Started out quite interesting. Had alot of potential. The art is decent. the ending song is pretty nice. the opening is whacky and doesn't fit the anime but it's okay.
After a few episodes they start doing flashbacks and I was hoping to find out the characters motivations, the backstory, what a delight. well no.

The backstory just makes me hate the characters.
It's interesting in it's own way but just raises more questions than it answers. and the last episode is the most rushed episode i have ever seen ever. it made me facepalm and laugh at how ridiculous it was. Overrall it had ... potential but just kept getting more and more annoying as it went on

little rant coming up, for those who've watched
Maya is completely at fault for everything. why did Mitsuoni turn into a bad guy? we have no idea. why does Aya not return the sword at first.
Throughout half of the entire series I had a look of disgust on my face whenever they showed Maya. and yet she's "portrayed" as a good person. and what is with the incesty vibes
end of rant

Amazing, exciting, awesome, cool
Yeah its a nice anime go watch it

A spoiler free, vague and unprofessional review

good action, little romance, interesting characters, war, little strategy, little emotional
a good anime

A hidden gem of the season, the story starts of pretty quick and is very well formatted. Its very straight forward you dont have to sit there wondering what is going on
I am enjoying the story alot it always keeps you glued as things keep happening.
I will not give away details as i think its best to just jump in with as little expectations as possible. but it is an anime set in ... ...uhmm... periods of long ago. historical anime yes. Angolia tries to invade a small island but it doesnt go smoothly thanks to Mr Battousai i mean Mr hero san. youll know his name when you watch.

the opening song is pretty epic i love it. goes well with the show. very nice.
i am not that much into historical anime or history so i cannot tell you the accuracy of the show or whatever. i dont get an*l about such things. I know some people care alot about that buti have nothing for you. i am enjoying the show. 7 episodes so far i give it 8 ... 9/10

Kyoukai no Rinne is an episodic supernatural comedy which is quite funny and enjoyable if you dont go in with too many expectations

Kyoukai no Rinne follows
Mamiya Sakura (the best Sakura ever), a first year in high school who was spirited away as a little girl and after being saved, she was left with the ability to see ghosts / spirits
and also follows Rokudo Rinne a really broke half human, half shinigami who works hard as a shinigami inorder to get paid but is met with slight mishaps here and there

It very much reminded me of Noragami and Inuyasha but more comedic and not ... at all serious

Story: Fair
Mamiya and Rinne become friends and there is romance elements to the story but Rinne is extremely poor while Mamiya Sakura is not easily amused (nonchalant). She is calm and level headed. The interactions between the two is most of the time very funny.
It is very episodic and I recommend taking break between episodes (dont bingewatch the whole thing at once because it will get annoying)
Each episode brings in a new short story (the narrator explains at beginning) with a little bit of linkage between episodes, like new characters remain but there is little progress if any at all.

Art: Good
The art and animation was okay, it was not amazing or bad but it does its job very well. The characters looked really nice. No complaints there

Sound: Great
I loved the opening and endings. the were absolutely wonderful. They had a relaxing yet upbeat fun feel to them. They did a great job of preparing one for what they are about to watch. just fun. I never skipped any. They were quite enjoyable. Overall the sound on the show was more than great.

Characters: Very good
Many characters are introduced during the show and we get to know their qualities and goals very quickly. Each character and their relationships with one another is very easy to understand. There is an adorable cat, members of Rinnes family, demons, and more.

Enjoyment: 10/10
I really enjoyed watching Kyoukai no Rinne, its a very relaxing and moderately funny show.
it is FAMILY FRIENDLY everybody.
I would have liked if there was more progression but i was happy with what i got nonetheless.
I recommend this to anyone looking for a light hearted relaxing comedy with supernatural and romance elements to it

Overlord is just okay

I feel like people over praise Overlord because its similar to SAO with traits of overpowered MC gets stuck in game but different because it doesnt focus on romance then introduce harem or have almost rape or almost incest
but honestly if you look at it independently Overlord isnt that amazing. People just over exaggerate because of all the bad things it manages to avoid doing

You have this guy who allegedly gets stuck in an MMORPG and has no way to get back to the real world so he gathers information about his new world and (for some reason) tries to find ... if anyone else is stuck in the game also.

Art: Fair
The art was fair, it was not amazing or bad. there was a few fight scenes here and there and they were animated decently.
They also use CG in a few scenes but it actually looked okay

Sound:
I honestly dont remember much of it and i just finished watching it. I skipped most of the opening and ending but i do remember that the opening was kind of good but in the end skippable because it was just okay

Character: Poor
Throughout the 13 episodes of season 1 (plus the first 2 episodes of season 2) we never find out much about this Momonga who is allegedly stuck in the game, and they never show the real world for contrast or show any reason or desire for him to go back to it.
On top of that he is surrounded by NPCs come to life and they have no backstory or relateable motivations. they were programmed to love and worship the MC and that is what they do

Basically its like these are the characters and these are their traits. I felt no attachment to them. Infact if some of them died it would not be a big deal and I think even Momonga wouldnt mind
They are just tools for the story and they are just tools he uses

Overall the characters are not that memorable as characters. you can remember Albedo who was kinda erotic and remember the demon in a suit coz he looked cool but it would be the same if you just saw a poster of them

Story: Fair
The story was kind of interesting as like many stuck in game stories are.
First 2 episodes were kind of just introducing the characters and alleged premise so they are really boring. i actually dropped it for a long time after the uninteresting first 2... but dont stop watching there because things start moving in episode 3
I really feel like overlord would make a great game but as an anime it was lacking something. (i dont want to say passion, emotion or mystery because those sound cliche)

Enjoyment: Good
Overlord is actually really enjoyable like the equivalent of watching someone play a video game

Overral: Fair
Overlord season 1 feels like a simple prologue and it has the capacity to grow into something nice (or maybe its just an advertisement to go buy the light novel)
season 1 is not bad but its not great either. I definitely recommend people to watch it if they have free time or really want a stuck in game anime

This is my very first review
I give Nichijou full 10/10 masterpiece rating
I have watched Nichijou over 4 times and its still awesome

Nichijou is a slice of life gag anime that truly deserved better
There are many reasons why it didnt do well in Japan like it came out at the wrong time after tsunami, high price in bad economy at the time etc etc but lets not get into that

Nichijou's formula can be seen as, It takes everyday life situations and just exaggerates reactions to situations and keeps going to the point where it made me laugh until i cried
Nichijou's comedy isnt crude like ... other shows. It doesnt have sex jokes, vulgar language, ecchi... its just clean fun
The comedy is usually in the actions rather than the words.

On top of being totally hilarious, Nichijou is also light and it fits the slice of life genre well. After watching each episode i walked away feeling refreshed
They usually from time to time take a break from the gags and show these visually appealing scenes with little movement or dialogue

There is a story in Nichijou but its not really the center. its not relied on much and its more of the daily lives of a bunch of enjoyable characters

Final words
I recommend everyone to watch and enjoy Nichijou, not because I told you so, not because a bunch of people on the internet gave it a 10/10 and you must watch it. no. none of that
Watch Nichijou if you want a light hearted comedy with no serious plot
If you just want to laugh and have a good time
