No loose ends as a prequel  (that I saw anyway)
It made me cry   

Cons:
If you haven't seen Fate/Stay Night you don't need to see it first, but it is recommended

[deadskin]

Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~
+interesting premise
+superb animation quality
+use of low-key lighting, colour tones, and other techniques to enhance the plot
+brilliant ambiguous ending
+realistic enough to require little suspension of belief
+stunted character development for most of the series, but it works
-main characters have plot armour
-too much unjustified BS in the second half
-secondary characters are hard to follow
-the main characters being killers has a distancing effect on the emotional content
8/10

[sorbik]

Deadman Wonderland 9/10

Pros:
Twisted character personalities (Love those)
People fighting w/ their own blood (Just awesome)
Lots of Gore (Hell yeah!)
Good animation style
No overuse of boobage/butt shots

Cons:
Only 12 episodes  -1 point

I wanted to know what happened after the end of the series so bad that I actually started reading the manga (Never read a mange before since I hate comics). I'm hearing this series flopped in Japan but I thought it was alot better than some of the anime series out there with 2/3 seasons.

[Logiick]

Highschool of the Dead.
7/10.
8.5/10 if I ignore the ridiculous fan-service and take into account it's supposed to have a second season.
