"12-sai." aka "Age 12" is the story of innocent Hanabi, a sixth-grade girl who is neither an adult nor a child. She deals with youth issues, physiological changes, her first love, and all the other adolescent topics you can think of. I was pleasantly surprised how mature the anime ended up being and enjoyed this coming of age seriesa lot.
The anime "Yubisaki to Renren" aka "A Sign of Affection" is well done and sligtly more mature slife of life romance story about hearing-impaired university student Yuki Itose and her love interest Itsuomi Nagi, a multilingual travel enthusiast who takes an interest in Yuki and wants to explore her world.
This anime gave me a headache as well "blue balls" (though I'm female). A love story that revolves around high schoolers that are constantly horny for each other, but can't seem to just say "I love you". In this case, even their school is forcing the students to be married for some psycho reason, and our main protagonist still acts like a fool every second he gets a chance.
I'm not exaggerating when I say, this show grossed me out from the 1st to 13th episode. So why am I giving this anime a 7 out of 10? Because the mangaka did an amazing job creating realistic characters and an engaging story.
Clannad and Clannad: After Story are pretty popular shows, so I thought I should check it out. But it only took a few episodes to make me hate this series. Biggest weakness – the characters (a shame, because the story had potential) if you have somebody like Nagisa Furukawa, who is one of my least likable main character of all time, then it's just painful to watch this show.
After I read the reviews for this classic anime (effectively agreeing, what crap this show was), I couldn't resist watching this myself, and I'm so glad I did.
First of all let me say, if you don't want your eyes and ears to bleed while watching this, I'd suggest you to stop taking 'Mitsu x Mitsu Drops' serious (although the show takes itself quite serious). The best thing would be to turn off the function of your brain that's asking, BUT WHY...? I watched this thinking of it as a comedy show and that way I was having a blast! There were so many unreasonable dramatic scenes that became unintentionally funny, because of the outrageous ridiculousness... At some point I was thinking maybe, just maybe, there is a brilliant mastermind behind this, yes this must be a parody of some kind, but no, they're serious till the end!
Worst storyline ever? - Possibly. I'm not even going to put in the effort trying to explain what the f this show was about (because most of it doesn't make any sense whatsoever). It's all over the place with no goal, no introductions, no emotion. Forget the dialogs, forget about the sexual harassment, forget common sense damn it!
Were really all characters awful? Yes indeed (especially the main character, baka honey). Disgraceful portrayal of a woman. What about art? Although the characters were good looking, bad. I guess the manga has better visuals.
So why on earth did I enjoy this so damn much?!
It's simple, I love to laugh! Even if that wasn't what the writers wanted (I don't know what the hell they wanted). Of course a lot of people are totally annoyed by this nonsense (understandably), but to me... man I was really having a good time.
"Sousou no Frieren" is a breathtaking anime that delves into the profound themes of friendship, mortality, and the passage of tim...
