TL; DR: The series had great potential with interesting storyline and characters. However, it is extremely rushed and underdeveloped which takes away a lot of the enjoyment. The art (as expected from Kentaro Yabuki) is definitely the best point.
No Spoiler Review
I think Darling In The FranXX has a really good and original idea with a fine cast of characters. The build-up is interesting and the story develops well, there are good humour and romance.
However, the development is extremely rushed, a lot of details are left out and backgrounds of characters are hinted but then completely left out. The ending is unclear and
...
also extremely rushed and a lot of the relationships between characters are left hanging mid-development. I found this seriously intimidating and it ruined the series for me.
The only satisfying conclusion is regarding the two main characters. At least their story is told well. Also, the series is filled with cliches and overused plot structures which are irritatingly predictable.
Maybe I am too harsh but I really think the series didn't live up to its full potential.
ART
The best part for me is the art - Kentaro managed to nail facial expressions, emotions, details, and dynamics.
STORY
The story, as I mentioned, starts strong but then goes completely downhill for me.
CHARACTERS
Also had a lot of potential for great development and interesting background reveals, however nothing of this sort happened except for the two main characters.

Based on volume 1-4 (until chapter 25)
SPOLIER FREE
Akame ga kill zero is the prequel of Akame ga kill and it's main idea is to show the complete story of Akame and her little sister - Kurome. However, there is much more than that showed in the series, there are various groups of new and old characters to be observed, a more detailed look into the mindset and ideals of the rotten Empire and in general a better and more detailed exploration of the dark fantasy world of Akame ga kill.
STORY
The story, as mentioned, is focused on Akame and Kurome - the
...
series start since the very first day the Empire got their hands on them and follows how they struggle and change their mindsets towards the whole Empire situation. It gives a different perspective than the one showed in the original series since the focus is not on the Revolutionary Army, but on the Empire and their different assasination units. To be honest I expected the manga to be shorter and just expand on the past of Akame, but it turned out it is way better and rich in terms of information revealed and past of certain characters. It is the perfect addition to the world developed in the original series.
There are several different arks focusing on different aspects of the series and slowly progressing towards the culmination point of Akame's self-consciousness. Well developed and fitting perfectly to the original concept of Akame ga Kill.
CHARACTERS
The main characters are naturally Akame and Kurome. We are not showed much from the main characters of the original series, but several of them do make an appearance and seems like more of them are yet to appear as well. Esdeath and Chealsea seem to be playing a major role in the storyline and several of the Teigus the characters from the original series used are in the possestion of different people. This gives me the idea that there will be huge fights to retain those Teigus.
The new characters are also really interesting to observe and have unique personalities. The Empire is also showed as the rotten, twisted mess in a great way and there is huge focus on characters supporting the Empire, their mindset and goals.
ART
As expected, the art is on top level. I dare to say better than the original series, good attnetion to detail and fair amount of horror scenes (as well as a fair amount of ecchi and fanservice to balance it).
ENJOYMENT
For me personally, the series are quite enjoyable. I love the fact that the world of Akame ga Kill is expended and developed even more, there are new great characters and old ones are not neglected as well. The storyline is engaging and even tho we have an idea what is going to happen there are enough twists and surprsied to keep us engaged.
8/10 (So far)

I believe this is probably the best Naruto movie and it shows something every other movie lacks. It has everything from good battles, interesting characters, important problems, comedy and great music and art.
The review is spolier free :)
Read my full review here - https://wolf48blog.wordpress.com/2017/10/02/naruto-shippuuden-road-to-ninja-movie-review/
For general idea and summary of the review read the overall part, I hope it is helpful :)
Story
The story behind Road to Ninja is inspired by the Infinite Tsukuyomi - the technique that Madara uses in the original series to create the "perfect world". The goal of the technique is to trap every human being in an
...
endless dream, where their biggest desires come true and they can live in a perfect, pain-free world.
The storyline is really interesting and engaging and since it involves an "alternative world", all the characters from the original series are presented in a completely opposite way. This is really fun to observe and see them acting like we never imagined they will. The only thing I was dissatisfied with in this aspect was that they were not shown in much detail and only hinted about their reversed personalities. Naturally, there is also a strong and mysterious villain to contribute to a great battle and intense fighting scenes.
Art
As expected the art is on top level, I have to say even better than the late episodes of the series and all other movies. There is great attention to detail and interesting features of the transformed characters. It was obvious that a lot of thought an effort was put in the development of the artwork and the characteres in the movie. The director is Hayato Date , who has also worked on the majority of other Naruto movies.
Sound
Similarly to the art, the sound is beyond amazing. The music is always on point and adding up to enhance the feeling and mood the scenes are creating. The composer of the music is Yasuharu Takanashi, who is the composer of all other Naruto Shippuden movies, as well as some other Naruto projects, Gantz, Ikkitousen, Beezlebub and Fairy Tail movies. Naturally, he knows his stuff well. And he has done great job again.
Overall
In overall, I truly believe that Road to Ninja is the best Naruto Shippuuden movie. It is definitely worth watching and you will be consumed by the engaging storyline, intense battles and hard decisions. To make it better the movie shows what the characters would be like if they were living in an alternative universe and has a pinch of good comedy inside. A few of our favorite, but gone characters, also make an appearance and they all need to push themselves to the limit to defeat the ultimate villain.

The manga has an interesting storyline and quite entertaining characters, undergoing a lot of development for only 23 chapters. Original idea, good artwork and plot development with an ending open to interpretation. What can Akarui Sekai Keikaku really offer?
Read my full review here - https://wolf48blog.wordpress.com/2017/10/16/akarui-sekai-keikaku-manga-review/
For short summary read the overall section, hope it was helpful :)
Story
The story of Akarui Sekai Keikaku is actually quite original and interesting. It really kept me engaged, it was fun, it was interesting, it was tense, it had plot twists, it had everything necessary to be called good. Despite the fact that the series are
...
based on the ecchi and fanservice part, the plot was really well thought of. It had a certain amount of mistakes and plot holes, rushed endings and skipped time frames, but the overall idea and development were really good. There was a good amount of mystery, surprise and action for such a series and this made it even better.
Characters
For such a short series with a quite big variety of characters, there were really interesting personas to observe and a considerable amount of character development. There are 10 main acting characters in the series, each with his/her unique and really interesting personality. We have a tsundere, a pervert, an otaku, a stalker, a mysterious guys and so on. All of the characters are unique and undergo a special development based on things that happen to them and decision they are forced to make. They make the manga as good as it is and add a little spice to the already interesting storyline.
Art
I have to admit Izumi Kouki has done a great job in illustrating the manga. The art is on a really high level, typical for 2012-2013 manga, with a fine attention to detail. Of course, there is a big room for improvement, but the style is really good and there were just few compromises which I assume are all due to short deadlines and cutting on the series at an early stage.
Overall
In overall, I believe that Akarui Sekai Keikaku deserves a lot more attention that it is getting. It has a really interesting storyline and characters, great artwrok and a lot of plot twists and mystery that make the experience of reading it even better. It can be easily consumed in one breath and will keep you entertained all the time. The manga will certainly make you think about life and the decisions you make and is worth the time.

Renai Shimasen Ka?... Not a popular manga a lot of people have heard about. The first impression you get might be – “Oh well, another ecchi comedy, romance cliché”, however I have to say it stays away from unoriginality and it is worth reading.
Renai Shimasen Ka?’s author (story and art) is Roku Tachibana. His other works include Netabare Sensou (Spoiler Wars) and Inugami-san to Sarutobi-kun wa Naka ga Warui.
The manga was released in three volumes and sixteen chapters and ended on the 3rd of August 2013.
STORY
The story follows Fuwa Rito, a boy who has had his emotions toyed with as a
...
kid in high school. That has left a deep scar in his heart and now he has trouble trusting women so he spends all of his time playing gal games (also known as “pretty girl games”). His friend Tanaka Ruri, however is concerned about his situation and is willing to help him so she tries to set him up on a group date. Even though it is unsuccessful Fuwa meets a girl who works in a maid café (Fuwari – the girl’s maid name) and there is when the plot starts moving. The girl makes an interesting proposal to Fuwa, which he accepts out of curiosity, even though he is really confused. Little does he know that this is the beginning of his changed life.
The plot continues to resolve around Fuwa, Ruri and Fuwari with a lot of funny accidents, love triangles and situations and the typical things in every ecchi, comedy manga. However, there is something attractive in this series for me and I have to say I fairly enjoyed it till the end. The only negative point I can mention is that the ending was obviously rushed and too straightforward. I would have preferred if it was more organized and well-thought.
The story has a fair amount of twist and turns for a 16 chapters manga and it is not the cliché everyday ecchi-romance thing.
CHARACTERS
I found the character quite enjoyable to observe, with various and interesting personalities.
As mentioned Fuwa Rito has an interesting personality and past, which makes him an intriguing character who promises a lot of development. What makes him unique is that he is that otaku no-life type, but at the same time he is able to socialize just fine and he can easily go out of his otaku shell… If someone pushes him out. Tanaka Ruri’s efforts to change the situation he is in are also worth mentioning. At first she appears to be a character indifferent to everything, but with the development of the plot and moving of the storyline I came to realize she is the tsundere type, who is also hiding a secret and undergoes a serious character development. She is a funny and spontaneous character I really loved in the series. Her willingness to help Fuwa was the reason a lot of events took place and I really appreciated her during the chapters.
Hoshino Shizuki also known as Fuwari (her maid name) is the shy maid type we are used to seeing. But there was something about her that made me appreciate her. Her competitiveness and unexpected behavior (in a good way) were what caught my attention. And of course as every character in this series she has a secret she unveils in the end of the manga. She was quite fun to observe I admit, the development of her relationship with both Fuwa and Ruri were worth seeing and were full of twists and turns. Her personality and actions start setting the foundations of a very interesting relationship with the main character and are also the reason for a lot of events taking place throughout the manga. So in overall she is an enjoyable character to follow (I have to mention oppai as well :3).
Sakuraki Akihiro and Sakagami Tomohiko are the two supporting characters, friends of Fuwa Rito and also his roommates. There is not much to say about them since they make an appearance the first one or two chapters and then show up just to add a little stupidity and humor to the storyline. The typical no-life otakus (unlike Fuwa), who have no knowledge of how to interact with real people and the only think they dream about is … guess what – boobs. But I have to admit they did their job in contributing to the awkward and funny situations in the manga several times.
ART
I have to say the art was really good. It suited my expectations for this kind of light, relaxing type of manga. As mentioned the artist of the manga is Tachibana Roku, not a really famous one, but he deserves some appreciation. He has two more manga he worked on, both of which have a great artwork as well, but Renai Shimasen Ka? definitely stands on top. The art is contemporary with a touch of originality, it is obvious that the artist drew with passion. I sincerely enjoyed the art and storyline of the manga!
Also this is only Roku’s second work ( his last project - Inugami-san to Sarutobi-kun wa Naka ga Warui finalized in 2014) which is quite remarkable and means he can only improve in the future.
So in overall, I have to say Renai Shimasen Ka? is a manga worth reading. Being an ecchi, comedy, romance manga it stays away from clichés, but has anything necessary for the genres and makes the experience of reading it quite enjoyable. There is a fair amount of oppai, nudity, pantsu and everything an ecchi should have. The story is complicated enough for a 16 chapters manga and there is a great deal of character development, the relationship between different character are fun to observe and develop fast. The art is also really good and this makes the manga even better. The only negative point I have to mention is that the ending was too rushed and it deserved more than 16 chapters.

Soul Eater NOT! Is not a sequel to the original Soul Eater, it is considered a side story with different characters, but the same setting. However, the actions take place before the events in the original series.
In the title - Soul Eater NOT!, NOT stands for Normally Overcome Target, but it might be a wordplay since the anime has almost nothing to do with the serious battles and action of the original.
• STORY
As I said the focus of the story are not the characters from Soul Eater (Maka, Soul, Kid, Death Star, etc.), even though they do make a few appearances
...
in the show and Maka certainly has a role in the plot.
The story revolves around three girls entering the NOT class. The focus is put on the things students in DWMA do in their free time – when not in class. It shows a bit more of Death City, the girl dorm and a café in the city. Even though the story is quite more relaxed and slow paced, lack of action is compensated for in the final 2-3 episodes. A witch with strong mind control powers – Shaula Gorgon - makes an appearance and is the main villain in the show. In overall, the show might remind you of the original in its final two or three episodes where an actual fight erupts and important decisions are made.
Basically, the show lacks the action of the original and the focus in on the daily lives of DWMA students.
• CHARACTERS
There are three main characters, all of which are girls. Harudori Tsugumi, a weapon, lacks self confidence and is very indecisive. However Maka manages to encourage her not to give up and defend her friends with all means possible. Anya Hepburn, a meister, actually a princess who came to DWMA to study the life and manners of commoners. Meme Tatane, another meister, who tendst to be very forgetful and clumsy, but in the same time skilled in battles.
The three girls meet on the first day of school and easily become friends. The interesting thing is that we are showed two meisters using one weapon for the first time.
As you can probably tell, there is strong character development for all the girls. They experience a lot together and manage to overcome everything with a lot of effort which certainly helps them evolve.
Two boys from the EAT (especially advanced talents) class take part of the action – Akane Hoshi and Clay Sizemore. They have a few very important tasks to do in the plot.
Also, there appears to be a witch in DWMA, called Kim Diehl(those who have read the Soul Eater might recognize her, since she appeared there and had interactions with Kid). However she is not a spy or anything like that and helps DWMA however she can. She has an interesting personality and tends to take money for everything, which makes her a really fun and enjoyable character to observe.
As I said the main characters from Soul Eater do make an appearance, even though just for a little bit. However, the focus is far away from them. The one thing that disappointed me a lot was that Shinigami-sama never made an appearance in the show. I think it is important to show him at least once since he is the most important character for the entire city, not to mention the school.
• ART
The art of Soul Eater NOT! Has almost nothing to do with the art in the original. However, I found it really enjoyable. Everything was well drawn and animated, attention was paid to every detail. Everything typical for a 2014 anime show. And it is not one of those censured animes, which don’t show blood, there is a normal amount of blood for that kind of a show. For those wondering, the producers of Soul Eater NOT! Include Bones, FUNimatio, TV Tokyo and Square Enix.
MUSIC
The music is also good, for that kind of show. There weren’t many intense moments with tense music, but everything was suitable for the setting. Tense music, however, appeared when necessary.
The opening and ending themes are performed by Haruka Chisuga, Aoi Yuuki, Saori Hayami and Dancing Dolls!!. The music itself is by Yuki Hayashi and Atsami Tachibana.
I usually don’t pay much attention to the opening and ending of an anime after the first episode, so I can’t say much, but I was not annoyed by them at all.
In overall, Soul Eater NOT! Puts the focus on the other side of DWMA, the daily lives of students and the NOT class. If you are looking for a show with a lot of action and intense battles you won’t find it in Soul Eater NOT!. However, the show is interesting and makes the environment around Death City and DWMA more clear.
It is a nice show and a good way to relax and maybe slightly remember about the original Soul Eater.

To begin with I've seen only 2 bleach movies (that one and Fade to Black). As for Fade to Black I was a little disappointed, I expected a lot more from it but nevermind thats a review for movie 4 not 3.
So, for those who havn't seen the battle - Ichigo vs Ulquiorra this will be something like a spoiler so you better watch all the series before the movie.For those who have already seen it you will love that movie.Im not saying that the movie is about Ichigo battling Ulquiorra... Anyway it will also be a favourite movie for all Hollow Ichigo fans.
...
You will see him in his full form and in action. You will also see a new form of Ichigo. And also there is a new badass character who appears in the beggining.
Almost in the all of the time you will be able to see amazing battles.(Not only Ichigo's) Also you will love the music - its always on time and on the right place. The most memorable things form the movie are the battles... but not only.
You will also be able to see some showing of Orihime's feelings.(Finally but not too much of tham). Most of the characters will act badass so dont be surprised. Yeah if you watched the series you wont but anyway I had to say this.
Ok Im finishing. The ending- it was just epic (as I said you will see Ichigo in his new form but thats not all.) The song and the scenes are amazing.
All in all it is one epic bleach movie, that all bleach fans must see. You will love it.

This is my first review.
To begin with the title doesnt lie at all. You may not understand it form the first episodes but when you watch the final episode everything will become clear. GTO has everything - comedy, action, romance, drama, and some pervert characters. I enjoyed every single minute of it and its now one of my favourite animes. At first it looks like a shounen comedy, but after 10-15 episodes it shows some important social problems. There are a lot of things that wont be clear to you until you see the last episode but you will definitely enjoy it. Its really
...
strange that a funny and perverted character like Onizuka can be so serious and can even teach something the older people. You will be able to see the matureing of the character throughout the episodes. Its amazing that a teacher like Onizuka can win the respect of his students, who all hate him because ... You will see why (I dont want to spoil).
All in all GTO is an amazing anime full with excitement, fun and entertaiment. If you're a true anime fan you must definitely watch it!!! You wont be disppointed!!!
