Prison School (Manga) add
Where do I begin?
Prison school was my first ecchi anime I've watched, as a young teen I considered it a masterpiece of a story. Cut to years later (now), I randomly found out about the manga, the nostalgia.... and to my surprise, 28 volumes of this masterpiece, I thought... (Foreshadowing: Which I deeply regret later) I picked it up as soon as I could and got straight into it.

Let me get this straight, this is the most beautifully drawn manga I've read till date. The details... Must have been really hard work, props to the mangaka. (Foreshadowing: It really hurts to see such potential ...

Preliminary (7/11 eps)
I finished the 7th episode of the series. Here are my thoughts.
First up the ending song, and the soundtrack. I love it.
As for the story, from episode 1-4, I would rate it a 9/10, had high expectations from the story.
Then from 5 unfortunately it goes downhill with an addition of a new character. Suddenly somehow there's crazy accurate "deductions" from little or no clues, when this additional character is involved. There's cringy "mind games" in the form of chess and whatnot.
At this point (Episode 7) I'm a bit disappointed by the story line. Regardless I'll finish it. These kind of settings (terrorism, nuclar bombs, ...

Preliminary (5/12 eps)
I was listening to an auto generated YouTube song playlist and I heard a girl band cover of Tsuki no Bakugekiki by The Blue Hearts. It was a really good cover. When I looked into it, I found out it was from an anime called Rolling Girls. What was more surprising was they did an entire album as a tribute to The Blue Hearts. Just based on these facts, I started watching the anime...............................................
This is the first anime I dropped and broke my no-drop policy.

The only things I appreciate in this show was the poppy artwork, it was visually an 8/10 and the soundtracks & ...

Fun fact I actually started Sing "Yesterday" for Me thinking it was some sort of Beatles reference, I just saw the name and the anime adaption visuals of the characters sitting down together, I didn't read any synopsis's just jumped right into it. Well it wasn't a Beatles reference... but wasn't disappointed.
For a manga, the story had a strong sense of realism, it was an interesting and totally worth my time.

Story: 9/10
The story can be summarized to "figuring out your own feelings". The title signifies how the characters long on the "yesterday", living in the past and lying to themselves. The final outcome of the ...

Mixed Feelings
At first I thought this manga plot had a potential, it could have taken a full-on philosophical thriller route questioning about the value of life and if it is worth living in suffering, but nope it fell flat out average.
Yet there are so many unexplained questions.
It's almost irritating to see such wasted potential, I wish to read a manga with such ideas.

Story: 5/10
As I mentioned earlier, it was flat.

Art: 6/10
Artwork was decent, surprisingly no gore.

Nisekoi (Manga) add
Here's a thought, imagine these characters were the kind that open up, talk and discuss any problems, this manga would hardly last 10 chapters. I honestly have no issues with the continuous "coincidence" of interruptions while you were waiting for that something important that was going to happen. I find it hilarious and it has it's own charm, I read manga for a fun experience.

That being said, Nisekoi was a good read, I especially loved the illustrations, they were drawn beautifully.

Story wise: I would give it a 6/10, yeah it was fair enough.
Art wise: I would love give it 11/10, honestly loved the dedication ...

Ichigo 100% (Manga) add
To me, Ichigo 100% is a masterpiece in spite of the fan-servicing and ecchi elements. From volume 1 - 19, I literally couldn't stop reading.
Props to the writer, Mizuki Kawashita for coming up with a story with such depth and layers of harem.
In the end the it was wholesome and a romantic story, definitely recommend.

Story: (9/10)
There were some unimportant plot holes, you can let it slide. Not all stories are perfect.

Art: (8/10)
Not the best, but definitely conveys the charm.
