Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji - Review

Genre: Slice of Life / Romance / Comedy
No. of Episodes: 12
My Rate: 9/10

This shoujo anime was surpisely good. At first I thought that the main female character will be extremelly annoying and stupid (as I experience this in Brother Conflict and Diabolik Lovers). Yes, she was a bit at the start and she is a bit of an idiot but as the anime progresses, there is a character development. You see characters slowely changing which may be difficult to achieve in short series. Overall, character are quite well written; we have a sadistic 'prince' and his 'victim'. It develops feelings and make you cry. It is difficult  to notice the change as the prince behaviour is twisted which makes it actually really entertaining. The graphics are alright as at first I had a problem with main female's huge, eye-catching eyes and then the appearance of her 'friends'. However, in short amount of time, I got used to it and properly  enjoyed the whole show. This anime cannot be missed as the plot is unique for me as we atcually never see a guy torturing a girl and threat her like trash. It does not look like a beautiful romance, doesn't it?

Plot: 

Erika Shinohara at the start of her first year in High School, found difficult to fit in beacuse of her late arrival, everybody was already in groups. However, she gets to know two girls in her class which only talk about their older boyfriends, make up and fashion. To fit in, Erika lies about a boyfriend that she do not have. The girls would like a proof so Erika takes a picture of a handsome, random guy on the street that looks like a model. Back in school, she met her 'friends' again and with proudness, shows them the photo. The girls were shocked. Unfortunately, later on Erika realises that the guy she photographed goes to the same school! To avoid her lie being revealed she talks to the guy. While they talk, the guys kindly agrees to pretend to be her boyfriend. Erika becames happy but not for long as the guy's personality dramatically changes to a sadistic prince that uses her like a dog.

Daily Lives of Highschool Boys - Review

Genre: Comedy / Slice of Life
No. of Episodes: 12
My Rate: 9/10

It is one of the most craziest and hilarious anime that I ever watched. It is unique, clever and ultra-interesting and with this combination it makes you watch it on one or two nights. Every episode is divided into stories that are happening to highschool boys. Of course, it shows their 'normal' life (if that is what you want to call it XD), and their deep, thoughtful conversations and extremely awkward situations. Are you bored of anime with lots of girls and harems? This anime gives us a different look and takes another, completely different direction to 'analyse' boy's brains and deep thoughts. Maybe the graphics/drawing style are not beautiful and 'out-of-this world', but in here the plot and the characters count.

Plot:
The story mainly circulates around three boys - Tadakuni, Hidenori and Yoshitake, however it also around their classmates and other students from their school. They attend to boy-school-only and have no knowledge about girls. Nearly all of them know girls as brutal and violent from experience with their own or other's sisters. Overall, the boys have weird and even deep thoughts about different topics. As well as that, during their free time, they role-play video games, fight and do what boys do.

Noragami - Review

Genre: Fantasy / Comedy / Adventure
No. of Episodes: 13
My Rate: 9/10

The characters did make me watch this anime just because they seem to have interesting personality and back story. Yes! I was right! I just wondered who these three people are to each other, how they met and what is their story - the people were Yukino, Yato and Hiyori. My questions were answered however they exceeded my expectations. How could I know that the girl can be called half-dead and the guys - one God and other his sword. The plot is enjoyable and fascinating. The graphics and animation are amazing so there is no reason not to watch this.

Plot:
Our main, female character Hiyori Iki while walking with her friends, notices a guy wearing a jersey and a scarf, with beautfiul, deep blue eyes. He chases after a cat and gets nearly hit by the car. Hiyori runs for the rescue but instead she is hit. Hiyori is send to hospital and she is alright however there is one difference - she becomes "hanyou" so her soul can leave her body without her noticing. Sometimes her body falls asleep and she wonders around the world as a ghost. Yato, the guy with the jersey, unexpectidly vists her at the hospital explaning everything that has happened and is happening. He introduces himself as a God yet he writes his cell phone number everywhere to get job requests. That is why Hiyori doesn't believe he is an actual God - just a pervert and freak in a jersey. Yato explains he needs moeny to build up his own shrine and to become more known God that would be praised by everyone.

Genre: Comedy / Adventure / Supernatural
No. of episodes: 10
My Rate: 8/10

Suprisely, this anime has a good plot. I thought it will be a parody and comedy, yet it became more interesting and the plot greatly developed. It is really full of humour and nice characters which add so much charm to the series. The serie is not so long and I would recommend it to watch for lazy days. Nice to watch and it drags you in. The story becames more interesting through time.

Plot:
Staz is a vampire and a boss of one of the demon districts. He does not attack humans yet is interested in better stuff, in short; he is an otaku. His room is filled with manga, anime, games, figures and other related stuff. One lucky day, he meets a human girl, Fuyumi Yanagi, moreover she comes from Japan!!

Haikyuu!! - Review

Genre: Sport / Comedy
No. of episodes: 25
My Rate: 9/10

Even someone that actually doesn't like sport can fell in love with this anime (example: me). How can animated volleyball can be so good? I actually don't know how! I think that characters just gave too much charm as everyone of them is precious and unique!! In addition, did you see that animation?! I love how the whole match goes as it makes it not only interesting but also exciting!! It plays with your emotions! Also it contains bunch of humour which will make you cry! The plot is also interesting as it shows the 'fallen' volleyball club which wants to climb higher and higher and become stronger and better.

Plot:
Hinata Shoyo, small ginger-haired boy, one day became really passionate about volleyball. He practised to fullfil his dream, but by himself which didn't really bring any results. In his middle school he was the only memeber of male volleyball club, however he didn't gave up. In addition he was seem as too small for this sport. One day he got a chance to play his first match so he gathered his friends and told them the basics as they literally didn't know how to play. Unfortunately, their first group of opponents had a genius player which was Kageyama Tobio - 'King of the Court'. Hinata's team didn't got even a small chance to win, despite of this Hinata was acknowledge as his speed and his ability to jump was beyond imagination. Kageyama asked furiously where was he all along. Hinata decided to practise more often on his own, with his friends and female volleyball club to beat the 'King of the Court'. When he moved to Karasuno Highschool, he wanted to join their volleyball club and then participate in tournaments and beat his rival. Unfortunately, his rival joined the same school and also wants to join the same club. How can you defeat a person if he will be your teammate?

Hitsugi no Chaika - Review

Genre: Fantasy / Comedy / Adventure
No. of Episodes: 12
My Rate:7/10

For me it was an average anime; nothing less, nothing more. Of course, I pretty enjoyed it, however I've a deep feeling that something was missing. Ending of this anime isn't really ending anime as there are huge amount of thing to cover, that's why it needs a second season. They should have done one long series, than splitting them into two short ones :/ Well, I'll forgive as the music (especially ending and opening) are beautiful, characters are very likable and somewhat charming, and of course more important the plot is truly good. Yet the pace, for me was kinda slow, and we were slowely bit by bit get a small, tiny piece of information.

Plot: 
Toru Acura is saboteur and after the great war ended by the fall of Gaz Empire (in which ruler was Emperor Arthur Gaz), he began to live a lazy life with no special goal. One day, everything changes as he meets a girl in the forest that carried a big coffin on her back. Her name is Chaika Trabant. He saves her from a man-eating unicorn and while she sees his saboteur skills, she offers him a job. She reveals herself as Princess Chaika Gaz who wants to gather her father remains and make him a funeral. In the end Toru and his adopted sister Akari are hired by Chaika yet she is started to be haunted down as people are scared of  possible rebirth of the Gaz Empire and creating another war.

Soul Eater Not! - Review

Genre: Fantasy / Comedy / Action / Supernatural
No. of episodes: 12
My Rate: 6/10

A spin-off of the original Soul Eater which spins around 3 girls which get more annoying each episode in totally different atmosphere. Where's the halloween theme? The darkness? The mystery? It concentrates on friendship, bravery, cuteness and girl-love. From zero to hero. At least the graphics are brilliant and the original characters sometimes appear on the screen! Plus both ending and opening were amazing. A bit of dissappointment however I'm just a big fan of Soul Eater so I keep watching to find something for myself. I mostly felt like watching those 'magical girls' anime, and nearly know what's going to happen. When looking at this anime seperately (without comparing to S.E.) that's what you would expect from an average yuri-typed magical girl anime about friendship........

Plot:
The story concentrates on a brand new character, Tsugumi Harudori, who one day realised that she's a weapon. She joined Shibusen and met 2 girls - Meme Tatane and Anya Hepburn -who are miesters. Three of the girls joined the NOT (Normally Overcome Target) class, where they learn how to use and control their power. The characters of original series are in EAT class (Especially Advanced Talent) which is complete opposite. Tsugumi needs to pick her meisters and learn how to control her power as a weapon. In addition there is trouble coming right ahead.......

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun (My little Monster) - Review

Genre: Romance / Slice of Life / Comedy
No. of episodes: 13
My rate: 8/10

"Love" ~ It's so simple but hard to express. This anime showed me how it is difficult to confess to someone; do they share the same feeling or not? Will he/she leave me if I confess? That is what the main characters are struggling with. All of them are different, wonderful and unique but presonally sometimes I find them annoying as how they behave which made me lower the 'rate' for this anime. In addition for me everything began too fast and haven't properly ended, however it wasn't that bad as humour was excellent as well as the romantic stuff!!

Plot:
The main character; Shizuku Mizutani only AND only cares about studing and getting the highest marks from everyone. She has no friends at all and she doesn't care if she will have any as she prefers to be alone. At first day of Highschool her classmate; Haru Yoshida picks up a fight and got suspended, however he hadn't returned to school since then. The teacher asked her if she would deliver some notes to him and ask him to return back to school. She wasn't very pleased but she do it, however the boy jumped at her aggressively and suspect her as being a 'spy'. She denies and replied that 'she doesn't care' as she done what she was ask to. The boy was amused and began considering her as a 'friend' because it was a pleasant gesture from a classmate that he never experienced.

I expected a lot from this anime as it's made by Kyoto Animation. You know what? It's fantastic! My sister is obsessed with that and hse recommended it to me!

My rate: 9.5/10

This anime really suprised me. I expected normal school life but it's real world trying to avoid changing fiction to reality caused be a talented, levely girl: Haruhi Suzumiya. The icon of Japan. It was really entertaining to watch the crazy Haruhi's ideas. One minus is that not enough romans in between characters :(

She forced Kyon and 3 other people to join the club which she called SOS Brygade. Later in anime the members - Yuki Nagato, Koizumi and Asahina - are introducing themselves to Kyon only as alien, esper and time traveller. All of them say that Haruhi is special person that can change the world or even destroy it. She doesn't even know about it.

Danganronpa; The Animation - Review

Genre: Detective / Mystery / Psychological Triller / Comedy
No. of episodes: 13
My rate: 8.5/10

Impressive mystery anime, which cannot be boring. Unique and unusually drawn. For me, the only bad point about the drawing is that the blood is pink. WHY? D: It could be more dramatic....So, who do you think will survive this despair game?

Fifteen highschool students are starting to attend special, exlusive school for special teenagers. The whole story is around 'lucky' boy who just was randomy picked to attend the Hope's Peak Academy. Suddenly he wakes up in that school. He saw that all the windows and exits are barricaded. He enters the sports hall and saw all the students. Then half-black, half-white bear (Monobear) - introduces himself as a principal, says everybody will live in the academy FOREVER. If, you become a murder you can leave this academy but don't be caught on it. Monobear also organises a trial where all the suddents must investigate the murder and say who was it. If they guess right- murderer is punished, if wrong - all of them are punished except the murderer.
