Every couple of months my rating for this anime drops. A couple of years ago I thought this anime was awesome but now its just empty space. This anime is just a time waster. It has taken 310 episodes to complete the story (if it really is completed). That is simply way too long. This entire series is just a giant tease. The battles that are boring and involve no one particularly interesting last 5 episodes. And the really epic battles that the entire series builds up to last 1. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of filler.

Also the story makes no sense whatsoever. ... There are so many illogical characters (hinamori!) and lose ends that I just threw my hands up and gave up. My advice is: 1. If you haven't already started watching this anime, wait 4-50 years for it to end so you can skip all of the filler episodes or just watch recap episodes. 2. If you already are watching this anime, follow step one. You have probably already wasted several days of your life watching bleach. Don't waste anymore.

After watching hundreds of hours of filler anime this one is a real breath of fresh air. In 25 minutes this anime managed to grab me and hit me in my soft parts. This anime proves that you don't need 24 episodes to tell a story. This anime is simple (just a story of two lonely people in love) but it's told in such a way really sucks you in right from the start. There are definitely no extraneous plots. They cut everything out but exactly what you need to know. They don't explain a lot of what's going on but that ok because it ... is all sacrificed for the plot. It is not the situation that matters in this anime but the emotions and the relationship between the two people.

This anime is short and sweet. There is no reason why you should check this one out. It is only 25 min and I promise you that you will not regret it (unless you don't care for soppy stories and even then you should probably watch it cause it could hurt to soften up a bit) And if you have time to waste reading my review then you definitely have 25 min. Shoot, it has taken me longer to right this review than the length of the actual anime. So, I'm going to stop. Just go watch it. Thank me later.

*I tried to be very vague but there might be subtle spoilers.

I don't believe that this anime deserves all of the praise that it has been getting from all of these reviews. So I have decided to right one myself.

First, I would like to say that this is not a bad anime it's just not a great anime. Yes, the mystery in this anime is good. Some of the episodes blew my mind when I found out parts of the whole story. But I have to say that the characters are really thin and not convincing. At first it didn't matter as much because the ... characters just seemed insane so anything crazy that they did was justified, but as the series progressed and the show started giving reasons for their craziness it became unbelievable because their logic didn't make any sense. Whenever something goes wrong the characters just assume that the best course of action is to kill first and then figure out the problem.

Also, by the end the horribly gruesome murders got kind of boring. I feel like the writers just tried to find a way for each character to kill off each other character and then developed a story.

So....I won't say don't watch this because the mystery in this series is pretty intense but don't expect to have any empathy for these characters by the end. The characters simple become thin. So, give the show a watch just don't blame me if you become a psychopathic killer.

I very rarely give an anime a 10 but this one really deserves it. This is one of the few animes where I start off not liking a character but by the end I am in love with them. Not only is this anime one of the most beautiful animes that I have seen in a while but it has some of the best character development and some of the most heart wrenching moments that I have ever experienced in an anime. I'm not one to often shed a tear but it was hard for me to keep from bawling at the end of this ... movie. Young or old I encourage everyone to watch this. It starts off slow but it will get you in the end. Definitely a must see!

Really quite a wonderful anime. Most notably is the art style, it is so colorful and gorgeous that you can't stop from being encapsulated by it. The sound is very interesting as well, it mixes a slow ambiance with exciting techno. I can guarantee you that this is definitely not an anime that you have seen before..

The art style is beautiful, the sound is breath taking, and the story is heart wrenching. I would definitely say that this is a must see anime. It's really something extraordinary.

This is not the typical anime that I usually watch. If I saw myself watching this 2 years ago I would be pretty embarrassed. But as it happens I came across this anime while watching TVTokyo at 4 in the morning waiting for Bleach to come on. At first I thought it was ridiculous but it really got me hooked. This series is not like any soccer anime you might have seen before. It is over the top, most the characters develop super powers (but only when they play soccer), and often times they just throw the actual rules of soccer out the window. But ... that's what makes the show, its just over the top fun. If you are in between watching animes and just want something lighthearted to watch, then this is probably the show for you. The series follows a story but for the most part each episode has it's own plot so you can pick up the series whenever and still understand whats going on. Personally I just pick it up in between more heavy shows just to pick my mood up.
This is a recommend for everyone. Ya, it's a little kiddy but who really cares. If you like a show that takes something normal and blows it completely out of proportion then you will probably like this show. Just go turn it on, I promise you won't regret it.

This is a truly great anime. It captures a serene and calming vibe that I have never seen in anything else. The stories are so well written and timed that they become encapsulating. Each episode is different and independent so you can pick up the anime or drop it at any point but I doubt that after you watch the first couple episodes you will want to stop.

This anime creates a whole environment that brings you into the world. The music, characters, and story have a way of making you feel exactly what the characters are feeling. Most of the time you feel isolated as ... the main character visits small towns removed from the world.

There is a reason why this anime is ranked so high. It is incredible and everyone should see it.

At first I thought that this anime would be a little too kiddy for me. I generally like darker animes with deep themes but this anime ended up being a really refreshing break. Sure the storyline is a little thin and sometimes the characters don't make any sense but that's not why you watch this anime. It's really light hearted and fun. Also trying to figure out the puzzles in the anime is really fun. The next OVA gets a little slow during the end but I had a blast watching this one. I would recommend it to everyone. The characters are interesting and fun, ... the story is different and the magic is a really cool concept. If you want something different than the usual you will fall in love with Gon.

This was one of those series that I was lucky enough to stumble upon. The story in this series is so creative and gripping and the character motivations are very accurate. At first I didn't really feel that the characters were very believable but as the series progresses they reveal motivations that make the series very thought provoking.

I've noticed that other raters have given this series a bad rating but I encourage people to stick it out to the end because this series has one of my favorite endings in anime that was really deep and cool. It really makes a profound statement at the ... end that really solidifies the theme of the entire series.

I would have to say that overall this series was pretty good. Throughout the series there were a couple times when I thought that the series lulled but then there were many times as well where I felt an actual emotional attachment to the characters.

One issue I did have was that the logic of the characters became really unbelievable towards the end. Even with the fact that these characters are severely psychologically damaged, sometimes the characters motivation doesn't make sense at all and is completely unbelievable.

Like I said though, overall the series was good. The action was intense, the story was exciting with a couple ... added twists, and the characters did get me emotionally attached. Not to mention that the ending was satisfying.

So if you enjoy psychological series with lots of action then you might want to check this out. It's not long and it is pretty enjoyable.
