As a great fan of the original Irresponsible Captain Tylor and appreciator of short anime, I can safely say: This crap stain just don't know which public it was made for.
Is it for the fans of the original series? Well, ICT aired in 1993. I was born in 1993, and watched the series in 2015. I am 25 years old. Why in the world would someone like me enjoy a series that's just a very very poor attempt to make a children's series? Not even a kid would find this funny.
Now. Imagine the people who watched ICT in the original airing. These people are
...
probably 30-40 years old now. This isn't adult humor - they would sleep. And isn't children's humor either. It's not funny to anyone.
What about the original characters? Would a long-term fan be happy to see them again? Well... They just aren't here.
Remember how Tylor used to be a parody of Yang Wenli (Legend of the Galactic Heroes)? A kind, careless, lazy and kinda selfish character, who doesn't care for battles or becoming a hero, but gifted with a rare strategical mind which can win space battles with unusual, unexpected ideas. The original Tylor follows this pattern, just in a comedic way.
Banjou Tylor is nothing like the original. He's just lazy. A happy-go-lucky lazy kid. That's his only character trait. I know, I know, each episode is only 3 min long. Well, a single episode of, let's say, Saiki Kusuo no Psi-Nan (5 minutes long) has better character development than 12 episodes of Musekinin Galaxy Tylor. God, even Pupa has.
The same thing can be said about Goza and Yamamoto. Just dim shadows of their original versions. Yamamoto is not even human anymore. His turning into a robot must have been an attempted joke about his robotic personality in ICT. It didn't work.
And, again, remember when I said that this doesn't look like it's made for children? Take a look at Dolly's clothes. She's a new character. "Character", pffff. Tell me that her... Panties??? are suitable for a children's series!
Finally, the story. I don't know what kind of story this thing is trying to tell. Eveything happens as if you're watching McGyver. Asspulls and nonsensical events. The nonsensical events are there just to generate jokes. Jokes that aren't funny. Everything works like an ouroboros. A snake biting its own tail. Except, it's not a snake. It's a very long piece of shit.
CONCLUSION: Musekinin Galaxy Tylor isn't for the old fans of the series. Isn't for children (it's PG rated!). Isn't for anyone. Don't watch this.

Not much to see here. I came as an enthusiast of space-themed anime, but this wasn't about space at all, but about physics, mathematics and calculation.
The story is shallow and nothing interesting happens at all; you are left with a couple of beautiful, very well-animated scenes, but no compelling events for the plot. They study, they drink, they build a kind of spaceship, go on their mission and... That's it.
It's like you're seeing a slideshow of some trip your uncle Joe went to in 1979 and all he talks about is how good it was, but you get no feeling out of it, you just
...
can't relate. Uncle Joe is a bad storyteller. Maybe he worked on Spirit of Wonder.
The animation is adorable, the designs, the colors, the faces of the characters, all make you smile. Good music, it gets the mood right.
You don't get to know the characters very well. This is why I'm saying it's pretty difficult to care about something here. All you see them talking about is science. Ok, the title is SCIENTIFIC Boys Club. But at least I was expecting some kind of uh deep human relationships. I see they laugh, argue and smile, loving science together, but I don't see why. I can't understand how. Windy is the only likeable character there, yet she almost never talk.
If you're not expecting a compelling story and just wants to kill time, this can be a good, beautiful surprise. For me, personally, it didn't work.

I've always wanted to review Nanatsu, but I just couldn't give myself energy to do it. There's a lot of wrong things in this piece, and to flesh out each of them is gonna take time - but I really need to. A lot of reviews on MAL just didn't get to these points, so I'll have to talk about them myself.
Nanatsu is your average shonen, with ALL the cliches you can expect to see (overpowered characters, tits, superpowers, power of friendship and shit). But not only shonen cliches, also medieval story cliches: unbelievably unbreakable swords, giant monsters everywhere, kingdoms and knights, games of power
...
and sexism - A LOT of sexism. I'm actually surprised no one has talked about it until now. But let's move on and I'll flesh this out later.
The story is a huge cliche, but has some interesting ways of don't letting it show - it is never clear if the seven deadly sins are good, bad or just a bunch of chaotic neutral egoists (much like Genei Ryodan from HxH). The corruption inside the holy knights is shown in a way that makes you think before you judge. Are they really the evil ones, they're just doing their jobs or are being manipulated?
Sound and animation: nothing that stands out. Average visuals for a battle shonen, average music for a medieval story. Loved the second ed song, though the video is quite sleepy.
The fights are beautiful and very well-animated, but quite predictable. The main problem with overpowered characters (for Nanatsu, it means all the cast) is that you're watching a battle and BOOM someone pulls power off their asses. Ohh no he just got sliced in three BOOM he regenerates with a sacred power that no one talked about until the last 10 seconds. After seing fights like this for 3-4 times, you just start not caring anymore. Everything will get solved in some miraculous way, just leave it be. Soon this character will awake his krakenian demonic rainbow powers and beat everyone's asses up.
One of the major problems in Nanatsu is the inconsistency of the characters. Not of THE characters, but of them as a whole: you have some pretty good ones, that really interest you and break some cliches, like Guila, King and Gowther. Many of the charaters have interesting stories and a lot of development as the story goes on.
Then you have your Bucket of Golden Crappy Characters, mainly Meliodas and Elizabeth. Meliodas is a man with the appearance, manners and mentality of a 12-year-old, infinite powers and a broken sword - and you have to put up with him being the main character. Elizabeth is a sack of potatoes with tits. Oh, and she also cries sometimes. Ok, MANY times. Just what you expected from a medieval story. (I'm personally not a fan of this kind of narrative, so keep this in mind while reading... Or not.) This is something you see very much, SO MUCH I can't stand it anymore. The swordsman with a main character-centered morality and the hot woman who falls in love with him because he is so "brave and heroic", and not for any other particular reason. Problem with that? Despite being a BIG cliche, no, it's not a problem. The main problem with Nanatsu comes NOW:
EVERY EPISODE has some scene where Meliodas harasses Elizabeth - puts his hand under her skirt, inside her pants, on her tits. And he does it like he's putting a cup of tea in the table. Nothing wrong, I'm just rubbing your breasts. And what does Elizabeth do? Does she go yandere and smack him in the face, like in so many other animes? Does she call for someone to help? Does she accept it, and confesses that she gets turned on by this? No. Of all acceptable (or not) things, she does NOTHING. Elizabeth just asks "sir Meliodas, what are you doing?" "oh I'm just putting my hand there, it's warm" and gets back to what she was doing before, like she's not feeling anything at all. Elizabeth exists for the purpose of being harassed for the fanservice. Her character is shallow as a human being and as a woman.
"OHH NO THERE GOES THE SJW" - no. I personally HATE sjws. Before this being a fault because of the sexism, it is a fault of CHARACTER CONSTRUCTION. Things just don't work that way. It's plausible that pigs can talk, that fairies exist in their own kingdom and that a swordsman acts like a horny teenager. It's NOT plausible that a woman exists just for crying and being harassed like nothing was wrong.
"OH BUT IF YOU STOP WATCHING ANIME BECAUSE OF ECCHI YOU'LL NEVER WATCH ANYTHING BLAHBLAHBLAH". I love Tenchi Muyo!, because the women there are REAL women, with personality and reactions. I love Prison School, because is ADMITTEDLY an ero comedy, with funny reactions and unbelievable funny situations - with plausible characters for that kind of universe. Nanatsu is pure abusive fanservice. That kind of thing would be understandable in a hentai - a genre with the sole function of hardening certain body parts; though it would still be ridiculous.
Overall, Nanatsu no Taizai is something I watched as a challenge. A challenge for myself, "can I stand this thing and watch it to the end?", and a challenge for the series, "does this get better ANYTIME?". Yes, it gets better in the second half, though rushed, but in the end it felt so hollow. Battles and amazing powers and some deep and interesting characters and a lot of fanservice shit and oh look there's a lot of better shonen animes with much fewer cliches.
The main reason behind the hype for Nanatsu must be the superpowers, something that I really don't care about, despite being a fan of typical shonen. I don't really see any other reason for someone to watch this, it's just... An extremely whatever anime. Does this sentence make sense? Well, but that's it.

Tsugumi Ohba used his dark humor again, and it worked.
Yamada is a boy obsessed with suspense shows on TV - it's the only thing he actually likes. When he discovers the ability to skip or stop time, he decides to live only to watch them...
Yamada is a character so real I'm sure you know someone like him. If you don't, YOU are like him. Lazy, uncompromised with life, just wants to watch series. The identification hit me so hard that I made this review.
I highly recommend Skip! Yamada-kun. The art is ok for a one-shot. Yamada is everyone of us. The story is very well
...
conducted, and you'll have a good laugh at the end. Ohba's irony and faith on human selfishness will never cease to amaze me.

Considering Gansgta is a difficult series to understand, this recap came in a good time.
It explains the families and the game of powers in Ergastulum, shows the origins and ranks of the Twilights (according to what has been shown until episode 9) and delineates the functions (and sometimes backstories) of almost all characters.
The only flaw of this special was the lack of a properly explanation of all the events from the latest episodes...
If your are having trouble with Gangsta's sometimes complicated plot, I recommend this. Don't watch it if you are ok with the plot; you may become bored.

Gakkyuu Houtei is somewhat difficult to classify. It belongs to the mystery, psychological, and (dark) comedy genres, and is a very unpredictable work. If you like Phoenix Wright, you came to the right manga. It follows the line 'yeah, advocacy can be very cool, entertaining and shonen-like!', and mixes serious themes (just wait to see as the end of the story approaches) with childish themes and elementary school problems.
The author uses irony and changes in the points of view to deceive the reader to always think something a lot darker than what is really happening. You'll understand me when you read the chapter about the
...
'white powder addiction'...
And if you think this way, 'everything is NOT as dark as I'm guessing', you will got everything wrong, too. This story never ceases to surprise the reader.
The story revolves around an incident that happened years ago when an entire class of small kids and their teacher was murdered, and just three people survived. The three were taken to a school for delinquents, as they were blamed for the murder. One of them was our protagonist, Abaku Inugami. Now that he's in another school, he has to solve many cases in the school court.
The manga overall is so funny and full of kids that in some point you start to think that there will be no 'serious' cases (murder, drugs, fights etc), and when some of those things actually happened (especially in the end), I felt somewhat uncomfortable, like the tone of the story had changed too quickly. GH tries to criticize the school system a lot of times. Abaku takes a lot of chances to criticize the funcionality of the human mind in pressure and fear, and the way adults see kids. That's why I think about this manga as a psychological title too, though a mild one.
The art is wonderful, Obata surprised me again. He's as good with shonen-type art as he is with seinen-type, like in Death Note. You can feel like you're playing a Phoenix Wright game.
The other points (characters, story, enjoyment etc) got mediocre scores from me because this is a good manga, not an excellent one. It serves its purpose well and amuses the reader, but there's nothing especially memorable there. At least it ended with only 22 chapters, or it would become repetitive; it has exactly the number of chapters needed for the story. The fast pacing compensates over the simplicity of some situations.
***THE NEXT PARAGRAPH CONTAINS SPOILERS***
I just couldn't like the ending. It may surprise some people, but for me it was a conclusion so simple and silly that got me frustrated. I also couldn't think the teacher murdering all the students was in harmony with the feel of the story as a whole; it was too heavy. The teacher had a nervous breakdown?? What kind of reason is that? Too silly to justificate something so serious as a school massacre in a shonen with 11/12-year kids. If they wanted to talk about a serious theme like stress in people who work with children, I don't think this was the right way. It was a disservice.
***SPOILERS END HERE***
Gakkyuu Houtei deserves your attention. It's a perfect manga to read in 1-2 days to have fun and some surprises. I'm looking forward for an anime adaptation, GH would look very good animated. And please DON'T expect this to be a Death Note with kids. I said DON'T!

This one is SO bad that is actually good. Yeah, I ENJOYED it.
It's basicaly about a monster girl who eats people. And her own brother - everyday.
An anime about a girl who eats her own brother everyday. Got it? It also has some secret organizations but who cares, the story is awlful, who would watch this for anything other than the bizarreness??
About the art... The gore is kinda ok, but the background art looks like it was made by my grandfather. He had no arms. The only point I think is really good is the soundtrack, I enjoyed the BGM. The rest is...
...
A monster girl eating her own brother and blood and worms and what the hell did I just watch.
Listen to me, watch this one (uncensored!!!!!) in the night, like 2 a.m., get a drink and relax. I laughed the entire time. I will remember Pupa for the next 3 generations of my family, and will still be laughing and asking "what the f did I watch".

Mahouka is the worst anime I've ever watched. I finished it just to be able to say this with no doubts.
The story... well there's no story. There's Tatsuya killing everyone and being flattered by his blind followers. If there's any plot there, you just don't care. The slow pace and flat characters make you forget that there's somethign actually happening.
The art was the only reason I started to watch this bomb, it looked good... But in the end it wasn't. Repetitive school uniforms, all the students have the same faces, there's little to no facial expressions in any character, the scenery looks always the same
...
place. There's also a lot of fanservice boobs.
The music is some horrible random electronic pop everytime. OPs and EDs completely forgettable. The voices are emotionless and drowsy.
The characters are the worst thing I've ever seen in a work of fiction. There's the Mary Sue & Gary Stu couple of perfect protagonists who don't suffer anything bad in the whole series, to the point I wanted to throw a brick on the screen. Or maybe an entire wall of bricks. The others students are a bunch of clones of one another. No importance, little to no personal traits and personality, no backstory, no desires. The only thing they do is to flatter and love Tatsuya onii-sama just because he breathes. The women are the worse: they're all in love with Tatsuya for no reason. And they show it by rubbing their boobs on him. Miyuki is a ridiculously flat and conservative younger sister whose only function is to repeat 'oniiiiii-samaaa' infinitely and then blush. And there's the incest thing, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Also, Mahouka has a very conservative morality, especially for its women, what is ridiculous when you see their boobs popping on the screen. That's just sexism.
There's no enjoyment. The pace is so slow you can skip 3 or 4 episodes and see that you haven't lost anything important (as if there was something important in Mahouka at all). The whole series could be made in a movie. It would be less painful. 5 anime episodes would be enough to tell the whole thing. I. Am. Not. Kidding. The fights are just random pop playing in the background, extremely boring explanations on magic execution and some guys flying when Tatsuya sneezes at them. When you get to episode 8 or 9 and see this for the 54th time, congratulations! You've seen all of Mahouka. No point getting to the end, that's it.
Mahouka wins a lot of trophies: Is the worst anime I've ever watched. Tatsuya is the worst character I've ever seen, and his sister is the second in the list. The soundtrack is also in my list of the most boring ones. See? It's a very prized anime! C'mon, lose your time and watch it!

Short anime, short review: This one is a lovely (and kinda shounen-ai) slice of life anime, and it's worth of your attention.
It shows some situations between bishounen guys that work in a coffee, and how they deal with their different opinions on themselves.
Simple yet fair story, cute art, the sound is just okay, all characters manage to stand out from one another - this was what I liked the most about the series.
Now that the series had finished airing, you should watch ALL episodes at once, to multiply the enjoyment. C'mon, the whole series has a total duration of 24 minutes!
You should definitely try
...
this quick one if you like slice of life animes and cute guys.
