Ibitsu (Manga) add
This manga had amazing praise online but I was very disappointed! Ibitsu is flat, boring, and frankly goofy.

STORY: 2
I play a lot of 8bit freeware horror games. They're short, terrifying, and unique. This was...not. Ibitsu reads like a poorly executed attempt to cram as many horror tropes into one series as possible. We've got yandere lolitas, online urban legends , a decrepit insane asylum, dead animals in food, and a healthy dose of vague incestuous implications in classic "Onii-chan, mess me up!" fashion. The premise of the story is absurd, and not in a scary or troubling way.

There are also a ridiculous amount of ...

Nabari no Ou (Anime) add
Mixed Feelings
I think the most important thing to say about this series is that it's mediocre. It's good enough to watch, but honestly, the series generally feels rushed, disjointed, and well--average.
Story (6): Nabari No Ou is another ninja anime. That's not intirinsically bad, but it's enough to make someone roll their eyes. If this is going to be a ninja anime, it'd better be good. And that's the thing--it's really just not. Ninjas in modern day. That's not terrible, but the truth is that Nabari No Ou tried to be more than it was. It tried to incorporate big ideas of the universe and the fragility ...

Madoka Magica is a fresh take on the magical girl genre and an unholy union of shoujo and horror.
Story/ Plot (8): The story is actually quite good. The plot is something creative, something that we've never really seen before. There are commonly utilized plot devices like character death and dreams, but the combination of this with the horror aspect of the witches and deception actually creates a really good manga recipe.
Art (10): The art of this series is absolutely gorgeous. It's minimalisitic and well defined and it knows what it wants to be. It's shoujo to the max--little girls with round faces and huge ...

Preliminary (19/73 chp)
Sukitte ii na Yo already has a lot of reviews, but I thought I'd go ahead and try to sum it up. I'm only 19 chapters deep, but I feel like I've got a pretty good feel for what this story is all about.
Plot (7): The plot is very formulaic, but it actually works. You have your super cliched chance encounter, completely clumsy love development, completely awry relationship, conflict, resolution, etc. Honestly, this reminds me a ton of Kyou Koi Wo Hajimemasu, for lack of a better comparison. This story is, very simply, a well done romance.
Art (9): The art of this series is very ...
