So before I get into writing this, I did read the manga beforehand. The anime and manga are totally different. I enjoyed this much more than the manga!

So now

Story: 9
It wasn't a 10 only because I felt like there could have been more expansion on different stories of the characters. However, unlike the manga, the sword the Yui had was actually essential in this plot. I enjoyed that it was included and I enjoyed that there was a real purpose in the end. I felt that if this was a longer series, then the story would have definitely met a 10! I loved how it ... started and I loved how it ended. I loved how Yui was so essential in everyone's life and to moving the story along to the main part.

Art & Sound: 10
Nothing I can say besides the art was just great. Even the music that was played for different scenes were fantastic.

Characters: 9
I loved all the characters. Again, I just felt like it should have been longer truly grasp the different character stories. They didn't really have a story for Anubis (?), but that was like in the manga too. However, all the characters have their own little quirks and it was enjoyable to watch them progress through. Especially Balder, Loki, and Thor.

Enjoyment & Overall: 10!
This was so much better than the manga. I wanted to keep watching the series, but alas homework got in the way. However, it was funny and intense and overall it was just a fantastic anime. I loved the ending so much, I was crying!!

I'm hoping that there would be a second season. But I doubt it haha. It was really great, and I loved it so much.

Now, I thought I was going to give this manga an 8 or 9, but after reading the ending I had to give it a 7.

Story: 7
The story starts off with Anis, who has a choker that is suppose to protect her from some punishment. However, it suddenly disappears when she's out on the school grounds, and then she has the power to summon her knights. That is what initially caught my attention and it was interesting! From having to fight off other people and help protect the world (that's how I saw it as) and then finding out more backstory of different characters, that ... was the interesting part of the manga. However, I felt like this could have been longer and more drawn out, because I felt it was almost all over the place with some aspects. I felt more romance could have developed as well, because there was some! I also thought that even the fighting in it could have been more in-depth. Even the ending left me a little bitter. However, it was a page turning manga during some parts, but the story itself could been explained more.

Art: 10
I loved the art. No doubt about it!

Character: 9
I loved all the characters. I do wish some characters had more time in the manga and I felt the story of her dad was a little rushed. But I did love learning of the 4 knights and there story! Besides Kaede, he didn't really get a back story like the rest. They were all silly and you could see just how much they loved Anis.

Enjoyment: 8
I stayed up til 4 to finish this because it was enjoying to read, and I thought the ending would be great.

Overall: 7
I just honestly felt the ending was a little bleh. It was good, but not great. As much as I want to give this an 8 or higher, I just felt the ending was lacking in some sense. BUT!!! I would still recommend this manga.

I started reading this, probably back in middle school, right after I finished watching the anime. There was something intriguing about this. At first I thought it was weird, to be following a story about elementary school kids, but it just pulled me in. I am glad to finally finish reading this (sophomore in college woot!) after all these years.

Story: 10
The story starts off with Mikan following her best friend to a new school and then becoming a student there as well. At first it just seems like a cute little story about this girl meeting new people and learning to live life with her ... abilities. There were some romances that sparked. But the main story, that kept me up at night wondering what would happen next, was totally unexpected. Mikan has so many adventures that occur after many things are revealed. I did not expect that to happen. And that's what made this manga so great. The end of their story, however, leaves readers to wonder, what is Mikan's next adventure going to be like? And I truly hope that we get at least a 5-10 chapter sequel to see what happens. But the story is so much more than a girl following her friend and making new friendships. It's about the trails and revelations that she goes through and to touch all the lives around her.

Characters: 10
I loved all the characters. At first glance Hotaru is just the stoic girl, Mikan is just silly and energetic, Ruka seems all cold, Natsume has the leave me alone attitude, and most of the characters have first impressions that make you wonder how or if they'll change. Honestly my favorites were Bear and how he changed and Tsubasa just because he was that older sibling to the younger kids.
But the main characters went through drastic changes and their friendships grew. I loved them all and how they developed and how they soon came to form such close friendships.

Overall:
I finally can close a chapter of my middle school life since I finished this xD
But in all honesty, this manga was amazing. I loved it so much. I will reread it when I can. I'm sure that anyone who reads this will think it seems silly, but then it becomes a page turner.
I hope that anyone who gives this manga a try will enjoy it. I sure did. I'm glad I picked it up again to read.

Happy readings everyone!

So I have to say that this plot was interesting and pulled me in at the beginning. I seriously stayed up at night reading it because it was so good and I wanted to find out what happened next or what developed. But a breakdown:

Story: I give it an 8. It was interesting. I love the idea of going for your dream and learning to get back up again after failures. The story progressed well. But by the end I felt it was lacking. I felt like the author could have put more into the story line the development of relationships with characters. Like ... the end somewhat jumped from this to that. I would have liked to see something a little more.

Art: I liked the art it was pleasing to the eye!

Characters: I give them an 8 because some characters needed more time in it. I thought they would be important. But they hardly were as the story progressed. I also thought there would be somewhat of a change for Hime. But she was basically the same through and through.

Enjoyment: 8 only because the ending left me feeling like there needed to be more. But it kept me up at night and I read it before class! So it was really enjoying for the time.

Overall: 8 like I said there was some things lacking, but overlooking that this manga was pretty great!

I wasn't quite sure on reading this. I thought to myself, it's just a manga about babysitting kids. But it's so much more than that.

Story: 8/10
Each chapter seems to focus on a different thing going on with the babysitting club. Yet each chapter focuses on resolving something. The main plot is just about a kid who was suddenly taken in by a lady and he has to take care of a bunch of preschoolers.
There seems to be more of a deeper plot going on, but I still haven't quite figured it out. I think it's something of learning how to move on from ... losing someone. But that's just my take on it.
This story is really heartwarming though, and chapter 30 had me crying.

Art: 10/10
I really like the artwork in this! The way the kids are drawn is just super adorable and the way that the main character is drawn makes him cute! aha

Character: 10/10
Let's start with the Oba-san, she is actually my favorite character in the whole story. She puts up a front in which it seems like she doesn't really really care and that she's going to be bothered by Ryuuichi and Kotarou, but in reality she just doesn't want to show attachment. This makes her my favorite becakse she's trying so hard.
I love Ryuuichi! I think it's so cute how much he cares for his brother. Although I wish he wasn't so dense when it came to girls. LOL but he's a great character.
The other characters in the story make it funny! Like Inomata and Kamitani, they just add to the story and their little actions make the story funnier!

Enjoyment: 9/10
I honestly really love reading it (: It's adorable

Overall: 9/10
I feel like there should be more to the plot. It's just missing something. But overall I really like reading it. I'm going to be so sad when I finally catch up in it >~< ugh.
So I really recommend this to anyone who wants to read a cute, heartwarming story.

Story 10/10
Isn't it weird? The Generation of Miracles are full of strong people who have surpassed regular basketball play, yet the phantom sixth man, Kuroko, is much weaker than them. How is he even considered part of this? What does he hide? And as the story progresses, everyone finds out about Kuroko and his strength. Though he is weak, he is a key player in Seirin. As matches go on and as the Seirin team encounters the Generation of Miracles, they grow, but not just them so do the Miracles. My favorite part of the overall story is how each player learns to enjoy ... themselves. Losing and winning, that's what the game of basketball is. Everyone needs to taste defeat sometime and hopefully it changes their way.

Art: 8/10
Only because some scenes can be exaggerated with the drawings. However the details in the artwork are a key in making the manga so exciting to read. The sweat drawn and the way the players execute their moves are well drawn and it gives a sense of how hard they are working.

Characters: 10/10
I love the characters. I really really do. They are all silly in their own ways, and yet they are so serious when it comes to the game. I love how they change throughout the story too. Basketball isn't just a game anymore, it's something much more for them. Some characters do scare me, I do know that there's something more about them, so I'll wait. They may not scare me anymore.
It's not just the development I love, it's how they interact with each other, how they play off each other, and how they can joke with each other. It's great.

Enjoyment: 10/10
I love reading this. I hold my breath during some matches because of how intense they are. I get emotional when Kuroko gets serious. I laugh at the silliness in the manga. I just can't stop to put it down. (Well I have to right now gotta wait for the updates! LOL) But this manga is a page turner for me.

Overall: 10/10
It's an amazing manga. A great story and funny characters and games that can keep you on edge. Even the back stories keep you on edge. This manga is just thrilling to read and I cannot wait for the next update!

A dream is a wish your heart makes~
This is my first time reviewing so eep.

Story: 9/10
Overall the story was great. A little bit of romance, but not so much. If you're looking for one with a lot of cutesy romance, well this isn't really something to read. This is more of a story about reaching ones dreams.
It's a bit fast paced, but you can clearly see how focused the characters are on their dreams. It's really inspiring to see what the characters did in order to reach their dreams.
The only reason I give this a 9/10 is for the lack of a ... developing romance, it just kind of happened. Also because of how stuff seemed to be just thrown in.

Art: 10/10
I have no issues with the art. I really liked how the characters were drawn (:

Character: 9/10
I must say the lead girl did annoy me just a bit. But I guess it's only because of how she grew. She basically did a complete turn from her shy self. Many may disagree with me, but she really just went from shy to bam let me take initiative. I would have liked to see a little more progression, but I guess this is understandable since it was only 17 chapters.
The main guy was really supportive. I liked him, but I feel like there could have been a little more on him. Ah well.

Enjoyment: 10/10
I really did like reading this(:
I liked the whole follow your dreams theme of this. And I couldn't stop reading because I wanted to see how they were able to.

Overall: 10/10
Really I would recommend this to anyone who feels down about their dreams or for just anyone to rekindle the fire in achieving their dreams!
