Outbreak Company (Anime) add

Recommended

This anime is the ultimate anime lover's dream. I'm just going to start this review by saying that I have a thing for anime that has a message that I can take away from it. Right off the bat, we have Shinichi, a bro that honestly reminds me of a couple of my friends who just sit and watch anime and read manga all day. In the beginning, we see Sinichi's bad luck set in when he gets kidnapped and brought to some foreign world that has magic and loves Japanese otaku culture. Shinichi is brought in to educate this new world of his otaku ... culture and to ensure that relations between said world and Japan are good. He starts a school where they teach anime and manga that right away challenges racism and class diversity between the elves and the dwarves. His school does more for these students than teach them to be otakus - it teaches them to live beyond their differences and be friends with each other despite their origins and differences. Soon they begin to have arguments about lolis and eroge games rather than fighting because they are dwarves or elves. I thought that this was absolutely beautiful and it reminded me a great deal of Maouyuu, which is another one of my favorite shows with similar themes.

The next character that we meet is Miusel, who is my favorite character in the entire show. Miusel presents herself to Shinichi and tells him that she will be the maid taking care of him while he stays in the Eldant empire. As soon as Shinichi sees Miusel, he freaks out at the fact that she is a legitimate maid. This is the thing that I love about Shinichi: Miusel freaks out the moment that he discovers that she is a half-elf, which is something that the citizens in Eldant discriminate against her for, and instead thinks the fact that she is an elf is awesome. This is one of the things that I love Shinichi for: he doesn't discriminate against race, gender, or background because he remembers being outcast because he was an otaku. Miusel at this point I believe begins to fall in love with Shinichi, which wasn't something that the plot synopsis and the genres really talk about.

The next character you meet is Petralka, the supreme ruler of Eldant that nearly kills Shinichi when he calls her a little girl. Right off the bat, she takes a liking for Shinichi and develops a sort of tsundere personality that really compliments Miusel's personality. As the show progresses, Shinichi helps change her personality for the better with his otaku ways and even helps her become a better leader. I love the idea that a normal person with the right beliefs and intentions can help change those who have a different social class or background than them.

Alright, so for those of you who don't want something as deep or psychologically stimulating as this, this show is very lighthearted and is quite hilarious. I don't have many friends who enjoy anime with deep meaning because most of them don't think about stuff like this like I do. That is perfectly fine and I still think you will love this show if you give it a chance. I would even go as far as saying that this anime is deserving a spot on my top ten anime of the year. So stop reading this and go watch it now!

High School DxD (Anime) add

Recommended

Personally, I loved the anime and the light novels which I still need to finish. The anime has a beautiful story hidden beneath all of the cleavage and tits that a lot of people don't see because they focus on how ecchi it is. I personally prefer to watch this show censored because a) its easier to explain to people, and b) the tits sort of draw from the story.

Now, as far as that story goes, it is definitely one of my favorites. It feels to me as if it is a perverted representation of Milton's Paradise Lost which is one of the greatest ... classics ever written and one that I believe deserves the name "classic". The anime and light novels each also draw upon a great number of other myths and mythologies, which for me was a reason that I fell in love with this show. I greatly love the depictions of mythological characters in this anime and how they fit into the show. The only regretable thing that I don't really like about Highschool DxD is its incredibly powerful anti-religious message. Though I am not a die-hard Christian, this factor makes it impossible for me to recommend this anime to any of my religious friends. It is easy for me to get past and I did not let it factor into my review since I presume most people truly won't care.

The characters are incredibly funny and the show, on the surface, is really lighthearted. However, as you dive deeper, you find this deeply rooted psychological experience manifesting itself within each of the characters within the show. Each character has a tragic past that makes them broken and each of those experiences is what drives their relationships with the other characters. Each character feels unique to me and I love each and every one of them. Even the bad guys are all pretty cool even though they are douches that you quickly learn to hate

As far as the soundtrack goes, I really like this soundtrack. The opening is one of my favorites and the ending makes me laugh every time I see it. I do like the OSTs as well, though against anime such as Attack on Titan, Campione!, and Guilty Crown, it doesn't stand out that much. As such, it lost one point for me there.

In light of all that, I'd still say that it is a great anime despite what others have to say and it will always be one of my favorites. I love the art and I love the characters. The story is deep if you actually look for and pay attention to it. Personally, I feel aggravated whenever anyone says that this show is just tits because its just not the case. It is one of the best Harem genre anime that has earned its high spot on my list.
