So when i first saw Nagi no Asukara while looking at shows to watch i was intrigued by the short synopsis that was written out for it. so I watched the first episode and i was really intrigued by the setting and it's characters but i could never have finished it so i stopped. eventually i came around and finished it and boy it was a fun ride from start to finish.

The story is so intriguing (at least for me) from beginning to end and can either leave you asking questions or at some points make you feel confused. What i really liked about the ... story was that it's based around the central theme of love and relationships with friends and the person you may/may not like.

The art in this anime is visually stunning to look at and can sometimes leave you breathless.

The sounds is so amazing that you may/may not want to hook it up to an surround system. i really like all of the openings and endings to the show as there is always some kinda message hidden between the lyrics and also this may be a small nit pick but i really like the echo in some of the scenes really makes it feel like you could here that characters voice from to and fro.

Speaking of which the characters of Nagi no Asukara have such lovable personalities and you can immediately like a few of them from the get go or hate them depending on your point of view on them. however as the anime goes on the relationships between the main characters grows to the point where someone might like someone in the friend group and etc.

Overall Nagi no Asukara is a really intriguing show from start to finish and quite frankly i enjoyed it and if you really like your romance anime or fantasy anime with an intriguing story then this is the show for you

When i saw this anime was announced i knew that there was going to be something special.

The story is very flushed out despite it being short and the art is really beautiful, breathtaking and sometimes awe inspiring but im getting too ahead of myself.

I loved the way that sound was used to add meaning to not only the anime itself but also too particular scenes like for example the sound of footsteps to certain music scores adding depth and meaning to the scene that its used in.

Character development is really good because it not only steadily paced but it also makes us the viewer like ... these characters and actually care about them and in particularly one but you will have to watch it first.

Despite it being 5 episodes long i actually quite enjoyed the "mini series" as i would call it and i would recommend it to anyone who has just a few minutes out of their day or if just looking for something to finish in some days.

Hi there everyone my name is MRN3 and this is my lovely review of Sword Art Online 2 which is the second season to the original Sword Art Online.

So i guess i shall at the beginning. SAO 2 mostly sticks with three arcs for its story and no im going to tell you what they are called but i can sum it up in a few words. The first arc is action packed, the second arc is to me considered the filler arc for the series and the thrid and final arc is (at least imo) very emotional.

All of the main characters return ... and of course you can't have a new show without adding some newbies as well so for this season we get introduced to two new characters Sinon and Yuuki and their nice new additions to the series as they liven up the situation and one can or cannot make you cry. (yes i am not joking when i mention that).

The art style for SAO 2 is visually good to look at and yes even though it uses some cg visuals at certain times its still is nice and pretty to look at and the same could be said for sound as the music score is really good and sure some of the music you might of heard in season one is there but it makes sense to put it in this one as well because it is used very well in certain situations.

Overall i personally enjoyed the show and i reckon if you like the first season of SAO then you should definitely try to give this one a shot. the same can be said if you like action style anime.

Before I start if you haven't read or seen the first season of Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya then either read my review or watch the first season and then come back here.

So if your still here welcome back to Fuyuki City where Illya's normal life still gets disrupted but only this time by a full blown clone of herself.

In other words the sequel is even more interesting then the first season as it moves away from the magical girl tropes and into the Fate tropes that everyone knows and loves. keep in mind the Magical Girl tropes are still there but not as much ... as the first season.

The art and sound are beautiful to look at and to listen to as well as this series uses water and bubbles as part of the art style in certain scenes as for the sound well just listen to the ending theme and you would understand why that song was chosen and is part of the story.

Character development was key again in the sequel as we see more of Illya's friends and their weird little quirks and other new characters like the servant and someone form the church association but the major character development was Kuro a new character added to the series as she went from I want to kill the person who looks like me to I want to live a normal everyday life like everyone else including Illya.

In other words I enjoyed the sequel as it had everything the first season had and multiply it by 1000 or a lesser number so if you are looking for a magical girl style anime or if you like the Fate series in general or the first season then you will like this one

when I first saw Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya as being a newcomer to the Fate/ universe I wasn't expecting much but oh boy my expectations were blown away the minute I hit play.

The story has a magical girl vibe where you make a contract to fight evil and become magical girls but keeping true to the Fate/ universe and its lore with most of the enemies Illya, Miyu, Rin and Luvia fight make up the 7 classes of servants from the Holy Grail War. all in told the story is great and the pacing is spot on as everything flows really well.

The art is beautiful ... to look at as the background looks pretty and the fight scenes in the parallel world are fluid and amazing to watch even the character designs are beautiful.

The sound design is amazing from the music to the minor sounds even the voice acting in both the dub and sub is good to an extent.

Character development in the show has it's ups and downs but the one character I liked throughout the show was Illya as she had a lot of character development over the course of the anime where she was tricked to becoming a magical girl to realizing that she can die and stepping away from fighting at one point to realising that she can help everyone especially Miyu.

Overall Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya is a great anime to watch especially if you are new to the Fate/ universe like me cause you can just appreciate it for what it really is :)

I would like to start this review with a few words that truly express the ending of the first episode. "Be careful what you wish for".

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 is a 2009 anime that presents us with a what if situation and how people will react to said what if situation and it does a pretty good job showing what happens when a earthquake of that magnitude hits Tokyo.

Story: The story is set around 3 characters who all meet up on the island of Odaiba after the initial quake and set of on a journey to make their way back home. The story in Tokyo Magnitude ... 9.0 is great because it shows the journey it takes for our 3 MC's (Mirai, Yuuki and Mari) to get back to their homes but also explores what happens to friends, family and strangers as they traverse a destroyed Tokyo.

Art: The art is pretty to look at and shows the world around them being destroyed and ripped apart. even the OP art design is beautiful to look at.

Sound: The sound in Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 is a joy to listen to as the sound mixes in with the environment and changes to reflect the situation. If there was one complaint I had which is a minor one and I can look over is the lip syncing in the dub is sometimes off as in some scenes the characters mouths start moving and there is a slight delay but that shouldn't ruin your experience.

The character development in Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 was really essential to pull of such an amazing story and they pulled it off. Everybody had their own character development but the one I was interested in was Mirai's as she went from a 7th grader who always thought about the bad things of here family to caring for her younger brother and to getting him home safely.

Overall this is one of the anime's on my list that is a tearjerker and I will almost guarantee that someone would've have almost cried at some point of the anime as I almost did so it really deserves that nine and once you've watched one episode you will be hooked on it to see it to the end :)
