Onani Master Kurosawa is a manga well worth mentioning. It starts off on a tangent with a guy who masterbates (hence the name "Onani") in the 3rd floor female washroom which is always desolate. While leaving, he runs into a girl...

Story: A standard "boy meets girl and girl changes his life" kind of method. Nothing in the story that would make you think "Oh. Its quite unique" (except the masturbating part). Pulls the anime references at pretty bad times too. Ending was a little off from how i expected, in a negative way.

Art: Design of characters are fairly well done. Girl that gets bullied ... looks scruffy, 'popular' girls look pretty, and main character looks like a typical evil character. Bodies are proportional, unlike clamp designs.

Character: I don't want to say much, since the whole goodness of this manga revolves around this. Character development is prominent, and was the part I liked the most. Leaves a strong (but not powerful) imact.

Enjoyment: Wasn't bad at all. Ends off with the 'happy' ending as many would expect.

Highly recommended to people above the age of 14.

Story: This really is something else than your normal romance / drama series (not in the sense of school days). Of course, if you've seen the first series (tale of memories), you'll already know the gist of whats going to happen. A hefty sum of twists and turns to keep you watching throughout the whole 13 episodes.

Art: Once again, something different (in some aspects). Different style of graphics to make the art in this stunning.

Sound: Tenmon. Same music makers as Place Promised in Our Early Days and 5 Centemeters Per Second. Fantastic use of violins and and some brass to make it very smooth and ... calm to rough and violent.

Character: Very believable. What people say, their reactions, and the space between talks is similar to how reality would be like.

Enjoyment: Great. To me, I enjoyed it very much. Most certainly wouldn't mind watching it again.

Overall: I would have rated it 10, but math compels me to put 9.

Story: Well, there isn't much of a story plot. Similar to Minami-ke, and Azumanga Daioh, its just a series of short skits.

Art: Its not fantastic, but its not mediocre either. Its rather quite similar to a certain manga (hint minami-ke hint).

Character: Quite realistic. Childish, but the characters are 10 year olds.

Enjoyment: If you liked Minami-ke, your bound to enjoy this. (well, its the same author)

Overall: As of Sakuraba Coharu's works, I give it a 7.

Story: The story plot was very good. Although there was bits and pieces that could of been explained a bit more (or should of happened), it was still written very well.

Art: If the artwork in this movie doesn't amaze you, I don't think any other movie will. Artwork is amazing and will sure to blow you away.

Sound: Other than the fact the BGM was flawless, voice acting was very well done (I listened to the English dubbed one, so i have no comments for Japanese.).

Character: Great character. Even those side characters were well done. But the way they were introduced was rather bad.

Enjoyment: I ... found it a well used 1.5 hours of my life. Heck, I might even watch it again in the near future.

Overall: As of Shinkai's works, i give it a 10.
