The title was interesting, and I had not heard of the anime before, so I gave it a shot.
Hitsugi no Chaika is wrapped in a compelling world and magic system, but don't think you're getting any answers. For everything that you find out, a few unknown variables pop up, continuously adding to the questions left unanswered. A lot of potential, just not enough.
The art is pretty crisp and nice, and I enjoy all the character designs and the semi steampunk/ old world vibe. Even some of the fight scenes are badass, flowing and intricate, though others are lacking and seem a bit slow. The

Kaze no Stigma
(Anime)
add
A friend highly recommended Kaze no Stigma to me one day, so I finally got around to watching it. While it was entertaining, I was disappointed with the anime as a whole. It didn't match up to the high recommendation I had received. However, I do appreciate the fun, entertaining aspect.

The story is very different, combining mechs, comedy, a post-apocalyptic feel, romance, action... it is so diverse. The sense of personality that each of the characters had gave me a connection to them. They felt so real, and I genuinely cared about what happened to them. I also love the art style!

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
(Anime)
add
I have watched the entire collection of Higurashi titles, and thoroughly enjoyed all of it. This original season, however, is my favorite. There are so many twists and turns. Very unpredictable, and I love that. It will definitely keep your attention.
The art is not perfect, but I believe that it fits well. I especially love the facial animations for when one of the cute characters is going on a murderous rampage. I never imagined that this anime would become one of my top 5 favorites, I didn't expect that from a gory show. The story, along with the characters (and gore), made this to ... |
