STORY:
Daybreak Illusion has a fairly unique basis, being based around tarot cards, something I have never seen in an anime before; however DBI turns into your typical magical girl anime with a group of young girls being able to turn into magic girls, in a sense, with their powers being based off their personal tarot card. I thought the story was slightly interesting, there wasn't alot of development except the story being centered around the main character being able to hear the voices of the "daemonia" and the girls fighting these daemonia. Although I initially found the story interesting, it turned a little repetitive and
...
was slow to speak.
ART:
The art in DBI isn't exactly bad, the character designs in general were fairly cute before turning into a more serious style of animation whilst they were fighting which I thought was great. The animation wasn't the most memorable but it wasn't the worst I've ever seen.
SOUND:
The sound in the anime wasn't too memorable or enjoyable although the opening in my opinion was pretty good. The background music wasn't the most fantastic but it suited some of the fight scenes well.
CHARACTERS:
The characters weren't the most interesting although I'd compliment the producers on balancing the personality types well. The characters were pretty stereotypical, especially the main character who was so golden and innocent, I would've preferred if she had some flaws no matter how little.There were some characters I still liked though.
ENJOYMENT:
I started off enjoying this anime but as it progressed I found myself tired with the repetitive and slow story. The story line became pretty stereotypical being your typical magic girl anime; I believe you'll enjoy this anime if you like that genre.
OVERALL:
Overall I believe Daybreak Illusion began as a fairly interesting anime but I found myself getting bored. I thought the anime had great potential but the lack of interesting characters and a developing story line made the anime slow and stereotypical. It may be a great anime for someone who enjoys a decent magical girl anime.

STORY:
This is one of the only story lines I'm finding difficult to place my opinion on because I'm not really sure myself but here it goes: The story of Paranoia Agent is definitely unique and unusual to say the least. Throughout the story I found it quite weird and didn't exactly understand what was actually going on besides the crazy "shounen bat" hitting multiple victims over the head! I thought the story was well thought out in a sense and I was taken by surprise with the plot twist towards the end, however I do believe parts of the end were confusing. The multiple short
...
stories of each victim were interesting and were told in good depth. I wouldn't say the plot was excellent but it wasn't awful either.
ART:
The art in this anime isn't exactly anything to praise, it's pretty mediocre but not the worst art I've ever seen. The character designs are pretty bland and unusual in appearance but like I said, the animation isn't bad.
SOUND:
The sound wasn't too memorable, the opening and ending were slightly odd and you could say they were a little catchy, I'd praise the composers for matching some of the music with the weird story. There isn't exactly much background music to place my opinion on.
CHARACTERS:
The characters were all described in pretty good detail during each of there little arcs. Alot of the characters weren't relatable but the producers did a good job to make them seem more human compared to other anime characters. There were quite a few characters I didn't like but the producers still managed to make me feel sympathy for them at some point in the anime.
ENJOYMENT:
I wouldn't say I hated the anime, some parts I did enjoy. I was intrigued by the unusual plot, some episodes I enjoyed, others were a little tedious or stupid in my opinion.
OVERALL:
Overall there is only one word I could describe Paranoia Agent with, and that's unsual. I believe it is a good psychological anime but it wasn't particularly to my taste. I'd give it credit for not being similar to any other anime I've ever seen. The anime was pretty mediocre, it has it's strengths and weaknesses but overall I'd give it a 6. Perhaps someone out there will appreciate this anime more than I do!

STORY:
The story of Beyond the Boundary is really touching and lovable. I thought it was unique for a romance anime, and especially enjoyed the amazing action that isn't usually associated with anime under the genres of romance, comedy and slice of life. The storyline was wonderful however I thought the climax and its explanation was a little rushed and had a few plot holes, not to mention I believe the ending was quite far fetched and didn't make much sense but I was still happy with how the story ended. The explanations of what was going on was a little brief and I found myself
...
re watching some parts to get whats going on; despite that, I really loved the concept of the story.
ART:
The art in this anime was very beautiful and typical of Kyoto Animation. I loved the attention to detail and thought the fight scenes were very well animated which I didn't expect at all. I found myself shocked at how stunning alot of the scenes were during battles.
SOUND:
The sound is fairly good, I really liked both the opening and ending and thought they were both very well composed. The background music was good but not exactly memorable.
CHARACTERS:
Considering its such a short anime with a fairly complex story line, they did a good job of giving characters depth. Unfortunately I didn't get a lot of background from some of the characters I wanted to know more about, for example Mirai Kuriyama and Akihito Kanbara, but I would blame this fault on the short run the series was given.
ENJOYMENT:
There wasn't a moment of BtB I didn't enjoy, I was constantly laughing at the antics of the four main characters or feeling the sheer emotion towards the end of the anime. I really enjoyed the series and never found a dull moment.
OVERALL:
Overall I believe BtB is an amazing anime, prior to watching the anime I had heard quite alot of fuss over this series and was ready to be slightly disappointed by the anime but I really wasn't, it lives up to all the praise I've heard from many fans. The anime has a nice balance of multiple genres making it different from your average romance, comedy, slice of life. I'll definitely be re watching this in the future and will recommend it to any fantasy lover!

STORY:
The story of Angel Beats is definitely unique to say the least, I have never seen another anime with a similar story line. I found the story creative and emotional, it made me feel so much emotion: sadness, happiness, laughter, anger. I believe the story has the correct balance between comedy and sadness. I found myself constantly laughing at the crazy antics of the "SSS" before suddenly being bombarded with emotion from hearing the backgrounds of the "SSS" members. I believe the story was well told and lovable in the short episode run in had.
ART:
The art in this anime is your typical Key Visual Arts
...
animation with the insanely large eyes and immense attention to detail; it may take a while for some to get used to this style of art but you will soon find yourself loving it. The art overall is consistently beautiful and detailed.
SOUND:
The sound in this anime was beautifully composed as expected from Key Visual Arts anime, the opening and ending both packed alot of emotion and enjoyment, they were also very catchy. The background music to me was very memorable and I thought it was amazing, to have such fitting and emotional background music is a rarity in alot of anime.
CHARACTERS:
The characters were all very well made and rounded, they each had lovable personalities that it was hard to find at least one character you didn't like. One of the things about this anime which I was disappointed in was the fact that I didn't get to see alot of the characters background stories which I wished I could've seen, I would blame this issue on the short run time it was given of 13 episodes.
ENJOYMENT:
As an avid Key Visual Arts anime lover, I really enjoyed this one too. There wasn't a moment I got bored and I ended up watching the anime all in one day. It interested me and willed me to keep watching. I loved how easily the anime could change how I was feeling from fits of laughter to floods of tears.
OVERALL:
Overall I believe Angel beats is an amazing, unique and creative story; it's almost hard to find something bad to pick up on. The art was beautiful, the sound track was amazing, the story was intriguing, the characters were lovable and overall I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this anime to any anime fan. It is a "must watch"!

STORY:
The story of Amnesia isn't exactly your typical romance, it is a tale of a girl trying to find her happiness with a different guy every few episodes. I thought the plot of Amnesia was pretty mediocre, admittedly I enjoyed the first few episodes but after continuing I found it pretty boring and VERY repetitive to say the least. There isn't much I can say about the story of Amnesia without me sounding like I'm completely hating on it; overall I believe the story was ok and will give it the credit of being fairly original.
ART:
The one thing I'd like to praise this anime for
...
is the art, I thought all the character designs from the clothes to the facial features were detailed and beautiful. Amnesia had artwork better than alot of the more popular anime out there in all honesty.
SOUND:
The sound isn't amazing nor is it awful, the opening I thought was very good and I really enjoyed it, however the ending didn't quite live up to the opening. The background sound wasn't very memorable and was pretty average.
CHARACTERS:
Each of the main characters had a fairly in depth background story minus the Heroine considering her amnesia. All the characters were pretty decent until I realized that half of the main characters were deranged, one being OVERLY protective and the other being bipolar; the female lead lacked personality for me and was very bland not to mention useless. The other two remaining main characters were likable to me.
ENJOYMENT:
As I said earlier I enjoyed the first few episodes of Amnesia but found it hard it enjoy the rest. I found it a little irritating to complete the rest of the anime. I may have even really liked the anime if it wasn't so mad, far fetched and repetitive.
OVERALL:
Overall I believe Amnesia was a pretty dull anime which lacked interest, a relatable or fun story and likable characters. The first few episodes seemed promising but after that it seemed to unfortunately go down hill which resulted in me not liking the remainder of the anime.

STORY:
The story of Air is a unique warm hearted tale which sent me through a roller coaster of emotion. I thought the story was both creative and unique considering I have yet to find an anime with a similar plot. The story began light hearted and mysterious, which willed me to complete the anime, I found myself smiling throughout and wanting to see more. Although the story is as I said above, the ending wasn't very rewarding for me, I'd say more but I'd like to prevent giving spoilers. Granted the story is fairly confusing and I did find myself sometimes re watching small segments
...
to get the jist of what was going on. As expected from Key Visual Arts, the creators of the visual novel "Air", they have made a beautiful tale which builds you up only to knock you back down with pure emotion!
ART:
The art in this anime is your typical Key Visual Arts animation with the insanely large eyes and immense attention to detail; it may take a while for some to get used to this style of art but you will soon find yourself loving it. The art overall is consistently beautiful and detailed.
SOUND:
The sound isn't much to be desired, being a short anime of 13 episodes it doesn't have an array of opening or endings, however the 1 opening and ending it does have were fairly good and catchy. The background music during the animation wasn't poor but not exactly the best I've ever heard either.
CHARACTERS:
There weren't many characters but the ones I saw were pretty good, each was shown an in depth back ground story which made you love even the characters you didn't like to begin with.
ENJOYMENT:
As an avid Key Visual Arts anime lover, I really enjoyed this one too. There wasn't a moment I got bored and I ended up watching the anime all in one day. It interested me and willed me to keep watching.
OVERALL:
Overall I believe Air is a wonderful fantasy tale that is heart warming, emotional, and creative, making me feel so much in just 13 episodes! I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it, especially if your a fan of other Key Visual Arts projects such as Kanon, Clannad, Little Busters and Angel Beats.
