(This review covers both season of arakawa under the bridge)
have you ever wondered why sometimes weird things makes us laugh ?
I think it is because it gives us a relieve from common sense and logic.

Story(7/10) - A perfect and respectable of person of society starts living under the bridge,sounds crazy enough ? add some even more crazyness by adding crazy characters.and there daily live is called arakawa under the bridge.
But is arakawa only comedy.I do not think so because you will find some nuggets of great lessons in it.But let's come to the actual point.It has no reall story XD

Art(7/10) - Shaft is known for ... there unique art style.and you definitely can that is arakawa. you will also found great sakuga movements in it.and as a bonus you will find at the end of every episode a artwork by different mangaka.

Sound(8/10) - This anime was one of the early anime work of Music Composer Yokoyama Masaru (Your Lie in April fame).and There is Stellar Voice acting of the Seiyuu. Especially of Kamiya Hiroshi and
Sugita Tomokazu ( his himo song in the anime XD).there are also other famous Seiyuu like Miyuki Sawashiro and Nakamura Yuuichi.

Characters(9/10) - and Now comes the Soul of this anime.The characters.they are wacky,funny and most of time illogical XD.

Enjoyment (9/10) - I enjoyed this anime a lot because of its quirky nature.

Overall (8/10) - Wanna Kill Common Sense ?
Then there is no need to look further that the holy land of arakwa under the bridge.

and fun fact - The anime this manga on based is written by Kamiya Hiroshi's Wife.

SPOILER FREE SHITTY REVIEW
Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko(HenNeko) aka The Hentai Prince and the stony Cat.

I had no expectations from HenNeko except for some entertainment as I decided to watch it just to take break from binging shounen anime.But I never expected to give me the melancholic feel which I rarely get from anime.

Story- The story is the weakest thing of Henneko. It tries to be different but still feels cliched but it will mange to entertain you just fine.

Art- As expected of J.C Staff(fun fact - My first romantic anime Golden Time was also by them.) the art is good and the character design ... is nice.

Characters - The Characters were the strength of HenNeko.you can watch it for Tsukiko alone.and after a long time I got a pervert harem MC.

Sound - You know I mentioned I got melancholic from some anime that does not happen because of a particular scene or something, it happened every time because of a piece of ost. HenNeko had that one heart stringing OST for me too,but the overall OST was also great,it fitted every scene perfectly. The MC who is a pervert is voiced by Kaji Yuki who has also voiced Hyoudou Issei(one of the biggest perv, I have seen in anime).so his voice was perfect.I would also like to give a applause for VA of Tsukiko(she was perfect as a expressionless girl)

Enjoyment- I would have I enjoyed more If had not been struck by melancholy. but still it was good.

Overall:I would rec HenNeko
1)for Tsukiko ,the perfect expressionless girl.
2) for watching a good harem.

Thank you for wasting your time reading this.

Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! aka KonoSuba(sub)

Winners don't do different things,they do things differently-Shiv Khera

Now before you say WTF the above quote has to do with this anime,read the review.

Story[8/10]-The Story here is the struck in a RPG world one.this setting has been used in number of anime but was never used really differently and here the quote from above comes into play,KonoSuba did the setting really differently hence is the winner of the AOTS winter 2016 from me.In this setting we usually get serious non - episodic story but not KonoSuba they gave us the exact opposite, a comedy episodic ... anime in the same setting and was actually funny.

Art[8/10]-I just do not know why people hate Studio Deen. The art is good and the character design are great.

Sound[8/10]-The Voice acting is Amazing and OST is good. infact VA of Megumin won an award for best new voice Actress award.

Characters[9/10]-The Characters are the Best Thing about KonoSuba.
For example instead of Giving as typical overpowered serious MC we are given a weak and funny MC. and instead of Ideal Female Leads we are Given a Useless Goddess,a Masochist crusader and a One spell pony magician.without these characters the show is nothing.they all are uniques and memorable.

Enjoyment[9/10]-Most Funniest of 2016 for now.My sides are still hurting thinking about last ep which I saw yesterday.

Overall[8.75/10]-
RECOMMENDED FOR-
*SAO Haters and Lovers.This Stuff TOTALLY parodied it which you may found Amusing.

*Looking for a comedy this anime season or looking for a comedy Overall.

Durarara!(Sub)

**SPOILER FREE**



“It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.” —Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan(favorite quote of Izaya Orihara)
...


I decide to watch Durarara! Just because of the voice cast and that was totally worth it.how? This review will try to explain that.



Story[9/10]-Durarara starts really slow to thoroughly introduce characters.but once that is over, all the mysteries that were introduced during the character introduction are revealed slowly making the story really intrigue.the pace then becomes perfect.



Art[8/10]-Art of DRRR! Is good, the depiction of busy city is accurate, and the character design is just awesome.



Sound[10/10]-Perfect just Perfect. Man I want to give voice acting and soundtrack each 10 of its own. The voice acting just brings the character really to live.whether it be kamoya hiroshi as Izaya saying'I love human' or Miyuki Sawashiro as Celty saying 'traffic cops are scary'.every single character even the supporting ones are brought to life by their respective seiyuus.



And Now towards the Soundtrack. It is composed by the same composer of as Natsume's book of friends. The Ost is as great as of Natsume but I could not believe it was the same guy as Durarara's music sounds so modern when compared to of Natsume.



Characters[Infinite/10]- Durarara has one of the best character cast I have seen in anise. I did not felt neutral about a single character.whether It be the Main Cast or supporting all were interesting and loving.and I can go into details about every character but that would ruin you fun of watching Durarara!. As DRRR! Is all about the characters.without these characters Durarara is nothing. My favorite character is Izaya Orihara.



Enjoyment[9/10]- As I have already said I loved every single character of the show. I totally enjoyed it.



OverAll -

recommended if-

*you are looking for a character driven anime.

*you are looking for an anime with awesome VA cast.

*you are looking something different from usual action and mystery



no recommended if-

*you are not in the mood of watching an anime with MANY characters.

...
Sound-The music is by the composer of Code Geass so it is really GOOD.The OP is really catchy.and every character's voice fit there character good.

Sword Art Online(Sub)
**SPOILER FREE**
I did not know about Sword Art online until recently.I watched Accel World and DanMachi before this.So everyone said that I will like this definitely.
I have not played any MMO but I am anime watcher who watch them for enjoyment.So WTF is SAO?this review will try answer that.

Story(7/10)-I thought the story would be actually descent.and it was descent even through the idea was not very unique still they manage to make stay till the first half but then they dragged the story made it overdramatic with shitty vilain.
If only the second half was not there.... then this show would ... have received more praise.

Art(10/10)-Like the third most popular anime on MAL attack on Titan. SAO has some really gorgious visuals.the background sceneries are just amazing.
the action scenes are also great.

Sound(9/10)-Voice acting was good but nothing special.
the soundtrack is really great. it increases the fun when combined the beautiful visuals.

Characters(7/10)-First thing first Kirito is not VERY OP.other than that Asuna is good waifu material and the chemistry between her and kirito is awesome.
the sister is annoying at places bit still okay.other side characters were okay too.

Enjoyment(7/10)-everyone said that if I liked DanMachi I will Surely like SAO.
they were DanMachi is WAY BETTER THAN SAO.plz watch DanMachi before watching SAO it is only 13 ep long and has a way more interesting world that the ones in SAO.

Overall-recommended for-anyone who liked DanMachi.

not reccomended for-those who hate OP MC and bad writting

Baka and Test (season 1&2 along with the OVA)(sub)
**SPOILER FREE**

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe-Albert Einstein

I was rewatching this stupid thing called Baka and Test yesterday for thinking why had this idiotic anime where characters do idiotic things in idiotic situations that made me laugh like an Idiot is in my fav anime list on top?
this review will try to answer that question.

... Story(10/10)-Do not listen to any one else it has action,drama,romance.
Baka and Test has random situations and has just one real arc and that is peeking arc(do not judge it by name plz).Baka and Test has every thing you can want in a story yup even tactics but mixed thoroughly with Stupidity

Art(10/10)-Baka and Test has nice art it is cute.the use chibhi version of main character is awesome.the polka dots use is also cute.

Sound(10/10)-Top Notch voice acting.okay I will show why.before this I might have two or three sub anime.but I immediately recognized Keima's voice from TWGOK(which I watched sometimes after this) was the same that of Akhisa Yoshi.see It left that deep impression on me.the voice just increased the stupidity fun of Baka and Test.
The soundtrack is very noticeable and is very nice to ears.

Characters(10/10)-All Main characters are idiots.
they do stupid things like
peeking
asking a girl to show her ass
playing rock,paper and scissors for deciding the who will eat the deadly food.
etc.
Okay even though being idiots all characters shine in useless ways.

Enjoyment-Let Me put it like this you might have heard that many anime watcher has this stress killer anime some people have gintama for it while some have SoL like Mushishi,Aria etc.
This anime is my stress killer.It tells me being Baka is okay,stupidity is a manly quality,grades are not everything, and last but not the least stupidity is genius(secret behind my user name is finally revealed to you all)

Overall-want to really watch something that at least will make you smile.Loved Gintama then definitely watch this.want to really watch something for enjoyment watch this

Your Lie in April(Sub)
**SPOILER FREE**
*****************
*10th Shitty Review*
*****************
'.......that's how you create the most beautiful lie of all' -Miyazono Kaori


... Your Lie in April is Very Very Very Special to me as it was my 100th Anime.
Ah Your Lie in April was an really beautiful experience of its genre since sometime.Your Lie in April really deserves the rank it has here on MAL.
why so this review will try to answer that?

Story[9/10]-The story of YLIA(I know the acronym sucks) is really different and is a good one.while the idea of a cheerful girl feeling the life of sad depressed kind boy is not new to me.But the execution was really good.It has a good pacing.through the ending is really forshadowed it will still affect you.

Art[10/10]-Since only watched anohana(was an good anime but not great for me) from A-1 Pictures before this.I did not expected much with the art.But boy I was so wrongs,The Art is really Gorgious in every single from character designs to the background locations and sceneries and from character's fingers while playing piano to the starry sky everything was just beautiful.it gave me many many WOW movements to me.

Sound[11/10]-Wait a movement did you read 11/10 yes.that is correct.It was that awesome for me. as an anime OST and Piano lover the soundtrack of Your Lie in April was like icing on cake.If the soundtrack itself was not enough add very good use of classical music to it(for example use of Chopin Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op 23 in the end beware of comments if you want to listen this on youtube ).
my fav original ost from this anime is Yuujin A-kun wo Watashi no Bansousha ni Ninmeishimasu(warning google it and listen on your own risk as there are chances of getting spoilers).

Characters[9/10]-I found my self is someways similar to kousei. the character development is really good.the only fault here is the very less focus on watari.other than that every character is given enough spotlight according to their role.

Enjoyment[10/10]-unlike my recent anime like anohana & angel beats which almost made me cry and the feeling disappeared after sometimes.
Your Lie in April left a hole in my heart like my fav romantic anime toradora and golden Time did.
I enjoyed it to the fullest.

Overall[9/10]-recommended for --
*music lovers
*looking for something dramatically good

no recommended for--
*hate sad endings
*hate quiet and shy MC

Is it Wrong To Try To Pick Girls In A Dungeon? (Sub)
**SPOILER FREE**
Is it Wrong To Try To Pick Girls In A Dungeon? or Danmachi for short was a suprisingly was good anime for me.So is it wrong to try to watch Danmachi?
This review will try to answer that question.

Story[8/10}-Danmachi has a interesting background story revolving around Gods.The setting of Dungeon is also good and interesting.The plot moves at a good pace.the problem with story is that it left some points unclear.and It is easily predictable and is easily predictable at times.

Art[8/10]-as only watched rom-coms from J.C Staff.I think they did ... a good job at action sequences.and are settings is also beautiful.

Sound[8/10]-The OsT was not memorable but has splendid voice acting in my view.The OP and the ED are Good.

Character[8/10]-The characters were generik but still awesome.Damn one of them made me teary eyed.Our MC here is the usual Shounen type hero but have one or two properties which make him different. Hestia our loli big-boobed god was a good female MC.other characters were also good.

Enjoyment[8/10]-I watched this one purely from the purpose of just being entertained.and It managed to do it with good grades.

Overall[8/10]-Recommended for -
*have not watched SAO yet but want to know will they enjoy it then they should watch this as this as it is smaller that SAO and has most recommendation for SAO if they like this

*just want some fun or entertainment while not minding the clichiness

Not Recommended for --
*Looking for anything other that entertainment

Charlotte
**SPOILER FREE**
Charlotte was the only anime last season while being on air.
So after seeing one trailer I thought this would an action adventure.But It turn out to be completely different.While I enjoyed the first half I also enjoyed the second half at the same level but with completely different feelings.Why it is so this review will try to explain that.

Story(9/10)-The story of Charlotte is really unique till the end.and that is one the very plus point about it.While the first half is full of slice of life the second half is serious and full of heart warming movements.

Art(9/10)-After watching the most ... gruesome anime of my life Another.I never expected P.A works to make some things this beautiful. From old castle to slums everything was beautiful in Charlotte.

Sound(9/10)-The soundtrack leaves its effect but is not memorable.The Voice acting was good.
The OP is very awesome.and EP is very nice too.

Character(8/10)-The characters were very generik at the beginning but in the second half the character development is really very awesome.

Enjoyment(9/10)-My first Jue Maeda work turn out to be a very good experience and I looking forward to watching angel beats.

Overall(8/10)-I recommend Charlotte to any one who is looking for something different but also have some familiarity.
