Akira (Manga) add
Preliminary (87/120 chp)
Akira. Whether you're a fan of manga, anime, comics,film, science fiction, or just any kind of art form, most likely you have heard of the name "Akira", along with Akira Kurosawa it must be the most popular Akira out there.Whether it deserves the title of classic is up to those who have given it a chance, however if you are considering the movie best is to read the manga first.
Being called "classic" has many justifications, classics are usually good but in no way perfect. I kind of wish I could give this a 7.50, for 7 is too low but 8 is too high, why ...

Tokyo Babylon (Manga) add
With CLAMP it seems you are definitely to get a story that holds many archetypes and cliches done in a way that seems original and fresh. I'm truly baffled as to how they manage, but they do, and so this is also the way TB is done.

Story:
Pain, tragedy, pain, tragedy, throw in some more pain and tragedy. Not to say that the plot is bad, not at all. In fact CLAMP here uses the urban landscape quite well, delving into the lives of those cursed by its overwhelming power to either let you rise or sink to the bottom. Tokyo is basically the main theme ...

So "Darker than Black" drew me in by the title."Darker than Black"?That's a pretty cool title.Anywho,this series is okay,for a series that explains little to nothing, has almost no character development and is a little overall confusing, it does a good job to entertain.

The story is pretty complicated to begin with. Some explosion occurs five years prior and we lose Latin America(might be the other way around though 'cause I'm forgetful)and then the sky disappears and they build a gate around Tokyo to keep them away from some forbidden area. Oh and some supernatural beings that look like humans appear that are called "Contractors".We enter ...

I have to admit: I watched this when I was first getting into anime and when I read the plot I thought "OMG, American teen movie all the way"
Then I did not know that Japan manages to make amazing plots that sound familiar and predictable and turn them into something unique and marvelous. Again: kudos to these people and their amazing talent!

STORY:(8) seriously, it sounds ridiculous and like something that you'll probably know what will happen next.The truth is it surprised me 'cause this baby is full of surprises, good surprises, the story takes many turns to things you wouldn't have imagined. But the real ...

A series very little known, I randomly stumbled upon it here on MAL and thought it to be pretty interesting, I'm glad to say that I wasn't let down one bit.
This series is one of those ones that might be under the category of anime, it might look like anime but the only thing anime about it is the animation. All cliches and all things that define anime as the genre are gone leaving a story so very well told, a true masterpiece.

STORY:(10)
What does make a good series? I think a lot of very good anime or stories in general are very heavy on characters, ...

Kuroshitsuji (Manga) add
Preliminary (55/? chp)
So I first saw the anime and was left bitter since I believed the story had more to offer than the show itself and then I picked the manga up.
They both get a seven but I honestly believe the manga to 100 times better than the anime or it's lousy sequel which by the way was too horrible to even watch till the end. Though I like the manga better it still lacks and so here I will try to explain why.

STORY: quite good, very good actually. The story doesn't have much consistency; the only consistent thing about it is that Ciel sold his soul ...

Paradise Kiss (Anime) add
I have not read the manga, so this review relies on the anime alone.


STORY: not too original but not too typical either. Parakiss has an interesting plot, rather simple and realistic with a fairytale twist, I merely took upon in because I like fashion and it really is an appealing show for ones who like fashion and the whole industry. It shows some interesting facts about certain things, a small peek into clothe designing and the whole clothes/model industry in general. It also deals a great matter with the issue of school and the pressure a lot of parents tend to put on their kids ...
