I really must say that while i like Berserk i am disapointed. Story follows the manga ok, maybe notin perfect way but still following it, however animation, even animation rom original series, first season if you want, which was from 1997 was far better then this from 2016. Its clear that they used CGI and not really quality one but cheap one. Music is weird but it actually is good for the setting. Characters, well they are not perfect either but they do follow the story and i do like some of the new characters. I cannot really say much against the show except that ... animation is bad. Still despite the haters and that, i am glad we got at least something. Although it would be nice if we get new clean reboot. Do i recommended. If you are fan of Berserk, well try it for yourself, to me, i would say is good and its bad.

Where to start it. Story i guess?
If you want some action or fast stories look somwhere else, Aria is not that. It is kind and gentle story that will slowly lead you into the magnificent Neo Venice. It is relaxing and i really can say amazing story.

Both art and sound are good, relaxing to eye and ears and that is all i will say.
Characters. There is tons of series where many even main characters were forgottable, boring, even annoying. That is not case here. Each character is unique and all of them you will remember for long. From three fairies Alicia (my personal ... favorite), Akira and Athena which were all different, to the main characters Akari, Aika and Alice. Each of them different, unique, loveable. You will never feel any of them boring or annoying. To the rest of the characters of course.

I enjoyed watching this series. It was one of few series that ever make me cry but again i was happy for our main characters. "Life goes on, time do not stop but moves all the time. Cherrish those around you and cherrish your time with them"
I feeled happiness and sadness together with characters in Aria like i was there. I am glad i watch this series. As a manga collector, i am also glad and proud to have all the volumes of Aria the masterpiece and while i do not collect blue-rays (Anime) i have all of Aria. This is very special series and i deeply recommend everyone to watch it. It may be boring if you didn't use to this kind of series but i guarantee you will enjoy. Please watch.

Okay, thanks to fact that some moderators didnt like the last review and they delete it (rude), i was forced to write it again, this time with little bit more details and less spoilers, we dont want to upset our dear moderators again:), however if you watch the series and you want to write what you think about it even if contains the spoilers, you should. After all i get more spoilers from other parts for every series and yet i watch it, but anyways Astra Lost in Space.

This is one of series that was in my wishlist since it was first published, but ... i never actually get manga, and after hearing there will be a anime, i decide to wait.

Story:
The basic premise, where you have bunch of kids get lost on their camp trip was well boring as hell but it was in space so i guess, it may be interesting, and it did. While story is slow and do not give to much details during first few episodes, where you have more questions then answers, plot moved with each episode, revealing more and more, by the 11-12 epsidoes everything finally have sense. There is few clues during the series which should give you clues whats going on.
I wont enter to deeply into story, since it would contain spoilers.
Art:
Beautiful and well done. I definitly can say that and i believe that is all needed. It is visually nice, Lerche studio really did great job with this series.

Sound: Quite good, and keep you on edge. thats all i could say.
Characters: Unique and well created, they are not animated in way that all look like eggs, like in some anime series, they are all unique in apperanace and behavior.
Enjoyment and overall: To say i didn't enjoy this series would be lie, i did, it keep me on from first to last episode since it is good, not near good as some other series like Black Lagoon, One Piece... but in its own way very good.

I like it, and i recommend it, it is not waste of time. After all its only 12 episodes. Definitly try and enjoy it. Taking that story is well made and will go in way you don't expect (if you didnt read manga, and you are new to it). I hope to see season 2, however taking that anime covers all 5 of volumes somehow i doubt. Nevertheless it is good series.

So where to start.
Il keep short as possible.
At the beginning i guess. I was surprised how good this series is from the start. While story is slightly weak at some points its good in overall enjoyment. I got hungry after each episode:) thats how powerful it is:)

I can only say that art is magnificent. I love it and would not want it to change.

Sound quality is also very good from in kitchen (cooking) sounds, to the soundtrack.
Characters are probably the strongest part of this series, we have large plethora of characters, all different.

Overall enjoyment is 10 of 10 i really like ... it and i recommend it. Food Wars is definitely one of better animes i watch recently and i will get myself manga as well.

The Promised Neverland is one of series that i actually come across by watching reviews for manga on Youtube.

Is there difference between the manga and anime version, yes few, but anime was done quite well that you do not notice those changes.

Story is not changed much and progress nicely, its not slow or fast. Be advised that this 12 episodes cover only first 4 volumes (and first part of 5th one). But they did it great.
Art is quite good, i was surprised. From house and forrests to characters, they bring everything into life with style they used. There is no lose of ... quality in it, from 1 to 12th episode it was great.
They did quite well with sound and there was intense moments (more then one) where sound did a great job. One thing i really like in The Promised Neverland is characters. Characters were beautifully done, especially Norman, Emma, Ray and Isabella. While Isabella may be seen as antagonist in the series, she is same as those kids and she of course know much more then kids did. I fully understand her actions, and no matter how you would see it as bad, she did everything to give those kids best lives she could. All other characters were quite okay.
I did enjoy this series, loved the manga and love the anime. It is beautifully done. Not all anime adaptations end to be good. I find strange that they chose female voice actors for Norman and Ray. Ok maybe it work for Norman but for Ray no. Mariya Ise did good job with Ray, but on some points her more girly voice appears although for short moments. So it would be better if male actor was chosen like for Don.

Is it worth to watch?, Yeah, if you like manga, you will probably like anime adaptation as well. Taking also that second season is to be released in 2020 (which is probably to cover rest of volume 5 and up to volumes 8-9) i guess we can even think of season 3 in future. It is excellent series and worth to watch and read.

So after watching all 12 episodes, i decide to write a review. Where to start?

I watch original LOGH, all 110 episodes plus movies. I really like it, it was a bit slow paced but it really didn't matter since it was quite well done that i cant find anything against. It was true space opera, better in my opinion even then StarWars.

New Thesis, hm, i somehow loved those ships in original, but redesigned ones here in NT were not bad, overall animation, characters and ships were quite good here, but story is fast paced. To fast. They compress original twenty six episodes of first ... season into one season of twelve. It is to fast, they didn't add all details, they couldn't it was simply to small number of episodes to do so. They didn't make more individual episodes. New Thesis to me is to rushed, to fast paced. Because that i will say only 7 for the story. Art was amazing, really like it pure 10. Sound, OST was good, quite good, but that was to be expected from music magician Sawano Hiroyuki. Characters, they okay, something missing from some of the characters but overal Wen-li and Rheinard were excellently done. I did enjoy this reboot, but i wish it follow older format of its predcessor. If they add 24 episodes instead 12 it would be better, as more details and story could be add but well. New Thesis was still ok., i cannot give it 10, since i really like old one, but 9 is more then enough for this new version. Hope to see second season soon.

So, i decided to write a review of Last Exile: Fam the Silver wing after re-watching it. Despite some reviews here that makes this anime bad, i must disagree.
While i didn't really like Last Exile (at least not first episodes) since it was boring to me, however by the mid and end i really like it. Story of the Fam the Silver Wing is set several years later on Earth, it introduce many new characters and i will say story was well written.
Fam the Silver wing will make you laugh but will also make you cry. Combined with emotional music everyone who are ... kind hearted may cry, there is no shame in it, especially if you had some tragedy in your life and lose someone dear to you, some moments in this anime may trigger emotional response (do not hold it, just let it be).
Art is fantastic, slightly better then original, i will not say much since i really like it.
Sound, i love it, far better then original, ending song is very emotional, especially when added to sad scenes.
Characters, i love characters of the Fam the Silver wing, especially Fam, Giselle, but also Dio, and others. I wont write much because if i do it would take to long, but characters were well created and i really like them.
Enjoyment and overall, there was few moments were i had tears in my eyes, and i usually not cry for any anime or movie, but emotional pressure was big. It has good message, that we all should live together in peace instead in war. That war for stupid reason will not bring us anywhere. One world, one nation, one species. Unfortunately it is hardly that this will ever be in real world. But at least i could say that Fam the Silver wing have very good point, very good story, and i really recomend it.

I had this series in my "plan to watch" section for long time and every time some other anime took place for watching, i finally start watching it and i didn't regret it,

i like characters a lot, they are very well designed and have good back story, i was very shocked when Euphy order killing of innocent people, although i know its was not her's fault or Lelouch's, it was fault of that damn child V.V who manipulated all this things at the end. I was sad when Zero/leluch was forced to kill his sister, because i saw Euphy as a bright star ... in the series.

Zero/Leluch, it is understandable that he fight to avenge his killed mother and his sister which end crippled due stress and injury, but his power of manipulation (i dont mean on GEASS) to use everyone for its own causes and care less for everyone is something that make me dislike him. Yes he had his own personal reasons but that doesnt mean he can play with everyone else lives.

However i did understand later. Massive super power like Britannia, i doubt it would ever be possible that in our real world such power exist. Every country that came to point where it grow in size and power to much eventually falls. This happens many times in our history and probably it will happen again.

I really like knightmares, most definitely well armed and maneuverable mech can beat MBT without much problem. Once when we create our first mechs, MBT will really be obsolete.

Lancelot is probably one of best mech at the beginning of this series, but even with Suzuku briliant use of it, it is not invincible. He is shown to be great annoyance to Zero and black knights.

Knightmares were probably best part in this series although i would say that their designs are in some way funny. Especially cockpit section which is the weakest part of them.

I cannot give 10 to this but 9 is more then good. I am glad that i watch it and also that 3th season is in making
Recommending this

As many people here said and other anime sites, this series is probably funded by Japanese military. Clearly an modern military can defeat medieval forces without problems. However it is all about JSDF and Japan, while other countries look like jealous noobs. Ok, first GATE open in Japan, Japan been attacked, and then send expedition forces, ok i understand that, if the series is in US or any other country it would be the same.

Propaganda or not, i like this series, but even as i love characters, i cannot give it more then 8,

I hope that there will be third season, or real second ... season whatever, it deserve more, but i hope that more countries will be present this time.

If this is real world, a gate open in Japan, everyone would demand piece of a cake, and Japan itself would not be able to hold it from other countries, or would face a war. But in anime everything is possible. Now i may been critical, and negative, but i can say i was fair and correct, the series was well made, art, sound, and especially characters i like, story is well, shaky, but its good enough and deserve another season (or two). lets hope we see it.

So what to say: not bad, its shame there is no more but well.

Ben-To is excellent anime, at first i didn't understand why the all fuss about half priced stuff. But later i did understand. In world where you earn less, but expenses are great, half priced food is very appreciated. I love Bento, and i learn to make several different types of Bento myself, but of course ingredients still cost money,

I like the humor in this show, especially perverted one between Satou and that crazy perverted guard with batteries. The last scene where he show four large batteries , i laugh ... so much that it hurts.

Again i love this anime, it is shame there is no second season, but voice actors really did their job well, Emiri Katou, Hiro Shimono, Yui Horie and rest really did their best.
Do i recommend this for watching, yes i do. Although i like it, i give it 8, because its to short and some smaller things i didn't really like.
