Children of the night, something that always seems to entertain me. This series however, made me fall more in love with series that deal with the Vampires and other supernatural creatures. Something that bugged me was the low rating this seemed to have, naturally an anime that I enjoyed I wanted to write a positive review. So let's get started shall we?

Story: 8/10
The premise of the story deals with the Queen of Vampires, Mina Tepes, and the promise 10 years before the current setting made with the main protagonist Kaburagi Akira. "The Queen who had all the power, and boy who offered her everything." Or ... something like that was the reason this whole story had happened. The two's promise was that Akira would never leave her side, and he'll always have her smile. A little cliche'd but I didn't mind. Now I would have given the story a 10/10 if the plot gave more detail about Mina and the Japanese government. This also dealt with politics, knowing the Japanese were in a huge debt, along with the Bund the queen created to support all the vampires. Sadly they didn't provide much detail, but all in all the story was done quite well.

Art: 10/10
From the get go, I knew the art was done by Shaft, the animators of the Bake and Nisemonogatari. From the odd viewpoints to the realistic characters. What I mean is that the characters anatomy was done closely to realistic ones, unlike those big eye'd stereotypical type of characters. This is what I really enjoyed. Another was the beauty of mixing real pictures along with the anime. Shaft has an unorthodox way of animating things, something that really catches my eye.

Sound: 9/10
The sound was a bit out of the ordinary but not something over the top. The soundtracks played during key moments and the tone fit it as well. Opening and ending songs were something to remember, that also kept me on the positive side of the Sound portion.

Character: 10/10
Primarily, the story mainly focused on the two, Mina Tepes and Kaburagi Akira. The growth the characters have were amazing, the development was much needed for the story and they were done right. Although some side characters stand out, not much development but still important to the story.

Overall: 9/10
For me, I would've gave it a 10/10 but I tried my best to be unbiased for this review. I really enjoyed Dance in the Vampire Bund. I suggest for fans of any supernatural creature fans, romance fans, and action, this is something for you. If not, I highly suggest you try this, you may enjoy this as well :)

As a big fan of Eureka 7 I was looking forward to AO as soon as it was announced. Of course I was anxious and waiting about a month to be let down. Not saying AO is bad, its not as good as the original Eureka 7. If you're a fan it is still a must watch, but don't expect too much, and I'll tell you why in this review.

Story: 7/10
Eureka's son, Ao Fukai, is living in Okinawa. Little does he know he is Eureka's real son. He finds out a lot about himself as the series introduces scub coral and Secrets. After learning about ... these he gets sucked into chaos, fighting with his IFO, or Nirvash, together they uncover the mysteries of why he is there on Earth rather than where the original Eureka 7 took place many years in the future.

Art: 9/10
The art was beautiful in a sense that we get to see IFO fights clearly. Backgrounds are very unique. The same character designs but with different people. The art was probably the strong point in AO.

Sound: 7/10
The Ost's didn't really stand out. It sounded a bit recycled. Nonetheless, Flow does it again with BravBlue as the 2nd opening. Probably the only thing I cared for listening to.

Enjoyment & Overall: 7/10
It was good. Not great, not terrible, just good. Although many of the fans of Eureka 7 were expecting AO to be magnificent and even better than the original . It was not. But I still enjoyed AO, good mech fights. But lacking a love story. Really wished for a love story.. To sum things up, this series is a must watch for those Eureka 7 fans, just don't be expecting anything in particular.

If you're looking for girls, fan service, a light hearted action story, and friendship. You're in the right place, if not I suggest this anime isn't for you.

Story: 7/10
The story sounded interesting as I read the synopsis. It is unique in it's own way, battling aliens with striker units. But the catch is you have to be a witch, and the most important one, no pants. You would think when fighting aliens the story would be full of sadness. Not for Strike Witches as the anime itself is a light-hearted anime story.

Art: 9/10
The art was a strong point for Strike Witches. Judging when this ... anime came out the animation seems to be ahead of it's time. Not really any noticeable 3-D scenes. All characters have their key differences so you know who's who. And when they have their battles you can really sit back and enjoy the fan service and girls kicking alien ass.

Sound: 7/10
The sound was good at the most. Not really any special things to point out, nor are they're any bad things to point out. The one thing was the timing when the soundtracks played, it was timed nicely to fit that certain moment.

Character: 9/10
They give all the characters some background so you know what has gone on in their lives and how they are now. They're is some development here and there for the sides but for the main her development had gone up sky high throughout the series. The characters were a major plus for this series.

Enjoyment: 9/10
I enjoyed this series overall, seeing the power of friendship brings me joy. Every once in awhile I need an anime like this, some comedy, love, fan service. The characters did not disappoint, they brought when they needed to, to the table when ever they were called upon. Over all the series was just plain fun.

Overall rating: 8/10

Okay guys, first thing you might say is, "Oh another romance/comedy" kind of anime again. It is, but Toradora! breaks the RomCom boundaries and leaves you wanting more. I loved this series, at times it "Aww that was too cute", at times it was like, "Dude pull your head out of your ass." But you know how our teenage times were, especially with something like love. It's hard to expect the majority of people at that age to realize something that's right in front of them. But enough of my blabbering on, let's go on to the review!

Story: 8/10
The story was fairly simple. I won't ... really get into the story as the synopsis is right above us. But our main character Ryuuji meets Taiga. Ryuuji likes Taiga's friend and vice versa with Taiga likes Ryuuji's friend. From there, there's drama, romance, comedy, and much more! Too put it simply, it was a 25 episode roller coaster of feelings circulating between five of the main characters.

Art: 8/10
The art wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst. It didn't bother me while I watched. The art was different in a sense from all the different animes out there. There weren't really any negatives about the art either.

Sound: 10/10
I absolutely loved the soundtrack from Toradora! From the two op's to the two endings. It was beautiful. Throughout the whole series the soundtracks that played really fit the moment. It was a variety of different soundtracks to extremely up-beat to very depressing. The sound for Toradora! was amazing.

Character: 10/10
The characters were magnificent. Even though not all were likable (In my eyes) the characters were carefully thought out. On one you have the bully of the school, Taiga. Ryuuiji, with the eyes of a delinquent but he's really not. The three others I won't explain, I feel it would spoil the story for some. The development was also magnificent, from start to finish they all get to show their true colors. This series even proves you wrong from first impressions. Overall, the characters were the strong point of this anime.

Enjoyment: 10/10
Loved this anime, even wanting more after the 25 episode run. It entertained me throughout the entire series. The feelings you can relate to because they're all what we felt before. Jealousy, rejection, happiness, etc., all get to you. The series it flat-out entertaining if you love Romance/Comedy genres. To the people who really don't like that genre, Toradora! will probably change your mind about that. Enjoyed this anime 100%.

I suggest everyone give it a try if you haven't already :)
