The sorty is highly predictable.
The protagonist is whiny to the point of almost unbearable.
Characters are cookie-cutter tropes, get little to no development, instead, we are served a bunch of sides we couldn't care less about (their stories also go nowhere); people doing stuff that made them rather unlikable but somehow we are supposed too feel for them.
The art was OK, even though kind of boring after a while. Too much flash, not enough substance.
The show ends with cheap and undeserved feels in the last episode.
You may perhaps enjoy this anime if you like 'Emo' main characters or perhaps

Death Note

This review is hard to write. Since I only care for the story (in general), for me the anime starts off as a 10 and ends as a 4.
The first dozen or so episodes really are the mind war brilliance people had told me about. They are a 10. However, right around the introduction of a certain blonde character, the show takes a plunge. And it NEVER recovers.

It stays Near the bottom to the VERY end, unfortunately, despite what I had heard about ...

I came back to this having dropped it a year before. I have to admit, it gets better as it goes, but I need to agree with some reviewer (don't remember where) who said that the show tried too much to appeal to everybody.

ef: A Tale of Melodies.

I actually made my account on myanimelist because of this anime. I wanted to share my views after seeing it all.
Having watched Tale of Memories, I went into this one with high expectations. And, unfortunately, was let down. 'Tale of Memories' was the first anime after 'Clannad' to actually move me, both 'Air' and 'Kannon' failing in that department (I only saw the latter two after Clannad, and they felt pale in comparison). However, 'Tale of Melodies', in my opinion, went the wrong way. It OVERLOADS you with stylistyc art and does not deliver on the story. If you split it into two stories, neither ... |
