Story (7) - Very slow pace, with lots of fillers. There was 1 or 2 interstings story arcs, but the rest is disapointing. I believe it´s not the story itself, since the manga doesnt seem to have that problem. Its how it was develloped in this series. As i said in the start, the story lost itself between many fillers, long long conversations explaining things that didnt make any sense to be explained, while other important things were left behind undevelloped.
So, only a 7 in this aspect.
Art (8-) - Nothing really special, however, some good appointments in terms of character design. The rest in just
...
enough to be considered good.
Sound (10+) - For me, the best aspect in the whole series. I liked the op and ed, and background music is just amazing. It gives a lot of atmosphere and fits very well with this type of anime. Character voices were also pretty well made, and in general, sound fits very well with the rest.
It is certantly not because of sound that this anime disappointed me.
Character (8-) - I liked them, in terms of image and role in the story. Its quite a good creation, but as it came closer to the end, i noticed that they are not that well develloped, and the relations between them seemed a little bit messed up.
Still, this is good enough, although i think manga seems to be much better in this aspect (comparing with what i already saw from the manga).
Enjoyment (6-) - I dont even need to be an expert to notice the big number of fillers in this anime. It turned most of the episodes (with exception of 1/2 arcs) boring, sleepy, and not interesting at all. Many moments with lots of conversation/lack of action, some long pauses, and aspects/information with not sense at all, clearly used to fill in time in the series.
Well, not everything was bad. One of the beginning arcs, and the last one gave some interest to watch (that was quickly replaced by an poor, really poor last episode :s) , but its too few for an anime wich i had some expectations.
overall (7) - I dont even need to see all the manga to find out why this is not a good one. It disappointed me a lot.
With the exception of the music aspect, wich i give the credit because it was really good, the rest was far below my expectations.
The fillers, lack of action and lots of conversations....and who knows, probably after reading more from the manga i will find some more negative aspects about this one.

Story (8.9) - Its a great story. Strong plot, fast pace, with action and sci-fi. Really solid from start to end, always keeping the anime interesting.
The story tells us about 2 races: Humans And Mu (those who have special powers and can read others minds). Those 2 races are oposed to each other, Humans want to exterminate the mu at all costs, while the Mu want to find planet Earth and co-exist with the humans. The story goes around this fight, with some flashbacks telling us some aspects of the characters past and scenes that make the whole plot much easier to understand. A
...
9 here.
Art (8.3) - I thought the art was a little weird at start...well is based on an old anime movie...but after getting used i didnt really dislike it. Its different from most of the recent ones, right, but is fine. I end up liking the drawing and the background, and the animations were not bad. I cant give less than an 8 here.
Sound (8.0) - Well, this anime didnt call my attetion for this aspect. I would say its just a normal one. Neither bad, neither too good. Just enough to keep me watching without getting annoyed with it. The OP and Ed are just fine, voices are fine also.
An 8 here.
Character (9.0) - Characters is maybe the best aspect of this anime. Well develloped, with flashbacks telling us about their past, many of them taking important roles in the story. Their unique characteristics, are also an aspect that i liked and that made me follow this anime more closely to see the ending of it.
A 9 here.
Enjoyment (8.8)- This anime was enjoyable to watch. Moments of action, suspense,some pauses to give us the situation of the whole story, well, its a well organized show with a bit of everything, it got my attention and i liked to watch it.
Overall - (8.6) - Different, but great. Solid in all aspects, enjoyable to watch, and some moments really make us think on the mistakes we are doing.
A well deserved 9.

Kaze no stigma is an Action/fantasy anime that got some of my attention, but it has some flaws.
Story (7.2) - Not amazing. Its just an average story. In my opinion lacks originality, as this story is very cliche. It has some fillers, some episodes with no sense at all that appear out of nowhere and where nothing important really happens. In the final episodes, it gets a little better in this aspect, but still story is not an aspect that got my attention.
Art (8.4) - The characters are well designed, and the effects are pretty good. You can see it when the characters use
...
their powers, the flames and wind, and other powers, its really nice. Not the very best art from all times, but still is a nice aspect this anime has to give.
Sound (7.0) - Another not so impressing aspect. The sound sure give some atmosphere and isnt anoying, but its definitively nothing great. Just and average in my opinion. Enough to keep some interest in this anime.
Character (8.9)- I liked this aspect. Well develloped characters and looking cool.
The main character, Yagami Kazuma is definetively very good, it gave an extra interest to this anime. Another aspect i liked was the variety of characters this anime have, where you clearly see many differences between them, and their relations with each other, that keeps the show interesting during some moments where the story lacks.
Enjoyment (8.0) - A fine anime, not the best, but a good one to watch and pass some time. It has a lot of action in some moments, also we you can find romance and comedy in this anime. A nice way to spend time, in my opinion.
overall (8) - For a tittle that didnt said much to me at start, it was really a nice surprise. Ok, its not fantastic, but surely is a good anime and if you like magic and battles stuff, then you should give it a try.

Story (8.3)- The story is interesting. It has romance, action, some comedy, some suspense also, important aspects needed to a good story.
During the anime, it progresses quite well, and with important details revealed in the right moments.
An 8 in this aspect.
Art (8.8) - Art is pretty good. The design itself is very nice, the animations are great and very well done, background details are also nicely done.
Sound (9.3) - Sound is fantastic. Opening and ed are good, and the background music fits very well every situation. The timing of thebackground music is very good, you can easily distinguish between happy moments and
...
sad moments. The quality of the sound is also impressive, much better in my opinion than many other anime.
The voices are also nicely done and so i give a 9 here.
Character (8.3) - Well develloped, each one of them has a role in the story, there are many characters right, but surprisingly most of them are very good and well develloped. The characters surely gave something more to the story, i would say something like a special touch.
Enjoyment (8.4) - A nice action-romance anime. With moments from happy, to sad, from laugh to action, has a bit of everything. The interesting plot and the characters surely give something to this anime, as well as music and art are really enjoyable.
overall (8.7) - A surprising good show in my opinion. I didnt expect it to be this good. I will not repeat what i said before,but to end, i just wanna say that it is a balanced anime and i recommend ;)

Story (7.1) - Story is pretty random. There are some episodes with sequence, like a 2-3 episode case, but in overall, each one has a case that must be solved. The progress its not very fast, and there are some moments that sound like filler minutes, when the story has really no progress.
Well, just an average aspect.
Art (7.3) - Design is acceptable, animations lack a little bit indeed. There are some flaws here and there in the show that could have been avoided, and the effects are not something great. Another average aspect.
Sound (8.0) - Maybe the best aspect of the show. Opening is
...
good, ed is not bad, voices match very well and background music is also good. Not much more to say here, its a good aspect so 8.
Character (7.2) - The main characters are interesting , but the show lacks in the rest. There arent any more important characters other than the main, and even those (the 3 main characters) are not very well develloped. We know little about them, and thats a negative point.
So, just a 7 here.
Enjoyment (7.4) - Some episodes were interesting, but most of the 10 were just acceptable, and nothing great.The randomness of the story doesnt help, The characters keep the show a little interesting, but their lack of devellopment also makes hard to fully understand the anime.
Overall (7.2) - A nice show, but no more than that. It is a show with some interesting moments that could have been much better, had potencial to do so.

Story (7.0) - For me, the story is a decent one. In my opinion, the story started very well in the first episodes, but as the anime came close to the end, it started to look a little confusing, with some episodes with almost no advance in the storyline.
The last episode was not bad, but could also have been better.
The story itself has some interest, also has some action, but there are some flaws like slow progress, confusing aspects,...
Interesting, but no more than a 7 here.
Art (6.3) - in a short sentence: Not impressive! Design and animations doesnt look that good as they should,
...
so just a 6 here.
Sound (6.0) - Although it isnt bad, i didnt like it very much. The opening is acceptable, the ed i didnt like it, the background music and voices aspect are not fantastic, this aspect is just an average aspect, that´s why i give it a 6.
Characther (5.0) - This aspect is not good. During the anime, i cant understand the role of many of the characters. Some vanish after 1 or 2 appearences, others rarely appear, even the main ones almost do nothing during the series except for tokidoki.
In my opinion, this aspect was not develloped as it should be, and this makes a big impact in the anime. After watching amatsuki, i dont know a thing about most of the characters, and i can say for sure that all of them are far far away for having chances to be in my favourites.
Enjoyment (6.2) - It could be interesting indeed, but it has major flaws. The lack of action in some moments, some confusing aspects in the story, episodes that come out of nowhere and lack of logical sequence is what i can point this show as mistakes. So, the show turned out to be just an mediocre show.
overall (6.0) - I could say for sure that this show had potential to be better. The first 2 episodes were interesting, but then it started to miss in some important aspects and turned out to be confusing, boring in some moments and slow.
with a better organization could have been much better, as it is i cant give it more than a 6.

Story (7.8) - Some improvements were made, if we compare to the first season. However, the story still has flaws. This time, more dolls appear and the "true" Alice game really begins.
The story this time is more interesting, is a little bit more original and the plot advances faster. However, it lacks some details about the story that i think werent very well explained.
Still, is better than first season, so i pass from 7 to 8.
art (7.3) - Not much difference in this aspect..i really didnt notice any change at all, still an average aspect.
Sound (8.0) - Sound is a little better than
...
first season, however, is not enough for a 9. Background music this time fits better with the plot, the ed and op are about the same opinion i´ve had in the first season, just acceptable.
Character (8.0) - (read my review in the first series, so you will understand) Again, its what i said in the first season. My opinion didnt change much with the new story and with the new characters. However, with more action it gets a little better, but not enough to give a 9.
Enjoyment (8.0) - This time, there is more action, more mystery. There is improvement in this aspect, this time i will give it an 8.
overall (8) - Second series of rozen maiden is definitevely better than the first. However, there are still flaws, and even with this improvement, i still say that this is what i call an average anime. However, if you have a lot of spare time, you can check it, maybe you will like it.

Story (7.0) - The plot is not bad, but its nothing great..
The story of this anime tells us about a boy, Jun, who is different from normal boys, since he has a lot of fears and dont face them...as a result, he ends up spending most of his time at home, not going to school. But one day, a doll appears on his life - shinku...who is a special doll, involved in a special war with other living dolls. From that moment, jun life will change ...
Nothing great..story is very cliche, not very original .... just a 7 in here.
Art (7.3) - This aspect is
...
what i would say acceptable. Is neither bad or amazing...There are some parts where the design is good, in other situations are not so good, the animations are just enough for give some credit to the anime.
Sound (7.5) - Background music is not something really great...the ed and op are just enough not to ruin the anime.. the voices are ok.. again, i would say this is in the average, i´ve seen much worse and also much better.
Character (7.5) - Again, this aspect is only average. however, i have something to say here..The main characters, especially shinku and jun are something that definetively didnt catch my attention, however, I ended up sympathizing with the villain, Suigintou, since in my opinion she was the one that gave more interest to this show. Suiseiseki also got some of my attention, but from this anime my favourite is for sure Suigintou.
Not all characthers are equally develloped, some of them lack devellopment and more protagonism in the series. But i give an 8 in here.
Enjoyment (7.0) - Some action, some funny parts, however, the story is too cliche as i said before. Some parts got some of my attention, others almost made me quit, well, but i cant consider it bad. a 7 here.
Overall (7.0) - This is what i call just an average anime.. Its nothing that really got me interested, the only nice thing i take from this one is maybe the fact that Suigintou is one characther i liked, but not much more than that. Not an anime i would strongly recommend..

Story (9.8) - A great story. At first, it looks confusing, but as we start connecting the diffent aspects of the story, we start to find answers and then the story starts to really make sense. Thats how i saw it, at first i didnt realize how good the story was...but as it develloped, i saw it was indeed an amazing story.
The story itself has a lot of mistery, suspense, and action. Even when it seems that nothing will happen, theres always something that is an important detail to the mistery.
I liked it a lot, so i give a 10 in here.
...
Art (8.5) - Well, for me this aspect isnt that great. Its good, but not that impressive for a 10. The desing is good, but the animations i think they werent that good. However, i want to make this clear, this aspect is definitevely not bad, so i give a 9.
Sound (8.8) - The background music fits very well with the anime, i liked it. The opening is amazing in my opinion, the ending is nice and the voices of the characters match with each situation, changing from "happy/cute" voices to "dark" voices...its indeed versatile.
Characters (10.0) - Characters in higurashi sure change a lot during the anime, but in my opinion they are all very well develloped, and everyone has an important role to play in the story. there is no useless character..they all are somehow important to what will happen next. Also, i personally like some of them.
So, i will give a 10 here.
Enjoyment (10.0) - I really like this anime. The psychological aspect is indeed very good, as well as the mistery and suspense that the whole story gives to us. It really made me pass great time watching, and for it, it deserves a 10.
overall - 10. Not much left to be said, this is indeed a great anime. I recommend!

Story (9.1) - Well, its true that it isnt anything new...stories like this one i have already seen ...it nothing different its true. But even beeing similar to other stories, it is with no doubt still very good. Has suspense, action, misteries...its a solid story and deserves the 9.
Art (9.9) - Art is something amazing. Great design, great graphic aspects, great animations, great environment design, characters looking good, everything i could ask for. Surely 1 of the strongest points in this movie, if not the strongest.
Sound (8.9) - Fits very well with the movie, in my opinion. I liked it but definitively its not that
...
special to get a 10.a 9 here.
Characther (9.3)- Characters look good, have some amazing abilities, are well develloped, well not much to point here. its a solid 9.
Enjoyment (9.6) - Surelly a nice show. Lot of action, fighting and also some blood. It was easy to pay attention to the details and that means the movie itself its interesting and i didnt get bored. It worth the time ...10.
Overall (9.4) - All aspects very strong indeed. Its a high 9, very close to 10.. Flaws are very few, and as i said before art is something to consider.
I strongly reccomend this movie as a must watch for those who like action type series.
