"Little Witch Academia" is simply wonderful. It is a short, heart-warming "if you believe in yourself, you can do anything" sort of story. The art style is very creative and original, and the animation is very good and feels lively. The characters are memorable, the designs are memorable, and the music that goes with it is great. The main thing about this that sucks is that, once it's over, it leaves you wanting more! It really deserves to have it's own series, or atleast a full length movie. Overall, it is DEFINITELY worth watching, no matter what genre you mainly focus on, as long as you aren't only into one genre and don't watch anything else(Unless that genre is magical girl or wizards/witches type anime, in which case, this is still your genre). read more

This one shot was pretty good, but, it had it's flaws. I think the main thing is that, it is too short. Even an extra 20 pages would have really helped it, although, a 1-volume manga probably would have been the best length. The ending, while not very expected, felt rushed and un-finished, and, it would have given the characters more time to develop. Also, it starts off with some deep-sounding stuff about how people think of their lives as clocks, but, it never really went anywhere with that. The art is good, but it would have been nice if it broke out of a generic shoujo style. Overall, this is good if you want something quick to read, but, it really has flaws that could have been avoided. read more

This manga was not necessarily bad. The art was good(If a bit messy), the characters were fairly well, and I did like it. The only thing is that, it just wasn't memorable. I just finished the last chapter today, and, while I did take a long break from reading it, so, maybe some of it shook my memory, there are certain mangas that I haven't read for years, and years, and years, and I can still very clearly remember them. This manga was not like that. The plot never made itself important to me, the characters never got me to love them. Even if I enjoy the Black Rock Shooter Project, this was probably my least favorite series or spin-off of it. Also, while I did like the art, I couldn't give it a full 10, because, the messiness sometimes made certain scenes harder to understand. Overall, if you are a big Black Rock Shooter fan, this might be worth looking into, but, otherwise, this is a fairly average manga. read more

One thing I really like about Wooser no Sono Higurashi is that it is very relaxing. You don't need to follow a complicated plot, there aren't a thousand characters- very simple. It has a good voice acting cast, I was pleasantly surprised when I learned that Miyano Mamoru was in it, a voice actor which has been in many other great animes. It's also a good anime for when you don't have time to sit around for hours watching anime, since the episodes are very short. The animation is fairly good, although, one thing I would have liked is if they didn't do the "using 3D models that look 2D"(Atleast, I think that is what it is) trick that a lot of animation studios seem to have been using lately, and just used normal 2D animation styles, as the former isn't my cup of tea. Although, it does do a fairly good job of making it look like normal 2D animation anyways, so it's not a major issue. I'd recommend this anime to, well, anyone! It is not the kind of thing where you have to be a really specific type of fan to enjoy it, and it is very short, so if you watch it and dislike it, it isn't a big loss of time. Thanks for reading! read more

This is another nostalgia inducing movie. The good old days of Pokemon before it started going through extreme changes. It has many old favorites, many legendary Pokemon, and good villains. I cannot remember it in extreme detail, but, if you haven't watched this Pokemon movie yet, I highly recommend it. It is pure enjoyment and overall will likely just make you feel good. If you are highly critical or dislike childish things, maybe this isn't for you, but if you just like to sit back and relax at something without a horribly complex plot, this is really good for that. Thanks for reading.

While "Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu" was an okay anime, it was much too over-rated. Maybe the second season will make it more interesting, but for the first season atleast, it was pretty much a "Haha, laugh at that joke and hear that somewhat interesting thing" type anime. The ending didn't really feel like an ending. The characters were cool, but nothing that memorable. An over-the-top tsundere, a normal school boy, a bishie-ish boy, a kuudere, and a shy girl who always gets into perverted situations. To be honest, none of the characters personalities were original. They were well played in certain ways, but not original. Except maybe the "Normal school boy" Kyon, because most Normal school boys aren't complain-y. Although he was still like a submissive dog. The art style wasn't unique, but I will give it credit for being detailed. Anyways, Haruhi Suzumiya is a an entertaining anime, but not a masterpiece or anything. Probably a lot of people will disagree with my opinion, but, that's just how I feel. read more

Black Rock Shooter OVA was a terrible anime. Good character designs, okay story, but so many plot holes, and after leaving us waiting for Black Rock Shooter for almost a year, it was a huge disappointment. But, Black Rock Shooter TV version was perfect, and definitely is what should have been expected for an anime that made us wait so long. The character development was better, plot holes were filled, there were shocking moments, touching moments, and it was all around better. Even if you hated the Black Rock Shooter OVA, I recommend you give Black Rock Shooter TV a try. Thanks for reading.

Steins;Gate is currently one of my favorite anime series of all time. Something that bothered me though was that all of the promotional posters seemed to be bikini art, and so, when I heard there was a special, I thought right away it would probably be a fanservice beach episode, which annoyed me. Luckily though, that wasn't true at all- it is far from that. The animators and writers of this show really decided to make a nice special episode, not some fanservice crap that Steins;Gate doesn't deserve. While there was one thing that bothered me about it, it was mainly for shipping and fanon related reasons, so, I am not going to let my rating of it go down just because of shipping and fanon. If I leave out the shipping and fanon that I mentioned earlier, this is a perfect episode. Definitely one of the better specials I have seen for series. I recommend any fan of Steins;Gate watch this as soon as possible. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy the anime!

Pokemon is extremely nostalgic for me, and, this was a really good Pokemon movie. I've attempted to watch some of the newer Pokemon movies, and, while they were okay, they just weren't as good as the old Pokemon. If you enjoy the more nostalgic days of Pokemon, I strongly recommend this movie. It's got a good plot, fun, and is strongly entertaining, even though it's made for kind of a younger kid age group. But, with that, if you have young relatives you want to introduce anime to but don't want to show them the less child friendly ones, this is also a good start. Pokemon did a really good job with it's first movie. I hope that you enjoy watching the first Pokemon movie, and that you enjoyed this review or got something from it, at least. Thank you for reading! read more

Honestly, this might have been one of the worst manga I've ever read. The ending was completely unexplained, but, not in the good way, or the mysterious way, just in the lazy, confusing way. To begin with, barely much was explained, and, during those few chapters, barely anything happened. Now, while it may be a short manga and therefore not have very much time to put in details, I've seen manga much shorter than this that have been much, much better. This is based off of a visual novel, so maybe the story is better told and more clear in the visual novel, but, as a manga, this is just horrible. I would recommend avoiding this manga, and, if you want an science fiction thriller-type series, try a MUCH better manga based off of a game from the same company, Steins;Gate. Overall, the only thing even mildly good about this manga was the art, but that's still only decent, and not very original. Thanks for reading. read more
