This anime is not like your typical rom-com. It has your typical elements when you look at it first glance but after watching it I had a different perspective on it.

Story- 8/10
It's narrated by the main character Hikigaya Hachiman. It's about a club called the Volunteer Club. People from the school make requests and the Volunteer Club does their best to complete the task. Now, when you watch it. Its not like a romantic anime. I think its was a form of satire. It was their love for being who they were and being proud of being alone. Its more of a dark comedy in ... the sense that Hikigaya always philosophizes on why society is the way it is. Those conclusions are usually dark and abstract. The story was basically, how the Volunteer CLub would eventually get their tasks done and how each person with in that club would develop chemistry with each other.

Art 10/10

The art was crisp, clean, colorful, and, so, not much to complain about.

Sound 10/10

Same thing with the art. Not much to complain about.

Characters 8/10

Although the characters were basically pre-developed, it wasn't about how they individually developed as much as it was how they developed as a club and how they use it when they're together. If you pay close attention to the characters in this series, each one doesn't really stray from their original notions or outlooks. They just use them differently.

Enjoyment 10/10

Overall, when watching a comedy, you have to put on your comedy "hat", so to speak.You have to think why it has the genre. Its because its supposed to make you laugh. If a comedy makes you laugh, then the anime has done its jon and you as the audience have done our job by reacting the way that it was meant.

Overall 9/10
People tend to have one overall, look, or requirements, when looking at an anime. they don't know how to put on different "hats". What i mean by this is, that when you watch a series like Death Note, you have to ask yourself a couple of questions.

1. What is the intent of this anime?

2. Has it fulfilled its intent?

3. How has it done that?

In this case, the intent is to obviously make you laugh, and to maybe be more accepting of your faults. It fulfilled its intent by making you laugh. It was a funny anime, I can honestly say that i have laughed more times in this one than any other comedy. It has accomplished this by having subtle yet obvious forms of satire along with unique personalities to further drive that fact home.

If you love romcoms or comedy in general, you need to have this anime in your thoughts. If you haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend that you stop what you're doing, sit down and watch this series. It's golden in the realm of comedies.

Psycho Pass is one of the few animes where originality is put to the state. It can either make or break the anime all together. In this case it was a made the anime. There is 22 episodes in this anime and it has mostly detective mystery and some futuristic elements. It has some references to old literature if you are in to that type of thing.

Story
I loved this story line because it has twists. The story has elements of doing what you are told and not asking any questions. The world they live in has a questionable system to tell if you are a ... criminal or not by looking out your psycho pass. It if exceeds the crime coefficient limit than the Dominator(their gun) states whether they die or become stunned.

Art/Sound
The art was not impressive but I like the way it represented the whole futuristic type of genre. I personally liked the soundtrack.

Character
They character development in this anime was phenomenal. Each character has their own reason for where they are in the show. It is later the characteristics that define each character that come into play later on that makes the story an "eye opener".

Enjoyment
Personally, i enjoyed this anime more than others because I like the whole detective and mystery type of anime. The thing I liked most was the fact that they used references or quotes that were themed with the situation at hand.

****The only reason this anime didn't get on favorites list for me was because there weren't more episodes*****

Bakemonogatari..............Where to start? It is mainly a supernatural/mystery type of anime. It has some proportions of slight comedy and some romance in it. I haven't read the manga so I am solely basing this off of the anime.

Story
Its a confusing anime to follow but it is intriguing. The story line in my belief is simple but the dialogue or script makes it seem more mind boggling than what appears on the surface.

Art/Sound
The art isn't the best but it manages. The sound doesn't really have anything that stands out.

Characters
The characters in this anime are very interesting and have their own complicated back story to them. All ... of the characters in this anime are complex in their own way and evolve over the 15 episode anime.

Enjoyment
I personally enjoy this anime because I like the "mind-boggling" type of animes. It kept me on my toes watching the whole thing. It is slow in the beginning but it picks up around the 4 episode.

Overall
If you are the type to try anime regardless of the type then I would recommend this and if you like mystery or "mind-bogglers" than i would highly recommend this for you.
