Anime set in a remote village, like so many others.
The protagonist, Keichi, moved here and immediately makes the acquaintance of cinqeu classmates.
Rena and Mion, Satoko and Rika and her peers, much smaller, with which it is combined in a club, where they play and laugh together.
Carefree atmosphere with some nice gags placed here and there, an anime to see to relax well, until it is not mentioned Satoshi Kun, the brother of Satoko, of which it is said that he had moved the year before, but no one He has heard from him.
In addition it seems that five years earlier in the festival night, someone
...
died, and this tragedy is repeated every year.
From that moment on, he will begin a whirlwind of madness, paranoia, restlessness and murders.
The series can be divided into several story arcs, each of four installments, at the end of which the story begins again.
The plot is handled quite well, there are many twists and turns, some of them unexpected and sudden.
The highlight of the anime, however, are the characters, all apparently of happy and carefree boys, which will reveal to have more than one skeleton in the closet.
My absolute favorite was always Rena, a nice girl, kind and often uses classical expressions of Japanese girl as kawaiii, but that hides a very dark past, which gradually will surface.
Mion and Shion are also their two characters full of surprises, especially because, being twins, is not always very clear who you are in front and I'm pretty good at imitating the voice of the other, coming to deceive others.
In addition to the above characters there are others as background very well characterized as Oosihi, detective a year of the pension which is investigating these strange murders and will always be there, a couple of tourists, Tomitake and Takano who are intrigued by the village and its legends, curiosity often very dangerous.
The reason for the main entertainment but are currently creepy, really make you cold sweat capable, I saw him for the first time in fourteen years and not easily forgot Rena fixing the Keiichi room from outside, or Mion that while Keichi is closing the door, I suddenly stopped telling him not to skip school the day successivo.Ho seen several Horror / Thriller, such as "Another", "Mirai Nikki", all very nice, but I think this definitely has something more in what does the paranormal and is only a backdrop to a much more psychological horror, for this reason I have given 10, I think he deserves it.
Anime recommended to all

First I want to split my review into two parts, one that I wrote months ago referred to the first season (without being influenced by the vision of the second season), and my analysis on the second half
First season (I had not yet seen the second part):
Assuming that the vote (10) takes into account the enormous hype caused by a season finale adapted to the great future as compared to the second part of this will be nothing in comparison.
Finally after the horrific souls of Deen, "Fate / Stay Night" is a truly transposition with all the trimmings: the work goes to narrate the first
...
half of the events of the Second Route, "Unlimited Blade Works"; compared to the visual novel are reading added managed by the original author (Kinoko Nasu), many pleasant and some avoidable (too many clues about a plot twist that there will be on the second part).
With regard to animations confirm only a matter of course, nothing short of extraordinary and perfect, unprecedented, the Ufotable proves the best in the industry, this accopagnato by a director who very often will prove both professional and engaging, not counting the really beautiful music and well-aimed.
I prefer not to say too much about the plot in the review, as the basic story in opera is not anything compared to its development (in a story good is meant, though there are exceptions), but even here the premises are intriguing, we He finds himself in an urban fantasy context. Seven selected must fight each other to the grail and each will have its own servant, a historical figure (like Alexander the Great) or mythological (Hercules type) so large as to be reincarnated as a heroic spirit, a powerful "familiar" that may belong to a seven classes, all balanced in Surprising so although there are powerful servant.
What I just described leads to a result, spectacular crashes with a realizazione sublime and comparisons of different skills that will keep the viewer has pasted to the screen; "Fate / Stay Night" is focusing on the battles and believe me when I tell you about this in addition to not be second to none there is not the slightest comparison; even so there will be many quiet parts, no middle or entire episodes devoted to the battle or several bets without a shred of action that carratterizano still very characters and are very accessible thanks to the advancement of the well-kept plot.
If they asked me with a gun at the head of list of the imperfections and to be more critical can probably cite a lightweight script error that I noticed in the prologue (ask for that class is the enemy servant has just shouted it from the rooftops when Rin) and it takes to complain, also a detail of the character design you might not like is the nose of Rin (have it always with you ... and it is the female protagonist of this route), which could be corrected in Blue -Ray, not counting that will improve the already sublime animations (I do not exaggerate in saying that even so is already the anime with the best graphics of the story, for the moment)
The history as well as explaining in detail every aspect of the universe in which it is set in no way loses its base, resulting intressante much as on relationships and on affection of the characters because of developments and interesting topics, in short a complete series that in its right duration becomes a development "slow" in place that creates a lot of waiting for the second part, and it will be them who will elevate "Fate / Stay Night" in what I consider one of the greatest masterpieces.
A first part realized on paper with all the trimmings, however, recommended to anyone, even to those who rightly hated the previous "adaptations" of "Stay Night", this is the only and true souls (possibly gamble the first route, the visual novel, or wait hopeful that Ufotable suited to the souls, the story was conceived in a certain order).
Second season: now I can say, it exceeded all expectations! Withdrawing what I said, you can begin to Make these souls, maybe the 10-episode event seem even adjusted but patience (obviously aware of this), they did so to facilitate viewing for those who come for the first time to the series, thus without using Zero as a reference point (big mistake, you'll understand why considering that what was seen only after all three of the route), you can start from here.
Going back to the second part, each episode is now thick, directing, music and graphics have reached new levels of quality, compared to the first season there was a noticeable leap and themes have their say, with depth and why not also with a spectacular never seen before (or very rarely at this level at least).
Sure, it's not the perfect fit, is not even equal to the Visual Novel, there is some small quibble and it is also true that certain parts present in VN would be good (complete Chant dell'UBW, or the final sentences that were replaced with something equally epic that gives the same effect), but I can confirm that they made up!
All new components improve the product in some respects and some of those already present in the original have been adapted even better, to make examples (I do Spoiler) the end of the episode 20 or the final battle, which is the battle the most beautiful in the history of animation (and I'm not exaggerating), Ufotable did wonders, a few needles in the haystack is definitely overwhelmed by everything else, which I would call excelled.
It is also true that this individual is an incomplete souls, however, only fit a scenario, some characters are put aside but only because the protagonists of the other route, so quiet is normal, I say this because this review will serve both for those who want to see these souls or for those who have already seen it and want infromarsi on certain details.
Despite being a third of the total, that alone limits its potential (and with other scenarios bloom completely) individually it shows an indisputable quality, spectacular battles, the sudden plot developments, but above all by a beautiful message it that was made to perfection (the conquest of themselves), the series will dig on the characters and their ideologies, from what the comparison between their ideal with reality, and how humankind can not bear the weight of their own desires, this melancholy will be topped with a desire to move on ..... get ready to see the beautiful, but also the raw or emotional, but do not force (the consistency is omnipresent in this series, suppur certain parts are difficult to understand, or more precisely analyze is complex, nevertheless even those run as smooth as silk, with a sublime narration, studied but smooth).
Ultimately it is a complete work in many respects, highly recommended more than any other anime is proof that the Japanese animation is not dropped one iota but rather offers us (thank you!) Yet these milestones

E 'was almost an ordeal to wait for the latest installment (output nearly six months after the eleventh episode), but I think it was worth it. "Kekkai Sensen" is a rather bizarre souls who knew how to excite and enthuse in a completely unexpected. A story in the name of the action, fighting and superpowers. A surprising final effect, able to keep attached to the screen from the first minute. Twelve episodes really beautiful, no such significant flaws.
The story begins with the arrival in the city (New York) Leonardo Watch, a seemingly regular guy, which actually hides a great power eyepiece. However, the city is
...
totally different from how we might expect. The world, in fact, had to witness a huge collapse, which resulted in a kind of connection with the world of demons. After the catastrophe, they have sprung the first supernatural beings, enclosed in the city by a powerful barrier of fog. This, in fact, is the only thing that can keep them at bay and contain the advance.
But how to do inside the blanket of fog? Indeed chaos reigns supreme, a world of crime, murders and people rather odd. In the midst of all this Leonardo he finds himself somewhat lost, if it were to be saved by some members of a powerful organization, Libra. This seeks to control at least a basic idea of justice within the city, but cause a lot of trouble.
As souls reminds me very much an intricate story that is "Durarara !!" or "Baccano!" But amplifying the supernatural elements, with many characters who fight each other for control of the city. Each has a special power, but, even more, each has its own character, able to give weight to the series. Among these they are without a doubt Klaus, the head of Libra, White, the girl he falls in love Leonardo, and finally Black, twin brother of the girl just mentioned. As for the other members of the gang, they take their place in the show and try to follow at best the hectic course of events.
Leonardo, however, opens a chapter in itself. From a certain point of view moves to its normality, but, sometimes, you can not help but curse that its uselessness in the face of enemies. He manages to be "cool" in his weakness, and this is something unbearable and unbelievable at the same time.
There will be no sentimental developments, if not a little hint, but this will give the work a further touch of delicacy, so as to make the final effect even more sublime.
It has a terrific graphics and design of the original characters: there is no room for stereotypes, either as regards the character or for their physical appearance. It 'a number dictated by the extravagance and novelty, which gives the whole a touch of freshness. The colors, on the other hand, emphasize even more the various fighting, with sharp tones and scenographic, and with some really exciting flashes.
The opening and ending have remained in the lead for the entire series, and the OST has been able to load the most dramatic moments, caressing the most tender and dramatize scenes more tearjerker. Not to mention the classic sly rhythm that will flutter in all other occasions over this extravagant New York.
For dubbing I have only one criticism: why relegate Miyuki Sawashiro (voice actress Vivian, the blonde bartender of the first episode) to such a secondary role?
The final, which came out well beyond the conclusion of the series, has literally left the audience breathless. Apnea of months, which ended in the best possible way in October 2015. Beautiful? Ugly? I would not know what to say ... for me it's just amazing. An unexpected development that left me entranced. The right dose of drama and good-natured cheer; a graceful mix of action and comedy. I could go on to the sound of adjectives for another page and a half, but maybe it's better to stop here.
There is still much to be said (first of all the issue of phantom vampires), and "Kekkai Sensen" has no place even the word "end" to its misadventures. It 's still early to talk about a second season, but you can never say never.
Final score: 8

Caution: The review contains spoilers
In 2008 Kyoto Animation gives birth "Clannad After Story," lucky after the first anime series based on the homonymous visual novel of Key.
After several arcs that complete the "School Life", that is, the school life of Tomoya and his companions, passing precisely to ' "After Story", which shows us the life of our protagonist, who makes his entrance into society, accompanied by Nagisa, which will become his partner for life.
The first part of the anime, judged by many pretty boring and useless, I have appreciated instead, because retraces almost every route remained in the visual novel, confronting the stories of secondary
...
characters such Sunohara, Misae and Yukine. Will certainly not be very original (for example the story of Misae cat resembles that of "Da Capo" Yoriko), yet they retain the characteristics of Clannad: are quite poignant and engaging and if we pay attention, there are some points important closely related to the main plot.
Instead we pass to the second part of the series, which has meant that "Clannad After Story" deserved a vote rather high: the new work of Tomoya along with Yoshino (which also will know the moving past), its coexistence with Nagisa, now his wife, until her pregnancy, will give us original and exciting moments, without forgetting the characteristic humor of Clannad, full of funny gags (the duo Tomoya / Akio will be lethal pairing).
But it is after the events of a certain incident that the souls I literally glued to the screen, causing it I continued watching until the last episode it all at once. It is in this period that the most sensitive have shed a lot of tears: Clannad After Story is the only series that made me laugh, but above all crying, even after it has been revised for the fourth time, as if it were the first. The nice thing is that the most moving scenes are not those sad, but those in which you pour tears of joy, of course, connected to the element prince of Clannad: the family. The souls, then, reaches its climax in episodes 18 and 19, where we see a great maturation of Tomoya, that recovering the relations with the people most important to him, is able to recover even himself, understand his behavior slightly wrong rebellious teenager and finally become a man.
However, we can not say that this second series is free of defects: the succession of misfortunes and various tearjerker moments glimpse the clear intention of the authors of the audience to tears, with a lot of melancholy flashbacks. But if you really want to go all the way, we understand that certain things happen because they have to happen, because the supernatural element which is connected to the base of the whole story.
Thus we come to the end of the anime, that has caused a lot of indignation: if you wanted to please everyone, you could lock the episodes 19-20, but in order to convey the message that he wanted to give Clannad, reach the pre-set up, then what made it is best for the final. Apart from that coincides with the "True End" of the visual novel, it serves to give meaning to the enigmatic world of illusion, the mechanism of the spheres of light on where Clannad is based, and also to reward our protagonist, who after helping many people and experienced many vicissitudes, has the right to a happy ending as it should. I, on the other hand, I would not accept a different one, because Nagisa is my favorite character, who can be loved due to its tenacity, humility and understanding, qualities that will complete Tomoya and will allow him to keep going. The couple Nagisa / Tomoya is, therefore, one of the best of the anime, which does not need to kiss and stuff like that to show his strength (though, if you are very careful, we understand that there was a kiss) not see them together until the end would have been a bit 'as a defeat.
One of the things (maybe the only?) That I did not like, is that the interpretation that can be given to the final (and therefore to the entire series) is not very certain. There are various theories, all creditable enough, but it is unclear what is the fairest. Even the meaning of the sheep of the illusory world, or the role that Fuko has all the souls do not seem of little importance: already suffered the starfish has a task and fundamental skills and his appearance in the last episode seems tutt 'nothing but useless. I must say that all these connections have a something fascinating, though shrouded in mystery.
Turning to the technical side, nothing to complain about: really beautiful designs and also improved animations that show the characters 'actions in great detail, as only Kyoto Animation can do, and of course a perfect soundtrack: If you regret a little' the ending "Dango Daikazoku", one can not but appreciate the wonderful opening "Toki wo Kizamu Uta," which, like Clannad occupies the 1st place in my Top 10 of souls, is in first place in the Top 10 of the opening . Among the ost that helped me shed many tears I report "The Place Where Wishes Come True II", "Nagisa Farewell", "Distant Years" and "A New Life Reborn".
In conclusion, "Clannad After Story" is a series nothing short of wonderful, can transmit important lessons: to name a few, the relationship that residents have with the city where they were born, love and mutual protection between the two parts, which are connected to the love for his family, or even having to deal with change, both in terms of people, both as regards the changes in the environment around us. The vote would be a 9:30, but I give this series 10 for what it means to me.

JoJo "is a work born as manga by Hirohiko Araki in 1987 and 2012 has come to us a very faithful adaptation anime
Needless to mention the depth of "JoJo plot", since it looks like a classic battle shonen; we must instead speak of opera characters, which are really worth mentioning.
In the first generation there is the contrast between the two protagonists "Jonathan joestar" and "Dio Brando." Jonathan joestar (also known as JoJo all its descendants) is the embodiment of absolute good. A man who protects the weak even at the cost of his life and trying that bit of humanity present in the
...
heart of the wicked, representing the figure of the champion par excellence. Dio Brando, adopted by joestar family, is the total opposite of Jonathan. A selfish man who takes pleasure in ruining the lives of others (see the fury that evidence against the main protagonist), and who gets to kill his own adoptive father; It represents the figure of the Devil. The roles of the two characters are taken to the extreme in order to make it clear to the viewer in a more marked way the opposition between good and evil.
In the second generation (unlike before) there are a lot of characters who stand out in the characterization, but the ones that have impressed me the most were "Joseph joestar" and "Wamuu". Joseph joestar, grandson of Jonathan, is one of the best anti-heroes I've ever seen in a manga / anime. A man of unpredictable actions that sometimes depict him more as a figure "evil" than as a real protagonist, funny and sometimes even crazy. Wamuu is a man full of pride, honor where you can see some slight tinge of humanity. Since fighting his only reason for living, he is struck by the words of Joseph, which then leaves the train in view of their future confrontation.
Because it is considered one of the best shonen battle of all time?
First, the "best shonen battle" expression is very generalized. We must distinguish two types of battle shonen: strategic and non-strategic. A good battle nonstrategic shonen is considered that when there are good animations, choreography and sometimes even the unpredictability in the outcome of the battle. A good battle strategy instead shonen is precisely characterized by more or less unpredictable and exciting strategies.
"JoJo" belongs to the second category, and we must say that although you already know the outcome of many battles (as said before, the story of "JoJo" is quite predictable), this product will keep you and will always want to know in what so the bad guys will be wiped out. "JoJo" was one of the first works that gave birth to the shonen battle strategy; without it, many anime / manga from the likes of "HunterXHunter" probably would not exist. There are many works in which the presence of "JoJo" is felt and some of them are not even of the battle or even of shonen.
The famous pose of "JoJo" are present in "Monogatari", "Gurren Lagann" "Medaka Box" and many other works. The "wryyyyy" spoken by Steph of "No Game No Life" is a clear reference to the direction of JoJo vampires. The coat and black hat Mako ( "Kill the Kill") recall the clothing Jotaro Kujo (presented as a figure in the latest episodes of the first season and starred in "Stardust Crusaders").
Maybe there are other quotes of "JoJo", but these are just examples that make it clear how important it was in the history of anime and manga.
