Koukyoushihen Eureka Seven (Anime) add

Mixed Feelings

Emos ! We've all heard of them! We've listened to their music, we've heard of their ridiculous /wrist attitude and we've made fun of it! Now they're here trying to save the anime 2d world fighting with mechas and spaceships.

I'll start by commenting the two most important aspects of any anime. The characters and the story. The word that fits best the characters is the word i used to start this review. EMO! And what exactly defines an emo character you might ask. Well here is a rough description of emos :

"Complete idiots. So called "emotionals" often attempt to get depressed ... about anything and everything and over react emotionally for no reason other than to be attention whores. They wear their hair down over their face, often looking like it was used to wipe someones butt, or so we assume form the attendant acne that most have because they don't shower. Probably because showering makes them sad that it's wate that the fish could have, or that they can't take their camera in with them or it will be broken so they can't express the emotions that the moving water swells up inside of them with it's radient beauty. Rightfully they feel that every thinks they suck. This is because they do, but only because they have brought it on themselves. Had they not been emo we wouldn't make fun of them. Despite this, an that fact that they're not, they tend to think of themselves as hardcore and so can cop an attitude when they finally stop crying about how much the world hates them. Usually about how much better they are than everyone because they understand the emotional side of things and we "don't". they dress in drag and so are usually made fun of for being gay. Cause they are."
This describes exactly their attitude. To be honest the anime doesn't start like that. The first episodes look much better than the rest. The characters are introduced nicely and they look fun and interesting. However after around 13-15 episodes there's a dramatic change of mood and everything gets screwed up badly. The anime from being light and fun turns to an over-dramatic tragedy. The characters start to fit the "emo" description more and more with each episode. Their irrational behavior, their way of over-reacting even for the most simple thing becomes ridiculous even annoying.
The word "pathetic" kept circling my mind the whole time and i was abit surprised to find out that it's the word that's used for the rating "1".
Fitting...

The story was almost equally bad. I'm not sure if i was supposed to know more about E7's world by reading some manga or novel before, but for a newcomer like me it made little sense. There were gaping plot holes. I kept saying "whatever" episode after episode. There's simply no logic behind the weather effects in this world. I never understood what exactly where those waves or how exactly the lifting worked and many other things including the mechas, the aliens etc. Maybe if i watched it a second time i could find some more explanations. But it was so uninteresting and so dull that i would do this only if i was payed good.

The redeeming features of this anime are the music and art. Both are great. The fighting sequences are nice and the animation is flowing. Spaceship models etc are nice. Artistically everything looks and sounds awesome. Too bad that's not enough to make up for the pathetic characters and the story.

Overall : I enjoyed the first 15 episodes. I was very happy there were 50 in total and couldn't wait to see how would the story and the characters evolve. I almost dropped it around episode 40. I took a huge break from 40 to 50. Gathered all my courage and finished it just to be able to write my opinion on this. Some people seem to have enjoyed this thoroughly. Personally i didn't. Feelings of anger and boredom overwhelmed me while watching it.
I the end i suppose it's up to each individual to decide whether to watch it or not. Iif it's an amazing anime or not.

Hitohira (Anime) add

Hitohira! What a beautiful surprise it was! Sometimes having low expectations is the key to enjoy something even more. Maybe that was the case for me or maybe it was that this "little" anime is really nice! In any case here is my review on it :

Concerning the Story & Characters

The story is simple and straightforward but at the same time engaging. There aren't any really complicated situations or unexpected turnarounds or something like that. It's not over-dramatic either. However it never feels shallow or boring. There's a nice progression overall and 12 episodes felt exactly right. Not too long or too short.

Air (Anime) add

Not Recommended

I've never wrote a review before but after watching Air i felt like warning those who haven't.
Mind you, i'm not a hater of this genre. On the contrary i loved Clannad , Canon etc. So it's not like i'm biased against it or something.

Concerning the Story and the Characters

For me story and characters are 95% of an anime. If those are great then the anime is a certain winner. If those suck, no matter how great the art or the sound the anime is gonna suck too.
Here we have incoherent story-telling, with the story itself being quite confusing. Several points of the ...
