Let me start with: If you like comedy, read further on, if you don't like comedy, just search for another anime.
Story: 6. Storywise, this anime isn't that great. It has the typical storyline of a main 'hero' who is special in some way and quite OP and who shows everyone else that he's not just a loser. The story is quite clichéd but I do give the show some credits for keeping the difficult explanations of everything at a fast and understandable pace without getting too much into detail but in a way you can still kind of understand everything.
Art: 9. Here I have to
...
start with the art of the OP and ED which I somehow really noticed and really liked. Afterwards let's talk about the art in the anime itself...I think it was great. Normal scenes had nice and clean drawings but what really made me love the art (and in fact the whole anime) was how it switched from a normal perspective to the funny chibi scenes and other comedic stuff. I guess like 60 percent of the anime are held in the comedic style or has comedy scenes which makes the whole anime a really funny one and gives the clichéd story a fresh note.
Sound: 8. The OP and ED were quite nice, although I think that the ED gave a whole different feel (maybe it was the art and less the song) to the anime or it was as if the ED was for a different anime...still I liked it very much.
Character: 10. This is probably the one reason why I watched it til the end. Some of the characters may be clichéd and nothing new but with all these characters mixed together it's just a comedy party and there will be moments when you cannot stop laughing. Also I think it is quite amazing that they managed to give me a feeling of "I know this character pretty well" even if you don't really know anything about some of the characters. I think that is an amazing thing to achieve.
Enjoyment: 8. Like I said very funny, although there were some scenes where I wished they would have done something differently or highlighted something more.
Overall: Great for some fun time and I'm very curious for the 2nd season.
Also, I have never ever seen an anime with THAT many time skips...(in a good way, not in a bad way)

When you ask someone to recommend a romance/school anime many people will recommend Sukitte Ii na yo, because supposedly it is very good...well, it is good, except for the fact that it is highly overrated.
Story: The story is actually quite nice, although very cliché. After 2 episodes I thought it was fast-paced but the story development actually slows down after the beginning (a fact that was really annoying!) so be prepared for some issues to last over several episodes -__-
Art: I loved the art of the anime. Seriously I cannot say anything bad about it because I really really and genuinely liked it :D
Sound:
...
From what I heard about the manga, the OP would probably be suitable for the manga but definitely not (!) for the anime. The ED was okay, the background music not that special, and the OP was nice but didn't suit the mood of the anime itself at all (I skipped it 12 out of 13 times because I just could not stand it)
Character: The characters...well...in the beginning I thought 'Oh they seem interesting and nice' and I was hopeful and curious...but then, just when you think you see some character development the characters go back to being the same old person they were in the beginning which is not only annoying but just makes me dislike them -___-
It wouldn't be that much of an issue if the story pace was faster but unfortunately that's not the case so there were some episodes where I spend my time disliking ALL the main characters and just wanting to punch or yell at them...
Enjoyment: It is nice, not too good, not too bad. And even though there were so many things I didn't like, I have to say some aspects of it seemed realistic (for a shoujo anime) which made me enjoy it a little bit more.
Overall, I think Sukitte Ii na yo is highly overrated and definitely not a must-watch but it is a good recommendation if you like romance and have too much time on your hands...or if you really like the art ;D

Before I watched this anime I read through some reviews and the plot summary and ended up thinking I would get an anime about a lying average girl and a kind of sadistic good-looking guy but don't misunderstand, the anime is very different from what you may initially expect.
Story - the story is very fast-paced (very very fast paced, imo) which in the case of this anime is a good thing. The plot moves along just fine and because of it being fast-paced you get more from this anime than you would originally expect. That does not mean it is totally without clichés (that's why
...
it is 9 out of 10 points for the story)
Art - I just love the art of this anime. It is nice to look at, the colours are wonderful and the comedy as well as the romantic and touching scenes in the anime are made really really well.
Sound - Even if I like the OP or ED of an anime, I normally skip through it after watching it 2 or 3 times...this is actually the very first anime where I watched the OP for every. single. episode. Never happened to me before. The OP (and the ED) were just perfect for the anime and the sounds and background music of the anime was just right. 10 points!
Character - This was one of the areas where I got something totally unexpected from this anime. I thought (after reading the reviews) I would get nearly no character development and just your average shoujo characters. If that were the case I would have probably not completed the anime and started hating the characters, but the truth is, I just love them - all of them. There is just enough character development without making them do a 180° change. Note, that this is one of the few anime were you can actually see something like a male tsundere!!!
Enjoyment - this anime was pure enjoyment for me. I laughed, cried, giggled, yelled and just jumped in front of the screen all the time. Seriously, it was so much fun!
Overall - overall it gets 9 points because I would love to give it a 10 points but seriously it is not a must-watch for everyone. It should be a must-watch for everyone who like romantic comedy anime!

Binan - or Magical Boy anime - whatever name you may prefer, something where we can actually say it's "new"...kind of. Still Binan turned out to be very different from what I was initially expecting, which is a good thing.
Story: In the beginning it uses a "every week a new enemy/mission" style. Later there is more story development and it actually does get a little bit deeper. Also it uses parody elements, which you can already see in episode 1 (if you just want to try watching it)
Art: The art is...well...normal, I guess? It is nothing special but also not bad. The colours are
...
simple and nice, while the backgrounds and everything is okay too, so really it is average...
Sound: It may just be my personal opinion but I really loved the soundtrack of Binan. Sometimes an OP or and ED is really good but it doesn't match the anime, well here you won't have that problem. I think the OP is just perfect for the anime and sounds good too!
Characters: Maybe it was the parody-style of the whole thing...maybe the comedy style, but the characters are very likable (imo). If you like one of them I'm pretty sure you will like all of them, maybe some more than others, but overall very nice, although some of them only develop a background later on in the anime.
Enjoyment: Well, here they just have to get a full 10 points because if you start watching Binan and you like it, than you will definitely enjoy yourself until the very end!
Overall: It is a very nice anime with colourful backgrounds, characters and music and shows you a refreshing and new perspective of the "magical someone" genre, which I think was just...delightful :D So I recommend watching the first two episodes and then decide if you like it or not.

So, K is definitely a good anime, definitely, but unfortunately it's heavily overrated. And before everyone starts thinking "Oh another one who didn't like K and just writes to make it bad": NO, I think K has its good and its bad sites...
Story:
The story behing K is...complicated, to say the least. The first setting (seven kings and so on) sounds great and gives you everything you want. An interesting setting, a little bit of mystery and just enough comedic scenes to really entertain you.
The problem is how the story evolved...without giving any spoilers, It just gets too complicated and too confusing. I liked
...
the flashbacks and everything but if you need a flashback in every episode to explain your story, something is seriously wrong -__-
Art:
The art...*sigh*...the characters itself look great. I really loved the details and the powers and everything related to their powers (the swords of damocles or what it is called) BUT for everything else...the colours were often just blurry or not strong enough. Some scenes just burned your eyes with the light colours and yea, overall, I hated the colours schemes of the anime.
Sound:
While the story was okay, the art a mix between good and bad...well, the sound...the sound was just awful. In action scenes the music took away everything related to action which rioned the scenes and sometimes there was no sound at all which was just annoying. The only good sound parts were the sad and touching scenes...argh...seriously I'm getting angry just thinking about it...
Characters:
Like the setting -> just amazing! I loved the characters and the character design and they are probably the only reason I even finished the anime. The characters were great and I just wished some had a different story than they had...
So for enjoyment and the overall score, K is a good anime. If you tend to fall for the characters and just watch a show because of them, K is perfect for you. If you want a cleanly drawn anime or some really exciting action scenes, watch something else. If you want an interesting story with a little bit mystery, good choice with this.
I would recommend K if I knew the other person likes anime like this, otherwise no. But there is one light in the dark, the movie and the second season has better art and it seems like the sound is better too!!! So if you manage to watch this -> just continue, it gets better :D

Akagami no Shirayuki-hime is easy to describe: A wonderful love story anime with amazing art, typical characters but still enough comedy to have a good time and enjoy watching :D
The story of the anime is not very surprising and yes, I can say that without spoiling, there won't be many surprises and twists in this anime. Maybe some interesting storylines but nothing too major.
AnS is one of those anime you may want to watch every so often, when you are depressed or when you just want to watch a light hearted spring-like anime. This anime offers all that plus some touching scenes which go
...
to your heart but at the same time don't make you cry your eyes out for three days...
AnS also offers wonderful drawings. The character but mostly the amazing landscapes and the clothing details on the royal uniforms and other small details make the art of this anime really amazing and touching. Most of the time it also has a very light and spring coloured touch so don't expect many dark and gloomy scenes.
Overall I really enjoyed the anime, mostly because I really hoped for an anime like this for a long time.
BUT if you want a dramatic masterpiece of art, sound, story and characters I have to say...you won't find it here.
AnS offers romance from beginning 'til end. It gives you just enough drama to keep the romance alive without crying to much and enough comedy to laugh inbetween. It is the perfect anime for inbetween others and to have an enjoyable romance unfolding in front of you =)

Story:
The story of ZnT is quite a serious one, with terrorists and all that. When you first start watching, you expect some sensitiveness toward the topic...well, you won't get it. ZnT starts off mysterious and right into the action and then slowly unravels all the secrets and mysteries.
I really liked the background story and they managed, even though some parts are complicated, to keep it short, compact and entertaining with just the right balance between action and talking.
Art:
Maybe it didn't deserve the full 10 points...there were some parts which weren't drawn that good, but this is a score with priority to my
...
likes. I really like this kind of art so it's 10 points for me.
The backgrounds are detailed enough and the characters are drawn well too. What I noticed: ZnT is an anime where the characters actually do change their everyday clothes...:D
Sound:
Soundtracks are always about what you like and dislike...I wasn't a big fan of the opening and ending, but that may just be me. The music and sounds during the anime were great though because it is not your usual Japanese songs or just some background sounds. They play with different songs and with this give different feelings to the anime.
Character:
Here I can just congratulate. The staff of ZnT really managed to make you feel for the characters in just 11 episodes which in my opinion is quite amazing.
Enjoyment:
I really enjoyed watching but I do have to say, this anime is probably not the right thing for everyone. Still I recommend it :D Also I didn't like some of the events in the story, so I just give it a 9.
Overall:
10 points because it's not that often that I'm so mesmerized by an anime. ZnT isn't the typical anime and shows some new topics or perspectives. It also gives you interesting characters and enough action to not fall asleep, ever.
I really recommend watching. If you like it after 2 to 3 episodes then it is something for you :D

Why I started watching? Because I like music-related anime and I like the drawing style this anime has.
Story?
Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso is one of those anime where after like 6 to 10 episodes you already know where it will go and you can vaguely guess what things will happen in the future. But don't think it's lame or boring just because you know what will happen because it still gives you some funny or touching scenes and also some surprising side events.
What I really liked about the story was the fact that the story took it's time and showed you a
...
more complex and deep background to everyone/everything. If you want a fast-paced anime, you're wrong here. If you want a touching and amazing story, you're at the perfect place.
Art?
The drawing and the anime style is really great. It's clean and has the right proportions. Also, in sad or not so happy scenes they made the characters and the background more grey and darker, while in funny or happy scenes the whole picture was colourful and shining.
I really like how the producers played with the colours :)
One thing I didn't like: In some episodes they used some standing-still pics, so nothing was moving and you could only hear the voice...nice sometimes but at other times it was annoying...
Sound?
Piano - great, Violin - great, Opening and ending - I love them...they really captured the feeling of the anime. Soundtracks and Backgorund music was played at the right time and in the right volume :D
Also the voice actors - perfect match!
Character?
In SwKnU don't expect non-cliché characters...you won't exactly get those...yeah, most of the characters are similar to ones you probably already saw in others but I think because of the storyline they managed to put them in new light and not make them to predictable. Personally I think it was funny, because this is probably the first anime ever, where I don't have a character I don't like at least a little bit. They made the right mix of serious and happy characters =3
Enjoyment?
Here it's to say: Is it enjoyment of you find something really touching and maybe cry? Well, I say yes...This anime is, even though I know what will happen, one of those I want to watch again and again and again, just because I really enjoyed watching it XD And even though there were some sad scenes I like it and I think it's a great anime...
Overall?
I recommend this anime to everyone who like touching and sometimes sad anime. Also if you like piano music it's quite good I think and some funny scenes or lines takes a little of the sad touch away so it's really nice to watch :D
One last remark for those who know more about Japanese dramas, not only anime: I never watched the Japanese drama 1 Litre of Tears but I could imagine this is like the anime version of such a show. For those who watched the drama...

If I had to name some Must-Watch Anime, Code Geass would definitely be one of them.
STORY: The story is amazing, I love how the characters develop and also the main background in Code Geass. Although there is much fighting I really liked the Code Geass world and even until the last few episodes you won't know what the ending will be like.
ART: If the story of Code Geass wouldn't be this great from the beginning until the end I probably would have stopped watching after seeing the first episode. I didn't like the art in the beginning, it was different than what I normally watch
...
BUT luckily the story is amazing and I watched until the end. After watching the first few episodes you get used to the art and I actually loved it by the middle of the anime.
SOUND: If I had to be honest, I don't remember much of the soundtrack except for the openings and endings. But it can't have been to bad or I would have noticed it more. So I give 7 points for this.
CHARACTERS: They are amazing. Code Geass made it happen that everyone of the important characters could tell his/her own story while the main plot was happening. Every character was complicated but still you understand what they feel.
ENJOYMENT: I absolutely enjoyed Code Geass! There is a good mix of action and conversation. So everytime you nearly started to get bored with all the talk they switched it without problems to an action scene and back.
OVERALL: For me, Code Geass is a must watch. Not only for the mecha genre but generally.

Actually I started to watch this Anime last year and dropped it midway, because I didn't like some things which happened...but some days ago I decided to try this anime again and I don't regret it!
Story:
- The story is quite interesting and there are some new things which you don't see in other anime.
- Although you can sometimes guess what will happen in the next few episodes it's still exciting and I didn't care even though I knew what was going to happen.
Art:
- I love anime which have a nice drawing style and Aquarion Evol was definitely one of them. Although there were little mistakes
...
(which happens in nearly every anime) it was nice to watch. Also it's quite colourful which makes the anime even better.
Sound:
- I love the soundtrack of Aquarion Evol, there were some songs from the prequel but also new ones and this was definitely an anime where you noticed that there was music but it also matched the scenes perfectly.
Characters:
- Well, there are good ones, bad ones and if I had to say which I didn't like I couldn't really name one. Although I liked some of the characters better than others, all in all, all of them were quite funny and interesting.
Enjoyment:
I watched Aquarion Evol in 2 days! I really enjoyed watching it, becaue it has a nice feeling and is perfect for a little break between some other anime.
Overall: I don't think Aquarion Evol is a Must-Watch Anime if it is about all genres but if we speak about the mecha/romance genre I think it's quite interesting and I recommend watching it...I think I also liked the anime because it has so many different elements (genres) in it.
