The reason I picked Lies in April up was because of this AMV:

Jormungand 10/10

 

Ended up rewatching it for the 8th time. Still perf, Koko is still the best.

I finished that Fate Stay Night UBW the series off crunchyroll. Not as good as Fate Zero, with the edgy noir feel. 

 

I was bothered by the ending though. SPOILERS AHEAD Didn't Rin just said she would stay with the male MC by his side or something? Then why is he all alone journeying through the desert. That's rather ominous for Rin. Did she die and the MC blames himself and goes on an exile? Or is her trying to "help" him actually what made him regret his decision. Maybe the MC had to kill Rin. Yeah... I'd do that sequel.

RWBY 9/10

Seasons 1-3

 

Actually finished it last week but never rated it. Honestly, it was far better than I thought it would be. It was funny, had great fight scenes, good voicing and best of all, the soundtracks for it were perfect. The lyrics were good and sung good. The initial episodes were short but still good, then each episode started getting longer in the later season. I can't wait for Season 4, I hope it wont be delayed for too much longer. Though, I'll enjoy RWBY chibi in the mean time. : D

Durarara!!: 9/10

• Completed (25 episodes)
• Action, Comedy, Drama, Mystery, Romance, School Life, Shounen, Supernatural  

To be honest, the OP theme was the only thing in this anime that kept me going for the first three episodes. But I eventually came to like it once I discovered the interesting characters through their backstories. BUUUT I only realized how badass this anime was 10 episodes in. That was when I got the goosebumps and all. I just love how the plot interwove the lives of all the characters. It's almost insane. Thus, the 9/10 rating.

 

For those into: gangs, crimes, urban legends, secret identities

Seraph of the End season 1&2: 9/10

• Completed (24 episodes)
• Action, Drama, Mystery, Shounen, Supernatural

First off, I love the art (kudos to the production studio). This anime got a good plot with some really riveting characters. Season 1 has so much angst and although season 2 showed a lot of character development, it keeps you second-guessing who's teaming up with who and who really are the bad guys. It's a given I like season 2 better because it kept me at the edge of my seat more. God I badly need the season 3 this anime devoured me. However, still not a perfect rating because no mind-blowing moment for me.

 

For those into: post-apocalyptic, vampire vs. human vs. demon, strong friendship bond or familial love

 

 

Noragami season 1: 8/10

• Completed (12 episodes)
• Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Romance, Shounen, Supernatural

The MC is a goofy self-proclaimed god but still an OP god who has a dark past and has trouble directly voicing out his feelings. Who wouldn't be charmed by this idiot? I instantly liked him and his (subtle) love interest, a wealthy wrestling enthusiast girl, right from the get-go. I like the side characters and fight scene BGM, too. I guess I was just disappointed with the plot, since I think there could be more to this anime than just digging up problems from the past and fighting boring antagonists.

 

For those into: gods, spirits, spirit weapons, master-servant relationship

Genshiken Nidaime 9/10

 

Since i'm a fan of Slice of Life and Comedy genre i really enjoyed the show.

Aoharu x Kikanjuu: 9/10

• Completed (12 episodes)
• Action, Comedy, Gender Bender, Romance, Shounen
   

Newbie yet badass female lead. Emotionally wrecked sparkling team captain. Perverted thirdwheel friend. Two-faced doctor with sadistic tendencies. Kind masochistic 6'2" guy with a horrible smile. Good character designs, voice acting, and animation. Mediocre OST, OP and ED themes. To cut this short, interesting characters and engrossing plot about a unique adrenaline-rushing sport with a hilarious gender bender spice (I know my descriptions suck).

 

For those into: strong heroine, survival games, action over romance, team sports, bloodlust, guns and ammo

 

*off to continue the series in the manga*

[I-Am-X]

I've actually finished it when it aired but since it was the last anime I 'finished' (since everything else is still on-going).

 

Arslan Senki S2 10/10

 

It was extremely short (only 8 episodes but prob had little content to adapt since I dont think the manga they're adapting it from has many volumes/chapters for more) but, like the first season, was really good. Loved the plot and loved the characters, the music selection was great as usual. With Kalafina doing another theme along with Aoi Eir. Mhmm!

Gangsta.: 9/10

• Completed (12 episodes)
• Action, Mature, Seinen

The main thing that I absolutely love in this anime is the MC. Although he's so OP, he's full of flaws too. But those didn't make him less admirable. Next is the OST holy potatoes(!!) it's so good. Nothing beats a snappy background music for an action-packed scene. Not to mention the OP theme. The rest of the characters are amazing as well and plus points for their character designs. It's not everyday you see an anime with characters who actually change clothes and almost look like real men. The dark world of mafia never fails to engross me so no wonder the unique setting and the ever unpredictable plot always make me crave for the next episode. Too bad the anime ended right before the big mafia fight. This would be a 10/10 if it wasn't for the worse-than-a-cliffhanger ending (apparently the studio went bankrupt -sobs-)

 

For those into: mafia, gangs, crimes, drugs, bloodbath, antihero, master-servant relationship

Alderamin On The Sky 9/10

 

This one was far better than I thought it was when I first heard about it. I put it off thinking nothing of it before picking it up mid-season and regretted not watching it sooner. It was truly good, in my opinion at least, the characters especially. I really loved the main character Ikta, love smart MCs and especially with how lazy he is mixed in with some perversion. The female lead, Yatori, was also a good one. I really do wish there'll be a 2nd season in the future.

 

Re: Zero 10/10

 

A lot of people have talked a lot of crap about it but I personally liked it. The main character Subaru was totally relatable. A lot have said what a whiny bitch he was at times but seriously, try going through all the shit he had on top of the pain of dying over and over again along with watching friends constantly dying, only to 'Restart from zero' to do it again trying to change it and see if you'll be saying the same damn things. That shit will definitely screw with your mind, his reactions and such were totally natural. I believe the anime was well done, and is definitely one of my favorites. I pray there'll be a season 2 in the future. Probably wont be but one can hope.

Ange Vierge - 2/10, garbage aka nonsense Ecchi *feast*, hurt my brain or what is left of it, hardly entertaining/enjoyable [plz kill me for watching it, wtf man]*

 

Absolute Duo - 4/10, average garbage, somewhat entertaining at best (standard Shounen harem crap with Ecchi - so T&A, tropes and cliches, nonsensical power ups and herp *enemies* etc.)

 

Amagi Brilliant Park - 6/10, entertaining but nothing special.

New Game! 9/10

 

Loved the manga and definitely loved the anime, it adapted everything perfectly. Aoba and co. are adorable as always. I was quite pleased with the job they did on it, you rarely get an anime that stays true to the original work and does it well. 0/

Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis - not bad, let's give it a hasty 7.5+/10, feels a bit like Pirates of the Caribbean

 

@I-Am-X: Finally watched it thanks to your set.

Seikoku no Dragonar - garbage, not even the softcore tentacle moments were any good - shit/10

Oh what the heck why did I even watch it...

Element Hunters.

Picked it up way back when it first started airing (so 2009 I guess), for whatever reason, saw three episodes of it and then put it on the eternal "On-Hold" list, until recently when I decided to pick it back up just to knock another series off my list of unfinished shows.

The objective of the series goes a little all over the place, but it's mainly a Saturday morning-type Shounen series about three kiddos (the spunky MC, the sidekick genki girl and the bookworm) who travel to another plane called "Nega Earth" to retrieve chemical elements that are being absorbed from their regular world, by battling monsters and teaching you about the Periodic Table. Yay learning!

It's not a terrible series, but it's not really great, either. The writing and research is done pretty well, but the goal of the series is kinda fuzzy, and it also takes quite some time for it to become even somewhat interesting. A lot of the characters are also pretty damn obnoxious, both behavior-wise and voice-acting-wise (I wanted to tear the MC's windpipe out his throat whenever he was calling the names of his sidekicks), which makes it difficult to really identify with anyone. The most interesting developments were not in the monster battling or general objective, but with how the main characters and their families interacted and developed through each other. Also, the ending was fine. Maybe I just thought so for the fact that it finally ended, though. >_> Not really recommended unless you belong to a younger-teens audience, or if you just have a thing for those kinds of series.

Score: 5/10

Hundred 4/10

 

After sitting on the last 2 episodes for forever, I finally decided to watch'em and im glad im finally done with this series because it was crap. I should of quit much sooner but eh. Typical highschool harem crap with a pushover MC who lets the girls walk all over him and not to mention the cliche brocon little sister.

>Hundred 4/10

Oh doge I watched it too the time it aired. Please kill me! Yep, it was garbage, probably 3/10 or worse.

Working: Lord of the Takanashi

====== Absolutely loved the original working and the culmination was fantastic, seeing Mahiru and Sota get together was awesome.

 

Oshiete! Galko-Chan

====== Much better than I expected

9/10

 

It's been a while since I found an anime I really enjoyed. I finished both seasons 1 and 2 in 3 consecutive days. The humour, the heart-wrenching moments, the important lessons taught, and the uniqueness of the plot made it very much enjoyable.
