Introduction
Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield in an action packed zombie butt kicking, terrorism flick. Good movie =]

Story
The story is based around an airport at first where Claire Redfield is, and the Umbrella Corpration boss or someone similar is there also and some guy pretends to be a zombie protesting and gets arrested, all this eventually leads into the city needing to be purged and Unbrella Corprations kick ass zombie friends. Leon and Claire set out to stop them, just as you'd expect this follows the games pretty closely and even some mentions from Racoon City and the Mansion in RE1 :D

Art
The art in this was pretty amazing since it was a CG Animation, It's very good animation indeed.

Sound
The sound is as you'd expect from a Resident Evil movie, it's absolutely great, the atomosphere and music and OP EP and even down to the sound effects if weapons firing etc, I watched this on 2.1 speakers and it sounded pretty cinema quality :D

Characters
The characters in this CG are well designed as we saw them in the game, RE 4(Leon) and RE 2 (Claire) they have their own reasons for doing things and theres the tradegys you'd expect from any good anime with character backgrounds and the works =]

Enjoyment
Being a Resident Evil fan, I absolutely loved this movie, it certainly lived up to my expectations and I really enjoyed it. read more

Introduction
Having just finished this series yesterday, Having started watching it because it''s "similar to Elfen Lied", I was rather dissapointed at that, but a decent anime nonetheless.

Story
Cybord girlies who are trained assassins, Saved by the government secret organisation from life or death situation wether it be massacre or illness, and genetically changed into somewhat "Terminator girls". Fast and stronger than any normal person, let alone other children. They mature into their abilities rather than being typical children.

Art
This was pretty good, could've been way better, it's not bad at all and characters are well drawn as is scenary.

Sound
The music was nice, it was my highest rated part of the anime because it was pretty top notch for what the anime was.

Characters
Herietta is so KAWAAAAAAIII omg >.< Anyway, the characters don't seem to develop MUCH over the series but theres quite a bit of character development through some episodes. You can see how they change from almost lifeless, doll like machines, mindless and such into fully self-concious people, like highly sophisticated terminators or something :)

Enjoyment
This was okay I was a little disaapointed having come to see it as a Elfen Lied comparison but it was good and I've jut started on the second series ^_^ read more

Introduction
LOL Another anime i tried to find something wrong with...from my point of view...flawless.

Story
The story is basically about a guy who wants to become a police investigator to help judge criminals. While in university he stumbles upon a notebook on the floor which can kill peoples who names are written in it... its more complex than this but it works well as a great story, and in depth. This case is unknown to police no traces etc...eventually picked up by a detective who goes by the name of L. The story is a riddle of Yagami Light and L outwitting each other and both appear to be trying to catch the killer. And the posibility of several other killers?

Art
The art is pretty spectacular it's dark and interesting, nice to watch. The animation is everything but cheap.

Sound
This anime has great themes to match the anime and even if u dont like the OP or EP i think it will have limited audience but regardless the anime is great.
The BGM is well suited the the anime and adds to effect and atmosphere.
I'm looking for the sound track... enough said.

Character
The characters we're great and well designed. And very well portrayed what their appearance seemed to be...Above all the character development was awesome...you could see how the characters learn about each other and how they changed through the anime due to events of death note.

Enjoyment
This was one of my most enjoyed anime. It was competive between the characters. It was full of suspense and tension. It was interesting. Certainly enjoyable - and a truely deserved masterpiece. read more

Story
What we basically got here is immortal people and a nice evil plot for someone "eating memories". The story seems rather original and fits nicely into just 6 45 minute episodes. We have our fair share of action and gore in this also. The ending was far from disappointing and really enjoyable. Although I somehow don't feel as this deserves a 10 and not sure why, maybe theres something missing ^^ Oh! And theres a few nice twists ;)

Art
I liked the art in this anime it matched well with the genre and the effects we're cool. It could've been better but it was nice to watch.

Sound
I don't think everyone will enjoy the OP and EP. But I loved the music and sound effects through out this anime so I'm going to have to rate it 9 out of 10.

Character
The characters seemed rather in depth and backed up by great voice acting and watching how the characters develop through out the anime was interesting.

Enjoyment
I really enjoyed watching this and the sex-content wasn't too heavy. I wouldn't class this in with hentai because it wasn't over the top. It was a nice action fantasy with some cruel content and sex. If i was to relate this to any anime...I would say...a modified version of elfen lied with less romance / emotivness and added sex. read more

Introduction
I feel as if i wasted 2 hour of my life watching this but I will try to review it fairly...

Story
Ok, it wasn't too slow moving and it wasn't too quick, bonus points for rating. It had a nice sort of nature vs ironforge vs empire sort of story. It wasn't simply good vs evil, nature and ironforge both had their fair points to war, bonus points. The princes adventure... fair story... But I think the biggest let down was my expectations of the whole..."The Star Wars of animated features" and besides that the cool action sort of action style cover...yea...I can no't recall more than 30 seconsd (out of 2 hours 14 minutes) of decent action footage, nothing worth remembering except when he was first cursed and his first fight scene. Being generous because it was a decent fantasy adventure anime... 7 out of 10. Oh and for the record, my opinion, this was more like lord of the rings without as much action.

Art
The art was nice and a few nice scenes, animated well but could've been better 9 out of 10.

Sound
The sound went well with the movie although I feel the music could've been mor emotive it was a slight let down...compared to some anime i've seen this anime made me feel emotionless except for the kawaii wolf girlie <3

Characters
Ok well I think this is the one section that shines out on the anime as a whole, the character development seemed well done and they came along way to become slightly different people by the end of the anime. Yet again for a fantasy adventure i think this should've been a little more emotive...there was a possible love relationship going on too which could've added a little more depth to the characters overall effect on the anime.

Enjoyment
I enjoyed what was happenning but when it ended it all hit me like...wtf did i just watch? That was meant to be an animated star wars equivilent? NO WAY!!!

Overall
Looking for a good action flick? Go to TOKKO, FF Advent children, or Sword of the stranger because you will be greatly dissapointed here.

Fantasy Adventure fans? I don't think you should miss this providing you don't expect it to be any comparison to star wars...on the whole ill give it a 7 out of 10. read more

Introduction
This is the third time I've given an anime a straight 10. I tried for about 5 minutes even flicking back through the film, and I honestly can't find anything wrong with it. So here it goes.

Story
This to me was a pretty original story I can't think of anything that has this kind of story to it although I havn't seen every anime, this story line is far from common. At the beginning it starts like a normal adventure anime, a boy trying to find his way. Then he meets up with a Samurai (whose past I won't give away) They basically travel together for reasons I won't mention to safely take this boy to where he needs to be but theres one set of people trying to stop them. On top of this when he arrives everything isn't quite what he seemed and so it continues.

Art
The animation in this was very nice there was alot going on in the anime and I think it was all captured beautifully, fast fight scenes also with a dash of gore...stunning.

Sound
The closest thing I can think of the sound for this...is a masterpiece, to me it was like The Last Samurai... not because of the music but for how well it captured the escence of everything in the anime and how the samurai nature and ancient japan was perceived, very oriental also.

Character
The characters in this anime went through alot and you could see how their personalities was changing as events was hapenning. You see the main character develop alot through out the anime.

Enjoyment
Well as the third anime I've rated a straight 10 10 10 10 10 10. I think that answers this section.

I recommend this to anyone that fits into ANY of these catagories;
Action, Samurai, Adventure, Blood and Gore. ENJOY! read more

Intro
Ok having just finished watching this anime, another installment into the final fantasy series which great pride i present to you THE SPIRITS WITHIN!

lol ok being serious now...

Before I start this actual review...I RECCOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE WETHER YOU LIKE FINAL FANASTY OR NOT. If you don't like final fantasy then just treat it as a sci fi, fantasy film and pretend the full title is "The Spirits Within" without the final fantasy because without that title I wouldn't have gussed it was final fantasy. But AWESOME stand alone movie.

Story
The story to this is basically about a military of some kind against spirits...futuristic soldiers vs spirits. It was a good story and there seemed to be more to it than a simple good vs evil movie. I'm not sure what to put here without spoiling a part of the movie so I will simply say 8 out of 10...could've been a little mor emotive considering it was from the final fantasy series. Besides that it was awesome.

Art
Animation and art is this was spectacular I can't fault it in anyway the effects we're incredible and some scenes we're breathtaking.

Sound
The sound went well, as with any final fantasy the music is flawless. Right timings on the music coming in and going out. The correct theme music the right amount of build up and the right soft music for calming parts of the movie...from the soundtrack alone you can really tell that this is another masterpiece from Final Fantasy.

Character
Ok, I gave the characters a 9 because I felt they could have been more emotive slowly building up to the end sequence. The characters themselves we're well designed and you could feel in some parts how the characters was feeling but the lack of emotive scenes through out this movie prevented such a large scale connection with the characters...for this reason I mark it down to a 9.

Enjoyment
I really enjoyed this movie I thought it was great although the whole emotive scene lacking was a big let down for the Final Fantasy series. But well worth the watch. read more

Introduction
Firstly I'd like to say i read some other reviews and this is a very varied anime. (I have finished this anime before reviewing) It's like marmite / veggie mite lol You love it or hate it.

Story
While watching this I was always wondering what was going to happen next, have seen alot of horrors / slash 'em up movies and anime, I wasn't entirely sure what was going to happen through this. There was various suprising moments through-out the entire anime. The idea of demons trying to kill humans isn't as simple as it goes, that is just the impression you get at the start but there's a little more to it than that. Alchemists summoned the demons for certain reasons (I'll try not to give anything away to spoil the plot) Anyway theres a few twists and turns there was alot i didn't expect to happen that did. Yes, it could have been better, the ending was a little rapid and maybe it should've been 14 episodes, but this is the reason i don't make 10 out of 10 and only 8. It felt somewhat slightly rushed on the last episode, but I still enjoyed it.

Art
The art was somewhat different to other anime, it could be related to elfen lied in some ways, but in others it's nothing like it. The blood and gore was well drawn as was some of the characters, it was simple in alot of places yet effective but nothing special, so although I really like this anime I will have to mark this as just a 7.

Sounds
I don't know how anyone can say there was no ambience in this...it was full of it. I guess if you're not enjoying the anime you won't pay attention to little things like this. There wasn't a whole lot of BGM but the OP was nice and the EP was not too bad. Remember this section is about SOUND not just MUSIC though. The sound went well with the series although maybe they could've added a LITTLE bit more music. The sound of death, gore spilling, OP, EP, music in some places, ambience reverb effects, this HAS sound, just not a great deal of music or if there was I didn't notice too much of it. But what i heard was nice...7 out of 10.

Characters
I remember reading before about character's having limited emotions. But I think people forget one thing...from what happened in the story the characters was trying to make themself strong I don't think they would show much emotion after having been traumatised from the event that happened. I think people expect too much in certain circumstances instead of thinking about how they would really act in certain situations. I'm giving this a 8 out of 10 because the characters represented themselves well and I really don't think I'd act any different given the same situation, I think it would be hard to show anymore on character development because you had someone who rarely talked, to having convosations because of how someone effected her. If you really take a step back and look at this, theres alot to the majority of the characters.

Enjoyment
I may watch this again...I think I probabaly will. It was nice to watch, it was entertaining, blood gore, character development, not to the extent of elfen lied but it was good! 7 out of 10! read more

Intro
This anime just gets better and better - I can't wait for the next movie!!!

Story
Okay episoded 1....confusing...episoded 2...confusing stuff was explained...now finally episode 3...OMG this episode was seriously amazing and I just keep rating each episode higher and higher one way or another, mae sure you watch the previous two before watching this anime though.

Art and Sound
(Same as 1 and 2) The art work and sound doesnt lack at all from the previous installments :D

Character
Little more character development I slowly feel myself starting to know who the characters are we get further through the anime, it's nice watching them develop and wondering where they may end up by the end of the 7 movies.

Enjoyment
OMG WTF im so disapointed that number 4 isnt out yet T_T This episode was so freaking cool.

YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS SERIES! read more

[B]Intro
Ok having have the hell confused out of my brain, In my opinion this series totally redeemed itself and brought a fantastic come back with number 2 in the series. Here it goes...

Story
The story was great and has a nice but unexpected link with the first movie which was the murder mysteries. This episode also explained more about the characters and even answered questions that confused me in the first installment. Looking at it from a periodical point of view this episode SHOULD have been before the first movie to avoid confusiion but having watch the next few episodes maybe there will be a reason why. 9 out of 10 for story I just couldn't bring myself to put this at the same mark as my favourite anime. But it's still great, 8 would be way too low =]

Art
The art was just as good as the first and just as bloody. I enjoyed looking at the art in this one alot more too because i was rattling my brain with questions that was never answered.

Sound
The music as with the first installment went really well and made this so much mor enjoyable.

Character
AH! The redemption of confusing that the first installment gave...characters we're pretty much explained and it doesnt only talk about the characters pasts, it takes us back to witness it in a full hour episode by jumping back in the episode timeline! Which i think it a great addition, but hey it worked with star wars, why not here?

Enjoyment
This is a really good anime so far. At first episode confusing then a HUGE redemption. I hope this to get even better and I think i will probabaly watch this series again sometime if it stays as good as this episode was. And if it gets better hey! Might even find some of the episodes up with my favourite anime! Although I only rated this an 8 it's still growing on me from the prequels failure to satisfy my anime requirements, lol!

ENJOY! worth the watch! read more
