I was still pretty new to anime when I started watching SKET Dance, but it really got me hooked on Slice of Life anime. It makes me laugh and cry. The plot mostly changes episode to episode, but there is some continuous plotline going on. I love this anime and I feel it deserves to get more recognition!
Story: 9/10
The series follows three teenagers: Bossun, Switch and Himeko; who run a school club. The club, called SKET Dan, is for helping people with any problems. Whatever it is, the SKET Dan will be there to help!
Each episode follows the SKET Dan helping a different
...
person, whether student or teacher. Sometimes there are special episodes, usually at the end of each season, showing more about the main characters' backgrounds.
Art: 8/10
The art in SKET Dance is a simple shounen style. Nothing flowery, but all the same very well drawn. The style perfectly fits with the series.
One thing I like is how Bossun pulls a hilarious embarrassed face! If anything you should watch the show just for that!
Sound: 8/10
There have been a lot of episodes of SKET Dance, and therefore, a lot of opening and ending songs. So far my favourites have been, 'Comic Sonic,' by 'The Pillows,' which was ending song 1; and, 'Graffiti,' by, 'GACKT,' which was opening song 3.
Another good thing for fans of Japanese music is that J-Rock singer GACKT voice acts for a guest character!
The other music in the show is quite catchy, but can become annoying after a while.
Character: 9/10
The characters in this show are amazing! From otaku geek Switch, to Samurai obsessed Shinzou, all the characters are wacky and fun.
One of the things I love about this show is the utter craziness of the characters. I also like how some seem to represent stereotypes!
There's a lot of sadness behind the main characters, as you find in the episodes about their pasts.
Enjoyment: 9/10
This series is mostly a comedy, and it's very easy to get into! The plotline isn't serious, so I'd watch it maybe when you need a break from a deep series. If you're an otaku, you'll notice a lot of references to anime and games!
Overall: 9/10
I love this show! I think you should definately watch it! The stories and charcters are hilarious, and it's great fun to watch. If you feel down, this is a great anime!
Again, I hope you enjoyed my review. I tried to keep it short and sweet! If you have any comments, please feel free to tell me your views!
Thanks for reading!!!!

Princess Resurrection was the first anime I ever watched! I really liked the manga and so I gave the show a try. I have watched the entire series. I found it to be really fun and enjoyable, however, sometimes I felt there wasn't much of a continuous plot going on.
Story: 7/10
The series follows a teenager called Hiro who becomes a warrior for Princess Hime after she resurrects him with her flame of life. It's now his job to protect her. The plot in the series follows Hime's family's attempts to kill her, and how she, Hiro and their friends, a werewolf called Riza
...
and vampire called Reiri, thwart said plans. I won't go into more than that so as not to spoil it.
One thing I felt was that a lot of the episodes were fillers; I'm not saying this is totally a bad thing as it keeps the series going on for longer. However, it makes the plot a little more sparse in this series. If you like series that have a continuous plotline then you may not enjoy this series, but if you like storiess that just last for the one episode, you'll like this.
Another thing was that the plot was kinda repetitive. Each week an enemy or sibling of Hime would try to kill her. The gang would have to thwart the plan. It got a bit irritating for me, so if you dislike reptitiveness, this isn't for you.
That being said, the overall plotline is interesting, and some of the filler episodes are actually really good. The series has its fair share of mythical creatures, vampires, zombies and mummies appear.
Art: 8/10
One of the things that really drew me to this show was the art style. Simple, yet beautiful. Hime is a beautifully drawn princess, not showy but calm and collected, perfectly fitting her character.
I also really love the poor dejected faces Hiro-kun pulls.
Sound: 6/10
I rate this lowest because I didn't like the opening and ending songs. I think they fitted well with the gothic style of the series but I found the Ali Project's voices too high for my taste. Although, I like some of their other songs.
The other bits of music in the series were again, fitting, but nothing special
Though if you like Goth or Classical, the style of music in this show may well appeal to you!
Character: 8/10
I loved all the main characters in Princess Resurrection.
Hime was well developed. She comes across as hard at times but can be very caring. Sometimes her character can be a little boring, though.
Hiro is funny and stupid. However, he can be very annoying as he's supposed to be Hime's protector and yet she always ends up saving him!
Riza is my favourite. She's so badass and cool. She really breaks away from werewolf stereotypes!
Reiri was a fun character. I loved her arguments with Liza.
Enjoyment: 8/10
This series is a lot of fun and it's not too deep, so it's something you can enjoy with out taking it too seriously. It does have some blood in it but I'm 15 and I wasn't bothered by it (and anything upsetting in a show does have an effect on me)
I think anyone who likes supernatural, monster stories will enjoy this series. The action is really good too. I even watched it with my dad (who has no idea what an anime is) and he loved it! If you like comedy, this was really funny at times!
Overall: 7/10
This show is really fun but it sometimes lacks a continuous plot. I'd watch it if you want something easygoing, but not if you want a really interesting continuous plot!
I hope you enjoyed my review! I tried to keep it short, but I hope my feelings got across. This is my first go, and I wasn't really sure what to say, so if you found this unhelpful, please tell me why, so I can improve! Thanks for reading!
