**THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS**

Well, Sakamoto desu ga? doesn’t have an interesting and complex storyline. It has a cool guy named Sakamoto who swags his way through every situation he’s ever faced with.

Characters are made interesting through their complexity, with them coming to deal with their flaws, accept them and improve upon them where they can. That’s what makes an interesting and complex storyline.

In a lot of ways, Sakamoto Desu Ga? is the One Punch Man of school-life anime. One Punch Man is about a hero named Saitama who destroys every enemy he faces with one punch and zero effort.

Sakamoto Desu Ga? is about a kid ... named Sakamoto who has similar results against his foes. But instead of fighting giant monsters, he’s going up against school bullies and manipulative girls.

And instead of defeating them with a punch, he defeats them with sheer charm and charisma.

And by “defeat,” I mean “make them like him and also make them better people overall in the process

The really impressive thing about Sakamoto Desu Ga? so far is the ability it has to take a simple concept and keep it fresh in a number of situations.

The negative thing about the anime is that there is no character development, no plot development. Each episode basically just sums up the same way: “Someone is going to try to make Sakamoto look bad, let’s see how it ultimately backfires and makes him look way cooler.”

Despite all this, it’s so weird and quirky that it’s ultimately still quite enjoyable. Despite it just featuring the same gag, playing out in different ways, it’s still a ton of fun. That’s incredibly impressive to me, and speaks to the quality of the gag. But I have to wonder just how long it can keep up.

The secondary characters in the series are practically non-existent. The few that are recurring aren’t especially interesting, even down to their names. such as :

There’s “popular girl who tries to seduce Sakamoto for the sake of status, but keeps getting hilariously foiled.”

I didn’t list all of the names, because honestly, they’re not important to the series. Sakamoto Desu Ga? is a one-man show, and the other characters are little more than props to further the legend of Sakamoto.


Even the opening credits feature all of exactly one character.

It’s easy to see Sakamoto Desu Ga? is made on a budget. The very first episode opens with a wide shot of three guys tossing a volleyball around in the school yard in the most minimal, circular animation imaginable.

The action sequences rely heavily on dressed-up still shots, simple circular animation patterns, and motion blur. They do a good job of hiding the lack of funding where they can, but suffice to say there aren’t any sequences that are going to leave you slack-jawed in awe and appreciation.

Spoiler
--------
Episode 6 was really terrible due to the fact that Sakamoto and three kids was walking in a white line which took most of the time consumption on the episode which was rough about 10minutes "WASTED" footage. This episode really lacked being entertaining aswell being enjoyable.

All in all:
Animation: 5/6
Character development : 3
Sound: 5
Enjoyment: 4/5
Overall : 4

Thank you for reading my review if you got this far and i hope you found it useful and take in ideas on what is to come when you watch this series.

Truly when speaking of a Seinen, Mature, Adult-like animes Rainbow is definitely one of the top ones. This show almost leaves no place for the comedy side of anime which I like. I prefer less comedy more seriousness and this anime delivered it to 100% The story, drama, characters, development, build up, this anime got everything, there are happy moments, there are sad moments, and as we follow these 7 individuals in a tough environment, each with different backgrounds and struggles and dreams, you start to like them one by one as they progress with their unbreakable friendship, in this anime you will see the ... very represenation of what True Friends Are For. I recommend it 10/10.

I was literally going to cry and i dont cry for animes man this anime was so emotional.

Characters - 10/10
Enjoyment 10/10
Story 10/10

STORY: This anime begins as a normal "Teen crush" story. Makoto is in love with Katsura (who we see that has big... uhm, chest) and a friend of his, Sekai, helps him so they can be together as a happy couple, yay. Now this is just the beginning. Later the story changes, but this is one of the problems this anime has, because later, the story starts getting silly. I mean how is it possible that every single girl has a crush on this guy, and what's so special about him? Looks? Maybe it's because I'm a male person that I can't understand female perspective, ... but if you really look at it, it's just unrealistic. Really unrealistic. This is not the only problem, like there's this part where Makoto starts getting addicted to sex, and apparently allows all girls from high school to use him for pleasure. He even does an orgy, that's how silly it gets. Overall, the story could do well, if it was taken a bit seriously. Other than that, it's silly. 5/10 just for the originality.

ANIMATION: The animation is nothing new, same thing used in most animes. However it does have some impressive moments. There is a one major problem in the animation: repetitive scenes that try to look sexual. The animator thought this would be exciting if he threw some a** shots, shots of breasts, and in the pool episodes, you see a lot of these shots. There are a few scenes which they have nothing to do with the story (The scene where the big breasted girl is in the hot tub and suddenly gets up because of the phone call, only to see her covered nude body. Great). These scenes are probably targeted for those hentai lovers, but I don't find them really impressive, just boring and annoying. Also why do people at the first episode look like mannequins? 5/10 because of those annoying scenes, and that there's nothing new. If there weren't annoying scenes, I'd give it 7

This anime is typically hated and rated by people because of how the anime ending was harsh and not very good and i agree with that but to rate the anime as a whole just based on the ending is not adequate. So i'm giving it an overall 5/6at best.

Sadly, the To Love-Ru anime is no different from the other Shonen Jump anime adaption flunkies. It takes a cute manga and adds in some of the most dross filler in anime period. We're not even going to bother talking about the cast, because the paper they drew the sketches of these characters on has more depth than 90% of the cast. Aside from maybe chief heroine Lala, who's cute, likable, but a little grating at times, the only decent characters are Rito's little sister, the calm and supporting Mikan, and busty, alien school nurse Ryouko Mikado, the only other character with a functional brain. ... (Though you might be tempted to question that, since she is the one who tasked two high-schoolers with running a huge inn... while in the middle of their school year?) And of course, we'd be remiss to leave out the principal of everyone's school, whom we kept wondering why he was allowed to keep his job. Or even walk around free to randomly sexually assault girls, which he does in almost every single one of his appearances.

Story

Parasyte's greatest strength is the relationship between Shinichi and Migi. Migi is more than Shinichi's right hand, Migi has his own intelligence and personality. As such, it is a nice treat seeing how the two of them grow as characters throughout the series. The really intriguing thing is how the two of them shape the views of other, with both of them behaving startlingly similar to the other at different points.

Soundtrack

While it got off to a bit of a rocky start with its heavy use of dubstep-like music early on, Parasyte's soundtrack eventually grew on me and now I can't imagine ever forgetting the ... songs in the series. From the excellent opening and ending themes to numerous pieces of background music, there was just so much for me to love about this show's music. It also helped that many of the songs perfectly set the tone for the scenes they played in. For instance, whenever the chanting from the song "Hypontik" would play, I knew something big was about to go down. But for my money, I think my favorite song on the show's soundtrack is the calming "Next to You" and "it's the right time"


Also, this is one of the very few anime that I've watched that I don't feel the need to go back and read the source material. Not because I don't think it'd be good, but because this is such a brilliant work that it left me with nothing more to be desired.

NHK’s strength lies in its characters, given the plot is essentially a series of random unpleasant events. What is important is how these events affect the characters and what the characters take from these experiences, which is something NHK portrays quite well. All of the characters are deeply flawed, and while these flaws are usually exploited for the sake of black humour, there are serious scenes sprinkled throughout that force each character to change in some way. The only character that doesn’t completely add up is the lead, Satou himself. Half the time it seems that Satou is only a hikikomori because the story says ... he’s a hikikomori, given the amount of times he’s willing to step outdoors for various reasons. However, one could chalk this up to him wanting to do anything to rid himself of his hikikomori life. And, to be fair, he usually has some degree of indecision before stepping out of the house. He certainly is socially awkward enough to be a hikikomori, though.

As far as being an adaptation goes, the NHK anime fails to a certain degree. People expecting something faithful to the manga right down to each line will be disappointed. While as much manga as possible is covered in these 24 episodes, the anime treats the material differently. There is a distinct change of tone– the rather visceral and frantic tone of the manga is severely watered down here, and so are most of the jokes. Because of this the series loses a lot of its edge, thus making it less appealing to those who follow the manga for those elements. This watering down can also been seen in the character designs. Ishihama Masashi, who did the character designs for the anime opted for a more streamlined look to the characters. The designs for the anime is quite nice and attractive, but almost all of Oiwa’s roughness is gone. It can be argued that the anime designs were trying to channel ABe’s novel illustrations, but this is a bit of a stretch. The anime really has a look of its own.


The one really negative thing is about the romance between the two characters it lacked abit in this section and was going out of place abit and we still never seen them both kiss in the anime which really sucked so yeah overall i'd give it a 7.

One of the most interesting manga titles to come around for some time, Deathnote presents the reader with some very heady subjects you might not expect, such as morality, the nature of good and evil and some great social commentary.

From the pages of the manga to the silver screen and then to the small screen. Manga = breathtaking, Film = groundbreaking, Anime = phenomenal.

Death Note the anime is one of the best animes to come out for a very long time. The storyline is amazing but not complicated or cliché. Like the film and manga, it depicts the cat and mouse hunt between L and ... Light on who will uncover one another's identity.

Death Note is a cake; everything good about a cake; and therefore people should see this landmark. Overall, Death Note will remain a classic forever...

In terms of an Honest review , This anime is pretty good , at first i thought it would be Alot of " Ecchi/Harem"Type of aspect in this anime Judging it based on the english translation which is Yamada-kun and the seven witches . However, that is not the case as this anime has real potential on how the characters are developing and how the story is progressing as the series goes by.

The negative thing about the anime is Body-swapping , Body-swapping in anime usually means one thing, and that’s fanservice. I’m not the world’s biggest fanservice devotee. Fanservice can devour an anime’s ... plot and turn a show gross and mean in a heartbeat. In the worst cases, fanservice turns otherwise interesting characters into inauthentic caricatures of themselves, all in pursuit of the almighty panty shot.

But, I am happy to say that the first two volumes of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches, at least so far, is just as good as people make it out to be; that’s a really big surprise, considering how a title like this could easily go wrong and end up a shallow fanservice style story. Yamada-kun is a very funny manga with a lot of heart and character that really all comes together in just the right way. There are flaws certainly, but the positives more than adequately outweigh the negatives.

I have also watched the Last episode when it came out and i must say it ended pretty damn good for the first season which i will not spoil. Will see how the story progresses from there and will do another review on the next season?:P

Positive thing which is really good about the anime is the :
Opening
Animation
Art & Character

Story sometimes can get off plot if you watch the anime you will know what i mean by this.


P.S Please actually read the review throughly before "Pressing the unhelpful" button lol

This series has potential to become one of the best anime's in recent memory if it gets a few more seasons. In fact, I think that the plot is thick enough here to warrant many more seasons. Season 1 does a excellent job setting the context and introducing us to the characters. It would be a shame if Tokyo Ghoul ended after just 24 episodes Including Re . If you fail to reach the midpoint of the first season, you will judge this series inaccurately based on limited data. If you make it to the midpoint, however, you will have that epiphany you've been searching ... for and the show will appear before you in a new light, as it has to me.

This show has great character depth and animation and was pretty hectic with the violence and despair. But it was also censored to pieces and the ending was vague. The second season may clarify some things

Don't judge this series based on the manga; they're totally different artforms and should be judged separately. It seems to me that a lot of people who negatively judge this series are extremely biased in favor of the manga, and that's just unreasonable.

I was hesitant about starting down this series with it's label of an ecchi tag. However, this series is pretty good. In all honesty, it would probably turn off many, and draw in others. It's full of typical Japanese ecchi humor, which isn't bad if you're not a prude, a bit of a harem theme going but not in your face about it, and an overall feel-good story. It borders on sci-fi and fantasy, although that part of the story isn't fully explained. The focus of the series seems to be on the characters' interactions with the main character. There doesn't seem to be much ... background plot or direction to the story beyond these interactions. One thing I didn't like was that these interactions became a bit repetitive with each subsequent addition of a new character. The series only has 2 seasons, so it didn't get too drawn out like how extremely long series sometimes constantly reuse the same formula.

I would recommend this series if you want some laughs and aren't looking for something serious. You would like it even more, if you are into fan service, or are male. If you hate harem and ecchi themes, then you may want to avoid it. The series seemed to be made just for me, so I am giving it a 9 overall.
