Summary: Sawamura Seiji is the 'mad dog' Sawamura, the feared delinquent with a very strong 'devil's right hand. The only problem with him is that he can't find a girl-friend. Frustrated he comes back to his empty home still thinking about the fact that there is no point in being strong if he is feared by girls too. He shouts out that any-one would do and suddenly his right hand changes into a girl named Midori [Note that the kanji is different] who had a crush over him and the story begins.

Story 8/10: The story is viewed from Midori and Seiji's point of vision. The troubles they had to go through because of the right hand ordeal and through those troubles they come to understand each other more closely and gets to know the other part of each character. It is a high school love story, the ones you see in shounen types.
A word about the manga: The original manga has more characters and a more vibrant plot build up, but the animation adaption is as good if you may suspect. Still if you would like read the manga.

Animation 8/10: Not bad animation. Comes from studio pierrot, same studio in charge for bleach animation production.

Sound 9/10: The opening is your usual one but the ending is very nice with the song [mou sukoshi...mou sukoshi] by Atsumi Saori, same artist who's song is used as the ending for Shinryaku Ika Musume. The most interesting part of the BGM is when Seiji goes out with Ayase on a make out date. The movie section is a laughing incident.

Character 8/10: Regular character and lots of side characters which make this animation filled with laughter and tense moments.

Enjoyment 10/10: Brilliant. There are some parts where you might want to see again, others make you laugh and a light character development, perfect 13 series animation. Short but sharp.

Encode 10/10: Great stuff here by d3v4st4t3.

Summary: After a fatal accident in 2022, concerning a science experiment for the hyperspace gateway, the moon is destroyed and a belt of asteroids surrounded the Earth and threatened the surface of Earth with heavy meteorite bombardments that decimated a large portion of the population. As a result, many survivors abandoned the barely-habitable Earth to colonize the inner planets, the asteroid belt and the moons of Jupiter.
The plot takes place in 2071 when traveling between planets have been made easier through the use of hyperspace gates. Mars becomes the new center for the new era, and interplanetary crime syndicates exert influence well into the government and the Inter-Solar System Police (ISSP). With a corrupt system running and the ISSP having 'lost it's fangs' bounty hunting system with relevance to the old west reoccurs. Main characters Spike, Jet, Faye and Ed are on-board the ship 'bebop' and are out there looking for bounties.

Story 10/10: Cowboy Bebop revolves around a crew of bounty hunters living in the spaceship named Bebop. Jet Black is the owner of the Bebop, but has tagged up with Spike Spiegel for his combat skills. During its travels, the Bebop gained new crew members such as Ein, Faye, and Edward. Cowboy Bebop mainly deals with the main character's past and present and gradually develops them over time. With Spike's past as a member of the Red dragon crime syndicate, Jet as an ISSP officer, Ed's childhood and Faye's mysterious past are the elements of the story in whole. But don't think it passes out a chance to have a decent fun, and is all gloomy. It is one of the most lively animations you will see out there with it's unique style it beats a lot of Hollywood movie and Japanese animation with effortless ease. 'Sessions' like Mushroom Samba is a must watch.

Animation 9/10: You have to give consideration for the animation section because Bebop is a 1998 animation series. Considering the year it was good for that age. Though details are given wheres possible making it pretty nice.

Sound 10/10: The best part of Cowboy Bebop is it's sound, BGM and theme songs. With BGM unique to every 'Sessions' {note that instead of episode #1,#2...etc Bebop is dubbed with sessions as to point out 'Jamming Sessions'}. Themes for each sessions are as told unique and refers to some music genre. Even the names of the sessions are musical. Like The second session 'Nora inu no sutoratto' or 'Stray dog strut' comes from the name of the band 'Stray Cats'. It is one musical experience taking you to different genre in each session. Unique and enjoyable.

Character 10/10: Each character has their special traits and laughter points. Also the fact that this animation deals with character development at a depth gives the insight to the plot and back story makes it a full animation with little or no flaws.

Enjoyment 10/10: Action, drama, Jokes and laughs; with hard action when needed, you can say that this animation may be old but not out of the first class animation bench, easily making a place among the new animations when it comes to enjoyment.

Encode 10/10: Good encode. Reasonable file size.

Summary: The Eastern Tokyo United is labeled as a weak football team, having no notable success in quite a while. With the team falling apart and in need of immediate success former ETU {Eastern Tokyo United} player, now a coach in England, 35 year old Takeshi Tatsumi is hired to get the football club out of its' despair. At this a lot of old players are not satisfied, because they think that ETU got to it's current state of weakness because Tatsumi abandoned ETU to chase his own goals. Tatsumi on the other hand is a cool and calm character with mischievous line of thought and brilliant on-field football strategist, believes that the players should find their own rhythm and enjoy the game while understanding each other. Only then will ETU see victory with the same players who couldn't bring a win for the team before.

Story 8/10 : The story is nicely told, seen from the point of many players who had a hard time on the field. As the matches roll on many players come to realize their potentials while others, their mistakes. Players internal decisions are in many ways effected by personal encounter with the coach Takeshi. Few find themselves anew, other players keep searching for an answer of what is expected of them. On the whole the story doesn't goes on without any jokes or laughs. I watched it and it was pretty engaging up till the very end.

Animation 8/10: The animation varies. There is a different animation for the crowd and while the players are on field. Sometimes the details of player movement is pretty fluent and on other times it is normal.

Sound 9/10: Sound given for surroundings and while on play are very nice. The chanting of the crowds is also fairly detailed. I liked the theme sounds used for different situations. The opening theme by THE CHERRY COKES and the ending theme song by G.P.S is also very energetic.

Character 8/10: With key characters from the football team realizing their place, play and potentials, there is a very nice character development going on. Apart from that, the play is also analyzed by a number of new and old fans who keep reappearing throughout the episodes. There are football journalists and photographers as well who leave a mark on the situation of each game.

Enjoyment 8/10: Very nice, gripping and energetic. Keeps the viewer on edge throughout most of the series. Recommended watch.

Encode 10/10: Nice work from the encoder team, to have brought the anime to 50-60 MB size.

Arakawa under the bridge (Arakawa Hashi no Shita) is a funny love story, and like it says it's location is under the bridge. With weird characters that you might not find elsewhere.

Arakawa portraits Ichinomia Kou, the scion of Ichinomia company which is one of the superpowers of the business world. Kou is proud that he is able to hold his family tradition of not being reliant on anyone. As his family tradition he wears a tie which has the line printed 'To never rely on anyone' given to the first son of Ichinomia family. He describes all this while standing on a bridge and says he will rely on no one, even though his trousers were hanging from a pillar of the bridge. He tries to get them before someone sees him in his boxers when a young girl fishing sitting on the edge of the bridge, with long blond hair says ''Isn't your butt cold?''. He says he's alright with it and starts to climb the pillar to get his trousers. He gets his trousers but suddenly the pillar gives away, plunging into the water with Kou under it. He tries to move away but unable to do so, he wishes for help when a hand reaches out and saves him. Later he finds out that the blond girl, named Ni-no-san, saved him and asked her how he can return the favor. She asks him to be her lover and to stay with her under the bridge. And this is how the story starts.

Overall the story focuses on Riku, Ni-no-san, and other unique characters who live under the bridge as well. With funny developments and weird humor this anime is sure to make you laugh. It also has nicely balanced development of the relationship of Riku and Nino, but the main laugh are the weird characters who are very unique, like Nino san who thinks of herself as a Venusian, is the main source of the enjoyment material.
