Anime Review - Maria Holic

Another anime that didn't appeal to me too well, sadly. This review has one honorable aspect though, it's the first review that isn't either a rewrite or a repost from MAL. I will write it smoother and not too held on the grid this time, while trying to mention all the important aspects, and list individual ratings seperately.

When I started with Maria Holic (excuse my inability to write a fxcking cross lol), I wanted to see some funny story with GL moments all over and a shocking surprise at the end. I got none of it, even though they intended it as a comedy. Many of the used jokes seemed quite cliché or unamusing to me, I grinned or laughed maybe like a few times, and nothing was excessive. Where we go now - There's no story to follow at all, it's just these jokes all over. I couldn't enjoy this anime too well. Not even the expected GL romance, aside from some of Kanako's fantasies. As for the characters, their personalities were unique enough, but predictable and sometimes annoying. Art was fine though, and the opening was pretty amazingly done, while the ending was quite catchy.

Not too enjoyable for my expectations, but well if you like pretty cliché humor, or simply this kind of humor, go for it.

Anime Review - Mirai Nikki

I must say, this was an very enjoyable anime. Despite lack of time because of school and many other things, everytime I sat behind the computer to watch Mirai Nikki I enjoyed my time. So if you like detective+psychological animes (yeah even though it's not labeled detective it had that feel), or just want some constant excitement, if you watch this anime, you're gonna have a good time.

Story - 10/10...Much a higher number.
One word: Fascinating. It goes at a good pace, it wasn't the usual thing you find everywhere in animes, not your usual good vs. evil. Sometimes you could tell that some of the opponents had good intentions actually, forexample when Keigo became the enemy to save his son. And sometimes you get the feeling the main protagonists are the evil ones. Nope, you ain't resting or getting anything run-of-the-mill. Enjoy.

Art - 9/10
Art may be the weakpoint of this anime. But well, even though it could be better, it wasn't the kawaii-desu you meet in several animes. The company tried hard drawing it well so 9/10

Sound - 10/10
OPs and EDs caught my music taste, and I even remember hearing a bit of one OST and still recalling it because it was awesome. Yup, gets full points from me. (Though Yuno's VA is slightly over the hat at times, but not to the extent it would be incredibly annoying)

Characters - 10/10
I like how the author worked with heavy psychologization. We could tell the character's personality, feelings, everything. There were no blurries, nothing half-assed spotted, how characters react while believing in something, and when they learn it's wrong. Well done!

Enjoyment - 10/10...Much a higher number. 
As I mentioned above, I never felt bored while watching Mirai Nikki. This might aswell be the first anime achieving that.

Overall - 10/10...Much a higher number. 
Favourited and I have no words left to say. I thought the animes I gave a reserve and favourited were awesome, but this extended them pretty much everything. 

Recommended to: People bored of animes that go really usual, people who enjoy psychological detective animes and/or people who want really wicked love stories

Anime Review - Mars of Destruction

Can´t tell if this review is as bad as MAL´s community says, but I hope it´s not and they´re just trolling for the lulz... I was like CHALLENGE ACCEPTED when I saw a 19-minute long anime that´s considered worst on MAL. I didn´t consider it as bad...but yeah.

Here goes:

I bet this is supposed to be a parody on where anime is leading according to some people, or simply sci-fi anime. Could work for moe anime as well. As I am looking at it from every possible aspect, I found this anime just slightly below average.

Story - 3/10
The story could go out way better, if it wasn't up for parodyzing. The ones they implemented was really simplified, and the one they could implement at the end didn't get implemented at all. If I were to rework this anime, it could turn out awesomer and not taken as a parody. But eh.

Art - 6/10
It was OK, I've seen way worse. 2005.... I'd say 2002 or so, but ok. It was not too "kawaii desu" as I am lately getting tired of that style. I guess six points will cut it.

Sound - 2/10
...was there anything mentionable? No. But I've still heard worse things in my life.

Character - 2/10
No personality, whatosever, no deep feelings, nothing. Still better than School Days' characters which were just freaking dumb in all aspects. But I guess they were symbolic so yeah.

Enjoyment - 5/10
I took it as an parody, so I relatively enjoyed it. It wasn't too amusing though, so in the medium of bored and amused, so five points.

Overall - 4/10
They say this anime is the worst, but I've seen way worse for my tastebuds. Take my taste as wicked if you like. Note that I've handled this as a parody, I don't know whether it was intended to be like that, but it will forever stay a parody for me.

Reccomended for:  People who are tired of moe/sci-fi anime.  

Anime Review - Persona 4 the Animation

I will admit I haven't watched Trinity Soul to this point. I will watch it someday but I don't know whether it will affect my rating on this anime. I haven't played the game either, but I want to someday.

But now to the point...People usually expect animes based off video games to suck, since well it's better to play it than to watch it. True, but I haven't played the game yet. I haven't got any PlayStation 2 at home as of now. Though, I'm playing a persona-related game online called Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine and that had a positive effect on my rating for this anime. And so this anime made it to my favourites.

Now for the review.

Story 9/10
Beggining was a bit repetitive and slow-paced. But not the type that bored me to death, for a unknown reason it was pretty nice. Probably because I liked the unveiling of the characters' personalities. After the repetitiveness, the anime took up the puzzling aspect of a detective anime and when Naoto joined the team, all got totally complicated, so as the characters were resolving it, that amused me. Got 9 points out of 10 in the end.

Art 10/10
No flaws. The artstyle maked the characters look pretty mature, and how they looked like with glasses was lovely GJ

Sound 9/10
Nothing astonishing, but sound was quite catchy.

Character 10/10
YES! Advanced personality. Not all the unidentificable black and white, relatively mature way of thinking, even some unique kind of traits. I really liked the characters of this anime. Yu Narukami's personality amused me at times. GJ

Enjoyment 10/10
Combining touching episodes, investigation episodes, fighting, and simple slice of life episodes, adding a tad bit of good humour and gay jokes + SMT:I demon referrences, this anime really WAS enjoyable for me and I can't deduct any point from it. GJ

Overall 10/10
Favourited. Awesome!

Recommended for: All 'Imaginers' who enjoy what I named in enjoyment.

Anime Review - D.Gray-man

Again, revised one! Or more like...rewritten one. The one I wrote there was really bad.

D.Gray-man makes the ring of a classical generic shonen at first glance. With that you can expect long fightings, bad animation, boring fillers, etc etc... but not with this anime.
I have to admit, when I looked at the length I was hestitant. I expected something similar to Naruto or Bleach, but I still got into it since I wanted to see whether this is also a let-down. And the contrary happened - D.Gray-man became one of my all-time favourites and regained my trust in shonen animes.

Actually it has a seinen ring to it. And the manga is godly.

Story - 10/10
Seems low-paced at the start, but in the second half it caught up into a stable sequence and I couldn't clearly tell the borders of the arc which is a really good thing. It even begins to take your breath and pulls you into shocks. Some episodes show the unexpected and what you thought was impossible. Make sure you don't give up on the first half, though. Detail: This is probably the only anime I saw with enjoyable fillers that actually go to the plot very well.

Animation - 9/10
Can't say it's flawless. But it's really nice for a shonen anime. The characters mature in the progress which is a positive thing, and the boys are drawn very handsome. Detail: In the manga, the recent artstyle is pretty much 10/10.

Sound - 10/10
Openings: Nice, Endings: Nice, Seiyuu: Fine. All's well.

Character - 10/10
Yep. The character of the characters was clear to tell in the most cases. A kind guy who wants to help everyone, a nice girl that cares about everyone, an arrogant sexy bastard <3 who doesn't show his deepest emotions, and a cheerful perverted young man! You can describe most of the cast as easy like this. Can't put down points.

Enjoyment - 10/10 - goes even above.
This anime can be seen several times after eachother and still be enjoyed by some people, I'm one of them. I can't say any more than I loved it.

Overall - 10/10
Favourited. There are not much anime that turn out like this. I have to admit it wasn't the MOST ORIGINAL anime I've ever seen but...I don't really care about that much anymore.
Who do I reccomend this to: All people that like to watch shonen animes and would love to see them develop slightly more. Then, girls who like to see pretty boys, and yaoi shippers. And basically anyone beside people who rate their anime very strictly, people who seek for incredibly original anime and people who have a grudge against shonens.

Anime Review - Tenjou Tenge

Normally I just copy over my own reviews from MAL, but this one is revised.

Tenjou Tenge. A grand name by first hearing probably, but to be honest... This anime isn't good at all. It's the type of anime that will bore you to death, eventually.
Story - 2/10 
Up to episode 9 everything was fine, story was decent and all. But then they decided to butt in the huge flashback. It was overmentioned already, so why extend it and always go back in time. It literally lost its story at that point.
Art - 2/10 
The anatomy was blown, the character designs weren't nice at all to me... Naruto was better.
Sound - 4/10
Catchy opening, but nothing grand. And nothing else is mentionable... 
Character - 2/10
To name the characters in other words - Strange face. Annoying girl. Try-to-act-cool boy, Unimportant black hopper. ...and Maya. She was the only character I liked a bit, FROM THE ENTIRE CAST. But not in child form.... Better than School Days's cast, atleast that went well on this anime.
Enjoyment - 1/10
To put it simple, I was bored as hell with this one....I tried to watch it, but I almost slept in. God, why the long flashback?! We know the outcome, so why remind on it all....
Overall - 2/10
Bored me to death. Watch this only if tits are all that matter.

Anime Review - School Days

Short version: *epic orbital holy facepalm*

Long version:
You might just stumble across my review and say haters gonna hate, but I dislike this anime for a legit reason. 
Let me get it straight- I don´t hate psychological anime, I have one in my favourites, actually. But this anime features incredibly stupid characters, that make the story go all facepalm-worthy. I couldn´t enjoy it well and raged every second. The ending was decent though, and this anime only describes "psychological" at the end. Moving onto the single particles...I´ll start with the best. 

Sound - 9/10
It wasn´t a OST to throw me out of the chair, but I liked it. Opening was indeed great music and the EDs were listenable, though I mostly skipped them. But see no flaws, good job.

Art - 6/10
Sometimes the movement got stuck on a picture, and I think it could have been done better, but it was OK

Rest is below average.

Story - 3/10 At first the story got me thinking "This will be a sweet shoujo anime." I didn´t look at the genres but I heard it has several endings so I can pick. Then I got mindfucked at the end of episode 1. After that I got busy and recently picked it up again.... I was astonished (in a really bad way) how the story was affected by character stupidity and it made me hate almost all of the cast. So I sticked to the bad end and I must say it could´ve been way nicer and better.

Enjoyment - 1/10 Character stupidity was very dominant, I couldn´t enjoy the plot of the anime at all. I really facepalmed all the way through the anime, sometimes even past my facepalm limits (orbital facepalm) and raged out on Skype to my friends from the Vocamania community.

And lastly, the worst part of the anime...
Characters - 1/10 but actually some sub-zero number.
I swear...The characters acted all irrational and stupid. I had no idea what was going on in their brains during the story, the only thing I got was that they snapped to the end. I needed orbital facepalms, rages and tableflips to pull through this.

Overall: 2/10
Considering most of the anime I watch I usually rate higher than 5, and the worst rating I've ever given is 2, it was a really bad anime, although the 2 is high, meaning it's still better than Tenjou Tenge IMO. But I can't reccomend it to anyone. Really.....Don´t watch this, unless you want to blow your brain with facepalms.

Anime Review - Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi

Mnemosyne is an anime which has a name hard to spell, but it's quite enjoyable, I gotta admit... I liked it, but I can't say it would be something truly breathtaking. 

Story - 9/10 
Looking at the storyline of these from a broader aspect, it was indeed nicely done. The characters had no objective at first, but they developed into something really grand. It was really very original, but it could be interpreted in a slightly more breathtaking way for sure. 9 is a really good mark.

Art - 8/10
Looking mature there, aren't we? Artstyle was nice, though sometimes it was drawn a bit too spicy for my mind ( o.///o). And the males could've turned out sliightly better.

Sound - 10/10
Saw no severe flaws in voice acting, and the opening and ending were rockish which I really like. Full point count.

Enjoyment - 7/10
45-minute episodes (Doctor Who style lolol) are pretty tough to bite through. But if I were to compare Doctor Who to this (i know now you're going to ask what the heck am I doing? xD), Mnemosyne's episode really seemed 45 minute long while Doctor Who seemed like 25. The interestingness of Mnemosyne was decent, but it could be way better indeed. Still above average, not much repetitiveness and not much flashbacks. Some moments left me like WTF am I watching but in the end I liked it much more than hated.

Overall - 8/10
High 8 indeed. I was thinking a while whether 8 or 9, I might raise it to 9 later. It is a good anime, but nothing that I would favourite and adore forever. Also could be a bit better, but I'm content with how it turned out. :)

To whom I recommend this?: If you seek for extreme originality and detective animes, AND like boobies and lesbian and heterosexual sex hints, this anime is paradise for you. If you like some of it, you may want to give it a try :)
