Tokyo Ghoul - Review

Genre: Action / Drama / Horror / Supernatural
No. of episodes: 12
My Rate: 8.5/10

Cannibalism. That's one word that can describe this anime. I actually enjoyed watching as it hit me right in the feels. It's not like all Ghouls like to eat people! All they wish for is to have a normal life and be accepted into the society, however all 'normal' people are against ghouls, that's why they have to hide and wear masks. The opening breaks my heart as it seem like the person singing is in pain especially at the beginning. Perfect Choice of Song!! In addition they can't enjoy food and can only survive while eating human flesh. Let's move to the graphics - beautful and amazing, however why did they censored everything?? Sometimes you don't actually see what's happening 'cause whole screen is black!!

Plot:
Kaneki Ken is a normal college student who has a great passion towards books. One day, in a coffee shop called Anteiku he meets beautiful, purpled haired women - Rize. Kaneki wents on the date with her and realises that he shares the same interest as her. At the end of the day, when they walked back home, she attacks him. Powerless Kaneki, realises that she's a ghoul - a human-like person who lives by eating human flesh. Suprisely, Kaneki survives event though he nearly got eaten and was crushed by falling platform along with Rize. Kaneki survived as Rize's organs were transplanted to him. Unfortunately, he became a one-eye ghoul, unable to control himself. Kaneki doesn't want to be a ghoul and eat people but how can he survive?

Gokukoku no Brynhildr - Review

Genre: Drama / Horror / S-F / Detective
No. of episodes: 13
My Rate: 7/10

Witches with superpowers and aliens........a wierd mash-up with horror and s-f elements, along with some ecchi humour. The whole plot is amazing and unique which are truely amazing! Music and graphic on high level and with quite good characters. Honestly, the mystery behind the orgin of the withes and the problems that occured were extremely engaging. The plot was pulling me in to the anime however step by step the story line got worse. The authors weren't concentrating on the main objective and instead worked more on daily life of the characters, ecchi humour, and drama about "where to get the pills" and the serious stuff were all sqeezed in two last episodes. Therefore my rate got down on this anime....

Plot:
Murakami Ryoko had a childhood friend called Kuroneko, which he was deeply in love. They loved watching the sky at night using the telescope and Kuroneko always repeated that she saw an 'alien' once. However Ryota couldn't believe, so to prove it, she took him where she saw the alien. Unfortunately they fall from the cliff and only Ryota stayed alive. Years have past and Ryota keep watching the stars along with thinking about his first love and dreaming that she could be alive. Then one day, to his school a new girl transfered which looked excatly like his childhood friend yet under other name- Kurohaneko. When approching her (very loudly btw), she repeated multiple times that she doesn't know him and that he must have mistaken her with someone completely different. Afterwards she comes to Ryota's astronomy club, warning him  not to miss the bus or he will die. From curiosity, he misses the bus and walks home however he was nearly squashed by a large puddle of rock and mud yet saved by Kurohaneko who have supernatural powers and calls herself a witch.

Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai (AnoHana) - Review

Genre: Drama / Slice of Life / Tragedy
No. of Episodes: 11
My rate: 10/10

We all remember our childhood memories and we all probably want to go back to that times. Well, the anime concentrates on the tragedy that happen between a group of children who played togather. Very original story, full of sadness which will make you cry. Yeah, I cried a lot while watching, but the feelings to the characters grew stronger and stronger and I felt like I'm one of these friends who lost a precious friend. It's simply too emotional as it's not only concentrating on the loss of friend, but also parent's feelings, bullying, loneliness and love problems.

Plot:
The story is centered round a group of six children who always played togather and were members of 'Super Peace Busters'. They had a small self made house in the forest. One day one of the children - Menma died in an accident. After this the group got separted and stopped conacting each other wahtsoever. One day the leader of the group; Jintan mets the gost of Menma however he's just telling himself that it's just hallucinations caused by stress as he hasn't passed his exams and doesn't attend school. Menma forgoted everything however she feels that she just wants her friends to fullfil her wish so she can go to heaven.

Elfen Lied - Review

Genre: Action / Drama / Horror / Romance / Physchological Thriller
No. of episodes: 13
My Rate: 9/10

The opening from the beginning makes me feel nostalagic and sad - I don't know why. I was expecting just an anime that concentrates on blood and loose body parts as I experienced lots of disappointment when watching anime with my high expectations. Yet, the plot is truly amazing! I watched all episodes in one go with tears in my eyes. Maybe there's a bit of nudity and boobs (which I'm not a fan of) from time to time but I don't mind! However if you can't stand flying body parts or don't like nudity I will recommend you to think before watching.

Plot:
Story begins when pink-haired girl with horns called Lucy (subject of experiments) escapes from a laboratory situated beside the seacoast of Kamakura. She escaped by killing all the guards and other people who stand in her way using her suprnatural powers, additional yet invisible hands. When escaping her head was hurt as a result of sniper bullet. She is later found on the beach by two students Yuka and Kouta. HoweverLucy got amnesia and became a sweet little girl insted of a sadistic monster. She can only say one word - "Nyu". Students toke her home, yet the members of the laboratory are trying to get her - alive or not! Later is found that Lucy is a 'Diclonius', a human but with little horns on the head, but is able to control 'vectors' - arms that come from the back that can became powerful weaapons.

Sukitte Ii na yo (Say 'I love you') - Review

Genre: Romance / Slice of Life / Drama
No. of episodes: 13
My rate: 9/10

Life is difficult no matter what. This anime concentrates on nearly all life problems that teenagers and even younger childern and adults have. Love, friendship, popularity and appearance problems. This light, nicely designed anime, is a great representation of people who needed to handle with these pitful problems. Characters are really good but some of the times I got anoyed 'cause of their behaviour, however that's how we really behave. That's why I really liked this anime as it's TRUE concept of how we feel in daily life.

Plot:
It concentrates on a quiet, lonely girl Tachigana Mei, who doesn't have any friends at all. She prefers being by herself as it will protect her from being hurt by 'friends' She doesn't belive that people aren't fake as a result of her past experiences. However she accidentally kicks the most popular boy in the school who is adored by lots of female students - Kurosawa Yamato. He then started to have interest on her and tries to be friend with Mei. Despite of this Mei doesn't know how to have a person to hang out with or to talk to therefore she slowely opens heart to other people.

Pupa - Review

Genre: Horror / Drama
No. of Episodes: 12
My rate: 2/10

How is possible to destroy good idea? Well authors of this anime just did it very easily. Personally, as a horror fan, I think that this is the most horrible and worst anime ever........ever........ever -.-. Idea was certainly unique and interesting but I DON'T see that they put any effort to send the message to the audience or just engage! Two points I just gived for the idea, that's it I will NEVER recommend this anime. No atmosphere, short (4 min per ep), censored, no proper ending at all, storyline messed up, no proper opening adn the drawing style......I saw better ones. Yeah, full episode of a girl eating her brother, sooooo entertaining >.<

Plot:
Yume and Utsutsu Hasegawa are sibling who attend Highschool probably in Tokyo/Japan. Siblings are physically abused by their father constantly however mostly Utsutsu as he protects his younger sister at all times. One day Yume was going home from school  all by herself. She was stopped by a weird, black-dressed woman who warns Yume who later sees a red butterflies and transfers to a monster. She then feeds herself with her brothers as she can't stop her desire of eating humans.

No. of Episodes: 12
My rate: 4.5/10

Well.......that was suprising. A boy who just have very high requirements about girls and still don't know how to treat them. That is not very good sign. If you are looking for a good anime, well it's the wrong shelf you're looking on. Try different anime as this anime is messed up totally D:

Plot:
Makoto Ito is a first year student who started to have a crush on "urban legand" Kaisura Kotonoha, beautiful, Innocent and quiet girl who is loved by boys and harassed by girls which makes her friendless. Sekai Saionji in the second term started to sit beside Makoto, make a good frienship with him and saw that he likes Kaisura. As a friend she helped him to get closer to his crush but Kaisura is too shy which make him difficult to get close to her. They started dating but Makoto wants something more than hugging and kissing but it's difficult for him to approach. He later tells Sekai the words that started all mess in this anime: "Sekai, having Kotonoha as a girlfriend is kind of..........boring"

Two students living normally, and then suddenly they found themselves in dark and full of cruelty world. But not for long. While thay are in the other world they are surrounded by bizarre, cruel creatures. Very interesting and good anime :))
Satsuki Kakeru and his childhood friend Minase Yuka were drawn into the other world, as they would call 'Red Night'. They are in this world not for very long, but there is a lot of disgusting and strange creatures that are trying to kill them. They're not the only victims, there are few more people. The 'Black Knights' are one of the creatures in the other world and are calling these people like Yuka and Kakeru ''fragments'' and trying to destroy them. Also they protect a mysterious and very beautiful girl trapped in the crystal. Kakeru and his friends that have been in 'Red Night' have joined together and try to survive and stop this horror.

Black★Rock Shooter - Review

Genre: Science Fantasy / Drama / Action  
No. of episodes: 8 episodes
My rate: 7/10

Short anime about friendship and pain within the heart. Do you think that is just a short anime about hishschool girls problems? No. The story takes in a normal world and in a completely different universe! Some people don't understand this anime but I understand it like this:

Anime is about a friendships and how the girls can get hurt by their friends. Two secondary school girls Mato Kuroi and Yuu Kotari are best friends. Mato wants to make a new friendship with other girl that's called Yomi Takanashi. She gets very jealeous about the friendship that Mato and Yuu has.
There is also an alternative world in which the main characters have their other  character, which are fighting with each other brutally. But in the real world they are friends.

I liked this anime as I personally experienced problems with friendship.
