Winter Sonata revolves around a love triangle between Yujin, Sanghyuk and Joonsang. There are many one sided loves involved and the heartbreaking moments are constant. There was barely any down time for me to recover from all the sad happenings.

Throughout the series, the love triangle creates the domino effect: hurting one after or another.

The art is nothing to be amazed at, but it's nice enough to enjoy. The animations were a little rough, but overall, it's appealing to the eye.

My favorite character would have to be Sanghyuk. In my mind, he suffered the most throughout the whole plot. *Light spoilers* He leads a one ... sided love with Yujin, trying to replace the shoes of her first love for 10 years...from Yujin's perspective, she dragged Sanghyuk through the mud knowing deep down she never once loved Sanghyuk while he's pouring out everything for her. She lied to him, accepting his marriage proposal. Even after all the confessions from Yujin, he always stood by her. For me at least, he was the bigger man and did all he could for her. Overall, his character hit me the hardest and despite the ending, I still feel he's suffering inside.

So! Watch this if you want a romance story that will keep you on your edge, urging you to find out what's going to happen next!

I'll be honest, at first I was stirred away from this anime due to the eyes. Yes, I'm a biased person when it comes to the art. If it doesn't look appealing, I won't watch it, but I decided to give this one a chance because all my friends recommended and I'm glad I did.

The anime makes you really care for each character and how they come together at hard times.

I'll just keep it short, if you want a loveable plot with excellent character personalities, give this a shot. Now I'm off to go watch the 2nd season, After Story.

I absolutely enjoyed this anime. This one is a little longer than the usual ones I've watched, but overall, the enjoyment factor is high.

Lots of comical moments. Misaki is a very like-able character. She can play the cute and sexy role in my eyes.

The only real gripe with me is that they brought someone in near the end that you would think play a major role in the series, but they just throw him to the side leading to the ending.

The music wasn't really catchy to me, but the voice acting was fine for me.

Overall, if you want a love-able female protagonist that tries to ... search for her true feelings while taking the role of student council president and leading a role as a Cafe Maid, go for it! Very enjoyable anime romance and comical wise.

For me, the story was compelling. With each episode that passed by, I yearned for what the story was behind each character and their history.

I don't wanna spoil anything, but I will say the romance is very light in this anime. It focuses more on each character's past, relation to each other; friendship.

The art didn't shout out "cute!", but I don't know, it was very "calm" looking to me. Not too flashy, but not too boring either.

If you like drama/mysteries such as a person's history, I would say give this anime a shot. Overall, it was a thrill to watch.

Let me start off with this statement: Don't let the incest stop you from watching this Anime.

Personally I was a little hesitant myself, but after finishing this series, I enjoyed it very much.

Story wise, I was pleasantly happy with. When two are in love, why should anything else stop them? It's the same that goes with gays/lesbians. Why can't they be together? Because society won't accept it? So their feelings must be constricted and covered by a blanket of lies in order for society to accept them? Haruka tried exactly that with Nao; trying change himself in order for society to accept him, but deep ... down he knew he loved Sora.

The soundtrack was amazing, consisting of mainly piano pieces. The voice acting was also straight on. I really felt the emotions through them.

The art was also beautiful. The characters were drawn beautifully. The only real grip with me is that the nipples looked a little awkward for some reason.

I loved the emotional states of each character and Haruka tends to them all.

Overall, I say watch it if you want a story that teaches about personal moral and how society affects one's love for another.

I absolutely loved Gundam 00.

The plot was what pulled me in the most: Government manipulation, the result of people trying to end wars by starting more wars; how things translate to the real world we live in today. There were many things we as people, can relate to this series.

The Gundam designs were slick. This time around, much less than from something like Wing or Seed/Destiny. Exia is still one of my all time favorite designs.

The character development was great! Hallejuah/Allejuah had the cool dual personality, a caring and loving side with a plate of psychotic side. The rest of the cast were also ... enjoyable.

To simplify it, it's an evolution series of Gundam Wing, more polished.

Overall, if you like a story driven Gundam with your side of Mecha action, Gundam 00 should satisfy you.

Generally the stereotype is that guys like big breasts on a girl and of course, this anime preaches that. Unfortunately, it really takes away from the Anime for me. It's really exaggerated and kinda made it really un-enjoyable for me.

However, the fight scenes (unfortunately many were present) were pretty cool.

The story was meh. Some of the things that are mentioned throughout the plot didn't connect.

Sound was pretty good (ending song was pretty comical).

The ending was very...awkward and weird.

To simplify, if you like big breasts, some light comical moments and light action, I'd say give it a shot.

Really loved this anime. The first episode made me a little un-easy on which direction the series was heading, but I really enjoyed it.

The art style is your typical cutesy goog-ley eyes (sorry don't know the Japanese term for it if there is one).

I will the 2 episodes or so really was a letdown. Subaru was the main love interest and it was elaborated through the whole season, but the last few episodes just threw her to the side and decide to make it about Nakuru.

Subaru was very cute and adorable. Kanade made a lot of the comical intros. and she also had her own ... cute/sexy appeal. Overall, all the characters were enjoyable throughout the series for me.

I'm really hoping for a 2nd season especially since the last episode did not even seem like an ending episode. If you love the typical girl hates guy in the beginning and falls in love with him through the time they spend together, this is right up your alley.
