Lets take a trip into space baby...

Story:
Let me say this first, Space Dandy doesn't revolve around a plot. The Show takes place in kinda different events that don't correspond with the last episode, so if per say all the characters died last episode everything would reset and a new adventure would take place. This concept is what brought this show down for me. Ya its funny, really funny, but whats the point of what is happening on the screen? Overall the story was fun, but didn't revolve like a story should, more like cartoon if you want to of it like that. (6)

Art:
It was groovy. ... I don't have much to say about the art. Everything was animated smoothly and blended together great. The main characters were done well and really showcased their personalities. (10)

Sound:
One of the best parts about this show was how well the U.S voice actors played their parts. When i hear the actors speak their lines and portray their parts it makes me think this anime was meant to be spoken in English. An example would be the narrator: The narrator Added a lot of character to the story with his deep, philosophical sounding voice that had something in it that made the show sound even funnier, though he isn't any Morgan Freeman but comes close. But in the end it sounded really good in every aspect. (9)

Character:
This show revolves around the wacky space crew of Dandy, Meow, and QT, who get chased around by Dr. Gel and his wacky assistant Bee. Each of these characters and all the others that pop in each episode are so well designed and have so much character in them. I found one of the best parts of writing this review was thinking about all the characters i met in Dandy's adventures. trust me when i say this, I loved all the main and supporting characters and you will too. (10)

Enjoyment:
it was a fun ride. There was a lot of fun on the adventure with Dandy in the show. Every episode was funny and felt very well thought about. Nothing in this show seemed rushed or overly cheesy, i say this because some events ARE very very cheese but on purpose to make the viewer laugh which I did. (9)

Overall:
Space Dandy I found was a gem hidden the the toonami block of Adult Swim's Saturdays block. I hadn't heard of this show before i saw it late at night by chance, and what i like was that the show wasn't ruined by over hype that many shows and video games these days come short because of. At the end is a really interesting 13 episode season. With another one to watch. So i give Space dandy a 8 out of 10. It is a hell a lot of fun to watch. Though if you want something really serious like i did, you won't want to watch this. Despite that, this show is really something.

P.S: If you liked this review, or hated it and want to maker me review better, than comment/message me if you have the time. I will also try to get to season 2 for this show when I can.

A show that you really can't get unless you have watched Gundam.

Story: Their isn't any story... Everything in the shown revolves around jokes about the Mobile Suet Gundam 79 TV show. Everything is meant to poke fun and make you smile. But, only if you have seen the show. If not its really isn't worth your time. (1)

Art: This show uses a crude art style that is meant to be funny. The character models sharpen slightly and become more serious looking(kinda like the TV show drew them) then go back to the simpler art style. The art style is meant to add humor while watching, ... so that is what it does. Nothing visually impressive though.(8)

Sound: What i found really interesting is the use of the Gundam 79's soundtrack. This somewhat remastered soundtrack fits in the modernized show while giving you the Gundam feel. The voice actors also do a great job voicing their roles, they try to capture the original voice actors voices in each character.(9)

Character: The characters are suppose to be like the ones from Gundam 79. Except in this parody each character is given a new characteristic to add humor to the show, and so again if you have seen the show they will make sense to you. Keep in mind this is still a parody so no real character development is present, and so you won't be introduced to these characters beforehand as your suppose to know who they are before watching.(7)

Enjoyment: If you understand all the references then you will be spitting up laughing. If not your out of luck.

Overall: Mobile Suit Gundam-san is a funny parody of the Mobile Suit Gundam (Gundam 79) show. It involves a lot of humor that references the show with some perverted, and slapstick humor. I found it very entertaining and recommend it to any one of my friends who have seen Gundam 79. So i feel a 8/10 is acceptable. Though it is funny and has its moments it fails by having akward, unfunny moments that leave you stone silent. Also since its purely a reference to a show not many people will watch it and enjoy it like i did. Still, very solid and funny parody from this summer(2014).

People treat others badly because their different, even call them monsters. But... Who really is the monster?

Story: This story tops as one of my personal favorites. It made me angry, sad, and almost put me to tears at some points. It had a interesting story that stayed strong throughout the entire show. Although their were a lot of confusion. What i mean by "confusion" is that you can't decide immediately who is the guilty party. Like a court case you have to watch till the very end until you can decide. Also i feel that some info was cut from the transaction of manga to ... anime, but that doesn't change the whole story too much at all. At the end it was a great story that, although a little confusing and leaving a bit of missing or incompleteness, it turns out still strong and powerful. (10)

Art: The art was fine and had no problems whatsoever. It was solid colors and was animated well. (10)

Sound: It was fine and dandy. I didn't hear any problems with the audio. The only problem i would say was that i didn't feel very impact full. It didn't add to the moment very well, which is why i didn't feel anything.(9)

Character: Simply put each character is well done. Each of the main and supporting characters are well developed and full of life. They don't feel like a Jar Jar Binks throw in comedy, or any other type of lifeless or annoying character. Very well done and heartbreaking to see them go. (10)

Enjoyment: I overall enjoyed this show from first episode to last. I admired every bit of comedy, romance and horror in here. It truly did make this worth watching on my part. Though if anything i had to complain about would be that i felt a 13 ep season was too short. Like i said i be leave their was info and back stories that should have been in their but were cut out because of time restraints.

Overall: One of the best anime's Ive ever seen! Their was a lot of heart and soul put into this to make it as great as it is. The story is strong and stays strong even with some confusion. The art is fine and has no problems (unless you count uncensored nips. Note: don't watch around parents). The music and voice acting sounds great, but the music doesn't feel like it adds to the emotion of the story that well. The characters are very very well developed in the show. I had much fun watching this and was sad to see it end. Overall Elfen Leid is a strong show. It is brutal yet gentle at the same time. But if your not into massive gore this isn't your piece of cake, but don't fret i too was sick to my stomach but made it through. As the anime goes, i place it on top as one of my favorite anime's with a 9/10. And place the ending as my second favorite ending to an anime, second to Angel Beats. Well thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope it helps you make the decision to watch this anime or not.

Whats more fun than huge tin cans filled the fuck up with weapons?

Story:
Another meche. I like the concept of the story, where in this new age of man nobody dies because of a major rule to let survivors leave, not to my surprise that it doesn't last long. Other than that the story is pretty straightforward and fun. (7)

Art:
Meh. Its pretty good for the most part. The only thing that brings down this value is horrid mechs that look like giant tin cans with machine guns sticking out of everywhere. Like if you placed a magnet in the middle of the United states and set ... it to attract all guns in each state. Ya stupid right? Also Murica. (7)

Characters:
What i majorly disliked about this manga is that i liked all the characters. Each one was interesting so it left me wanting more than what i got out of this manga. The only thing i disliked was that the main female becomes a princess who needs saving, and the main male becomes your typical knight in shining armor. (8)

Enjoyment:
Again, meh. It was... Ok? I liked it up until the horrid ending. The ending was exactly meant to open up the manga for a second season or continuation, but nope never happened. It was a cool story with a few comical moments. There were a few events that were bluntly obvious that they were going to happen, but then others that were unexpected. The "fun" although didn't last. (6)

It was a pretty good idea and was executed fairly well. Characters were fun, and there were moments where i thought everything was going to go down the crapper. The manga was just not too inspiring. It could have been a lot better and LONGER. Because of a poor ending and semi fun concept, its 6/10 at best. Its an average manga that deserves no more praise than it does more weapons on its mechas.

(Writing during season break)

A world where the assassins are good guys? Im not smoking anything this is the real deal here!

Story:
Amazing! The story is something you can't just forget about. All the detail and love put into this makes for a hell of a lot of fun. A classic rebellion vs a corrupt Central power that seems unstoppable. This sounds a lot like many other stories, but the action, and emotion put into this makes a thrill ride from start to end. You never know what could happen next so your on the edge reading until its over. (10)

Art:
Well done. It is very well drawn ... and correctly displays the images. But what makes this just epic is the gory detail. You can clearly see the evil, the destruction portrayed in every scene. It helps in so many ways concentrate the mood being portrayed. (10)

Character:
What is there to say, the characters make the story. Every character is shaded in well, There aren't any hollow characters unless they have no significance to the overall story. They are so well developed you have different opinions of them, like my favorite character, who is a bad guy! The manga does an excellent job portraying each character so very, very well! (10)

Enjoyment:
A great read. It is a great action packed and sad story that is exciting to read. The action scenes put you on the edge of your seat, and when away from battle there is always some side story or event that keeps you reading. The story is also very tragic, this adds to the story and makes you wonder if your favorite character is on the chopping block next! (10)

I don't like giving perfect scores to anything! I always feel need to put down anything that could detour a reader, Akame Ga Kill was a manga i was denied by. Everything about this manga, i loved! from the well thoughted story, to Amazing characters, i simply loved it. If you have ever watched or read Attack on Titan, than you will love this, i say this because i loved Attack on Titan and I loved Akame Ga Kill. They both share well developed characters, a great concept for a story, and lots of tragic events that keep you on edge. If you want something to read while waiting for the next season of Attack on Titan this would be a great place to start. I without hesitation give a 10/10 to Akame Ga Kill. I now wait for the anime that is planed on releasing this summer.

A guy afraid of girls, and a girl afraid of guys. To remove this fear lets go out together in secret?

Story:
I liked the concept. A guy and girl who need to overcome their fear for the other gender, so to do this they go out with each other but this is a "sexless" friendship. the story is also filled with a few holes that don't get filled as the manga progresses. I personally liked this concept but looking at it its not very good one. (7)

Art:
It was ok. The art was well drawn and not lazy or rushed. But there are some boob grabbing, naked ... scenes, and erotic fantasies. This exists throughout the series and gives the impression it is almost a hentie. So i disliked this very much as it took away from the story and made it less readable. (7)

Characters:
It was 50/50 on good and bad. The two main characters that go out with each other are developed well through the manga. Though they aren't looked back enough and are left to be somewhat hollow. The main problem is that they are under developed. While this may be the case, the main characters are still made well enough to enjoy them. (6)

Enjoyment:
Without going into to much detail i want to go over everything i disliked from this manga. Firstly it was on the edge of being hentie, there uncensored breasts and plenty of boob grabs. There are also a few dirty jokes like seeing up a skirt, and people enjoying sex in a room next to where are main characters are. Another is that it has a very bad ending where the main character ends up with the wrong girl, even though this was expected to happen though to the story's concept, it is a wrong decision that make for a bad ending, adding salt to the injury the girl the main guy falls with is underdeveloped and adds to the disappointing ending. If she was more developed than the ending would have been more accepting. I did though enjoy the story up to that point, to a certain extent. (6)

Sexless friend has an interesting concept. The story itself didn't end liked i wanted it to or how it should have ended due to under developed characters and story. There is almost too much profanity to enjoy the story itself, unlike Great Teacher Onizuka where perverted jokes only go so far so that it is funny yet not to much that it disturbs the reading. So i feel happy to give it 5/10. It did all the rights things wrong, and threw in perverted scenes to make men interested in a bad manga. Atleast i can say that they didn't used stereotypical big boobed women. That being said i won't be reading this again.

Only one life? Sounds like some hard core game right? Well this isnt a game, and that life is your actual life on the line...

Story:
This is one of my favorite stories. For our time where the gaming industry is rapidly developing due to advancements like the Kinect, the reality of being the character in the game is not so far fetched. Also since video games are a major part in the lives of many people, concepts like life bars and skill trees are easy to understand and make for an interesting story. (10)

Art:
A dynamic art style for a action packed visual anime. The art is ... awesome, the way characters move around and fight are well animated and action packed. Watching as your favorite character finishes off a mighty monster is just epic. (10)

Sound:
The sound make the anime. The dynamic music during action scenes put you on edge as you watch the characters movements. Then during heart pounding love scenes that make you want to cry the music plays along to further develop the scene. Vocals are also well recorded and fit in well for the characters they fill in for. (10)

Character:
Well developed and loving characters. You learn to love the characters as they are developed fairly well in this short anime. You won't want any character to be lost to this game from hell because of how well they are developed and the impact they make to you and the story. Only thing preventing a perfect score is character trait changes halfway through the show. (9)

Enjoyment:
This is where things go hairy. I enjoyed this anime, yet i also didn't. This anime is by far a great watch for any anime lover. But it all goes down halfway through the first season where major characters from the first half make almost no appearance and a main character goes from a strong character to a damsel in distress. It was still very good but with these character changes and some other small details changed, it makes the first half of the first season more enjoyable than the second. (8)

This anime was one of my favorites, until half way through. lots of great moments that have feeling put into them. The anime is also much better than the manga equivalent, it improves and puts it in its dust. But the fatal flaw of SAO is that it cuts off from the main story element too early halfway through. This takes a great idea, a great story, great characters, and something beautiful, and turns it into a cheesy prince saving the princess story that doesn't fulfill my wants in an action packed anime. SAO is filled with great moments that you won't forget, but because of a horrid half way season climax and the second part of the season it losses all of its luster. I love this anime, it goes under one of my favorites, but because of a bad decision it ruins the story majorly. A great show that outdoes its manga and makes something great. It pains me to give it a 7/10 because of how much of an impact it made to me. But i can't let the fact that poor decisions were made, and so the score is deserving.

A girl who cares only about her studying, and a delinquent that doesnt know he is a delinquent. Wait.. This is a story about their love?

Story:
I simply love this story. Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is a happy story that is fun and romantic. The story has its ups and downs, but these only put the reader at the edge of his/her seat. A great idea for a story and is well executed. (10/10)

Art:
I love a well detailed art combined with cute character moments. The art is well drawn and by no means lazy or rushed. It is clear to the reader what is being depicted and ... is pleasing to the eyes. (10/10)

Character:
My favorite part of this review! Each character, regardless of main or supporting, has a major part in the story. To add on each character is well developed. Through the series i'v grown to love the characters. Their is nothing I hated about the characters unless they were outright created to be hated. (10/10)

Enjoyment:
lots of fun to read. Through the story i had a lot of fun, weather it be the gang hanging out, or a suspenseful moment where the views of each other change for better or worse. To simply put, I had no problem spending my time to read this story because it truly was fun and just amazing to read. (10/10)

Conclusion:
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is all of the following: A great story, drawn to perfection, populated with characters that one cannot forget, and was fun to read. Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun goes in my book of one of the best mangas i've ever read. It showcases what a good story writer, and a great artist can combine together for a manga. With such a great love story about haru and Shizuku it is going to be hard for me to forget. I proudly give Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun a 10/10. For all the hard work gone into a memorable story. Outstanding in every way. I hated none of it, loved every strand of it.

Taiyou has just seen the love of his life after being saved by her only a moment ago. Desperate, he asks to go out with her, she says yes. This turns out fine until he finds out that the cost to date her will be to make every memory together unforgetable, or else she will forget him and the time spent together. So with the help of a friend from middle school and others met along the way, he sets out to make Hinata remember him.

This story was very strong with love. I loved it. Taiyou survives many disappointing rejections as Hinata fails to remember ... him. This i thought showed a very strong love, one that i will remember for times to come. This manga has many great moments where Taiyou and his friend try to get Hinata to remember them. Seishun Forget is full of laughs and love that are hard to forget. I loved this from beginning to end. Along with a few plot twists, this manga serves to be worth its time to read.

While i loved it i can't give it a 10. The biggest was that it was too short. I feel that more great moments of Taiyou and Hinata should have been present. Even more so should there have been more tension when the rival appears to take Taiyou away from Hinata. So yes it was a little to short but still long enough to show a good story unfold.

The ending was sweet and great for the story. I wish to be able to read more manga where there is such a loving ending. So my score is 8/10, for a great love story with a great theme, although the series was a little to short for my tastes, i do think that it was enough to make for a manga i want to fully purchase hard copies of.
