This is meh.
it was not until episode 11-12 that I finally pay attention to this show.
but it was too late to reveal the truth behind the main male lead.
what the hell? like this is kind of boring for the first 10 episodes, lack of romance, lack of story (the supernatural thing is unnecessary, yet helps up with the situation of the female lead)
Since I'm not so good at feeling the whole meaning and ect. For me, it needs more romance, more character development. like it's a marathon for the really main storyline at the very late episode 11.
Art:
It was annoying to watch through those ecchi ... scenes.
They draw characters gorgeously. I love the art though.
I love Sou's eyes. But they never explain why his eyes are in 2 colors.


- ep 11: the love story finally reveals
- ep 12: the super romantic confession and the ever 1st kiss, the new beginning.

My enjoyment is an 8. I love this type of romance but I don't like adventure type mixing in it at the same time.
Story: 7
Sometimes the storyline confuses me about the fairy world.
Character development was nice, although it felt unfinished in the ending episode.
Art: 8
I like the art, Edgar and Lydia were good-looking enough to keep me sitting through this anime.
I love those little fairies, although they don't appear frequently, I still remember their cuteness.
The whole concept was kind of similar to Vampire Knight but at least this is lighter than VN's art. And it's dark enough for a mystery anime.
How is my art review ... get more lines than Story review though...
Sound: 6
I didn't care much about it, maybe it's too fair and not memorable.
Character: 7
Lydia is not too special, she's a tomboy, more of tsundere to me, but honest, innocent.
Edgar is handsome, cool, playful, mysterious and some. But as you can see if you already watched the whole you can get disappointed because things don't come clear how he called another woman's name while admitting his feelings for the listening woman.

Everything was merely fair and nothing really stands out to me. So I just give it a 6.
I don't think this anime is underrated, people.

Kuroko no Basket is my very first Sport anime. I didn't expect sport to be that exciting though. Or this anime just makes Basketball feel really interesting. Now I love basketball, daisuki! I wonder would a real life basketball fan come to love this or not?
Story: 10
Everything wasn't just about basketball that made me excited, there's also hilarious comedy which relaxed me during the hard and suspense matches. And during those matches I learned a lot from the characters here.
Story is really thrilling, unpredictable. It's not just about basketball, I mean it's more than basketball, the matches were not boring at all, since there ... are many skillful players than just Kuroko X Kagami.
My phrases suck >.< but when you watch it you'll definitely understand what I said...
Art: 8
At first I really dislike how they draw the characters' neck and some, pretty annoying with those //// or \\ of the art style.
But now I don't mind that anymore, might have got used to it though :)
Sound: 7
It was fair to be exact, if we don't count the first opening song.
Character: 10
Kagami is kind of aggressive, Kuroko is kind of occult, but 2 of them have their own attractions, i.e. no complains about them. The generation of miracles are really special as expected (although 2 of them were shown in the very late episode 25)
The others of Seirin made my day, they have such sense of humor, and they are kind of interesting for supporting roles.
Enjoyment: 10
It never stressed me. Some serious/ story scenes are really enjoyable.
Overall: 9
Must watch the next seasons to decide the whole thing.
My notes of keen-on-rewatch episodes (these are just not my most favorite ones though):
- ep 17: Nice match: Kagami vs Aonomi. Turns out it's a big twist in ep 18
- ep 21 & 22: a little rest (no match, more comedy-like) and character developments, kind of.

SAO is... um... not worth watching. I don't understand why so many people watch it, and overall it is overrated.
Story: 6/10
This anime has so many genres: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Game, Romance, Shounen -> which would satisfy many people, I would be satisfied, too, but seriously, the story became worse and worse until, the latest episodes, it kept me in patience (just a little more).
I mean it would be damn great if those first episodes of adventure were OVAs or something. Everything was so slight. I don't want such multi-in-one like this, since it doesn't have enough fight scenes, it doesn't show much of Kirigaya and ... Asuna's love development, a.k.a lack of romance and action.
I was like, "meh, didn't really pay enough attention to this anime, but urgh why I still want to see what will happen next?"
The story was so so, novel but TOO VAPID, just like my reviews (lol). I don't like it though.
Art: 8/10
Sure the art was great, spectacular also but I don't like the way they draw those unnecessary "sexy scenes". It was graceless.
One more thing is that Kirigayo looks kind of weak, just my own opinion. But I don't mind watching him because that makes him cute and some.
Sound: 6/10
Meh, not memorable to me, but didn't annoy me or something.
Character: 5/10
Haizzz, I can't even stand Kirigayo's characteristic. Of course he's got his innate convincing words and his innocent mind that the girls fall for. But out of that, I would say he's just too normal for a main character.
Enjoyment: 6/10
yeah yeah it is another "meh" score. I want to know what happen next so bad but still the story keeps going too dramatic and too long but too fast in action/ adventure.
Overall: Don't watch this, seriously. It's too vapid. Not a good anime.
My Overall score is 6/10. My rewatch value is 0/10
I can't drop this series, I will watch the whole series though, since I don't want to dismiss things.

Toradora... what I have to say... is a great anime.
It's not just about romance, it's about normal life. I loved all of the main characters, i.e. Ami, Kitamura, Minori, Taiga, and Ryuji. They all have their own problems, which got me involved in such beautiful melody. I didn't think I would love this anime at the beginning, but it's just getting more and more exciting to watch, because of such meaningful story, about life, and about an amazing love.
Starting from episode 21, everything was like so good that I don't ever bother to watch them over and over again. Tora x Dora's love finally reveal, ... the deep meaning of family... they were like too amazing for an anime! I have no good words to describe it properly, but I have to say... episode 21 and up are super cool!
Story (9) / Character (10): so average score is 9.5
Nice written! I love it. Fisrt episodes I was like, "oh please hurry and let me see your chemistry to each other!", in the middle I was like, "OK so these two will never have chemistry somehow, but how are they going to love each other? They are loving other people!", but really, now I'm like, "No need chemistry or romance here, all the charaters are so adorable, I even love that bird, Inko-chan, eh well...".
Art: 10
At first, I was like, "Oh god that Takasu-kun is too ugly compared to other anime guys out there", but in the end I love that face lol, it fits the story so well and his inside is much much more accordant to talk about now.
Anyway, I love the art.
Sound/ Music: 9
Unique #1 opening song. That's the only thing to say. Oh also the rest OST were nice, but that unique song was a standout. I totally loved it!
Enjoyment: 9
My personal enjoyment is 9. Another watch-for-just-1-week anime done ^^.
Overall: 9. It must be 9.5 to be exact though. But not a 10, not this one :p

This is not a professional review (it contains spoilers even) so...
I watched this with several times wanting to quit. Because:
1. The art is not suitable anymore. It's 2015 already. Since it's old, I think new generations wouldn't stand it a chance to give it a shot.
2. The story sometimes goes circle: Aihara hopes, Irie lets her down, but then he does something good for her, like kissing for example, then Aihara's happy, and loves Irie even more @@
3. Special scenes:
- ep 13: Irie's secret kiss to Aihara: I kind of love it. He's cold outside, warm inside. But that outside thing annoys me, his face ... is always in a fine condition, it seems like there's no ability to change it. And I don't like that, he doesn't do much for the girl, instead he depresses her so often.
- I don't remember which episode but after graduation or something, Irie challenged Aihara if she could forget him, then kiss her. He shows his love but still, it's rude somehow, I don't like how he acts already (but Aihara... why you like him? just after seeing him doing his speech?). I wanted to quit. But I want to see (if) him change.
ep 14: kiss before wedding & Aihara's active kiss in wedding: no chemistry... because of the man.
ep 15: kiss and bed scene: I don't like it.
ep 18: the girl should go to that guy already: I can't stand Irie so when there appears another good man, I hope she chooses him but no, she doesn't. I feel so bad for her.
ep 19: nice proposal from kin-chan.
I find myself kind of delighted when there aren't those two, but other characters.
Overall, my face while watching the show was similar to Irie-kun's, how nice...
Maybe I'm still a teenager, it's not fit for me, it seems so forced, their love...
It has a good ending anyway, characters grown up, happy family.
I'm sorry for bad expression.
Today is the last day of my two-week Tet (Tết) Holiday, I'll no longer have time for anime T_T so sad...

This is not a professional review (and it contains spoilers) so...
OK, I watched it for just 2 days.
1. It's super kind of interesting. Maybe because of my first time watching harem.
2. The main boy (Ichijou Raku) already has a his dream lover (Onodera) but I don't find the girl attractive enough, but of course, as he says, he likes sweet, cute long-haired girls.
3. I like him with Kirisaki Chitoge better. She is not as sweet, but super cute, and kind, smart also. She found his pendant (although she is the cause of trouble), fixed his pendant, she... um OK no more to think of now. ... Raku did so much for the girls and in return, he gets nothing, but "weird feelings" - as we know it's love, to be honest. In this entire anime, I just remember Chitoge helping him a little, but I still love the girl. I hope the next season couple them up with more chemistry.
4. Too many harem is just time consuming. But of course, it's a harem anime anyway, and I didn't tend to watch, but invited.
Everything was just funny moments, blushing moments, the secret unsolved, and I wonder if Raku still likes Onodera or not, because the last episodes were kind of confusing. I count for the next season. The overall score is 7, because of the things above.
But I enjoyed watching it, really.
