Well, can I say something positive about this anime?
Yes.
This positive things will change my thought about this anime?
No.
Why? Let me explain.
Shuumatsu Nani Shitema... SukaSuka, for short (and my mental stability) is an anime produced based on a Light Novel.
Well, fair enough.
Now, i haven't read the LN, BUT! I could bet my house that the LN is better. (On MAL, it's rated 8.69, So I win).
But let's start saying something about this anime:
The story is quite enjoyable, i didn't dislike it but i cannot say that i properly liked it. I "appreciate" it? Can I say that?
It's linear and
...
after all, not a bad story at all. But... i don't know, it has its
inconsistencies... I cannot go any further, or i could make spoilers BUT! What happened before? Who created all this? Why he's alive? Answers!
No, authors didn't want let us know. In the sequel, maybe? Hope is our weapon, but for now, story is a 6.
Art and drawings were ok, i guess. Normal.
Sounds follow.
Oh, NOW! We can talk: Characters! Yes! YES!
Mediocre. ALL THE WAY. I want answers, guys! Why, at the end of the season, i'm with more questions than answers? Couldn't you add some more answers?
I didn't understand many things. "Yea, but there's a LN out there, go read that". No. Why am I forced to read the LN? I want answers in the anime. It's the holy bible with its interpretations and numerous versions? I must go in the past to know the answers?
Apparently, it seems so. Well, I'll wait the sequel, hoping that there will be something more juicy.
Enjoyment, of course, has suffered. I Enjoyed the final episodes. More action, more things, people explaining things, people doing something different from useless things like dating (wtf) and going to search a father of a dog girl (where she go? Disappeared. Puff. No more dog girl for you!)
So, I give a 6 (a 7, on trust), waiting for a sequel that could give me more answers.

Well, why I liked Bungou Stray Dogs Second Season so much? Because they adapted few of my favourite writers in a way that left me speechless.
I'm an hardcore reader (especially books) and when it comes to literature... well, everything is just fine for me. But! There is always a but. ,
Let's start from the bottom. The story: we are left where the first season ended and that's quite normal for an ordinary season like Bungou Stray Dogs (BSD from now on). All the characters return on screen and they are not changed. If you are reading this review and you have not seen the
...
first season, well, why are you reading it, then?
Returning to the point: the story goes just fine. The ending is a bit wow! But not too much. In fact, i'll say that the story of BSD is the only "weak spot" that the anime has.
But, even in its weak spot, BSD can surprise us: the beginning of the season is a little diamond. I loved it. (Especially because i found some references to my real life, as a reader.)
But it's, however, an ordinary story in the anime world.
Climbing the ladder, there is the art: quite enjoyable. I liked it. Smooth, sometimes darker, sometimes lighter.
Sound: songs, background themes, sounds, voices were just fine. Nice job in adapting the manga. Nice job, really.
Here we come at the juicy part: Characters! All the characters in BSD are based on real writers of the XIX and XX century. Japanese and non, the characters are imaginary created on the real authors that at their time founded literary movements and new thinking stream (such as HP Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Fitzgerald, Dazai, Izumi Kyouka etc...). The author created, also, powers for each, based on their work (No Longer Human - Dazai, for example is a classic Japanese). That's, for me, a paradise, a valhalla. I managed to discover so many authors, poet and writers that I...
Back to the ground, folks. I loved the characters because they are not the classic "oh another normal character". They are created with a reason in mind: entertain. Even secondary ones.
But for the non-hardcore readers like me, BSD can be, in my opinion, a bit boring. As the story reveals its secret, one can easily predict the future of the season. For me it's a plain 10, for personal reason, but for another would be a modest rating.
Enjoyment: well, i think that I explained myself enough in the previous point. I say only that i enjoyed watching BSD.
Overall: BSD II is not just the ordinary sequel for another ordinary work. If you could search a bit deeper, you could find that BSD hide something bigger: a memory. Memory of those who created the modern literature. And if you don't want to search (because you have the right to say "no, I want to watch BSD and not giving a brick about anything") you would, however, enjoy a nicely done work.

Prison School (or should i say CLIMAX School?) is a seinen anime that take place at a only girl school that has been, recently, converted to a normal school (this means that boys are allowed in the school). But only five boys are accepted and long story short they commit a crime (peeping girls during their bath) and sended in the school prison.
The story starts already at full speed. The five boys get straight to the point and decide to go peeping girls. They get caught and here begin the story. This anime is a mega climax, and it starts raising at the very beginning.
...
And the awesome point is that the anime KEEP THIS PACE! The climax doesn't stop at any time at all till the end! And even the end is a super climax! That's very rare in modern animes...
Art and sound are superbe. Specially the art. It's well made and it gets the spectator to a deep level.
Characters... they are... i don't know, but they are close to perfection. The feeling that they transmit, the thoughts that they have, the way that they act, the development during the anime... From the start to the end, they go through problems, riddles, CHALLENGES and many others things that made me think a lot.
At last but not least, enjoyment. It was quite normal. For an ecchi and a seinen, seeing panties, bras, sweat all over the places, bad words, bad thoughts, twisted thoughts wasn't bad at all. A seinen is for 18+, and so i enjoyed the mature humor and all of its consequencies.
So, i enjoyed a lot Prison School and it gave me more than one moment to think that sometimes the world can be really twisted (because what happens in the anime could certainly happen in real life, and trust me, i had more than one experience of similar situatuons...).
Don't miss it, because this anime is funny, twisted, and full of strange things but it's emjoyable and the characters are pure genius. 8/10

OreMonogatari!! (My Story!!) is a light hearted shoujo rom-com that i liked a lot.
First, the comedy is very well made. I mean, i laughed a lot at some points... and i'm not the type that laugh a lot... so this could explain itself how i found good the comedy in this anime.
Second, the romance. Well, it's the classic dream type romance story. Who wouldn't like to have a girlfriend like Yamato? Or a boyfriend like Taeko? I mean, they're pretty unusual, but they're great. I think that everyone would fall for them.
But, anyways, it's good and enjoyable.
Third, and this part is my and
...
only my opinion. This anime reminded my life. I'm not strong or tall as Taeko but everytime people look at me like, they think that i'm a bad guy. (And when they begin to talk to me, they smile 'cause i'm nice... i would never understand the human mind.)
So i felt Taeko stronger, i felt his insecurity, his thoughts. But he's nice, kind and sweet. And first of all, he's sincere with others.
Let's return at the review... so. Ah, alright. I enjoyed this anime a lot. Colourful, full of romance, stories and laughs.
As with Yamato... well, she's a great girl. And the anime focus on Taeko more than her. Although she's a fantastic girl. Full of sweet and love and cute things. (Classic shoujo main female character).
Side characters are ok. All were fine!
Art and sound were ok too. Shoujo anime tend to be more colourful and this one makes not exception. Sounds too were more... cute and soft.
So i enjoyed this anime a lot! Full 8 for it!
(I'll spend some few words for Sunakawa: he's great. A golden friend. He's always on Taeko's side and i think he will always be.)

Ok, i liked the first season but this one... was a little disappointing.
First of all, the main characters. Aoi and Kaoru. The anime revolves on this two, but this time, they were pushed in the back for the side characters. I pretty much didn't like this thing.
When i first started to watch AYA Enishi, i was expecting an evolution of the relationship between Aoi and Kaoru. But that's was only a far far dream in my head (and heart). This season instead focused on the other girls of the house.
In twelve episodes (plus one OAV) Aoi and Kaoru basically don't do anything
...
special or important. They are like two years ago (in the serie). The relationship doesn't go forward, not one step.
That's why i had to pick a 6 this time. That's not a second season, that's more like a serie of OAV that shows the other girls' life with Kaoru.
And, obviously, the enjoyment dropped going on episode after episode. I watched the last two-three episodes bored and tired. "Come on, next one will be better! Aoi and Kaoru will finally go over this time!" Even if their relationship was accepted, even if Miyabi was with them... nothing important happened. Ah, disappoint.
Neither a happy, funny character like Tina was able to recover this time.
Story 6: not so much different from the first season, maybe even worse without all the family story.
Art 6: 2003 anime, not much to say.
Sound 7: i liked the soundtrack, especially the second ending song "Presence". Voice and other sound were good.
Character 6: here too, no differences from the previous season. A little development maybe, but that's not enough.
Enjoyment 5: went down when I begun to realize that the main story would not go where i expected (Kaoru x Aoi).
Overall 6: yes, Tina and the others had the chanche to show their feelings to Kaoru. Enishi means "bonds togheter" but that's too much. Maybe with more episodes...

So... let's write this review!
Ah! My Goddess (english name of Aa! Megami-sama!) is a good anime. I enjoyed watching it a lot. At first it seems that the anime begin to low down after 5-6 episodes but then... Boom! It comes in one shot! Sketches, humor, romance, characters, story, everything seems to gain speed! And from the 9-10th episode to the end it goes up reaching its climax at the end. But... it is not very... "effective", i don't know how to say it. In short terms, it is sure that the anime gain speed and more and more events go through the screen
...
but... it's all in a slow paced style. But this is not a flaw, don't misunderstand what i'm saying. Is the anime pace that is quite slow and calm. And when you finally pair up with its rythm, then you begin to enjoy it.
Story 7: The story is very catchy and after the half of the anime it goes through romance more than the beginning. It's quite enjoyable.
Art/Sound 7/6: On the art i've nothing to say. It's a 2005 anime, and to say it all, it's quite good. The sound... well, it's good but not very good. At some times you can hear some strange noises (especially when the characters shout). Music and others sounds are fair, not wonderful but they're ok, i guess.
Character 8: This is the very good part of the anime. The characters are all well made (even the villain, Marller). Urd and Skuld are fantastic, and as well Keiichi and Belldandy (but, to be honest, i prefer Urd and Skuld, but that's my preference). Even the secondary characters are well made (Otaki and Tamiya are too funny, and Otaki remember me Vash from Trigun for the glasses and the hairs):
Enjoyment 7: As i said, i enjoyed this anime. It goes at first a bit slow but then it gain speed and take the viewer on the roller coaster of the romance between the two main character. And with all the side characters it become even more enjoyable!
Overall 7: Then, in short words, Aa! Megami-sama is a good anime, with great characters and a good story. It is worth watching.

Hmmm... what can i say? Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun (GSNK from now) is a quite enjoyable anime without too many expectations. It does its job right.
STORY 7: simple, direct, without any major problems. GSNK run through 12 episodes so fast that you wont notice. It goes like water... And maybe this could be a problem (a minor one though). It could seem that the story runs too fast to handle all the sub-stories that come to the screen but, i think, that its job is to take all these stories lightly, without drama.
ART/SOUND 6: nothing to say. They,re normal.
CHARACTERS 7: there are 2
...
main characters, 5 side characters and a few others (like 3 or 4). Anyways, all the characters lacks of that deep backround story, past and other things that could make them better... but like i said (wrote) before, the anime is not that type of super-deep drama , so they're fine as they are. No complaints at all. They are the average comedy anime characters.
ENJOYMENT 7: the humor is good, few sketch are hilarious but after a bit they begin to become repetitive and give that taste of "already seen". That's why i picked only a 7. They're good, but not so very good. Normal.
OVERALL: GSNK is an average comedy anime. A full 7 is what it can have. No more, no less. It makes you smile, makes you laugh, makes you think (a bit), makes you cringe and its cute sometimes but... it's average. But, hey! In 12 episodes what did you expect? It does its job, and it does it well!

Okay, this is my first review.
TL:DR= Nichijou is funny, entertaining, colourful and more important it does its job! This anime makes you laugh!
(WARNING: May contain minor spoilers)
Alright, the real review.
STORY 8 : Nichijou hasn't a real story, it simply follows a timeline. The anime go through an entire year and throughout every episode you'll see the season changing. There is a character development, as normal. Anyways, what makes the anime special are that hyperbolic events that in every episode occurs, specially when the characters are Mio or Yukko. These events will make you laugh a lot, because they are normal but exaggerated at
...
the maximum limit. The reactions too are exaggerated. And all that makes the anime story even more better.
ART 8 : the art is... moe. Every character is drawn simply but distinct. The backgrounds, the little interludes in every episode (aside from those with Nano and the prof) are drawn like a camera in a real world. Colors and shades, anyways, are the focus of the anime. Nichijou is colorful and makes you happy.
SOUND 7 : the sound is ok, i guess. Nothing to say. Openings and endings are cute and well made. Voice acting, instead, is gorgeous, specially for Prof Nakamura and Mr. Sakamoto.
CHARACTER 9 : In Nichijou, every character is different from the others, even if the art design is similar. There is the overreacting one, the quiet one and the not-so-normal one. Mio and Yukko are similar, and that could explain why they are best friends, Mai instead seems different but in the end is crazier than the two girls. Nano seems the big sister of the situation but is shy and has some little issues that you will know watching the anime. Professor and Sakamoto are cute, specially the Professor. Every other character, anyways, has a story to tell in this anime, even secondary ones, like Nakanojo (blond punk-like hairs) or Japanese Prof (i dont remember the name, sorry).
So... what can i say? Nichijou is a good anime. It makes you laugh, it makes you giggle, it makes you smile. It's good.
Nichijou is worth a watch, it could light your day with its hyperbolic non-sense everyday events.
