i think the anime is just mediocre, all the characters are less than memorable, can't even remember their name.
i think the plot of forming a boys choir is not a bad idea, just that the execution is terrible. and what's with the last episode's ending? what does it mean? is the conductor staying to continue teaching them or he is going to go back to his original conductor position, i totally don't get it.
i kept on watching instead of dropping the anime as i was hoping there will be some sort of climax in the development however there was none. i would say not to

i had high hopes for this anime after i came across it as one of the anime gonna be release for this last quarter of the year. went to google down, listen to all their songs on their youtube channels etc. however the anime did not live up to my expectations, i feel that the adaption seems to focus more on the characters' personal lives, their tribulation blah blah blah instead of their music and the competition.
additionally, the anime felt really choppy that i couldn't link them up. for example in episode 3, right at the beginning it was announced that the second round stage ...

Yakitate!! Japan

i watched the anime many years ago, decided to read the manga now as i was bored and curious to know if there are a lot of changes made in the anime as compared to the original storyline.
i think the manga started out okay, however towards the last few volumes of the series, the storyline was getting more and more ridiculous. i was losing interest already but wanted to complete the series so i forced myself to finish it. i think the author just went a little too crazy with the storyline development in the last few volumes that it kinda missed the mark for ...

i had high hopes for this anime as it's art related and i like artsy-fartsy stuff, however to say i am disappointed is an understatement.
first of all, i felt that the characters' drama overshadowed the main plot of perception art. i mean the non-stop drama of all the characters was annoying as shit, like why?? really, why?? secondly, the main plot is art, specially "perception art" but i still don't really get the whole concept of it as there wasn't much explanation about it. additionally, there isn't much scene of the characters doing the actual art because of all the nonsensical drama. i mean the execution ...

Bakuten!! Movie
(Anime)
add
hmm… i wouldn’t say the movie is bad, it just went in a different direction than i expected i guess. i was expecting the movie to be focus on the team participating in the nationals competition since it's all they talked about in the tv series. so when the competition begin right from the start, i started to think something else might happen if not there is too much time left in the movie, lol.
the movie as a whole felt very emotional i feel, because of the third years graduating and the coach leaving the team, keep making me teared up. wished it was a ...

Ballroom e Youkoso
(Anime)
add
hmm… i like the concept of competitive ballroom dancing as i have not watch any anime that uses this as a theme. however the execution is very poorly done, because even though "dance" being the main plot of the anime, i don’t feel that there was enough "dance" shown.
instead of the characters' dance routine or their full performance, we keep getting flashes of the audience's expressions or their commentary about who is good yada yada which honestly, viewers don't really give a shit about. i mean what's the point of filming audiences' in awed expressions when we viewers don't even know what are they in ...

Cheer Danshi!!
(Anime)
add
i feel that the concept about cheerleading is great, however the execution is subpar. like the whole anime should be about cheerleading however the characters' melodrama seems to take over the cheerleading part. like the characters' relationship between each other, their own background stories yada yada, i think these could all be omitted and focus more on their main topic.
i mean they entered the cheerleading competition but the performance of other schools are practically not shown, if they are shown, you just see them posing, never the full routine of their performance. even the main characters' school performance in the last episode wasn't all shown ...

i hate to give a 4* rating for this as i liked the series right from the start. however, this finale movie feels like a great let-down after waiting for so long for it. the whole execution just feels wrong, it is way too choppy as it keeps jumping between different scenes, and it was really hard to connect them.
firstly, the multiple flashbacks felt really redundant. secondly, the scene where it played a song with a replay from the previous movie, but the dialogue was on and silent, on and silent, i was like "huh????". thirdly, there were a lot of "silent" scenes which ...

Isekai Yakkyoku

add
i think the anime is pretty interesting. however, i did not give it a much higher rating because the series felt way too short. like there should have been more development to the story instead of just ending it kind of abruptly.
for example, we didn't get to see falma's brother appearing in the series, just his photo and him being mentioned a couple of times. or the guild might come up with something new to do crush falma's pharmacy since that old man wasn't very happy that falma's pharmacy is taking away their business, i mean he just sent some carriage and bang into ...

i don’t think this anime is terrible in general, as oppose to a genius that performs perfectly from the start, main character Aoi starting to get better along each episode is pretty good as well since you can watch how his character and skills develop.
what i really have a problem with is Aoi's voice (i hate to be rude to the voice actor so i gotta say "i'm sorry" here), but his voice is really f*cking annoying. i actually wanted to stop watching after the first few episodes because i can't stand his voice, but it feels like an anime that is kind of worth ... |
