Sword Art Online Review







  Sword Art Online is still on the 4th episode but since I fully read the light novel I thought I should make a comment of what has already been shown. There are spoilers in this review so please wait for the full anime review of this when the first season is finished if you do not want to read spoilers.
After reading the novels I had great expectations of this anime. Despite this, watching the first episode made me think that it they are trying to rush into the climax of the novel and skipping the details.

Yu Yu Hakusho Review


  Yu Yu Hakusho is a very old anime that started in 1992 and finished in 1995. I absolutely love anime in the 90's era and the same thing goes to this but there are some things that could've been better.

Daily Lives of High School Boys Review


  This anime made me laugh almost every single minute. It got rid of any stress I had while watching and made me relaxed. It doesn't have a story but it covers that up with amazingly funny and unpredictable humor.

Eureka Seven Review

  Eureka Seven is a great anime that I recommend to many people. I have loved this anime and have re-watched it several times since then. Other than the fact that the main character is whiny, I loved the story, art, mechs(I don't like mechs that often), animation and everything about it. I especially loved the story.

Hunter x Hunter Review

  This anime is one of my all-time favorites. It may seem a bit childish but it did what other shounen anime couldn't do. It keeps on unraveling the story bit by bit each and every episode. It also doesn't focus on a single character and shows some of the other characters stories as well, and does it in a way that it actually doesn't get boring.

Kara no Kyoukai Review


cover
Cover of Kara no Kyoukai
 
  An intense Horror/Psychological/Mystery/Drama/Supernatural/Romance, that has great characters, animation and plot. It's a movie series made up of 7 movies. I don't give 10/10's very often but this definitely deserves it. Now this is something I recommend EVERYONE to watch.
  The first movie might be a little confusing as it doesn't really explain anything, the second movie and the rest will cover what you were thinking when you said "What the fuck...".

Fairy Tail Review

Back to popular titles now. I'm going to be a bit harsh on this one though.


   Fairy Tail is that kinda anime that you watch just for fun. It's character design sucks, it's story is interesting but still not good enough since it is predictable, animation is average but the characters in it have fun a lot of the time so you can also get into the mood. The manga was much better but I can't say that I absolutely loved it either.

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? Review

  Okay, this anime is a bit crazy. By that I mean it is pure senseless humor.


   Story

"Aikawa Ayumu is a normal boy that was trying to live his life normally. But, one day he got killed only to be revived by Eucliwood Hellscythe as a zombie. After being revived he was forced to serve Eu as a protector. While all this was happening he stole the mahou shoujo Haruna's powers. Since Haruna's powers were now in the hands of Ayumu, Haruna asked Ayumu to destroy the anti-mahou shoujo system 'Megalo' in her place."

Summer Wars Review

This anime is a Action/Adventure/Comedy/with a bit of Sci-Fi and some well placed Emo and Romance too.

One Piece Review

  One Piece is different from the other popular shounen anime. For one, One Piece is actually fun. By this I mean it doesn't keep on changing its storyline. The main character has a set goal and fights strongly for it. It also doesn't lengthen the fights unnecessarily either. It could introduce a super strong character yet get defeated in 1 episode. But at the same time, it could be a weak character and get defeated in 3-4 episodes.
  Another thing that makes the story strong in One Piece is that it teaches everyone to cherish their friends and even if they are far away from you, to hold the memories you had with them dear. By teaching us, I mean it never forgets about people that have become friends with the Straw Hat Pirates. These people that come back brings us a memory of an old part of the story and ties it with the current story.
  In a lengthy anime such as One Piece there are bound to be fillers. On other popular anime like Bleach or Naruto, most people hate the fillers. But in One Piece the fillers are very entertaining. The fillers in One Piece are worth to watch as they are funny and keep us entertained till the filler is done.
  For an anime that has so many episodes you would guess it would have become repetitive but this isn't true. In every arc it introduces new people with a new story while upholding the main idea of becoming the Pirate King. Also, in One Piece the important person isn't the main character. It is the whole world. It doesn't simply shove off unnecessary characters, it even tells their story. Each and every person in the Straw Hat Pirates have an individual dream that plays a part in the storyline.
  I think that by the time One Piece actually gets finished, it would have created a full world. At first look the story may seem simple but when looking at what keeps that simple look together you can see that this is probably one of the most complex stories that an anime has.









Bleach Review

 Sorry for my last review of this anime. I was just angry as it was a recommendation from a friend when I said I didn't want to watch it. Edited it to make it better.

Story

  "Ichigo Kurosaki is 15 years old an he has a special ability, the ability to see ghosts. But it is something that he considers more of a bother than a gift. One day he met a Shinigami (Death God) named Rukia, who's on the run from a Hollow—a monster ghost that still has unfinished business.

Without anything else to do, Rukia transfers her powers to Ichigo, whose enormous supply of spirit energy makes him a far more able Shinigami than she ever was! Soon Ichigo is taking Hollows down left and right, and has the help with other friends at school that have similar abilities. However, Rukia's transfer of power isn't allowed by the Soul Society (the name of the spirit world), and when their agents called Shinigami come to Earth to punish Rukia, Ichigo finds that he might have to challenge the entire Soul Society to save her."

Naruto Review



  Naruto is an anime that has been in hype since it first came out. Unfortunately, even if I don’t think poorly of this title, the buzz that is present in Naruto is plainly more hype than substance.
  If you ask me where this hype all comes from I will say watching the first episode is more than enough. Even before ending the first episode you can know what direction this anime is going to go towards. Naruto wanting to become the Hokage(strongest ninja).
