    Kurokami starts out well in episode 1 giving you a sense of mystery and great hidden intent as the story unfolds, but as you go on it becomes an annoying struggle to watch episode after episode as the plot of the story is not well planned out, there is no feeling of suspense, the action scenes seem to get repetitive and the characters are just far too confused for life. I am currently on episode 7 and only reason i am still watching is so that i can give an accurate review but so far this is what i have to say

    Story: The only thing i like about the storyline so far is that you feel there is a greater secret yet to be revealed that is supposed to knock my socks off but other than that, the story feels predictable, there are no scenes that leave you awestruck, the plot doesn't seem well organized and the occurrences just seem random. Like the writer threw in random scenes to reach the 21 episodes. Personally i do not enjoy it.

    Animation: I like the animation in this anime. The fight scenes are where you see where each punch lands and you can feel the coordination between the attacks. So animation is good.

    Sound: The sound quality is good, background music nothing memorable but still helps bring out the mood of the scene better.

    Characters: The main characters are supposed to help you feel the story, fir the top three "good guy" characters being Keita, Kuro and Akane i have this to say, I HATE ALL THREE.
    Keita is too indecisive for anyone to really like him. He constantly gets into troublesome situations with Kuro, but he takes 5 whole minutes or more to realize that they are actually in danger and he needs to help her or they are screwed, he has emotional mood swings, can't decide whether to be off use or not and acts rather like an immature annoying kid. And who likes a dude who has less guts than a chick and can't even support her despite the fact that she saved your life? If that is what the writer was going for he nailed it on the head.
    Kuro lacks a lot of common sense and though this is supposed to be comedic it comes off as annoying. She is well too submissive to Keita, She takes all the crap he says silently and just apologizes after. The only trait of hers that i enjoy at times is her joy, she is one of those people who just walk round with a smile, a cheerful spirit if i may.
    Akane is just too passive to things, she never seems to get what situation she is in, trusts everyone so easily. She doesn't play a major role, at least not yet. Not much on her but something about her is just not likeable.

    Enjoyment: As i said i find almost no enjoyment from watching this anime, i just watch it to finish it. And that in itself is a struggle.

    Encode: Lovely encode respect to Zurggie and MisterH good work very clear.

    Conclusion: Can't make one yet but so far..... not worth your time.

    Ao no exorcist is an entertaining anime for the average anime watcher who enjoys a quick and easy to understand storyline but for those looking for an anime with depth this is not it. Ao no exorcist honestly looks like it was thought up in a few days and the writer doesn't try to push his imagination to the limit but rather aims for meeting the minimal audience demand. Despite this feeling of a half-assed work on it, Ao No Exorcist manages to keep you entertained with a good set of characters and interesting twists.

    Story: The story revolves around Rin Okumura, a son of satan who has sworn to kill Satan after Satan killed the man who had raised Rin most of his life, An exorcist. Thus Rin joins a school of exorcism to train to defeat Satan. Along the way he makes friends and overcomes several challenges and enemies. Thus in this aspect Ao No Exorcist really doesn't do anything new. At points it gets predictable but it is bearable. It has a few twists here and there that will keep you coming back for more but all in all, not great. Atleast for the 15 episodes i have watched so far, but it holds promise... that remains to be seen though.

    Animation: Animation here is one of the things i truly i enjoy about this anime, it is the explosive, over-the-top kind of animation with ground breaking attacks and exaggerated punches.But fights are rather short and quickly finished. In normal non-action situations the animation is still good. All considered its well done to my taste.

    Sound: Sound quality is good and clear not much to be said on this. The soundtrack is nothing special, it barely stands out in the anime, probably cause your too busy watching demons getting sliced up.

    Character: The characters in the anime compliment each other extremely well. From Suguro, the punk-looking yet serious with his studies to Shiemi, the one not too sure on what to do. The characters fit well together and bring out each other personalities well. Watch to find out how.

    Enjoyment: Its enjoyable yes but it won't leave you at the edge of your seat. As i said just meets your entertainment needs.

    Encode: Beautiful encode, it is clear and small. Very nice quality.

    I have wanted to review angel beats for a long time but at the same time i have dreaded it cause this is one messed up anime. First the review.

    Story: Angel beats as a whole has a very captivating storyline that keeps you intrigued throughout the anime but it has several flaws that are very easy to notice. I believe this is cause the anime was given such a short time to portray a very deep story. It does not explain many things and thus leaves us the viewers with many pending questions. But all in all i have to compliment Jun maeda on this anime which is very moving. A very touching tale with great twists.

    Animation: Really well done but you won't really care much for it as you'll be too absorbed into the storyline

    Sound: I think angel beats has had my favorite soundtrack that i would really love to get its original soundtrack. The music was a great achievement for angel beats

    Characters: They had a good character group that were very entertaining but they were not used to their fool capabilities. Not all characters stories were fully explained, some were totally ignored but they still were an amazing group

    Enjoyment: Good

    Encode: Good

    My thoughts: Angel beats is a very good anime but it fails exponentially in explaining the storyline well or at least to the point where you feel satisfied. I would love a longer remake of this anime so that it can fully get its point across so that i can finally have a single opinion on it but i still recommend it as a must watch anime.

    Arakawa under the bridge is an anime of an entirely new level, it can't really be fully explained by mere words, and you won't be able to fully understand ut until you watch it. Factually i don't think many people can enjoy it to its full potential, some may even view it is as utterly pointless but i thoroughly enjoyed. Here is the summary

    Story: Nice, wait no, AMAZING storyline, i really could never expect what was about to happen next so it meets my UNPREDICTABLE standards. Its twists were so unexpected and humorous at times. It also meets my MORAL standards, it is an anime that in the end has a very positive message that some may not clearly see but it really is well brought out. Comady wise, is not the best but it provides some very good scenes of comedy at some very unexpected times which at times will leave confused at whether you should laugh, or maybe that's just me. It is also very fast, and at you will have to rewind and pause at times to get some jokes.

    Animation: Good clear animating with very vivid images that are well displayed not much to say on that except well done.

    Sound: Perfect for this anime, just perfect. It suites the situations perfectly and always plays well with the mood of the anime.Whoever made the soundtrack made it perfectly for this anime and this anime alone.

    Characters: Few characters compared to other animes but this few characters are just perfect for the anime, they all play out their roles nicely and help to potray the story well. All characters except the main character are EXTREMELY weird each with their own unique attributes that all help each other to survive under the bridge. And i have to say Maria is extremely scary. hehe.

    Enjoyment: It is quite enjoyable but you can't keep watching episode after episode. It will take a heavy toll on you as each episode has alot going on, you need breaks inbetween.

    Encode: Didn't watch this encode but i have no reason to doubt minitheatre, so far they have not let me down.

    FAIRY TAIL, if you ask me a nice refreshing tale (or tail depending on your love for puns) to add to the anime world.

    Fairy tail is a very captivating story that takes the ordinary viewing of wizards and magic, (people with pointy hearts and extremely long beard boiling mixtures into a giant bowl), and turns it into an entire new world where magic is used everywhere and for all purposes, focusing on those who use magic to fulfill tasks.

    Story: I have great hopes for the storyline, fairy tail's arcs are shorter than most anime's we have come to love but due to this fairy tail has very intriguing episodes each pulling the viewer closer to the screen each second and leaving them wanting more at the end of the episode. Also as you watch natsu get, "FIRED UP" and watch him grow you constantly want to know, "For what purpose does the writer want natsu to get stronger, what is waiting up ahead for him?" With this you get dragged into the story even more to see what is its final goal. And adding the fact this is a world of magic makes it all the more awesome. This just gives way for so many things to possible, unimaginable powers and stories. These three factors put in, a fast anime, where anything is possible and one that shows an interesting finish, play extremely well for it as you watch the characters quickly grow towards their goal. But i won't give it ten cause at times it just feels predictable, i love it when i can't tell what will happen next and in that aspect it lets me down, but in term of captivating power I AM SO REVVED UP!!

    Animation: This is some of the best animation work i have ever seen. Yes i wil accept that i have seen better but this was really good considering all the magical powers, the magic rings, movement of the characters and so much more. I wish i could just shake the hand of the people who drew this. Job well done.

    Sound: This is well done, it suites the anime well and you fell the tense situations as well action and emotional ones but i think they could have done better. I won't argue that it is not good, i agree that it is well done, but i feel that they could have dragged me into the story more with a better soundtrack, not one of the best but sufficient for the anime.

    Characters: I LOVE FAIRY TAIL CHARACTERS and can you blame me? Anyone who has watched this anime and didn't enjoy the characters is by my thoughts lacking in taste. All characters of the Fairy tail guild all shoulder a burden from their pasts and all have suffered some pain but they all fight on to protect the friends and the joy they have found in each other. Some may be overexaggerated but i don't mind it, it's a world of magic anything is possible.

    Enjoyment: ULTIMATUM enjoyment, Fairy tail entails almost all the necessary items required for me to be entertained to the max, it has good comedy, awesome action scenes, an exciting storyline, out-of-this-world powers and overcoming your problems to achieve greater things. If you like these things, Fairy tail is the anime for you.

    Encode: Ok, sufficient.
