Let's speak about Log Horizon: an anime that tells about, for the most part, the adventures of the characters trapped in a virtual world; definitely very pleasant for those who appreciate the genre, but with some underlying defects that can not be ignored ... But let's start, analyzing, specifically, every aspect.
STORY 5/10: Unfortunately the story is not the strong point of this anime. In fact, in my opinion, it is a bit abstract and lacking in depth, because this does not seem to have a definite starting point and evolves with a certain repetitiveness and carelessness. It's, essentially, a story based on how the characters
...
manage to build a society, to deal with the uncomfortable situation of being trapped in the game; but, indeed, it doesn't give space to something fundamental, or rather to some normal questions that any sane person, in that situation, would pose: '' How can we get back to the real world? Is there a way to do so or not? ''.
Perhaps because, knowing that they probably will not be able to get back to normalcy, they make their best efforts, almost exclusively to make their lives in the virtual word work; But this thing is not specified in the anime and it may just be a mere reflection of mine, and therefore can not be attributed as a strong point of the story.
ART 8/10: As for the drawings in general, they are very well made and cared for. The environments are very colorful and bright, almost enticing the viewer to dive in; the graphics of the characters are really well done and linear, and even the animations are well cured and sliding.
SOUND 7/10: Very interesting regarding the sound level: the openings and endings are beautiful; pleasant are also the various OSTs present in the anime, and finally they also made a not bad dubbing.
CHARACTERS: 7/10: In this anime there is a wide range of characters who are more or less useful, but with the almost total lacking of villains, that kind of annoyed me. Let's start from the main protagonist Shiroe, also known by several nicknames because of his personality, he is definitely the cornerstone of the anime, in fact, thanks to his skills as careful strategist, he will manage to put aside the rivalry between the various guilds and create a good basic society. To help him in this endeavor there will be Akatsuki, a ninja that will strongly bind to him, and Naotsugu, his longtime friend. Then there will also be many other secondary characters, such as Nyanta, a catman who will have some merits in the culinary field, Marielle, head of one of the guilds, Henrietta, her second (my favorite), and many others that will contribute to make the watching of the anime sliding and enjoyable.
ENJOYMENT 7/10: I didn't mind this anime, because there have been many moments of hilarity and madness, which made me laugh a lot; for example the way how Shiroe used to get annoyed because of his nicknames, or when Akatsuki was teased by Henrietta etc etc ...
In conclusion, in my opinion, it is a partially successful anime, apart for the story which is vacuous and baseless. I strongly hope that these flaws will be resolved in the second season, because I think that this anime has a lot of potential and it would be a shame to make it vain because of a dull story.
If I were to recommend someone to see whether or not this anime, I would say so, because it is very fun and enjoyable, and it is perhaps this what makes me close one eye on the defect of the story.

[Sorry for my bad English, i'm not english... I used Google Translate for this review, really sorry...]
Assuming that I'm Italian and therefore did not know the Baseball, I must say that it is a good Anime, because it made me understand, clearly and simply, the world of this sport, through the story of a boy who after many vicissitudes, due to its difficult past, finally manage to integrate with the team.
Story 8/10: It 's very clear and well done, makes you live, in person, the effort and the joy of each new deal Inning, each time with a plus experience gained during training, not forgetting
...
however, the story, almost in its own right, the main protagonist. Perhaps the only flaw is making just these endless games, in my opinion, it would be better to do more and shorter.
Art 8/10: The arts are very beautiful and well cared for and also the animation is done well.
Sound 5/10: As for the sound, I do not particularly like; For example, the song of encouragement, that during the games, fans opponents repeated by way of chanting continuously and irritated me a lot; Moreover also the opening and the ending were not exactly a masterpiece ...
7/10 Characters: The characters in this anime are well characterized, for example, Mihashi, the protagonist, is a very closed and shy boy that will have a positive evolution during the course of the anime; then Takaya, a figure that reflects, in itself, the values of loyalty and friendship, which will be very helpful to tide Mihashi to his difficulties in relating to others, and help him regain confidence in himself; and finally the coach of the team, that will not stop until the end of encouraging her boys, urging them to always give the best of themselves. However, many other characters, who could have had a more marked, are ends in themselves, which to me is a little disappointed ....
Enjoyment 7/10: As Anime it was not bad, also because, as I said at the beginning, not knowing the Baseball, was very enlightening for me; certainly it was not even funny because of the slowness of certain games, but for people like me who did not know the sport, I recommend it highly. Moreover, the presence of several jokes, and moments of euphoria, help to make the Anime sliding and pleasant enough.
Ultimately, an anime well done, nice to look at and very instructive, being rich in positive values; I recommend it to all those who prefer to see an anime that talks about a sport so clear and as close to reality as possible, without the exaggerations of typical shounen ...

[Sorry for my bad English, I'm not english... I used Google Translate for this rewiew... Really sorry...]
"Bleach" is one of those Anime who needs no introduction. Anyone even remotely meant Anime certainly knows him, being the only one able to rival the more famous "Naruto" and "One Piece". Despite the paper version is still in progress, the anime "Bleach" has ended, and in my opinion could do it already episode 310. I hate to give only 9 to "Bleach", it 'was my favorite anime for some time and I would have gladly given a 10, were it not for the final saga about Fullbring, that
...
I did not like very much.
Let's order: "Bleach" is a shounen that stands out from the others, as has been widely criticized for having little dialogue. This would be a disadvantage? I think it is the strong point of "Bleach". In a shounen, focused on the fighting, it is these that must occupy much space as possible. It 'just that he wants the viewer, not absurd, and sometimes irritating, monologues and / or flashbacks that do not give anything to anyone, that can be found in large amounts in the aforementioned "Naruto" and' 'One Piece' '. I'm just fighting the strong point of "Bleach": OST sublime, epic duels, characters, one more badass of the other, and a simple plot and linear, since actually only serves to give a logical clashes between Hollow, evolved or no, and Shinigami.
So fighting exceptional and charismatic characters as I did not see the legendary "Dragonball Z", just think of the epic Freezer. Yes, certainly, "Bleach" could take, from signed, a 10, in my private list I gave it, but here, having to review, I could not do it, for the reason I mentioned above; in fact, it is logical to think, an Anime, in the long run, in most cases, it ends up ruined, and unfortunately this is well evident in "Bleach".
WARNING SPOILERS: The author has evidently finished ideas, and in order not to end the manga, with all the rounds of money that goes with it, he decided to continue it, although the story is, in my opinion, but also according to many others, ended after the episode 310, or volume 48, whichever you prefer. The defeat of Aizen, powerful to request a deus ex machina, as the unlikely transformation of Ichigo in a shinobi with long hair blacks, it was a perfect ending of the entire work. It seems obvious to me. The final boss is defeated, and with him all his subordinates. There are more enemies to defeat, and Ichigo lost his powers, returning the human that was the beginning. A worthy ending, leaving no room to continue, just as it should be. But no. Tite Kubo, decided to deface this series literally, inventing a saga, the fact of Fullbring, only to be able to give back the powers to Ichigo, and continue so the entire manga. This has been the bane of "Bleach", which has become another "Naruto."
That said, I would still recommend "Bleach" to anyone looking for souls crammed clashes, and characters as charismatic as strong, one shounen badass, in short.

I've seen all the episodes broadcast so far, what I can say is that it confirms the expectations I had of this anime, which is one of the best ever made.
Past the filler, the series opens in new facets in an incredible way, and the story begins to take hold, smooth as glass with great skill, as it happens in the manga. The only criticism that I can relate to the graphics, which compared to the first series has dropped in quality, not much is clear, however, an improvement was due at least as quality goes the others Anime. The sound, I would say that
...
there are not equal, along with Bleach, I think they are the best soundtracks ever made for an anime, there are no words to describe the great and splendid quality of the music that accompany the anime.
There is everything in Naruto, comedy, drama, spectacular fights, psychology ... I repeat, nothing is missing. For this reason I think it is superior to all other anime of its kind, even when compared to giants like Dragon Ball.
The last comment: Although perfection does not exist, I put 10 because I saw that the negative votes were the result of the insertion of filler which in effect have created much discussion, I shared it too, but it seems too fall into exasperation, because they are interesting and related to story.
STORY: The story starts from the drain Sasuke. The protagonist in the meantime has to train to be able to bring home his friend and defend himself against Akatsuki, an organization that wants to capture all the devils with tails, also it is precisely in this series that you discover many secrets, like the story of Uchiha’s clan or Naruto’s parents.
CHARACTERS: here are introduced to new characters very well characterized, especially the Akatsuki’s members.
FIGHTS: here fights are a bit longer and made much better than the first series, in some cases are even epic.

I finished viewing a few days ago the first series of Inazuma Eleven. I have to admit that the result is not bad, although it is the umpteenth cores taken from a popular topic such as football. This time, however, we are not faced with mileage fields "hill" Holly e Benji or games that last bet on betting. Must be pointed out that the setting and the way in which the small players Raimon and the other teams are moving quite reminiscent of those of the movie Shaolin Soccer, with shots that become necessary secrets and balls of fire, ice, penguins with appear from the
...
ground to accompany the dynamics of the shot. The power ups then frame the various episodes in which the boys will perform new techniques with the result of workouts to the limits of the human. They will sacrifice and the will to never give up to lead the team to victory
The story is well woven, starring a guy who dreams of winning the Football Frontier together with his team, Raimon fact. The difficulty, as expected, will soon fail, but thanks to the team spirit and the desire to always fight, Mark, the main character is going to make the situation more desperate.
Football is here seen as a fun vehicle to make new friends and make connections. In fact, during the fighting the bad guys on duty will receive a severe lesson learning the true meaning of the word football.
