Story:
Basically 13 short little stories based on Japanese urban legends or myths. In my opinion season 5 is just short of being as good as season 1. The difference is so small that I still rate both as 7. Most of the stories seemed to focus on ghosts, which to me is extra scary. They brought the original Story Teller back, so that is awesome. The opening scene is still in the park, but the children are faceless now, there are a lot more of them, and to me they seem to move like zombies.
Animation:
The animation is still good, and they have an grainy effect,

Story:
A young girls moves to Tokyo to live with her aunt, and on the way gets involved in a new sport that is gripping the nation. This journey chronicles her journey through this new world that she has discovered. I personally enjoyed the story, especially the ending. Animation: Animation is nice. To me the style fits what this anime is supposed to be. Sound: The music is nice, I enjoy both the opening and closing themes. The Japanese voice acting is done very well. I have not heard the dub, so i can't say ...

Story:
A single man attends his grandfather's funeral, and finds to his shock, that his grandfather has a young daughter. None of the family wants to take care of her, so he gets angry and decides that he will care for her. This is the start of their life together and the story follows their growth and learning how to live with each other. My only "complaint" would be that I wish it was longer, but it's possible that if it was longer, then it would be too long. Animation: Very good animation, often brings into mind, watercolors ...

Story:
The story starts out making sense. But, then, they seem to forget about what is going on until near the end of the season. Of course, there is just a good chance that I missed something. There wad never an episode that was boring to me, so, I would say that it did it's job. Animation: The animation looked good to me. Nice, crisp and each character had a distinctive look to them. Sound: Can't think of anything to say about the sounds work. It was not bad, but didn't really cause me to ...

Asu no Yoichi!
(Anime)

Story:
Typical harem anime, guy shows up in a place (in this case a dojo) that for the most part is filled with girls and they all end up falling for him. Yoichi Karasuma has lived in the mountains his whole life, but is sent into the city by his father. Of course, he is going to stay in a dojo where 4 girls live. It is pretty amusing most of the time. Animation: Animation is done pretty well. It looks good and things seem to fit well. ...

Iwa Kakeru! Sport Climbing Girls
(Anime)
add
Story:
Kasahara Konomi ends up in a high school, after apparently not doing so well in middle school due to at least semi-professional levels of puzzle gaming. While wandering around trying to decide what club to join, she stumbles into the sports climbing club, gets interested, joins and almost instantly ends up in a tournament. I don't watch many sports animes, but this seems like a strange sport to focus on, but maybe that is just me. Konomi, of course, ends up doing really well, even up to the point of disheartening some of her opponents (who have been climbing for ...

Kamisama ni Natta Hi
(Anime)
add
Story:
To me the story is interesting because it starts out really strange with a girl dressed in a nun outfit running out of nowhere to the main character, and claming to be a god, and that the world will end in 30 days. It then morphs into a slice of life anime, although in a strange way because of the powers of the strange girl. Eventually I did pick up for the most part on what was going on because of clues that were dropped, even though my guess was not completely right. I have ...

Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!
(Anime)
add
Story:
Pretty simple story. Hana Uzaki ends up in the same college of her senpai from the high school swim team. After watching him basically just live for a year, she decides that he is a pathetic loner and decides that she will hang out with him, whether he likes it or not! It's pretty much just a slice of life comedy following Hana inserting herself into Shinichi's life. It's pretty fun, nothing that requires too much thinking, just basically the growth of their relationship. Animation: The animation was done well, nothing else really to say about it. Sound: The sound was done well. I enjoyed the music and the ...

add
Story:
Basically 13 short little stories based on Japanese urban legends or myths. All of them were interesting and in my opinion, done well. Every story is at the very least, creepy (some were downright scary), and it had me hooked from the first episode. Animation: At first this was a sticking point to me. The animation was extremely basic, but after a few episodes it grew on me and actually it fits very well with the asthetic of the show. The animation is based off of the Japanese paper theatre story tellers. It is done well for what it is trying to do. Sound: The sound is done very ...

Yami Shibai 2
(Anime)
add
Story:
Basically 13 short little stories based on Japanese urban legends or myths. In my opinion, this season is not as good as season 1. In season 1, every episode was scary, creepy and/or disturbing. This season 2 has only a few episodes that fill those criteria. Most of the episodes are just strange and/or make no sense. Still there were those few episodes that make me want to go on to watch the 3rd season. Just as a point of interest, in this season the narrator is in an amusement park instead of a playground. Animation: The animation is the same as in the 1st season. It ... |
