Just really, really creepy. If having your mind crawled on by spiders is what you're into, go for it. But with terrible art, terrible voice acting, two plain and stereotypical characters, and a terrible story (was there even a story?), the four-minute-long anime (can it be called an anime?) was almost unwatchable. I counted the seconds.

The best part about this anime? It was only four minutes long. Seriously, I hated it.

Romeo X Juliet- Not to be confused with Romeo and Juliet, of course. It was a good anime... in its own way. However, if you are looking for the perfect anime adaptation, you will be sorely disappointed. The only striking similarity between the two is the names. Having said that, I did enjoy this anime. It was a touching love story. Here come the numbers-

Story-6 (Fair)
Good, quite fast-paced in the beginning. Exciting, even. But then came the middle... it became so boring that I quit watching for a while, and valiantly returned some time later, to find that at the ... end the pace picked up again. But it some points it seemed very random. Not all ends were tied up. So it was decent, but nothing great.

Art- 6 (Fair)
I personally liked the art. However, I am not an artist. My sister, who is, says that the art was painful to her.I thought that the animation style was inconsistent. But they had great backgrounds, like in the fields of flowers. So I gave it a 6.

Sound- 8 (Very Good)
The opener was really great. I loved it. The rest of the music is... forgettable. But I loved the opener so much that I found it to be quite redeeming in the score for music.

Character-5 (Mediocre)
Slightly cliche. The tragic heroine, the brave hero, the evil tyrant, etc., etc. But there were some good side characters whom I really liked. Side characters make a series, and I personally liked the side characters more than the main ones. The main characters were very weak.

Enjoyment-7 (Good)
Yeah, I enjoyed it. It was my first romance anime. It was nice. Nothing great, though.

Overall-7 (Good)
It was pretty good, actually. The end was confusing- they didn't tie up many of the ends. I was slightly disappointed with how loosely interpreted the storyline was from Shakespeare's version. But I did like it.

So, in short, it was a decent anime. I liked it well enough. It was worth watching, but I wouldn't watch it again or buy it. A nice love story.

I don't like long-winded reviews that are impossible to read because they go on forever, so I'm going to try and make this short and sweet.

At first, Skip Beat seems like an anime with a stupid storyline and shallow, single faced characters. But that impression is quickly proven wrong. It's witty, it's fun, and it's totally engaging. I watched this anime in two days. It was that good. Basically, the main character, Kyoko, gets dumped by her best friend who's a celebrity. Kyoko vows to get revenge by becoming even more famous than her friend. I love this anime because the humor was so great. ... It made me laugh out loud countless times. The characters are easy to love, and easy to hate. You'll find yourself getting mad with Kyoko, embarrassed with Kyoko, and routing for her every step of the way!

And guess what? There's romance, too! (but I wasn't the one who told you). Skip Beat! is a great anime, and everybody should get to enjoy it!

Ouran is an anime for anyone who wants a laugh-out-loud-then-roll-on-the-floor-and-become-unable-to-breathe anime. It's absolutely hilarious! I mean, honestly. It is probably one of the best anime shows ever. It's got romance, drama, sad parts, hilarious parts, and great music. The opener and closer are great, and the rest of the music just suits the anime so well. The characters in Ouran are all complicated, but not in a heavy, dark, I-had-a-sucky-childhood way. They keep the plot going and the anime moving along. The art is also very well done.

So, to keep it short, Ouran is a HILARIOUS must-watch anime. No excuses. Go watch it!
