I quickly looked over the other reviews for this anime and was shocked, especially with the rating only ranging about half way. I couldn’t let that be and so had to do my own review. I just finished watching this and I thought it amazing. It took me two days and only because I had to go to work.

The story it really enjoyable, it’s essentially the same idea as Hack but I found the realism of it more believable. It is an idea that has been around for a while but I believe the best stories come from and idea that people recognise but ... it has a different spin on it to make it almost completely new.

The story follows the characters as they struggle to survive and try and escape Sword Art Online (SAO). This is only half the show. Half way through they do escape, in a fashion I was very shocked with personally. However not all escape and the main character goes on another adventure in a new game. I will not tell you more on this; it will ruin your surprise.

This is a new anime, only finished in December and it shows with the art. It is clean with smooth but bright colours. The blending and lighting of the art is amazing to look at. I found myself in awe of the colours and also the art style. I loved the style, the way the characters and buildings and EVERYTHING was drawn. I found myself at times in awe of its beauty. It’s a funny thing to say but my favourite part of all the art was the mouth. I have trouble with mouths when I draw, don’t know why, but I loved how they were drawn in this anime.

The characters I loved. You follow one main character thorough the story called Kirito. You meet quite a few characters along the way as well but unlike other anime’s that have a lot of characters for the viewer to watch and keep track of this one makes sure that you know them by name. You know their personalities and you don’t have to struggle to remember who’s who. This allows you to get to know the characters so much better.

The characters are believable in their reactions and how they go about this new life. They are characters you learn to love very quickly and if one is put in a dangerous situation you care about what will happen next. I have been shocked and also extremely relived when watching this show. Constantly on the edge of my seat because the characters make you care.

The sound was amazing for this anime as well. The background music always fitted into the show effortlessly and only built upon the situation. It was beautifully composed and I don’t believe the anime could have done without it.

The voice actors fitted their characters as well. I know I have watched anime’s where the voices don’t match the characters and I personally find it very frustrating. This wasn’t the case.

And off course the opening and ending songs where really fun to listen to as well. I never skipped ahead watching this show. I wanted to see the beginning and listen to the music. It was really good.

I enjoyed this anime so much it is unreal. I don’t watch anime as much anymore because I don’t have as much time and my interest have grown over the years. I haven’t watched an anime this quickly in ages. I didn’t only enjoy watching this anime I loved it. I couldn’t tear my eyes away, and when I couldn’t watch it I was thinking about it. I couldn’t wait to continue the show when getting home. I very rarely get this way with anime but I did with this show and I believe that only indicates how much I enjoyed it.

Overall I think this is a brilliant anime. 10/10 and I recommend everyone to watch it. I don’t understand the other reviewers scoring for this anime. This is without a doubt one of my favourite anime’s and I really hope you read this review, watch the show and share my view.
Thank you.

I was looking at the two reviwes for this manga well waiting for the video to lode and i noticed the not the most positive. i could only read the first part since my computer dosen't alow the 'read more' button to work(very annoying) but still the people that have reviewd don't seem to be the biggest fans of this manga. hence why i'm writting a very positive review for it!

this review isn't going to be long and it's going to be brief. so to start of i think i should mention that i love this manga. it is my favourite. a couple reasons for ... this are because it is light harted and i quite like the subtile humor in it. i love the art and it's a pretty small story.

i don't think this manga is for everyone and if i wasn't such a romantic at times i'm not sure if i would love this manga as much. however i really do enjoy this manga and have reread it many times.

the story is pretty simple and is following the two main characters as they live togather and shows how their relationship progresses. The only thing i didn't like about the story was were it was "love at first sight".

the style of art that mitsuki kako uses is one of the styles i adore. i think the art is beautiful.

the characters are the normal kind of characters that you would expect to see in this kind of manga this dosen't however mean they are not good. they are entertaining! you even have two side charcters that have a great sense of humor and that always make me laugh!

as i said i have reread this manga many times so that pretty much tells you what i think of it overall. i think it is furraly entertaing and it's nice to read if your unsure about what you want to do, to kill time or if just want to read a nice little fluffy story!

overall i give this a 10/10 but i do belive this is something you'll love or hate depending on the person. so check it out make your own decsion and post a review on what you think of it. or even send me a message because i can't get my friend to read it and i love talking about stuff i have enjoyed with people.

Barracano is one of those animes that when you finish watching it, it just blow you away! The way the producers (or whoever) have gone about making this is astounding. The beginning for me i thought was magnificent and defently made me want to watch more. The first episode however is the ending of the show. Now i know what your thinking, how can the beginning be the end? well simply put, they showed the ending of a jearney all the characters took in the first episode. Then through the rest of the episodes it shows the beginning of the story and how they get ... to the end.

This anime has a plot that you really have to pay attention too. throughout the entire show, which is twelve episodes, you are skipping between three different years, 1930, 1931 and 1932. along with that you are also going back and forth between all of the characters. the story is one that will keep you asking questions right the way through to the end. it would seem at the beginnig that none of it makes sense and that all of your questiongs can not be answered but i am telling you that you need to watch this anime all the way to the end because all those questions will be answered.

the art i thought was great. i'm not going to go to much into it but i do belive it is a style of art that some may not like but the whole thing is drawn beautifully.

i loved the music in this anime. the ending has lyrics and is a slow lovely song well the opening is the opposite and is a fast song that has no lyrics. i found the opening entertainning and i loved the music throughout.

all the characters are completly different and i love all of there personalities! there are alot of them however!the opening does help by showing them and their names.
the charcters are fantastic and you full in love with them quickly. you have your serius, your outrageus, your crazey, even a crybaby and that is only some of them. all the characters are outstanding!
the two characters that i feel need to be mentioned are miria and izzack. they are clueless and are beyond funny to watch and take the meaning happy-go-lucky to new extreams. they will leave you in a 'sweat drop' moment and in laughter all the way to the end of the show.

i really enjoyed this anime and though after episode two i had some doubts as i was conffused, i can say without a doubt that i am happy i found and watched this anime.

my overall review? 10/10! i loved it! it's an anime i haven't been able to 'read' which i don't find often. it's an anime that has a great plot and is extreamly interesting. it's an anime with great art and music and one i can honystly say that i waill be watching again.

the story starts with a rich girl that is kicked out of her house by her father to go see the world. unlike other girls however she just dusts herself of and go's on her way meeting two other characters.

the story is 10 episodes long which is a shame because it desears to be longer. the show is entertaining and will keep the watcher coming back for more. they have a lovely balance with the humor and the seriousness in the show and it works really well. the only probelem i think the story had was were it didn't allways make complete sense or didn't ... explain something properly. this is shown mainly in the first episode and dosen't show up as much through the remaining 9 episodes.

the art is outstandiing. the characters are wonderfully drawn and it catches your eye straight away. the most stunning feature in the drawings for me though is without a doubt Razel's(the main character) eyes. they are a stunning blue and not for a better word beautiful!

the music is lush! i love the opening, heartbracking romance.it's a catchy song and i just loved it, end off. the music throughout the show is also great.

the characters are as funny as can be. the three main characters, razel, alzeid and baroqueheat are great entertainment and never leave you with a boring moment. (does that make sense?) they are all completly different yet they seem to get along really well. the characters just bounce of each other and are so fun to watch. they have completly made my fav characters list.

as i have kept saying throughout this entire review, i have really enjoyed this anime. it has been great to watch and i'm sure it is one i can see myself watching over and over.

my overall core for this anime is 10/10. i love it and it really is that simple. everything in the story is great and i would reccomend it to those that may want to watch a small anime serise, who would like an anime that makes you laugh alot and gives you a decent story line and of course if your looking for great art. mind you beware of cliffhangers!

an anime i am happy i came across and will be watching again.!

i read this manga before i even knew about this site. however it is manga i have never forgotten. i read it years ago so i was still a bit of a novice, however i really enjoyed reading it at the time, i was fasinated. i don't think this manga suits everyone but i would reccomend it.

it is short and easy to read. the humor in the story was great. most of the humor dirived from the two main characters. i would explain them as two best friends who have known each other all their lives but they continusly fight.

my overall rating for this was ... 8 though it was very nearly a 10. this is simply because of the ending. the ending unlike the rest of the manga was rubbish. it just semmed to of finished in the middle. their wasn't a conclusion, their wasn't anything to even indicate the end in the story. the ending is very dissapointing and my friend who i had gotten to read it as well also agreed.

i remmember saying "that can't be the end" this was what ruiend the manga and decreased it's score.

overall all i would reccomend it to beginners and anyone who is bored and looking for something to do.
