Review of Angel Beats!

Uppfinnarn — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 10:13:26 +0000

Angel Beats! was definitely the best show of the Spring Season. Anyone surprised considering this s a Key series? Would the makers of Clannad, Clannad ~After Story~, Kanon and Air do something that isn’t the best show of any season? It hasn’t happened yet!

Review of Clannad ~After Story~

Uppfinnarn — Thu, 27 May 2010 14:53:48 +0000

There’s certainly a reason why this is ranked #1 at Anime News Network’s Anime Top-10. It has a depth that no other Anime can dream of, an atmosphere like the Manga version of D.N.Angel, and it’s made by Key that are famous for three things: 1) Writing beautiful stories 2) Killing off major characters at least once per series 3) Playing the viewers’ emotions like a keyboard partially using #1 and #2. There’s also a whole lot of [...]

Review of Clannad

Uppfinnarn — Sat, 22 May 2010 09:28:21 +0000

Clannad is a seriously beautiful high-school love story at it’s best. This is one of those must see-Animes that goes down in history.

Tomoya Okazaki has grown up with only his alcoholic father, and because of that he’s become something of a delinquent. On his way to school on one of the days when he doesn’t skip class he meets a girl, Nagisa Furukawa, talking to herself about how she loves this school. Tomoya somehow befriends the strange girl, [...]

Review of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Uppfinnarn — Thu, 13 May 2010 12:38:32 +0000

I’m Haruhi Suzumiya, from East Junior High. First off, I’m not interested in ordinary people. But, if any of you are aliens, time-travelers, or espers, please come see me. That is all! —Haruhi

Haruhi is many things. Excentric, hyperactive and strange are some of the adjectives that can be applied to her. But Melancholic is not one of them, so I have no idea of where this title came from. Nonsensical title or not, this is one of those series [...]

First glance of Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou

Uppfinnarn — Sun, 09 May 2010 14:27:06 +0000

This is one of those series where every little thing goes wrong, and I completely love it. What I don’t like quite as much is the large amount of fanservice/ecchi, but the plot makes up for it.

Akuto is a guy who enters a high-school for mages trying to become a high priest and make everyone happy. However, a spirit on the school that can apparently predict the future with 100% accuracy tells him that he will instead become [...]

Review of D.N.Angel

Uppfinnarn — Sun, 09 May 2010 06:31:12 +0000

The D.N.Angel Manga was the biggest masterpiece I’ve ever read. Then the Anime must be equally awesome, right? Sadly no.

In case you didn’t know, D.N.Angel is an unfinished Manga series that happens to be one of the best ones I’ve ever read. The story centers around a boy named Daisuke Niwa who on his 14th Birthday gets rejected by his crush Risa Harada. This triggers a hereditary gene that has been in his family for generations, and awakens [...]

Angel Beats! Episode 5

Uppfinnarn — Sun, 02 May 2010 04:52:48 +0000

Quick Update on Angel Beats! since the fifth episode has just been released. This is actually the first of these Single Post reviews, but certainly not the last. The reason is simply that I’ve never felt this sad for an Anime character is you don’t count Aeris. The only thing I can really say about this episode is: Now they’re just plain mean.

Tenshi never do anything to them unless they break the rules, and then she doesn’t do [...]

Review of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

Academy City… is a place to be yourself! — Misaka

Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, also known as A Certain Scientific Railgun is a side-story of the previous series Toaru Majutsu no Index(a.k.a A Certain Magical Index), and focuses on Misaka and Shirai rather than Touma and Index. Anyone who has seen Index knows who these two are. Misaka, the Level 5 Esper with the ability to control electric and magnetic fields, and her roommate Shirai, who is the Lesbian Stalker character [...]

Then, would you accompany me to the depths of hell?— Index

Academy City is a city that is, according to a tourist guide in an episode, about 20-30 years ahead of the rest of the world. Also, the city is in itself an experiment. 80% of the inhabitants of Academy City are students(thus the name) and about 70-90% of the inhabitants has [...]

Review: Dragon Drive (Anime)

Uppfinnarn — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 20:00:20 +0000

This is an excellent example of a Dragonball Syndrome. A DB Syndrome is an Anime or Manga where the main characters gets far too powerful towards then end, and at the same time the plot starts dropping in quality. This is exactly what happened here.

Dragon Drive starts out really good, a guy named Reiji Oozora gets invited to an underground arcade where a Virtual Reality Fighting Game called Dragon Drive is played. Reiji gets a Dragon to play the game, [...]
