Wow. I mean, wow. Coming into this show, I had really high expectations, and I was still blown away. The charm point of Chihayafuru is not its animation, action, or even plot, but the way the characters are written. Every character, even minor ones with barely any screentime, are endearing yet realistic.
To be honest, the beginning is a little slow, with both main characters being slightly annoying, at least in my opinion. However, this only makes their development even more impressive and helps the viewer attach themselves to the characters. If you can bear with the pacing in the beginning, you'll soon find yourself hooked

Ragnastrike Angels
(Anime)
add
Ragnastrike Angels. What a masterpiece. Truly very beautiful and touching.
If you haven't noticed, that was sarcasm. This anime is crap. You barely even had a chance to get to know the characters, there was no plot, and I couldn't even understand what was happening every episode. IT WAS LITERALLY JUST AN AD FOR A GAME There was nothing that made it worth watching, no potential, and only relief when it ended. Holy mother of corn it was bad. Yeah, there's not much to say about this short piece of crap. Watch it if you want, at least it's short and won't waste that much of your time.

Dagashi Kashi
(Anime)
add
Dagashi Kashi. The name sort of has a ring to it.
Just kidding. Dagashi Kashi is a very interesting anime, to say the least. Turns out you can make an anime out of almost anything. The story revolves around japanese snacks, also known as "dagashi." From the first episode, it had an interesting aura around it, telling you that it wasn't gonna be a stereotypical anime. There was virtually no plot for the whole season, just a piece of sort-of-plot thrown in there known as "I must get Kokonotsu to inheirit the dagashi shop!" However, the anime itself didn't hit on this point for most of the ...

The second season of Akagami no Shirayuki-hime was considerably better than the first. The story is much more stable, although it seems to have compromised some of the characters' morality and stability for that. Although it was pleasant enough to watch, there was still something lacking. I don't think the creators of this anime did a good job combining action and romance, or at least not as well as some other anime.
Personally, I think the anime became a chore to watch and finish... Overall, the anime in itself was pretty good, but I believe the first season took away a lot of the enjoyment and potential ...

Anitore! EX
(Anime)
add
Anitore EX was a bad decision. Personally, I wanted to watch it because it was short. HOWEVER, once I started it, all I could do was cringe.
There was no plot, and while the anime set out to make me active, I was appalled at how bad it was that I was frozen in shock. The characters were annoying and useless, and spent basically half the episode talking about trivial things not related to exercise. This anime was absolutely horrible and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you want to see a bunch of girls complaining about random things and getting tired after doing one ...

Akagami no Shirayuki-hime
(Anime)
add
Akagami no Shirayuki-hime was recommended to me by my friend, and I had heard about it a lot so I decided to check it out. However, when I checked it out, the first episode didn't really have a hook or anything special to it. The rest of the episodes were decent but not very enjoyable. I think this anime could've had a ton of potential, but the story was just way too unstable. The plot just kept switching every two episodes or so, and it was sometimes hard to follow what was going on. However, I do think that the characters were constructed beautifully, and

Fairy Girls
(Manga)
add
Fairy Girls is a manga based off the manga and anime Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima. Personally, I think this manga was beautiful, but the plot was not developed as well as it could have been. The action part of it was not correctly blended with the everyday life aspect, and while the story was okay, the characters created were not very consistent. The humor was developed more for males than females, with quite a bit of fan service, and the attempt at exciting action was not very heart pounding or moving. Overall, this manga was very fun and cheery, but I would not recommend
