Bleach

Seen: partially

Last Updated: Nov 14, 2010

10.00 (excellent) The Good: It was really the aesthetic aspect of Bleach that drew me in. Something about the art style seemed more polished and artistic then most anime. I also thought the use of butterflies to represent spirits was a nice touch. The story line in the first episode was enough to make me curious about more. The show quickly makes you care about the characters. It's inevitable that you worry what will happen to Rukia now that Ichigo has her powers. And one can't help but wonder if Ichigo will ever be able to enjoy life like the average teenager with the weight he has choosen to carry on his shoulders. I even fell in love with Ichigo and Rukia's perverted little stuffed animal, Kon. The show really does have a good concept, it's some what of a superhero legend meets a horror story.
The Bad: The creators were definitely not afraid to be shamelessly cheesy. For instance, Ichigo and Rukia exchange introductions as a hollow (the random bad guys of the series) charges towards them. Also, as someone ahead of me mentioned, the show sort of goes down hill after the first 15 episodes. They start adding too many characters and confusing subplots, the story gets frustrating and hard to follow. Also, the try so to hard to make annoying minor characters likable that it might literally make you cringe.

D.N.Angel

Seen: partially

Last Updated: Nov 07, 2010

8.75 (very good) Many anime are based on manga and are usually a mixed bag as far as remaining faithful. However, there are cases like D.N.Angel that take the foundation of an original manga series and turn it into something entirely different. In this case, the results are interesting but nothing worthwhile.
The first half of D.N.Angel is merely good for introductions of characters but nothing else. No great amount of character background is revealed, and there are multiple episodes that are self-contained and could be mixed around without harming the flow at all. In short, it is mostly unentertaining filler and nothing more; most episodes are "Crime of the Week" or Daisuke loitering around school. The building blocks for a plot are in place but are not acted on. However, the introduction of Hio Mio and the second half of the series turns everything around completely. Instead of the usual impotent characters and nonexistent storyline, everything is finally kicked into full gear, and things begin to actually happen. Where it was impossible to actually place this series into any specific genre with the first half, the second half makes it known loud and clear that it is focused on action and romance. A plot surrounding Dark and Krad begins to develop, and information comes out about characters like water from a fountain. So that only took thirteen episodes to get to. It could have been worse.

Fruits Basket

Last Updated: Nov 05, 2010

10.00 (excellent) waah .. very nice story:))
one of the best !

At first glance, Fruits Basket is a very simple anime. Revolving around character and emotional conflict instead of plot and moving with dreamlike slowness, this series moves seamlessly between manic hilarity and heartbreaking drama.

Though the first half follows something of a formula (introducing new characters and delving into their emotional issues), each character is unique, vividly portrayed and highly developed. Easy pacing and extensive back story give the viewer a chance to really emotionally connect with the characters. Amazing performances by the seiyuu and the unique, vibrant art style tie everything together, making each episode something very special.

As the series progresses, the focus of the story narrows to the relationship between the three main characters. Moving and funny, these episodes are inexplicably interrupted by unnecessary filler episodes. Though they provide some humor, these episodes accomplish nothing and would have been better spent expanding the last three episodes. Though there is a little foreshadowing early on, the climax of Fruits Basket comes very suddenly, moving from the slow pacing of previous episodes into rapidly moving, emotional turmoil. While it is riveting and heart-wrenching, the final conflict seems a bit contrived, if only because little time was spent leading up to it.
Despite a few flaws and unanswered questions, Fruits Basket is still clearly an outstanding anime. With its beautiful art and loving characterization, this anime may not appeal to every fan, but the vast majority should be well satisfied.

the love interest will go around Kyo, Toruh and Yuki. The story also revolve around the secret of the Sohmas Family, and the curse. The characters personality are entirely different, and that's makes the story very interesting. It will catch your attention, especially the character of Kyo. It will deeply touch you heart. Also, Toru, her being optimistic is her best asset.
Well, the story deals about friendship, family, the bond and TRUE LOVE. You will learn a lot from this story, thus, your reading will not be useless.

KYO <3 TORU are the best couple :))
love them

10.00 (excellent) Wonderful story. I'm not finished yet in this anime because it's still ongoing..
But so far, the manga is near ti its end.

At first, the story seems so light and shallow, but as the time goes by, you will knew the secrets of the different people there, which will surprise you. The love interest goes around Natsume, Mikan and Ryuka. They are very cute! Also, they're ALICE which refers to their powers also makes the story exciting. This most deal with the history of they're families in they're school which makes a significance in the story, that you will not see easily.

NATSUME <3 MIKAN .
they are cutest couple. They're personality is very opposite, but they are best fitted for each other.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

Seen: first

Last Updated: Nov 14, 2010

8.00 (good) Story - 8

Hitman Reborn is a pretty unique anime in my opinion. There is one major flaw in the story that prevents me from giving it a full 10. The first 20 episodes or so have no real story arc. While each episode is interesting and helps develop the characters it takes way too long for the story to truly begin. But I will say this. The story arc in this anime is top notch. Once you get to episode 20+ you will be watching the episodes one after another after another.

Art - 8

The artwork in Hitman Reborn is decent. The lame underwear morph on every episode for a while is what brings the grade down a bit, but Tsuna begins to look awesome about 25 episodes in, when the underwear morph becomes not so common and is replaced by something else. The other characters are also drawn very well.

Sound - 9

The soundtrack for Hitman Reborn is awesome both opening and ending songs. The japanese voices all fit the characters as well. The only reason sound isn't a 10 is because of Tsuna's voice in underwear mode. It gets so annoying during the few long sequences.

Characters - 10

The Characters are all unique, with a wide range of personalities all following an unlikely protagonist. Quite frankly i'm jealous of Tsuna. Hes got the perfect range of friends all with flaws that fit the characters as well as strong loyalty to him. The characters couldn't be more enjoyalble. (Save for Tsuna in underwear mode) (Lets face it Underwear mode sucks >.> Thankfully it practically disappears entirely once the true story arc starts.)

Enjoyment - 8

Unfortunately Hitman Reborn loses 2 points here because of how long it takes to get rolling. It seriously has much too long of an introduction phase. If I were to rewatch Hitman Reborn I would start around episode 15 or so. That way you can get a memory of the characters before the story starts. You wont miss practically anything and you'll be loving Hitman Reborn from the start.

Overall - 9

Overall Hitman Reborn gets a 9. It truly is an awesome anime that will keep you hungering for more once it gets rolling.

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle

Last Updated: Nov 14, 2010

10.00 (excellent) very interesting story! so nice.
the twists, settings, music, and characters are all perfect :))

Art, Animation and Character Design
The art and animation was good! It wasn't spectacular but it was nearly good enough to compare it to a few anime movies. However, at times, it seemed it dropped in quality but marginally so. Character designs were well done and if you have any recollections of past anime, you might catch a few "known" characters from other well received series. The introduction of our main sidekicks (Kurogane and Fai), and how they get involved was well done.... not to mention, the accompanying background music adds some dramatics.

Music
The OP was excellent! Wow, I loved it. The minute I heard it, I HAD to pick up the OST. Never in my history of anime watching had I literally sat through every episode's opening credits just to listen to this piece. The music throughout the rest of the anime was just top-notch. Very dramatic! It was a mix of opera-ish, epic-like pieces all throughout the episodes.

Series and Episode Story
The opening scene of the first episode had me by a strangle hold! The way the view panned out on a desperate situation between two characters and the dramatic chanting vocals of the music made it breathtaking! Wow!! I just had chills running up my spine. The story... no, this grand epic is what story telling should be measured by. In reality, the core plot itself is pretty strait forward. I mean, our group of heroes has to travel between worlds to recover lost feathers.... simple right? Well, there's more to it than that. What you have are interwoven plots, some great, some small and the way they interact with each other. The idea of having to travel to various worlds in itself was interesting.... and then to add unique characters between worlds on top of that made it even more intesting. The one minor... very minor complaint I have was the fact that some character's backgrounds aren't really explored. But that's such a small price especially when they wouldn't really add to the overall plot. You still end up loving many of the characters and their abilities. By the end of this series, I was almost in tears because I wanted to continue watching.... and waiting for season 2 was more than I could bear. As well, it left so many things open ended that you couldn't help but feel a bit of disappointment. But.... thank god there's season 2.

Overall, a BUY+ for this one. This is one of those that you should make a point to watch.

the BEST ! :))
