Ankoku Shinwa   4/10

Not the best plot, not the best animation or soundtrack, well I am not much of historically mythological anime fan anyhow.
Some one else might find it really interesting. Way to much names in one short anime for my memory.


Interlude was a bit worst then what I remember from watching it back when it was reliesed, but it still gets 7/10

Pros:
still a good story even knowing how it will end
decent soundtrack
nice way to spend time

Cons:
my ability to handle annoying female characters has became quite low...this one tested me quite a bit
why does there always have to a happy ending?

Oh the dream world people had their dream world (and now without any interruptions) and the dude went on to a sunrise after his girl. In my book it is and happy ending. Yeah, the dreaming girl was kind of depressed and lonely, but she did have her doggie to keep her company....and sister and sisters husband and other people who survived....



Bungaku Shoujo - Kyou no Oyatsu - Hatsukoi 4/10

what was that? I love Bungaku Shoujo, but this was just - wtf. No plot, no real story no nothing...just boring and annoying. Insulting even.....at least to me....why did they had to spoil a good anime title?

...Men are so necessarily mad that it would be another twist of madness not to be mad...

Tasogare Otome X Amnesia 9/10

This series was excellent overall!

+ Great animation and art quality
+ I really liked the Yuuko + Teiichi main character synergy
+ Momoe wins the award for the best comic relief side character I've seen in a while
+ The comedy was excellent and i was laughing multiple times per episode.
+ I was literally at tears in the last episode

- Fanservice was at times unnecessary/excessive
- The main story wasn't especially juicy or creative, though it was a 12 ep anime so this was pretty much expected

And a special mention: it's been pretty long since I watched an anime where I liked every single character. Guess thats why it was so enjoyable to me.

Dennou Coil          9/10

Genius all the way through, perfect story, no plot holes.
Mood changes and becomes more serious half way through, this transition works perfectly.
Emotional, cool themes, awesome characters, i can recommend it to anybody

Serial Experiments Lain          7/10 (formerly 8/10)

Not for everybody, even though it's slow paced i think it just works pretty good and is never boring.
Very philosophical and kind of surreal.... the ending was very disappointing, had more potential

Blue Submarine No. 6          5/10

OVA consisting of 4 episodes, nice animation, nice action, but plot lacking some rationality, most characters very basic and flat, nice jazzy music throughout, poor ending

Bakemonogatari
Rating: 9/10
Pros:
-Good Plot
-Good Characters
-Holds my interest
Cons:
-Needs another season
oh wait haha

I was surprised at just how wordy this was, but it totally works! I love the little random changes in art style and how sweet the story can be, also this

Ergo Proxy 6/10

Nice animation, nice atmosphere, very nice beginning, up until appr. episode 10, then story takes a deep plunge, filler episodes (especially episode 16), 2 episodes (15 and.... iirc 18 or 19) that are clearly breaking the general atmosphere, brilliant ending, episodes 20-24 very very good, saving an otherwise mediocre anime.
All in all quite enjoyable (especially if you like post apocalyptic scenarios and maybe games like fallout or movies like equilibrium (somehow it had the same feel))

RedLine 3/10

Not my cup of tea, crazy animation and that's it, forget the story, nothing there, reminded me a little bit of Dead Leaves, was bored to hell, very bad in my opinion

Just finished rewatching Stein's Gate.

Pros:
+ Very well realised light sci-fi story, I love the kind of complicated time travel stories where characters are constantly jumping back and forth through time.
+ Beautiful animation.
+ The second half in particular was really, really good.
+ I liked the way the story was structured, kind of going forward, then carefully retracing its steps and going backwards again, as it were.

Cons:
- Although the second half was so good, the first half felt fairly mediocre. The story seemed kind of haphazard, and the characters' idiocy pissed me off a bit. I can sort of see how they explain why Okabe was happy to send all those D-mails, but a lot of them just seemed like such ridiculously bad ideas, even he wouldn't have sent them.
- Okabe got a little annoying at times with his mad scientist stuff. This too improved in the second half though.
- There were a few plot holes. Nothing major, but noticeable enough to feel slightly jarring. For example:

- Also it seemed like there would have been better solutions to some of their problems, and the anime deliberately ignored them in order to use more difficult, but more dramatic solutions instead.

But yeah, all in all, it can't be understated just how good the second half of this show was. And the first half was most definitely not bad either. All in all, I rate it 7/10 - very good. I really enjoyed it, even though I'd seen it before.

Finished Mushishi a couple days ago... while it was a very good and very unique anime, the ending was far too open for my tastes. It would've definitely been a masterpiece in my opinion if there had been some kind of closure, or a plot with some kind of meaning behind it...

The stories were neat, but I would've preferred it if there was an actual story/reason and not just a collection of little ones.

My favorite episode was the one where the lady

It covers only the first half of the manga. There is a (slim) chance they'll make the second season of the series.

The meaning lies within the relation between the human world and the mushi, not in any plot. It's more about a concept than about a story. As a whole it's a metaphor of coexistence -peaceful or not- with nature, a plot would not really help to further this.
There's no one in the world I'm interested in surpassing, excepted for myself.

I know that's what it's supposed to be about... but it's very a very laid back and boring message. It would've been better imo if Ginko had a goal or something that he wanted to achieve, rather than wandering around aimlessly.

For all 26 episodes that I watched, nothing really hit me... to me the story didn't really accomplish anything. It was just a collection of random stories with nothing to connect them besides the idea of "getting along with your neighbors".

I dunno. It just felt unfulfilling to me, but like I said, it was still pretty good.

Tayutama - Kiss on my Deity. 7.5/10.

I personally enjoy things like this. And wish I could find more with a main girl like Mashiro. She's kawaii as fuck.

Pros:
Good animation.
Interesting story.
Decent fight scenes.
Characters were interesting and humorous.
Protagonist actually chose someone.

Cons:
Main dude is ignorant as hell. (What protagonist of a harem isn't?)
Childhood friend is annoying as fuck until like... the last episode.
Extra episodes(Tayutayu -Pure my Heart-) are all chibi and short. Little disappointing since after the series ends, you really want to know how things turn out.

Kampfer: 9/10

Seriously, I loved it. I really didn't think I was going to with the whole, dude becoming a girl thing(Just not my cup of tea.), but wow.

Pros:
Good animation.
The characters are amazing. They've all got their own quirks and some of them change COMPLETELY when they transform.
Interesting story
Shizuku. Seriously. She made this series. She is amazing. <3
Humorous.

Cons:
Only 14 episodes. Second series was only 2 episodes, making it the 14 altogether.
Doesn't choose anyone.
(click to show/hide)
Fight scenes were kinda short. Some of them were a decent fight, but most of them consisted of whichever team was more powerful won fairly quickly.
Protagonist is STUPID.
(click to show/hide)
Other girls frequently get in the way of Shizuku. (Sorry, I'm really biased because I <3 her.)
Story isn't really explained or finished.

Kaze no Stigma 9/10

Pros : Male lead character start (introduced) as badass, super strong, yet cool-headed, and sometimes a joker...

Cons : Well, other than lack of episode, the female lead is pissing me off

Nisemonogatari
Rating: 8/10

I liked this for much of the same reasons I liked Bakemonogatari (duh). But this season was a lot more fan servicey and didn't really hook me as well as the first season. It was still pretty good though. Another Gif from this one

I just finished Ano Natsu de Matteru

Rate: 9/10

 I liked it too much.

Pros: Almost every Romantic anime is based in "fan service" and it doesn't have it so much(almost nothing). it has a good plot and  the minor characters  are very important in the plot, while in other animes everythiing is about the main charecters.

Cons: there are a lot of questions whitout answer, i  won't say more becasue i don't want to give spoilers.

The Girl who Leapt through time. 7.5/10

Pros:
Good Artwork.
Timetravel makes everything more interesting.
Decent English Voice Acting.

Cons:
Semi-Slice of Life, dealing with relationships and such.
Sad in a few parts with no substantial pick-up in mood.
Awkward main character.

All in all, left me feeling kinda down.


Jin Roh - The Wolf Brigade 5/10

Pros:
Excellent Artwork.

Cons:
Story doesn't seem like it needs much thought.
Lots of WTF moments that seem to have no meaning.

Enjoyed the look of the movie, didn't much appreciate the story.
Seinen and Slice of Life cannot describe the same title, because daily life is too boring to be called a plot. Ecchi/fanservice is not plot either.
