well u know how all the foreplay and teasing can sometimes bore u out....
I mean for an anime with 12 episodes 85 % of it is goblin slaying to be put bluntly....
so why do i give it such a high rating.....

well like the anime i wont get to the point immediately :D

story:8
if put basically it is an anime that focuses on people stuck on a vmmorpg without knowing how they were put there..... Heard of it somewhere before?
yuss it will make u sleep in the first half... i mean can u see how many people dropped it at ep4... like ppl who drop girls bcuz ... they play hard to get an find them not worth it.. However doing so they fail to see the beauty of the girl underneath that wall, the spectacle beyond that spectacular spectacles....
it is slow, but there is a meaning behind it, no its not ur op characters without the struggle, but the deaths u face when u r beggining ur rpg journey and with no experiencce face constant failure, when u have no exp so no party wants u.
when u have no gold so u buy of cheap items, and overuse ur spells without realizing the consequences,.... hmm nemore and i will have to put a spoiler alert....

art:7
so the background is basically a painting well most of it and the endings a portrait. so sometimes it does seem a bit abstract,,, not a bad theme by any means..... not an art expert so my dictionary is too stressed to describe it

Characters:7
The characters some of them are cliche fanservice oriented overly sexualized and if the character looks dull then contact light yagami...
Character development is a trait that is hard to get right in the current anime market but this one does not put a dent in this department..

Sound:8
well i liked it. thats all i can say.. Not an expert musician..

enjoyment:8
well it start up slow... i mean like snail slow..
u basically fall asleep. just look at how many of them dropped it.
However if u r patient enough u will be paid enough.. Fortunately i was one of those. I to fell asleep, droped it, rewatched it, painstakingly stuck with it and finally reaped its reward.
At the end of the day i was smiling with a stupid look on my face.

Overall:8
Too bored with all his problems,all her emotional drama and the uncertainity over the future, but u find out that at the end of the day it was all worth it.

Takahashi, Rumiko if you are new to her then you will most likely enjoy it but if you are not then this review is for you.

Story:6
It is all been there done that. Nothing new here..
For Takahashi, Rumiko.. The writer of Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha... It is a spin-off of her previous art work..
The anime is supposed to be lighthearted Rom-Com supernatural.. If you are looking for a bit of drama/love triangle/unrequited love then this is not an anime for you. Again it's either a hit or a miss depending upon your taste.


Similarities with Inuyasha
If you haven't got the hint of where I am going then, ... the anime adapts the setting of Inuyasha where the pair travel to the other world to solve the problems ..In this case supernatural occurrences. The boy is a well practiced Shinigami with little to no cash at all and the girl gradually learning about her abilities. The boy doesn't want to put the lady in danger but has no choice because as powerful as he maybe, he is pretty much useless without her.

Similarities with Ranma 1/2
As the character and love development is extremely low to none at all for the source material nearly boasting about 200 chapters . The anime does not have a clear ambitious goal or any note worthy antagonist. It can work for you as it is mainly light humor with a bonus of slight hints of romance. With some light heart-ed random jokes and mischief with the MC trying to be humorous in a serious tone or pitying his dilemma.


Art:7
Nothing note worthy and is not the prospect of the anime that attracts you.
Well compared to its ancestors the art work is graphically better but rest of the setting is the same. If you set Fate/Zero or other recent anime as your benchmark then you will be left disappointed. If you love combination of bright and multi-colored abstract background[[Like No game No life]] then you will find it note worthy but apart from that it leaves you tasteless..

Sound:8
A combination of traditional Chinese and modern music it. It is listenable but nothing extra ordinary that leaves you with chills or even gets you motivated. The Music is contemporary and constant with a random buzz and fizz in funny moments.

Character
Well the MC is not your stubborn obnoxious muscle brain character but your dependable but a bit jealous and sometimes childish.
In the recent trend of Tsundere/Moe/Kawaii MC heroine it was a pretty bold move to create a unfathomable character with little detail.. A dialed down personality who has little expression and a constant voice tone.

Enjoyment:7
I was left disappointed because all the author did was combine her previous works but if you are new to her then you will may well enjoy it.. Its a classic shonen where you complete your quest and in the meanwhile help your damsel in distress..

Overall:7
The story is well paced and the concept is easy to grasp and easy to follow but brings nothing new to the table. It has its ups and down, it can be your anime to watch when nothing is on your plan but not your daily cup of tea which you would wait around for its next release...
Though it is fun to watch for a while and a joy ride, but with a lack of clear plot if dragged to long can be a big hit or a miss but no middle. It seems unlikely to get 100+ episodes with its intended 25 as was the case in Ranma 1/2 which could have been crowned epic, but the same jokes get tasteless and hence was left off incomplete compared to its source at episode 161 and some ova.
The anime combines her previous work so maybe its not all dim and dark if they add something new to it as well..


Some people do find its humor intriguing but fear of it being left off in the middle as the same loop gets repeated and ultimately start losing their interest.

Let me get straight to the point...
Only sasuke sakura fanboy/girl would find it worth watching...

Reason:It does nothing else but..

Expectation: The Next gen.. Wow what abilities, what personalities? What quirks....?

Outcome: Justify Sakura character, Give her a reason To be the MVP.. Give her a happy family with a bit of feelings for her with Sasuke having to leave for a mission...
All the villains are just to feed Sasuke , Sakura love story and Sarada feel good....
The antagonists almost defeats the Op Naruto leaving him licking his wounds with everybody lamenting how weak he has become and Then comes the Mvp....
...
Enough with the hate

Here comes the final ratings

Varies on what you wanted from the series

Overall:5
No comments.. Judge yourself

If I have to summarize it in one line then it would be "If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick." or "I am not lazy. I'm just too tired to show you how smart I am".

A tasteful blend of comedy, mystery, and clever play of words that leaves you wishing if only if it was an anime that was based on your life. The story is not by any means far fetched...(maybe jusssssssttttt a little, but its okay). It makes you feel a bit witty even though you already are :D

The anime revolves ... around Oreki solving Chitanda's curiosity and...........

Watch it yourself
I just wanted to write a short review because I wanted to watch it again before writing anything concrete.
However I think this is not an anime you should be skipping.
Give it a shot i mean aren't you all tired of the same old stereotypical anime and want a bit of fresh air.

If you are looking for a comedy joy ride with a non stop heart stopping, stomach aching laughter then this is a masterpiece for you. One of the anime's you would recommend your friend to start their journey of anime with. The dynamic duo of Akihisa and Yuuji can be regarded as one of the best in business with Yuuji the once held child prodigy and Akihisa what we call a battle hardened tube light.
This anime revolves around Akihisa who has been outcast-ed to the worst academic class in the school for bad grades and his struggle to get his childhood friend Himeji to ... the best facilitated class. While trying his best Akihisa always gets dragged to situations where he most likely be misunderstood or dragged through pain in mischievous use of inspirational words from his long time friend Yuuji. Once held as a child prodigy Yuuji always finds ways to dump the hard and painful tasks to the less brighter Akhissa who does not have a knack for reading the situation. Together they challenge the elite classes for exchange of their facility.
Even having Several other characters in this anime does not seem out of place , with each bringing out their own personalities and a unique flavor with each episode better than the other. Simply put you can find no characters put in light to drag the anime.
The story development and the long term plan of Yuuji is the one to watch out for. With slight hints of romance and as usual a stupid Mc when it comes to love hints this anime is what hurts you cheeks the most and if you are watching the anime without letting your parents know about it then you should avoid it as it is a herculean task to stop that teeth of yours from sparkling...........

I am going to be brutally honest here. If you have watched the first season then i would not recommend it as it only puts sour to the beautifully crafted first season. A far-cry from it's prequel, the anime focuses less on the instantly Op'd MC then on a character that seems to have a pretty dull and a dual character. While it has some moments of its sparks, the anime split in two arc's seems to be a mixture of log horizon and tales of the abyss with no blood boiling story line.
While the character development is something to look out for, the base ... setting seems to have too dark of a setting with not the same story line.
If you are looking for some screen time for the MC or a relationship development is definitely one to skip but maybe I am being too partial as for the anticipation i had after the first season.
However it has some early glimpses of being an upliftment the story never does take off and only deteriorates further down the episodes.
The new antagonist however does bring something new in the table in the first arc even though as one would suspect of twisted logic and intentions. With some light humour and certain wow factors present it does help to land some pillows for its downfall. The Mother rosario arc Focusing on Asuna only her die hard fans would find it watchable.
Overall: Watch it only if you have nothing else on mind as it does have 4 or 5 wow episodes in the midst of hmm i know where this is going.
