A nice snappy review for you that should be easy to read :)
It should be spoiler-free otherwise I wouldn't have suffered so much to get the fact that I like this movie across...
So I just finished watching Koe no Katachi and my heart iS AT PEACE NOW.
I was supER pumped to watch the movie and couldn't wait so I did go ahead and read the manga which was worth it cos it built up tension over time whereas in the movie it felt quicker.
Of course, lots of the manga was cut down but the important points of the movie was there so it still
...
worked and didn't damage the plot.
Reasons why I liked it... well starting from music, this movie uses silence to it's advantage which I think really separates this movie from other movies. If you have read the synopsis you will understand a bit. It really "works with the art".
The art is really interesting, again without spoiling it is extremely hard to explain, but the story has given the art to have a chance and play with how Ishida(the main character's)'s feelings and sights are presented. I feel like the manga seemed rougher art wise which gave it a very original effect but it was a little lost in the movie. It still was pretty though. The vibrant colours really showed the seasonal beauty of Japan which I really liked personally.
Characters are very easy to tell apart the characters as they are all unique and have something that the audience is able to use to remember them. Like I am someone who might forget a character after 20mins of the characters absence but in Koe no Katachi, nope that didn't happen. (AND NISHYMIYA IS SO SWEET AWH)
My Enjoyment... well I was a little sad about the lack of music as after all I am someone who loves the background music and sound effects but I mean if you think it over it does make sense. It works well. The story was complicated and relatable yet not as I have never been in the exact position of any of the characters but I felt like the reactions were something I have viewed before and maybe done nothing and maybe some points I felt like I understood a character and how they felt. I guess I've had a nice reflection on my life again to see how I can improve as a person(yes this is what anime does to me it makes me think how I can improve myself as a person).
I hope you do watch Koe no Karachi and you enjoy it as much as I did :)

I cried. OK yeah the title might put you off, might make you think, oh it's like one of those magic girl shabbadibidoodah anime but like seriously. Don't underestimate this anime.
During this review, I will try to make it nice and easy to understand/snappy-n-short and SPOILER-FREE so whenever I say "plot" it's just something I don't want to spoil.
So this anime is 7 mins long which is long enough to have a little plot and at first you're gonna be like cool. This has the humour, the arts really really rEALLY FLASHy and you enjoy it. And then the last two episodes come along and...whoops
...
you're crying.
If I was to say anything about my thoughts on this anime, in a couple of words I'd say "it was really cute and funny and made me cry" but lol no I'm reviewing this properly and thats not enough to be a good review so I will say...that the way the "plot" moved was actually really fast, but seeing the "plot" change this way makes you feel like parents watching their children grow. (Not-that-I-have-any-children,-I-just-have parents-who-when-they-want-to-make-conversation-with you-or-others-always-go-back-to-the-same-story.) so you could really see how things progressed.
This story is about a girl who lives in a mixed up place where both humans and aliens live together. She doesn't really like the town and she just wants to be "normal". One day, her father gets in a hard situation, she ends up being dragged into part of the Space Patrol (like the police) to arrest people at her school who goes against justice within school. But the Space Patrol suit that automatically changes when it detects someone going against justice isn't making her live her desired norm life. But that's what makes the show funny so it's cool. She meets *other* beings and lots happen again I don't wanna spoil but I can say that even though the whole series is about an hour an a half long altogether, it was better than ANY OTHER short anime I have EVER seen (btw I'm still on the quest to conquer/watch all the short anime and fine the best and this is by far the best) and can rival a lot of anime.
Thank you for taking your time to read this if you did:)
I hope you do enjoy the anime like I did!

OKOK I will now review "Yuri!!! on Ice", the anime that captivated people across the globe, though I'm sure most of this review will include a lot of unnecessary parts *sweating droplets in an apologetic way* please do read it :) I can't guarantee that this is 100% spoiler-free but pretty much is so yeah. Just go for it!
NOTE: "Yuri!!! on Ice" has ABSOLUTELY NO restrictions on gender (I've heard a couple of things here and there so I'm just putting it out there.)
You may have heard of Yuri!!! on Ice fans spamming the internet with yaddayadda saying how Yaoi!!! on Ice is gay
...
etc. And some people might be like "UGH" (I do not approve of this behaviour but y'know. Some people are like this in the world) BUT my dear friends. This gay is a nice gay that brings lots and lots of happiness so give it a try even if 'it isn't your cup of tea'. I'm sure you'll like this tea anyways.
STORY-9/10
Like every sports anime, there is the protagonist ice skater, Katsuki Yuuri, and the whole plot is that he was a failure at first didn't win at all in competitions until his ice skating idol, Victor Nikiforov becomes his coach(not telling how cos I'd hate that part to be spoiled to me so I'm not gonna spoil it for you). The whole plot is rather basic for a sports anime but i think the ending and build-up to the ending made me give it a 9/10.
ART-9.5/10
I LOVE THE CHARACTER DESIGNS AND COSTUMES and stuff, the most important scenes looked soo pretty as well. Thinking technically, obviously the ice skating scenes must have been too hard to animate- maybe if they didn't have enough frames, it wouldn't flow as well as its supposed to look etc., but it has such flow and I swear I could cry every single time Yuuri- not saying (ahahaha not telling youuuu we can fangirl/boy if you want but after you watch it only:))
SOUND-10/10
OK I know i'm not the only one who's watched Yuri!!! on Ice and listened to the opening and ending endlessly and also all of the programme songs and even memorised most of the lyrics for lets say "Shall we skate". Basically for those who don't have a single clue what I'm talking about, this show has great music, like every single programme song is addictive. I'm not even joking
Going off track a little, I'd like to tell you a story so read it if you are bothered or skip if you just wanna get on with the review. In my English class, my teacher likes teaching us all that new vocab that you need to get good grades in your essays and such. And the older students in my school were doing classes on Romeo and Julliet (I think...well it was some kind of Romance novel) and so the teacher put up on her vocab list *that all could see* the word "Agape" and "Eros"(they are types of love if you didn't know). So that triggered my inner Yuri!!! on Ice self and I started singing songs from Yuri!!! on Ice. Yeah. So these younger students were having class next in the same classroom while I was singing Yuri!!! on Ice songs outside and this girl starts shaking her friends shoulders and starts saying quite loudly "its not just us who watches gay boys on ice!" <NOTE- this is NOT meant in an offensive way. In fact why is "being gay" even considered an offensive thing? I take that back, it ISN'T offensive so it wouldn't sound offensive anyways>. Yeah that was hella awkward. Especially as she stared at me really like... a puppy expecting food?
CHARACTER-10/10
Yeah Yuuri looks too plain for a protagonist, but this anime is supposed to be realistic. It isn't shone and he is supposed to look Japanese. (Basically Minami is a complete exception, I wanna know the secret behind his hair...)VICTOR IS A CUTE LIL BEING, 10000000000 POINTS TO GRIFFINDOR, THANK YOU CREATORS.
ENJOYMENT-10/10
I think you got that I love this show.
OVERALL-10/10
OK I recommend this to ABSOLUTELY ANYONE and there maybe you might be like "...that show was meh" or "...it was ok" *and maybe there may possible be the smallest fraction of a possibility that you hated this show but. In my opinion, this is one of my absolute favourite shows EVER.
Thank you to the people who actually read this to the end cos this took a while to write and its nice to think that your hard work paid off
PLEASE WATCH THE SHOW AS WELL
And you might as well follow the Yuri!!! on Ice instagram account while you're at it!

This review is mostly spoiler free and is suitable for those who have already watched Clannad(not Clannad: After Story, just Clannad)(sounds like I'm selling some kinda food lol)
This is my second review so its probably really bad but please do read it:) id be grateful if ya did
I decided to watch Clannad(when i say Clannad I am also including after story) due to it being so popular and i have never been so glad to have completed an anime.
This story puts you on an extremely shaky rollercoaster where the emotions are constantly rushing in at every sharp curve you turn...doesn't quite make sense but this
...
is the closest i can explain in words.
Story-10
The story is beautiful. Huh. Its been a while since I've said that word. When it comes to anime and sad parts, I dunno why but I've never physically cried. I just felt really sad afterwards. Well this story was SO close to having me in tears. I wouldn't have minded if i cried for a great story like this to be honest(i don't wanna waste my tears ;)) Honestly, the story goes in multiple directions, and it all started from a delinquent who found his life boring.
I'm starting to make this sound like a serious anime, which it is at some points, but it has many other aspects that made it enjoyable too. The tsukkomi/straight comedy always kept me laughing, the happy 'family moments kept the smile on my face, the 'dango' song that kept on playing in my head repeatedly even after i finished the episode, they all made Clannad: After Story agent anime worth watching.
Art-8
I loved the art a lot, it was great, and especially loved the Illusionary Girl and the Garbage Doll. The awkwardly animated movements was a great contrast to the main story, so was the way the Garbage Doll was drawn. I believe that it was this contrast that I loved the most about this story.
Sound-7
The Dango song(oh here it is again, repeating itself in my head) didn't seem like much in Clannad but in After Story, it has such a big impact. Even though I think it has been a little overused, it still brought the many feels in the most important parts which is very good.
The soundtrack overall was again I say it beautiful.
Character-7
I gave the character 7 as to me, this character design is commonly seen, where some characters have to little springs coming out their head, a bit like Greg from diary of a wimpy kid and all the characters eyes are massive, even for anime. Personality wise, I thought there was a good variety but a couple too many people who were physically abusing others (ahaha)
Enjoyment-8
I did enjoy this story very much, I am so glad I watched it, never will I regret it. But I enjoyed it for the odd reason of ingoing to probably help me in the hopefully long life ill live ahead(?). I'm sure the future me will be thankful.
As I'm still kinda a child(mentally I'm always gonna be a child, physically, ehhh i guess I'm not) I probably don't get the true beauty of this but I guess I'll re-watch it in a couple of years time and maybe actually cry? We'll see.
Overall-10
(Yeah if you add up all the scores of each part and get the average it ain't gonna be 10 but when I think about this overall, it does deserve a 10.)
After watching Clannad: After Story, I think the way I will live my life in the future will be more firm and I think I'll be able to handle harder situations better. Knowing and accepting that the road of life is gonna be hard ahead is probably the first step to adulthood(I think) so when I'm bothered to step into that world, I guess I'll take my own advice(gosh what kinda person am I, taking my own advice-_- )
Well for those who were bothered to read that all, I hope you do enjoy Clannad: After Story :)
BYE
xx

Who wouldn't want to kill their teacher??
Assassination Classroom/ Ansatsu Kyoushitsu/ "AssClass" is an extremely amusin' anime- I mean school is a place where you learn stuff, make friends etc. etc. BUT on top of that, trying to kill you teacher?? I'd like to take this moment to congratulate the author for this genius idea.....
Story: I love the idea. The concept is humorous and I think the way class 1E or the "End Class" is portrayed is interesting(still annoying though how everyone else is all...y'know ill leave it at that for this part).
Art/Sound: I mean its a 2015 anime, of course the quality is gonna
...
be good.
Character: hmm I guess they are all average, well except from Koro-sensei of course. Maybe they need personalities that stand out a little more...maybe that'll ruin the show...sorry this is my first ever review...
Enjoyment: I love the punchlines like SOOO much. Like something stupid happens the "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?" or "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!". Just personal preference. I enjoy comedy like that.
Overall: I recommend this to pretty much anyone who is ok with Koro-sensei's face(I mean some people might be scared of him-who knows;)) and likes action, comedy and school.
ENJOY-
