It is not difficult to understand what kind of anime it is, it's enough to literally look at the poster to deduce that the story will not be very deep but that there will be a lot of beatings, violence and blood. At first it looked like a heavy and difficult anime to follow but after the second episode I had practically already guessed the goal of the story: to show how much Raou is a badass. Each time he reminds us that if there is an enemy he will destroy him with his fist and every time someone tries to challenge him we already ... know that Raou will come out the winner.
Some scenes are a bit repetitive, this cannot be denied and the other two main characters, Reina and Souga, are quite boring. I'm glad that the post-apocalyptic dark themes, typical of Hokuto no Ken, have not been eliminated; having said that there are scenes that had to be serious but that made me laugh (and I'm ashamed).
An example is when Raou meets his steed, I will not describe the scene in order not to spoil but know that it had to be a serious episode and that I started laughing because I found the episode itself ridiculous.
All in all the series was not too bad and in general I liked it. It's not the best anime of Hokuto no Ken but it's decent.

Initially I thought that this anime was horrible but I had to change my mind. The story in general is very well managed and the characters are very interesting to follow. I could call it one of those few yuri that is worth seeing (as opposed to Citrus).
The romantic element of the story is very well managed and is not trivialized at all, in fact, I was almost surprised by the management of some scenes. However we are not talking about a perfect anime, obviously, it tends to be boring in some scenes but nothing serious. Personally I found the comic element of some scenes ... annoying, which seemed to me to be slightly forced. Kanade Sakurai is the one I prefer most among the twins, maybe because I find the character more interesting. But these are just personal tastes.
I was surprised that the relationship between the two remains platonic. For some it could be a minus point but I prefer something simple rather than scenes full of ecchi but without romantic content.
I recommend it for those looking for a shojo-ai story that is not complicated to follow and does not leave a bad taste in the mouth.

No. I categorically refuse to consider Fate / Extra Last Encore a beautiful anime. I'm sorry for all those who love the series but no. Simply no. I don't think I can put into words the illness I felt in watching the different episodes. I have witnessed all kinds of horrors and I'm not kidding. I'm talking about the inexpressive faces of Kishinami Hakuno, the lack of psychological depth of the protagonist, the stupidity of the story and Nero Claudius.
Holy Mary, here we are: we are talking about Nero Claudius.
Do you know Artoria Pendragon? Good. Take her face, change her body and throw the depth ... of her psychology into the garbage. Having done this you will have Nero Claudius.
An idiotic, repetitive character, with a story not at all equal to that of the real Nero. A female character who is present only to give an extra reason to some fans to go back to browse the hentai doujinshi of Nero Claudius.
The fight scenes are pretty bad and the characters get lost in useless dialogues and here you have to bow to the producers, do you know why? Because they really thought they were hiding the narrative scheme: two episodes for each level and then on. What bullshit!
Combat choreographies are boring and you can easily see several animation errors. The only decent thing about this anime is that in the end it ended …
Oh! No! Wait! In reality it is not finished! Three episodes are still missing due to a delay in the release. I don't recommend it to anyone. It's not at all an anime worthy of carrying forward Fate's animated franchise. I'm sorry but it's not worth to watch it, I was the first to be hopeful but I was disappointed by this pile of garbage.

A very beautiful anime and one of my personal favorites. Subjectively speaking I consider it a very well-made anime characterized by a deep story and well-detailed characters.
It is obviously not an action anime and it mostly deals with different aspects of Japanese culture, the story is surrounded by various mysteries that Oreki Houtaru must solve because he is spurred on by Chitanda Eru (or rather because he is initially annoyed by her curiosity). The beauty of the story is that it manages to go on building characters with truly extraordinary care. Both the secondary and the main characters are kept in the spotlight and are ... evolved in an exceptional way.
Besides being in love with the story and the drawings that have a unique charm, I also fell in love with the soundtrack that uses pieces of classical music to be able to build peaceful atmospheres worthy of a moving poem. The settings are very immersive and I have to congratulate the way in which the relationship between Oreki and Chitanda was managed.
We already know that the two are practically in love with each other, but the best part is that the anime does not become trivial, trying to force an unnecessary romantic plot.
The relationship between Satoshi and Oreki is one of the most interesting. Satoshi is one who knows so many things. He considers himself a living archive. He has different notions of different types and he is also fun, lively and loves to socialize. In short, he is the exact opposite of Oreki. Yet he is jealous of Oreki. Of course, he knows a lot of things but he can't reason like Oreki. He can't understand him. He can't emulate him. Oreki, who is always alone, who is always silent, who never socializes, who does not like to study and who is not a lively type, is able to reveal the most complicated mysteries only with the use of simple reasoning, logic .
Chitanda Eru is a lively girl, very curious, who loves to know things and loves to solve the darkest mysteries. But looking at her from the outside, she looks like the perfect girl. She is a beautiful girl, with a well-formed body, with the highest grades in school and with a very rich family. Already the series makes us understand that she is very good at socializing, has many friends and knows how to make herself loved. And yet, from episode two, we understand that she doesn't consider herself perfect. Indeed, she does not even believe she is particularly intelligent. Why? Because, as she herself says, she is very good at learning things and studying them, but what she wants is to discover the origin of ideas. The origin of thought.

From the beginning of the series, Satoshi and Ibara, treat Oreki as a lazy boy who doesn't want to do anything and who is boring but then they come to respect him more and more for what he is, but it's not that they begin to consider him a god who came down to earth.
This is an aspect that I found very beautiful. In many similar anime the protagonist is treated as a loser who suddenly turns out to be cool and then at that point all the girls in the universe gravitate around him. I'm glad this didn't happen with Oreki, making him look like a boy like many others. He's not a perfect boy, but there is no denying that he's special.
I advise you to look at Hyouka, if you have never done it before, you might like it just like me , I can guarantee you that Hyouka is an anime that must be seen at least once in a lifetime.

Certainly anyone who loves pain surely loves this anime. It's not like the plot sucks. It's not that the characters are horrendous. I could say that it is a combination of horrendous characters, action scenes full of useless fanservice, a monstrously horrendous plot, useless dialogues and female characters born simply to embody the fetishes of the spectators.
Watching Highschool of the Dead is like falling off a mountain with an anchor firmly attached to the testicles and with an iron pole tucked down the throat.
You must be a crazy masochist to love this series. I could easily make a list of the defects in this series.
The ... protagonist is the typical alpha male who needs to prove himself the strongest of all. Slap the ladies, harass the ladies and when he is angry with the ladies because he can't make them think, he grabs them by the dress and shakes them like potato sacks. The typical alpha male who does not think but acts. Acts like a complexed gorilla. But anyway it acts.
Then we have the "genius" named Takagi Saya who is basically a spoiled girl who says obvious (or wrong) things and who because of her arrogance (and her money) thinks she's the smartest in the group. Yeah, right!
Takagi loves to bully poor Kohta Hirano but when Takashi arrives and vents his aggression on her then she stays silent like a submissive girl.
Then we have Rei who is simply an idiot.
Then we have Saeko who is the samurai who loves "preserving the pride of a man" in other words she loves ******* ***** of alpha males like Takashi. Nice way to treat a female character, really a nice way.
Alice is useless as a fridge in the North Pole. Shizuka, the busty nurse, is simply the biggest joke in the history of Japanese animation.

Where do zombies come from? Have they been created? Are they the result of a pandemic? Is there a virus behind the zombies? Where does this virus come from? Is it all the work of a curse thrown by an old monk with a white beard and hatred of humanity?

I don't know.

Do I like yuri? Yup.
Do I like Netsuzou TRap? Not even if I died.
You see the problem with this series is that it could have been a good story, the potential was there, but it was wasted with stories of abuse that were not over-analyzed and a homosexual love story that had nothing particularly compelling. I would certainly have preferred something more like Shoujo Sect, which despite being a hentai has a lot more romance than this pile of dung that is called anime.
But who am I to judge, right? I'm just that poor devil who had to watch a cheap yuri. This anime is ... an animated torture. I left this anime after the sixth episode. Too much dung for me.
If you are masochists, I send you my best wishes because this series is for you.

I ask you not to read this review if you have not seen the whole anime. Understand? Understood.


Ok, then, Holy Mary, this anime has been a pile of cheap psychological rubbish. Let's start with Yuuki who always finds a way to faint and to apologize every time. Seriously, this girl is not repetitive, it's a broken record. I realized that Yuuki has to do stupid things so that she can be more submissive than the two guys who want her for them. This girl is a lost case and I am sorry to have to say it but she cannot understand that Kaname knows more ... about the devil and every time she tries to rebel against that fool, then she comes out with a: "I'm sorry, Kaname-sama!"
I mean, come on! But how can you make a female character so bad? Let's not talk about the fact that Zero becomes Kaname's bitch. You have a serious character like Zero, a vampire hunter who is cool like no other, yet for some reason ends up depending on Kaname. Zero literally becomes another pawn in the large chessboard of that incestuous vampire. In just one season, Zero's dignity disappears.
Kaname is Yuuki's brother.
A moment of silence. Hands up who would never have expected it. Did you raise your hand? You lied. You lied and you know it.
Kaname is Yuuki's older brother and wants to marry her so that he has a vampire offspring that has pure blood. Damn! Yuuki really had a difficult choice to make (sarcasm). After she was vampirised, she had to choose whether to have a story with Zero, the guy with whom she grew a healthy romantic relationship, or to have a story with Kaname, her older brother who manipulated her for two whole seasons. Tough choice, huh?
In the end, Vampire Knight is simply a mediocre anime on vampires.

I'm a fan of vampire series, I can't deny it, but Vampire Knight isn't exactly the anime I expected. The romantic element is an obvious thing being a shojo but still the characters can be boring enough to listen to. The relationship between Yuuki and Zero is nourished with beautiful doses of fanservice in order to make us love the couple but personally I don't like either one.
Yuuki tends to be slightly repetitive and is so submissive to Kaname that I vomit. Vampire fights are horrendous. The vampires of the story are not at all convincing and to make matters worse there is the continuous ... struggle between Kaname and Zero to have the hand of Yuuki (I said "hand" but I meant another word that starts with "p"). As if this were not enough, the series tries to draw on a sort of mystery about Yuuki's past, this poor fool tries to find out more about her origins and anyone would be able to intuit that between Yuuki and Kaname there is a *BEEEP*.
Exactly, I avoided making spoilers.

My first hentai and my first yuri. Good memories, really, too bad that the story is not the best. As much as I can adore some characters like Shinobu, anyway I have to admit that it's quite disappointing as anime. He takes a 6 only because in general it is not bad, but to be honest it is worse than the manga. I read the manga long after seeing the anime and was shocked by the number of hentai scenes and their presentation compared to the anime.
Some scenes are nice, I can't deny it, but in general it's not exactly a good anime. The romantic ... element is what attracted me to the series, in all honesty, and I always liked the happy ending. If you are looking for a mediocre yuri hentai anime this is for you, it is not a masterpiece and does not have a great story. Three episodes easy, easy to consume.

An intriguing story, a mystery that unites the psychological theme with the horror one in a style that is very reminiscent of Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The characters have such a realistic psychology that they are almost human and this is one of the most interesting aspects of the anime. I am not speaking only of the protagonist who, I would like to comment, has a brilliantly written and not forced evolution; I also speak of Johan Liebert. The antagonist of the story is a dark, evil character, whose vision of human suffering and death coincides with an exploration of the void that very much resembles the ... idea of Nietzsche's Beyond-Man. The very idea of "inner monster" could, in my opinion, recall some texts of psychoanalysis written by Deveroux where a devouring personality destroys itself and everything that comes close to it.
The "inner monster" of Johan could also be a reference to some ancient cultures like the Babylonian one (in the dualism Gilgamesh / Enkidu) but I am digressing a little bit.

The main theme of the anime is in my opinion the importance of human life and the choices of each individual. We have two characters, two characters that exist in a dichotomy of saving and destroying. Tenma, the protagonist, is a very good surgeon and he represents the one who wants to preserve life, in fact he doesn't want to kill anyone. Johan, on the other hand, is a murderer whose purpose seems to be to stop all human suffering by killing anyone, creating chaos. Tenma is an explorer of human life, in fact he experiences different characters and interacts with each of them trying to understand them; Johan is an explorer of suffering, of death and he wants to bring out the worst in people.

The music is crazy. Sometimes it offers calm and quiet melodies and at other times it makes you shudder with horror film sounds, especially in Johan's scenes. The music during his murders remembers, in fact, the music of a monster, of an evil being that only wants to hurt.
I must also compliment the style with which the characters were drawn and the animations that are slow but natural. I realize that this is not an anime for everyone because it is long enough and for some it might be boring. But I can guarantee that it is a masterpiece that deserves to be looked at.
