Sword Art Online, what seems like an awesome series based off the first episode, starts to turn really ... crappy-nicest description I can give. The first few episodes really got me excited, watching an MMORPG game that is a virtual death trap, there are soooooooo many ways how this could have turned out, there could be relations between reality and the game like maybe character structure and the economy, but no it just is like regular fantasy anime. There is literal an ounce of character development, "Oh, I like you..." a heroine states and I say "WHAT? How did that happen?"
Generally this show is
...
geared towards kids, small romance, a "badass" MC, like lots of people say, no horror, and a simple plot. After the first two episodes there was a time skip, in some animes that does not matter, but when you want to watch a fantasy anime playing on the virtual reality element, you want to watch how characters go through and progress. With 100 floors there could easily be 200-300 episodes going through the content of the game, the structure of the system, what makes this a MMORPG when the players cannot grind with limited resources, and actions scenes. If this anime had lots of episodes and development with little repetition, it could easily be one of the best ones out there, but instead the viewers are left filling in the blanks and speculating if the MC is secretly giving all these girls roses and the admin is leveling Kirito to make his stay at his high level. When I watch this and compare it to Log Horizon, I would say this is still better because the players in Log Horizon have no goal to complete, like most MMORPG, but without that goal the anime is just basically filler until some type of conflict, not man vs. man but like the MCs are trying to save the world but a guy gets in the way type of conflict, appears.
I would like to recommend this anime to those who like the graphics of anime, although this does not have the best or even top-tier artwork, and to those who like simple plot.

Gundam SEED, is my favorite Gundam anime out of the entire franchise. The reason for this was that it distinguishable compared to the other Gundam anime, but it was also similar to them. The basic plot is fairly similar to a lot of Sunrise based Gundam anime. For example, there is the whole they try to achieve peace between opposing factions, the special ability that the main character has, unique mobile suits and Gundams, and some romantic aspect. While most Sunrise anime have the same plot devices and the romance is held at arms-length, this one really struck me as better than the rest.
Now actually
...
onto why I like Gundam SEED over Gundam 00 and Gundam AGE. Gundam SEED was not a masterpiece, nor was it a flop, it was good. Gundam SEED has its faults, like a sentimental main character and awkward or filler episodes. However, Gundam SEED used those flaws and made them their strong points. Such as the emotional main character, in the anime there is a character that cries a fair amount and does not want to kill his enemies. Now usually after following this type of character follows flames and critics after the character, but Gundam SEED designers used elements such as their belief becoming their sword and winning in that way and making some really, pardon me for the urban language, "epic" battle scenes to over shadow the non-killing. As a result, the anime has bad points, but has elements to counteract it, something the others do not really have (although some will argue against that). So, um, that is why I liked it over the others.
The story was fair, typical really in Gundam series. The art was a bit poor, but considering when it was made and that they did a remastered version, it is great. The characters, were somewhat built but they lacked background; throughout the entire series some characters (like the insane one) had no information on why they were like how they were, but it did have original characters.

Hi, um new to the reviewing table, but have watched my fair amount of anime.
Mashiroiro Symphony, was a decent anime, the main character was a likable character, not to dense, but also extremely dense. Honestly, if the anime had more drama and more episodes to deepen the plot then it would be one of the best anime. The story is basically a high school teenager male that is attending a former all-girls school as a test to see if it can go fully co-ed. He is kind and that apparently wins the hearts of several girls. What was hilarious though was that the plot went
...
towards one route, then completely jumped to another with no transaction.
*Spoiler (some-what)*
He chooses a girl, like most harem anime, and then the rest have a pity party on the last episodes. There is no real drama though.
