Good, but underwhelming.
My Oni Girl isn't anything special, nor is it bad. The story follows a boy and an Oni traveling to find her mother, who end up crossing into the Oni world. The story tries to jam in multiple plot lines that feel pointless to the main story. It feels as if even the movie cannot decide whether to be a runaway or fantasy film, which picks up rushed pacing issues for the first half and an almost dragging feeling for the next half. This story would have benefited as a TV series rather than a movie. While I cannot comment on the performance

An underrated gem.
A bunch of school kids get dragged into a seemingly endless void filled with mystique and phenomenon, with each episode more confusing than the last. The school of kids quickly divide into factions with our beloved main characters facing off with their despicable peers. The first episode perfectly captures the tone of the entire series and reels you into this supernatural world. The series ends with a bittersweet sense that thematically fits. Funimation Entertainment's dub contains some of the best performances from this studio. Madhouse beautifully animated each frame and brought a simplistic and detailed style that pleases the eyes. Within the first ...

What a breathtaking experience.
This movie follows a group of kids transported on an abandoned apartment complex floating through an endless sea with all of them learning to work and cooperate with one another to survive and escape. The dynamic between Kosuke and Natsume can be frustrating to watch yet engages the audience. Noppo's kindness and supernatural aura makes him the best out of these kids, making his farewell hit like a punch to the stomach. Studiopolis's English dub is not particularly special, a bit weird to hear adults trying to sound like children. The ending can feel a little rushed, but bearable. The animation is ...

A unique plot with a girl trying to connect with her crush by transforming into a kitten. The beginning of the movie feels generic yet engaging, with the finale being satisfying enough. SDI Media's English dub is well performed and compliments the movie. The animation is the biggest selling point, with fluid motion, amazing lighting, and breathtaking visuals. The music used compliments and suites the tone. However, the pacing can feel sluggish and dragging especially with its 1hr and 44min runtime. Overall, the execution of this movie is well done and is a fun movie to relax to, deserving its score of 7.08/10.

I would like to start off by apologizing for my first harsh review of a 5.99/10 for this series, after a second viewing, this show is definitely a lot better than I remember. The story is very unique by combining zombies and cute anime girls who have to save the Saga Prefecture by becoming local idols. Despite my hesitance with music anime (which is probably why I gave a harsh review originally), this has become my all time favorite in this genre. The beginning of the series was hilarious with Sakura meeting her end as the show starts. The end of this season was good,

Robots piloted by depressed and mentally unstable teens working for an organization aimed to evolve mankind and help revive an emotionally abusive dad's lover? Sounds... Interesting...
The story of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" is very complex and ambiguous, sometimes hard to follow, yet amazing to witness. The protagonist, Shinji Ikari, is an unconventional one at that; he's a timid and socially awkward coward who's given the responsibility of piloting the giant robot "EVA Unit 1." This unique twist on the usual heroic protagonist in the Mecha-Anime genre was amazing to witness. ADV Studio's unintentionally dynamic English voice over was amazing to listen to throughout the series. The first ...

I had an overall good time watching. The story didn't feel any special compared to other romance and raunchy anime, but the unique characters helped to keep this show interesting enough to continue. However, with how much sexual content this anime revolves around HIGHSCHOOL characters, this would be one of the last shows I'd recommend to anyone who isn't acquainted to this perverted and raunchy side of anime. What really stole the spotlight was Funimation's English voice over. Hilarious dialogue with great deliveries from the actors made this C tier anime fun to watch. The animation appears alright, at times looking cheap.

My final review for this series would be a 9.24/10. THE STORY: A lot of amazing episodes were produced during its run, great plots, unique characters, and fantastic themes explored. THE ACTING: The dub was ahead of its time, the main cast was perfect with amazing supporting characters. THE BEGINNING: Although admittedly, a bit of a slow start, however the first few episodes did a great job at reeling me into this unique setting. THE END: I dreaded the final few episodes for fear that I would never see these characters or this world ever again, yet the ending was a great send off to
