Story- 3
I you are trying to cramp an entire game into a 2 30mins long OVA is not going to work, because for those who do not have the chance to play the game is somewhat hard to follow. The setting of the story is in the same time as the original anime, but at different place. The story pacing is very rushed, in the 1st OVA they did a fair job of introducing the 'Nameless' squad an overall look of all soldiers in the middle of a war. That's is the end of it with some other talks. 2nd OVA skip straight into Riela
...
valkriya's power action, and the meeting up with 'Squad 7' members. Finally it the OVA ended. Terrible story pace, but is to be expected for 2 OVAs it would be much better for for it to be adapted into an anime, because you will not fully understand the story without playing the game.
Art- 7
The art looks good, good CG in the battles, but the game's art is much better.
Sound- 10
I am a fan of Valkyria Chronicle's soundtrack, and so I would love the music in this one too. Tones of the war music is serious as the theme address. Great to listen to them again.
Character- 6
The only characters that you will get a good grasp on is Kurt the leader of Nameless squad a very smart strategist. Next is Imca one glace she is a tomboy. Riela can't be more obvious. As for the other members very brief details, but you do get some ideas of what their personality is upon their way of speaking.
Enjoyment- 4
The game dominate the OVAs. If you don't have the chance to play the game well you won't like the OVA, but is not like you have a choice anyway becuase their is not english version of the game. So the OVA is really pointless compare it to the depth of the game's story.

Been waiting for this movie for a long long time, and we now get to see Tomoki's quiet and peaceful life get interrupted again. Few minutes into the movie was a hilarious start. This movie does have ecchi element, but those ecchi moment is what made this series famous, no nudity but just panty and boobs. So feel safe to watch it if you are worrying about ecchi element.
Story- 9
I just can't stop grinning when the message pops up "Have you guys forgot someone?" (not 100%, but close enough translation). Then I burst into laughing as Tomoki leads the OP, a very funny OP that
...
is timed very accurate with the motion. After that we get to meet our new heroin Kazane Hiyori, there is a lot of blushes we see coming from Hiyori whenever she sees Tomoki. Despite the fact that the recap at the start was somewhat long, with some new additional scenes that Hiyori is in it, but I don't mind it it just felt nostalgic, got to see our characters again. Up to the point where Hiyori finally gather her courage to join the 'New World Discovery Club' in order to get close to Tomoki, then the story start progressing. Minutes of this movie goes by fast reaching to the point of where the climax of the movie begins. Comparing to the 2 seasons I think this movie have the power capture the emotional feelings of the audience. The story telling will jump from between Hiyori and Tomoki point of view. The pacing of the story has good not too fast nor slow, although you may feel a bit rushed when Hiyori's arc begins after those recaps, but is not true because the pace have been controlled well. Just like the two previous seasons the switching mood of the story has always been great, an instant click from funny moment to serious, serious to hilarious, hilarious to sad, so this is also a highlight of the story. There is some part in the manga of Hiyori's arc is not include in this movie, but nothing major all the important point are here.
Art- 10
The visual appeal are very pleasing, whether is the normal sized characters or the SD version characters both worked. One art work that i need to give credit to is the huge clock work design on Zeta's back. The details is amazing, all the clock mechanics was well displayed, overall look great. The battle visual effect is great too. The art is fantastic.
Sound- 9
Great to hear some new songs the funny OP, the insert songs, the ED song. As well as some old songs such as Tomoki's infamous solo song, plus 'Fallen Down' by Ikaros. Such good music is never hurt to hear it again. The soundtrack is also good, some may be forgotten but once you hear you knew it was familiar.
Character- 10
I love it cast as funny as they can be. They are also lovable everyone of them. Hiyori as the new character has done well as being part of the New World Discovery club, as well as a very memorable character.
Enjoyment- 10
This movie have entertained me from start to finish. I enjoyed every second out of it, juicing the orange to it max. The story is emotional enough for me to feel for the characters, and funny enough to made me laugh every few minutes. Oh, just to let you know there is more after the credit. This movie is one of those better ecchi anime genre, and would recommend to give it a try.
This movie I think is well worth the wait, and well worth a hour and 36 mins of my time.

Story- 7
Let's just say this is an anime with pretty girl with nudity, that's right, oh plus a lots of fan-serviceS, because the show try every possible way to show some boobs and the things behind the bra, so correction this show is not a lots fan-serviceS, the entire show is fan-serviceS. Story on the other hand has been some what slow paced and cliche, but there is a bunch of comedy, comparing to other cliche anime along with the harem theme, Highschool DxD have a place for competition.Why, because due to the winning side of the sexy girls plus Issei the most pervert character
...
out of the harem theme. (There is others but u just can't come up with one on spot).
Art-8
The girls are hot, that's it.
Sound-8
Love the OP when I first hear it, is very good. And that ED whoa 'amaze' by the characters movement or the motion it just so natural in a way.
Character-8
As i have state before Issei the most pervert character out of the harem theme is indeed true, because you will guarantee to hear the "Oppai" word every time Issei say something. Beside him Gremory, Rias (my fav)the red hair beauty is just sexy, Himejima, Akeno (my Fav) is just a sadist straight up, is so fun to watch her to tease Iseei enough for us to laugh and enough to show her sadist-ness, so no need to say more. I know i am no doing all characters sry, but at least the two idols of the school 'The Two Onee-san' can't choose which one.
Enjoyment- 7
Despite this being a cliche anime it has done well to pull it off with the comedy, and another compliment is to the seiyuu I love Akeno's seiyuu it prefect.
Overall- 8
As of now 8 episodes is been fun to watch and more fun will be on its way. If you don't like nudity anime then bad luck for you, but give it a go is been enjoyable.

Story- 10
Every episodes of the sequel so far has been very unusually funny, from teasing fan-service to word play (of course), plus supernatural, that is what this show is about. Offering the audience the most unusual humor from all other animes is what makes this anime stands out. Just like the word 'Courage' throw that in a sentence it will make anything sound righteous, "Have the courage to waste my time to write a review" (an example by me, try to understand the meaning of courage behind it that make me sound righteous, and sarcasm. lol, but please do not take it offensive. ).
...
Hopefully that gives you a vague idea of where the show is going, every characters (8 girls so far, exclude the boy) have their own way of sarcasm.
Art-9
Unique art style from SHAFT in this anime. The art is also what back up the weird jokes or abnormal conversations, because is related to the meaning of the conversation. Amazing art is what will capture the viewers attention, and if the art is not the taste for you, it work wonderful with everything else.( I love the art)
Sound- 9
The 3 OP's is great one is Senjōgahara, one is Karen, and now the latest Tsukihi, each sounded awesome. Now the background music is ... I don't know how to describe it, but it has the power to warp you into the mood of the scene, the music is great.
Character- 9
A lot is going on with the characters or a lots, you will never get tired of the sarcasm of different characters, from elementary school kid Hachikuji Mayoi (my fav char, and hint 'Courage' is her quote), to the tsundere girlfriend Senjōgahara Hitagi, to the fetish underclassman Kanbaru Suruga, to the "Koyomi oniichan" Sengoku Nadeko, to the class rep of the class rep Hanekawa Tsubasa, to the proud justice itself (that's right not the ally of justice) Araragi Karen and Araragi Tsukihi, and finally to the Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade (that's her name) loli vampire Shinobu (in fact she is 500 years old but took the child form).
Enjoyment- 10
Definitely a prefect 10, it started off strong in Bakemonogatari with the art, the jokes, and now Nisemonogatari carried the tradition and improve it in those aspect. For myself i have love the show more and more as each episode goes by, plus the light novel as i have finished all, and waiting for the final three novels this year.
Overall- 10
The Bakemonogatari series (all not one) is a great piece of work, one should not skip out on, because of what so ever reason, and is like trying to picking a red jelly bean out of the 100 green jelly beans (which one stands out). Well since this is my first review i hope you guys don't criticize too much since I need to "Have the courage to write a review".
