Ueno-san wa Bukiyou truly stands as a testament to how much you can achieve while having so little.

It is a rather simple anime when compared to other series, we could even go as far call it "primitive" in some aspects, if we really wished to do so; Its artstyle is not the nicest, its quite plain and maybe even somewhat bland. Its animation is not the smoothest, it looks like it was made by amateurs on some episodes. Its runtime is as low as it could get and its plot development is simply not existent; we left the show in the same place we found ...

Aho Girl (Anime) add
Believe it or not, I originally looked down on Aho Girl. I read its premise, watched some clips of it on YouTube, and told myself: "Yeah, this seems like a very dumb comedy with very little tought put into it and, worse still, an infuriatingly stupid protagonist who will make this whole experience insufferable and unfulfilling to watch". And proceeded to avoid this anime like the plague for a few years afterwards.

That was until one day where, for one reason or another, I found myself bored in my room with nothing to do. When suddently, across my mind, the mental image of what I then ...

Did you left School Rumble wanting to see a tad bit more about some secondary characters? A little glimpse into their personalities, what they do on their free time perhabs? Or maybe you just wanted to see the same old main cast members we already know and love getting into new and exciting adventures?

Be it whatever it might be, let me assure you: School Rumble: Ichi Gakki Hoshuu has you covered for what it is worth.

From Lala, the brown-skinned and somewhat temperamental Mexican girl, working in a burger restaurant alongside his long-term rival (altough that relationship might be more one-sided than anything) Ichijou Karen to ...

School Rumble (Anime) add
Before I start this review, let me give you and everybody else interested in watching this show in general a fair warning, because there's a bit of confusion around it and clearing things up could help you a bit when deciding what to expect from this series: School Rumble is NOT a romance anime, and you shouldn't treat it like so.

Sure, there might be some more "spicy" moments between Harima, Tenma, Karasuma or Eri and vice-versa, but School Rumble is first and foremost a comedic series and that takes precedence over any and all romantic development that might present itself. Not to say there are ...

A year or so has gone by since the main events of Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, and Minamikokubaru Daigo is desperately looking for a girlfriend as to not spend alone an incoming local festival the townsfolk is preparing to celebrate. Will he manage to do it? Will he accomplish his goals? Well, certainly no if he keeps constantly pestering the girls and even Ayumu like he does for the duration of this whole special, lol.

On this little extra episode we will get to see Minamikokubaru Daigo trying to hook with pretty much all of the girls of the main series (with the notable exception of ...

Every once in a while, you stumble upon some anime that, while not bringing anything new to the table, makes-up for it by executing its already tried and tested elements in such a flawlessly manner that lefts you feeling like it did. Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi was one of those such animes for me, and has left me with such a good impression I genuinly doubt many series, even those more "innovative" with its concepts will manage to live-up to.

A visual novel adaptation at its core, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi displays many story elements, character tropes and general vibes many other visual novel adaptations feature. ...

A very nice and decent Valentine's Day special who takes place early on the second season of Seitokai no Ichizon and who very easily could pass as a regular episode from the main series.

Yep, that's about it. The summary the synopsis of this entry provides is pretty much accurate; It's Valentine Day and the girls all get chocalate pieces to give to Sugisaki on such a special day, some of them even take the time to prepare the sweet themselves! And yet, for all their efforts into getting a worthy present for their kouhai, the task of actually giving it to him proves to be ...

Seitokai no Ichizon Lv.2 turned out to be an overally more enjoyable experience for me on the grounds that the girls from the School's Student Council didn't behave nearly as hostile or demearing towards Sugisaki as they did on the first season of the aforementioned show.

I guess it could only make sense by that point; after spending such a (relatively) long time working and getting to know him plus seeign just how far he would be willing to go just to make them happy despite not getting (or even expecting) any remuneration for doing so, the girls have finally reached the conclusion Sugisaki genuinly loves ...

I really don't understand the hostility towards this special.

For some reason, Full Moon wo Sagashite: Kawaii Kawaii Daibouken seems to have brought together every hater the base Full Moon anime seems to have as the quality of this special emision isn't actually that different to that of the aforementioned series. From looking a the reviews, one would assume it to be vastly inferior, however. Which is the thing I already mentioned don't understand at the opening of my parragraphs.

And sure, the plot of this episode might not make much sense, all things considered. Should Takuto and Meroko utilized their powers to turn themselves from their ...

Hands down, Full Moon wo Sagashite might be one of the best Shoujo anime I might have seen out there. Maybe even could go as far as nominating it one of the better titles I have ever seen in the whole of the anime medium.

Because seriously, if I had to point at a flaw this series have it would be no doubt how its first episodes feel kinda "rushed" and "badly done" for how a generally complex and emotionally charged story such as this one is (not to say they are necessarly bad, just "less enjoyable", let's say, to overall how good the later half ...
