My comment:To be honest, I was very loyal this time. If I were serious, I would rewrite all these 3 reviews. Nevertheless, you still have time to become better. You should READ, READ and again READ. Be it newspapers, game reviews; you should just find GOOD ENGLISH and read it non-stop.

Bakemonogatari is a romance, mystery, vampire, supernatural anime based on the novel Monogatari Series: First Season, which was created by Isin Nisio and Vofan. Shaft produced the anime, the anime has 15 episodes, and it aired from July 3, 2009 to June 25 2010.

Storyline (10/10)
The story follows Koyomi Araragi, a High school student, who has returned to being a human after being turned into a vampire. He now finds himself back into the world of the supernatural after meeting Hitagi Senjoughara, who has a condition that has left her weightless. Over the course of the show he helps out four more girls. Mayoi Hachikuji, a young girl who can’t get to her mom’s house and keeps getting lost. Suruga Kanbaru, an old friend of Hitagi who starts stalking Koyomi for a personal reason. Nadeko Sengoku, a friend of Koyomi’s sister who is suffering because of a curse. Tsubasa Hanekawa, she can’t remember being possessed by a cat during golden week because of the stress, she starts to become stress for a new reason.(I don’t understand that part). The story has been well made as each case is interesting and has twists and turns that will take the viewer interested in the show.

Art (10/10)
Bakemonogatari uses an animation style that is created from quick sketches to beautifully drawn artwork and a blend of dark and light colors to create a unique and creative animation for the viewer. The scenery in the show has been beautifully created and each scenery is easily recognizable to the viewer. The Monogatari Series is well known for using camera angles a lot to symbolize parts of a scene; Bakemonogatari uses these to great effect to really make scenes symbolic and memorable to the viewer.(Me don’t understands. Each character has been given a unique look to make it easy to tell the characters apart.

Sound (10/10)
Bakemonogatari’s soundtrack is amazing and its use in the show is well-done. Each background song fits great with that is on screen at the time. Each case has a different opening song, Staple Stable by Chiwa Satio, Kearimichi by Emiri Katou, Ambivalent World by Miyuki Sawashiro, Ren’ai Circulation by Kana Hanazawa and Sugar Sweet Nightmare by Yui Horie. Each opening has lyrics to fit its case and helps the viewer to understand the feelings of each person the cases involved. The voice for each character sounds great and interesting as each voice displays powerful emotions in them.

Characters (10/10)
Bakemonogatari follows Koyomi Araragi and 5 girls as the main characters.

Koyomi Araragi was voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya. He is a third year high school student that was attacked by a vampire during the spring break and was turned into a vampire. He was able to turn back to being a human; however, he still has some of his abilities from the past. He meets Hitagi when she just falls into his arms and finds out she weights nothing. He goes out of his way to help her cure her weight problem.

Hitagi Senjoughara was voiced by Chiwa Saitou. She is in the same class as Koyomi and has a disease that is seen to be incurable. The so called disease leaves her weightless and she hides it from everyone. By accident, Koyomi finds out it and offers to help, which starts a life changing experience for her.

Mayoi Hachikuji was voiced by Emiri Katō. She is a young girl who Koyomi runs into at the park on the mother’s day on her way to her mom’s house. Koyomi offers to help her but finds out the reason why she is lost in the first place and haven’t been able to find her mom.

Suruga Kanbaru was voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro. She is an underclassman of Koyomi and old friend of Hitagi. She is the Star player of the basketball team. Her left arm is always wrapped up, to hide a secret which Koyomi finds out after she stalks him.

Nadeko Sengoku was voiced by Kana Hanazawa. She is a friend of Koyomi’s sister and hasn’t seen her for years. She meets again when he and Kanbaru go to a shrine, later Koyomi finds out she been cursed and offers to help her.

Tsubasa Hanekawa was voiced by Yui Horie. She the class representative of Koyomi’s class and helps him out when he was turned into a vampire. She doesn’t remember golden week, where she was possessed by a cat because of her stress of her family. Now something else is causing her a lot of stress and only Koyomi can help her.

Enjoyment (10/10)
Bakemonogatari is anime that has a very interesting story. Its art style amazes the viewer with its unique art style, animation, and display. Its soundtrack displays an array of emotions in its music as each op is great to listen to. The characters are really interesting as they each have unique personalities and connection to each other. Bakemonogatari’s message it gives the viewer is “The only one who can save you, is yourself”.

Overall (10/10)
Bakemonogatari is a great anime, its story is one of the most interesting ones out there. It’s easy for people to pick up and watch as it explains things very well. So if you are looking for a great story that has its fair share of twist and turns, then I recommend Bakemonogatari is a wonderful anime to watch.

………………………….
Recommend to have watch or read a review of Bakemonogatari as there is references and this is a continuation of the series.

Nisemonogatari is a mystery, comedy, supernatural anime based on the novel; Monogatari Series: First Season, which was created by Isin Nisio and Vofan. Shaft produced the anime. The anime has 11 episodes and aired on January 8, 2012 to March 18, 2012

Storyline (9/10)
Nisemonogatari focuss on the two cases involving Koyomi Araragi’s two younger sisters, Karen and Tsukihi. In Karen’s case, she is investigating the person behind the charms that has been given to students in middle school and the one used to curse Nadeko. She finds them but ends up getting cursed herself. Koyomi finds out what happen to her and sets out to save his sister from the curse. In Tsukihi’s case, she becomes a targeted by a group because of a secret about her. Koyomi faces the group to find a secret that will changes what he knows about Tsukihi. Nisemonogatari carries on the Monogatari series feel with its twist and turns to surprise the viewer time and again.

Art (10/10)
Nisemonogatari uses the same animation style as Bakemonogatari, its blend of dark and light colors, and use of quick sketches to amazing artwork to create one of unique and creative animation. Nisemonogatari carries on the Monogatari series use of camera angles but focus a bit on the fanservice side of scenes this time around. While it is still used for symbolic reasons, it just doesn’t give the same impact it did in Bakemonogatari.

Sound (10/10)
Nisemonogatari’s soundtrack is great and delivers the same feelings from Bakemonogatari’s soundtrack. The show uses three opening songs, Futakotome by Chiwa Satio (Ep 1,3), Marshmallow Justice by Eri Kitamura (Ep 2, 4-7) and Hakkin Disco by Yuka Igychi (Ep 8-11). The ending song, Naisho No Hanashi is done by ClariS. The Voices of characters in the Bakemonogatari return with new ones. They still deliver the same great and interesting voices to show powerful emotions to the viewer.

Characters (10/10)
Nisemonogatari focuses on Koyomi and his two sisters Karen and Tsukini.

Koyomi Araragi, voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya. After the events of Bakemonogatari, Shinobu, the vampire that bit him now lives in his shadow, is spending his summer holidays studying. The reason behind this is to enter college with his girlfriend, Hitagi Senjoughara.

Karen Araragi, voiced by Eri Kitamura. She is the oldest of the Koyomi’s sisters and with Tsukihi make up the Fire Sisters. She loves outdoor activities and thinks of herself that she is a hero of Justice. This with her being hot-headed ends up getting curse.

Tsukini Araragi, voiced by Yuka Iguchi. She is the youngest of the Koyomi’ sisters. Unlike Karen, she likes indoor activities and to Koyomi, she is scarier than Karen because of her being short-tempered. She uses Karen vision of justice, so she can run wild.

Enjoyment (9/10)
Nisemonogatari is enjoyable for fans of Bakemonogatari, with its story that has its up and downs. The art style still is impressive to watch and the returning characters are still interesting to watch with new ones not failing to get the viewers’ attention. The sounds are great to listen to and overall it is an enjoyable show. But it has one weakness in comparison to Bakemonogatari, its focus on fanservice is a bit overused. While I don’t mind fanservice, it has a feeling of being forced on the viewer in some scenes that Bakemonogatari never did. The message you can take from Nisemonogatari is, no matter how different people in your family are from you, they still your family that you love and take care of, be it younger sisters or older brothers.

Overall (9/10)
Nisemonogatari is an anime that tries to live up to its standards set by Bakemonogatari and while it does a very good job, it just falls short. While it still great show, just don’t expect to get the same feeling Bakemonogatari gave. But even with that, Nisemonogatari is still a great part of the Monogatari series, so I recommend anyone who like the series, to watch Nisemonogatari.
………………………

Enjoyment (10/10)
Monogatari Series: Second season makes fans of the series happy by learning from the mistake Nisemonogatari made and created a story to lives up to Bakemonogatari. The art style still impress with its creative and unique looks. The music is nice to listen to with its lyrics for each song used to represent a character and their feelings. The characters have been more flesh out and we learn some secrets about the cast. The Message that Monogatari Series: Second Season give to the viewer is that we shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help but we should try to fix our own problems ourselves first.

Overall (10/10)
Monogatari Series: Second Season delivers the same feeling Bakemonogatari gave viewers. It expands on the story in interesting way that will that you by surprise. It make the viewer fall in love with the series all over again, so if you a fan of the series and what to see how the story continues, then Monogatari Series: Second Season is an anime to watch.

[u]You should read ONLY good English. The result is something that you will see not in a trice; however, when you reach it, you will be really proud of yourself. Never say die! [/u]

Side note: Never say should of done smth. A reviewer is only allowed to say should have done smth.

(It is recommended to do something) (Be forewarned: the following review may contain spoilers. Therefore, don’t read it if you haven’t done something yet) Recommend to have watch or read a review of Bakemonogatari, Nisemonogatari and Monogatari Series: Second Season as there is references and this is a continuation of the series.

Tsukimonogatari is a mystery, comedy, supernatural anime based on the novel; Monogatari Series: Final Season, which was created by Isin Nisio and Vofan. Shaft produced the anime. The anime has 4 episodes, and aired on December 31, 2014

Storyline (9/10)

Tsukimonogatari story follows Koyomi, who is getting ready to take his college entrance exam when he discovers that something weird is happening to his body. The story focuses on somethingThe story has a lot of high points like explaining the backstory of Yotsugi Ononoki and on the subjects like growing up, it not to say the story has it low points. The main low point of the story is the fanservice. To my big regret, Tsukimonogatari made the same mistake as Nisemonogatari: (it did something) where the first episode is pretty much a fanservice episode. But apart from that, Tsukimonogatari is very interesting show and it is able to please its viewer. delivers a story that fans of the series can enjoy.

Art (10/10)
Tsukimonogatari’s art style is the still the same. A blend of dark and light colors, with the use of mix of quick sketches and beautiful artwork to creates its creativeness and uniqueness. art style. Monogatari is known for its use of camera angles to some of the most symbolic and memorable scenes in anime and in Tsukimonogatari this haven’t changed.

Sound (9/10)
Tsukimonogatari has a good soundtrack, while it not as great as the rest of the series it still good to listen to. The opening song “Orange Mint” by Saori Hayami and the ending song “Border” by ClariS still follow the Monogatari series’ style of using lyrics that are connected to the show. The voice of each character is still great as they deliver the powerful feelings of emotions in their voices to the viewer.

Characters (10/10)
Tsukimonogatari follows Koyomi Araragi and Yotsugi Ononoki.

Koyomi Araragi is voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya. After the events of Monogatari Series: Second Season he is studying to ( join / enter) get into college, but he finds out that something weird is happening to his body.

Yotsugi Ononoki is voiced by Saori Hayami. She a living doll and a lot of her past is a mystery. She first appeared in Nisemonogatari. She is a doll specialized in dealing with immortal creatures. (Her specialization is… specialization in smth…)

Enjoyment (9/10)
Tsukimonogatari felt like it was going in all the right places like Monogatari Series: Second Season but it made the same mistake that Nisemonogatari did. While the story in the episodes after the first one is great, the first episode is its weak point. It felt like we was getting over the top of fanservice that felt that it should of only lasted 5 minutes not nearly 20 minutes. Nevertheless, the rest of the show is great and Sense. in the departments of art, sound and characters still wonderful like the rest of the series. Tsukimonogatari does leave the viewer with two great messages, the first is what you class as life and what you class as non-living. The second message is what it means to grow up and be mature.

Overall (9/10)
Tsukimonogatari, while it is not the greatest, it is still worth watching. Its storytelling is up to bar with the rest of the series and its art style and characters give the viewer the feelings. Apart from the first episode, Tsukimonogatari is a wonderful start to the last part of the Monogatari story and it is worth watching.
*****
Recommend to have watch or read a review of Bakemonogatari, Nisemonogatari and Monogatari Series: Second Season as there is references and this is a continuation of the series.

Hanamonogatari is a mystery, comedy, supernatural anime based on the novel; Monogatari Series: Second Season, which was created by Isin Nisio and Vofan. Shaft produced the anime. The anime has 5 episodes, and aired on August 16, 2014

Storyline (8/10)
Hanamonogatari follows Kanbaru Suruga as she starts her third year at high school after Koyomi graduation. She hears a rumor about someone called “Lord Devil” who solves other people’s problems but she will find out that this person is after her for what she has on her left arm to make matters worse this person is from her past. The story has a lot of twists and turns that will keep the viewer surprised. It does, however, have two weak points: its pacing and the cast. For the first two episodes their pacing is great and what would expect from the Monogatari Series but halfway through the third episode, the pacing slows down to a point of being very bland. The other weak point is that unlike the other Monogataris, Hanamonogatari is led by two main characters, one is Kanbaru and “Lord Devil” is a character created for Hanamonogatari, how heavily leads most of the conversations. While their story is important, it not very interesting and just hurts the show.

Art (10/10)
Hanamonogatari’s art style is the style that every entry in the series uses. It’s created by using a blend of light and dark colors with a mix of quick sketches and beautiful artwork. Hanamonogatari also uses camera angles to create scenes that are memorable and symbolic to the viewer.

Sound (8/10)
The soundtrack is mostly fine with one outstanding song, “The last day of my adolescence” by Miyuki Sawashiro, which is the ending song. The opening song, “Hana Ato: Shirushi” is done by Marina Kawano. These two songs’ lyrics are used to connect them to the story and to give more depth. The voice of the characters is good, but it fails to give the same impact the characters had it the rest of the entries in the series.

Characters (8/10)
Hanamonogatari has a two person cast: Kanbaru Suruga and “Lord Devil”
Suruga Kanbaru is voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro. After Koyomi helps her with the Rainy Devil on her left arm, she starts her third year at high school with the Rainy Devil arm is on her.

“Lord Devil” is voiced by Kana Asumi. The “Lord Devil” is running a counseling business that promises to help people out with their problems.

Enjoyment (8/10)
Out of the all the entries in the Monogatari series, Hanamonogatari is the weakest in terms of story, sound and characters. The story, while sounds interesting, in reality it is really boring for the second half as the pace slows too much and the “Lord Devil’s” backstory is important, is told in a very noun-interesting way. The soundtrack really only had one music piece that was good to listen to, where the rest was nothing memorable. The message Hanamonogatari gives to the viewer is: you should enjoy the little things in life as they can be easily taken away forever.

Overall (8/10)
Hanamonogatari is still a good anime, it only suffers a little by the new character. The story is still interesting to watch but don’t expect a Bakemonogatari story here. Hanamonogatari is still worth a watch if you a fan of the Monogatari series. If not, then you are not missing much.

Well with MAL's review system going through a lot of changes which still haven't been applied yet, it's currently in a rather chaotic state to say the least. The amount of people who are even voting on any reviews has shrunk drastically for the moment. Right now you should probably consider yourself lucky if you even get 10 helpfuls. That's pretty sad to be honest but not much you can do about it. I just wish that they could've gotten everything implemented *before* we had a season finale, as that's when all the new relevant reviews will start pouring in from everywhere... but alas, it just wasn't meant to be. Also I find it rather annoying that the mods are being pretty sloppy with deleting all the previews from series after they end this time around, because now you really can't compete with them before further changes are implemented. For some series they've fixed, but certainly not all of them. Just look at stuff like Shimoneta for example; despite ending over a week ago, all the 'top reviews' are ones written back in July or early August. That's just... unacceptable to me, but whatever. At least we're all affected equally by it

In any case, here's my Summer batch if anyone cares:

Okusama ga Seitokaichou
Joukamachi no Dandelion
Aoharu x Kikanjuu
Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai
Rokka no Yuusha
Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou
Gakkou Gurashi
Prison School
Shokugeki no Souma
Charlotte

I was also going to do a rant about God Eater but as it turned out that won't finish until Winter 2016 so I guess I'll have to put that on hold for a bit

It's a decent and factual review. Personally, I found that the two points raised in the art section could be condensed into a single point, but that's just my opinion. Apart from that and some minor grammatical slips, it's a pretty good review.

No problem :) Anyways I just noted a few touch ups. Just watch out for what the subject on the sentence is when determining what plurality to use. Also watch out for some parallelism errors. Apart from that, the review looks good.

Heya howdy and hello folks, im stepping in to present to you:

Duffy's view on Redline.

Redline caught my eye as a fast paced, beautiful anime movie that will knock my socks off. And, it kinda did?

First of all the animation met, and exceeded my wildest dreams and after I learned that it is composed of over 100,000 hand written images and took 7 years to produce, all i could do was praise this movie for its artistic creativity and incredible visuals. The animation alone is enough to carry this movie along and i constantly found my mouth wide open with the explosions, fast cars, and unique characters. The unique characters is definatly something i will praise this show for the most. Throught the movie, any shot of characters that are random contains so much detail and care put into the designs of the characters, it helped created the atmosphere of the setting they live in and also provided things to ponder. Overall, Hands down the most impressive animation i have ever seen.

The plot and the characters are where i hit a roadblock (hehe, get it.) There are a lot of points in the movie where i felt disconnected from whats going on because of plausibility issues. The roboplanet faction was udderly confusing with there infastructre and decision making that i ended up laughing at most parts that where suppose to be serious. JP's character fit the story but acted really weird when it came to his relationship with Sonoshee, not to mention that their romance was a complete joke. Watching the dub probably harmed a lot of character interaction traits but the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree.

The way the racers acted to each other came across as the function of Deathrace with the mentality of Mario Cart. They just kinda flaunted at each other and I didn't get any real grit between the racers, taking me out of the tension and character relationships between the drivers. Some drivers where given a very small amount of screen time despite their profile being explained earlier in the movie.

To sum up, this is one of the best racing/action Anime's i have ever seen. The aspects i found lacking are things that can easily be passed off due to the nature of this movie, which i understand. But, alas, I think there is always room for improvement.

First "review" of any kind so dont tear me apart too bad ^.^

SHITTY REVIEWS
-shamelessly presents-
Osomatsu-San(Sub)
**SPOILER FREE**
'I am not sure we'll be popular now....'-Choromatsu

I will try my best Choromatsu To make you popular by writting this review
Osomatsu-San is a show that I saw just for the sake ofmy fav voice actor not because of 1st ep bait like other people.but I never expected it become one of my favorite anime.

Story[10/10]-There is no story that is the best thing about.It has many random skits.Except for 1st ep where they try to become popular by imitating other famous anime(most parody seen in a single mother fucking episode by me).then from 2nd ep there are just randoms skit like in Nichijou. every skit almost made me Really die by laughing.the skits are mostly gag comedy but there are other types comedy too.but it will also give you feels sometimes.

Art[10/10}-While people will drop this show after 1st ep due it's art style.
I am loving it as it remind me of my childhood where I used to watch Fujiko Fujio works along with shin-chan in my native language.to be honest the art is very good.but if you want bishonen or bishoujo characters then still watch this anime as they manage to do it in 1st ep.plz keep in mind that this is a sequel of a 1966 anime(which you do NOT need to watch to watch to enjoy this) that is why the artstyle is like that.but that is important for atmosphere of the show .

Sound[10/10]-PHENOMENAL
Voice cast is as follows:
GOLDEN ARMY OF SEIYUUS
Osomatsu: Takahiro Sakurai
Karamatsu: Yuichi Nakamura
Choromatsu: Hiroshi Kamiya
Ichimatsu: Jun Fukuyama
Jushimatsu: Daisuke Ono
Todomatsu: Miyu Irino
Totoko: Aya Endō
Iyami: Kenichi Suzumura.

still not enough the music is given by Hashimoto Yukari(Toradora and Mawaru Penguindrum).

You know the thing that really makes Osomatsu-san Great is the great voice acting along with a nice noticeable soundtrack.

Characters[10/10]-as You can see the show is about sexplets with each one having a vivid personality.THEY ARE THE SHOW(the voice acting give really a unique personality to each character).
other side characters are good but still the show is all about the Matsu(s).

Enjoyment[10/10]-have not laugh that much since gintama.
(do I need to say anything else)

Overall-Recommended for--
tired of Moe,Romance,action,shounen,drama,overpowered and overrated one punch man,endless babbling of owarimonogatari.Watch this you will not regret it.

Not Recommended for--
NO ONE
everyone should at least give it a try.

and I will end this review my fav word from 7th ep osomatsu-san
TOTTY
