in this anime I cried a lot as it ended. Are 3D girls or 2D girls better? We have heard this question millions of times now. When it happens, punctually, we see the shifting otaku appear which initially thunders over the superiority of the 2D girls, but which then sees the birth and growth of a strictly 3D beautiful harem around it. And at that point the poor man must also ask himself the drama of the choice: the protagonists of the manga or video games are sweeter and more graceful than their real counterparts, but the harem is 100% Kyushu meat, do we want
...
to throw it?
This narrative approach has by now become very widespread, so much so that when I meet it, I no longer consider it as an element of novelty or differentiation, but I make it one of the many possible classic canons of a sentimental anime. This means that this component can no longer be criticized for what it represents, but leaves the viewer the classic choice I like, I look at it / I don't like it, I don't look at it. To be clearer: an anime about the fight cannot be criticized because its characters are violent; if you don't like violence, then you just don't look at it. The same goes for the otaku character discussed above: he may not like it, but even in this case it is not correct to criticize his presence; the only possible choice is not to look at souls in which there are characters of this type.
If I let myself go to such a long digression it is because, obviously, "3D Kanojo: Real Girl" is based precisely on this initial situation: Tsutsui is an otaku with big problems in social relations; his only friend is Ito, another otaku who loves to go around with cat ears on his head. Iroha, on the other hand, is a very frivolous girl, who passes from one relationship to another and whose only quality seems to be her physical beauty. When Tsutsui defends Iroha from the violence of a stalker, the boy will inevitably end up attracting the girl's interest; you can imagine the sequel yourself.
"3D Kanojo: Real Girl" is a sentimental anime basic model without too many options: the story, that is, contains many of the classic elements of souls of this type and develops them in the traditional way, without major deviations from other souls already seen in past. The script is certainly not very ambitious and contains some contradiction, but despite this it is pleasant enough and capable of tearing at least one sufficiency.
However, what will make me lean towards a slightly higher rating is the characterization of the characters, which I found pleasantly realistic. All the characters, who for one reason and another, are "losers" who find redemption following the events narrated in the anime; but the way of thinking of those who lived many years as a geek cannot change at the same rate as events, but will change more slowly. And so, for example, we will see that Tsutsui will almost never be able to understand the feelings of those around him, as his way of thinking is not "programmed" to accept the fact that his way of being can be appreciated from someone; this deficiency will prevent him from choosing the "right" behavior in a whole series of situations which he either has no experience of or has experienced in the past but in a "traumatic" way.
If my vote had had a surge towards the top thanks to the presence of this psychological component in its characters that, personally, I have evaluated very positively, at the same time there is to report a really too disappointing graphic apparatus, even for a "Not expert" like me. The soundtrack is good: the ending, in particular, is definitely catchy.
Ultimately, "3D Kanojo: Real Girl" is an anime that turns out to be exactly what was expected: an anime without too many pretensions, for better or for worse. A better judgment, however, can only be given with the following seasons, when the anime will finally reveal all its (few) secrets

Seriously, this anime is the proven proof that if the script is really good, you don't need to be too original to succeed. And the script is really good! It looks like it came out of Shakespeare's typewriter (although he didn't have one). I believe that Lelouch is one of the protagonists most tortured by his author at all, and the torture takes place through events and plot twists that, if at first they displace you, after a few minutes with a cool head you can not do anything but accept, according to the verdict of your mental slow-motion (Michael Night Shyamalan take notes on
...
how to make a twist!). In fact Lelouch is really looking for them all alone: you can't make an omelette without breaking any eggs, and the omelette that the Prince of Britannia wants to make is as big as the whole world! Many times I excluded them: "But no, come on, the authors cannot be so ruthless!", And instead they are really so ruthless. But there are also some complacent aspects that I don't like about this show: the useless parts of slice of life, the fanservice really out of place, the hidden publicity wasn't even "Christmas Holidays"! And then the dwell too much on the battles between robottoni ... yes, I know that this is an anime of robottoni, but nobody really looks at him for robottoni. If instead of mecha there had been planes, helicopters or SUVs, the highlights of the anime would have remained intact. We are interested in seeing how Lelouch, starting from nothing, will destroy the established world order. This is worth the sacrifice of some fillers!
Despite being always very reluctant to take in view series that have received great popular support (I can't help it, like a modern hipster I am wary of souls who have received great favors from critics, it is a question of expectations and in what proportion they are actually maintained ), after about ten years from its first release I allowed myself the luxury of looking at "Code Geass".
Lelouch, then, is a multi-faceted and full of elements also opposed to each other, since he is cynical, calculating, but he also has a big heart and really knows how to feel affection. Its poor physical ability, then, makes it credible, because it makes it not a mister perfection, but a normal person. It does not seem at all a second Light, indeed, in its own way, it constitutes the parody or, I should say, nemesis. As is the rest of CC, beautiful, sad and elegant, a true nemesis of Ryuk, looking much better. But all the characters will prove to be much broader and more complex than what they seem at the beginning, making this work very interesting as a characterization. From this point of view, indeed, Suzaku is its second emblem, because, opposite to Leoluch, it seems so calm and innocent, but in the end, to achieve its goals, it will prove worse than him.
But also the second challenge, to make "Code Geass" the new "Gundam", is won big: the battles are won based on tactics, like in a chess game, and we don't have the super-robot that wins everything , but only tactics and strategy. As can also be seen from the last episode, where the advanced robots will be several and the tactic will give the victory ... but no spoilers! Then, in the second, we will return to the more advanced mecha, but it is another story. Even the two episodes in mid-series with CC's second apprentice sounded great, a series in the series.

it is one of my favorite souls what can I say this perfect anime.
Code Geass was loved for his intriguing fantasy-political setting and the charisma of all his characters.
But it was not only Lelouch Vi Britannia, aka Zero, and his Black Knights who were the only ones to fight the cruel empire of Britain, but there may have been other brave warriors who, though history did not account for him, fought for a house where to go back or for someone they want to protect.
So let's talk about stories that can be little things compared to the war of the Black Knights, but which can
...
be very interesting if you want to pay attention and explore a page of the history of the Code Geass world, kept hidden.
And with Code Geass: Akito The Exiled, we will learn about the hidden history of the wZERO unit, and their personal war against Britannia, in a time never deepened: What would have happened between the failure of Black Rebelion and the alleged death of Zero (end before series) and the return of him (beginning of second)?
We will find out with the eyes of the Wyvern wZERO group and with the eyes of the avenging boy Akito Hyuga.
if you've ever wanted to know more about the war between Britannia and the Euro Universe, this mini-series is just for you. In it we will see the charming Lala Maikal, European officer and his orderly, the Japanese Akito. No, no mistake, despite being Japanese, Akito really fights for Europe, in a special body of pariah that faces the most deadly missions in exchange for obtaining European citizenship. Unfortunately, to date, only the first two episodes of the four have been published and it is not yet easy to get an idea of the product. undoubtedly the plot is interesting, with lots of new characters and the related plots and subplots that this entails since we are in Code Geass after all.

"Clannad - After Story" is essentially the continuum of "Clannad - School Life" and is always taken from the homonymous graphic novel by Key. After the events of "Clannad - School Life", the anime resumes seeing the protagonists Nagisa Furukawa and Tomoya Okazaki as a couple who, together with the other characters, spends his last days of school. With the end of the school, after having studied all the stories about the other characters, the anime reveals its true beauty: in fact "Clannad - After Story" does not limit itself to describing the events that took place during high school, but manages to go further,
...
showing us the continuation of the lives of the two protagonists, who find themselves having to face the adult world. This "second season" completes the story, succeeding in every moment to get you excited, thanks to its strong moral on the concept of family. That said, for me it really is a masterpiece, which I recommend vividly to everyone.
Continuation of the first "Clannad", "Clannad - After Story" takes up the events of the previous series enriching the Tomoya-Nagisa issue (and not only that) of a more mature reading and perhaps a little more detached, less passionate but more purified, telling more adult characters struggling with a greater reality, that of the responsibilities that must come with the advent of adulthood.
The drawings rightly remain the same, although obviously they weren't the best in some details before and remain so even for this sequel (but it couldn't be otherwise, after all).
I don't like that much

Really sweet and very cute souls, with splendid drawings both for the characters and for the scenarios. Although it contains some typical elements of the sentimental genre, history has its own and original traits that make it interesting even in its simplicity.
The development of the various moments of the plot is very linear and balanced, without being boring or chaotic.
Very interesting is the use of the theme of the game to discover itself as the fulcrum of the whole affair, that game which not only constitutes an important part of childhood, but which is important to discover precisely oneself and the adults that one will
...
become: without this essential slice of everyone's life, it is not possible to serenely manage oneself in our formation, healthy, towards the age of choices, that journey that begins in adolescence and leads to the succession of moments of adulthood; it is thanks to the lightness with oneself, that is to say the serene cohabitation with one's most genuine and spontaneously childish sides in a good sense, that the protagonist will be able to distinguish between play and life, between unstable company between playmates ... It's love.
The story opens on Yuuta Togashi, a high school student who wants to leave the second media syndrome behind. This is the sort of mental condition of the young Japanese people who imagine living in a fantasy world where they are sleeping warriors / wizards who fight evil. This will make them behave in a ridiculous way in the eyes of their peers, dressing up in a bizarre way to go to school, talking as if they were in a role play. Our protagonist Yuuta has overtaken this phase and decides to enroll in a high school where none of his old middle class classmates joined to be able to start from scratch. Things will get complicated for him when he meets a girl of his class, Rikka Takanashi, who still has the second-grade syndrome and who risks falling into his imagination too.

There is no more beautiful majokko anime than this. "Card Captor Sakura" is that anime that I see again and again, without ever getting tired. It counts seventy episodes, yet for me they are not enough to appreciate the work. It also boasts two films (I didn't like the first one very much, though).
Graphics and music are truly exceptional, it manages to make you laugh and cry and, not a little important, the protagonist is not a total complaint! The characters are beautiful, Syaoran Li over all.
The protagonist of the story is the small Sakura Kinomoto, a 10-year-old girl like many others, who lives with
...
her father Fujitaka, professor of Archeology at the university, and her older brother Touya, high school student and Part Time worker, while her mother Nadeshiko died for 7 years.
To be followed, since the story enjoys a good rhythm and does not point to visual excesses in favor of a very delicate and fascinating vision, where love and friendship will be the masters of this fascinating, and even mysterious, story .

this anime anyone should look at is a masterpiece !!
I like it a lot, a harem with a rather original story, but one that does not excite.
The fact that it was set also in Italy intrigued me a lot but in the end the result is an enjoyable series that does not excel in any aspect, except perhaps for the unusual setting, among other things rather cured, of Cagliari.
The story revolves around Godou Kusanagi, a Japanese boy who is in Italy (Sardinia) to deliver, under request of his grandfather, an old stone tablet. Here he has his first contact with the gods and the supernatural,
...
having to even face the mythical Persian god of victory Verethragna. Thanks to the help of Erica Blandelli, an Italian girl known a little earlier, and to the stone tablet - which in reality is a powerful grimoire - the protagonist manages to defeat the Persian god and acquire his powers, thus becoming a Champion : a killer of gods. The plot develops with Godou who must learn to use the "ten powers" of Verethragna, each of which has a specific characteristic (Wind, Taurus, White Horse, Camel, Boar, Young, Raptor, Goat, Aries, Warrior), a check the Golden Sword - an instrument always belonging to the Persian god - which, being of divine nature, can hurt any deity and face both other Champions (Salvatore Doni and Lord Sasha Voban) and deities (Athena and Perseus). In the meantime it also encircles other girls, like the vestal princess Mariya, the knight Liliana and Ena.
The mythological component is very important within the soul since multiple divinities are presented, which are characterized and analyzed in a fairly specific and detailed way. It does not slow down or even make the anime boring.
The graphics are accurate and detailed for the fights, a little less for the characters; a small comparison must also be made with the anime "Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works" because the "world of swords" by Shirou Emiya is very similar to that of Godou Kusanagi.

is an anime that struck me a lot as online sword art at the beginning the main character is the strongest player in the online game btooom is a nett (singular nerd). The development of the plot itself works, the characters are realistic, sensible ideas, reasonable plans. Even the situations are quite different from each other, despite having bombs in common. The only thing that does not convince me is why these guys are brought to the island. But the real problem with this series is that everything that happens is already seen. We are facing the umpteenth clone of "Battle Royale", if not the
...
least original of its copies, the most similar to it. Another thing that upsets the nose and not a little is that the story is incomplete: in fact in the last five years there has been no follow-up and it can be deduced that the project has been canceled.
Reading the plot I was intrigued and given to the mad joy because when there is an anime that stands out the survival I do expect it, putting myself comfortable on the sofa and watching it until the end.
Summing up the plot, Ryouta Sakamoto is a twenty-two year old unemployed who spends his days playing a video game, BTOOM, where he is one of the best, does not have a good relationship with his mother and almost always ends up being indecent. One day he wakes up in a tropical island where his skill with bombs is immediately put to the test, just like in the video game. The protagonist will find himself in a hell where he will have to try to survive and unite his playing talent with the real one.
In conclusion Btoom is an anime that surely has some staff, there are no others like this. Definitely like the lovers of the genre.

There are inspired works and works that are not. 'Erased' is unequivocally part of the first category. A work of art written with the heart, of those able to change the heartbeat of the spectator, and to act directly on his soul. In short, a work of art worthy of being realized, not like most films or TV series, which are produced nowadays, and are only imitations, or even worse, imitations of imitations of imitations.
Erased 'is not the copy of the copy of anything:' Erased 'has its soul. And his pulsating soul is that of each of his characters, starting with Satoru Fujinuma, his protagonist.
Satoru
...
has a special gift: in the presence of imminent tragedies, it finds itself back in time (generally from one to 5 minutes before the ominous event), so as to be able to intervene to avoid the worst, modifying the course of events.
But there is an unresolved knot in his life. A very sad event that failed to change and that has serious repercussions on its present. Satoru is a mangaka but he cannot pour all of himself into his work. Was a part of him stuck in the past?
'Erased' is a journey into the soul of Satoru and, literally, a 360-degree journey into his life. A journey that will take him back to Kayo Hinazuki, an old classmate of his who lives with a mother who, it seems, constantly and brutally mistreated her

The plot sees Dan as the protagonist who meets his Bakugan Drago who asks him for help to save his world, and his companions and enemies meet them. Bakugans are monsters from another dimension and playing cards have a particular scope that corresponds to a natural element, such as fire, water, light, etc.
The plot consists of these kids who have to save the world from the wicked who use the Bakugan for their shady purposes.
The anime of which children and kids from 10 years up go crazy is nothing more than a simple mixture of other products of the same kind, such as "Yu Gi
...
Oh". "Bakugan", to me, is just another publicity stunt from which the authors derive a lot of money through the sale of toys. Poor children of the future.
It is one of the souls that I saw when I was a child and I also want to watch it even though I am a majorenna
