... as if I've been rather complimentary these past few reviews. I've given a few high ratings, and generally not had many bad things to say about series. I don't want to come across as one of those people who just praise anything that's anime, so I had better point out that for most of the series I watch, it's because I enjoy them. Therefore, the majority of series that I watch will probably

GONZO have come under a lot of flak recently for what many have seen as a severe drop in standards in their work, and resorting to fanservice, in shows such as Strike Witches. But what most people forget is the fairly impressive standard from which they fell. I am still a fan of many of the studio's earlier works, and shows such as Last Exile really show off their prowess. Another older title

There's something about adventure series that really appeals to me. Perhaps it's that the technical aspects are generally impressive; imaginative locales, sweeping musical scores, and usually a couple of well-detailed fights thrown in. Or maybe that the viewer is usually presented with a wide, varied cast of characters, whose plights and agendas, whilst conflicting, are able to provoke empathy

If you're reading an anime blog, chances are you've heard of Haruhi. One of the biggest recent hits from Japan, the series appeals to pretty much everyone, and has been released in fairly awesome LE sets in the US and- for once- the UK. It's big- very big. But is it actually any good?Short answer: yes. Yes, it is very good. If you haven't seen the series yet then there's a fair chance you

A visual novel adaptation with slight harem elements that quickly develops into a low-key psychological thriller, ChäoS;HEAd is one of the more interesting series to air this past season. But despite the ambitious plot and occasional striking visual elements, it falls a little short of what it clearly aims to achieve.This review will contain some spoilers; if you want to avoid them, please skip

This is how I will be rating the series I review:Story / plot / characters - out of 5Pretty obvious. The originality of the plot, the quality of the writing, how compelling it was, how engaging the characters were... these will be rated from 0-5 (with 5 being the best).Technical aspects (art, music etc.) - out of 5Again, it should be obvious. How nice is the art style to watch? Are the
