Sora wo Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai (or Munto TV for short), is the "sequel" to Kyoto Animation's original series Munto. Before you wtf and ask yourself wtf happens to the animation throughout the anime please take into consideration that most of the series consists of the recycled original OVAs that were produced a couple of years ago already.
Story: The story revolves around Yumemi, a normal girl who has a secret power in her which allows her to see the world of the magical beings who live in the sky. In that world Munto, the King of the Magical Kingdom, is in a
...
constant struggle in order to save his people from various different crisis who mostly revolves around the world's energy source, the Akuto. Munto seeks Yumemi for help to save both worlds who are in danger. The premise of the story is an interesting one, however lazy writing and a constant problem of leaving plot holes unexplained can leave the viewer confused and disappointed in the story. It is a shame since the story could've felt so much more complete if better explained, and why is it only 9 episodes? extra episodes could've helped get your story pieced together better. Despite all that the story is still rather enjoyable and is definitely not the worst you'll see.
Art: This one is tricky to judge. As previously said the first couple of episodes consists of pretty much copy/pasting scenes from their original OVAs and then just giving it a color adjustment. This is a real letdown since this creates big inconsistencies in the animation as the show progresses. The first 3 episodes are OVA 1, which was produced 6 years ago, which if compared to today's animation it will certainly look inferior. The next 3 episodes are OVA 2, which where made 4 years ago, the animation is greatly improved from the first 3 episodes but the sudden change in styles may not get on people's good sides. The final 3 episodes are completely brand new Kyoto Animation animations and as expected it looks great with very fluid motion, however the sudden changes in art style might not please some people. The end result however was not a bad one and I really did enjoy the visuals for most of the show.
Sound: Something the original OVAs lacked greatly was a good OST, and this anime gives you a rather awesome one. A lot of the scores in the anime sound very impressive and gives a sense of epicness to some of the great action that this anime brings. I was really pleased with this soundtrack and it really made the show much more enjoyable.
Character: Another one of the animes rather weak points were the characters. Aside from Yumemi and Munto the anime just kinda throws characters at you whose roles end up being insignificant in the end. The main villain of the show was not that interesting, and was rather unimpressive to say the least.
Enjoyment: Despite having some issues, I really enjoyed this show, it was quite an interesting thing to see KyoAni tackle a more action oriented show and I was not disappointed by the end result. However it does feel like the production got lazy for reusing 6 year old animation instead of just remaking it from scratch in the beginning.
Overall: Munto TV was a pretty enjoyable show. If you like seeing great action accompanied with good music in a magical/fantasy setting. Then I recommend you check it out.

This is the third and final of my series of reviews for the ARIA animes. My perspective on these reviews are based on how I felt after finishing the show my first time.
All good things come to an end, how sad and true this is. ARIA the ORIGINATION is the third and final season of the series adapted from Kozue Amano's ARIA manga series. And I must say, this season is just something else...its the end of the journey around Neo-Venezia and what an end this is.
Story: It is impossible to understand what an amazing story the series has had unless you have finished watching
...
all the seasons, this season truly makes you appreciate the other seasons more. ARIA the ORIGINATION shows the conclusion of the journey for Akari and her friends in their goal to become full fledged undines. The beginning of the show retains the usual standard of storytelling and qualities that we can expect from the series. Presenting us once again with the daily lives of out undines and the events happening around them. But it is a bit past the halfway mark of this season that ARIA shifts gears and presents us with pure greatness. After being with these great characters for 39 episodes + 1 OVA ,the final set of episodes for ARIA the ORIGINATION presents us with such emotionally powerful scenes time and time again it is almost impossible not to get emotional while watching them. There isn't enough words to describe how incredible the ending for this anime was delivered. This series is just magnificent.
Art: Despite already being very pretty to look at, this final season looks even better, not only in terms of background graphics but there is also significant improvement in the character animations as well. It also helps that this season is presented in 16:9 resolution >_> Overall this is the best looking season hands down.
Sound: Although this season is IMO the weakest of the 3 in terms of soundtracks, it is still one of the best you can hear...the many different songs mixed with the great moments this anime delivers combine perfectly to deliver very powerful scenes. However this season is prob the best one of the 3 in terms of how well the voice actors played their parts. My hat goes off to all the seiyuus for doing such an amazing job (especially Hazuki Erino, marvelous).
Character: This is without a doubt where the anime shines the most. Over the course of series we are introduced and grouped with Akari and her friends Aika and Alice as they train to become professional undines. It is hard to not grow some kind of emotional attachment to these characters after two entire seasons of watching them train and have fun together. We are shown how the characters mature and grow up in order to adapt to the inevitable changes that happens in life. It is using this emotional attachment that ORIGINATION manages to reach into our heart by showing us the end of their journeys and the beginning of new ones to come in spectacular fashion.
Enjoyment: Words cannot describe how incredible this experience was, looking back at when I first started watching season 1 and now, it still feels weird that I have finished this series. You are left with a feeling of satisfaction yet at the same time you dont want it to end. Such is the greatness that I experienced watching this anime and this is the first time I have ever given a full set of 10s for an anime without hesitation.
Overall: ARIA the ORIGINATION is without a doubt one of the few masterpieces out there. It is a beautiful anime in every sense and even if my scores make me look like some kind of fanboy I don't care because this anime and this series as a whole IS THAT GOOD! To those out there who are looking for a relaxing anime that can make you smile at the end of each episode, it can make you laugh and cry as well...look no further, this anime will be a godsend for you.

This will be the first of my series of reviews for the ARIA animes. My perspective on these reviews will be based on how I felt after finishing the season my first time.
ARIA the ANIMATION is the first season of the series adapted from Kozue Amano's AQUA and ARIA manga series. I will say right off the bat that this is not an anime for everyone, for those who cannot stand slow paced, happy and calm slice of life shows this anime IS NOT for you and should turn around now :P
Story: In the year 2301, Mars has been terraformed into a water planet and
...
renamed Aqua. Neo Venezia, an exact replica of the old city of Venice, was build on Aqua. It is there where Mizunashi Akari, a girl that has come from Man-home (formerly called Earth), has arrived in hopes of becoming one of Neo-Venezia's trademark female gondoliers called undines. As a slice of life anime, there is not much of a real ongoing plot going as most of the episodes consists of the day to day life of Akari as she trains under Aria Company with her friends in order to become a full fledged undine. Regardless, each individual episode has a certain charm to it that draws you into the world of Aqua, so its not so bad.
Art: As far as the character art goes, it is nothing incredible, but it is consistent and well animated. The real charm in ARIA's graphics are in the backgrounds and landscapes which resemble the real Venice with incredible accuracy. The sky, the oceans, and the city looks beautiful in this anime and is a real treat to watch.
Sound: This is without a doubt the best aspect of this show, the various instrumental and vocal songs in this show really makes you lose yourself in the world of ARIA and are just very enjoyable to listen to. Some of these songs are so relaxing you might find yourself slowly drift into drowsiness sometimes when watching this show.
Character: Another great aspect of this show are the characters, the six main undines we are introduced all have their own distinctive personalities and they all interact so well with each other that just watching them talk about everyday events is very entertaining to watch. I would describe ach character to you but its better to just experience them yourself to fully enjoy it.
Enjoyment: I'm surprised I managed to watch such a slow paced show yet not feel like I wasted my time. I was on the verge of falling asleep various times watching this yet I did not hate it. There is a certain charm in this show that kept making me come back to it. And im glad i did.
Overall: This is a very good show, however if you decide to watch it I recommend that you DONT marathon this 4-5 episodes at a time. This is an anime meant to be enjoyed at a slower pace over a longer period of time. Watching this show felt like going a tour around a city that both fictional and real. It was a very calming experience and i can definitely say I enjoyed watching it.

Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka is the newest eroge adaptation by TNK, which are more famous for their work in School Days. Oh, another eroge made into an anime...inb4lameharemrite? Thats probably one of the first thoughts what will cross your mind when approaching this title, and to be honest you are not that wrong. If you cannot handle these times of anime, then you might as well give this a pass.
Story: The story is nothing out of the ordinary for this anime, it follows a lot of cliches many animes have done in the past for this genre. The main heroine Katagiri Yuuhi, gets into trouble
...
with some strangers, and gets rescued by the main lead Nagase Junichi. After a series of misunderstandings we learn that Yuuhi is Junichi's fiancee as decided by their parents. And now they must learn to get along while Yuuhi lives with Junichi and his sister Minato.
Art: In terms of art this showed a lot of promise. With interesting and beautiful character designs that look perfect as long as they are still shots, because unfortunately throughout the series there were times where the animators got sloppy and the characters looked distorted and sometimes plain ugly.
Sound: In terms of sound, this is probably where most of the people will get drawn into the show. The voice cast of this anime is just something to make your jaw drop, we have top quality voicing from Kugimiya Rie, Hirano Aya, Hirohashi Ryou, Tanake Rie, Katou Emiri, Inoue Marina, and more playing major roles in this show. And they all portray their characters very well as expected by such good seiyuus. On voice cast alone the sound part would get 10/10 but VA is not all there is to an anime. The actual music used for the anime is rather simple and none really stand out much. So 8/10 is a fair score to give this show.
Character: This is probably both the best and worst part of the anime. The characters are diverse and interesting, and you feel like you wanna learn more about all of them. However the anime only focus on the main heroine Yuuhi most of the time leaving the rest of the cast in the shadows. And then the anime proceeds to throwing away all effort they put in character development with a very disappointing ending. It feels like the anime wasted a great cast of characters.
Enjoyment: I would be lying if I said I didnt enjoy the show somehow. It certainly wasnt that great of an anime, but it had its moments where I honestly had fun watching it. It depends on your tolerance with these types of animes.
Overall: The show was nothing out of the ordinary. A lot of stereotypes and pretty terrible writting and producing turned this anime from something that had a lot of potential into something mediocre with not much to remember. It feels like this show could've been much more that it ended up being, and its a shame that wasnt the case. If you are looking for something that is different from the rest of the shows out there, this show is not for you. If you are looking for a show to waste some time, then by all means go ahead and give this anime a try.

Rosario + Vampire the anime is the adaptation of a manga of the same name, or at least, thats what it was supposed to be.
Story: I'm trying to best not to rip this show apart but bear with me, Tsukune is your unfortunate high-school male who has just been enrolled in a school he doesnt even know when his parents found an admission pass on the ground by accident. Little does he know is that the school is for monsters than hate humans and would prob kill any on sight. It is when he meets Moka, a beautiful girl who in reality is a powerful
...
vampire. What I just wrote was basically what you would get introduced with on the first episode, everything was cool then. As the "story" moved on, I slowly started to get irritated at the EXCESSIVE amount of panty shots this anime had. Now I enjoy fanservice every now and then like any other guy but in this show the fanservice was given to you in large and unnecessary quantities, a girl could be standing doing nothing WITHOUT EVEN WIND BLOWING, but they would still show you her panties for no real reason. I thought this was just another one of those fanservice shows so I didnt really wanted to hate this show for that reason. Around ep 5 I decided to pick up the manga as well since I heard good things about it, it was then when I realized what a mess this anime had become. They turned a good manga with interesting plot and good action, into a fanservice driven anime that had tunned down the action and REALLY changed the storyline just to turn it into an ecchi comedy. Also EVERY episode follows the same old formula, If I could describe a R+V episode it would be as follows:
Tsukune meets Moka
Tsukune meets an antagonist
Tsukune gets in trouble
Moka tries to help
Tsukune accidentally removes Moka's rosary
Vampire Moka beats everyone up
Everything is happy again
This same formula is applies for every episode of this show with exception of the last 2 episodes, which were good on its own right but still managed to butcher the goodness of the manga. If you watch animes to get a good story you wont find it here.
Art: As terrible as the story is, this anime's best feature was its animation. The colours were all great and the animation was fluent everytime. I failed to notice any sign of quality drop throughout the show. I will give this show props for that.
Sound: It wasnt bad, nothing really out of the ordinary. The ED song was really good though....IMO the best part of every episode was the end credits XD
Character: The characters of this anime are likeable, well Tsukune is the typicial guy who tries to help but ends up being helped instead because of its uselessness. Moka's normal form is a contrast to her vampire form as one is sweet and friendly and the other is rough and swift to act. To be honest my only motivation to finish this show was Shirayuki Mizore aka Ice Girl. Voiced by Kugimiya Rie it was nice to see her use a non loli voice and well the character itself IMO is awesome. She could've been the main character :)
Enjoyment: I'll keep this simple, I didnt like this anime. It was hard to finish some episodes and then try my best not to drop it right after. Its safe to say I will not be watching the second season if they havent learned their lesson on this one.
Overall Rosario + Vampire was a rather disappointing show considering how Gonzo had a really good source to work with but decided to ruin it in order to bring ecchi comedy and pointless plot. If you are the type of person who likes this kind of ecchi comedy and mindless fanservice then R+V will be a good show for you to watch and I recommend it for you (also rejoice as a season 2 will be coming). For someone who likes a good story, dont bother, this anime is not worth it.

The third Key adaptation by Kyoto Animation, Clannad. Once again we are reminded of how great these 2 names go together, after giving us Air, and Kanon 2006, Clannad is a really good romance/drama anime that should not be missed by fans of either of the 2 previous shows.
Story: This time around our main male protagonist is Okazaki Tomoya, a high school student with a not so enjoyable past. Throughout the story he will meet the 5 main girl protagonists. Just like Kanon was done, after using the first 4-5 episodes to introduce us to the vast amount of characters in this show a set
...
amount of episodes were designated to completing the arcs of each of the main girls. Now as far as the actual story goes, Clannad is definitely the more comedic one of the 3, there are lots of laughs to be had in this show and as the arcs reach a conclusion Kyoto turns on their famous "tears" mode done so many times before with Air and Kanon and give us scenes that will prob make you cry. I did find that as the show was reaching the final episode the content was going to get rushed, Clannad is way bigger than Kanon and Air were in amount of story so trying to fit it all in 24 episodes was going to be a challenge (yes im including the OVA ep 24). A good example of trying to rush things is shown with 2 of the arcs, they are merged together and then in 1 swift move they are brought to a cold hard stop and conclusion...unfortunately this was done using my 2 fav characters so it really really hurt me :(
Art: By now it is almost fact that Kyoto = amazing animation. This show is no different. The characters look gorgeous, there is barely any scene in the entire show that looks sloppy, the colours are bright and overall this show is great eye candy. 10/10 is almost a default score here.
Sound: As massive as the soundtrack for Clannad is, it is not my favourite. None of the songs really catch my attention but that does not mean that the show sounds bad, in fact its great! The background songs really reflect the atmosphere and they are effectively used to create tear jerking moments or comedic gold moments when needed. The voice actors did a great job too.
Character: This is IMO the best aspect of Clannad. The characters of Clannad are so varied that you can barely see 2 characters with a similar attitude. Our hero Tomoya is a kind hearted person on the inside but he loves playing pranks on people specially his best "friend" Sunohara. Speaking of Sunohara, he is prob one of the most unfortunate persons I've ever seen, almost every scene with him is guaranteed to become comedy gold, but also he can get into some very serious situations. The main girls of Clannad are Nagisa, she is the shy, helpless, no self-steem girl and also the main female protagonist (meh i dont really like her :p). Kotomi is a genius girl that is very naive about real life situations and is bad at socializing with others and making friends. Fuko is the small, weird, girl that does and say things that not anyone would do. Tomoyo is one of the best ones IMO she is a gentle and caring girl but at the same time is able to beat up anyone in school if provoked, teamed with sunohara she gives some great moments. And last we have Kyou Fujibayashi (my fav :P), she is the hot blooded, quick to act tsundere girl or Clannad, and she will protect her younger twin sister Ryou at all costs. If you have seen Lucky Star you would see the extreme resemblance between them and Tsukasa & Kagami lol). More interesting characters to mention are Akio and Sanae, which are Nagisa's parents, Akio is possibly the greatest anime dad in existence lol he likes to say things before thinking of who is around, which mostly end in Sanae crying and running away while he gives chase. Wow i've written so much about the characters, and there are even more i havent mentioned, this is why Clannad has IMO the best characters from all 3 shows.
Enjoyment: I would be lying if I told you I didnt enjoy Clannad, its one of the best shows out there right now. But I was somewhat disappointed at how Tomoyo and Kyou's arcs were treated in the anime. It hurt the score I was planning on giving this show. No more 9.5/10, but you get a nice 9/10
Overall Clannad once again demonstrates that when you put Kyoto and Key together you are bound to get some great anime, with great story and great animation. Its also good to hear that the After Story will be animated because without it Clannad is just not complete...in KyoAni/Key we trust.

H2O has been a really interesting anime to watch, it certainly is a show that you're either going to love, or hate.
Story: The story of this show is really a story that you will either enjoy from the beginning till the end, or start to question what the hell is going on and end up confused. IMO I enjoyed the story from beginning to end, they did have 2 certain episodes which I felt were not really necessary to have (ep 4, ep 8). I will say, I love animes that always gives me shocking moments that make me go OMGWTFWASTHATNOWAI! and H2O certainly give
...
me plenty of those, this show will throw you plot twists or curve balls out of nowhere that will just smack you in the face while you are the least prepared. Some people hated that about the show but I found it really cool. One issue in this anime however is that there are times where a major event gets barely any explanation or it gets a lack of emphasis. Overall if you can overlook some of the plot holes the story gives you will end up enjoying this story.
Art: The art in H2O was nothing spectacular but it was by no means terrible, there were times where there was serious drop in quality but also times where everything looked gorgeous. But for the most part it kept a steady, fluent and nice animation quality that I enjoyed.
Sound: Hmmm nothing really stands out from their soundtrack (although there are some serious piano DUUUUNNNNN moments which makes me lol) but it was not a bad one, I rather enjoyed the ED song a lot.
Character: Ok wow, H2O is an anime that really knows how to make you hate others, you have the main girl Hayami being threated so badly and so inhumanely that you cannot help but just get pissed to all the ones doing harm to her. But in the center of this pot of hate the Grandfather of the Kagura family is probably the most hated anime character I have ever seen (move aside Makoto) by the end of this series you will wanna kill him with all your might. As for the other main characters, Hirose is your typical boy that gets into a chain of events and believes that doing the right thing blah blah blah...Kagura on the other hand I found had quite an interesting story to her and you could not help but feel sympathy for her at times. And for those who havent seen the show yet...I have 1 name that will make your skin crawl....Hamaji, that is all.
Enjoyment: I really enjoyed H2O, the last episodes leading to the final one were nothing short of intensity and heavy plot development. I will say that you better watch out for the last episode for you will WTF to the end of time.
Overall I think H2O is a good watch if you are looking for a romance/drama show that will make you spit your coffee while your drinking it because of what you've just seen, then this show is for you. H2O rocked my soul.

[fanboyism]
Gah this review will prob sound a little biased but I just can't help it because Shakugan no Shana is my second favourtie show EVER >_> but I tried my best to give it a decent review. So please try to read it before knocking down this review lol.
I never really even knew about Shana a couple months ago, the main reason I watched this show was because while browsing wikipedia I saw a pic of Shana and I thought she looked like Konata from LS LOL so I thought why not? In the end I never expected I would find an anime that would
...
hook me so much, this show was perfect for me since it had everything I was looking for in a show at the time. And if it was destiny after I finished watching this season I learned of a second season that had just started ON THE SAME DAY LOL I win :)
Story: The story of this anime was definitely a very interesting and complex one as well, the first episode alone I felt was so packed with info shallowing it all was overwhelming, but I wasn't complaining because since episode one this show struck me and kept me interested till the very end. This story at first I thought was going to include action but after seeing Shana's struggle to try to understand her love of Yuji and the heavy drama elements of this show kicked in, that sealed the deal for me since I had found a perfect balance between my favourite anime elements.
Art: I'm sure everyone will agree when I say the visual highlight of this show is ALWAYS Shana when she is in flame haze mode with her bright red firey hair and her bright red eyes, really pretty to look at ^_^ other than that the show had some pretty decent animation although there were parts where you could see an obvious lack of animation when there were some distorted faces and stuff like that. The visuals were not bad, but they also didnt really overwhelm me. Although there were parts where it really did look great I give it an 8.5/10
Sound: This is IMO one of the show's best features, the background songs played during the more dramatic moments felt perfect and during the battles as well. Hishoku no Sora piano version is one of my favourite pieces to date and every scene where it was played I fell in love with >_>
Character: OK, I'm going to admit if it wasn't for Shana this show would not be on my favourites. Unlike her, all the other charactes where they main of supporting justs did not feel like they were developed enough for me to care about them, Yuji maybe just a little bit. Shana on the other hand I thought was developed perfectly, watching her change from her rude and cold self into a more charing person because of Yuji's influence was REALLY cool to see, her internal struggles caused by her feelings were IMO really touching moments, Yoshida I felt was only good to make Shana realize her feelings and other than that she just pisses me off lol...Shana is what made this show so enjoyable.
Enjoyment: When I finished watching this show I was overwhelmed by how beautiful it was, I felt like I had watched a show that was made for me and knew that It had become a favourite for me. There I go sounding biased >_> but it was a good show no matter how you look at it anyways...
Overall this anime was really something I enjoyed and I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy so I STRONGLY RECOMMEND to give this show a try. And since I am currently watching the second season another review will come soon lol if I was not so biased I would prob give this show a solid 9/10 or 8.5/10 but well I'm a fanboy so I'll give it a perfect 10/10 lol

If I could make my review one word, it would be EPIC
Story: I have really enjoyed the story of Gurren Lagann, I love how it starts in a relatively small scale and it escalated into a conflict to decide the fate of the entire universe, I'm not gonna lie there were times where I thought of DBZ for some reason but this show is really different and it has an amazing way of delivering it. A lot of the episodes in this show felt like last episodes and when a show is able to deliver episodes of such quality you know you are in for
...
the ride of your life. The story of this show deserves nothing but pure 10/10.
Art: I was really drawn by the bright colours and easy going animation that Gurren Lagann had, for some reason the animation kinda reminded me of Digimon and the whole goggled main child protagonist scene so it felt nostalgic at first. The many explosions, attacks, beams, were all really cool and really awesome to watch. This show really knows how to keep a good quality in animation despite all the chaos going on.
Sound: The soundtrack for this show is one of the best I've heard, in many other of my reviews I have mentioned I dont really pay much attention to the BG sounds but in this case their songs were so perfect for the moment and so epic that I just couldn't help but listen to it and think "wow this is just awesome", with many types of insert songs and epic battle music this show gets perfect score for their music.
Character: Gurren Lagann had A LOT of characters but in reality you dont really care much about any of them except the main characters like Simon, Kamina, Yoko, Nia, and yes I'll even add Viral too. Kamina was just LOL to listen to, but IMO the best developed character in this whole show was Viral, he stats off as a villain assassin but through the events of the series he is in the end destined to fight with those who have humiliated him for so long. Simon is also a very good character since he starts off as a coward of sorts but develops into a courageous fighter in the end, I usually dont like characters that are all 100% justice will prevail but in this case they really did a great job on him as well.
Enjoyment: I cannot express how much I've enjoyed watching this show, it was so good I still watch it now when I have nothing else to do. Gurren Lagann is deifnitely of my top 5 shows and will proably stay there for a long time to come.
Overall this show is something that everyone who enjoys their action MUST DEFINITELY watch, it's an adrenaline rush since episode 1 and it's definitely one of the best animes you can watch out there

After all the controversy surrounding this show I just had to sit down and watch this to understand was it was all about, and I must say this show had a lot of good, but also some really messed up things...
Story: So school days is another harem anime involving a main male role and a bunch of girls that love him. Ok that said, I'm gonna say that for some reason the story didnt really appeal to me that much, maybe I'm too used to watching shows that involve some sort of supernatural event because school days felt like one of the most down to
...
earth shows I've seen. The events that lead to the infamous "nice boat" ending seemed all preventable from the beginning, but I guess thats what makes school days such an interesting show.
Art: The animation in school days was very solid and had some very nice colours in it. there really isnt much else to say about this.
Sound: The sound was also decent, I'm sorry I cant really give any more details on it but I just dont have much more to say.
Character: OK, this is what I had the most trouble trying to rate...School Days has some of the most...stupid, no, genius, no...I cannot really decide what to think of the characters, all the events of this anime were preventable yet the main protagonist Makoto is probably the most hated anime character I know, I was thinking on giving this section a 5/10 but after thinking things through I realized that for a show to have made me feel such powerful and strong hatred feelings for a character that isnt even real to begin with, School Days must have done a masterpiece work with their characters. And it is not only Makoto, Sekai IMO was the reason this whole thing event started, Makoto was just retarded enough to make things escalate like they did. I give this section both a 5/10 for giving me characters that piss me off so much and 10/10 for being able to make me express such feelings >_>
Enjoyment: I'm not gonna lie I ended up enjoying the show in the end...actually I specially ended up enjoying the end lol ^_^
Overall School Days is indeed an anime that has a lot of controversy over it but like they say controversy sells and it did in this case, I strongly recommend everyone to watch this show since the opinion of people towards this show are so varied and so many that in the end this review is just another drop in a big bucket of water.
