I came into this expecting a great plot, story and a couple of cool death scenes. It was able to deliver for the most part but where it fails is the convoluted story and plot. The anime doesn't know how to tell the story or where to go with it.

So we got our main character Sakakibara Kouichi who falls ill and has to stay in a hospital just after he recently transfered to a new school. Some of his classmates show up to say whats up and see how he is doing. There is an akward silence between them and you call them something ... is wrong. This is where things start to fall apart and it feels like Final Destination.

I wasn't expecting this to be a mystery but it turned out to be but I don't mind that at all. So you have a school where class 3 is haunted. No wait, it's possessed, no it's some cruel prank. The anime doesn't know what's happening or why, it just is. The fact that theres all this crazy s*** happening and people are like "well guys we gotta stop it" even though it's been going on for years and no on has been able to figure out what is exactly causing this phenomenon. They come up with a solution; a crazy one but it works. The story moves at a slow pace. It gives a bit of insight of whats going on but I'm not going to lie, I was here for the deaths.

The characters are interesting I guess. I never really cared what happened to them. It's like when you meet new people. You know them but aren't emotionally connected so if something bad happens, you're like "well that sucks" and that's how I felt for each of these characters.There's little character development. You learn a couple things about ceartin characters but nothing that makes you give a damn. The death scenes are pretty cool if you are into that sort of thing. While not in every episode it's enough to please most gore hounds.

I love horror movies but it's difficult for me to find a good horror anime. As I trudged on it dawned on me that I was watching Final destination. A group of kids have to deal with death and have to figure out how to stop it and just like that movie characters act unreasonably calm at times. There's one scene where a building is on fire and Kouichi warns his fellow classmates and they just nod it off. They are like " I don't see it and I don't smell it so it must not be true." When s*** hits the fan few people try to fight back. Man if someone tried to cause me harm, I'm putting up a fight and these kids just run. Nope, I don't care who you are, if somebody is trying hurt you, there's going to be some beat downs. The ending, while I didn't see it coming, I did not care for it. It's a twist ending but there was very little indication that's the route they were going to take. I feel a good horror and mystery film should keep me guessing. I should have an indication of what the ending could be but still have some doubt. I didn't know what was going on. It had potential, while the death scenes are cool to watch the convoluted story and plot make this anime fall short. If you got time to kill, go watch it but go in with Final Destination on your mind.

WHAT NO ZOMBIES ! Yeah I said it! Well almost but all jokes aside I really enjoyed H.O.T.D. I am intrigued with the idea of a zombie apocolypse but this OVA did nothing for the anime. It might have even knocked it down a peg.

Lets face it, H.O.T.D has alot of zombies and blood but if anything else it has more breasts out and about. This OVA was just on the border of almost being porn. There were so much cleavage I was almost a tad bit uncomfortable. The whole episode was nothing but a dedication to fanservice. There's nothing wrong with that but I ... was hoping the OVA would should shed some light on what happened after the last episode.

I dont mind fanservice occasionally but this was a bit much for me. I love H.O.T.D, so being a fan I watched this. If your a fan and you got time to kill, go ahead and watch this episode. If you love fanservice, you will love this OVA. Everyone else, flip a coin.

So check this out Happy Lesson is comedy anime but wasnt on my scale for the best anime i've seen but then again theres worse. Basicly the plot is based on 5 teachers who live with an orphan and all try to become his mother and try to make him a better student through different methods. So nothing new right. Seen this in countless anime where a male character lives or are surronded with a bunch of female characters ex. Love Hina.

Main characters are Chitose, the orpahn who moves in the house of his deceased parents. He trys to hide his feelings about his ... "mothers" but every now and then they leak.
Mutsuki Ichimonji his homeroom teacher and usually cleans and cooks around the house. Shes pressures Chitose to study. At home she wears a maid outfit.
Kisaragi Ninomai (personal favorite) she is the science teacher. She seems like shes emotionless but loves her son Chitose alot. You see that she experiments alot on Chitose.
Yayoi Sanzenin is the nurse and priestess but the school doesnt know about that. She has a calm demeanor unless she senses danger and then puts her sword skills to work.
Uzuki Shitenno is the art teacher and is small. She is for the most part is happy and cheerful. Shes usually wears wings because shes into cosplay.
Satsuki Gokajo is the p.e teacher and is serious about her workouts. Shes loud and agressive but can be sweet.
And those are the characters you will mostly encounter with the exceptions towards later episodes you will be introduced to Chitose adopted sisters, Minazuki his younger sis and Hazuki his older sis who is a famous singer. You also will be seeing the class rep Fumitsuki who has a crush on Chitose and becomes curious about Chitoses life outside school. Also Kanna Kisaragi childhood friend and develops a crush on him.

As far as originality it doesnt set the bar but then agian not many anime do. You will follow Chitoses struggles with dealing with so many moms. The shenanigins that happen when living with moms who are so different from one another. How each ones method for making him a better student work out. The only thing that bothered me were the endings of each episode. They had a very "after school special" feeling to them. Like really cheesy. For the most part this occurs with every episode. In the end it wasnt on my OMG I gotta watch this list but If you got nothing to do and time to kill watch a couple episodes, you might like it.

This anime was top quality. No other anime has ever caught my attention like this one. I was sucked in from begining to end but I digress. Toradora is a drama, romantic comedy which revloves around 2 main characters, Ryuji and Taiga. Ryuji is a nice guy who is a bit of neat freak who is also known as a delinquent due to his eyes which make him look like a murderer and has a crush on Taigas best friend, Minori. Tiaga has the nickname of palmtop tiger and is easliy gets angry and has a reputation as a delinquent. Same goes for taiga ... who has a crush on Ryuji's best friend Yusaku. Taiga lives right next to Ryuji and comes from a rich family but has moved out on her own due to family issues while Ryuji lives in a small house with his mother and bird. After a brief confrontation between the 2 delinquents they decide to help each other with thier love life and overall image. As the anime goes on you will be introduced to another important character, Ami who is Yusaku childhood friend who also happens to be a model. She seems nice but is really arrogant. Through out the anime you will see each character struggle and you will learn more of each character. Theres no, aliens, secret lives or anything of that sort. Just these 5 characters and other minor characters who are involved towards the end of the anime. I enjoyed watching this from beginning to end. Unlike other anime in this area this one really caught my attention. Like any media for it to be good it has to get you emotionaly involved and thats what exactly this anime did for me. So I highly recommend this.

Chocotto sister is a good anime to watch if you have time to spare. It follows a girl named Choco who is given to a college student named haruma by a female biker santaclaus after many years ago wishing for a sister. Chocotto sister story follows the everyday life choco and haruma. Anytime there is trouble choco refers to a little tiny book for answers which at most times doesnt help. Some of her troubles include discovering what a bra is, taking a jaguar as a pet and this doesn't count as a trouble but the neko-nyan dance. Choco seems to have a lack of ... knowledge on I guess you can say of a every day norms or what is expected from society. Like she doesn't know what a bra is or that you shouldn't be naked while people are in your home. What makes this a good name is chocos lack of understanding and figuring out things by herself or with the help of others. There's no dragons, magicians or robots but if you got time I say go watch it. It never hurts to try

When I first watched Pani poni dash online it was interesting. I got up to episode 4 but then all the rest of them had subtitles so I decided to look for the dvd. At first when I popped it in my laptop I was a bit worried. I know this isn't life changing anime but then agian does such a thing exsist but I digress, I was a bit worried. I seemed to go in and out of the plot if there is one. It wasnt until I got disk 2 that it recaptured my mind. After that I knew this was a ... purchase well made. Damn that ichijo and all her shenangins
