This manga had so much potential!

Intriguing story, impressive twists, and interesting characters! It had wonderful world building and good themes.

It's about a quest to find "morning" from that dark world. Ironically, the one desperately looking for it doesn't even really need to find it, while those who do are satisfied with the dark. Until, of course, they meet a certain someone.

I'm pleased with the philosophical and psychological aspects/themes of the manga. There's just so much about human behavior being reflected in the manga that appear to be applicable even in present time.

But I'm not that surprised about it being quite unpopular. It lacks appeal for ... some reason. (Yes, I think that no matter how impressed I am with this manga)

Still.... it's a shame that it ended too soon.

This spectacular show helps you appreciate animation and the people behind it more than you already do.

Most people think that a drawing skill is the only essential skill when doing animation... but animation is more than just paper. Yes, one's creativity and imagination can make your jaw drop in awe.... but they would be meaningless without the help of abilities. This magic may be put to waste if it weren't for the help of the sounds that make them alive, and the promotion done that make them known to people.

In other words, there are many kinds of talents that create such a masterpiece. And all ... of these talents are equally important and amazing!

Personally, this show helped me appreciate producers the most. The creative team is fantastic and all that, but apparently it's people like the producers who get things done. Thanks to them, we get our entertainment.... on time!

Although the youth is the common audience of animation, the people behind it aren't necessarily at that age. For the youth to understand these people better, I think it's a good choice that they used young girls as the main characters of the show. It will be easier for young people to relate to them with this. There are face many struggles, and it's amazing how they overcome such things like superheroes!

I'm also pleased that the animation projects these girls had are not necessarily girly types (we have robots fighting monsters instead of a romantic comedy). I love how it had broken stereotypes, without making them boyish!

Lastly, I really love how the show demonstrated that having things done exactly the way you want isn't the solution to everything. Sometimes you need to listen to others, even from people you doubt will share anything useful. Sometimes you also need to give in, and let others express themselves. It's because oftentimes, amazing ideas can come from the people you least expect it from. So keep an open mind.

Although this show had been amazing in so many aspects, for some reason it didn't draw me in that much. Perhaps it's because it didn't tell much about the story's actual setting (although interesting, there was so much focus on the worlds which the characters created), and it's sometimes quite predictable (no matter the struggle; things always turn out fine in the end). The characters may be great, but apparently not appealing enough to love either.

In summary, you may not find the show itself that lovable, but it will definitely make you love the geniuses behind it more.

Still as ridiculous and hilarious as the previous seasons, hahaha! Sometimes things don't need to make sense in order to enjoy watching a show~

I think there isn't much character development unlike the previous season, but I'm pleased that this season did so well in developing the relationship between the main duo. It didn't put too much emphasis on the sister beating up the brother (we've already seen so much of that in season one); it even showed moments when they get along... or acting alike. Shows that no matter how different siblings appear; they can't be THAT different.

What a fun ride~ Looking forward to ... more seasons!

It was fantastic to get a glimpse of the fashion designing industry in this show. It seems so easy, but it's apparently just as crazy as showbiz.

The characters can be boring at times, but overall they're not bad. This had been fun to watch, and every episode was interesting in its own way. I'm most impressed with the messages it's trying to portray...

The main theme of this show is about never giving up in pursuing your dreams. It's nice to see that the show demonstrates that even people who seem to have everything have their own struggles as well.

I find it terrific that the ... show also highlights that it's more impressive that you get to balance everything that's important to you. Fulfilling your dreams is great; but not at the expense of your family. Supporting your family is honorable; but not at the expense of putting yourself in despair.

Really good.

It's unusual to see a story about a jeweler, much less a jeweler's story that's well-written.

Admittedly, it can get a little boring sometimes, but overall each episode manages to remain interesting.

Characters in it aren't so bad either. I absolutely adore how the main characters express their love for each other despite not being a romantic couple. I'm pleased that the show is fully aware that love between two guys is possible; and it doesn't have to be romantic love.

Lastly, I like how this show made me appreciate gemstones more than before. Their beauty is not the only thing that makes them valuable.

The art and ... the characters in the show may be pretty... but it's actually beyond that which makes this show pretty good.

Quick First Impressions:
This has been one of the most amusing and refreshing series (with a vampire for a main character) I've ever read. Not to mention it isn't even angsty!!! O_O I can't wait for the antagonist/s to show up... things will definitely get even more interesting when that happens~

Honestly, everything in it would've been fun and great if it weren't for the leading girl (she's the "stereotype" and the main cause of the "cliche" scenarios). Oh well, I'll try my best to ignore her. I don't wanna miss all the fun~

Quick First Impressions:
Prisoners here want to get out of prison mainly because it's their order, and they have a bigger mission outside. Hopefully, their opponents (particularly the cops) won't be that easy (they managed to catch such high ranking criminals after all).

So far so good. I think it's very interesting. Hopefully the manga adaptation will focus more on their escape and their adventure out of prison... rather than on the... disturbing parts (I'm not a a yaoi fan, ya know)

Pretty much your typical shounen series... but the action scenes seem bloodier (literally and figuratively) and the main characters aren't so bad. It can get better depending on the new characters showing up and the stuff that the hero would need to do.

What a fantastic fantasy and psychological thriller! It was so intense that it got me at the edge of my seat xD Very interesting and intriguing so far~

It's already so great on its first chapter, and it gets even better on the next (and will most likely go on in the succeeding chapters xD).

Tiger & Bunny is not your typical superhero show... yet it is just as charming and as exciting as your favorite superhero shows~

If you look into this series as the usual comical mecha show, you'll definitely be disappointed... since it's not even a mecha show in the first place. Tiger & Bunny isn't the type of series which you can appreciate for what it appears on first impression alone, but for what it is.
