Animegataris

After dreaming about an anime she used to watch as a child, Minoa Asagaya could not forget a particularly memorable scene. However, despite her best efforts, she cannot recall the name of the show. Due to this, Minoa asks for help from her fellow classmates at Sakaneko High School. Her conversation is overheard by Arisu Kamiigusa, the most popular and wealthy girl in class who is also a hardcore otaku. Yet even with her vast knowledge, Arisu does not recognize the show.

After discovering that there isn't an anime club at their school, Minoa and Arisu create the Anime Research Club, as they may obtain the answer to Minoa's mystery if they gather people who share the same interest. Thus, Minoa is exposed to a bizarre new world—the world of anime!

This anime truly surprised me in a way I never imagined it could.

An anime about an anime club that references various anime and, on top of that, critiques anime productions in general? This anime is a gem!!

It was very interesting to watch what seemed to be just an anime about students talking about anime turn into well-crafted critiques of the entire artistic production scene that anime propose. The challenges of producing an anime, the horrendous working conditions that animators face, often staying up all night to deliver something well-done, which in the end gets canceled after the first episode because it's heavily criticized for being ... off-tone?

This anime managed to surprise me a lot.

The eleventh episode is one of the most fantastic episodes I've ever seen in terms of script and direction. It's an incredible fourth wall break that left me extremely shocked and happy when I watched it.

This anime was really great.

Esse anime realmente me surpreendeu de uma forma que nunca imaginei que poderia.


Um anime sobre um clube de animes que faz referência a diversos animes e ainda por cima, faz críticas às produções de animes em geral? Esse anime é uma pérola!!

Foi muito interessante assistir o que parecia ser somente um anime sobre alunos conversando sobre animes, se tornar em críticas muito bem elaboradas para todo o cenário de produção artística que os animes propõem. As dificuldades de se produzir um anime, as condições horríveis de trabalho que os animadores enfrentam, e muitas vezes ficam noites sem dormir para entregar algo bem feito, que no fim é cancelado no primeiro episódio por ser extremamente criticado por ficar fora do tom?

Esse anime conseguiu me surpreender muito

o décimo primeiro episódio é um dos episódios mais fantásticos que já assisti em relação a roteiro e direção, é uma quebra da quarta parede feita de forma incrível, que me deixou extremamente chocado e feliz quando assisti

esse anime foi muito bom

Mixed Feelings

Animegataris is a story about anime in the literal sense of the word, it is an interesting take in how a comunity or a club of anime fans can behave and conduct themselves in a way that can let them share the things they enjoy the most and although it isn't the best try at the take of anime in a show it is still deserving of being watched.

The story centers around a girl called Asagaya, Minoa who becomes an anime rookie and makes an anime club along with Kamiigusa Arisu, Kouenji Miko, Mushasisakai Kai and Aoyama Erika. They face the difficulties of having a ... club and especially one dedicated to something as attention seeker as anime, they have the experience they haven't had yet and truly do their best to make the anime club something worth remembering.

It has some flaws that Derailed the quality of the series and that prevented it from fully reaching it's potential. The lack of romance isn't something necessarily bad but the way they managed some characters and how they got in certain incidents that made the series have some unnecesary fanservice really derailed the experience, this series isn't an ecchi so i didn't really saw the point of having fanservice in it because it didn't made sense in the story.

The music could have been better mainly because they weren't creative enough and the show could have had some of the most creative and funny music of any anime mainly because of the story presented in it.

The art was nice, i liked the character's design and especially the desig of minoa was cute and thoughtful. The animation was solid through the entire run of the series, it had some episodes better animated than others but overall it was solid having no real downsides. The use of colours and a vast variety of them gave the series a colourful essence that made it able to have a warm atmosphere.

I enjoyed it but didn't found it memorable and didn't thought about it more than two seconds after finishing it, it was a nice but not so accurate attempt of depicting the duty of an anime club and it's different misadventures.

This Anime was great at first. Cool characters, fun references, great music.
It was just a bunch of Otakus doing Otaku stuff.

Then we get into the whole "anime is becoming real in the real world" episodes. Did they run out of ideas so they changed the series completely?

They also made the student council so unlikeable it made the story even more annoying...


I have mixed feelings at this point...
Regarding the voice acting, you could tell most of them tried their best.
... The animation is clean and some of the characters are unique.

Overall I don't recommend watching the anime for the story, you would be better off listening to the opening instead.
