Gundam Wing the TV series was full of confusion for me, and this compilation movie of 3 OVA episodes are a nice touch finish the series. It felt like it tried to fix the mess that the TV show made. Unfortunately the mess was too big sometimes since it lost way too much focus sometimes and the characters weren't utilized effectively for best storytelling.

This movie, however, revisited why the 5 Gundam pilots came to Earth in the first place, and explained some background of the characters and their settings. As a Trowa fan, I also loved the fanservice of his new circus costume (shirtless ... with suspenders) and WuFei got more important roles in this sequel and I was very glad he wasn't completely isolated like he was sometimes in the show. I feel sorry for Duo since he's always treated horribly (this movie not exception) and him not getting much background info is just fitting for the character and I'm fine with that. He's almost a comic relief it's sad but reassuring.

They were kinda obsessed with the idea of self-destruction switch and it made me laugh since it reminded me too much of that time when Heero did so in the show. The guys are seriously crazy like in the show, but more believable and well, a bit understandable. I think the whole Gundam series is filled with crazy, border line insane, characters, but this movie was a bit mild compared to the show. The show didn't explain the characters' psych. In this sequel, they're really talking and telling you all they can after they developed more emotionally throughout the show.

The female characters really shined in this movie. And although I cherished all the fanservice or basically getting more background info on the pilots, I enjoyed the toughness of the heroines. Well, except Catherine, she didn't get much since she's not soldier/politician, but Relena was more active, Sally and especially Lady Une were inspiring. But Noin takes the cake for me. She turned out much more manly than well, you know, that guy. The new antagonist is a little girl, and that reminded me so much of another little girl in Gundam Z or ZZ and she felt boring. The enemy side couldn't get more screen time to be compelling since there were so many protagonists, mainly gundam pilots, that took the much needed time for background stuff.

In the end, I'm so glad they made this sequel to the show. I know there are some novels or manga for the Wing series, as for any popular Gundam series, but with this movie I felt more complete and satisfied after the under-explained TV show.

This show proves that anime pokemon staff are so determined to make pokemon more interesting than people think. They make sure made it really derpy and kind of interesting at some points. I usually don't watch the pokemon anime, but I loved playing Black so much that I checked this out and I'm glad I did because this is simply hilarious.

The story is pretty similar to other pokemon series; Ash ans friends going around on adventure to be the pokemon master. The different things are the different characters from the Unova region.

The best character is definitely Dent/Cilan because he's voiced by Miyano Mamoru and ... his personality is so weird and funny. Just hearing his random phrases about this taste and that makes me LOL.

The thing I don't understand is why there is no Cheren when there is Bel (forgot her English name). I feel like Cheren should be the main rival of Ash in this anime but idk why they made another character for that.

Now the main reason I watch this show is the Subway Masters! I'm so happy they made it to the anime even though some people just didn't (like Cheren, Black/White, N....). They just appeared on the latest episode and I can't wait for the battle subway episodes!

I only recently got into Bleach like last summer so this is my first Bleach movie. I may watch older ones soon. This movie was made for the 10th year anniversary of Bleach and it was one hell of a celebration (bad pun intended, sorry).

Because the current anime is just full of random fillers I expected something slightly boring but after watching this I'm just assuming they sent all the good animators to the movie production because this was much better than I thought.

The movie itself was pretty unique, exploring the world other than soul society and Karakura town; hell. The original characters ... were unique as well and I was glad they looked much more developed with better designs than random arrancars and other characters.

Certain moments caught me off guard but it was well made nevertheless.

MUGEEEEENDAAAINAAA YUUUUMENOOOOATONOOO~♪ ♫

Yes, that's pretty much what made this show so awesome, i.e. THE OP SONG BY WADA KOUJI.

The insert song is pretty cool too, btw. Idk about non-Japanese versions, though. The ED songs could sound really cheesy if you're not used to cheesy J-pop.

To sum it up, this show has 54 episodes of awesome friendship and bromance and character development for every protagonist. It's about 12 years old, so it has some old school moments, but these songs got never old for me, and if you watch it you'll know why. Although if you didn't watch it 12 years ago I'm not sure ... if you can acquire the nostalgia that basically makes this series amazing. But you really don't have to be a child to enjoy this because it has meaningful messages for every occasion.

One of the good summer anime shows of 2011.

The story is a bit dull but the drama makes up for it. But I did try to avoid the spoilers because it is interesting at some parts. I really loved some surprising plot twists. Like Yukiatsu's part.

The art was brilliant when it came to the background and scenery. It was based off some real town in Japan. The characters were awkward sometimes. The character design was done by the person who did Toradora, I think, but this time, they made sure that people had strong jaw/chins. But some people looked fine. Like Yukiatsu.

The cast was ... pretty cool, especially Yukiatsu's Sakurai Takahiro.

The music was fabulous, OP, ED and BGM. The ending made me nostalgic because it was a cover of a song from 10 years or something which I heard often when I was living in Japan.

Prepare some tissues/handkerchief for the last episode. 8'D

Baccano! is one of the first anime series I watched via internet when it was airing and it'll be my first review on here. I never read the novels, so I won't be able to compare the anime to the original work, but even without it, this is an amazing series.

I thought the abnormal order of the story and having 3 story arcs at the same time was kind of confusing at first, but later I got used to it and in the end I loved how it was uniquely structured.

The story is really interesting, so you must check it out yourself. I'm ... not being lazy to write the summary or anything, I swear. :'D

THE CAST WAS AWESOME. It made me fall for Yoshino Hiroyuki ( I think Firo was one of the first of his major roles). And everyone else for that matter. XD

To be honest, I think Baccano! anime was 124346 times better than Durarara!! anime because the story is simply stunning and too awesome for me to handle. (Not that Drrr!! sucks, but 12-13eps/3vol of novels are much better than 24-26eps/3vol)

Anyways, I'm definitely re-watching this soon because I found the complete DVD set at the local library. Booyah! It's one of those series that I should watch once in a few years. 8D
