Ok, so I decided that from now on, I'm gonna write my reviews a bit differently. So, I won't give scores for each category, but instead, I'm just gonna talk about my experience with the anime. I find that giving scores does not help people understand as to why I gave it that score as it's a personal thing. Not only that, but I feel like if I focus more on talking about my experience, then you guys will know if the anime is for you or not. So, let me what you guys think: do you like my reviews more in this format or ... did you prefer the old format? Also, I apologize if I haven't posted a review in a while, college can get busy at times. So, now without further ado, let's get into it.

The story Sankarea follows Chihiro Furuya, who is obsessed with zombies; so obsessed with zombies he even wants one as his girlfriend! This hobby becomes somewhat of an obsession as he tries to revive his pet cat Babu. He meets Rea, a girl who is popular and seems to have it all, is not as happy with her life as it would seem. Her wish is to be reborn another person and she might just get her wish after crossing paths with Furuya. Chihiro then has to deal with taking care of her as a zombie.

The story also explores what life is like for Rea who has been resurrected as a zombie such as what she eats, what is it like for her to go outside...The story also goes in-depth as to how all of this changes her.

Going into Sankarea, I found the first episode intriguing. However, I didn't think the first two episodes really got into the core of the story. I honestly found the story to be all over the place throughout the anime. The story hooked me because it was silly, a bit scary at times, fun, and romantic. I also think it managed to juggle all of those elements well. All of those combined together made it fun to watch. There were times where the actual story, and there were times when I felt like there were filler episodes that didn’t add anything to the main story. The anime does not seem to have a clear ending, but the ending is still enjoyable overall but if you're one of those people where you want the anime to have a clear ending and you don't want to interpret the ending for yourself, then the ending may really frustrate you. Despite these issues, I found the story quite enjoyable due to the characters.

What made Sankarea enjoyable is its cast of characters. When I went into the first episode, you didn't really see many characters so I thought the anime was only going to feature Chihiro, Rea (the girl), and Babu (the cat), but as you get further into the series you start to see more, and more characters appear. The other characters you see; however, (except for the villain) are side characters. At first, you see Rea's father, who is really creepy, and is obsessed with his daughter. At first, I really hated him! I thought he really was a creep! And you might get that feeling too when you watch the anime. But, that being said, when you see the last few episodes, you kind of feel sorry for him. I'm not gonna say why as I don't want to spoil too much. You had a character named Ranko that was funny and who would come and beat up Chihiro in a friendly way at times because they're pretty much childhood friends and cousins. Then, you had Chihiro's sister, Mero, who is the quiet type. Pretty much all the side characters (except one side character which I'm not gonna spoil who or why) contribute funny moments to the anime You also get some cute moments between Chihiro and Rea.

The animation is very nicely done. However, an issue I had is there was an episode that had a editing issue or so, it looked like in my opinion. Episode 11, I think, where they show Rea father in the plane. I thought the editing was rushed, and the dialogue seemed to have cut off badly by it. Also in episode 3, they censored a woman’s guts, and I've always believed if you're gonna do gore, then go all out! It frustrated me to see a censor. That being said, I understand why they did it as they're trying to appeal to all viewers.

I thought the voice acting and music was good.

Sankarea isn't for everyone. If you're into zombies, romance, and comedy, then you'll love Sankarea. If you're looking for a spectacular anime that blows you away, Sankarea is not it. I recommend Sankarea if you're just looking for an anime to relax to and enjoy.

Anyways, I want to know what you guys think. If you've watched Sankarea, did you guys enjoy it? If not, would this be a anime you'd watch? Let me know your thoughts!

Story 7/10
So, the stories are like mini-episodes, pretty much like Spongebob Squarepants where you have two episodes in one. They're all good, but there's really nothing spectacular about them. It's about Sakamoto, a high school boy, doing cool stuff.

Each mini-episode is really funny in their own way. But, the stories in themselves aren't spectacular.

Art 10/10
The art is really good. Really don't have much to say here.

Sound 10/10
The soundtrack is very nice and mellow. I don't have much to say here as well.
...
Character 7/10
So depending on the mini-episode you're watching, you get different characters. And the characters are good. I just wished for the characters in the mini-episodes, you get a bit more development from them.

Enjoyment 9/10
I really enjoyed the anime for the great laughs it gave me. Sakamoto desu ga is probably one of the best comedies I have ever seen.

Overall 9/10
This show is awesome! And you can watch it with anyone (even non-anime people). A classmate of mine in senior year of High School asked if we wanted to watch this series with him. And some of us did (including me and my close friends) and boy, we were glad we watched it! We had sooo many great laughs together! I definitely recommend this anime to the whole family or if you have friends over and you just want to watch something great, 'cause Sakamoto is cool, cooler, coolest!

Thanks for reading. Let me know your thoughts on this review and any feedback you may have for me. Until next time!

Story 9/10
Ryuuko Matoi is a girl searching for her father's killer.

(Don't want to spoil the whole story)

The story is alright, but I really liked the story because it was hilarious! That's what makes Kill La Kill special! And the comedy and action scenes just made a simple story look really awesome and it made me thoroughly enjoy the story!

Art 10/10
The art is really colorful very nice. 'Nuff said.

... Sound 10/10
Kill La Kill probably has one of my favorite soundtracks ever! Don't lose your wings or what that song is my favorite. They even did a really good remix of it on Youtube, so really, go check it out when you can.

Character 8/10
The characters are also what Kill La Kill truly special. I really don't want to say much here, 'cause I really want you guys to just experience it for yourself.

Enjoyment 7/10
I really enjoyed Kill La Kill. It's fun to watch and I had such a blast watching it. This show is probably one of my personal favorites.

Overall 9/10
Kill La Kill is a show that you really should give it a try, even though the plot and comedy may look stupid. There's also a hidden gem inside Kill La Kill but I'm really not gonna much! ;)

Thanks for reading. Let me know your thoughts on this review and any feedback you may have for me. Until next time!

Story 7/10
Kagame is a normal high school girl. Her normal life ends when one day a demon drags her into a well where she ends up in Feudal Japan. While in Feudal Japan, she meets a half-demon, half-human breed known as Inuyasha. Inuyasha seeks to use the Shikon Jewel to become a full-fledge demon. As they fight a demon, Kagome shoots an arrow through the demon (the demon ate the Shikon Jewel and Kagome shot an arrow in order to kill it) and the Shikon Jewel shatters. Together, Kagome ... and Inuyasha must travel Feudal Japan in order to retrieve the shards in order to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.

The story gets repetitive at times, which is why I took points away, but it didn't bother me, but I know it bothers a lot of people.

Art 9/10
The art is great. It's very nice and has a warm and family/kid friendly feel to it. 'Nuff said.

Sound 7/10
The soundtrack is nice. For me personally, the kind of music they played isn't really for me. But overall, they did a good job with the soundtrack

Character 9/10
What makes Inuyasha truly special is its characters. The interactions between Kagome and her companions are just a lot of fun to watch. Also, the interactions between Sesshomaru and Rin is just so adorable to watch. I just wish they developed Naraku (the main villain) more. Like, I understand he is a person who isn't suppose to have a lot of emotions, but I just wished they showed a bit more of his internal struggles. I mean, they gave Kaguya a character development but the rest of Naraku's minions, I also wished they somewhat gave them some development.

Enjoyment 7/10
Overall, this anime is a fun watch. I really enjoyed the anime because of its characters, despite that the story isn't all that great.

Overall 8/10
Inuyasha is a great anime if you're looking for some fun character interactions. I really enjoyed the anime and by the end of Inuyasha: The Final Act (after you finish this series, go watch Inuyasha: The Final Act; it is a continuation of this series) I wanted more. The show was so much fun to watch that I just wanted to see more.

Story 9/10
Like FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, the story is just perfect. The story follows the adventures of Gon, where he searches for his father and in order to do that, he decides to become a hunter.

The story has many arcs, in which all the story arcs are nice and consistent. My two favorite arcs are Chimera Ant and Greed Island.

The story is nice and consistent and I have not felt bored at all because of the series length (the series has 148 episodes). But, I felt like they could've done the ending better, which is why my score for story is 9/10.

Art 10/10
the art is really ... colorful and everything is nicely done and consistent. The fight scenes are hilarious at times while also being able to keep its serious tone.

Sound 10/10
The music matches perfectly the anime series. From openings to fight scenes to endings. My favorite opening is the first one. But all of the soundtrack is just really good. I really can't find a flaw or say much here.

Character 10/10
A common complaint that I hear in shonen anime is that they don't really develop their characters. Well, not in this one and not in FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. For each story arc in Hunter x Hunter, you have different characters but yet the characters end up being very memorable in their own ways and they are very well developed. If you ask me what's my favorite character in Hunter x Hunter, it's a tough question, but I really liked Killua and Biscuit. And well, I'll admit one of my favorite villains is Meruem. But honestly, it's hard to answer that question 'cause I loved all of the characters in the series.

Enjoyment 10/10
I thoroughly enjoyed this anime and this is one of the best animes I've ever seen along with FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Everything about this anime is just good.

Overall 10/10
I recommend this anime to any anime fan. If you like Hunter x Hunter, then I also recommend you watch FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, as they are both really good series.

Thanks for reading. Let me know your thoughts on this review and any feedback you may have for me. Until next time!

Ever heard of the saying "It's so bad, that it's hilariously good"? Well, I guess you can say this is one of those animes.

Story 7/10
So, when you read the synopsis for the story at first. It sounds completely ridiculous, right? But, when you actually watch the anime and story unfold, it's hilarious. It's about a guy, Galan, who is obsessed with the samurai lifestyle and even wants to become one if possible. When his friend, Natsu, gives him a ancient sword as a present, strange events start to happen (i.e being attacked and his friend asking him to marry her). Now it is up to ... Galan to stop these strange events.

(Also, you got panties in your face, how worse can the story get, right? xD)

Art 8/10
The art is very good. Some scenes were badly done, which is why I took points away.

Sound 7/10
The soundtrack is good, nothing spectacular here.

Character 9/10
Man, all the character are so funny! You got Natsu who has a dad who is a pervert and wants to grope her, to which Natsu beats him up (despite that he says he enjoys it). You got a overly protective servant of Natsu, who is really strange. You have a freelance reporter who speaks in a weird what seems to be Texan accent xD And you have your protagonist, Galan, who is stupid at everything he does xD

Enjoyment 8/10
At first, I thought this was going to be a serious samurai anime. Boy, was I wrong! This is a comedy and it's really funny and I ended up really enjoying it!

Overall 8/10
Don't think this is a serious samurai anime 'cause it's not! This is a comedy that has many hilarious laughs. If you're just looking to laugh at something, then I recommend this anime. But if you're looking for a more serious samurai anime, then this is not it.

Story 6/10
Ok, so the story is a bit confusing. Pretty much, Tiara, a princess, is ordered to retrieve the throne of Yord. So, based on that, the story sounds great, it's just badly pieced together. Like there were events that I understood that led to the story, but then there are other events where I was asking myself "Wait, what does that have to do with the story". Also, like I said, the story itself is confusing. You really have to piece together the story for yourself. Like, figure it out on your own.

I'll admit, it has some cool action scenes that tend to make ... up for the bad storytelling.

Also, the main story pretty much ends at the fourth episode. The last two episodes are like flashbacks to the past. Basically, it's the past that led to the main events, so if you really didn't understand the main story or what was going on, then watch the last two episodes, it'll really help you understand.

Art 7/10
The art isn't bad. There were some scenes that were badly done, which bothered me, but for a 90s OVA, art isn't all bad.

Sound 7/10
So the soundtrack isn't bad. I really didn't like the openings though, but the music for the events and fight scenes, I quite enjoyed.

Character 4/10
So you have a bland protagonist, Tiara. I mean,, she wasn't interesting at all, but they did a good job explaining her past. I gave character 4/10 because they were all bland, despite that they all had character development, but I just didn't find myself interested in the characters and to me, the characters were boring. But the story does make up a bit for the bad characters.

Enjoyment 6/10
My enjoyment level of this anime is mixed. I found myself enjoying the fight scenes and once I somehow pieced the story together, it made it a bit understandable. But, I don't want to have to piece a story together. Like, when you go into a anime, you should understand what the story is without having to piece it together.

Overall 6/10
I mean, it's not all bad. If you don't mind having to piece together the story, then this anime may not all be bad for you. Honestly, I enjoyed the anime for the action scenes and for some of the story, but I can't really say it was a good experience or bad experience. Just try it out and see for yourself.

Thanks for reading. Let me know your thoughts on this review and any feedback you may have for me. Until next time!

Story 3/10
So, from what I saw, the story seems to be that humans and demons are at war. It is now up to Hiro, a half-demon, half-human princess to put an end to the war.

Now, when you read the synopsis looks like a cool story right? Except that it is just poorly executed. I'm like ok so you got that story except that now you're confusing your audience 'cause you're putting these events that have close to nothing to do with the story.

Overall, it seemed like a great story and I was intrigued by it. I thought it was a cool concept, just really poorly ... executed.

Art 1/10
This has to be one of the worst animations I've ever seen, along with Superkids. In the second OVA, some scenes were improved, but it's still bad.

Character 3/10
There were some characters that seemed to be good, but like the story, I think the character development was poorly executed.

Enjoyment 2/10
It's just bad. I didn't enjoy the anime, but I was intrigued by the story that I kept going and it was not worth it.

Overall 2/10
Yeah, not worth your time. The animation is just awful. The story and characters were poorly executed. It's a shame 'cause the anime had potential, but everything is just really poorly executed. I would not recommend this.

Thanks for reading. Let me know your thoughts on this review and any feedback you may have for me. Until next time!

I honestly have a hard time writing a review for this. There's nothing good about this. It's god awful! This is the first review where well I really can't talk about it or can't find anything good about it, it's just so bad! Don't waste your time with this! The whole time, I felt like "What the _____ am I watching!" And there are animes where that feeling can be a good feeling, but yeah this was not a good feeling at all! I literally don't know what I just watched! Everything about it is just bad from animation to characters, I wanted to pull ... my eyes and brains out!

DO NOT WATCH THIS! And I don't really say this to anime, I would usually say give it a try, but this is one of those animes that are just so bad, I just....can't.

Story 10/10
The story is just perfect. The story follows the adventures of Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric. They try to bring back their mother to life using alchemy. However, the experiment goes terribly wrong, Alphonse's body is destroyed and Ed loses a leg and arm. Edward is able to save Alphonse by putting his soul in a suit of armor. They then go on a adventure to try to bring their bodies back.

The story looks really simple, but it is told in a beautiful way and very well paced. I like how they added humor as well and it is perfectly timed.

Art 10/10
The art is ... very nice and beautiful. I really don't have much to say here.

Sound 9/10
The openings and endings are very nice. My favorite opening and ending is the fourth one. The music for fight scenes are really nicely done as well. I put 9/10 because I felt like the third ending could've been better but nonetheless all the songs are really good.

Character 10/10
The characters are very nice. If I had to say a criticism of anime a bit is that they develop some characters really well (explaining their past and all of that), but they don't do that with other characters. Why can't they do that with all the characters? Well, FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood develops all their characters. I like every single character as they all serve the story in some way. Also, their villains are developed, which is also a criticism I have of anime sometimes is that the villains can be very one-dimensional at times.

Enjoyment 10/10
I really enjoyed this anime series better than the first FullMetal Alchemist series (2003). I had a lot of issues with the 2003 series because the pacing was really slow and I really couldn't deal with it. FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood just fixes all the issues. I loved every bit of it.

Overall 10/10
This anime is a MUST WATCH for any anime fans and people looking to get into anime. FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a shonen in a way and even though you don't like shonens, you gotta watch this! This anime really sets expectations for what other animes should be like in a way. If you're looking to understand Edward's story, just watch like the first 15 episodes of the 2003 version, but really just watch FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. I highly recommend it!

Thanks for reading. Let me know your thoughts on this review and any feedback you may have for me. Until next time!
