Clannad: After Story... Is just gorgeous.
Story - 9 - The story is just a slice of life, but it is a true beautiful work of art. There is a hint of something fantasy in Clannad, a different world that is void of life except one girl and her robot. They only show small clips of this, but how they tie it into the main story in the end was amazing. However, it still confused me a bit...
Art - 10... No, 100 - The art in this show is beyond amazing, it's the work of a dedicated master. The movement is more than fluid, it's beyond
...
perfect. Plus, there are so many tiny details that make it seem more realistic, details you couldn't find in any other anime. I just love the art.
Soundtrack - 10 - What else is there to say..? It's gorgeous, and every beat goes with every moment, creating the perfect mood that is guaranteed to make you cry or laugh. Whoever made this anime put a lot of work into it.
Characters - 10 - The characters are simply perfection. They all develop in amazing ways, and become more and more realistic as they go along. I simply adore the addition of the new character you'll see if you watch this anime. She is sweet and way too cute.
Overall, this anime is just a work of genuis, and no matter what your taste in anime is, you should at least give Clannad a chance. I haven't seen the last two episodes because the story... Kind of finishes at about episode 22, so I don't see a need to watch the last two...
Anyway, I loved this anime, and sometimes I'd sob at scenes, get angry at others, then laugh in others. It's touching and amazing, I recommend it to everyone. Don't give up at that "certain scene" in episode 15 or 16 or whatever episode it was, because the end is perfect.

There's really no error in this anime. Perhaps occasionally, it can be somewhat repetitive, but the comedy never gets tiring. This show had me staying up late to watch it, trying desperately to hold back my constant giggling as to not awaken my parents.
The story isn't what makes Ouran High School Host Club shine... It's the characters. This is probably the only anime (or one of the only ones) that combines comedy and drama perfectly. You'd think you couldn't have a little touching moment in a comedy? Think again. The elements of this anime are combined so smoothly and perfectly.
Some of the characters develop quite
...
a bit through the course of the show, while others take only small steps in the direction of change. Some have somewhat difficult back-stories, others not as much. The series was altogether enjoyable in every prospect, but those final two episodes were amazing.
If anyone can glue together drama and comedy so perfectly without leaving any gaps or troubles between the two sides, it's the creator of Ouran High School Host Club. It may not be for everyone, but it worked well for me, and I'd recommend this anime to anyone who loves good comedy with gorgeous character development.

This anime is like, super awesome. I don't even know where to start... Uh... Well, let's start with what everyone starts with, the plot.
Plot - 10 - This anime is enthralling to the maximum. The plot is unique and original, and makes for a ton of fun. I suppose it depends on your taste in anime, but you should really give this a try at the very least. The show NEVER gets repetitive or boring, and it kept me on edge the whole time I watched it. Every human who's seen this usually asks themselves this same question... "What would I have done with a
...
notebook like that?" Killing is scary, but the power of the notebook seems to suck you into it, and it's probably best (if this book really existed) to not even pick it up in the first place.
Characters - 9 - The characters are way too amazing. They don't have this really stupidly overdramatic past, and it's not like they don't have hard lives either... But the anime doesn't focus on all the hard parts of their lives. It moves along more with plot and a lot of character development, which is nice.
Light is an interesting character. (Understatement of the decade, but oh well.) He develops quite a lot, and does it somewhat subtly, but in the end has changed dramatically. He goes from being a rational genius college student, to a literal madman drunk with the very power of the Death Note. Sometimes you feel a bit sorry for him... I don't know why.
L's battle of wits with Light is more than epic, but he's more than that. He may be a genius as well but he has a fun, cute personality that only occasionally he will reveal. He has the silliest quirks that make him even more fun, even though sometimes he might seem just a little... Cold.
The only reason the character gets a 9 is because when Near comes in? Ugh. He's like a block of hard, cold granite with nothing on the inside but more granite. He acts like he's playing nothing but a simple game of chess, and all the living, breathing humans around him are just pawns on his way to victory. He just... Annoys me.
Soundtrack - 9 - It's too good to be true. Every beat goes with every movement in the anime, and it makes otherwise boring scenes into the most entertaining ones. Penmanship has never been so epic... Heehee. I love the first opening theme. It goes well with the first "arc" of the series. Although, the second opening may go well with Light's now-twisted mind, I still can't bring myself to like it. It's too... Ugh.
Art - 10 - The movements are usually smooth and fluid and I like the realistic touch Death Note brings. The art itself is very amazing. The dark colors and atmosphere fit quite well with the plot, and it makes this anime even more of an enjoyable ride.
Overall - 10 - This anime was just too epic. I watched it five whole times since I loved it so much, and learned something new each time. I eventually got sick of it, but after a couple months I'm considering a sixth time watching.
The second "arc" of the anime slows down quite a bit, but is still very entertaining... And those final two episodes? Ohhhhh, W-O-W. They make up for any lack of anything the second arc ever had. This anime was just great, and no matter your taste in anime, you should give this a try at some point... Even if you end up not liking it, it's still worth a watch.

Oh, where to start..?
Well, I give credit for at least trying to make a good anime; however, this was far from it. I don't mean to offend any lovers of Ranma 1/2, but the story was very poor. The plot, however, was imaginative, and it was enjoyable for a little while. The episodes kept drawing me back again and again, even though sometimes I'd yell out to myself "That was the worst episode EVER!"
The creator tried too hard to make Ranma 1/2 funny, so it fails dramatically later in the series. The events begin to be extremely predictable, and although sometimes the humor made me
...
laugh my heart out, most of it was simply annoying.
With my taste in anime (I like to see adventure, occasional humor, and a LOT of character development), I found this show to be somewhat... Annoying. All right, maybe very annoying. Some of the episodes are like a pornographic version of Looney Tunes (what with all the slapstick humor), and it really got on my nerves. Not to mention that the characters NEVER develop. This makes for fun characters at the beginning, but the quality of events and story begin to fail later on.
However, I still finished the series, and found some episodes very fun and hilarious; but when I finally reached that last episode, I breathed a sigh of relief and moved on to different anime.
I have to give the plot some credit. It's fairly original and even cute sometimes, and pretty inventive (I mean, Ranma turns into a girl when splashed with cold water, and this makes for some very humorous moments).
The music is fun and catchy. Not cool or exciting, just catchy, and sometimes a bit... Weird. But it's fun nonetheless.
The art fits the plot very well. It's fairly cute and an original way to illustrate, and I somewhat like it.
Depending on your taste in humor, characters and their development, you may want to give this anime a try.
