Hiro Mashima is one busy guy. He has Fairy Tail, Fairy Tail Zero, Fairy Tail Ice Trail (overseeing), and he has been working on this one shot on the side, props man.

It starts out with a nice color page with a character that resembles Erza, but with a little bit of Wendy mixed in. She appears to be traveling with her "master" to find some demon swords and meet a guy needing help on the road. I'm going to assume this guy ends up traveling with them but he may have just been the center of this chapter and not necessarily a main character.

Much ... like Mashima's other work, magic seems to play a role, but not as much. It seems more classical Shounen than Fairy Tail as the main character fights with swords, with a little bit of magical help near the end.

It may have only been one chapter but it was enough to capture my attention. The other mangaka's one shots such as Naruto, OP, and Bleach's, were really not interesting. Hence why they probably never got serialized. I hope this isn't the case with Starbiter Satsuki as it has potential.

One word fits this series perfectly; Endearing.

To start with, I was very hesitant towards watching this anime. "Another high school romance" is what went through my mind. There is nothing particularly original about Kimi Ni Todoke but I couldn't help it; I had to keep watching.

The main character is shy, an outcast, and overall just a lonely soul. We can all agree that we have been in that position many times, which is what made me like Sawako instantly. Kazehaya is the one who starts motivating her along with Yano and Chizuru. Throughout the whole series you can't help but want to cheer for ... her as she slowly breaks out from her shell.

Overall, this anime is worth a watch. The intro and outro songs fit the anime perfectly and sets the mood. I'm a guy and I loved it, so hopefully others will too.

I went in watching Clannad with high expectations. Most if not all who have watched have praised it. I was satisfied with it, and continued to watch Clannad: After Story.

Continuing the story, After Story starts to slowly deviate from the other characters in the story, and starts focusing only on Tomoya and Nagisa, the main characters. From this point is where I as a person in the real world, start to identify with the story. Simple yet confusing and heart braking moments start to happen. More than likely you will ask yourself "Why does the world likes to screw people over like that."

I ... have nothing severely negative to say about After Story. Though If you are a guy like me, you'll kinda want to roll your eyes at the corny moments, and childish romance. Regardless, After Story will touch your heart. The art is superb, the music is repetitive but enjoyable, and obviously the story is heartwarming and sad.

I suggest that if you have not watched Clannad, to watch it. Both series are enjoyable and unforgettable experiences.

Let me give you a fair warning when watching this anime, it is a complete mind juggler. There is an abundance of homosexual insinuation and incest. You may think you have the plot down by watching the first 2-3 episodes, but trust me when I say there is way more to the story.

Lets begin with the characters. Each character has their own time to shine. Some characters have their story retold throughout the show with some minor details added in every once in a while. There is a strong sense of hardship with each characters story. Place close attention to each character for it ... is very important to somewhat understand the rest of the show. The main character Utena is very easy to read, its Anthy that makes you wonder the most throughout the series.

As you may have read from other reviews, there is much symbolism in this anime. Some symbolism is just random, others kind of makes sense, and others are obvious for the trained eye.

I very much enjoyed this anime, it is very original and epic in its own way. That does not mean it does not have its flaws. You will most probably tend to skip the beginning of the fights, and the annoying drama actors behind the rose wall. Many scenes are repetitive and are replayed throughout the entire series.

Other than that, i really think more people should watch this anime and share their thoughts. It really is a good watch once you get the rhythm of it.

I have mix feelings about this anime. I watched the whole series but can't say I love it nor hate it. The show itself is very endearing and the art and use of colors was astounding. But where it becomes mediocre is the storyline.

The first episode makes you think that the rest of the anime will be interesting, but truth be told that it really is not. The whole story is pointless, its your typical love triangle but with an incest twist.

Its best to watch it for yourself, you might like it more than i did, or maybe not.

What a blast this anime was. Some may criticize it for its obviously readable plot, but regardless of that it is a great show that will leave you with a smile.

Story wise, its nothing special. Its how it was portrayed that makes it very entertaining. There is rarely a dull moment in it and is constantly making sure you are up to date with what has happened so far, which does get a bit annoying if you marathon through the show.

In conclusion, this anime deserves a watch. If you like romantic comedies then this show is for you.

This anime deals with all sorts of themes that are mainly psychological so be prepared.

At first, I contemplated dropping this anime due to "me" not understanding jack squat for the first 3-4 eps. After an internal fight I decided to continue, and its a good thing I did!

First of, this is not you typical anime. It starts out with what seems to be an understandable plot but readily shifts into all sorts of head scratching fun around the third episode. Its around here that you may want to drop it which is understandable, but please don't. The main plot starts to make its appearance ... around the middle of the series and takes you for a spin. Of course, even then you will not completely understand what is going on, which is done on purpose by its creator.

Overall, I am glad I watched this. It is different but in a good way.

I am kind of surprised other recurring Bleach characters were not shown in this film. Regardless, i enjoyed this movie. Though its a filler movie, its got some interesting bits of information on certain Bleach characters. This movie was also the most destructive as the soul society gets destroyed.

The movies plot was not the most original but tolerable. Art wise it remains the same as the other Bleach movie though new angles can be noticed if you pay attention to detail. The soundtrack is possibly the best compared to the other Bleach movies, of course thats my own personal opinion/taste. If you are a ... Bleach fan then this movie is a nice side story and well worth your time.

Its worth a watch.

Bleach is a like a roller coaster ride. It has its dull moments but also has its exciting moments. If you are an avid reader, you will know what i am talking about, If this is your first time reading Bleach then i hope you give it a chance and see what this wonderful manga is about.

Sure it has the typical Shounen components, but it is more original than you would think. Bleach has many mysteries that have yet to be revealed, keeping you always wondering and wanting more. Give it a try if you have not already and see for yourself since everyone ... has different perspectives and tastes.
