I finished watching Tokyo Ghoul a few hours ago and wrote a very enthusiastic review but it was all in caps because I wanted express my excitement as best I could. Apparently this is against the rules so I'm re-uploading with proper punctuation and grammar.
But anyway, Tokyo Ghoul was by far one of the best, if not the best, anime shows I have ever seen. I'm seriously still so overwhelmed with so many emotions I don't even have the capacity to feel, I'm not even joking.
You, whoever you are, person reading this review, must watch this anime the moment you're done ready. Actually forget
...
about finishing the review, go watch it now. Like, right this second.
Watch it. I promise that you will not regret it.

STORY~ (8)
Toradora! is a story about a boy, Ryuuji Takasu, and a girl, Aisaka Taiga. Ryuuji is known as a delinquent in school, despite his gentle and caring nature, and Aisaka is known as the "Palmtop Tiger" and is feared by students and teachers, although this is pretty accurate and expected considering her hostile and violent nature.
Aisaka and Ryuuji live right next door to each other and eventually make a deal to help the other out with their love life seen as both of them seem to be the victim of unrequited love.
Although Toradora! seems like a typical romance anime with the same plot
...
as almost all the rest, it's not and that's what surprised me. I was never once bored watching Toradora! and there were plenty of plot twists to keep me entertained.
If romance anime isn't for you, there might still be a chance you will enjoy this anime as it has just the right amount of humour and slice of life thrown into 25 episodes to balance out the main love story plot.
ART~ (7)
The main focus in Toradora was definitely the characters art wise, because even though the character design and animation wasn't all that good, there were still bits to admire about the characters whereas there wasn't anything very special about the background and scenery, hat being said, there wasn't really anything I can say was bad about it either. I will say this though: when it comes to animation, they definitely worked from the phrase "simple is better."
SOUND~ (9)
I found the voices of the characters very enjoyable and all of the voice actors did a great job with their characters in my opinion.
CHARACTER~ (10)
The best thing about Toradora! I found was the characters. They were all very relatable, with plenty of character development and you get to see many sides to them all. By the end of the series I was thinking of them as people I knew as oppose to characters in an anime.
ENJOYMENT/OVERALL~ (9)
Overall, I enjoyed Toradora! very much and would recommend it to anyone who asked!:)

STORY (7)
Okay. I literally just finished watching Sekirei, and the story is about the only thing I really enjoyed about it. Basically, "Sekirei" are girls who have an "Ashikabi." The Ashikabi are somewhat like the Sekirei's "master" and they must fulfill the wishes of their Ashikabi at all times. The rules of Sekirei is that they have to fight every other Sekirei they come in contact with.
Minato Sahashi is an intelligent boy living in Tokyo. However, Minato crumbles under pressure which has resulted in two failed college entrance exams.
One day, Minato is walking somewhere when suddenly a girl literally falls from the sky. Minato learns
...
that the girl's name is Misubu, but doesn't have time to learn much else because Misubu is being chased by two other women, Minato later finds out are Sekirei.
The plot then progresses when Misubu has to stay with Minato, and announces that he is her Ashikabi, sealing the deal with a kiss. As the story goes on, Minato accidentally gathers a harem of Sekirei at his command, which almost brings more trouble than it's worth.
Interesting, right? Wrong. The story would have been all it could have been if there WASN'T SO MUCH DAMN FANSERVICE. A bit of ecchi, I don't mind. THIS, however, I can barely deal with. It wasn't as bad as HOTD or Highschool DxD, becayse this I actually managed to finish, but wow. Do you know how much time they wasted with panty shots? Unbelievable.
ART (6)
The art, well.. meh. It was meh and I don't know how else to describe it. There wasn't anything particularly 'wow' about it, but nothing that bad either.
SOUND (5)
I watched the dubbed version, and let me just say I didn't enjoy it. The supporting characters were alright, but DON'T GET THE VOICE OF THE MAIN CHARACTER WRONG OR THE WHOLE THING GOES DOWN IN SMOKE. Jeez.
CHARACTER (5)
There wasn't much time for character development when all that was focused on was boobs and ass. In fact, the most character development was in the last episode, which is no good to anybody because it's a bit late to show the characters in a relatable way then. You mainly only get to see the characters bickering and fighting over Minato, which is amusing at times, but when it's half of every single episode, it's not so much fun to watch. It gets pretty boring.
ENJOYMENT/OVERALL (5.5)
The story was good, but everything else was either average or just plain bad. So unfortunately, I can't score any higher than 5.5.. Although it was a good anime with some interesting ideas, there was too much time spent on fanservice for them to actually develop anything interesting.
I guess it just isn't my type of anime.

STORY ~6
The basis for the plot was good. In fact, good enough that I could have given it a 7-8, but I had to reduce it down to a 6 because, even though the idea was a very good one, as I was watching it, I felt that the story was very 'jumpy' and 'all over the place,' and also rushed through. They left a lot of unanswered questions too, which brings it down more as well.
This could have been avoided by playing things out in a straight forward manner that was easy to follow, at least so that you knew what was going on
...
at least 90% of the time instead of 60%.
Basically, they could have saved the story line if they didn't make it so that it was confusing and leaving the viewer feeling like they missed out on some of the movie even though they've watched it all.
ART ~10
The artwork in Nerawareta Gakuen saves the movie completely. Every scene was beautiful and colourful; you can tell they really put a lot of work into the animation.
SOUND ~8
Not much to say about this, but it was enjoyable. Nothing to praise, nothing to diss.
CHARACTER ~7
There was nothing particularly wrong with the characters -they were relatable and pleasant to watch. That being said, I feel as though there was something missing from them. It's like I just couldn't get attached to them like I normally get attached to the characters while watching something. There wasn't a lot of character development for any of them, besides for maybe Natsuki, but even at that, there wasn't much for her.
ENJOYMENT/OVERALL ~6.5
Overall, however, I enjoyed watching Nerawareta Gakuen because even though I thought the plot progression was a bit of a mess, I was constantly wondering how things would end up in the end throughout the movie. Although I doubt I'll be watching this again, and if I do it won't be for a long time.
