• Tasogare Otome x Amnesia
Great animation, very rich & diverse color - dipping into the realm of psychedelic - mixed with moody & dark. Damn, some of the nicest artwork I've seen in a while. Soundtrack was Good to Excellent and very appropriate for virtually every scene. A couple of tracks will haunt you with their beauty.
The story is fantastic, with a many unique elements. One of the better ghost stories I've ever enjoyed. In fact, a very serious contender for the top five. There is a lot to feel about the characters, especially our main spirit protagonist Yuuko.
On the annoying side, some of the humor gets a bit silly for such a seriously themed story. It's not that there shouldn't be humor, but some of it was distracting slapstick when it could have been toned back to let the drama have more impact. The characters are well rounded out and develop nicely, but there are also quite a number of stereotypical tropes that were overplayed. The presence of such isn't my main complaint, so much as they are portrayed with a heavy hand when more subtlety could have made this truly amazing.
At this point, I would give it all of a solid 8/8.5 of ten, and could even be persuaded it deserved a 9.
However. (click to show/hide)There is one final, disingenuous and insulting plot "twist" in the last minutes of the ending ... and it was quite disappointing to me. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I'm pretty fucked off at it. Really uncalled for and greatly diminishes the emotional & dramatic impact of all the reveals in the concluding episodes.
A pretty lame, immature ass-pull for which I take, at the least, a full point. So, I put the final score at 7 of 10, and wish I could unsee that part.
Still highly recommended and enjoyable, especially if you want a ghost story that is largely creepy, tragic and horrifying, yet still gets you laughing and is touching & human.

ARIA (complete)
+some of the best art in the medium:
+lush, vibrant backdrops
+absolutely stunning scenery
+really managed to capture the beauty of Venice well
+top-notch soundtrack: Origination ED gets me every time
+always get a good vibe watching this
+dynamic characters
+always something to learn; characters have a cathartic experience at the end of almost every episode
+excellent chemistry for the main cast
-not animated in HD :(
-animation quality is great but inconsistent at times
-fantasy elements that didn't really mesh with the story
-usually very boring; you'll find mundanity not unlike that of K-ON
-avoids slapstick and toilet humour, but the comedy is still a little off
8/10 (7.5/10 Animation, 7.5/10 Natural, 8.5/10 Origination)
ARIA was one of those anime I found very hard to rate. On one hand, I think it could be considered a masterpiece for many people. On the other hand, I couldn't get past how dull it was for the majority of each episode. (Clearly I wasn't part of its target audience.) I'd recommend that you don't try to marathon this or try to finish this in short order for that reason. That being said, I found myself enjoying the series much more when I started to limit myself to 1 episode a week or less. In the end, it took me nearly 6 months to finish this series, but it was definitely worth it.

Angel Beats!
Story: 8/10
Music: 7/10
Overall a 8,5/10 to be honest.
It is one of the better animes I've seen, the only downpart being the short duration and the missed chances of character developement.

Steins;Gate
10/10
It's taken me a couple months to finish this one... or was it only a few hours? I can't tell anymore.
I got irritated and dropped this show at around episode 5 because the story was progressing so slowly and I couldn't stand how stupid Okabe was.
(click to show/hide)You don't fuck around with time travel and grant everyone's d-mail request. I literally facepalmed the first time he did this. His attitude was also really getting on my nerves.
There were more nit-picky things that irritated me about the beginning of this anime but I simply can't remember them... maybe it's because I crossed world lines? Or maybe it's because the last half of the anime made me forget about them all?
There were so many problems I had with this anime but episode 12 and on just blew me away; and the ending..... it just.... well it made me rate the anime 10/10 despite how irritated I was with the first half so that should tell you something.
I feel... good after watching this anime. Simply... good.
