Here's the quick review of this movie:

Story:
the story pretty much centered around protagonist name Hina who love her senpai and her struggle to confess her love. to be honest, in terms of love story, it's pretty much decent without any complicated stuff/event, and I like that kind of storyline.

Art:
I love the art of this movie. since the duration of movie was not that long, I think they might want to focused a little bit about the art and that's something that I like about it's art.

Sound:
The one thing I really love about this movie is the original soundtrack. I do believe it's the core ... of this anime and I really enjoy the music. Once again, Honeywork's did an good job creating such a wonderful music.

Character:
Like a previous movie, the characters are decent. every single one of them have their own characteristic and they have their own romantic love. It's not great but you can pretty much enjoy their action.

Enjoyment:
I do enjoy this movie. They have a certain event that makes you laugh and sometimes it makes you want to scream at them but overall, it was enjoyable.

Overall:
Suki ni naru is an good movie. I do love their story, I do love their art and I do love their music. for those who want to watch simple love story, maybe you can check this out. Thank you for reading my review.

If I want to describe M3, I will say, it is “everything is dark, mess up and fully depressed” kind of anime, but as you follow through each episode, you will gain some insight about each character. M3 is kind of an anime which focus more about the characters personality, their past event, their personality, their perspective, and their characteristic, which is not many anime didn’t go to this route.

One might say, this anime is dark and depressing which leads for those who watch it will ask themselves to continues watching the series or not. And this is true by the way since I have ... done go through that experience. What can I say, the story has a slow progress and complicated at the start but somehow in the end, the pieces of events eventually connect together.

M3 is an anime which show you each main character’s story as they interact to each other in depressing way and it not just one but many occasion. While they fighting for humanity, you can see conflict between good and bad is not the main point of this series. As you follow the series, you might want to argue about specific main character who got many spotlight such as Akashi, but the other character also do have their impact in main story which is good but in depressing way(again). The character development also has a slow start at first, but you can see the struggle of each main character to support each other even you will have sympathy for antagonist character.
The animation of this is somehow average and I don’t expect high and fluid animation since the focus of the show is not about the fighting scene and character details. But, the series do have a good CGI for the mecha suit especially when they fight the Admonitions. Other than that, it pretty much okay.

The OST has many depressing song in it which is suit with the anime. The arrangement of the soundtrack is also average and not much active since the theme is dark (again). Once again, I didn’t expect Nano to contribute the theme song for the series and that is one of the reason I keep watching it.

Verdict:

M3: Sono Kuroki Tetsu is a good anime with nice dark theme and good character development. Maybe the series is not for anyone since I heard many negative reviews from audience, but I do believe the studio did a good job showing us how they handle the dark theme successfully. If you are a person who can be patient with this genre and story, then this show might be one of your watch list of anime.

What happens when you combine Gen Urobuchi, Sawano Hiroyuki, and Yuki Kajiura in one anime? Well, it will become one hell of ride experience when you try to enjoying the anime in each episode and you will expecting some major plot twist since Gen Urobuchi for his famous plot twister since Fate series, Psycho Pass and etc. Aldnoah Zero also wasn’t an exception when he making this series but, I can tell you, the series wasn’t bad and it has some good points which you might like it.

Aldnoah Zero has some average story but it’s not your average mecha and action genre. You will find ... the series has insert some logical part yet not too reasonable as you enjoying the action pack fighting mecha using science logic. It’s not too complicate like you need to have wiki on your side to watch but, I find it more interesting since I love science especially when MC explain the theory of each attack made by enemy and it makes the battle looks real in terms of logic. Aldnoah Zero also do a decent job telling us story between each side since it’s a tragic war between them and made the story unique and having the impact between middle and the end of story.

What make Aldonah Zero different with any mecha genre that I have seen, is the interaction in each character especially our two main male characters. We can see different aspect and view within these two as they progress with their own story and for the same time developing new characteristic. One is being lack of emotion but very smart with logical thinking to survive in war and one is being too idealistic and very loyal until he can reach his goal. These are two sides in one coin which we as audience need not to make haste judgment in each side which is one of the interesting parts in this series. Other characters also do have some spotlight in each episode which you can see their own perspective being conveyed.

I have nothing to say specifically for animation. In general, studio A-1 Pictures did a good job handling battle animation especially in CGI. You can see each mecha suit has their own unique ability followed by their design which pretty decent for mecha genre. What I like about animation is the gorgeous surrounding or environment of each episode. For example, the buildings, the sky, sea and etc looks beautiful if you watching it thoroughly.

When watching Aldnoah Zero, one will experience the thrilling of action especially in mecha battle and enjoying one of the awesome soundtracks composed by none other than famous Yuki Kajiura for her other masterpiece like Tsubasa Chronicles, and Fate series. Did I also mention Sawano Hiroyuki earlier? Yes my friend, since he was famous with his other project like guilty crown and attack on titan, you will be listening some blowing soundtrack while watching the series. Kalafina also famous for their opening in fate zero joins in to make this series overwhelming with opening song of series and Sawano Hiroyuki for ending song. In my opinion, this is not your everyday ost when two famous composer doing collaboration which is rare and you’ll probably not tired listening it again.

Verdict:
Aldnoah Zero is an anime which its uniqueness is another level compares to other sci-fi anime that I have seen. The action and the character development make your seat uncomfortable in each episode which makes you exciting. The combination of story, ost and the animation makes Aldnoah Zero worth to watch it.

Have you ever thought that you want to have an amazing superpower in your daily like flying through the sky every morning to go to work or school or do not having to paying bill electricity since you have unlimited power of electric in your hand? Well in my case, I do want to have it, heck I’m still doing some chuunibyo-thing although not in extreme ways but, it still fun doing things like that once in a while.

You might expect some crazy powerful superpower or intense battle with super villain in this anime, but in Inou Battle, it turns out to be different ... than other supernatural anime series. You can say this anime is not about defeat some villain or watching boss fight, instead showing us a daily life group of students who has superpowers and try to act like normal person. Despite having the story tells us different perspective about having superpower; the character development also playing a big role as the story progress through in each episode.

Unlike Gatchaman who has a power and responsibility to protect people, Andou and his friends need to hide their power since the powers itself are destructive means more burden than responsibility since they need to get through daily life within and out school. What I like about Inou Battle is not something like seeing some amazing superpower, but to be understand the name or aliases given by Andou since he is chuunibyo and having great sense of naming each of superpowers are one of his forte.

Although our main protagonist does not resemble some other strong characters that we usually see in other generic MC, his other strong points really do show some worthy aspect which saves his friends when they meet some adversaries. Also, the interactions between each character are also one of my favorites in this series. It has some sort of SNAFU-vibe, and some of the scene does portray in real life relationship which you can say, it gives impact that might give you some thinking like episode 7.

In my opinion, Studio Trigger did a decent job for quality of animation. It’s not too extravagant but they keep it in low profile although I do expecting some high quality animation since the theme was supernatural. The OST didn’t have much impact in this series although I kind a like the OP and ED.

Verdict:
Inou Battle is a good anime that has some good genre that you might want to watch. I didn’t expecting it become this good since it not in my main list in Fall 2014, but I’m glad that I have finished it. Also the other strong points are the VA of the series itself. They do have really a great job in portraying in each characters especially Hayami Saori, I can assure you, that’s not your everyday VA doing an amazing job immersing the character itself since you need a lot of experience to become like that. Other than that, you just enjoy some comedy and romantic scene the rest of the series.

What makes heroes? I keep questioning myself as I’m watching and finished the series. Well, the plain answer will be getting a power and protecting people from danger or some evil that come to us. It’s a good answer but, is that what heroes really need to do? Or is that hero’s responsibility to do that job? Of course, you can argue that they have superpower that beyond human capability but to me, even without superpower, we can be heroes.

Gatchaman Crowds/ Gatchaman Crowds Insight totally show me a different perspective view about heroes, what kind of opinion, characteristic and their justice in each main ... character. When I start watching this series, it gives me a vibe like “Mawaru Penguindrum” since they are using symbolic like poem, riddle and arts to express the explanation for viewers.

The story:
At the beginning of the story, the story seems kind of boring since it needs to introduce some new characters and events but eventually lead us to an un-expecting development. When I’m watching the series, I always set my brain into thinking mode since event itself will blow your mind sometimes. What I like about Gatchaman is not about their power, but the relationship between the character and their power since their transformation portray their personality. In my opinion, the story and character development are one of the best traits in the series.

The animation:
To be honest, the animation is not their strong point but I would rather say the animations are pretty decent with a detail of each character, the CGI and the transformation of each character. They really did a good job handling fighting scenes and to make it look more intense.

The OST and music:
Well, the anime are about heroes so of course you would expect a theme of heroes like power rangers, kamen rider, ultraman or something like that. The soundtracks are good to hear and some of them are pretty much intense. The OP of this anime is what makes the anime much more interesting like “Crowds” in Gatchaman Crowds. If you listen carefully, the lyrical is nonsense and too messy like “crowds”, I believe it means to tell us that world of Gatchaman is mixed with story, characters and the event that will become ‘crowds’.

The conclusion:
Gatchaman Crowds/Gatchaman Crowds Insight is one of the anime that makes me do a lot of thinking while watching the series and that makes me really like about it. I do enjoy the series although I need to digest a little bit to fully understand the series, but I can tell you, Gatchaman will try open your mind to make you think a little bit further and shows another different kinds of heroes and what kind of perspective that makes someone as a heroes. Beside all of the thinking, I think you will like the series in terms of their fighting and their character development since they are some events that make you exciting. All of that, I give it, 10/10.

Battle ships with super awesome cool weapon and further that, group of girls who control of it and to top of it, these girls fighting for humanity. Well, it sounds like another cliché anime who’s fighting for the world sake except it using a battle ships but, this movie has some kind of interesting to me. Remind you, this review is totally referred to movie only.

The story:
I’m informed that this movie is a sequel of the anime series. So, you do want to watch the series or the recap movie since you have better understand about the plot and not ended up like me. ... In my opinion, if you intend to do like me, it was okay and the story was not too heavy for me to digest what was going on since they mention so many names, events that appear in prequel series.

Animation:
In terms of animation, the character tends to become like a robot to me since it use CGI but I do like the battle animation between ships. The ships are well drawn and the attack animations are good to me. I say, most of the animations are using CGI and I’m not saying it not well done, but too much of it decrease my motivation.

OST and music:
Well, it has a good soundtrack and since its action battle, you will hear a lot of battle theme. Also, it has good insert music and didn’t expecting artist nano who was sing it. Overall, it was good to hear with nice arrangement.

Verdict:
When I heard it will come to my cinema, I instantly change my plan to go there and I’m asking myself, why the heck I’m watching it since I don’t know what, who, when, how are the storyline. And I say, screw that and just go with it. But I can tell you, it is good since it has good animation, music, characters and important is storyline (of course specifically the movie storyline). Anyway, 8/10.

What if you are an esper? Well, some people would like doing some cool stuff or try to become a hero or “joining the dark side”. Tokyo ESP is about a teenage girl who become an esper and later on become stronger in order to protect people and becoming a hero. When I heard the manga will be animated, I am so freaking happy since I’m a fan of its manga. But, the anime adaption seems fast pace adaptation, and doesn’t follow up its original story although the chronology of time is same, so you would want to read the manga (absolutely, do it!!) from ... the start because the story has a potential to become much more awesome.

The synopsis follows up Rinka, a teenage girl who lives a normal life until she has a power to become an esper. After that, she meets a boy named Azuma and together fights the evil that come disturbing Tokyo. The story seem plain with good versus evil, but as story progress which is focus about Rinka having train to become stronger in each fight she has lost and Azuma with its background story.

The animation seems ok in my opinion, although there is some fight scene which looks like awkward. But, other than that, it was good with the background building, power display animation, and the teleportation scene was awesome to me.

Original soundtrack in this anime was okay, like when they change the music to make the fight scene more impact or when the sad scenes more immerse. Other than that, it was average.

The conclusion, it was good but I do not recommend for those who have read the manga first, because the anime will crush the hype from the manga. For those who don’t read the manga, I do recommend to watch since it will give you a little bit insight about the story, and I still want to recommend reading the manga after watching the anime. For that, I give 8/10, although it was not good enough to satisfy me, it was still good anime adaption.

This review is sum up of three seasons of the anime:

Another mahou shoujo huh? Actually, I’m reluctant to watch it because I’m expecting it become more cute and lyrical and, the truth punch me so hard that I’m watching it like crazy since I have finish it with 3 days. It was seriously amazing show although it was a spin off in fate series but it performs better in terms of magical genre series.

The story focused on Illya who just regular elementary school wishing to become mahou shoujo, but suddenly the magical stick called Ruby granted her wish and the fate has come to this ... girl to collect the class cards and meet circumstances around her. The story seems kind off plain but I can assure that each episode will make your seat uncomfortable. Since this is the spinoff, you might be able to recognize some people like Shirou, Rin and even our protagonist, Illya, and, with other event like class card as you progress through each episode/season.

The animation, what can I say is totally superb and amazing. I don’t really think mahou shoujo genre combined with action-pack non-stop will be a good combo. But, Silver Link did an amazing job to manage the animation especially the fighting scene. Man, that’s one of the best jaw-dropping fighting scene that makes you think, “I’m expecting more blast from magic fighting not with sword clash or fist fight but hey, this is freaking awesome”. To be honest, it was splendid and I can’t get enough of it although you might need to endure some of embarrassing stuff (you know, right?).

Since this is a spin off series, I’m not expecting the most of character didn’t have a lot character development but it turn out I’m wrong. You don’t expecting the series was like other magical girl who beats new villain in each episode/season or takes up entirely season to take the enemy and call it a day. No, in Fate Kaleid Illya, each story has a connection and since it also involve of fate series. So, if some of you who already watch one of fate series, it might not be hard to understand some situation, but, it may be a little bit overwhelm for those who don’t. Don’t worry, just take your time and you will understand the story as it not that much hard to digest.

The OST, well the production did a good job handling the OST especially with battle scene with the hype when watching the fighting scene. The OP and ED are also good to hear as well. It suits well and the arrangements of the songs are corresponding with each season since it will become more serious in each season.

The conclusion, in my opinion, this may be the best of the best among spin off series that I have ever watch. The story, animation, character are all perfectly combined and I’m really enjoying the show. There is no episode that I didn’t laugh, sad or awe and that combo made me to give that 10/10 for this series. I seriously do hope for another seasons and it seems it will come soon. So yeah, I’m really looking forward to it.

Before read, please forgive my grammar and of course my sentence:
Yesterday, I have watched the Love Live the School Idol Movie. To be honest, I don’t know what to review about this movie but I will try to keep it simple as possible.

About the synopsis, I think everyone knows this is sequel to LL season 2 and they are having fun travelling together as they sing and dance as school idol. The story seems to be bland but the implied content there is very strong. I do not want to spoiler it but, you need to watch it to understand so, I just leave it ... here.

For animation, Sunrise really did a good job maintaining their usual animation performance much like previous LL series like dancing and background. For OST, it was pleasant to hear with their singing while dancing, also they included some nice old soundtrack and for me it’s pretty much nostalgic.

Verdict (for movie): For any anime watchers or Love Live fans who has finished LL S1 & S2, I strongly recommended to watch this movie as the answer for those who feel empty after their finished the series like me. You may feel like boring or not-to-awesome like previous series, but there is something that the movie or specifically Muse want to say to you. As always, it’s 10/10 for me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final verdict: So, the movie has end, from what I can view, think and understand about this series. It’s one of the masterpieces in anime industry. I know you might want to say, I’m biased or something like that but to tell you the truth, LL series so far has moved me way better than anime I have done watched. The exciting, the feels, the emotions are really portrayed and it makes you truly immersed with the characters especially Muse member (of course).

I would not recommend for those who have weak-willed or easily to feel depressed because the sad moment can strike you hard but, the cure is out there which is LL movie, so go finish the series as soon as possible and watch the movie. I’m really sad because Muse was disbanded and because of that I cried a lot, depressed and empty-inside but, as Honoka said: “We will see this through the end” and it turns out to be true which the ending was the movie.

I will try to support new incoming school idol “Aquors” but to me Muse still my best school idol and I can’t deny that. Last but not least, I still remember their catchphrase "Muse - A story achieved together" which was true since their first single. Thanks for reading my review and I really appreciated that.
Muse….music….START!!!!

Ok,so I have done watching LL S2 and I have two words: truly amazing. In terms of school idol, if anyone want's a recommendation, I'm totally recommend Love Live. Amazing,satisfying, the feels, and many more are there in LL.

The anime continue from the first season which is after they save their school from closing. After they know that Love Live tournament will begin, they set their new goal which is to enter and win the tournament since they withdraw from previous LL. I would say, LL S2 really make an impact in terms of story. The balance between story and other character backstory is impaccable ... and that's one of the reason I really like about LL. They know how to focus each character backstory and combine it with main plot.

For animation, I can see some improvement in their choreography, 3D CGI and background scenery/building. The synchronization between them in dancing makes the CGI looks nice and satisfying. For music and OST, awesome, nuff said. The songs including OP and ED keeps getting better including their performance in dancing. Goosebump? Yeah, LL S2 also gives you more goosebump and jaw dropping performance when they start their concert.

Verdict: So, what can I say about Love Live School Idol Project S2 is the anime really did a good job showing me about school idol. Maybe not in reality or not as good as other school idol anime such as Idolmaster but LL totally makes me want to see them perform again altough they can't(you will know if you watch it). Also, prepare some tissues or pillow since ninja onion will come not once but twice(maybe thrice) when you watch it(again,you will know if you watch). From season 1 to season 2, from 3 members to 9 members, their jokes never cease to amuse me and their smile,laugh and sad moments always makes me happy and cry(man tears you know). Last but not least, thank you who create this, it was an amazing ride with tears and joy. Not many anime that makes me throb after finishing the series but LL already did that to me. For that, I give them 11/10. "Muse - A story achieved together".
