Physically in pain and mentally insane. School-Live! is a story that takes your expectations and crushes them. On the surface, it has cute moe girls living in school doing school things, and if you've read the synopsis, doing it all the middle of a few zombies. I assure you, there is much more to it.

Suspense and heartbreak can destroy a person as they leave people on edge and emotionally destroyed. School-Live! is not scared to bring this to the table with it's 'horror' tag here on MAL. Each character has their own story on what they're doing to survive. Blood and death fill the lives ... of the viewers and the characters as each one is doing what they must to stay alive. Even if it means they must kill the ones they love or destroy themselves from inside their minds.

Even so, it has its light-hearted moments to give you a break. A chance for you to love the characters and to get even more attached before the show throws something else at you making your heart ache for them even more.

School-Live! is highly enjoyable and a must for all horror fans. A show doesn't need to be full of gore for it to scare you. This has and always will be a favourite for me and I defiantly recommend it to anyone.

Osomatsu-san is an anime that captures Humour and Slice Of Life really well. I always find myself crying in laughter at least once when I watch this show. It has a good balance between a proper story and progression alongside the skits in each episode as there are references and such used from episodes previous. It also has characters that are so low that it comes around to be really funny. Once you start this anime, it will strap you in and you will get addicted.

The humour is so hilarious at times that I catch myself laughing even after watching it. This is of course ... my personal taste as I like most internet memes or gags. Honestly though, each skit is so different from the last that you will find at least something that will make you laugh.

Even though this show is made up of skits, there is progression and emotional scenes. References are used from past episodes to form character personalities ((Choromatsu pfft)) and such. Also there are some skits that will make you empathise for the characters giving you a bit of everything.

Everyone in the show is sh**ty. I don't mean that in a bad way though. They are the bottom of society and seeing them try to up themselves but failing in the worst way possible is what makes them all so low. You grow to love them though. It's impossible not to!

Although not everyone will enjoy Osomatsu-san, I honestly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a laugh. You will feel happy, sad and even angry throughout the whole anime giving you feels from all over the place. Even the characters will have you wanting to see more to see what they have to say. If you give this anime a chance, I assure you that you will want to watch it till the end. Trust me, it really is a gem that is shining as bright as I say it is!

Osomatsu-san is a rollercoaster of fun. I am a massive fan of the Anime and once I started reading the manga, I wasn't disappointed. This review will not be based on the aspects of the Manga alone, but more on the adaptation from the Anime.

The manga keeps to the anime's story style in how we have lots of little mini-plots among the one. Each chapter in this Manga is something different which I enjoy. I like to have a little bit of something different to read each chapter than a super long story of the same plot. It spices it up a little compared to ... everything else I'm reading.

The art style is very much like the anime. They are all drawn in their muppet-like style with the same humour we got in the Anime. It's kinda like the Anime, but written form and different stories.

Each character is the same. All of the brothers still sticking to their personalities perfectly, it really is enjoyable to read! It's like I'm watching a new episode of Osomatsu-san, but it's something new then what has already been published int the anime.

The only problem I see with it is that reading the Osomatsu-san humour compared to watching it is quite different. It doesn't have that same kick that the anime has. Still enjoyable for an Osomatsu-san fan though.

My Hero Academia is an inspiring story about achieving your dreams. It makes me feel invested in the characters and their stories. I cried, I laughed and overall enjoyed this series.
I gave this series a 10 for a reason, even if not everyone agrees with me.
Here is what I thought on each aspect of the show if you are interested.

Story: 8
In a world where you don't fit in, and fate is against your dreams is tough. Especially when everyone reminds you everywhere you go. As generic as this is, I felt they delivered it right. Over the span of 2 episodes, we see our MC ... Midoriya go from Zero to Hero. We see characters like Bakugou that are born powerful and we see characters like Midoriya that aren't. It helps us see the difference and how reality can suck. He's not gifted, he doesn't 'magically' get his quirk, he works for it. This sends off a good message and makes me motivated to do things.

If you have seen shows like 'Black Clover' or 'Naruto', you may say that they are similar in some aspects. If this was a review for those shows, I would rate the same.

The whole hero idea and everyone having power really appeals to me than just one kid being 'special' and 'one-of-a-kind' with his power among a normal society.

Art: 10
Can I just start with how much I LOVE this artstyle? Everything looks attractive and appealing to the eye. Especially the characters hero costumes. The facial expressions are very accurate to their personalities AND, the fight scenes are animated fantastically! This one may not appeal to everyone the way it does for me, but I love how everything is designed and drawn by being so smooth.

Sound:10
You Say Run. A track played multiple times through the first episode. It is played differently though at different parts to either sound sad or bold. The way the track is played when his mother tells him that he can't be a hero and when Midoriya attempted to saved Bakugou and when All Might told Midoriya he can be a hero really struck me. The same song made me feel different emotions at different times proving that 'You Say Run goes with everything' (Don't quote me on that.)

Various other tracks really set the mood making the intensity higher, or the moment more depressing. MHA's OST is really a work of art that is highly under appreciated.

Character: 9
I feel invested in each and every character’s story. If it’s a Pro Hero, a Student or a Villain, they all have a story to tell. Each character has a unique personality making them stand out for different reasons and I like that. Of course some characters are not very likeable while others would be considered “cliche”, but that shouldn’t turn you away. Each quirk also makes each character special and I like that.

Enjoyment: 9
From the fight scenes to when we see Midoriya progress as a hero, I feel invested in the story and what's going on. I leave wondering what will happen next and what the result will be. I feel excitement bubble in my stomach and I feel empathy from the bottom of my heart at almost every scene that is made to make you feel. Of course some parts are a little slow, but the parts that get me going outshine those by a landslide!

Overall: 10

My Hero Academia is a story that made me invest majority of my thoughts into it in a positive way. I believe that anyone can enjoy this show if they keep an open mind to it. I assure you that if you like superheroes, mystery, action, you will most certainly walk away with at least some kind of happiness after completing this show and it will drag you back in for more in Season 2.

URAHARA is a very unique anime. It is made to represent the city of Harajuku in Japan which is crazy and wacky, which this anime captures amazingly ((As I have been there myself)). Other than that, here is my look on each part of the show.

Story: 7
The story is no doubt new. If you want something different from the cliche, you may enjoy this. I however found the idea interesting. Of corse they had the idea there, it just wasn't presented very well. The explanation they give is very confusing and you need a minute to take in just what it means. The pacing is ... also very fast as they just go from being normal girls to super girls all within' 1 episode. At least it is wasting no time and is getting straight to the point which I like.

Art: 6
The art in this is very memorable. Lots of colour and unique objects that are hard to forget. The style of the art though really turns me off. It's rough and done to be a scrapbook style. I don't particularly like that. Some might though as this is just all my opinion.

Sound: 7
I LOVE the Theme song and Ending song. They match up quite well with what the show is all about and I like that. The sound track is quite average as well as the sound effects. Nothing too special in that field.

Character: 6
I should have marked this lower, but I'm being very kind because I love Rito. She is a likeable character because of her calm and strong-willed nature. All of the other characters are very cliched though, some annoying. The designs of the 3 girls and the Scoopers are appealing to the eye though which I do enjoy. It's just their personalities that let them down.


Enjoyment: 8
It was quite enjoyable to watch because of the visuals and their voices. I liked that part very much. It held my attention and left me smiling, and thats all I ask for in a show. To entertain me which it did.

Overall: 7
I like this show, but it's nothing too special. It might grow more on me the more I watch, but for now, I think it's best for people who are just looking for something new to watch. Young girls should enjoy this, but don't expect too much. It's not going to be very big because it's not aimed at westerners clearly. It's just enough to leave you pondering with a happy feeling afterwards.
