A lot of movies and TV shows nowadays are all "let's put as MUCH crap as we can to fit into a screen per millisecond of video. That'll really engage the audience and put us at the top of the entertainment industry." Black Rock Shooter instead starts off on the right foot by mixing plentiful, smooth action scenes with a daily school girl life, making the transition seem sudden and exhilarating.
The story, though a bit obvious and somewhat weird, started off rather slow. Really slow. Like half of 40 minutes was literally a couple average days of school. But let's not stay bogged down
...
by the trivial details; it picks up quite suddenly after the second half starts, becoming strangely very serious and uncharacteristically abrupt. However, when you watch it, trust me, it's pretty darn predictable, yet entertaining all the same. There also wasn't much explanation, leaving the entire story up to the interpretation of the viewer. Which really annoys me, because the story is literally never explained, and the character's backgrounds are vague as well as the ending. However, don't let that deter you; the action was entertaining, and the fight scene was freaking epic.
The art, man, the art was gorgeous. Not during those mundane school scenes, but during the sword clashes and gun blasts. The angles were drawn flawlessly and the pace was rapid, not letting you suck in too much of the environment before being whisked away to an entirely different place. This kept the action fresh and inviting; the only problem was that the fighting, in proportion to the rest of the OVA, was scarce and fleeting. You only seemed to nail the tip of the ice berg here.
The sound was fast-paced, the ED melancholic and OP fast-paced and hurried. Supercell is great, and the mood matched perfectly. I'm not complaining about the sound effects, which were equally impressive. Overall, it was top-notch, and the quick movements of instruments were mirrored by the characters, creating an inviting sound experience.
The characters were iffy, at best. You figure out the main protagonist's personality and characteristics early on; her friend stays mysterious the entire time. However, nothing was explained, and there was no flashback nor background interrogation. Instead, it was, again, all up for the viewer to interpret for themselves. Sometimes, this isn't a bad thing, but this OVA really leaves you hanging. I guess they knew they were going to make a TV show based on this, but seriously, the cliff-hanger was ridiculous. However, the characters weren't a bad mix, and I certainly found them entertaining.
Overall, this was a fun little 45 minute detour from the usual mix. I would watch this simply for the artwork and action scenes; they were packed with detail and exploded with color and interesting drawing angles. Though the characters could have been more engaging, they weren't, and other aspects of the story fall way short of the line; however, there were many good qualities, which makes the anime entertaining, at best. Now that theme song is stuck in my head...

Crazy, how a couple of extra episodes can really change your perceptions on said series. Episodes 12.5 and 25 were EXCELLENT. Specials are what specials are; don't come in expecting perfection and excellence in every millisecond. However, these specials did manage to satisfy my feelings over the original anime and even notched up my enjoyment that much more.
This time, the story was consistant and enjoyable. It wasn't overdone, nor too slow and boring. 12.5 was merely a comedic episode, a way to diffuse the tension from the original series, told from an interesting point of view. As usual, the story isn't told from the typical
...
perspective of a main character, but from a side character, making a charming little side-story that helped lighten the mood. The overall way it was done solidified my enjoyment. Episode 25 was only just a little more serious. Though it really didn't tie up any loose ends or further the plot, but instead was once again, a comedic relief in the grand city of Ikebukuro. There was a humorous twist throughout the whole thing, but plenty of action and some romantic aspects as well. Episode 25 left a better taste in my mouth than the official ending of Durarara! did, so expect good things.
The art and sound I'll clump together, because as usual, the art was stellar and the sound spectacular. The characters' facial expressions were perfect, every sinew and fiber drawn into exact detail. OP and ED aside, the music again was great. I love the way the music is subtle yet prevalent, always riding on the coattails of the current storyline.
Overall, these were very well-done pieces of art-work. I heavily enjoyed these specials, more so than the actual series. It provided a relief from the bleak world of Durarara and instead focused on each character and their personal interactions with others around them. This made for an ideal deviation from the main storyline and more towards personal viewpoints and struggles. Great way to end an anime.

Expect the unexpected: that phrase doesn't come truer than in Durarara! This anime starts and leads up to an amazing story, backplot, twists and turns that'll leave your stomach in knots. However, towards the end the story falls flat on its face, devoid of deeper meaning or any sort of audience connection as the inner theme prematurely bursts out, forcing you down the gullet of paranoia and a little disappointment.
The story was told in such a fascinating way, it was hard to grasp at first. It simply wasn't told from a main protagonists point of view, but split among multiple major and minor characters that
...
all told their individual stories that intertwined like spaghetti. This made for an interesting roller coaster ride: you never knew whose story you would listen to in the episode. The whole three faction conflict, mixed with string-pulling and several interesting characters was most invigorating. Several interesting backgrounds and circumstances were revealed, with each characters' problems laid bare from their internal struggles. Loved it. However, this also made for a bit of confusion: sometimes, the characters had flashbacks or the episode wasn't necessarily in chronological order; but that ALSO made it so exhilarating, holding onto the edge of your seat. But what irked me the most was the build-up: suspense, pent up from the start of the anime, built constantly and continuously throughout the anime as more and more information was revealed. The ending, by far, was the most anticlimatic ending I've ever seen. Ever. In the history of everything I've watched (which I know I haven't watched a lot, but STILL). I was literally so disappointed at the ending, it was like watching a balloon deflate instead of hearing a loud BANG from a needle stabbed suddenly. I wanted to strangle myself......
TLDR: I give the story a 7, because it was yes, overall it was an interesting and new story; however, the ending disappointed the heck out of me.
The art, however, did not disappoint me in the least. The detail was gorgeous, and if anyone has watched Baccano! before, look for the hidden messages and various details within Durarara. It'll surprise you.... Overall, I enjoyed the characters' lanky feel and the facial expressions were fantastic. There was little the art skimped on; the colors were smooth and flowing, the weather reflected the mood. I know this sounds cliche, but I've seen other animes skimp on the detail, so I give credit where credit is due.
On man, the songs and background mood music really were astounding. The OP I loved; it was fast-paced and jazzy, just like the overall mood. The ED was pop-sounding and rock-influenced; I loved the ED much more. During key moments in the anime, the music dropped to this foreboding track, and it made me feel much more engrossed. During the happy moments, there was cheerful, peppy song that really deflated the mood and made it bearable again.
The characters were, how can I say, either fantastically engrossing or stubbornly irritating. The main protagonist really grated my nerves for much of the story. Mikado continually refused to impress me, and that contributed to the anime's general decline; however, his backstory sort of explains his situation..... Masaomi, his best bud that carries a dark secret, is a well-developed character that really showed bravado and fortitude, doing everything right and more. A great character. Anri, who also harbors an ominous secret, also could have been one of the best characters of the whole series; however, she really never lives up to my expectations and constantly led me on, only to crash my dreams. The black rider was AMAZING; she really carried the story's underlying message well. Most of the other minor characters, like the hilarious mad-scientist Shinra, the hard-to-understand Shizuo, and the stolid Kadota really packed a punch. It's just two of the main characters really dragged the rest of the crew down, making for an iffy cast.
All in all, what made me so mad was this had so much potential, only to really trip on that one banana peel of character development and story climaxing. Everything else was superb and top-notch; but certain elements really made such a great anime so depressingly.....disappointing. There really is no other word, but I wasn't left with this glowing feeling of satisfaction, just emptiness. Who knows? This may not be your cup of tea; it sure wasn't mine. It was refreshingly entertaining and certainly different than your average Joe anime, but it fell far from the bulls-eye. After all, everything in the end stays the same.

Hatsune Miku strikes again, but not with a leek; a music video, albeit with a darker and more ominous sort of tone. I've always loved Miku; that's actually how I was introduced into the world of animated characters and such. The strange, mellifluous flowing of Miku's electronic voice always appealed to me, and here it sounded strangely lucid and creepy. Since this technically isn't an anime and simply the precursor to the OVA and the new show itself, this review isn't going to be long.
Story: Sounds depressing. Miku really belts out a sad lament. That's really it.
The art was colorful (yet dark) and the swirling
...
eddies of blue and black really added to the tone of the overall music. Miku, portrayed sort of a damsel in distress, is drawn dark and foreboding, smooth lines yet jagged edges.
Character: What character development really was there? It was simply Miku singing the entire time. I've never reviewed something with no characters.....Still, this was simply an advertisement for the OVA and now TV show. So yea, the lone and only character was fantastic. After all, it was only 5 minutes...
Overall, I since it's Miku, I loved it. However, not all of us are fans - therefore, you may find this boring or uneventful or stupid. For me, this was a nice little break from my other anime series, and an enjoyable one at that.

There needs to be more specials like this. Instead of goofy off-topic plots that lead to nowhere, these specials actually deepened my sense of appreciation for this show. However, one cannot categorize both specials into one mold - the first special, episode 7.5, came during the series, while episode 13 came after everything was said and done.
I'll clarify: episode 7.5 was a goofy spin-off. Sure, it had a plot element, but that was superseded by humor and comedy. I actually enjoyed this much more than the funny moments during the actual series - I ended up pausing at some parts to laugh, because the
...
girls were just so darn comedic it was hard to keep a straight face. The story, though ultimately stupid, had a deeper undertone to it. Episode 13 was almost the exact opposite. A couple loose ends were tied up, but then BAM the hammer fell. Rio and Kanata have this epic conversation concerning certain loose ends not explained in the actual series. I don't want to spoil it, but man, they go really deep. The ominous tone returns, rearing its ugly face; but there are bright spots in the world. I loved the overall theme as well; it's sort of a metaphor for even today's modern times.
The art was, as usual, stellar and detailed. I enjoyed the scenery and environment, lush as ever, alluding to 18th century European architecture and layout. The characters, as usual, are drawn K-Onish sort of, cute and with very wide eyes. Interestingly, the colors often contrasted with the mood this time, becoming the antithesis of the more brooding conversations that were made.
Intro and ending were exactly the same as the main anime; I listened to both, again. The opening sounded nostalgic and hopeful, while the ending was cheerfully optimistic. I always loved the sound effects; nothing wrong with this, either.
A short review, but for a relatively short series of specials. These were much more serious than I originally had anticipated; however, it was way worth the time it took to watch it. Rather than being slice-of-lifey or a little stupid, these went over the top with symbolism and a great theme of life everyone should aspire to. Little Kanata has grown out of her shell, and is ready to take on the world. One small, fleeting, unsteady step at a time.

When I was young and ignorant, I often cried a lot. Give me this, give me that, I didn't care - I wanted it now. My parent's go-to strategy? Hum......."Amazing grace, how sweet, the sound, that saved, the wretch, like me...." Instantly, I would sleep. There's something magical, or, for a lack of a better word, penetrating about that song. It strikes right through your heart, uplifting your spirit and calming your soul. Sora no Woto evolves and becomes something truly wonderful with a powerful, underlying theme.
The story is wonderful; it starts off slice-of-lifey and really slow and painful, especially for the people who want
...
a grandiose story and perfect mood/tone. However, stick through the first half a dozen episodes, and you slowly fall in love with the characters. Throughout the beginning, there is an undertone of dread and mixed optimism, a bittersweet tang in the back of your mouth so to speak. The little hints and clues slowly build a bigger picture that encompasses the main story, eventually interfering with their perfect lives. I don't want to spoil anything because trust me, it gets pretty intense and riveting. I become to sympathise with the characters, their plight, their endless struggle against an unkind and unloving world. And throughout it all, there was the ominous, foreboding military. The overall theme is magnificent - it portrays a common struggle humanity constantly is at war with: aggression and ultimately, love.
The artwork is dazzling and spectacular. There's this cheery sort colors that blend with the moods of the characters. During the happy parts, the colors appeared lush and bright. The depressing or gloomy or grim moods brought storms, dark clouds, and other drab colors. There were vast mountain vistas and grand scenes of nature and of a quaint town. The setting depicted 18th century Europe accurately, with a technological quirk here and there. Everything was drawn to exact detail; the cobblestone streets, the distant snow on the mountains, the old vehicles - I almost felt like I was there.
Besides the fact that Amazing Grace is one of my favorite songs, the sound continually surprised me. The trumpet sound was clean and pristine, reflecting the beautiful sceneries. The panoramic views and sound melded together perfectly. The OP was a foreshadowing of an important event; the ED was happy and go-lucky, as if to say, "Phew, it's over." I listened to both, and ended up loving both.
The characters were your typical cast of a slice-of-life - the tsundere, the carefree one, the authoritative one. In the general slice-of-life, there isn't a character arc; however, here there were major changes in personalities and attitudes. Dark secrets were revealed, and pasts were uncovered beneath once impenetrable outer masks. The characters themselves were standard only for the first couple episodes; once they dug deep, truths were uncovered that changed their perceptions about each other for a long time.
Overall, I enjoyed it thoroughly, much more than I originally thought. I loved the story progression and epic conclusion and little things both big and small. Though it may seem too happy-go-lucky for the first episodes, the dark nature and underlying tone eventually force their way to the surface, and prepare for a bumpy ride. Through music, a simple song can calm all.

I'll admit, I wasn't going into this anime with much fervor. I had comparatively little hope, and I had heard almost nothing about this anime. This resulted in a dismal prediction: I thought this would suck. Bad. Though it did live up to my expectations, it had just enough story to sort of come out as merely pleasant.
I've watched very few slice-of-life sort of shows, and I may not be one to judge, but I did love the story. 12 episodes, however, isn't quite enough to fully finish a story. I found myself left hanging; this could have so much more potential. The whole "high
...
school girls" theme seems prevalent enough and this anime is no exception. The ending felt rushed, but most of the time you lazily drift from episode to episode. If you don't like slice-of-life, DONT WATCH THIS. This has no major moral, lesson, or ending note; it melts your brain. Seeing that I have no brain left, I don't care anymore.
Story: 7/10
The art is cheery and friendly, with bright colors everywhere and the environment is full of light and happiness. There are no panoramic vistas, so don't expect anything exceptional or stunning. However, I did enjoy the artwork. The characters were drawn chibi-style, which I always enjoy. The attention to detail may have not been anything special, but it wasn't horrible either.
Art: 7/10
The OP is lively and upbeat, happy and cheerful. I always love the OP and EDs, and this was no exception. The ED was more slow and nostalgic sounding, but still carried a happy melody. What was most interesting, however, were the songs throughout each episode. Besides the OP and ED, a song sung by one of the characters was played somewhere through the episode. This was a pleasant surprise; each song was new and fresh, crisp and cheerful. There were three songs to listen to, and I was very satisfied.
Sound: 8/10.
The characters were nothing special; four high school girls. You got the leader, the slightly oblivious one, etc etc. Similar to both Lucky Star and K-On!; don't expect anything different. There were no especially tear-jerking moments, but the comedy was novel, and something to look out for. Many of the jokes were pretty subtle; other times, they were ridiculous. The characters' interaction were also so-so, just simple high-school life. Nothing stood out, but maybe simplicity made the characters seem more personal. I feel like newer anime tries too hard to endow the characters with unrealistic emotions and experiences; this simplicity was very gratifying.
Characters: 8/10.
Overall, this may not be your slice of cake. You may taste bitterness, maybe outright stupidity. However, I did appreciate this short but sweet anime. Though not overly completely satiating, like a whole piece of pie, this was just a sweet but fleeting taste, like a ripe cherry. Nothing overly dramatic or unique, yet delectable all the same. My final opinion? Try the first episode; if it's not your cup of tea, I'll hit you with a baseball bat.

When I finished this little 3 minute sound-bite, I blinked, put down my soda, and rubbed my eyes. What in the HECK did I just watch? Was this about a cat, named oh-so-adorably, or what? Worry not, my dear friends, this ride got just a little more bumpy.
Don't let that little intro deter you; this was by far one of the funniest clips of anime I've seen in awhile. It delivered to me more laughs than whole freaking episodes. The story was a little odd, let me tell you; the intro was an LSD trip, and I was sort of confused. I mean, hold on,
...
nothing is square in this story. Everything comes in CIRCLES. Yes, the cat is a freaking circle with arms and legs sticking out randomly and a crooked tail. Cute, yes; creepy, sort of kind of. And it's got such a personality on its own! I don't really know what this is going to be about, but I was pleasantly surprised by the abrupt way the comedy is told. By the time the joke is told, another takes its place rapidly.
TL;DR: Story=FUNNY. I give it an 8/10.
The art is subpar, but who cares? THERE'S A CIRCULAR CAT. COME ON GUYS. A. CIRCLE. CAT. Tell me how often you see one on your way to school or work. Then talk to me. Anyway, the intro isn't anything special, and the colors are bright and cheery. Everything is so cute and chibi-like, it's almost hard not to like the cat or characters. Well-done for such a short amount of time.
Art: 7/10.
The sound is where it gets me. The noises are funny and accurate, prompting me to listen out for the cat's meow (or nyan). The intro made me laugh. Now that laugh could be from hysteria or actual comedy; I'm not sure. I loved everything about the sound effects.
Sound: 8/10.
The character development - wait. There was none. What do you expect, it's barely more time than you brush your teeth! However, the cat's personality was golden - they portrayed him/her/it perfectly. The characters interact well, and the comedy that results from their cute personalities makes it all the better.
Character: 7/10.
Overall, this was something funny and pleasant to watch. Plus it's so short, you can watch it quickly and continue on with your life. The pleasantries and laughs I got from this was well worth the download. QUICKLY. Cats have an acute sense of hearing.

What makes Code Geass so popular? Is it the captivating visuals, the stunning plot twists, the bombastic dialogue, the epic scope of the world itself? Could it be the character interaction, the political drama, possibly the dynamic nature of the main character himself? It's a mystery why this anime appeals to so many people until you really delve into the juicy details of this wonderful story that combines hardcore fighting and action and stark reality of life to how the human condition works throughout it all.
Starting off slow, the anime seems not to pick up with the first season. I had a real "wtf" moment
...
for awhile; was I watching the same show? This was not Code Geass as I had known before. But as always, the story became surprisingly fast-paced and bitter; the story progressed in such a way that one can compare it to ripples in a pond - as the story went on, the ripples of the characters' actions affected future events at an increasingly dangerous pace. I won't reveal the story; the synopsis is enough. However, there's enough for everyone - the action, the side-story romances, and the sub-plots of various characters. Interestingly enough, the sub-plots actually tied in with the main story; though they did provide background information for said character, those side stories later impacted the main story line with enough force for attention. Lelouch again shows his brilliant military and chess mind, acting with accordance, showing he's always three or four steps in front of his opponents. In season one, he seemed to roll over most of his opponents mercilessly; there were exceptions, but he seemed to have it too easy. However, he really meets his match again and again, striving with all his heart and mind to overcome the seemingly impossible barriers before him.
The art was beautiful; the effects, stunning; the fast-paced heart-stopping action sequences, amazing. So much effort was put into the art, it was hard not to wander and admire the various environments the characters were in. There was never a real permanent setting, either, which meant more gorgeous artwork and camera-panning vistas that left one on the imaginary precipice of breathlessness. The action was longer and more profound; the mecha scenes were really something. While the fighting was taking place, the characters shouted at each other, making the battle seem more life-like and less autonomous and machine-oriented. The weapons, also, were fantastically different. Every special mecha had a unique weapon or capability, and the various characters each had their speciality.
From the epic dialogue to the dramatic OP and ED, the sound never failed to impress me. The OP wormed its way onto my ipod, and the ED I never failed to watch. The artwork here was also beautiful; the OP was always dramatic and fast-paced, underlying the real mood of the story. The ED was almost melancholy and mournful. The dialogue was astounding; the characters really showed who they were through their mouths; every conversation was important, and usually pretty darn dramatic and dark. When fighting, when thinking, when alone - the characters had such a great way of expressing themselves, their beliefs, and from that, we, as an audience, could discern their real personalities.
Ahhhhh, what is a movie or TV show without it's characters? Just an empty husk or shell. The characters were the icing on the cake, the concrete foundation of a skyscraper, the anchor of a battleship. Without these characters, the cake would not taste as good, the building would crumble, the battleship overturned in the stormy seas. Lelouch was epic as ever, trying to balance his ambitions and aspirations with personal problems and liabilities. It's one vs the majority; and he's in for a bumpy ride. Suzaku morphed several times during the show, exhibiting surprising unheard of characteristics and a dark, brooding past that weighs on his soul. I would put Kallen as the next main character - she is has an interesting relationship with Lelouch, the Black Knights, the school friends, and Suzaku. She continually is portrayed as solid, with a mostly unshakable, hard-headed mind. C.C. is very, very important; mysterious, as always, her past and motivations seen are revealed...for better or for worse....
Overall, I was impressed and completely satisfied with this masterpiece of an anime. Is there really any more to ask for? The producers of the show put everything that was needed. However, several times the key moments of the show seemed hurried or hasty; but that's about the only negative thing I have to say. The storyline was epic, the art staggering, the characters awesomely portrayed. The flaws were too few to be named, the benefits too many to be mentioned. Remember: a Geass is two-faced.

Watching a movie or TV show is sort of like reading a book: the plot must capture your attention, the dialogue must be captivating, the characters must develop, and an overall picture must at first be obscure, only to become more clear as the story progresses. Code Geass does this and so much more, taking science fiction, romance, action, mecha and character and plot development onto an interstellar level. This was one of the only anime I've watched where I had to sit back and reflect: what the HECK just happened?
The story was just excellent. The political infighting, friend bickering, resistance fighting, romantic spin
...
and serious hardcore action melded perfectly from the start. The story delves headfirst, without a lengthy intro, and continues at a an increasingly faster pace. The "geass" is revealed early in the show, and it twists the plot this way and that. The last couple of episodes had me gripping my seat, biting my nails, twisting my hands - anything to get the nervousness out of my system. Suspenseful and fast-paced and sprinkled with betrayal and common themes of life, Code Geass starts off light but becomes very heavily serious with plot twist after plot twist. It quickly became very dark and foreboding. I found myself walking away, shaking my head; it was too hard not to simply watch in one sitting.
The visuals are stunning, to say the least. The characters are drawn tall and lanky, with stereotypical straight hair. The backdrops are gorgeous, the environment drawn to the exact detail, the battles are, ahem, FREAKING AWESOME. There really is no other term; being a fan of action, this satiated my taste for some good ol' shoot em' up action flick. The anime did NOT skimp out on any scene.
The sound was merely enjoyable; the OP and ED were nothing special until the second half of the season. There, it really picked up. I never did notice the background music; it never left a lasting impression. Then again, I was probably so absorbed into what was unfolding story-wise that I forgot to notice something as trivial as background music....however, the music did fit the mood when I happened to notice it, and there was always some sort fast-paced beat during the epic scenes, so it all works out.
Lastly, the characters: a huge hit. There was the character for everyone, the tough guy, the strategist, the morally "right" guy. But the way these characters interacted within the bigger context of the Code Geass world: priceless. The way the government was portrayed sounded faintly similar to the British government during the American Revolution; I'll keep it at that. Each character changed and developed, and the main character probably experienced every emotion in the book at some point. Emotions flowed freely: romance, pain, grief, love, betrayal - they were all shown, in exquisite detail, from a variety of characters. It was refreshing to see human characteristics; many anime tend to sort of skip of the ramifications of certain actions, leading to a dull storyline. Code Geass, however, takes it a step further and actually shows what happens to the human condition when we experience major loss, grief, or anger.
Overall, this anime was probably one of the best I've ever seen. At the end, it does leave you hanging; however, the way they set it up shows that the second season won't be disappointing either. The excellently portrayed characters mixed with a few ingredients of epic sound and stunning visuals all in a larger pot of a heart-stopping story leads to a dinner of the gods. Watch the anime; at least give the first couple of episodes a shot. I'll make a contract with C.C. because you won't be disappointed.
