I just want to start by saying, I know for some hardcore Gundam fans, Unicorn is not a 10/10. The second thing I want to say is I have watched Zeta, ZZ, and the original Mobile Suit Gundam in their entirety, along with many OVA's, and some other Gundam series, and I love most of them (aside from Wing and 00 but that's not why I'm here).
In my personal opinion, Unicorn is an excellent treat for any fan who manages to make it that far in the UC timeline. I don't usually review things so I wont go into meticulous detail to paint a
...
picture for you, but for me Unicorn succeeds on all fronts.
It depicts war in the typical Gundam fashion (that being anti-war) and does it well. It succeeds by creating a cast of characters who cannot be seen as simply good or bad, across a handful of different sides in the war. It develops its primary cast in a decent fashion despite it's 7(ish) hour runtime, and succeeds in creating compelling characters and narrative.
Visually, in my opinion it is single-handedly the greatest Gundam experience you can watch. Meticulous detail is applied to every frame, and I couldn't take my eyes off of it for even a second over the runtime of it's 7 OVA episodes. There is some use of 3D, but honestly I could barely tell because it was handled so well. The 2D animation throughout is just so gorgeous.
Hiroyuki Sawano handles the music/sound in Unicorn and does a phenomenal job like always. Every background song hits at just the right moment, including most of the outro songs.
In terms of story, I can I say I personally really loved it. It was easy enough to follow with some surprising developments throughout and a nice climax, with nods to previous UC series and some more blatant references such as someone who looks suspiciously similar to a guy we once knew as Char Aznable.
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn feels like it was crafted with love. It doesn't just feel like a commercial for toys, unlike some Gundam series.
I'm honestly not that great of a reviewer which is why I tend to avoid reviewing things, but I want to add to the praise for Unicorn so people know it's definitely worth watching, but I highly recommend you go through the trouble of watching MSG, Zeta and ZZ first. It'll be that much more worth it!
TLDR: An amazing culmination of a big chunk of the UC timeline, worth watching for any fan of the series who made it this far and wants a treat for their eyes and ears.

Normally I wouldn't think to give something a score this low, you might think "seriously a 1?" for me personally it was that bad. To summarize a bit, Don't Meddle With My Daughter (or in Japanese, Don't Meddle In My Daughter) is an apparently western-comic/superhero inspired Manga, featuring mind-numbing amounts of fan service to the point where it can't even be called that anymore.
The characters have zero going for them, their personalities are almost non-existent as they exist solely to be raped by the villains or their creations. The main "plot" is simply this goddess had a child on earth and her child is
...
taking over her job as being a superhero. They basically both have the same powers as Superman, and I already didin't like Superman.
Every chapter is them getting into another kerfuffle that ends with tons of nudity and a lot of the time sex to. It's essentially a soft core Hentai with a plot worse than most Hentai. Nothing has any substance in it whatsoever, and I'm shocked the creator claims this was a passion project for him and that he really wanted to make a strong leading female character.
People might scream "feminist" if I decide to mention this, and I know Anime/Manga isin't always the best for portraying strong female characters, but this brings it down to another level I did not expect. As mentioned earlier, it's the equivalent to a Hentai in how much value the author has put into his characters. The females are nothing but objects, with barely any personality to back them up other than "I'm a super hero I want to save the day". Every villain is just as bland and forgettable and usually involve either getting naked themselves or turning our main characters naked as well.
I don't have much else to say since it was so unpleasant and bland, however I'll end it by mentioning that the art also does the series zero justice. It's very average, and at some times bad even. It looks like fan-art throughout, essentially something akin to Deviantart. I'm shocked the creator has done something popular before this, and I have never checked out Dance in the Vampire Bund, but if this series is anything to go by, I want nothing to do with the creator or any of his work.
Downright trash.
1/10 Overall.

This will be my first and possibly only review, as I feel this anime truly deserves it, if I'm going to review one anime, I want it to be this one. This anime is a masterpiece. I'll start out the story. I can't really explain the story as it would give away the fun of watching it unfold, but I will say this, it's a coming of age story about two friends. The art is sadly what will turn many people away from it, as it already has unfortunately. The art did not bother me a single second, I found it worked well and showed
...
everything perfect and it's actually very close to the manga itself (which I have no read, I have just seen pictures). It's a shame the art has turned so many people off without a second glance, but I think everyone should give this a watch. I'm not telling a lie when I say it truly is a masterpiece. Passing over from the art, I think the sound is outstanding. The entire soundtrack, including the opening and ending are amazing, and everything sounds great. The characters are all outstanding and great as well, as not a single one is really unlikable. They are all interesting, and very realistic. I enjoyed this anime a ton, and finished it in two days. I watched the first two episodes the first day, and the rest the second day. Overall I would give this anime a ten out of ten. And I think anyone who has eyes and is able to see should watch this. Maybe even blind people should give it a chance. It's a masterpiece, and I know I have already said that, but I'll say it again. There is truly no anime like this one. Another thing I would like to add to end this off is I was crying during the final episode. Almost nothing makes me cry, so I was extremely surprised, yet happy. At the end of the final episode I was content.

Diamond is Unbreakable is the continuation of the jojos bizarre adventure series and a great one at that. The story all happens in one town, which also makes it all that more amazing. The art is amazing as always, but this time I think it really stands out as great. I won't spoil much about the story but it is a very unique and cool one. The character designs are very cool and actually prove you can relate to some of them since most of them are high school students. Lots of cool stand abilities and characters and I enjoyed this maybe more than a
...
lot of people. My favorite Jojo story to date and I would recommend it to anyone. Overall a 9.5/10

Vento Aureo is a continuation of the JoJo's Bizarre adventure series. Although its a great installment to the series, I do believe it is the weakest I have read thus far in the series. Possibly partially due to the characters I have trouble relating to and the mediocre translation. Starting off with the story, the story is pretty much the same as the other parts of jojo. There are enemies and the main characters must fight them, which is what it pretty much boils down to. The main characters are all gangsters which again is something that particularly just makes me a little less interested.
...
Overall the story is good though, but just good and nothing more. The art is amazing in my opinion, and I think Araki never stops being awesome at drawing. The characters are pretty cool with cool designs, and the new stands introduced are very unique and cool. I enjoyed it but unlike the past parts I did not feel like reading it anymore sometimes, and waited a long time before I finished.
