I enjoyed Akame ga Kill! is a show that I very much enjoyed, but I can understand why a good amount of the anime community doesn't. There are a number of problems with the series on its own that are hard too ignore.

Story - 8/10

Akame ga Kill! is not the only series to come up with the "evil government controls everything" type of story, but that isn't a bad thing. It does pretty well at explaining many of the problems with in the world it has created. Hearing character backgrounds definitely makes you hate some of the characters that are meant to be hated and ... you want to root for the main characters most definitely. However as most people know, Akame ga Kill! the anime is done and there are no more episodes to watch. The same cannot be said for the manga. The anime unfortunately skips over an arc of the manga, and also has some facts that are different from the manga (this however is not a bad thing and can be considered the anime's own take on the series). However people take this part of the series is left up to your own personal preference.

Art - 7/10

The art in Akame ga Kill! is good. Its not bland, but it isn't one of the most eye catching works that we've all seen can be done in anime. My only complaint is that I can't really tell what time period the show is meant to be taking place in, although that may be nitpicking on my part.

Sound - 7/10

Similar to the show's art, the sound track isn't necessarily bland, but it doesn't stand out much either. The good thing is that the music fits the show.

Character - 8/10

The characters can be considered, in my opinion, the worst and best part of the series. I had trouble on deciding to go with either 6 or 8, but ultimately I chose 8. Character development is fairly decent in the show. Each character gets a moment to shine and show what they're made of. Most of the characters have a fairly good background that fits with the story as well. The main problem with the characters is that, when things seem to be going downhill, the characters don't seem to show a lot of emotion. This is not as much of a problem in the manga, but I know that not everyone reads the manga.

Enjoyment - 9/10

Despite enjoying the manga more than the anime, I can enjoy the anime as its own separate entity despite the differences between the two. The manga itself is not void of problems either, but what else is new. Akame ga Kill! is very enjoyable to watch.

Overall - 8/10

I enjoyed the series and hope that some day it might retrieve the same treatment as FMA in getting a reboot, but even if it doesn't, I'm not complaining.

Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai is a cute slice of life series with a very interesting topic that is unfortunately not expanded on enough.

Story - 7/10

The story doesn't really develop much until the later episodes, and though it felt rushed I quite enjoyed the idea that the plot was trying to create. Unfortunately with as short as the show was, I felt like there wasn't enough time to fully enjoy it.

Art - 5/10

I must say that the artwork for the series did not stand out very much. Had it not been for the PV's I saw I might've skipped over the series without a second glance. There's ... nothing special about it.

Sound 6/10

The soundtrack also did not standout too much. The opening and ending songs were cute to say the least.

Character - 6/10

I give the characters a 6/10 because they were fairly generic and could have been pulled out of any other visual novel adaptation, but combined with the plot of the anime I feel like there was a lot of untapped potential for character development.

Enjoyment - 8/10

The show is definitely a decent watch. The characters, though uninspired, were cute to watch, and the plot makes you think a little.

Overall - 7/10

Overall, the show is decent. Not much can be said about a show that had its plot rushed within the second half of a series that is only 12 episodes. Its a decent slice of life series at the most.

11eyes had a lot of potential to become an interesting and deep anime, but once again the problems of adapting a visual novel show itself in this anime.

Story - 5/10

Although not the most original concept for an anime, 11eyes had a lot of potential to expand on the world it had created, but unfortunately very quickly shows that it wanted to focus more on other themes than to world build or develop a coherent plot.

Art - 7/10

In my opinion the art was probably the better parts of 11eyes. There are obvious signs that 11eyes is a visual novel adaptation like the cute female characters, but ... that didn't seem to get in the way of the darker scenes that the anime tried to pull off. And the contrast between cute characters and the "red night" is actually quite nice.

Sound - 8/10

The soundtrack for 11eyes doesn't necessarily stand out much, however they are not entirely forgettable and fit each scene nicely. The opening and ending songs are very addicting in my opinion, and I am proud to say that I am addicted to them.

Character - 6/10

The characters are definitely where 11eyes falls flat. There is not enough time in 12 episodes to develop these characters that have obviously long and complicated backgrounds and the anime truly shows that. The character personalities are also painfully generic and they don't show much emotion despite the situation they are put in.

Enjoyment - 6/10

11eyes is fairly enjoyable, and to be honest I am being very generous in giving this series and overall 6/10, but it is not entirely horrendous. The show does not fail in at least creating some complications and exciting to watch scenes.

Overall - 6/10

11eyes is definitely deserving of harsh criticism and it shows the many problems that can occur during a light novel adaption, but it does not fall completely on its back. There are worse series out there. If anything 11eyes can be enjoyed as a short series to pass the time.

As a viewer who has never actually seen most of the .hack// series I decided to view .hack//Quantum as a way to get me interested in the rest of the series. In short, I would say that yes I am interested in the rest of the series. And I would definitely recommend to a friend who was interested in seeing new anime or in watching the rest of the series itself like me.

However, as many other reviews for this anime have stated .hack//Quantum does not seem to stand up to the rest of the series as a whole and I might recommend for a viewer ... to simply pass it unless they are a long time fan of the series.
