Humanity Has Declined | Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita - 8.5/9 out of 10. But, it's not really for everyone.
plus:
- It's weird. Quirky humor, quirky characters.
- Artwork. It's an animated watercolor of sorts. Or colored pencil sketch.
minus:
- It's weird. Tough to get traction on the humor & characters. At least in the beginning.
- I was put off a bit by character design for the fairies. Too chibi & creepy, open-mouthed "smiles."
- Soundtrack was not outstanding. Which is not to say it wasn't good ... just not amazing.
If anything, it's similar to Arakawa Under the Bridge. Except completely different. The plot lacks all romance, and is set in a time & place not even remotely similar. And still, it is a disconnected journey to stretch the mind with psychedelic non-sequitors and wonderful surprises.
Completely charming. The episodes do not follow linear time progression, so the ending happens before the beginning, and still the tale is told in the order in which it is viewed. Eps. 7 & 8, in particular, are nearly as frustrating as the 'endless 8' set of episodes from Haruhi ... but it does fit the perspective & personality of the fairy world very well.
It's not easy to get through the first couple of episodes, but then it gets completely abstract and mind-bending when the characters get trapped inside a fairy version of a manga for an arc. It remains pretty interesting thereafter, and I was disappointed that it ended so soon. It should have gone 26 episodes, especially to fill out a couple of the characters more.

--- End quote ---
Pretty much agreed. One of my favorites. I might shave it down to 9.5 of 10, just because 10/10 should be very rare & hard to achieve ... but Kimi ni Todoke is one of those anime that should definitely be eligible for a 10.
I added this to my comment to remind people that there is a live action movie for it, and it's just about as good as the series. Keeping in mind how condensed it has to be for movie format, they did an excellent job with the story, and the actors/actresses were great in it. It's a wonderful way to re-watch the story without re-watching both seasons.
harpy:
Chihayafuru 7/10
Pros:
interesting story
good pace most of the time
good animation and has good feel to it
god anime for people who like game/sport anime
Cons:
at time seemed to long
I am not much of sports/game anime fan, but that's not animes fault. I doubt I will watch second season...
Nazo no Kanojo X 3.5/10
Pros:
is a bit different from usual relationship anime I've seen
half decent animation and music
Cons:
.....whats good about it? true it was not some annoying harem anime and I was able to finish it, but still it was quite a waste of time. Well anyhow - again another sissy boy anime. Make something with male characters that are not pussies 99% of time.
Beside I happened to watch HorribeSub translated and they kept on calling saliva droll. I do not know if Japanese version dis say droll instead of saliva, but as far as I saw he tried droll once and the rest was just saliva. Annoyed me as hell.
beside the amount of their saliva/droll made me think that all of them might have rabies...oh, well no wonder animation was more on the dark side, I heard that people with rabies are afraid of light or sudden laud noises...they did not have any of that as well....
Port of Return 4/10
Pros:
decent soundtrack
Cons:
annoying animation
quite nonsense story
no proper ending
Towa no Quon 8/10
just what I needed after last two animes I watched...I was giving up on anime thinking that all they make now is crap anyhow why bother....so
Pros:
good story
good animation
nice soundtrack
good variety of characters (I could even overlook Towas annoying parts of character)
wasnt to slow and was not to fast
everything was explained and there was no real lose ends story vise (I guess they left the end open to give a chance for part 2 or just to tell that idiots will always be around no matter what people do)
Cons:
em was I watching Terra e... and Cashern mix in short version and not happening in space or distant future? well they both was great anime so I don't really mind it.....
The Princess and the Pilot 7/10
Pros:
great animation
good soundtrack
really nice romance/tragedy story
Cons:
did lack a bit of a depth , but a nice watch anyhow, if it would have been even a bit longer would have gotten really boring
why did they had to ruin the end with that written stuff about the life of Fan and not knowing about Mr.Pilot? heh
Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita 7.5/10
Pros:
nice feel good anime that never mixes up its mood
funny, reminded me a bit of Arakawa Under the Bridge just had less drama and action, like it would be Arakawa Under the Bridge and Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou mix, and a good one, with loads of nice humor
refreshing soundtrack and animation that made watching this anime pleasure
greatly enjoyed the manga episodes, reminded me a bit of movies Cube
Cons:
I am so tired of all these time travel/twist/how ever you call them series, I did felt bored at these 2 eps....
nothing really memorable about this anime, just a nice way to spend time
Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou 6/10
Pros:
funny
Cons:
gets dull towards the ending thou it is still funny, just boring kind of funny
I fill forget it tomorrow, well details already are fading
Un-Go: Inga-ron 7/10
sue me I just love Inga......
Pros:
I get to know how cool Inga was right from the beginning :D
I get to see Inga again :D
but this one still had nice story, not fan of soundtrack, but not bad
Cons:
the same as Un-Go did not have the feel of completeness and did feel a bit shallow....but Inga is amazing anyhow :D a good crazy character can save anime :D
Tsuritama 7/10
Pros:
good easy going comedy with no complicated plots
addictive soundtrack
nice animation style and choice of colors
Cons:
well if you do not like spending time by wasting time on something easy going and funny and at some points ridiculous this anime is not for you
Roven:
Shuffle! 7.0/10
Pros:
-The second half is decent with unsuspected plot twist.
-Satisfying ending.
-The girls are surprisingly entertaining to watch.
Cons:
-Inconsistent animation quality.
-Weird setting.
-Dumb male lead.
harpy:
Mouretsu Pirates 5/10
there is nothing really much to say about this, no cons no pros, just that the opening song killed the anime, that was not any good to begin with. Its not that bad either if you are willing to waste on something with no real plot or purpose.
Logiick:
Nisemonogatari - 9.0/10.
Pros - Great character development.
Animation seemed to be slightly better than Bake's, albeit just barely. Really it's only at certain times. Bake was gorgeous but there are times in Nise that are just unbelievable.
Shinobu gets some much needed screen-time. She literally became one of my favorite characters in anything.
Gives you a real good sense of Karen-chan; who is amazing.
(click to show/hide)Karen-chan + Koyomi = Wincest. Seriously. On the continuation, they need more of this.
Cons - Even though the series is about the sister's themselves, Karen-chan is more focused on than Tsukihi. (Although, I must say, I much prefer Karen-chan, it's just that I feel like it was unbalanced.)
Neither Hitagi nor Hanekawa are touched on, really at all. I understand it's focus was the sisters, but they show up in like... an episode each, and for not very long. Just would have been nice to see more of them.
Overall, I wasn't displeased with much. It's just a dialogue-dependent as Bake, but overall much better. (click to show/hide)Like the entire episode that's dedicated to Shinobu and Koyomi just taking a bath together and talking. The animation of the water was insanely well done. You see how close her and Koyomi have actually become, etc. Overall they make it interesting so it doesn't become slow or boring as it did sometimes in Bake. Animation seemed to be slightly better at times, more jokes and teasing from characters about stuff. Nice little "Twists" if you could call them that. Fan-service, but not like... super overly obvious and annoying like some series.
Anyway; if you've been putting this series off like I was: Don't. It's well worth the watch.
