This anime doesn't really have an end: 'till the last episode you have the impression that the real story has
yet to begun, that all you've seen is just a long prologue. Waiting for a second season. TEITO KLEIN: "The truth is ever since I first met him, I was always in silent fear. Please, God... I beg of you... Please don't tell me that loving someone is also the same as losing them!" | ||

A very original plot, centered on the afterlife world. The main characters are all dead, guys who had a cruel life and
died without fulfilling their dreams, sent in a world where they learn to accept their memories and pass on. But there
are those who fights against God for the pitiless fates they had. That said, it may seem absurd that this is also a very
funny anime! I really laughed heartily! So much sadness mixed with a sincere humor with simplicity, that’s exactly
what struck me the most: it’s amazing how they managed to make a very sad story so funny without falling into the
ridiculous and so touching without being pathetic. Yet the reflections, thoughts, feelings coming at the end... can
shake the heart. A wonderful and deep story. The characters are all very nice and enjoyable, led by a very charismatic
leader: Yurippe (I loved that nickname!). Wonderful the opening with Tenshi playing the piano, lovely the ending (in
both images change depending on the episode) and all the band's songs are beautiful. Nice the preview of the
following episode with the voices that overlap, you can’t understand anything! The anime ends up leaving many
unanswered questions and many characters shrouded in mystery, yet I didn’t have at all the feeling of being left
suspended... There are only 13 episodes, but I don’t think more were needed, because there’s no need to add anything
else. YURI NAKAMURA: "I don’t really care if I become a water flea or whatever, all I want to do is fight God if he really does exist. It’s just too unreasonable, we hadn’t done anything wrong." | ||

Horror anime, with a very original plot and nice characters. Protagonist is the third class of the ninth year of
Yomiyama school, hit by a curse that kills the students because of the presence among them of a dead person. Despite
some minor flaws in the course of events, the story can keep you bond until the end, guessing who the dead person is,
who will die, what to do to break the curse. MEI MISAKI: "Death is not kind. It’s dark, black as far as you can see, and you’re all alone." | ||

Keiichiro Tachibana, son of a wealthy family, decided to open a small western-style bakery, aided by a talented pastry
chef and two eccentric waiters, with the aim of finding the man who kidnapped him when he was a child. The story
revolves around the events of the four characters, while dealing with customers and with their lives. Nice characters, nice story, but nothing special. I spent almost all the episodes drooling over those wonderful desserts! *.* KEISUKE TACHIBANA: "Dear God, Dear Buddha, Dear Genius Pastry Chef Ono… please let me succeed!" | ||

The story revolves around Rin, a boy who discovers he’s Satan’s son. He has great powers that could be used by his
evil father to get his hands on Assiah, the world in which the humans live. But Rin wants to become… an exorcist! I really liked the plot, but this anime is adapted from an ongoing manga, so, as often happens, the latest episodes are created from scratch in order to end the story and they do it rushing a bit. The characters are all very nice, Rin is adorable and Mephisto is so funny! I hope they will do another series, because many questions are left open. KONEKOMARU MIWA: "Will Okumura-kun be all right?" RYUJI SUGURO: "Of course! He’s so stupid he’d forget to die even if he got killed!" | ||

I don’t know what to say ... This is the anime that I've loved most of all in my childhood, it’s difficult to
give an objective opinion. Setting aside the sentimental value, I cannot avoid to consider the many flaws, starting with
the main character a little bit too frivolous, that cannot do anything alone but at the end of each series becomes the
savior of humanity, not to mention the inept monsters that follow one another incessantly every episode, who all die in
the same way. Situations are boringly repetitive. The first series are much more complete: in addition to the adventures
of the five protagonists who fight evil, they focus attention on their friendships, school life and things that soon
disappear supplanted by the world's problems. MICHIRU KAIOH: "I'd risk the world for her, because a world without her isn't worth saving." | ||

I don't like anything of this anime, I think it's not my genre at all. It's totally nonsense and full of

I saw it when I was a child and even then I considered it stupid. I understand that anime are works of fantasy, but if
they mean to talk about real things they must maintain at least a minimum of verisimilitude. It's ridiculous to see
children of 10 years playing in stadiums worthy of the Champions League filled to the brim, school matches broadcasted
on TV, 240 episodes dedicated ONLY to a ball. People's life doesn't revolve around a ball! I understand we are
talking about football, but the life of a child is not just that! The miss of all sports anime is that they don't
talk about anything but sport, and it's boring. And anyway, I don't think that football includes circus
tricks, gyrations in the air and leaps of 20 meters, bright fireballs that before arriving in goal make a rush around
the world, balloons that pierce the net, fractures and various diseases in spite of which people plays at the risk of
the health, soccer fields one thousand miles long that seem to never end and countless of such nonsenses. I'm
speechless. TSUBASA OZORA: "The ball is my best friend!" | ||

Episodic anime are a bit tiring, but I liked very much the idea of this one: powerful cards that create havoc in the
city are to be caught by the girl who released them, helped by a cute speaking peluche! It's a bit childish,
'cause the characters are children for the most, but is very enjoyable. I didn't like the second series as the
first one. SAKURA KINOMOTO: "You really loved Mr. Clow, didn’t you? It hurts, doesn’t it? It hurts to lose someone you love.." | ||

Episodic anime, dealing with a duo of private detectives and bodyguards, Kaori and Ryo Saeba, a famous but perverted
marksman that only accepts to help beautiful girls. Every episode is similar to the others, with a case to solve,
involving of course a girl, and Ryo that tries to harass her but always fails in his attempt, mashed by the giant hammer
of his partner. I found boring to watch it until the end. RYO SAEBA: "Would you stop calling me “perverted”? I’m what you call “nookie dependant”." | ||

One of the first anime of my childhood. Nice for its time. The protagonist is a girl who can magically transform herself
into a beautiful woman who becomes a famous singer. All the characters are very pleasant and everyone behaves
consistently: childs act like childs, the stars are jealous of others' fame and everyone loves Creamy, of course.
The songs are very nice, most of the episodes is an end in itself but there's a story, and even the end is coherent
with the sequence of events, with no loophole. PINO PINO: Thank you! You helped us a great deal. You showed us the way. There has been a bad dream storm and I lost the way to Feather Star, but you helped us find it again. | ||

I immediately fell in love with it. I have a particular passion for nineteenth-century London, with its mysterious
atmosphere, the fog, the rain and the dark alleys, so I adored the setting. There's something that caught me in the
general atmosphere that emanates from the pages of the manga, I cannot explain it. The characters are just wonderful:
Allen is a great protagonist, the bad guys are misterious and charming and the guys of the scientific section are
adorably wacky. But Lavi is my favourite one! The manga is wonderful with its gothic atmosphere and is really well
drawn; the anime is quite good too, but is full of fillers, 'til the middle doesn't really follow the story
and ends all of a sudden. LAVI: "Your feelings are so strong, you’re almost dazzling. What are you carrying upon your shoulders together with that Clownish Innocence? It is as if, like the light, you’re going to fade away…" | ||

A poor work that failed in involving me much, although the idea was interesting: what would happen if vampires decide to
come out of hiding and live among men? First, I don't like the heroine Mina, that despite the temper doesn't
manage in being incisive, then the story has some unclear points, other foreseen, sometimes seems forced. Apart from
Mina the other characters are not well characterized, including Akira, one of the main. MINA TEPES: "I control every corner of the dark night and even death avoids crossing my path… all for what? What I wanted was something much… much more simple." | ||

An anime about books and a very special girl named Dalian, who is actually a living gateway to the Mystic Archives of
Dantalian, a library that preserves all of the world's forbidden knowledge. The girl is accompanied by lord Huey
Disward, the key holder of the library, whose task is to help Dalian sealing the phantom books they found while solving
strange mysteries. I found the idea attractive and I liked the relationship there is between Huey and Dalian. She is a
great character, inspite of the plot flaws. I didn't found the thread of a story, every episode is independent and
doesn't let anything out about a deeper story to be revealed. Maybe something will be clearer in the next series,
'cause it's not over. The last episode was a bolt from the blue, the situation took a strange turn suddenly,
without warning. Anyway, a nice anime, except for the opening and the ending: I found them horrible. HUGH ANTHONY DISWARD: "The creeping darkness answered: “No one has seen the future”" | ||

Beautiful openings and music, nice characters, interesting plot surrounded by mistery. The idea of a remuneration to be
paid in order to use super powers is very original and all the background of the story is completely new. The second
season was unnecessary, according to me, I don't like the turn the story takes. They could have shown more clearly

Hypnotic and upsetting, different from everything else. It starts like a masterpiece, but after .... death it became a
little ripetitive. Even so, it's unique and Raito and L are great characters, their brilliant moves are always
unexpected and unpredictable. One of the strong point in the anime is that it never leaves doubts, everything is
perfectly explained. For once the main character is an anti-hero and it's so weird not knowing whether to root for
the "good guys" or the "bad guys"!! MISA AMANE: "I can't even imagine a world without Light..." L: "Yes, it would be quite dark" | ||

The beginning of the story is quite enjoyable. The plot is well articulated and many things prevent it from being
boring. We not only have battle, but also friendship, trainings, funny moments, and many interesting secondary
characters. Dragon Ball Z is focused above all on battles. I really hate the fact that people revive so easily, that every battle lasts for weeks, that the enemies follow each other as in a climax, from the weakest to the strongest and they always target our Earth. This series always follows the same repetitive scheme, and the characters - Goku above all - seem to have no feelings: they only think about training and fighting, they only live for this. Also the fact that the dragon balls can grant any wish diminishes every event: why do you have to be sad about someone's death or the Earth exploding into a thousand pieces? In the end it comes down to nothing, everything returns to normality in two seconds and nothing changes. I didn't like the third season at all: a useless addition. VEGETA: "Goku! I’d rather die than fuse with you!" GOKU: "But, Vegeta… we’re already dead!"

An unexpected surprise that captured me from the beginning. Great concept and story line, even if the plot isn't
completely clear in some points. I liked the idea of a crazy game that involves few chosen people that can make Japan a

really LOVED the opening with the wonderful "Falling Down" by Oasis. OPENING THEME TEXT: "Let me walk with you when I'm lost in the wild. I know you always lead me to another Eden.

soldier, who is to attend a normal school to defend a girl, Chidori, from the aims of an evil organization. Accustomed
to the battlefields, Sosuke sees in every banal situation of everyday life dangers and conspiracies that don't

Great paranormal anime, sometimes really frightening, but without using violence. The main characters are Kazuya
Shibuya, a ghost hunter who uses the most modern technologies to solve problems related to spirits, and Mai, a girl who
acts as his assistant; other characters revolve around them, forming a very good team. There isn't a main story in
the anime: it's composed by eight stories, lasting 3-4 episodes each one, unrelated to each other, that test the
abilities of the characters in many different situations. The stories are well designed and have different solutions.
The atmosphere is very convincing, the tension can be touched, even the music is perfect and contributes in creating the
right mood. MAI TANIYAMA: "What the hell is pride worth if you have somebody else protect it for you, anyway?" | ||

Mystery, with a bizarre protagonist and a plot that is a bit pretentious, where some good stories get lost, wasted in
unnecessary frills, with characters not interesting at all. It gets particularly on my nerves Kujo that goes around the
whole academy screaming “Victorika!” (because that is how the french Victorique is read, apparently) at least ten
times in each episode. And, of course, Victorique is strange, as the duty of every self-respecting hero. Even the
setting is not that good: the academy is very cold and all the buildings are excessively large and isolated in the midst
of huge empty meadows. I was not particularly impressed with the musics, and in general, saving some parts of the plot
quite interesting, everything is pretty mediocre. VICTORIQUE DE BLOIS: “If you’re a gentleman, maybe I’m a goddess.” | ||

The bad copy of Code Geass. So copied that the comparison cannot be avoided, so bad that the comparison is immensely
humiliating. The few original things of the story and the few decent characters drown in a plot that is meaningless and
confusing from the beginning to the end: the characters' actions are never explained and often seems to be
inconsistent, battles are insignificant, without strategy and without a stated goal and in the end there's always
the Apocalypse, a hackneyed idea. The only thing worth mentioning is the art, with a wonderful character design and
gorgeous scenery.

It's not really an historical anime, it's a parody of World War II with personified nations. If you don't
know the story of the war you won't understand well the events that, plus, are not in chronological order. Despite the flaws in the plot, it's quite enjoyable. The story, after all, it's not the most important thing: this anime is based on its humour and, indeed, it's funny to see all the stereotypes about countries in the world. ROMANO: "Che palle!

Miyazaki's works are always beautiful but I loved this one particularly because of the magic, the story, the
breathtaking settings and the meanings. The strange thing about this animated film is that it's very difficult to
sum up the plot because a thousand things happen that seemingly have nothing to do with each other, but that all
together make up the story. And… in the simplicity of the whole there is something extremely pleasant. HOWL: "I give up, I see no point in living if I can't be beautiful." | ||

characters, especially Kagome: she's childish, petulant and always plays the victim and despite her bad character
everyone is always on her side. And Inuyasha that never react! Many characters are just stereotypes: the bad guy, the
cynical one, the perverted one. Even the humor in the long run doesn't make you laugh anymore. I also don't

K-On! belongs to the slice-of-life genre, so there isn’t a plot, the episodes are fairly episodic. There are only
female characters and their main characteristic is an incredible amount of cuteness!! The episodes show the school life
of the five main characters while doing their cute, funny things revolving around the light music club. It’s a comedy,
so nothing dramatic or upsetting happens, only humorous and fun situations galore, that give a warm and light feeling.
The characters, even if they fall a bit into stereotypes of the moe genre, have nice personalities and realistic
emotions, they’re likable despite not being particularly well developed. The animation is very good and the music too,
but, in truth, I was hoping that the music would be given a greater role. Moreover, the first two years of school have
been condensed into just 13 episodes, I would have liked to see something more. YUI HIRASAWA: "When I first heard "Light Music Club" I thought it was all about easy music, so I joined thinking maybe I'll be playing castanets." | ||

I liked the many unsaid and not shown things, the fake truth, the unspoken feelings and the objectives only revealed at
the end. I liked the narration of the facts carried out by an external voice, which made the story looks like a fairy
tale told by a dear granny before going to bed. I liked the animation and the art. Some fights were spectacular, to
compensate for loooong speeches. I didn’t feel particular sympathy for the characters, but my opinion was redeemed at the end. Both have shown various parts of themselves and have changed a lot, throughout the story. I was surprised by the length of the episodes (almost 50 min.), each one with a different ending theme. Anyway, more than a sword technique, the Kyotōryū looks like a martial art. Also, it left me a bit puzzled that guns and dolls can be defined swords: they are simply weapons.

evilness and cynism for an awesome manga that keeps you in suspense in every situation. Dark, creepy and funny, with a
wonderful plot line and very good art. The anime has the same great characters, Ciel and Sebastian, but a pretentious
story, too different from the manga and that sometimes makes the characters contradict themselves in their actions. I
didn't like it, they could have made a wonderful transposition with such a great story but they ruined it because
they couldn't wait for the manga to go on a bit more. No need for the second season: it ruined the final of the
first one (the only acceptable thing) with a forced story and introduced new characters that I didn't like, a
mirror-portrait of the main couple. SEBASTIAN MICHAELIS: "You struggle desperately and kick others down, you rob and are robbed in return, all the while repeating your excuses, yet still you aim for the yonder over the hills. That is exactly why I find humans so amusing." | ||
