Let me preface this review by saying that if you're expecting some ingenious plot from this show, you're going to be left severely disappointed.
From the studio that made Angel Beats!, Charlotte, Another & Maquia, this is Shiroi Suna no Aquatope.
Story: 6/10
The plot is pretty straightforward. There's no real *excitement* or *twists* that leave you wanting more. It epitomises what we call "slice-of-life". One might call it tedious and generally lacklustre. That said, it's not bad. It's just there.
Art: 8.5/10
Aquatope is one pretty show. The opening scene is gorgeous. Its style (in my opinion) is somewhat reminiscent of Wonder Egg Priority. Colours are vivid

Kumo desu ga, Nani ka?
(Anime)
add
This has got to be one of the most memorable shows I have ever seen. It had the biggest rating jumping between episodes I've ever witnessed. By episode 6 I had this at 1/1.5. By episode 12 it was at a 6. By 18, it back down to a 3. And finally, now at 24, it's at a 7. Seriously what the hell.
Its animation at times is absolutely atrocious. And I hate, hate, [b]hate[/b] the human side. It was just so dull and uninspiring. Typical shounen shit. Loved Kumeko though. It's such a conflicting show. Would I recommend anyone watch this? I really, really can't ...

Gekidan Nanatsu no Taizai
(Anime)
add
Gekidan Nanatsu no Taizai is 13 episodes lasting about 2 minutes each. The ONA itself does not introduce anything new and consists of some dialogue between the cast members.
As a fan of Nanatsu no Taizai, it's always nice to hear the cast's voices again and the art (all chibis) is nice enough too. Overall, it doesn't take too much time, less than half an hour in total, so if you like the original give this a quick watch. At the time of writing, Dragon's Judgement (Nanatsu no Taizai: Fundo no Shinpan) is coming to a close and its host of new characters, commandments and archangels sadly ...

Mini Dragon
(Anime)
add
Mini Dragon is an ONA consisting of 2 minutes videos based on the original series, Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon. I gave the original series a high 6 (mal score 6) because whilst I enjoyed parts of it, I did find Kobayashi herself to be somewhat annoying and that dropped its score by a bit.
On the other hand, I really enjoyed Mini Dragon, as short as it was. Tohru's 3D model in the op was to-die-for. So, so cute. Lots of points for that. The actual story's themselves were nothing remarkable but nice nonetheless. Great to see the rest of the cast too. I gave ...

5-toubun no Hanayome ∬
(Anime)
add
This is my first review so do bear with me.
5-toubun no Hanayome ∬ (QQ), what a ride. It was somewhere around episode 5 of Season 2 that I decided I loved the show and binged the manga. I could not stop grinning ear to ear watching this show. It's marked a harem and while the quintuplets themselves may arguably fall into generic anime tropes, it doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment. Why you might ask? Perhaps, it's because each quintuplet genuinely cares about the other. Though they want to succeed, they don't want each other getting hurt in the process. That in itself is a ... |
