Meitantei Conan (Anime) add

Recommended

Preliminary (241/? eps)

Okay so most of you must have heard this anime before, no, every one of you must have heard this anime before. But let’s hear a review from someone not an expert, but a huge fan on this matter.

So Detective Conan is an anime unlike any other. It tells the story about Kudou Shinichi a 17 year old detective whose parents are: a detective novel writer and a retired actress. He goes out with his best friend, Mouri Ran, to a theme park and while they were there he spotted some men making an illegal deal. But before he could do anything about it, ... one of the men hit him behind his back and gave him a weird drug that changed him into a kid and has turned him into whom we all currently know as Edogawa Conan. His friend Ran took custody of him with the help of his detective father, Mouri Kogoro. And ever since then, his life has had numerous turnabouts while continuing his profession under the shadow of Kogoro.

Now let’s begin
Plot: 10
So, as I’ve said, Detective Conan is an anime series unlike any other. The story is unique and has a great sense of expertise that no one has ever tied it up with. I’m sure making a detective show isn’t that easy that’s why it’s so different since no one can make it the way Detective Conan has. The plot in one episode then the killing process and how to prove it is no laughing matter. Aoyama Gosho is one person you wouldn’t want to mess with because I’m pretty sure that if you even try offend him, he must have thousands of ideas he can use in trying to kill you. Detective Conan sure is something worth watching and as soon as Shinichi turns back into his old self I bet everyone would want to ask these questions: When and How.

Characters: 10
Now what’s great about the characters is that they somehow solve crimes along with Shinichi/Conan. They all have a reason for being there and their coincidences are something you wouldn’t want to judge. The characters have a wide range from detective children to a butt-kicking best friend and a famous detective that seems to solve each crime whenever he falls asleep and that nobody seems to question. Each character has shown extreme usefulness in solving the main plot of the anime and their intelligence may sometimes be overwhelming we all know one thing from them: They always solve the crime before we do.

Art: 8
Okay, so most of you might have criticized one important point in the art of each character: the ears. I know that they are somehow extremely huge even for a fictional character but maybe it’s their way of making people remember them; “What anime has the biggest ears?” “Detective Conan” or something like that. Anyway, in my opinion I liked Detective Conan better when it was during the late 90s since well, it’s grown to me, but now that they have evolved into something where the colors are brighter I don’t really mind either. Detective Conan has a lot of flaws when it comes to their drawing style not the way Naruto or Bleach is but maybe that’s what makes it so unique.

Sound: 9
Well, Detective Conan doesn’t have a lot of sounds except when their trying to figure out a mystery or when Conan/Shinichi solves it in his head but it doesn’t really matter. For me, in a suspense or mystery show sound isn’t that important whereas the story is what you’re really looking out for. I’m not saying that sound isn’t a crucial element, it is, but for an element you don’t really notice since you’re too busy trying to solve something well, in this case it isn’t as much as any other anime genre there is.

So, my overall rating for Detective Conan is 10 mostly because I’m a person who loves watching detective shows and because, well it’s basically unique. If you go looking for an anime who’s making your mind blow up with numerous questions until it’s solved or just trying to check how good you are as a detective or a private eye or even if you want to try to kill a person but you don’t want it to be solved by a bunch of idiotic ‘detectives’ then this is the show for you. It gets you on your feet pacing, makes you sit at the edge of your seat and floods your brain with different ways to commit a crime then people, what are you waiting for? The show has been on air since 1996 and has solves more than 600 mysteries I think that’s proof enough why this show is something you should watch.

Katekyou Hitman Reborn! (Anime) add

Recommended

Before anything else let me warn you; If you are up for watching an anime whose first few episodes will lead you to asking “Why?” every time the show ends and will continue to criticize on how stupid it is, then this is the show for you.

To be honest, for the past 3 years having to watch this series again and again for their extreme humour and wacked up surprises I still have a lot of questions unanswered. But pay no head to those queries that I’m sure we both want to ask Amano Akira because this show has brilliantly captured my attention regardless ... of what everybody doesn’t understand.

The plot is about a careless and useless boy named Sawada Tsunayoshi or most commonly known as ‘No-good Tsuna’ trying to become the next greatest mafia successor. But despite his lack of skills both in sports and in studies, the 9th – The current leader of the vigilante group known as the ‘Vongola Family’ – and Reborn – A famous hitman tutor – are sure that he will rise to greatness.

Along the way he faces new foes, gathers new comrades and garners new experiences in every battle he comes across. Although to much of everyone’s dismay he still refuses the title of being the 10th boss of Vongola even though he’s fought numerous battles that only those of the Vongola are supposed to handle. He continues to wish for a normal life and will only fight whenever his friends are in trouble.

Now, for my review:
Plot: 9
I find the plot rather mainstream although the story of being a high class mafia boss isn’t always something you would come across to every now and again. But the story itself about a worthless kid becoming a powerful super human being is extremely easy to find. But since every season you get to meet new people, battling them and becoming your allies, finding the right path regardless of what everyone’s been through and still refuse the power you will be able to attain, now that is something I don’t really see. I’m not a huge shounen anime otaku but seriously? What’s wrong with the boy? The comedy is a huge blessing than most shounen animes nowadays and the action is off the charts. Each season gets me on the edge of my seat and people, that’s the whole point of an action anime don’t you think? And its supernatural vibe with all of these amazing and brain-banging ideas of different types of weapons and powers is definitely something you would want to look out for.

Characters: 10
This is honestly the best part of the show. I believe the most important aspect of a good anime is a great variety of characters. I mean wouldn’t you agree if you find an amazing character in an anime you don’t really get you’d still watch it? Not because you want to watch the anime but because of the characters. You want to learn something from someone you really like. But moving on, the cast of Hitman Reborn! Is without a doubt the best set of characters you’ll ever see. From an obsessive sidekick but with cool aspects and intelligence to a baseball nut-slash-an-expert-hitman-samurai to a set of assassin babies the list just goes on. And I’m sure you’ll find a favourite character here somewhere. The characters have different personalities, which I like and have a sense of idiocy and lack of common sense that I find very humorous that keeps me wanting more.

Art: 9
You know that saying ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’? Well let’s just say I don’t really follow that. I’m not really fond of watching old animes like those during the 1970s or 80s but since Hitman Reborn! Was shown recently I don’t really have a comment. Sure, the first few episodes weren’t really good in terms of visuals but since technology is endless the brightness and contrast of the show did pay off once you get to the next season.

Sound: 10
The sound is, I have to say is an outstanding piece of work. Each moment has it's appropriate sound and exhilarates people to continue watching. Every hit, punch and blast of whatever it is they were using as their weapon is beyond me. Even the slightest acceleration from their weapon gives you the whole idea even if you weren't looking you know what's happening. Even though sound isn't really an important element to most animes, when it comes to action it's one of the most crucial points there is.

Having said and evaluated all my criteria I have come to a very solid conclusion that Hitman Reborn! is an anime worth your time watching, although as I've warned you, it can be extremely idiotic and a huge weight of questions will flood your mind every now and again but the point of watching an anime such as Hitman Reborn! is not to fully understand but just for the enjoyment. And I for one, am a person who will continue to watch this show for a very long time.

Cardcaptor Sakura (Anime) add

Recommended

Well, as you all know, this has to be one of the most "known" anime not just because it is watched by many, but the concept of it all were very simillar with other fantasy or shoujo powered girls. The story is a usual 'girl finding some kind of mysterious 'item' that gives her power and becomes magical' theme. As would comment, you'd say its no different compared to anything that you have watched, and i doubt that anybody from this website or anyother blog of whatsoever havent watched this kind of anime theme. But to assure you, most animes started from this long storied/episoded ... anime.

Moving on to the anime, Cardcaptor Sakura is a girl who found a magical book that there, lived/guarded a protector called keroberos who claimed that he was guarding cards sealed by a sorcerer who was all powerful. The cards were filled with magic of all kinds " water, wind, fire, earth, tree, rain, dark, light etc..' and was supposed to be sealed. Unknowing that all the cards have been dissappeared except for one, he assigned the girl 'Sakura' to get them all back before a tremor would happen. As the story goes, along with her friend Tomoyo, she meets a boy who was to collect the cards as well, followed by his 'fiance'. Story goes furthermore to the end after collecting all the 'Clow cards' . Another battle was to occur, from an enchanting boy, who claimes to be the rebirth of Clow, who had no motive in defeating them, was to only test their strength and for Sakura to change the 'Clow cards to Sakura cards', also for him to know that she is able to take care of the cards. 'Defeated' they retreated to england and finally the story was finished with words Sakura did not expect from Li, Syaoran saying that he is inlove with her, it was cut and put to end with him also leaving Japan to go back to Hongkong in which the movie' The sealed card' continous the love story.

Now, my review, the story wasnt short but it was sweet. The ending though, was cut, but it made you want more. The love of Syaoran to sakura, was getting obvious in the 2nd season, so you would expect that he would say 'I love you' anymore sooner, but the awaiting momment for the reply was pushed to the second movie, so it was kinda uptight. The story in which the friendship grew more and trust was leveled up and choices had to be taken were all worth while. The charcaters have good parts in which your heart would suddenly burst with excitement through love or laughter in such a way you'd smile with enjoyment.The art i would care for, was expected to be fine, especially that it was made in 1996, you wouldnt expect something like Final Fantasy VII or so in that time, so basically it was greatly drawn, especially in times of battle. The anime, is a classic favorite of all, its not no.1 but if we were back then it wouldve topped the charts. i wouldnt know though, since i wasnt born til '97 but the enjoyment would last for more years to come.

~~ hope you liked my review, if not, i might have expected that, since im very young. please comment in my profile if you have any suggestions or comments with my review. Thanks for reading~~

Fushigi Yuugi (Anime) add

Recommended

this anime is an anime with a lot of unexpected things that happened in the end,but like most/all animes they end up with a happy ending.this story is full of shoujo,comedy,romance,action,adventure and a little bit of suspense.its based on the 28 constellations,the 4 gods,4/2 students/girls that found a mysterious book with a different world inside of it and each god that has 7 celestial wariors that guards their priestess in order for their priestess to be granted 3 wishes by their god,but mostly in the anime series it is mostly all about the 2 girls named yui and miaka that found a book leading them ...
