Great Music and good animation, Would definitely re-listen to many songs from the Movie Soundtrack
Though the story flows poorly, And the obvious solution to the problem presented really breaks the whole premise, Makes it seems like the director or writer doesn't really understand how the internet works.
In simple terms a good story would present a problem and have the characters go about finding and executing a solution, The problem presented in this movie had such an obvious solution that it breaks all logic to do it the way the MC decided to, Like they even go on to make a stupid excuse why the
...
obvious solution doesn't work,
At the end the solution chosen wasn't even a solution, Like nothing happened we just have to assume that the problem has been resolved off-screen.
The characters are bland and uninspiring, Other anime use cookie-cutters to create a base to characters this makes it easy for viewers to understand or assume what kind of person the character may be, The main characters have no actual objective. One of the Support characters has a stronger set objective than the MC,
Would not really recommend the watch, unless you really had the spare time to enjoy the music, Otherwise just listen to the movie soundtrack. skip the movie

My baby sister of 2 years old enjoys the angry death metal, she say's "cat angry" and follows up with little raspy sounding roars to match the death metal.
At the end of the episode, She says "Win" as Retsuko does the victory pose.
Then she asks for more.
Will simply say she enjoy this anime so far, Will watch again with her.
MAL wants me to create a longer review but that is all i have
stop reading from here on out, this is just to fill in some space till I reach the minimum requirements, Need more filler words as this is not enough
...
yet, Myanimelist why do you have this requirement, this post is probably just gonna get deleted anyway and people won't know that my baby sister enjoys this random anime we spotted and decided to watch

Review for Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai.Movie
==============================================
The low score is because of my personal experience of the movie
If you have just completed watching the anime,I don't recommend watching this, I have watched the complete season of Ano Hana over the coarse of a couple days, and after watched this movie, This is my mistake for not reading the synopsis.
This movie is essentially retelling the important events of the season. It may be a great conclusion to the story but watching it with the season still fresh in mind means watching scenes you have already seen over again.
Honestly
...
most of this movie are scenes from the main season.
But if you enjoyed the season enough to want to sit through that then go ahead otherwise I recommend watching this a few weeks/months/year(s) or after watching a couple seasons of something else.

Review for Hyouka (Hyōka)
===============================
The first anime that has recieved a full 10 / 10 from me and in my opinion truly deserves it.
"I don't do anything, I don't have to do, What I have to do, I do quickly" The motto in which our main character lives by.
This is probably the first mystery genre anime I have watched but that's not the reason I gave it my ten.
After the countless number of School Life based animes that I have watched and those that have gone by unnoticed. Harem after harem, Then there's this Hyouka a Mystery slice of life. Though solving the
...
mystery is only the second most enjoyable thing about this show.
The most enjoyable thing about this show is the development of our main characters.
Oreki Houtaro a first year in highschool an energy saving student but not the type you might think but rather the motto written above. Don't do anything I don't have to, Do whatever I have to do quickly. A student not looking forward to the joys of a "rose" coloured highschool life and rather wants to have a plain "grey" one.
Though everything starts to change when he meets Chitanda Eru, The girl who is curious.
The girl that would ruin Oreki of his plain grey life causing him to use energy in his day to day life.
The way these characters develop during the season is so well done and is so believable they come to life to the viewers. The reason behind their actions, The way their personality changes. Honestly it's a work of art.
The art style is similar to K-ON, Chuuniyoubi and Beyond the Boundaries all of which are Kyoto Animation works. Though not from the same group of artists a easily recognisable style and quality standard.
The sound is well done, The voices fit their characters (Japanese Dub). Sound effects are up to standard as well, nothing to complain about.
The mystery, personally it was fun to pause and think about my own theories about what happened. Try to find the little hints hidden during the episode.
The character development, though I'm repeating myself at this point is so well done. The way we learn about the characters and their personality is no cliche anime personality here.
==========================================================
I hope found this review helpful.
Otherwise please feel free to send me a message as to why it wasnt.
Always looking for ways of improving the way I write my reviews.
==========================================================
Little extra thought*
Our very plain looking main character would do really well as a SMT Persona main character. Especially when he's paired up with his energetic best friend.
If we could nominate characters to be a main character. He would definitely fit the role well.

My review for Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi
=====================================
Simply a Rom-Com-Drama Slice of life anime, This season has been done as a "day-to-day" adventure, Where each episode is it's own adventure for our cast.
Story : 7/10 :
Partially romance between our main male and female protagonists, Our main protagonists works at "Otagi-Bank" basically I club in school that helps people our in return for favours (I help you, you help me), So each episode is more or less and episode about that, A little more serious than Sket Club but that's essentially what it is.
Art : 8/10 :
The animation was done well, up to
...
standard no reason to complain. ( 9 & 10 scores reserved for distinguishable animation styles that work. Basically a style that is easily recognized as a particular studios work.)
Sound : 10/10 :
The voice acting has been done well and the voices fits their personality and looks (Japanese Dub).
Sound effects have been done up to standard.
I'm not one to actually listen to the opening or closing so I won't be rating that since honestly that (to me at least), doesnt make or break an anime,
Character : 6/10 :
Though I really enjoy this anime, other than our 2 main protagonists the rest of the cast don't really develop, they are introduced we learn about their pasts and that's about it.
Though in most "day-to-day" type animes that's usually what happens, and we learn more about the characters in the long run after multiple seasons. (example: Sergeant Keroro, Hayate the Combat Butler)
Though the cast is full mix of characters that we are used to seeing, they are quite underdeveloped,
Enjoyment : 8/10 :
I personally enjoyed this anime for the most part trying my best to not get bothered by the really annoying narrator, The reason's the narrator is annoying is the interruptions and the overlapping of speech,
It's like your watching this anime with a friend who already watched it and they can't stop explaining about this and that.
From time to time they will break the fourth wall as comedic relief and in moderation that's fine, But when the narrator has to explain everything again and again as if the viewer can't add 2+2 by themselves.
Though either way I personally enjoyed the anime and if it was any less than it is, I would have probably dropped this because of the narrator.

I hope you found my review helpful

A Review for Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!
==============================
An anime about growing up, A great little slice-of-life anime.
Story : 9 / 10
Chuunibyou has in my personal opinion has the school life anime re-done in its own original way. A very meaningful and beautiful storyline. The ending was very well done and getting to the end was a great adventure.
Art : 8 / 10
Like any other animation done by "Kyoto Animation" they keep their art up to standard it's in no way an original art style. ( Personally reserve 9 - 10 scores for original art that works, that the viewer can easily recognize
...
are done by that studio.) KyoAni has their own art style but honestly it's hard to tell their work from any other standard quality anime art. or maybe it's just me.
Sound : 10 / 10
The voice's fit their respective characters and their personality (Japanese Dub). There's not much to say about sound effects as when theirs not wrong with it, it's not something you notice.
Character : 9 / 10
The character's in Chuunibyou are well done and well developed. I personally feel that they have been well executed that will allow the viewer to understand them as individuals and the reason they do what they do.
Be prepared to get hit with emotions.
Enjoyment : 9 / 10
I personally enjoyed it through and through, It does well to balance comedy and drama, and carries a great meaning.
==============================================
I hope you find my review helpful,
Otherwise please leave me a message as to why it wasn't,
Thank You.

Writing a Review for Girls und Panzer
=========================
I will be writing a paragraph by paragraph review first scroll down for the broken down version (by category).
A Slice-of-Life Action anime, more focused on the Action aspect rather than Slice-of-Life, I personally think I've enjoyed this anime way more than I should.
The story-line may not be unique but it has been well executed, There's it's ups and downs and if you go into it neutral minded you will find yourself enjoying it, The art style is up to standard, the tanks battles are in 3D while the characters in 2D, The opening scene in the first episode
...
shows this and honestly the tank view was very strange. (merge between 2D and 3D).
The facts about the tanks are quite on point though you will find yourself pausing to actually catch the facts they are telling you, It would be better to google about it after watching the episode,
This anime has recap episodes ( Episodes 5.5 and 10.5)
Episode 5.5 recapping on the events of Episodes 1 through 5 while introducing you to our main cast and supporting cast. (plus their tanks)
Episode 10.5 recapping the events of Episodes 6 through 10 while introducing you to any other character they have yet to introduce (plus their tanks)
(In my personal opinion, If I was watching this as it came out, 1 week per episode kind of deal, I would be pissed off if the episode of the week is a recap :/ especially since they end the episode mid-battle.)
The character's are a fun group with a wide range of personalities, Some being developed more than others but they're relate-able.
I've personally enjoyed the season and looking forward to more .
===========================================
Review divided into categories
Story : 8/10 : I personally enjoyed the story it has some (very little) slice-of-life elements though if your looking for cute girls in action then you will definitely enjoy it,
Art : 8/10 : No complaints about the art style, The art style meets the quality that allows the viewers to enjoy it without a problem, 2D Characters 3D Tank battles, I personally found the animation look out of place during the opening scene of episode 1, (If you read my other reviews, I rate 10/10 for *unique art styles that are well done).
Sound : 10/10 : The sound is well done both in Voice Acting (Japanese Dub) and Sound effects.
Character : 8/10 : A nice range of personalities exists between our main and supporting characters. Though characters feel a little underdeveloped. It's more about the tank battles anyway in this anime.
Enjoyment : 9/10 : I personally enjoyed this anime more than I should, actually almost cried during one of the scenes, really enjoyed the battles lots of cool strats.
*Unique Art Style - An art style that when seen by a viewer is easily recognizable between animes. (Same studio Different Anime, Viewer can tell its from the same studio)
=============================================
I hope you found my review useful
Otherwise if you didn't please leave a comment as too why
=============================================
Minor Complaint (Does not lower the watch value of this anime)
Sports in anime's, especially when it's extreme out of the norm sports.
Are always unfair, The richer team always has an advantage and honestly in a real world situation I wouldn't find it interesting to watch a sport where the richer team always wins cause they had more tanks than the others.

Writing a Review for Upotte!! OVA
========================
First thing to know about this OVA episode like most OVA's from animes with a large girl cast, Expect the fanservice.
There is minimal to no story line in this, It is basically a fun beach side episode, only difference they are camping riverside.
The art is well done like its ONA counterpart, The sounds are up to standard, The character's look a little older than they did from the main season,
If you are looking for a little fanservice after watching the main season here it is.

Writing a Review for Upotte!!
=====================
Will be writing a paragraphy by paragraph review first, scroll down lower for a broken down version (by category)
In my experience of this anime, I was really put off by the first episode, It gives you that impression that it's going to be some sort of Harem over the Japanese Teacher. Of coarse it isn't even though the synopsis on this site will lead you to think so, (The first episode made me drop the anime for two weeks). The first episode can be treated as an introduction to the characters but is not really that important, (Skipping it won't do
...
much harm)
Upotte!! is a sort of comedic-informative anime about guns, While watching expect to laugh and learn a few things about guns, Another thing about this anime is that it is ecchi (perverted). Though other than what happens in the first episode it is quite tame.
The story isn't anything to be wow-ed over and would'nt really be the main selling point of this anime, Removing the jokes and ecchi scenes from this anime would reveal how boring/plain the story is. But they did well to cover it up, Going into this anime with a neutral mindset will allow you to enjoy the anime for its very cute main characters.
The character's personality can be linked slightly to what gun they are. The art style is nothing new or unique but has been done well enough
(One complain though, These guns have horrible aim when they are under pressure.It was a bit annoying to see when they perform so well in practice)
==============================================
Review divided into categories
Story : 6/10 : Honestly the story isn't all that interesting and the story in each episode can be found in almost every "day-to-day*" adventure anime.
Art : 8/10 : No complaints about the art style, meets a standard quality that allows the viewer to enjoy without a problem. (If you read my other reviews, I rate 10/10 for unique art styles that are well done).
Sound : 9/10 : Personally as long as the sounds are there and syned with the animation's I have no complaints, The voices are well done and really fit each character (Japanese Dub) the sound effects are strange in a few scenes in my personal opinion.
Character : 7/10 : The character's are well designed in aim to please the different types of preferences people may have for anime girls, Though in personality we the viewers know very little about them. Other than their specs and attitude towards others, we know very little and that may cause a certain discontent from the viewers.
Enjoyment : 7/10 : Honestly had a good laugh while watching this anime, Though the first episode put me off from watching it for awhile. The rest of the episodes did well in giving me a laugh and some information about guns.

Going to try to write this one in paragraphs instead of the separated categories like I usually do, those who find those sort of reviews more helpful ill leave a version of that review on the bottom
===========================================
Review for Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio : Ars Nova (Arpeggio Blue Steel)
===========================================
At the beginning I personally was not used to the mix of the 3D animation and sort of 2D backgrounds and sort of thought the character's movements were very stiff. Though as watch more this will bother you less and less till the point you don't notice anything wrong with it. The Main characters have been developed
...
well, the supporting cast is really strong and may as well be mains.
An anime that at first glance may seem like it would become a harem but it doesn't and though this may seem disappointing for some it actually develops quite nicely all the characters have their reasons for their actions and they are'nt all after our protagonist.
The sound has been done well all the voice acting is great, the sound effects for all the naval battles meet 'quality standards' as to say, I'm sure you would have heard them elsewhere.
I personally enjoyed the anime and personally feel there is room for a season 2 but the season closed in a way where it is not needed, Looking forward to the movie.
=============================================
Review done in my usual category type: (for those who prefer it that way)
Story : The story played out in this anime may not be unique but it has been executed very well, Lots of ups and downs and very little down time from the action. So if your looking for advance tech naval strategies this is the anime for you.
Art : The art style is essentially 3D Characters, 3D Ships, 2D backgrounds (it seems to be I'm quite sure it is). The 3D characters threw me off a bit during the first episode as the characters movements seemed stiff and not fluent. Though its like they changed artists after the first episode and the art feels better after the first episode. 3D ships well personally I feel this may be the only way to get some really cool naval battle action and its very well done.
Indoors and basically when they are not on the ship the backgrounds are 2D the characters may seem 2D during these scenes as well. Messy start but works well as you continue to watch.
Sound : Great voice acting, Good sound effects. The sounds reach 'quality standards' as per say. Done really well I'm sure you heard some of the effects used in other things.
Characters : The Main characters have been developed well and the supporting cast is also quite developed and strong, They may as well all be main characters in this. Happy to say there is only one love triangle and the other girls have their own reasons for their actions.
Enjoyment : Personally enjoyed watching our protagonists solve problems and how all the naval action is done, The story was enjoyable to watch and I'm looking forward to watching the upcoming movie.
