A-1 Pictures really turned this adaptation of "Mashle" around. The first season is really nothing to write home about especially if you have already read the manga. This may be mostly because the content it is adapting is just better. Both the opening and closing are great. The animation was quite good. The art style is a perfect fit for the story. It basically looks like a colored manga. The characters are funny. It was just a good time all around. This is probably the best A-1 pictures adaptation of a shonen jump title. It is better than the first season in every conceivable way.

Vampire Hunter D
(Anime)
add
The story and world building is not exactly anything we have not seen before, nor is the writing anything to die for, but what this story lacks in uniqueness it more than makes up for in retro anime vibes. I watched this because someone posted stills from "Vampire Hunter D" on twitter a few days ago and I knew I needed to watch it. The art style definitely fit the story. It kind of looked like a much older version of "Hellsing" or "Hellsing Ultimate". This may not compare particularly well to anime produced today, but the art style was just fun to look at.

Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete

If my personal FBI agent is reading this review, I promise I did not enjoy this anime as much as I did because of the reason you might think. Now that's out of the way, on to the review. I honestly enjoyed this show, and normally anything with Girls Love is an automatic "no" for me. The animation quality was really, really good, and the show was pretty funny. If fan service is not your thing, then you will definitely not enjoy this show. I did not care for the villains'' character designs, but Korisu was probably my favorite among the original three villain girls

Mato Seihei no Slave
(Anime)
add
This was by far my favorite anime this season. It made me hyped for every Thursday. There were definitely a lot of flaws with this adaptation. They left out some stuff, they censored some of it even in the uncensored broadcast, etc, but none of that was enough to ruin it for me. I really like the character designs in this show, and Tenka is one of my favorite anime characters period. The opening and ending are both great, and the chibi segments with Nei at the end were really cute. The voice acting was for the most part well cast as far as I

This is a really good movie. I was really (pleasantly) surprised by the direction that the movie took from the first. As with the first movie, the animation quality and soundtrack were top notch. Some aspects of the movie were a little bit confusing compared to the first, but it is still easy enough to follow without ever having watched an episode of the anime. My only gripe with this movie is that it is clearly trying to be more philosophical than is maybe helpful. To me, the key of Gurren Lagann is how cool it looks, and I prefer it a lot to the

I went to the theatre to watch this without ever watching Gurren Lagann, and I am a fan. I have never watched the show before, but I felt like everything in the movie made sense, and it never really felt like anything was missing which is pretty impressive considering how many episodes of the show were covered. The soundtrack was really good, and the animation quality felt like it was really ahead of its time. I recommend this for people who don't have enough time to watch the entire series. I did not really care for all of the characters, but Simon and Kamina were

Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri
(Anime)
add
I liked this show. It's kind of like if Detective Conan was crossed with the Punisher. After Ron solves the case, he somehow hypnotizes the perp into killing himself/herself. Some of the mysteries are pretty good like the one with barber. The animation is pretty good. My only gripe with the show is that it does not really establish what the main conflict of the show is going to be until very late into the season. I know season 2 has already been announced, and I will watch that as well. I hope that this series will actually resolve the long term conflict of the

Rosario to Vampire Capu2
(Anime)
add
Rosario to Vampire Capu 2 has significantly more anime original content than season 1 and unlike season 1, it does not speed up the story or improve it any way. There are some good episodes. The one where all the girls visit Tsukene's house is probably the best. The original music numbers are not as good. A lot of the jokes get repeated over and over, and it just isn't as interesting by the end. The intro is much better this season. The ending of the series was perfectly acceptable, and the final two episodes had some really funny moments.

This is one of the better sports anime, and I do not typically enjoy sports anime and manga. It starts out very strong because it is kind of like the Hunter Exam mixed with soccer. As the story progresses, it however starts to feel like a more conventional High School Sports anime, which makes it a little less gripping. The animation is really good, and a lot of the characters are fun. The funniest character is the Guy who runs the Blue Lock training facility. The voice acting for the characters from other countries were really weird. I would have enjoyed this anime a lot

Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu
(Anime)
add
I enjoyed Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu. There are some very funny and sweet moments just like any other Rom-Com should have. Also the quality of the animation was quite good. I would have liked this show a lot more if the Male MC were more deranged. I think its kind of messed up how he only fantasizes about murdering Yamada for like one or two episodes, and then it never really comes up again. Also, the entire first season is "Will-They,Won't-They" and unlike say Kaguya I do not really find their daily not being honest with themselves or each other very amusing because
