Rated:
This is a Review of Angel Beats!
...Pass me a hankerchief...*sneeze*
Anyways , though perhaps not as emotional as other KEY works like Clannad , they have pretty much effectively stuffed a
lot of emotional stuff in thirteen episodes which would drive you to the edge of tears , if your human enough.
Each story is well constructed , perhaps due to the affection the audience built up for the characters due to all the
comedic sequences , but mainly because each past that the characters have experienced is down-to-earth yet heart
wrenching at the same time.
But undeniably , the Anime is no where near serious till the second part of the Anime comes into play.

Z827's Fate/stay night Tv Review
Rated:
This is a Review of Fate Stay Night : Unlimited Blade Works
Truth be told , this is really just meant for the old fans and directed at the ones who had actually played the Visual
Novel for it is...well , a general summary of the original Unlimited Blade Works story , purely a sum-up of the
route.
It is hard for new fans to enjoy this fully since the story arrangement is a bit messed up due to the Movie time limit
but everything is made up by the artwork , the awesome battle scenes and how this Movie proves to all that Emiya Shirou
is not a spineless wimp....hey , did I just say that?
Anyways , I heavily recommend the Movie solely to those who had played the Visual Novel. You would only ruin the
experience by watching it before understanding the plot.

Z827's Fate/stay night Game Review
Rated:
This is a Review of Fate/Stay Night ~Realta Nua~ :
The Visual Novel was indeed a splendid art of work. Though it's artwork and romance factor might be overwhelmed by
other Visual Novels , the concept and storyline is certainly one of the best.
The producers had also added visual effects and sound effects at some scenes , as well as voice acting for most of the
conversations in the game , which makes the scenes relatively more interesting.
Though relatively dry at first , it is interesting to see how the story can potentially branch into three general
storylines , each with their own traits and each as unique as the characters in the game itself.

Z827's Black Lagoon Tv Review
Rated:
This is a Review of Black Lagoon and Black Lagoon : The Second Barrage :
Hmm...This is certainly an extremely well-done Anime and well , let's just say this is a bit of pyschological twist
as well.
The upside of this Anime is that the bad as* sequences depicted in the Anime wasn't over-done. The characters
don't do anything melodramatic yet still retaining the bad as* flavour to them. As for the psychological twist
part...well , let's just say that the backgrounds of the characters are extremely dark and all. The Anime is also
depressing in it's own way with a cast of realistic characters who are emotiaonlly deranged by their past.
The downside is...

Z827's Seto no Hanayome Tv Review
Rated:
This is a Review of Seto no Hanayome :
Romance / Comedy mix had never looked so good :D Cute girls , fresh jokes and repeating jokes that never seems to get
old , Seto no Hanayome is a must-watch for any Romance-Comedy fans.
Like a typical Romance-Comedy Anime , storyline-wise , it's pretty weak and it's kinda strange to see how a
non-serious event results in serious consequences at times but I dare say this Anime lives off it's artwork ( To be
specific , the girls ) , comedic sequences and later on in the plot , the romance factor , which was actually very weak
at first and can prove distasteful to romance fans since the romance involved here is more or less a form of
responsibility with no emotions to it. But as I said , the romance factor grows stronger later so sit tight.

Z827's DURARARA!! Tv Review
Rated:
This is a Review of Durarara! :
Certainly , Durarara is being overly mysterious and being too wrapped up AT FIRST. However , like waiting for something
to get cooked , you need to have patience , otherwise you'd never have a chance to enjoy the savory taste of the
plot twist at the back.
This Anime also have a strong city-feel about it and though it IS about the darker side of a city , it isn't quite
as disturbing as I thought it'll be.
If your looking for strong plot-twists that doesn't need you to burst your mind out of all the thinking , a cast of
intriuging characters and an atmosphere that is often being swayed between "dark" and "light" , this
is your meal...I mean , this would be your cup of tea...

Z827's The World God Only Knows Manga Review
Rated:
This is a Review of The World God Only Knows / Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai :
This is a one-of-a-kind Manga that's for sure. Well , generally speaking , the storyline moves at a very slow pace
, with the general concept budging with every couple of volumes but the mini-arcs per few Chapters is enough to keep the
Manga fresh and entertaining. Well , I'm probably parroting what I said in the Story Section but each Arc is always
a bit different from the previous one , or indeed , being so different that you'd be quite surprised by how things
go at time.
Interestingly , each Arc have a slight moral lesson which can be learnt as well.

Z827's 11eyes Tv Review
Rated:
This is a Review of 11Eyes :
Certainly , this is an excellent Anime if it wasn't pulled down by certain plotline related flaws such as the
under-elaboration of certain characters and a fairly cheesy main lead. His devotion is admirable but definitely to a
state of awkwardness and maybe a bit of repulsiveness amongst the viewers.
Anyway , romantically-wise , this Anime wouldn't turn out too well with Romance fans either , unless your into
twisted and blind romance , which I definitely do not enjoy.
But ignoring the flaws , this Anime certainly have an interesting RPG-ish aura about it as well as an unique
concept.
Overall ( Others ) :
Age Recommendation : 16+
Genre : Action , Fantasy / Supernatural , Suspense , Ecchi ( Suggestive )
Romance :
Just to elaborate on...

Z827's Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens Tv Review
Rated:
This is a Review of Kannagi :
This is perhaps one of the best comedy / romance mix. Other than the storyline , I think this Anime pretty much scores
well for the other sectors , though the romance part may be a bit lacking for people who are intent on those type of
"love love" romance , but it's kinda refreshing since this is more focused on the "crush" level
of romance rather than the typical types you see in Anime , where things ALWAYS end up blooming and all.
As for the comedy content , it features a combination of dialogue comedy , visual comedy and a bit of parody... (
Wait...in one of those episodes...

Z827's xxxHOLiC Tv Review
Rated:
This is a Review of xxxHolic ( Season I ) :
Essentially , xxxHolic is a fine mix of morality with light humor and a bit of storyline as side-ingridients. Every few
episodes or so , a morality value which is to be learnt is almost always there , either learning not to lie and stuff
like that...you get the idea.
The storyline is quite intriuging to a certain extent , further supported by the usage of mythology references to the
Japanese culture to keep this alive , if you ARE curious enough anyway.
Well , Season I was simply a stepping stone for the later Seasons I believe , I haven't watched the Anime yet but I
have read bits of the Manga so more under-elaborated characters would be explained further later on , but definitely not
in this Season.
