Alright folks, here we are with Unmei Kyoudoutai, a music video given to us by Neriame. With this being the first thing I've heard from this group, I went in blind and I have to say I was very pleased with the result. They did a brilliant job with this music video now while it may not have had a story in place like some do, it didn't need one. This was just cute girls doing cute things in the form of music video and I'm here for it.

The anime and animation was pretty smooth and looked beautiful as it went through the video. If ... you don't know, this is also the opening for Megami no Cafe Terrace and general theme of the music video stays during the opening of that too with the only difference being the cute girls in the anime are shaking their (this is a self provided censor bar brought to you by User Tenshi, DONT HARM MY REVIEW MAL) around.

All in all, I provided this an 8 as it was really good to listen to and not only that but it was also great to watch. I'm very pleased.

Nero was good. There was nothing about the visuals or animation style that really set it apart from other music videos as the animation difference between this and something like Mellow's music video is very noticeable. But, the music itself was quite a jammer I must say. All in all, a solid 7/10, I'll admit I did not pick up on much of what the story of the music video was trying to represent very well though. It was difficult to make out in my case.

For me, I liked this music video and it fits well as the opening for Dead Mount Death Play though ... I do have to admit it lacks a bit in the second half. This is an enjoyable song though so please listen everyone! Sou did a fantastic job.

At first I only chose to watch this because of it being the opening to the fabulous Skip to Loafer anime. However, this became an entirely different experience of its own and only within the time span of 4 minutes. There is a reason this music video obtained a 9/10 for me and that's due to the power it has. The song itself was phenomenal and a brilliant piece of music from Keina Suda giving me the feelings of reminiscing the school days of youth I'm leaving behind. And the video itself was the icing on the cake with it telling a story of a ... couple, their youth and adult life. Their loss and reconnections. Their happiness and sadness.

This is a manga I've been wanting to read for quite a long time now considering I love Clannad and I especially love Tomoyo. As you'd expect by the synopsis and title, it tells the story about Tomoya and Tomoyo by taking inspiration from the original Tomoyo route in Clannad.

Now like I said before, this takes inspiration from the original route. Tomoyo Dearest takes many of the plot points of the original route such as Takafumi, the preservation of the sakura trees and of course, her goal of becoming student council president. For such a short manga, it manages to tell the story it needed ... to tell in a great way. Sadly, many characters of the original Clannad franchise were not apart of this manga just like the original route such as characters like Kyou, Ryou or Kotomi. However, two characters do play a great aspect in the story and they are Nagisa and Sunohara. Sunohara was already a recurring character within the original route but this manga introduces Nagisa who didn't have as much as a big role in this route before.

The way the characters were written did truly feel like them and weren't just some half-assed recreation. The art was not the best of all manga however it was still pretty good and got the job done very well. All in all, I believe this manga was a great experience especially for someone like me who loves Clannad and the best girl, Tomoyo Sakagami.

Kaginado Season 2. The continuation of the too short Kaginado series arrived and has now ended. This time finally bringing us the stories of those who have passed.

Featuring the same cast as last season with the addition of Angel Beats!, Kaginado returns and once again I loved it. Sadly, no confirmation of a third season but as they say the story will continue in my heart.

STORY: Just like last time, there isn't really a set storyline to this season however there was the minor thing of the cast of Angel Beats! trying to discover the "God" behind this world. However still, 10/10

ART: Of course, the ... same chibi art style and the backgrounds are pretty much the same styling, I'll give it a 9/10 as I still loved it but it would have been better to have the regular designs.

SOUND: Beautiful music, a lot of the OSTs were from the original series of each franchise and I'm not complaining. 10/10

CHARACTER: The characters are all the same and that's the best part. I can look and watch someone like Nagisa or Riki and still remember them as the same people I met and watched in Clannad and Little Busters. 10/10

ENJOYMENT: I love Key with all my heart and while we may only get two seasons of Kaginado, it has made me so happy that we actually got this and I feel grateful that we ever got to meet all these amazing characters. 10/10

OVERALL: 10/10, another masterpiece by Key.

3-gatsu no lion and Bump of Chicken came together and made a music video, how was it? Awesome.

STORY: 7/10

How about we start with story, of course since it's a 5 minute long music video there isn't much story there. However, during that 5 minutes they managed to show many scenes from the anime itself and implement them into the music video such as there being many familiar faces in the train.

ART: 9/10

The art was new and familiar to the anime at the same time. With it using the anime as a basis, this less detailed art style of 3-gatsu no lion was a great choice ... for a music video like this. With them managing to make the art more simple but still really beautiful at the same time.

SOUND: 10/10

The singing of the music video to me, was fabulous. Bump of Chicken did an incredible job with their performance and I hope to see more things like this from them in the future as they were perfect for the job.

CHARACTER: 7/10

While I do love the characters in 3-gatsu no lion, I feel inclined to give this a 7 simply because this was a music video that didn't heavily focus on character development. Which is completely understandable, after all, it is a music video. The music itself matters way more than focusing on the characters in this.

ENJOYMENT: 9/10

I can say with all my heart that this music video was very enjoyable to watch and listen to. My hype level increased heavily during the the train scene as the papers blew away as well as the zoom into Kiriyama on the train as you could see many familiar faces in the seats such as Shimada.

OVERALL: 9/10

My overall rating for this music video will be a 9, I loved the 3-gatsu no lion series and when I saw this music video it did not disappoint at all.

Kaginado. The series that covers many stories, the story of those who can fly in the sky, the stories of fake worlds, even the story of forgotten memories.

A series that brings all of Key's works together and does it fabulously. These 12 weeks of Kaginado airing had been brilliant. A quick reminder though, you will need to have watched/played the following visual novels Key has created, Kanon, Air, Clannad, Planetarian, Little Busters!, Rewrite and Angel Beats.

STORY: Kaginado doesn't have a true set story or anything like that. It's simply a hilarious comedy show based in a high school setting that brings many of Key's works ... together. All these universes come together into a show of true comedy. I really enjoyed the way they utilized the fact all these stories came together. 10/10

ART: The characters are all chibi so if you don't like chibi art then this might not be the anime for you. The backgrounds are all pretty colourful and in my opinion, beautiful. Of course, the art isn't perfect. In my opinion, the art isn't perfect however, it's still really good. 9/10

SOUND: All the voice actors are the same as they were in the original anime... With the exception of Misuzu Kamio's original voice actor Kawakami Tomoko, may you rest in peace. The other sounds fit the theme of the little bright comedy show. 10/10

CHARACTER: The characters are exactly the same as I remember them from the other series, still fabulous. Maybe these characters were not their best in the original shows but, when they come together with other Key characters, they become truly fabulous. Especially Sunohara in my opinion.

ENJOYMENT: As someone who adores Key and all their works, I have had many incredible memories with each of their series. When I first heard of this, I was so excited. And once it began airing, me and my friend are always messaging each other every week. A series like this means a lot, not just to me but every fan that Key has. I'm incredibly excited for season 2 and thus I give my enjoyment rating also a 10/10.

OVERALL: 10/10. Fabulous.
