"My drill is the one that pierces the heavens! Even if that hole becomes my grave, as long as I break through, I shall be victorious! Who the hell do you think I am?! I’m Simon! I’m not my brother Kamina! I am myself! Simon the digger!"
~Simon
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, in many ways, is a parody of a typical shounen mecha show that breaks out of the genre to become something else entirely.
In a post-apocalyptic world, humanity is forced underground to escape the beastmen, ruled by the Spiral King, that hunt them on the surface. Underground, the humans dig tunnels and live in peace. The
...
best digger in the village, Simon, discovers a golden drill, and awakens an ancient mecha with incredible power. Using this mecha, Simon and friends decide to rebel against the beastmen and the evil Spiral King to save humanity from subjugation.
From this point the show quickly locks itself into a simple formula of setting a goal, beating up that goal, and then finding a new goal. While early on the plot can be almost episodic and there is no clear direction, the show quickly gains a clear and defined point B.
The characters are pretty typical but the main cast do receive large amounts of developments. Best example is probably Kamina, while absent for the majority of the series his impact on the rest of the characters in the show, even characters he never interacted with, is astounding. Early on Kamina is a somewhat annoying and headstrong take-no-shit character. Over time though you realize and even appreciate what he did and stood for.
Yoko is your typical fan-service girl with guns, but even she has a rare amount of depth to her. Simon starts off as the simple timid and wussy mecha protagonist but quickly comes into a league of his own and is easy to cheer for.
As mentioned Gurren Lagann often parodies other shounen mecha shows. Often not caring about explaining the aftermath of fights or character motivations and simply decides to fix everything with explosions. This formula is shattered around the midway point of the show with a time skip. The show quickly becomes dark and starts talking about serious themes such as war crimes and political ramifications.
While some people question it’s relevance in a show like Gurren Lagann, my issue stemmed not from it’s sudden change is direction, but with how contrived and broken certain plot elements and character motivations became. Certain events have an outcome and consequences that don’t make any sense and seem to conflict with what would probably happen if the world were real. It ends up coming off as an attempt to shove superfluous drama down your throat.
However, the show then quickly kicks itself back in gear and goes back to it’s “explosions fix everything” mindset, that culminates in one of the most epic conclusions I’ve ever seen in an anime.
On the animation side of things everything is done well, except for episode four. The fight scenes are wonderfully animated, the mechas look great in motion, and the characters are easily recognizable.
The sound on the other hand leaves something to be desired. I’m not much of a hip-hop fan, so the main track that plays later on in the series is more irritating than enjoyable, regardless of how catchy it is. The OP and EDs are well done though and have a song attached to them that you’ll most likely be hearing in your head long after the show is over.
Overall Gurren Lagann is a fantastic show that shatters the norm most people are accustomed to. It’s fast paced and it’s scale eventually becomes super-massive. The show is quite the enjoyable ride.
Gurren Lagann is a show that most people consider a classic, and after having watched it I can certainly see why.

"Zawsze in love. You take this lock and I'll take this key. Hold it close to your heart and keep it safe! One day when we're all grown up we'll meet again! We'll use the key to open the lock and then... We'll get married!"
~The Promised Girl
Nisekoi is a story about a promise. What this promise is exactly and who all is involved is what the entire series revolves around.
Our story begins with Yakuza heir Ichijo Raku sometime between spring and summer in his first year of high school. Following typical anime cliches he has a chance and violent encounter with a girl who happens
...
to be the new transfer student: Kirisaki Chitoge. Raku, like any high school boy, has a crush on a girl. However, that causes issues when various and largely irrelevant plot elements force Raku to be in a fake relationship (Nisekoi means fake love) with Chitoge.
Nisekoi is largely a harem show. So, like any harem show the largest strengths lie in the characters. First and foremost we have our male lead Ichijo Raku. Raku is a kindhearted individual who is easy to like but hard to relate to. He does what you would expect from a male protagonist but is able to feel unique though within the genre to be refreshing.
The girls all fill common niches and talking about them too much could potentially spoil things. So I'll make this light. First up is Chitoge, your classic tsundere with a foul mouth. However she is thoroughly entertaining. She has the most development out of anyone in the show. Her interactions with Raku are some of the best I've seen outside of Monogatari. They aren't as memorable individually but each one is quite hilarious.
Onodera is the timid girl with a crush. Onodera is easily one of the best and worst aspects of this show. The way her development and progression is handled is enough to make you want to pull your hair out. However, she is still enjoyable to watch whenever she is on screen.
There are two girls added later on but they have absolutely no contribution to the plot of the anime in any way shape or form, other than to simply boost numbers in the harem.
Nisekoi is a harem that knows it's a harem, often making fun of other harems. The plot feels gimmicky at times, and the pacing can be frustrating. However, if you can look past all of that and accept the show for what it is it's quite enjoyable.
The art and animation is typical Shaft, mirroring the Monogatari series in many ways as far as style goes. Everything looks great. The backgrounds are crip, the characters look beautiful, and the animation is fluid. Considering how undetailed the manga was Shaft did a phenomenal job bringing this anime to life.
The soundtrack on the other hand is pretty mediocre outside of the OPs and EDs. Each track is able to add emotion to the scene but none are particularly well done enough to enjoy on their own.
The anime however does come with it's own share of issues. Being a manga adaptation many things are bound to be lost or cut. Some of these severely hampered the show. First and most obvious are the two girls added later on. Each one has lost many of their individual chapters making them simply feel like numbers in a harem rather than a compelling characters to move the plot forward. To go along with this many chapters explaining Chitoge's development were also removed making the events in some scenes lose their impact.
Overall Nisekoi is a very good anime, easily my favorite harem. It does have it's faults and it ends with the promise being entirely unresolved but there is hope for consecutive seasons.
Nisekoi is a show that completely surprised me, and now I find myself wanting more.

Making friends is something everyone wants to do at some point. Some people make them easily, while others struggle. Regardless of your ability, few people would turn down the opportunity to make a friend.
Haganai is a show about a group of people who simply just want to make friends. So to go along with that, they make a fake club that's sole purple is finding friends. However... That plan largely fails.
The characters somehow manage to be the last refuge and the biggest disaster of the show at the exact same time. It’s rare for that to be the case First and foremost is our main
...
character Kadoka. Everyone in the school has an illogical fear of him due to his harsh voice and two toned hair. Everyone other than the girls who join the club the start. Literally none of them even hesitate to talk to him, despite the fact that the entire school seems to hate him. Assuming he steals, beats up, or even rapes other students.
The other main characters are Yozora, the obvious childhood friend that Kadoka has forgotten about, and Sena, the busty, beautiful, rich, arrogant, crybaby. These characters are the only ones that actually matter as the rest are so shallow it’s pointless to talk about them for any length of time.
Take Rika for example. Known as the perverted scientist because… Well she is, and that’s all she is. She has no past to speak of, she has no emotions other than being in a state of extreme and constant arousal, the entire time she is on screen she is being perverted and that is all she does. Maria is no better, the loli character who of course takes to calling Kadoka her big brother while constantly insulting all the other girls in the club using her favorite insult, “poop”. The others all fall in with this pattern.
Yozora and Sena on the other hand are actually fleshed out characters that have at least some depth to them. However, most of Yozora’s motivations and emotions aren’t really elaborated upon until the finale. These two are hard to talk about singularly because most of their screen time is spent arguing and competing with each other on anything under the sun.
The only thing they seem to have in common besides good looks is their obvious crush on our main character. Sena is arrogant and rude on the outside, but is actually very sweet. That sounds like a typical tsundere but she doesn’t really have many tsundere qualities. Whenever she’s with Yozora and her ego is shattered she often runs away crying. She, of course, has no real friends so she doesn’t know how to make any. It’s hinted but never elaborated upon, that her ego and rudeness is a shield of some kind to protect herself as she is a crybaby.
Yozora on the other hand… No matter how hard I try Yozora is a character that easily infuriates me. She’s never nice, she’s always insulting everyone, she manipulates Sena and Maria, the list goes on and on. While some of these instances were comical and could be laughed off the simple amount of times she did them, and their intensity was ridiculous. In the first or second episode she slams the door on Sena’s face then when they finally talk she insults her by saying something along the lines of, “[Sena] just a worthless piece of meat that will have to sell her body for money if she ever plans to support herself.”
Some of the things she said simply felt like they were going too far to be funny. Especially since Yozora herself claims to not be a bully. The only thing that saves Yozora from me outright hating her is her few moments of being cute and the finale when her past and motivations are explored. These rare moments are genuinely adorable, probably made even more so by her complete bitchiness outside of these few moments. If Yozora wasn’t so harsh and maybe calmed down a little, she would have been much better off. Hell, she probably would have even won out over Sena as my best girl, but that is not the case.
Despite my comments I actually did enjoy this show quite a bit. The comedy that wasn’t focused on Yozora being a bitch was genuinely funny. These moments shined in the first few episodes when Kadoka, Sena, and Yozora were playing video games and dating sims in an attempt to become more sociable. When the other characters were introduced that chemistry was ruined and disappeared (although Sena was always playing a game any time she was in the clubroom, it was just never the focus of the show anymore). The other characters, while being completely one-dimensional, were funny. Again though, that’s all they were. Shallow comic relief. While they accomplished their job, I feel they could have been even funnier if the characters had been fleshed out more.
Overall Haganai is an average show. I did enjoy it quite a bit, but this is far from a must see anime or something I would recommend.

Witch Craft Works is a show with tremendous potential and sadly no payoff.
If I were to tell you that this show had a cohesive story that was tied together tightly with plot lines that expand across multiple episodes I would be blatantly lying to you. Witch Craft Works takes an almost episodic structure and the only thing that ties the show together chronologically is the progression of the characters.
And I’m completely okay with that as this show had a large and great cast of characters. The thing that made this show so enjoyable for me was how goofy everyone was. It was very much like
...
The Devil is a Part-Timer!Where the characters would normally be taken seriously but instead they are not. Often times these characters feel like actors in a play. Once their scene of fighting is over everyone is friends even living in the same house.
There are a few episodes of plot that take two episodes to resolve but these are few. Any of the drama, action, and suspense this show could have had was removed in lieu of the romance. Which normally I would be alright with, however, that romance had no payoff. If you’re going to remove many of your possible aspects to focus on one thing in particular than whatever you focus on should be damn good. Sadly by the end of Witch Craft Works our wonderful main characters are exactly where they were in the first couple episodes. We just simply understand them better.
I should add this show is getting an OVA in July. When that airs it is possible to change my opinion of the show. However, for now this show is one with high enjoyment but absolutely no payoff, so most of that enjoyment is ruined in the end.

I went into the Monogatari series with every intention of hating it. Watching the first couple episodes of Bakemonogatari was excruciating because I was nitpicking everything. From the conversations being boring, to the characters not making sense, anything I could think of. So how is it that a series I tried so hard to hate ended up becoming one of my favorites?
The Monogatari Second Season starts out a few months after the events of Nisemonogatari. There are no new characters introduced, but some characters receive more screen time and while they don’t develop they are fleshed out somewhat. However, their contribution to the plot is
...
almost nonexistent or extremely spoilery so I won’t spend too much time talking about them.
The main difference in the Monogatari Second Season is the way the individual arcs are handled. In previous seasons we were following Araragi as he attempted to help various girls from problems with spirits. These arcs were told in present tense. They were “happening” at that moment. Us viewers were watching it unfold as an observer. That is not the case in most of the Monogatari Second Season. Instead, we are being told a story.
This is arguably my favorite part of this season. We are in the minds of one of these outstanding characters. We see the world the way they do, and this affects their story. For instance, if you and your friend experience the same event, two years later when telling someone about it, you may have different memories of how the event happened. This is usually due to perception. Everyone sees the world in a different light. So, this idea has been applied to the stories. Characters are perceived differently than they may be.
For example, Araragi is usually just a goofy over the top pervert with a lolita and sister complex. However, when Hanekawa is telling us a story about an event in her life, it’s hard to not see Araragi as a knight in shining armor. Her view and her love for him change how she perceives his actions. This is present in Nadeko’s arc as well. How the characters perceive certain events changes as well depending on their mental stability and even their personality. The entire concept is astounding.
This is all made even more enjoyable simply because these are such fantastic characters. However, even outside of the characters the story is quite grand. I’ve never been so intrigued in the plot of a Monogatari story arc as I was with the Second Season. Each is very well written and all are suspiciously connected, something that has not appeared in the previous seasons.
Only other thing left mentioning is, the fan service. Although, this time around it’s a bit different mostly because… There isn’t much. I was shocked. Other than a shower scene in the first arc where Hitagi and Hanekawa were having way too much fun taking a shower together and a quick Hachikuji skirt flip there wasn’t any until the final arc, but even then that was a male. However, this just proves my previous statements that Monogatari is perfectly capable of telling a compelling story without needing to show us it’s wonderful characters bodies near nude every few moments.
With all the praise I have given I figure it’s about time to talk about my only real issue with the show. That is: The soundtrack. None of the music was particularly noteworthy other than Kaiki’s theme. This also applies to the OPs. While each one was able to match the personality of the characters they were portraying and sported some great animation that fit well with the music, all were pretty basic and forgotten the moment they ended. I suppose this is only an issue with this show specifically, simply because the Monogarai series has had some truly great OPs and EDs in the past.
Overall the Monogatari Second Season took every major issue I had with the Monogatari series and remove it almost completely. For a show to do so much while also delivering a compelling story, staying true to the characters, while also adding a completely unique spin on things is absolutely incredible.
The Monogatari series is a series steeped in controversy, but despite it’s issues I think it’s a fantastic anime and one at least everyone should give a try.

With the release of Bakemonogatari in 2009 Studio Shaft had created an anime that would forever change the way anime fans view the company. Bakemonogatari was very unique in both style and execution. With no other anime doing what it had done or, at least, not in the same fashion. Needless to say, it was a phenomenal success. So the announcement and release of a sequel, should be far from surprising.
Nisemonogatari picks up exactly where Bakemonogatari left off. Although, that is to say, with the main character Araragi conversing with many different characters in hilarious ways. The plot in this show is not overarching but
...
told in many minor arcs. Allowing for most of this show to be seen out of order, although most would probably not recommend it even though it is entirely possible.
All of the characters from the previous season are present but more are added while others sacrifice screen time. The largest of these being Nadeko who only shows up for a single five minute scene in one episode. The “new” characters are Shinobu and the Araragi sisters, Karen and Tsukihi. I say “new” because while these characters were present in Bakemonogatari they were simply names with a seiyuu. They had no development, practically no lines, and absolutely no story. They were simply just there.
This is a second season though, so chances are if you enjoyed the first season you will enjoy the second season. Also the extraordinarily increased production and animation quality certainly make this a standout. However, there are a few notable differences from the previous season.
First and foremost being the plot and structure. Most of the season feels like filler content, with nothing really happening plot wise. These episodes consist of nothing but essentially pointless character interactions. While that might sound negative, it in fact is the opposite. I said in my Bakemonogatari review that the best aspects of the show are it’s characters and dialogue, while it’s plot was it’s downfall. Nisemonogatari seems to fix that for the most part.
The new characters introduced are all fun and quirky with Shinobu being the standout in my opinion. Only person more interesting and enjoyable on screen than Shinobu, is Hitagi herself.
I have to make a comment on the fan service. Nisemonogatari seemed to have more fan service in it’s first four episodes than the entirety of Bake. That’s not even including the infamous “toothbrush scene”. However, all things considered the one thing I will give credit to this series, is how unique it is. Even when it comes to the fan service it’s done in such an interesting an artistic way, you could make up an entirely different name for it. This whole series seems to be in a genre of it’s own already. Despite my complains though, it doesn’t hamper my enjoyment, but at the same time, it doesn’t enhance it either.
Overall Nisemonogatari is a fantastic addition to the Monogarai series. It was able to keep the charm of the original series while adding new elements and characters without feeling forced.
Some people disliked the change in direction, but I think it’s heading down a good path.

The supernatural is often an element used in media. With all things considered, the average human existence is a bland one. Many want to look towards strange happenings to give themselves a sense that not everything is as it seems. Whether you believe in the existence of supernatural events is irrelevant, as in the world of Bakemonogatari, the supernatural not only exists, but seems quite commonplace.
Our story begins with a conversation between our main character Araragi Koyomi and the class representative Hanekawa Tsubasa. Araragi then leaves the classroom and meets one of the most interesting anime characters I’ve ever seen, Senjougahara Hitagi. During this brief
...
meeting and the next, Araragi has his cheek stapled before deciding to help Hitagi with her supernatural issue of being practically weightless.
This is the structure of the show. A new character is introduced, we learn their issue and Araragi attempts to solve it. Usually with varying amounts of success. Each of these character arcs is entirely independent from one another after Hitagi Crab, and could probably be watched in any order without any major issues.
There are arguably only two major aspects to Bakemonogatari: Characters and dialogue. Luckily, Bakemonogatari hits both of those out of the park. Each character is wonderful in their own way. They all have their own issues and motivations and they all have varying and often hilarious dialogue with Araragi. Each one of them has different mannerisms and topics of conversations and each one has a running gag. Whether it’s Hachikuji flubbing Araragi’s name or Kanaru’s playful insistence on being his mistress, all of the conversations are witty and humorous and thoroughly enjoyable.
Sadly, the same can not be said for the plot. Honestly the plot is more hit or miss than anything else. If you’re really into supernatural stuff this show will probably draw you in, however there was nothing really in the plot that surprised or particularly interested me. The thing that kept me going was the character interactions. There were only two parts of the plot that made me think, “Oh damn.” And that was when Hachikuji’s existence was revealed, and when Kanaru admitted she was a lesbian.
There isn’t much to say about the animation except that it is SHAFT at it’s finest. If you've seen a Shaft show you know what to expect, although I will say the fan service was largely unnecessary. Sadly, I hear it only gets worse.
I normally don’t take time to talk about sound unless I really have to, and I feel in Bakemonogatari’s case I really do. All of the voice acting was stellar, there wasn’t a single character that I felt was poorly characterized or come off as annoying. The soundtrack is absolutely astounding. Not only does it manage to create multiple catchy OPs for each character arc, it has one of the best EDs of an anime I have ever heard. The background music used for each of the scenes is also all very well done and lends to the overall supernatural atmosphere.
Overall Bakemonogatari is a fantastic show with some really good characters and some of the best dialogue I’ve ever seen. I will point out that I had an extreme negative bias when starting this show due to it’s lolicon themes but I am able to overlook that as the rest of the show is extremely enjoyable.
Bakemonogatari was an almost instant classic, and I can certainly see why.

Everyone has a wish. Perhaps it is to be noticed by someone you admire or love. Maybe it's to be rich and famous. It could even be as simple as not losing someone you were close to, or to protect someone. We all have our wishes. One thing above all else we hope will come true. The question is... What are you willing to sacrifice to have that wish granted?
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica follows the story of Kaname Madoka who is suddenly thrust into the world of magical girls. This is not a happy go lucky story though. You quickly see that there is more
...
to this show than meets the eye.
Madoka Magica is what's known by many as a deconstruction. It takes something well known, in this case magical girls, and asks all the questions other magical girl shows don't or wont. Why is there an animal here trying to help us? Why does he want us to be magical girls? Where did he come from? Just what are witches? What do they want? Where do they come from?
So, in typical magical girl fashion, squirrel-cat thing Kyubey appears to Madoka and makes her an offer to become a magical girl. In return, he will grant her any one wish. Usually when things sound too good to be true, it's because they are. These girls learn that lesson the hard way.
On the character side of things we have our "protagonist" Kaname Madoka. Originally seeming like your typical girl but her traits shine more later on as her past is explored better. Then we have her best friend Miki Sayaka. She is headstrong and diligent. Always wanting to do what's right and just even if she has a hard time doing that herself. Then we have Sakura Kyouko the smart mouthed almost tsundere girl from another town. There's Tomoe Mami the caring and loving one. She wants to protect everyone even at the cost of her own well being. Then finally we have Akemi Homura... Homura is an interesting character because almost nothing is revealed about her until later in the series. Up to that point she seems like little more than a Rei Ayanami clone.
What makes these characters so great is how fleshed out they are in such a short amount of time. Each one has clear-cut motivations and flaws. Their back story and contribution to the plot is astounding. Even the side characters. You'll find yourself rooting for these poor girls. Hoping and praying that they will win even if it seems less and less likely with each passing episode.
The music gets a special note here. The soundtrack was composed by Kajiura Yuki and is fantastic. Each track is able to immediately set the tone of the scene and emphasize the emotions. The themes for every girl is spot on. These are tracks that remain in your mind long after the anime is over.
The animation side of things suffers a bit. Studio Shaft is well known for having questionable quality shows air, then fixing them later for box set releases. While you can easily say owning the box set fixes this, they are so unreasonably priced most people will watch this streamed. Unless they pirate.
Overall Madoka Magica is a fantastic anime and a well done deconstruction. I can not recommend this anime enough to people. The plot is very mature and changes protagonists on a whim and that can be jarring to some. However, if you can see past that you are in for an amazing tale.
Madoka Magica is often considered a masterpiece and I often find myself having troubling debating that.

"Fear is freedom. Control is Liberty. Contradiction is truth! That is the reality of this world! Listen well, you pigs in clothing, and submit to that reality!” To say that Kill la Kill is an incomprehensible anime, would be an understatement. However, despite it’s insanity, Kill la Kill stands as one of the better anime in recent years.
Our story begins with the appearance of a, would be, bad ass transfer student: Matoi Ryūko. Who has traveled all over searching for her father’s killer, the only evidence she carries is half of a giant pair of scissors. This search led her to Honnouji Academy where she
...
comes face to face with the student council president, Kiryūin Satsuki. Ryuko challenges her to a fight only to get the hell beat out of her by the boxing club president. She then returns to her father’s burned down mansion where she is assaulted and forced to wear a unique and outrageously powerful article of clothing called a kamui that Ryuko promptly names Senketsu. Together Ryuko and Senketsu decide to take down Satsuki and all of her followers at Honnouji Academy. All of this happens in the first ten minutes of episode one.
Kill la Kill is an anime that moves at hyper speed without any plans of ever slowing down. To me, that is one of it’s best attributes. You’re never bogged down by lengthy plot lines where everything is moving at a snails pace. The story is good, but quite a jumbled mess until around the second half when an actual antagonist is introduced. But the story isn’t what makes Kill la Kill so grand. In fact, no single element is what makes Kill la Kill great, it’s a combination of all it’s elements.
One of those great elements being the characters. From the never calm Mako to the homeroom teacher who is constantly removing his clothes. All of them are great in their own way. But the most surprising aspect is their interactions. Take a character like Mankanshoku Mako, who is not intelligent, never serious, and comes off as a simple comic relief character most of the time. Despite that some of her interactions with Ryuko are so emotionally gripping it feels like it’s part of a different show. I remember one moment in particular when the Mankanshoku family started climbing the ladder of social status, and in the end Mako and Ryuko had a fight with one of the most touching “reunions” I’ve seen in a show like this. The ability for this show, that never takes itself seriously, to be so moving is a merit all on it’s own.
On the art and animation side of things Trigger is very unique. Much like SHAFT shows where you might have to spend time getting used to it. Nothing in the show looks particularly gorgeous, but none of it looks bad either. I will say the action sequences are particularly well animated.
The soundtrack was composed by Sawano Hiroyuki, who is also known for his work composing the soundtrack of Guilty Crown and more recently Attack on Titan. This soundtrack joins my must buy list.
Kill la Kill has garnered a lot of controversy usually in regards to fan service. While I suppose this show does have quite a large amount, the way it ties into the story makes it different in my opinion. These characters are not shown nude or scantily clad in an attempt to make them sexy. When shows like Recently My Sister is Unusual are airing, I find it silly to complain about a show like Kill la Kill in regards to fan service.
Overall, Kill la Kill is a fantastic show with a solid spot on my list of recommended anime. The entire show is available over on Crunchyroll and Hulu.
