I really liked this show, regardless of what others say. I thought this story was rather unique. It had to do entirely with the economy, and a part of which questioned morals. It touched upon the subject that in order to achieve what you want, in order to reach your goal, sometimes, more often then not, you will have to trample over someone to get there. In this particular case, you would trample over that someones future. The vagueness of this toll becomes apparent throughout the show, as you see just how variant the tolls are between all the people, though they are all
...
futures. I will say though, go into this doing some minor research on how economics works or just have a basic understanding of stocks, inflation, currency, shares, value, and how economies deal with private industry.
Story:
Pretty unique if you ask me. Thats not to say that the characters, but this is the only show that I've seen that deals entirely on the economy and the effects on the character world. It may get confusing in some bits, but even an average joe should make it through the show understanding every concept and just what was being done when. Again, many moral questions are asked to the characters that (at least in one situation) you may find tantilizing. Aside from that, youve got the financial district in this weird otherworldy realm, where money must be made lest the district go bankrupt and...well, youll see.
Art:
Considering the year, and the shows that have been produced in the past, this art is average. Its not the art that makes the story though, so I dont weigh this too heavily in the score. Regardless, it could have been a lot better, but no complaints. I think it was fine as it was.
Sound:
The op and ed were okay. Not particularly exciting nor anything special to take note of. However, i think what got me crazy was the voices and the assurance you got when you heard the whole "micro-mezzo-MACROflation" and the whole "you have gain" or "you are bankrupt" thing. I really liked it, and i think it added extreme effect to what little thrill the fight scenes had.
Characters:
This was by far the pillar that fell short in this show. And when i say fall short, i mean it barely made it off the ground. The characters where cliche and overused, especially the somewhat smart, poor, living-alone, hard-working, caring, but above all weakminded and loveless character, who didnt have the grapes to tell his childhood friend that he likes her (or so is presumed). Its a character used too many times by too many shows. It feels like this character is just jumping around from show to show with a different face but the same story. The character that really jumped and saved this section from like...a 4 was Masakaki. Just watch the show. You'll understand.
Enjoyment/Overall:
I say watch it. Its short, and I think itll be a good watch. I know that this will definitely be a show ill remember for a good while. It wasnt the greatest show in the world but i think that if anything its a better show then half of the crap that is being released today. BS shows like seikon no qwaser, which (because idiots will be idiots) got renewed for a second season are disgusting. There is no story, no plot. just boobs jiggling around for another painful season where, lets face it, if you notice the guy amidst the sea of boobs, ive got some news for you...

Motto: to-LOVE-ru
Finally, the much awaited sequel to a show that hundreds if not thousands demanded have a sequel. Oh, when the OVA came out, that was not enough. The cries of the people rang in the ears of the producers, who then had to oblige. At last: a sequel that’s a sequel. They’ve kept us waiting long enough, right? But wait…is THIS what I’ve been waiting for?
Story:
What story? So far, all it is is a continuation of the first season. Not a sequel. Just an OVA that they named all fancy and stuff. There’re really no plot (at least none seen yet ). At the
...
very least, the first season had a story that it tried to follow, and I say tried because there were so many arcs and so many sub plots that you kind of lost sight of what the point was – it started to look like just a slice of life genre, and you forgot that she was a big important person on Deviluke and that he was her chosen mate and that they were supposed to rule the galaxy. But, it did end on a good note. At least, that’s what I think. I’ve really been looking forward to this second season but so far I am thoroughly disappointed.
Art:
The artistic value went up slightly. I can’t say that it was a big change, but it was enough for you to notice. The only thing that’s slightly bothering me is the lighting issue. I’ve been watching this on animeseason, and every time there’s a panty shot, it’s either covered by light of dark. AND THIS IS PISSING ME OFF. Sure, coincidence that hair is directly over the nipple, fine. But these supposed “glares” on your view come out of freaking nowhere. It’s probably not the producers or directors fault or anything, but this is a dent in the art. Those shots are supposed to be there so that you can see what the character is seeing (sometimes).
Sound:
I’ll update this later, because I have a feeling they’re going to change the ending theme.
Characters:
Lala has become even more bubbly then before. She’s also become sweeter, and the faces she makes are often priceless. All the ladies of the show are back and you can count on the fact that they’re proportions are just as big if not bigger than it was in the first season. You also meet Momo and Nana.
If you read the manga (before all the manga sites got scared of posting it), then you know these characters and you’ll probably be pleasantly surprised by what you’re going to get.
Enjoyment:
So far, through all the fan service and nonsense that they’re throwing at the viewer, I can’t say that I’m not enjoying it. I’m not particularly ecstatic either, and I probably won’t be if I don’t see a plot or focus point soon. Though I like it, all it is so far is fan service. And the update will change the entire outcome of the review depending on whether or not I see a plot or definitive point to the show.
Faults:
You’re probably tired of hearing me say this, but I cannot get over the fact that the show has NO POINT. I’m watching it because I figured it would jump right back to where it left off: what happens with the earth, and what’s going on with Rito and how he’s coping with everything. But, this second series acts almost as if the ending events of the first didn’t matter. Sure, Rito remembers everything, but he doesn’t seem at all affected by it. I’d imagine that he would still be having a hard time accepting the fact that the earth was almost obliterated thanks to him and the fact that he will probably still end up ruling the universe someday if lala stays with him any longer. It just doesn’t follow the personalities that the characters had in the first season.
Overall:
Overall, I just can’t wait for the season to finish. That’s about it. From here on is what will make or break this anime. I’ve pretty much gone through 7 episodes of fan service that should have been in the OVA, and now I’m ready for some more action, and I want a plot.

Kuroshitsuji II
(two stars like this ** means that there is a spoiler coming up, and you should skip to the next set of stars)
And here we come to a sequel. Sequels can be a good thing, if expressed correctly and if it is relevant to the parent story, much like an OVA. And let’s be honest – if a show is THAT good, and it ends in a sort of open ended way, shouldn’t it just stay like that? I mean, I’m pretty sure no one wants to know what happened to Azmaria at the end of Chrono Crusade. And though I used to hope
...
for it, I like the way the Code Geass series ended. You were left with either believing he was dead or alive in some other world. Quite honestly, I think that’s the best kind of ending – one that you’ll remember long after finishing the story. And this sequel is just passable. I preferred the way the first season ended, because it was just at the cataclysm that Ciel dies. Or, it was assumed so. I just don’t like the way it all took off. And sadly, it doesn’t look like they’re done. (I'm grading this according to the MAL number ruling - a six is fair, meaning its not great but it isn't bad either.
Art:
The art hasn’t changed much if at all from the first season. If there was a change, then it was so small I couldn’t even notice it. So I’ll give it the same art score I would’ve given the first season.
Sounds:
Nothing to say about the ending and opening soundtracks. They weren’t overly enjoyable or disappointing, they were just ok. The soundtrack in the show, however, is a different story. The sound track of the second season is just as enjoyable as the soundtrack of the first. Beautiful melodies that mask sorrow or that exempt it all together – that’s the kind of music you can hope to hear from this show.
Story:
To make it simply and clear: There really is no story at the beginning. The first episode brings Ciel back, and then it’s just…“what?” until episode 6. Don’t get me wrong, you enjoy this arc, as you reminisce with old characters, but it all seems irrelevant to the story – and that’s a problem. This, to me, is always what can make any viewer drop an anime. If the show flies way out with an idea or its arc is too long and irrelevant, you gotta wonder why you’re still watching it. I can’t tell you how many shows I was excited to watch, that I ended up dropping because the arcs got too boring and I began to question its relevance. But this is not the case, it was a little over played, yes, but it was enjoyable, and that makes up for it. In the end, the reconciliation of the characters, though late and not very deep, is strong, albeit a little more confusing than it should have been.
Characters:
Ciel and Sebastian are old news. Elizabeth has very obviously taken a liking to Ciel, even more so than is noticeable in the first season. And sadly, you don’t get to see much of her after the first few episodes. And then we get to Alois Trancy. A homoerotic, sadistic **(actually gay, as we see in the first scene)** freak. **People may argue that he was forced into it, but he doesn’t seem at all deeply affected by it. Almost like it just doesn’t bother him.** He is utterly disgusting and despicable to say the least. It’s not because he’s gay, but because of the way he acts and the way he treats others. His butler, Claude, is another freaky one. When you meet him, you sort of get the feeling he’s like…Sebastian from wal-mart. Like, Sebastian is a nicely polished Lamborghini or BMW, and Claude is just a cheap knock off, like a 90’s era Toyota Corolla, or Dodge Grand Caravan. They just don’t compare. Maybe I’m being a little biased, perhaps because I already know Sebastian from the first season and have seen just how good he is at what he does. And, his humor has upped its ante from the first season – there was one specific part that I couldn’t stop laughing about midway through the series that I had to watch again and again. You also start to wonder what the hell other characters are even doing in the story. And the truth is, you won’t know until you get to episode 5 or whatever, when the story starts to make sense, as they’re all explaining what has happened thus far. In simpler terms, your favorite characters don’t exactly get enough air time this time around. I was honestly hoping for some more bonding with Lizzy. But that was shot.
Enjoyment:
While I still wouldn’t exactly categorize this show as pure fan service or maybe even partly fan service, it does deliver a lot of what you’re hoping to see. Not because its eye candy, although that is sometimes the case, but because it relates to the story, or helps set up a premise to the next or future setting. I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Even though the first few episodes you’re confused to no end, the last few episodes stick to the main plot and the point it is trying to get across is received clearly. Though, the ending was probably a disappointment simply because it ended, and made you think that the story could honestly have just not even started if it was going to end the way it did. **With Sebastian being trapped into eternal loyalty.**
Faults:
I think the series was a great piece of work, but to be perfectly honest, it almost seems like the creators tried to make something out of nothing. I think that they wanted another season, and to make it possible, they brought Ciel back. He was dead at the end of the first season, and it should have just ended there. If the production team had wanted to do more work, they could’ve just chosen to do an entirely new series. I wanted to watch this sequel because I assumed it would ONLY be based on Alois Trancy and his butler. **Now, however, they’re both dead.** And it only seems like it’ll get worse, as word of a possible 3rd season is going around.
Overall:
This being a direct sequel, you are obligated to watch the first season in order to get this one. I honestly thought this was going to be a standalone show with just Alois, but that was wrong. Way wrong. Anywho, it was a great watch. I have personally been getting pretty bored with all the new anime coming out this season, as they are either too cliché or they haven’t finished (I had a bad experience waiting for Bakemonogatari to finish, since I started watching it a week before the last episode was supposed to come out, only to find out that the last episode was going to be coming out HALF A DAMN YEAR LATER). I’ve started to watch MM! and the new To-LOVE-ru, and hope to finish them soon to write a review.

Seitokai Yakuindomo
This one is a little hard to wrap my mind around. Don’t get me wrong – I was laughing like a damn maniac every episode because the things they say, or the puns they make, or the irony of the situation is just too hilarious. This anime really did make me laugh like no other one has. The only problem really is their way of doing so: sex jokes. That’s right, of every element known to man that has any comedic value sex jokes was the way they decided to go. And you know what? It was not even half bad. I'd recommend it
...
to anyone who wants to have a good laugh. But be warned: it may be a little uncomfortable if you can't handle it. Nonetheless, its a great show. Just fantastic.
Story:
The story is very simple: boy goes to school, gets stopped by student official, is forced into joining their club, and then becomes very good friends with all the new people of the club. So essentially, he goes to school, is tagged for wearing his uniform in a sloppy manner, and then is forced into the club (in this case, the student council). Except you get much more than you thought you would. Of the three girls, Shino Amakuza is the perverted but exceptionally smart president. Aria Shichijou is the beautiful, rich ditzy girl who spaces out almost all the time, but she IS second best at school behind the president. Suzu Hagimura is super smart, the genius of the school, but is barely standing at 4 feet tall. Maybe even less. You can’t help but love the blend of characters.
Art:
This was probably the biggest flaw, as it was a big factor in why this series didn’t get a higher score. The animation was good. But that’s all. It was good. There where some parts where if you freeze frame, you see a grotesque image of facial features (nose, mouth, eyes) too far to the left, or too close together, or too far down. But when they move, it all goes back. So all in all, the animation is not bad. But I definitely think that the producers could’ve put more thought into it.
Sounds:
Ahh. The entrance was just great. Even from the first episode, the intro was very fun and childish and it just wasn’t as serious as the intro’s of most of the anime that I’ve been watching. So it was a nostalgic feeling I got from hearing the intro. And at just over a minute long, its worth it. I recommend you watch it at least once. But I gotta tell you, I watched it every chance I could.
Characters:
This is probably the best part. The characters are wayyyyy wacky, and I just couldn’t get over it. The inner machination of their minds is a complete mystery. You can’t say you like the rain, because then one says that it nicely camouflages the sound of masturbating. You can’t say you like it either, because then the other would say that you can’t safely masturbate because the rain makes it hard to hear who is approaching you. Odd? Yes. And the poor guy just cant win. What’s good is that they’re in groups. You’ve got the President and Shichijou being the perverted weirdos, and you’ve got Tsuda and Hagimura who are always combating what they say and attempting to keep the norm. They honestly all made even the perverted uncomfortable stuff watchful. I can’t tell you how hard these characters made me laugh. Schichijou is so damn adorable, because she’s rich, and thus, clueless. Not to say all people are clueless, but when you’re spacing out on the stairs for a few good minutes, then come to the realization that the school doesn’t have escalators like you’re accustomed to – yeah, that persons pretty much an idiot. The first time I saw her space out I was laughing hysterically and had to re-watch it about 5 times. I’m not a big fan of anything over ecchi unless I’m prepared for it or unless it is relevant to the story. In this case, it was relevant to the personality of the characters. They made it truly enjoyable.
Enjoyment:
I can’t tell you just how much I enjoyed this show. This show is seriously the first time I started laughing like a damn maniac. I felt like such an idiot, but I couldn’t stop. It was definitely one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. I honestly loved it. This is seriously recommended to someone who is MATURE. Not an age rank, but someone who can handle the amount of perverseness in here. If you’re uncomfortable with vibes or sexual innuendos, then turn away. It’s funny, but you need to be mature enough to get the jokes and know what’s meant to be funny and what isn’t.
Flaws:
The only flaw is the main plot for mostly everything: ecchi. Every episode has a perverted character in it. I’m not a huge fan of pervertedness, and so I didn’t really like the premise for the jokes, but it wasn’t all that bad. All in all, it’s a great show, recommended for anyone who wants to have a good laugh.

I honestly couldn’t be any happier with this one. It was a great show that I just absolutely had to finish in a day. The need to know what was going to happen next was overwhelming. I didn’t want to stop watching it for a minute, because I was so interested in what would happen. Now true, the story is a very simple one: zombie apocalypse, find your friends who are coincidentally big breasted and love you, get out and find your family. It’s what is expected when there’s a zombie apocalypse, right? But it’s made much more interesting then that when you get to
...
meet the eccentric and weird characters. Though most other zombie anime made the genre boring, this one was different. It was about blood and gore AND the relationships between the characters (though the latter is less defined). Other zombie anime, sadly, are all about the mushy love/romance that flourishes from the desperation of the situation. Again, it makes the setting seem irrelevant and like it could just as easily be a space centered anime and it could still work perfectly fine. But this, High School of the Dead, was great. Just about everything was important and relevant to the story.
Story:
While zombie and horror anime may not be anything new, it is on the rise. There is a growing demand for these kinds of productions, be they animation or a definitive film (I’m still waiting for 28 Months Later, should it come out). The story in this anime is simple, as I’ve said before. Nothing that you wouldn’t expect out of a zombie apocalypse horror anime. But it’s not that simple. True, most if not the majority of the situations are predictable, and that is a problem, but you’re so focused on the blood and death that may come out of the situation that you don’t stop to realize that there may be a (vague) romantic scene/situation. I will say, however, that the story has some faults of its own, that I will discuss later on.
Art:
The art production value for this anime was THROUGH THE FUCKING ROOF. Not that the characters or people look anything great, but the shots of scenery, and the way they choose to show the surroundings were amazing. The series, as a whole, was not exceptional. But just watch the first episode. You’ll get how much thought and how much work was put into that final scene and throughout the entire episode. I was thoroughly delighted when I saw that. I was assured that the animation values would stay the same throughout, and it did. The zombies look ok, and the characters were all thought out. Their proportions aren’t ridiculous (minus Saeko’s) like in most anime, but I will complain that they used any excuse, ANY excuse to fit in a perverted scene. You’re waiting for some action, and all of a sudden somebody’s shirt is wet and transparent, or they’re jumping out of a truck for dire need to save their life, and you get a very explicit panty shot (and maybe even some garter). The fan service is through the roof also. While I am by no means a fan service fan, it seems as thought the fan service was there just to lighten the mood up a bit. And at a time when all hell breaks loose, sometimes, it’s nice to see some.
Sound:
There wasn’t much I could complain about the sounds. I didn’t particularly like the opening song, and the ending wasn’t much better. Even though I can usually recall the song used in a fight scene from an anime quite well, I don’t even remember there being any. Which is isn’t good. Because that just tells me that the music either didn’t fit the story, wasn’t exciting or at all memorable, or my head is fucked up. Either way, it doesn’t sound good. But, we can look past it.
Characters:
Ahh, the characters. Sure, you’ve got the usual big breasted friends who like the protagonist, a weird otaku, a ditzy over chested teacher, and *SPOILER* a tragic hero *END OF SPOILER*. The teacher is a lovable though childlike teacher. Her mental age is extremely low, and she seems to be very unaware of what’s going on at first. She doesn’t fight – in fact; she’s more of a critic of the fighting. She’s usually just in the background talking. However, she does carry significant information throughout the story. Though, the size of her breast is ridiculous. Too big man. Bigger then the dudes whole head. Even in the real world, its rare for them to be that big. But, the other characters all have their strong points. Saeko is sexy and mature, Rei is adorably helpless just to get attention, Saya is smart in a hot way, and the otaku is just a gun freak lol. The cast compliment each other well, and the relationships that develop between them is evident through out the story – you clearly see who cares for who, and who is accepting of who. But, the story isn’t all about hot babes. The story is about the decisions made in the situations they are put in. Honestly, if you were to be put in these situations, I’m sure you probably would’ve made the same choices they did.
*SPOILER*
What got at me, though, was when it appears that Takagi slept with Saeko. At the end, he says he did it to survive. It’s understandable that to survive, you need all the people in your group to be level headed and stay sane throughout the experience, so that in case you get through it, your friends don’t turn into murderers in it for the thrill of the kill. However, it didn’t sit right with me that he sort of used her. He took advantage of her helplessness, even if he WAS helping her by comfort. Still, I just don’t think it was right of him to say that. But, it’s just a show, so no need to get all worked up over it.
Enjoyment:
I thoroughly enjoyed this anime to the fullest. It always kept my attention, because I was very curious to know how they would react to the deaths of characters they know, or the decisions they would make when they are faced with a heavy situation. They did a good job of not losing the flow of the anime. They didn’t drift episodes that were focused on romance, or gore alone. Every episode had some kind of character development, except maybe that stupid half recap episode.
Overall/Faults:
Overall, it was amazing. The whole story kept me wanting more. And I seriously hope they can get a second season going soon. I think this was a really well received anime that is probably (in my opinion) perhaps the best anime of the 2010 Summer/fall season. My biggest, BIGGEST complaint about this series, however, is that it end SOOOOO open ended that the problem of the story isn’t answered. You know that they are on the way to discover the answer, but you don’t get any more then that. The point was to know if they’re family was ok. You only find the family of a semi-supporting character. Then, when they go to find the rest of the groups families – the anime is over. DONE. Nothing else. What I loved about the ending was the quote. I won’t ruin it for those that haven’t seen it yet, but it is something extremely memorable and fits the show SO perfectly, that had you known the quote, you would have fit it to this show first thing. I’d go so far as to say that this quote DEFINES the show itself. Because though the end of the world is huge, the problems of a group of kids are miniscule. But don’t think for a minute that it’s irrelevant. This show is one for record books.

I couldn’t enjoy the flow of the show, because it was so thoroughly distracting. The show couldn’t make you keep a straight face, because every time you were serious for a battle, you just had to see some twit suckling a nipple. Everything that the producers and writers and developers of the last 30 years have tried to hide, was totally shit on. All the stupid coincidences of leaves blocking certain areas or objects closer to the screen that block a body – even the steam aspect of those ecchi genres made them what they were: ecchi! Quite honestly, that’s the way it was supposed
...
to stay. If you wanted anything more, you could’ve gone to watch some porn somewhere! But this anime was completely outrageous.
Story:
The story was unique, but so poorly played out and depicted, that it brings it all down to mediocre. The unique part being breast milk as a catalyst for power. True, not every show should follow in the EXACT footsteps of the last, but they could have at least stuck to the traditional way of dealing with ecchi shows. I AM a guy, but that doesn’t mean I was looking for porn when watching anime. The whole loli goth thing was attractive enough of an idea, but it was misconstrued with the clash of so many unneeded characters. The whole story can all be summed up in two words: FAN SERVICE.
Art:
The art was good. It is by no means a great animated show, but it isn’t horrible. It’s essentially average animation for an anime. Everything was well enough depicted, and the nudity was ON PAR with most hentai. Anime should rarely be on par with hentai, which is why this is such a huge issue. There are more nipple shots in this show then there are black men in Lisa Lampanelli at any given moment.
Sounds:
Now admittedly, the soundtrack wasn’t bad. The opening wasn’t bad. The ending was ok. That’s about all there was. The rest of the soundtrack was forgettable.
Characters:
This was probably the worst category of them all. You cant get passed the characters self reflections who ask themselves moral questions, only to realize that it didn’t really matter, because it goes right back to the norm (nipple sucking) the next episode. More than that, the dumb bimbo with huge tits isnt even needed, because there is really no point to having her. True, she does play a big role at the end, but the point is that she didn’t HAVE to be dumb as shit. She could’ve been a regular girl. Even a smart girl. And it wouldn’t have mattered. And that’s what urks me. I think that every character should be placed and have a personality/attitude that’s relevant to the entire story. IF the story has a character who could easily be the exact opposite (personality/looks wise) and the story would still work perfectly, then it’s a wasted character, and its value/existence in the show is useless. Another character that pisses me off is the main character himself: Alexander (or Sasha for short for some reason…). Though the majority of his pictures make him look like a hard badass, how he’s played throughout the show is disgusting.
The spoiler runs till the next topic, btw.
*SPOILER*
I know I shouldn’t add a spoiler, but the one part that almost made me drop the series was when he lost his memory and thought he was a girl. I’m not bothered by a cross dressing anime character, but Sasha, being the badass that he is supposed to be, started to turn into a cross dressing feminine b*tch who just made me want to leave the series alone and never even look at the name of the show again.
Enjoyment:
I couldn’t enjoy it. There were so many babes with huge boobs that I couldn’t really pay attention to the story. The only possible enjoyment I got from watching this was the fan service. And that’s what the entire story is. Fan service. Nothing more, nothing less. Actually, a little more. I don’t consider nipple sucking fan service, I consider it hentai. So yeah.
Overall:
Overall, the story could’ve been a lot better. It should’ve played out in a more conservative manner, and it would’ve been better received, and probably could’ve been better sponsored for a second season. But, because of the flashy nature of the show, it was a load of dog shit. The story eventually lost out to the fan service, and by the end, you weren’t looking forward to the next mystery. You were looking forward to the next fight, and by that, I mean you were looking forward to the next time you saw someone suck a boob.

This is my first review, so bear with me.
This anime was easily a great masterpiece. The story is always mysterious and kept you wondering what would happen next. Its a great suspense, and amazing cast of characters helps to tell the story.
Story:
The story is great, and oddly unique. Its episodes that run by parts relating to separate characters isn't the unique part, but the flow of the story is very real. Its a good, realistic flow of events that you wish you got in other anime.
Art:
The art is outstanding. It not top notch or the most amazing animation ever, but the animation fits the story
...
line. For me, the look is half the battle, and though animation doesn't tell the story, it plays a big part in the production as a whole. In this case, the art really helped keep me tuned into the story. I really have no complaints in the art section.
Sound:
The anime could have done more with the soundtrack and all the noises, but i think the little soundtrack that they had in place fit the feeling of the anime. It wasnt overly happy, or overly sad, it was a playfully mysterious soundtrack.
Characters:
The characters are all very diverse and i couldn't be happier. They all complement each other quite well. You've got the guy who never knows whats going on, but is reliable when the time call; the hard headed girl that doesnt wanna show much emotion, but does so only the one she loves; the playful and flirty friend who deep downs wants the protagonist dead but is playing around with him; the lovable little girl who likes to poke fun at people, and the childhood friend who has a crush on the guy. They all develop really well, especially Araragi. His growth is noticeable throughout.
Enjoyment:
Overall, it was a great watch. There couldn't be anything better then a uniquely plotted story with great flow, amazing animation, suspenseful music, likeable characters, and awesome outting.
Faults:
The biggest, BIGGEST fault that made me stop watching this anime for a few months...
WAS THE FINAL EPISODES.
Because they werent aired, you had to wait for them to come out online. But did they any time soon? no. The 13th and 14th did, but the 15th took a long time. So long, that i was able to finish 9 anime shows while i was waiting. By the time it came out and got subbed, i was forced to rewatch the anime just so i could understand what was going on at the end. It was ridiculous. I didnt mind watching it again, but to watch the whole thing ONLY to watch the last episode was a bother. Which is why i wont ever watch another anime again until it is fully done.
