This will be a very short review. It will just entail the reasons why someone would want to get into Kuroko and why someone wouldn't. It also shows reasoing for my opinion and so that you see what I think of this anime.

This is a great series. FAR from being as good as the legendary Slamdunk but still nonetheless very entertaining. The animation is though, hands down better (that is a given). The starting couple of episodes are very.. well random because they pull out random concepts into a series where the characters are JUST basketball players and not supermen.

Due to that I did ... drop it at episode 15. The games espeically had not even nearly as much tension and drama as Slamdunk and the unusual concepts and shots were too much. A lot of things about it were bad and the story had a lot of flaws. Why Kuroko decides to help Kagami become the best in the world is beyond the logic of me or anyone else on this planet. Not to mention, the character interactions were very bland and basic. But I decided to stick with it for a bit more and after Daiki came in it started to become better.

All in all, if you have already read (the manga is better than the anime) Slamdunk then you might find this to be bad but if you haven't then this is a series you will very much enjoy.

ONE PIECE !! Words cannot describe how much this has affected me and how much I love it. I am editing this review because I feel like I haven't wrote even NEARLY enough for my personal favorite anime. If you think I didn't watch enough animes to make that statement well no. I have watched quite a lot.

I hope this review encourages you to watch it. And for anyone who thinks it's childish I can just give you one Youtube video that will clear it all up. It's called 'One Piece in 10 minutes' and its my favorite Youtube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMa3868D41k

The story and plot ... start off basic (just a guy becoming the best of the kind aka pirate king) you can't deny that but as it builds up it's really one of the most fascinating, epic, interesting, creative things i've ever seen so a 10 there.

Music wise I STRONGLY believe it has the best music along with Naruto (both) closely beating Pokemon, Fairy Tail and Bleach's music. Openings and endings (it stops having them after a while) are perfect. So definite 10 there.And if you don't think so then here another Youtube video.This one 'One piece best osts' and it has all the best one piece osts-

Art is SUPERB. Every island the strawhats visit are SO unique and fun. There's a lot of fun gadgets,weapons, devil fruits and such getting revealed here and there which just adds to the thrilling and pleasureful art. The animation I can't say much about since it's different each arc. My favorite animation though is the animation in Sabaody arc and East Blue Saga (a lot of people hate its animation but I LOVE it. It's very nostalgic). Then there's the extra stuff in the art (I can name a lot) but one example of what i'm talking about- a river with bunny shapes ! Some of the character designs are weird (Hachi, Bon-clay) but still it's unique while some have such awesome (again unique) character designs (Kuma, Moria, 3 Admirals, Doflamingo).

The characters are some of the best i've seen as well. The main characters are Luffy (the MAIN main character you can say) and his pirate crew (who look NOTHING like the stereotypical pirates). They all have such emotional and heart-wrenching flashbacks that you pretty much INSTANTLY start to appreciate them. I myself love the heck out of all the strawhats but you 'might' not think the same. 10 character wise. But the main characters are DEFINITELY not the only reason

Now some extra reasons as to why it's so awesome. There are SO many epic moments that will leave you with epic-gasms the size of Russia, SO many sad moments that will leave you crying your eyeballs off and SO many heart-warming moments which feels like your heart is being warmed up in a sauna and being massaged 24/7. I can keep babbling about them but even when i'm done I would NOT have covered even 1/3 the 'scenes' that make One Piece so amazing.
Not to mention the powers are freaking awesome.The concept of obtaining the power are devil fruits. It's kind of stupid I know, getting powers from eating a fruit but you get used to it. The devil fruit gives you a wide range of powers.From being able to create nets to turning into leopards to turning into someone who can create earthquakes an cause cracks in the air. There's just TOO many!! Plus it has my favorite power of all time - rubber (yes Luffy's devil fruit power). And there are other unique powers too. SMOKE is one.

It's only missing romance. But that's not important partly because we have Sanji. So that's not a flaw AT ALL in my book. So yeah for now I can't think of any flaws with this anime other than say the length and filler which aren't that big to me (I will soon mention why).

Now I will counter the flaws people say it has-

The animation for the beginning is bad. NO it's not. that was made somewhere near the 2000s so OBVIOUSLY the animation back then is not going to be very good. But it has the best animation for back then(my opinion).

Too many FILLERS. I myself do watch SOME fillers. Fillers that I think I might enjoy. One Piece actually has some really awesome fillers though (again my opinion). Anyways fillers are not a problem for me because well I skip them. I type in 'list of One Piece fillers' in Google. Then it's easy to go from there and I know what episodes are filler and that I need to skip.

Too long. Like with all big series there is no RUSH for you to finish watching it (atleast that's what it is for MOST people). It took me 3 months to catch up with it but I took the time (I am busy most of times). An whenever I wasn't busy I marathoned it. An plus I myself like it long. If something's good then wouldn't you want more of it?

If you are not giving it a chance or have watched like 2 episodes and don't like it then watch these episodes- 1-3 (they are not that good but it's just for an introduction to the show), 4, 24, 26, 35 and 36. Then resume from episode 5 once you know you will love the series.

This is the longest review I did but its worth it getting my opinion across about what I believe to be the greatest 'thing' ever. I have more reasons for giving it a 10 but you might not and probably won't relate to them. there may be some reasons here you might disagree with me for but I hope you get the OVERALL message as to why I gave this 10/10.

So keep watching it cause 'it be one of the most fuscinaten things you'll eva see in the deep blue of the sea'. And maybe you'll even think it to be 'the greatest and most fun adventure of your life', just like I do.

Overall rating- Gazillion/10.

Sword Art Online !! Undoubtedly the anime with the most number of mixed reactions from 2012. One of the most controversial series of all time. I will keep this review fairly short but a little lengthy as well.

What do I think of this? Well in my opinion it is not NEARLY as bad as haters claim it to be and not as good as fans praise it to be either. It's ... AVERAGE especially once you mix the flaws and good qualities together.

Yes everything about it I find average (well the animation is stunning but that is to be expected of an anime so new). ... The only thing above average is the fanservice ;D. And I guess it is also very enjoyable (even if the amount of flaws are literally off-the-charts).

Now I will go into what the positive qualities of it are as well as it's flaws. Not to mention what I find about it is 'average'. If you are a hater then just read the flaws and if you are a total fanboy then just read the positive qualities :D.

But before that let me just say that I will NOT do a summary of the story because you can just find that in the main page.

Positive qualities- Sword art online is very enjoyable (barely any moments when I was actually bored) with very fine art (by art I don't necessarily mean animation but more like design and backgrounds and such). Animation is breath-taking and unique. Add those 2 (art and animation) together and you have an anime which is a pleasure to look at (for the most part lol). One other positive attribute/quality is that most of the times the amount of emotion is done just right to give you a special feeling. Plus when there's a desperate situation you can literally really see the desperation in their eyes.

Flaws- Too much fanservice is one. you could have just gave them 2 kissing scenes(one for beginning one for end). Not add the bed scenes, taking clothes off and such bull. Oh and how old are they? 16 (Kirito) and 17 (Asuna) !! And that tentacle scene was also unnecessary. (Don't worry though this anime I don't think is a hentai). And if you want Hentai then there's plenty of other stuff you can watch. Also I find it was overhyped (first episode). They made it seem like it was gonna be such a torture for everyone to be stuck in the game but really it wasn't like that. (Atleast not portrayed like that). The third flaw is the filler episodes. That episode where he got the sword was unnecessary (this isn't too big of a deal and plus I liked it). The final flaw is definitely the premise for the second half. Like the anime is called 'SWORD ART ONLINE' for a reason -.- It ain't Alfheim.

Now the average stuff- Characters are ALL 'meh'. Kirito is no one special (my opinion). He isn't NEARLY as good as a main character as some others (Goku, Luffy, Ed and stuff). But he has a pure/good heart so I do have respect for him. Same goes for Asuna. Music wise there are some osts which are great but really I have heard much better (One piece, Bleach, Pokemon, Fairy Tail, Naruto and stuff). Openings and Endings are fairly good.

Anyways I hope you enjoyed my review.

Finally I would recommend this anime but don't expect it to be the greatest anime ever because MAYBE you will be totally disappointed with it especially if you have your expectations for this set so high.

Naruto Shippuden. One of the most hated series that is super popular. Why is it so hated? No real reason to be honest. Atleast that is what I believe. But don't worry I am not calling anyone who hate it 'morons' or whatever i'm just saying I 'think' it should NOT be as hated as it is. Not even CLOSE. I myself though think that episodes 1-110 aren't THAT good but after that is when it starts to become a 10/10 anime.

I will get on to the why. And don't worry I will not make it too long since I think people won't read it ... all meaning it will all probably go to a big waste of time.

I will not give a summary of the series because you can just read it in the main page or pretty much anywhere else.

OK now I'll say why I gave it a 10. (Scored FILLER-FREE).

Animation (for the most part) gets a 10 and the music gets a 10 too (i also believe EVERYONE should give this a 10 music wise). I believe it has the best music ever along with One Piece CLOSELY beating the music of Pokemon, Bleach and Fairy Tail. The story gets incredible as it progresses and so does the level of enjoyment. Naruto and Sakura become better characters than before but Sasuke declines character wise (that's a given though since he does turn into a heartless villain). All the other characters are as awesome as they were from before (I myself only don't like Ino). The akatsuki are the main villains of the series and in my opinion best villains ever (beating Phantom Troupe and Homunculus by a LITTLE). They have unique special abilities and are VERY fun to watch. And there's Sai, Sasuke's well ... replacement and he is actually not a bad character at all either especially as the story progresses. The action is superb and VERY entertaining and at times you don't know who is going to die (not mentioning names). Sometimes the action is clever too. A lot of strategy is going on in them. So as a result from these things there is too much suspense in it for words. It is unpredictable and VERY suspenseful. They are in such situations at times that you do not know how the problem might get solved.

Now I will counter the negative things it might have/people say it has but some reasons might not be good.

First problem people say it has- Some parts are RIP-OFF from hxh (both). I have watched hunter x hunter 2011 (my 2nd favourite anime if anyone is wondering where it goes in my personal rank) but I do not at all think this series is a ripoff of Hunter X. The whole eye deal is similar. But it is not a copy.More like inspiration. a copy is doing it exactly like it was but the eye deal in Naruto has a different twist and special things added to it. Like i'm pretty sure Kishimoto (the author of Naruto) knows that something this big will be noticed. Why did he do it? Because he knows it's no big deal or that it shouldn't be. And I haven't heard the author of hunter x complaining to him either so yeah Naruto is not a copy of hxh at all. And to anybody who mentions the hunter exam and Chuunin exam rewatch both they are VERY different. The concept (again) might have been taken but the actual content is EXTREMELY different.

Second problem people say it has- FILLERS. I myself do watch SOME fillers. Fillers that I think I might enjoy. Naruto doesn't have too many enjoyable ones but some (Chikara arc for example) are very good (again my opinion). Anyways fillers are not a problem for me because well I skip them. I type in 'list of Naruto (Shippuden in this case) filler' in Google. Then it's easy to go from there and I know what episodes are filler and that I need to skip.

Third problem people say it has- the length. Like with all big series there is no RUSH for you to finish watching it (atleast that's what it is for MOST people). It took me 4 months to catch up with it but I took the time (I am busy most of times).

Anyways I know there might be reasons you will disagree with but I hope you get the OVERALL message as to why I gave this a 10. Action, suspense, great animation, it is almost perfect (for me).
Finally, I hope you enjoyed the review (took me quite a lot of time to do it) and that you give it a chance (especially from episode 110). Before that it is enjoyable but I find from episode 110 it's MIND-BLOWING.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD !!
This is SUCH an underrated anime.
I understand it's for kids but dang.
I watched this and got addicted to it as a kid. SUCH a DANG nostalgic anime.

Lemme explain what this is. K so there's a lot of stuff going on. Kids bullying other kids, disagreements between people and this kid (probably THE greatest kids show character) Hattori always helps them. Since he is a ninja he always thinks of such FUN and CLEVER ways to solve the problem.

Now i don't like it AS much (it's still better than a lot of the animes coming out today) ... but man oh man is this good.
I listened to the theme song and now i'm literally CRYING !!
It doesn't deserve a 10 right now (more like a 8.5) but the nostalgic factor and how much i liked this made this a 10.

TRUST ME YOU WILL LOVE IT. GO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW !! NO MATTER WHAT YOUR AGE.

TORADORA !! Words cannot describe how much I love this anime and how much of ann emotional impact it has left me with. I just HAD to write a review about this anime. This is a very underrated anime. An emotional impact literally bigger than this world. This is also the anime that got me into the school life anime section. I watched Clannad before it and to be honest a lot of it I found was pointless and draggede out and as a result I was a little bored with it and it's one of the most popular school lifes so my first impression ... in this area wasn't very good. (Still a great anime Clannad, After Story was even better).

It's fantastic, brilliant, mind-blowing, surprising, emotional, dramatic and not to mention one of my PERSONAL favourite animes.. no shows of all time surpassing masterpieces such as deathnote and monster even!

A lot of the people might be wondering why. Or how that's possible.

It is so incredibly and unimaginably beautiful and well put together. I have never connected into something like htis. And it's only 25 episodes! The ending of it was simply the best ending in anime for me except for maybe fmab. The part where they talk about 'love' in the end while takasu is running to the room with Taiga in it. Not to mention he has been waiting for her for 1 WHOLE YEAR. And he hasn't broken up with her. That's not the only reason though why I called it beautiful rest assure about that. SO many of the scenes are beautiful too.

It is also dramatic. The drama is not TOO much (YES!!!).It's just the right amount to make you cry your eyes out and not laugh about how stupidly cheesy it is.

The animation is SUPER awesome and after a while gives you a feel of EXTREME nostalgia. The music is very good too. Seriously once i finished it i had such a bond with it that i had to rewatch it!! So nostalgic.

For me it is very relatable too. A lot of troubles do come from love. But still like I mentioned it is kind of very feel-good too. I dont know how but i felt so happy and warm inside after watching it.

It is super entertaining from beginning to end. One of the main things that ruined clannad a little was that it was boring and pointless for a lot of the parts. Not that problem with Toradora. I enjoyed every episode so much. From the occasional comedy to the drama in some episodes to just the dialogue of the very awesome characters.

The characters are SO good. They are funny, smart, crazy, dumb or even stupid. All unique in their own way. I love them all SO much.

IN CONCLUSION, I want more if this anime. I just want to see more of those EXTREMELY awesome toradora characters that i love so much. I dont care if the sequel or even movie or ova won't be as good i just want more kitamura, takasu, inko, ryuji, his mom, taiga, ami and minori.
PLEASE PEOPLE WATCH IT !! Overall i give it a gazillion out of 10.

Well what can I say? This should be much higher.

WHY IS THIS SO LOW?? Like this gets a 10 from me !
Best season of Digimon without a doubt. The art is of course way better than before but not only that surprisingly i find myself giving it a 10 music and character wise!!!
Those two things aren't very nicely done by digimon (the villains are always awesome but this time they were also even better) but man oh man was these things nicely done here.
And for enjoyment i gave it a 10 since i dont think there was one single moment where i was actually bored !!!
The story is typical digimon stuff but still ... they added different twists to make it better than before !!
I didnt make it too long but I hope this encourages people who hate this anime to give it another chance because it is reall the best digimon season.

I love Bleach. One of my favorutie animes of all time wothout a doubt. Like i think 2nd place tied with FMAB and Shippuden. 10 All around (DEFINITELY). I guess the story can get a nine.

I love everything about this. The fillers ruined it people say but i am not that kind of retard. For gods sakes if you think theres too much filler then skip them. Nobody forced you to or any sheez like that.

Anyways yeah characters are awesome and badass, music are awesome, everything about it is awesome and epic.

The openings and endings are okay or meh but some are freaking AWESOME. ... Bleach opening 1 and ending 6 were stuck in my head for a long time and i still love them a whole freaking lot.


* Insert cliche emotional series quote here and then please proceed to tell us who said it because that is exceptionally important *

Yes, this is going to be another review of the slightly controversial but arguably amazing new anime 'Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso' also known by its English name 'A Lie in April' as I feel like the reviewers I have read haven't touched some parts where this show was particularly flawed, or performed worse than it was given credit for as well as on the flip side of the coin, where this show truly excels at and provides an anime experience very different and much more unique especially when compared to the similar types of animes I have seen before it.

This review will not contain spoilers and not contain a detailed summary similar to some reviews I have read. If you however do want a summary, the main page of the anime in this website provides a nice and quick summary about what this show is about. Me personally do not recommend you to read it as to my belief, an anime can only fully be enjoyed when going into it with a 'blind eye' and that is what I will try to visualize with this review. Why I believe despite flaws, this show is a must watch of the season and arguably one of the best of the year.

We have freaking EXTREMELY awesome shows like Cuticle Tantei Inaba and this. Tamako Market, Maou Yuusha and The Unlimited are really good too.
Now why I gave this a 8. I'll keep this short.
The characters are amazing. Their are constantly very funny scenes that will definitely make you laugh. It can be really emotional too.
I enjoyed all 5 eps so far. Will definitely watch more of this amazing anime. It can be a little too cheesy at some parts but the reaction of the characters totally blow it away (almost).
Anyways I highly recommend this to anybody. My little brother even watched it and loves it (he's ... 9). It does have perverted scenes but that's nothing really.
