There are LOTS of things you can say about School Days, but let me tell you something: You can't say that it didn't piss you off. Seriously.
Story:
------------------
The story is not very special, but it's not extremely bad either, I think. It's about a guy, Itou Makoto, that loves to have sex with almost every freaking girl he meets. And then you've got the two most important girls: Katsura Kotonoha (Your typical shy girl, but I'll talk about her later) and Saionji Sekai (a girl that loves to tease Makoto). Makoto loves Katsura and Sekai tries to make them into a couple. She has success.
...
They become a couple. But that would be boring, right? So the makers thought it would be fun if Sekai would love Makoto too! And yes, nothing good can happen from that point forward. Just when you think Makoto has made his decision he decides to become an annoying sex addict who can't make up his goddamn mind. He's a wuss. A huge wuss.
BUT what bothered me the most is the fact that it seems that Makoto doesn't even think he's cheating. It doesn't seem like he doesn't care about everyone, but he's not dumb either. It's very hard to explain so I suggest you discover what I mean by yourself.
Art:
-------------------
Nothing special about it. It's decent. It seems pretty old, to be honest.
Sound:
--------------------
It's great! The soundtracks really seem to fit the situations. The guitar and the piano are used pretty often and those two are great to form 'the mood'.
Character:
---------------------
Worst characters ever. It's not like I dislike them, they're just so dumb. Every girls 'wants' Makoto so they'll know how 'it's like'. You don't expect it from some of the girls. It's a complete mindfuck. And o god, it pisses you off.
Itou Makoto: ........... biggest asshole ever. He's the very reason why you'll be pissed off every second you watch this anime. He acts dumb without being dumb and it confuses me so much >_< But I already told you about him, didn't I?
Katsura Kotonoha: Like I said; she's shy. Very shy. First she refuses to be touched by Makoto and later on in the anime she will do everything to make Makoto touch her. Also, she'll do everything those mean girls tell her to do. She doesn't really stand up for herself except when people say that she and Makoto broke up. In the end she becomes really creepy, but I won't say in what kind of way. You just don't expect it from her. But o well, Makoto tortured her mentally so it's actually not that strange that her mind got crushed in the end and she acted the way she did.
Saionji Sekai: Makoto and Katsura are a couple because of Sekai. It's her biggest mistake ever. Why? She likes Makoto too for some reason. Anyway, she seems pretty cheerful in the first episodes and she loves to tease Makoto, but Sekai is also a creep (Katsura is creepier though). She's the same as Katsura. Makoto crushes her mind and her heart.
Enjoyment:
-----------------------
The first episodes (not the first one) are pretty boring. Nothing interesting happens and everything seems 'normal'. However, this is not the case.
And this is why I gave the enjoyment an eight. Why? It's how the human brain works. We're interested in all the 'bad things' and in drama. So if a guy keeps cheating and having sex while the two main girls slowly transform into creeps, it's only natural to enjoy it.
Overall:
-----------------------
A 5 because:
- this anime pisses you off
- The story is pretty dumb
- very entertaining later on in the anime
- stupid characters

Let's start with saying that BTOOOM! is very interesting. I prefer the survival genre too so yeah ^^
Story:
Btooom! doesn't have the most original story, but it's not a complete cliche. Just know that it's a typical survival anime, but a little different. On the other hand, you might think it's quite original because the only weapons they use are bombs.
Now about the good stuff: they worked the story out so well. I can't really explain it myself but the anime is almost perfect with the exception of a few things, but I'll tell you about that later.
Art:
Yupp, I gave the art a 10. Why? Well,
...
I just love it. And take a good look at Himiko's face everytime they show it. The way they drew it is very cute but not too much, haha.
Sound:
I loved the opening music, but disliked the ending music. The opening was very much related to the whole anime itself, but the ending was a bit too soft.
The sound itself was good, so here you go.
Character:
This is where it actually gets interesting. The annoying characters get eliminated (IMO...), and the remaining characters are interesting as hell. ESPECIALLY Kira. Seriously. I love that little psycho. He's creepy, he's cute and he has an interesting story. Sakamoto is also pretty interesting and it's cool to see him change. It kinda surprised me that he was so naive and that he liked helping others so much, cause we saw how he acted towards his family and the change was a bit too early, but it's not so much that you'll be bothered, so don't worry.
Himiko's 'change' had a perfect timing. She doesn't trust men for the half of the anime and after that she really starts trusting Sakamoto bit by bit, but she's still a bit scared of men, and that's perfect. She doesn't overdo it, and that satisfied me very much. She stays who she is. And that's with all the characters. Well, not all, but almost everyone. They stay pure and real.
To make a long story short: the characters are very interesting, some have an interesting background and they create interesting fights. They're very realistic.
Enjoyment:
Hell yeah, definitely a 10! Btooom! doesn't fail in entertaining you! It's so nice to watch. I got excited for each episode, haha. Seriously, there's not a SINGLE moment that you'll be bored, I promise.
Overall:
A 9. Cause btooom! isn't perfect, unfortunately :c
Negative points:
- the ending went way too quick. The ending was good, but too hasty. I just hope there will be a second season, but if not I'm definitely not satisfied with the outcome, just because it's too hasty. I expected like 6 more episodes, too be honest. And btooom! isn't necessarily a slowpoke anime, but no, they could've made even 10 more episodes if you ask me!
- A bit more attention for other characters, thank you? For example: Kira. IMO, he was the most interesting character and we only get a short meeting with one little fight and then we only see him once (actually twice, but the ending doesn't count cause they show everyone who's still alive) more? So hasty, seriously. And Oda seems so important at the last few episodes, but except for Sakamoto's past he isn't important. Don't let them fool you.
- Yes, haste. Haste is btooom!'s worst point. They could've shown us more interesting things with the other characters, and not just Sakamoto and Himiko.
Anyway, GREAT anime, but not perfect.

I was excited for this movie! I mean, jeez, a fairy tail movie! I can already tell you a few things: The movie is okay, but disappointing if you watched the anime.
The story is okay, nothing wrong with it. It's not very original but it's just fine so I decided to give it a seven. It doesn't deserve a higher mark though because they didn't work it out like I expected.
I heard people say that the art of fairy tail is terrible. Maybe it could be a bit more modern (I also heard they have a rerun of fairy tail with a new animation team
...
so that's nice) but I personally love the STYLE of the art. You have those animes with a terrible art style. I don't know something out of my head now but it's understandable I guess.
My problem is that it sometimes (and ESPECIALLY in the beginning. Like the first half hour and sometimes at a random moment) seemed like the art style just changed! And that bothered me a lot, so yeah a four.
The sound is excellent. Fairy tail is one of those animes with awesome sound and music. Except for the second opening theme of the anime then.
The characters were a bit different and I'm sorry, but I just don't know how to explain that mkay?
But hey, I always loved the characters of fairy tail and I still do. They could've worked out the main character in this movie a bit more though. So enjoy your seven.
The enjoyment was okay except for in the beginning. The beginning annoyed me a bit, but a seven seems good for this section.
I gave a five for the overall, but a 5.2 or 5.4 would be better cx
One more important thing: The fights were way too short. I'm not expecting them to focus on the fights and make the duration of it forever. This is not the anime so we don't have to focus on the non very important fights, but c'mon. This was just too short. Everything was way too short starting from the middle point. The movie was just too short and that's the most disappointing thing.
SPOILER
But I liked the way Eclair left with Momon and the nalu moment was great! And espescially Lucy's question if magic is evil or good!
