Well, let's begin...
Story - 3/10 I had no idea what was going on. It was so confusing and rushed, I feel like it would have been a lot better if they slowed it down. It seems like they're trying WAAAAY too hard to put gothic / psychological themes in it. This manga reminds me so much of Pandora Hearts. It's like a combination of Pandora Hearts, Black butler, and Death Note. I'll go on more about this in the art and character section.
Art - 8/10 I liked it. I feel like they over did it with the
...
gothic ness though, because the girl is like wearing... skulls everywhere and spider web leggings. The art reminds me of Black Butler, like the way they draw the eyes.
Character - 5/10 Oh god, I didn't give the character a high rating because I've seen them in other mangas before. The main girl... doesn't she remind you of Misa from Death note? The hair... the personality... The black haired guy wearing the hat... doesn't he remind you of a combination of Gilbert from Pandora Hearts and L from Death note? I mean... the outfit.. the hat.. the hair... and then the eyes look like L's from Death Note. I guess he's too lazy to be L from Death note... but still........ Now for 4 eyes, doesn't he remind you of a colder version of Light from Death note? And then the other characters... I swear I saw a guy wearing a hat that reminded me of Break from Pandora hearts...
Enjoyment - 4/10 Art was nice to look at, there were a FEW funny moments here and there. Story was confusing and boring and was too fast. I think they added way to many psychological scenes that weren't really needed.
Overall - 4.5/10 Well... if you like gothic style mangas and pigtails, go ahead and read this. This isn't the WORST I've seen, but definitely not the best. The story could have gone pretty nicely...
Well, Good day!

Before I begin, I notice this anime is one of those "love or hate" animes. There's some people who say it's the shettiest anime ever, and some who say that it's the best anime ever. The people who claim it's the best anime ever should watch some more anime and THEN re-rate, and the people who claim it's the shettiest anime ever... are just following the crowd because people like to bash on the popular anime. This anime is seriously NOT OVER-rated given how many people hate this anime, and it's also not UNDER-rated given how many people love this anime.
...
Done with my rant xD
Story - 7/10 It goes by arcs and the story isn't confusing (if you watched from the beginning) and several arcs are really sad and the plot was interesting to watch. However, I feel like it's dragging on and on, and the comedy scenes aren't as funny as the first Naruto. Another thing is the "I will bring back Sasuke! Believe it!" and "He's a precious friend!" is overused too much. Is Sasuke the only thing Naruto thinks about? (Then comes the SasuNaru fans, myself included) I don't get how a traitor who betrayed his friends and village due to jealousy and vengeance is still a friend, but if Naruto thinks that, then it's fine I guess.
Art - 9/10 Clean and easy on the eye, nothing too special, but the art is pretty nice.
Sound - 10/10
Character - 7/10 The characters each have their own personalities, and I don't see much Mary/Gary stus.... except for Naruto himself. Not only can he train faster than anyone else (like when getting the rasengan and sage mode), he can also persuade a godly powerful dude (Pein). Naruto, in the beginning was a knucklehead ninja that everyone hates, but toward the end, he became less of a knucklehead and people began to acknowledge him, which was good character developement. Something about the characters annoy me, and that is how SO MANY characters have a emo sob story behind them.
Enjoyment - 9/10 I enjoyed it.
Overall - 7/10
The "motto" is like "If you work your butt off and have the will to do something, you will succeed" which is obviously not true. I also dislike the fact how Naruto often touches his tummy and go like 'Oh the nine tailed fox is inside me" It just looks wrong... and sounds wrong... I can imagine Naruto giving birth to the Nine tailed fox lol.... Another thing I'd like to say has nothing to do with the review, but if the whole village treated me like shot shet and a jealous friend betrayed me, I wouldn't just put up with it... I'd probably bomb dat stupid village and give the friend a serious beating...

Gintama is a historical/sci fi manga that takes place in the samurai time and aliens come to earth.
Story - It doesn't really have a story, just arcs and random comedies. Each episode/few episodes do have a story of their own, but there's not really a "main" story.
Art - 9/10 The art is clean and easy on the eye, although sometimes the male characters look too buff. xD
Sound - 9/10 Pretty nice, Madao music is awesome, same with Prince Hatas's theme.
Character - 10/10 The characters are interesting and have their own flaws and lovable points, but because there's no actual story,
...
there's no character developement, but then again, I think Gintoki is fine the way he is.
Enjoyment - 10/10 It was beyond hilarious and has the most twisted and awkward/inappropriate humor that came from who knows where.
Overall - 9/10

Shugo Chara - A popular Shoujo anime
Story - 4/10 What story? It's just about these group of elementry school kids with magical transforming egg powers purifying X eggs with a bit of story here and there, but the episode are just about helping a person with their egg problems.
Art - 7/10 It's not bad, but I generally don't like the giant forehead/giant eyes look, but it's too too bad.
Sound - 8/10 I'm not a fan of Shugo Chara type of music, but they're not bad.
Character - 5/10 Amu is the ultimate Mary Stu. Not only does she have like
...
4 eggs, she has this Mary Stu personality. Ikuto is your oh so common Shoujo male character - perverted and good looking and plays the violin. Tadase is just annoying and his personality is boring... and Utau is your tsundere... and the rest of the characters... are just boring..... and annoying.....
Enjoyment - 6/10 It bored me..... Since after the first few episodes it was just about the group of elementry school kids going off running about helping random people...
Overall - 7/10

Air, it was kind of sad and enchanting....
Story - 7/10 It's about some guy who has these "powers" to control this puppet without using strings or anything. And then there's the chick with the wing stuff..... I don't get it. It's confusing, I feel like they're trying too hard to make it romantic and elegant. They could have gone more into the story about the girl and the wings, and ... it's just plain confusing. I'm not going to list too much of the confusing parts or I'll spoil it, so let's just keep it at that.
Art -
...
8/10 Ah... Key art, beautiful and nicely shaded, but the bug eyes... Didn't bother me too much since I watched Clannad, so it's alright!
Sound - 10/10 I really love the opening, the soundtracks, they're really good.
Character - 7/10 I liked the mom lol. But the other character's personalities were boring. The making dinosaur noises were probably added to make people think it's cute. Plus, I see a Mary Stu in there. Out of all the people in this world, this story chooses to be about a "special" girl with wings, and her personality is pretty Mary Stu-ish.
Enjoyment - 6/10 I was confused, I don't remember anything funny scenes, sad scenes were pretty sad, but I postponed it a few times because it bored me.
Overall - 7/10 A okay-ish/kinda good anime. It was unique... I guess... People who say "This is the best anime ever! Saddest anime!" etc... are gonna hate this review lol xD But I' just stating my opinion.

A manga about Mafias... I had to read that... After I finished with Hitman Reborn, I came across another mafia story so I picked it up and began reading.
Story - 8/10 Funny, entertaining. It's based on a BL game, but so far in the manga, there's not really any BL scenes except for a few scenes here and there. The "BL hinting" scenes in the manga are actually from a scene from each route in the game. Like there's one scene with Bernardo and Gian that occurs if you're on Bernardo's route in the game, and the scene with Guilio and
...
Gian that occurs if you're on Guilio's route... So basicly, the manga gave you all 4 of the scenes... Okay what I said there is a bit hard to follow, but it's alright. But anyway, this manga has just begun. In the game, it does through three stages, Prison -> On the way -> Mafia (They actually have names, but I forget what they're called so I'm just going to go by Prion, On the way, and Mafia) In the manga, it just finished the Prison part.
Art - 9/10 It's a little wee bit awkward from here and there, but overall, I really like the art and shading style.
Characters - 10/10 Contains one of the best characters ever xD The main character, Gian, is a lazy butt of a person who's so carefree and whatevs, and he's a slob too. If you have played/watched/read the game through the bad endings, you'd see that he's not a Gary Stu either, but we're talking about the manga, and the manga hasn't got that far yet. The other characters are a stupid person who can't take a joke, (Ivan) but he's so funny lol. A guy who gets turned on by dead bodies... (Guilio) but he's also funny. A friend of the main character, (Bernardo) that flirts with the main character as a joke, and their flirtings are so funny lol! And lastly, the big guy who's popular with the ladies, (Luchino).
Enjoyment - 10/10 Funny, interesting, not boring at all, really nice to read.
Overall - 9/10 =D

The first time someone suggested me this anime, I was like "EW I don't give a crap about romance or school life" But I was bored one day, and decided to give it a shot. It turned out to be one of my top animes.
Story - 10/10 Clannad was one thing, After story was another. The story is... SAD, it made me cry like a baby, but then it has funny and really heartwarming scenes that cheered me up. I loved this anime so so so much. The plot really connects at the end, and the story is really
...
nice and definitely worth looking into.
Art - 8/10 I'm actually not a fan of this type of bug eyed art, but the shading and coloring is done really detailed and pretty looking, and the art wasn't disturbing and it was bearable. It took a while to get used to, but once I did, I thought it was really beautiful.
Sound - 10/10 Oh god, I would give this 100/10 lol! The music is so... fitting to the mood..... Some soundtracks are so cheerful and light hearted, and some are so tragic yet beautiful, and followed by that are soundtracks that are.... hopeful you can say?
Character - 7/10 I hate to give the character part a 7/10, but here's my reasons. Tomoya isn't like your normal harem protagonist, I'll give you that, and he isn't a Gary Stu either, but the problem lies within the other characters. First off, this anime contains several common Harem anime/game traits.
1. School Life
2. A guy friend for the main character, but he doesn't get any girls (Sunohara)
3. A tsundere (Kyou)
4. A shy girl (Ryou)
5. A girl next door type of girl (Nagisa)
6. A Loli (Mei)
7. A violent girl (Tomoyo)
8. A bookworm (Kotomi)
etc etc...
Kyou is like your average Tsundere, Nagisa is your common almost Mary Stu, and the girls seem so... weak... (except for Tomoyo and Kyou) I know Japan likes their girls "innocent" but it just bugs me...
Enjoyment - 10/10 It's sad, funny, heartwarming... kept me wanting to watch the next episode...
Overall - 10/10 Maybe... a 9/10, but I gave it a 10/10 already so a 10/10 xD

Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin is THE best anime I have ever watched so far.
Story - 10/10 The story followed 6 young people who were sent to shonen reformatory and the struggles they go through. I think it's based on how important friendship is, and I usually don't really care about that because it's so common, but the ties between the characters in Rainbow is are just so touching and heart warming... It is filled with drama and the storyline is just so great. There's some cheesy parts here and there but they're well done. There's
...
very little anime that interests me as much as this one. I really like the setting too, because a lot of animes now adays are about people in school, or a harem, or people with super powers. Rainbow is a nice change of pace, since it was set in a dark prison place and after a war in Japan.
Art - 9/10 I know everyone has different tastes in art, but a lot of anime art icks me. I really liked the art in this anime though, it's clean and doesn't have the oversized eyes stuff. The body proportions are well done too, since a lot of anime make the female characters look like 10 year olds and give them eyes that take up half of their head and a tiny body. However, it may take a few episodes to get used to it if you're used to watching anime with big eyes/colored hair/ etc...
Sound - 10/10 I really liked the opening song. It fit the anime really well, and the songs played at each scene also fit the mood. The soundtracks in this anime were really epic and beautiful.
Character - 9/10 The characters here aren't the usual Mary/Gary Stu or Tsunders, they have real personalities, and in realistic personalities have flaws. Each of the characters have their own flaws, but flaws are what makes a character lovable. Another thing I like is that they didn't make the male characters all "bishies" or extremely good looking. I gave it a 9/10 instead of a 10/10 because sometimes I feel that the antagonists are such completely screwed up @ssholes that it's not really realistic. It's like they're 100% evil with no ounce of non-evil in them xD.
Enjoyment - 10/10 hands down. Didn't bore me, didn't annoy me, kept me longing for the next episode until I found out there was no more...
Overall - 10/10 I can't believe how this show isn't that popular. This is definitely the best anime I have ever watched (so far)
