I dropped Anitore! but then after a while I continued to watch it, now the real question is why? How can I review something like this? Im gonna say this now, at first glance, I thought this show was going to be at least entertaining, sure it's just about girls exercising but there is more possibilities that can still happen, character interaction, but nope, I was wrong, WAY wrong!
Unless you want to look at innocent girls exercising don't even try to watch this show, now.. let's see what Season 2 has to offer... oh god help me~

No review for this? Going to review this now.
Never seen Himouto! Umaru-chan first? Then this will be weird. Himouto! Umaru-chanS is a series of shorts that manages to tell a pretty good story in the amount of time, sure it's kind of rushed but it is a two minute short after all. Anyway, in these amount of "shorts" every girl in Umaru-chan! has a chibi sprite as Ebina, Umaru, Kirie and Sylphinford venture off into a different universe learning different tasks as random stuff happens, like a zombie invasion. Sure it's random but it's well paced unlike other shorts ... I've seen, it doesn't drag on and on about the same thing, it doesn't feel like it's going on forever. The story, art and voice cast are all amazing like the series it is from and it doesn't feel like a different thing from Himouto! Umaru-chan!
Now that the good things are out of the way, let's talk about the girls. Ebina, Umaru, Kirie and Sylphinford don't honestly feel like they were from Umaru-chan. Besides Kirie, Umaru doesn't really balance well with the other characters, she doesn't feel like a best friend or a rival to both Sylphinford and Ebina, honestly, a show just about Kirie and Umaru wouldn't be bad, but when its a show about all the girls, it just seems that the other two are out of place and shouldn't really be there. Also they feel even more dull here then in the series, which you should kind of already expect but they just feel a little more boring then normal, which a shame.
If you're bored one day, watch all of these shorts where we see the characters be themselves without Taihei in the way? Watch these shorts, you will be in love with them!

I've seen many reviews of Himouto! Umaru-chan, them either being negative or positive, mostly negative so I thought giving a different taste on the show will give a new perspective to the people who don't really like it. Now, what do I think of Himouto!? I think it's pretty good! It's very entertaining and funny with amazing voices for these types of characters. Now, why do I think it's entertaining? First off, it's about a Mary Sue out in public while at home she is a complete brat. It's not only interesting but very entertaining. The only thing I ... don't really like about this concept is the big brother, [Taihei Doma] all he does is what Umaru wants, which gets kind of boring after a couple episodes and that brings the story down. Why doesn't Taihei do anything about it? Sometimes you just want to yell at him for being so dull.
Besides Taihei being dull, the other characters work off of Umaru well, both Ebina, (the red head) Kirie, (the black haired girl) and Sylphinford (the blue hair girl) all act differently to who Umaru is, Ebina being Umaru's best friend, Kirie being the shy girl in the back of the class, who socializes with young kids well [which is Umaru's chibi form,] and Sylphinford, Umaru's rival.
Sure Umaru is a brat but if it's entertaining, funny, with wonderful characters, why does it have to be bad?

This short was made in 2012, and for it being a short about cars it's okay, far from the best thing I have ever watched but calling it bad is a crime, and nobody wants that.

Story [4]: Yeah this story isn't that good, not the worst have I seen, and it kept my entertained throughout the whole short, but looking back, it's not good at all. This show we see our protagonist [Kuniko Kai] with two other people [Koku Ganaha and Makito Kasuya] that want to have the best time of there lives! By chasing a truck? It just seems, weird. That doesn't alone want ... me to watch the show at all, it makes me roll around with how dumb it is.

Art [9]: The animation and art is what makes this short for me, smooth animation and stylish art is how it's done with these types of shows. It also fast paced, fast paced done right until Teekyuu's animation and style. It not only perfects it, it enchants it.

Sound [5]: I don't have much to say, the voice acting average, nothing amazing but nothing that will make your ears bleed, the perfect example of a painfully average voice acting.

Character [5]: These characters do have some sort of personality, but they don't at the same time, it's really hard to explain

Enjoyment & Overall: Despite my complaints, I did enjoy this short, sure it didn't have anything good to offer besides animation, but it's enjoyable, if you want to watch something to keep you entertained or for filler? Watch this!

I wanted to finish the show before reviewing it but I honestly can't watch it anymore, everything about this show either bothers me or annoys me in some way. I will view all 6 sections that MAL has given us and give my thoughts on them.

Sound [8]: Let's just say the good things out of the way first, the voice acting, introduction and ending songs. The voice acting is amazing and the songs they use in the intro and outro are just fantastic, flipping to every episode listening to these fantastic songs are easily the best part of it.

Art [6]: Like the sound of the ... show, the art is amazing to look at, although I still don't like it very much. It does the job of being good to look at but at the same time it doesn't go that far to do anything fantastic, it's just okay.

Story [3]: Now, from here on out, it goes downhill, the story. Learning Types and Cheating Types both clash together to make what 'Cheating Craft' is and what it isn't. Let's just call the learning types the smart ones and the cheating the dumb ones and it's done... right? The story wants to tell us that cheaters get away with taking these tests and I have one tiny question, why doesn't the main character [Shokatsu Mumei or edgelord] ever get punished? He always gets his way, and even if I haven't watched the whole show, he should at least lose one time in the first few episodes so it shows that cheating doesn't solve everything, and yes, I know that this is a show about cheating that isn't meant to be taking seriously, but this show is so one sided that it gets boring.

Characters [2]: Oh boy, edgelord, blue smart girl, love interest and the pervert, ohhhhhh yeah! The best characters ever! I know it's a short series but, really? You don't need characters like these, they are barely enjoyable to watch and they just want me to yell at my screen saying how stupid these characters are. For such lame personalities, it's really hard to say how much I dislike these characters but I'll try my best. Shokatsu Mumei has one goal, and that is to impress a girl, wait... is that not his goal? What about the blue haired girls goal? Oh wait she doesn't have one, or does she? Yes, they both have the same goal, there fathers false imprisonment and they bring it up sometimes but besides that both Mumei and Qiao don't really have motives. What about the other two characters that I consider part of the main character group? Jun is in love with blue haired protagonist [Giao] and does so in such a cringe experience that it's impossible to watch and that's his whole character arc, being in love with a girl that hates him, how lovely. The next character? Bai Jiu Liu who is really only there to be Mumei's motive and even then she isn't used a lot.

Enjoyment [2]

Overall [2]: My advice? Stay away from this short series, there's no reason to watch it at all.

I decided to do a quick review of an anime I dropped, please note I haven't seen all of the episodes or played the games, but I'm sure I have a basic understanding.

Story (4) - An attorney getting clues and defending someone? Sounds, great honestly. I would give it an 8 but, the execution is god awful. It's nothing more then a being mess with no attempts for jokes or character development, it's more of a thing that happened then the characters just move on. They forget about that the next episode.

Art (2) - I love is art style of a video game, but ... that's the only good thing about it. The art can be awkward and still at times that I wish I could look away but I can't then I'm stuck with a headache. Sometimes the animation looks odd as well, like in the opening.

Sound (8) - Easily the best part about this show, the voice actors and actresses do an amazing job on there parts. Listening to the opening and closing of each episode is the best part of each episode. They don't sound grading to the ears! It sounds like effort has been put into them!

Character (1) - Uh... who are these people? The characters in this show are so, boring. It makes each episode go for longer and longer. Mr. Attorney Can't Remember His Real Name Man is the blandest and the most forgettable of them all, at least the other characters seem cool and heck maybe even OKAY but since THIS guy is our main character we have to follow him around and hope he does something another then some random stuff that's ends up working in the end.

Enjoyment (3)

Overall (2) - If you're drink and bored, THEN watch this anime but if you aren't both of those things kindly run away from this monsterpiece of a show.

K-On to me is an odd show, an odd show that stands out to me.

Story (5) - Well, this anime doesn't really have one? It gets side tracked a lot that there is only a clear story for the first few episodes.

Art (9) - I love looking at the environment and the art style this show brings us, I can tell all the characters apart and the backgrounds look clear as day. Same animation can be a bit still and awkward though.

Sound (10) - I watched the dub and the voice actresses did an amazing job. The music in the ... show is actually pretty good, the opening and the ending are highlights for songs you listen to for every episode.

Character (9) - i love seeing these characters interact with people around them, they all are so awkward but loveable at the same time. The main characters work well together and each have there own personalities so they don't feel bland and the same.

Enjoyment (10)

Overall (10) - Even with the all over the place story, I love thiis anime, I normally wouldn't like something with an odd story but with characters so likeable it's so hard to argue.

**SPOILERS FOR DANGANRONPA: TRIGGER HAPPY HAVOC/ANIMATION, DANGANRONPA 2 GOODBYE DESPAIR, AND DANGANRONPA 3 FUTURE SIDE**

I am a big fan of the Danganronpa series. I was originally going to review Danganronpa The Animation and all the DR3 series, but I had a change of plans. Let's get started with the Kibou-hen review!

Story: [3]
Sadly I can't really say there is a story to this, it just finishes the story that Future Arc left off, which was when Ryouta wanted to spread hope across the world then Naegi is going to stop him. Saying this episode does it well? Yes it does, but I wouldn't consider this a ... story specific to Kibou-hen.

Art: [9]
As per normal the animation is amazing. I can't really say anything about it sadly.

Sound: [10]
Time for amazing voice acting! Heck, I feel like the voice actors have improved, and with the Danganronpa 2 cast + Izuru in the mix, creates with even better voice acting.

Character: [7]
Sadly the only characters that do well are Ryouta and Izuru but some small character developments from Sonia and some other characters are nice and charming. It's also nice to know that all the DR2 characters are alive. Peko with Fuyuhiko is very charming.

Enjoyment [8]

Overall [7]
Sadly I can't really rate this any higher then a seven because of Danganronpa 2 fan service, but compared to Despair Arc and Danganronpa The Animation, this is really good. Besides that nitpick, the only complaint I have is the ending, but besides that, this was an amazing special and is worth a watch

Shelter is a charming 6 minute short music video, this will be a very short and sweet review.

Story [9]:
It's a short story but it's very deep. It's about a girl who creates her world until she remember something when she was a younger girl.

Art [10]:
The art is AMAZING to look at, enough said.

Sound [6]:
If I'm going to be honest, I didn't really enjoy the music in the background, it's OK to listen to I guess, it isn't something I would turn off at the middle of it, it isn't something I would listen to more then once.
...
Character [6]:
It's hard to say for this one, we barely know anything about the two characters besides the bond that they had. The characters could of been way better

Enjoyment [7]

Overall [8]

I would recommend this to people who love a good story

If I'm going to be honest, Pan De Peace! is the most boring thing I have ever seen, I'm going to make this short.

Story [1]:
Bread... if I had to describe this story it's... bread. Just 4 characters eating bread. It's so simple that it would be hard, almost impossible to make it work. Even if it did work, the story is just 4 girls in a bakery talking, then eating bread then it ends.

Art [6]:
I will give this show credit where it is due, the art looks incredibly cute, I honestly love the look of the characters, Aizawa Yuu and Sakura Nao are the ... cutest. The animation looks really nice as well, not the best but okay.

Sound [3]:
Not to say the voice acting is bad or anything, but honestly I found the majority of these characters annoying. I don't know why, the main characters [Tani Minami] voice is the worst out of all of them

Character [2]:
Really bland characters that all like bread. If I need to say more, I can't if I tried hard enough, but I will. Aizawa is the smart one, Nao is the cute one, Fukagawa is the jealous one, and Tani is the bready main character. Never seen such 1d characters in a show before.

Enjoyment [1]

Overall [2]:
Nothing more then bland characters, a lame story, with annoying voice acting with awful character delvopment, I rate Pan de Peace! A 2/10
