Pita Ten



I had started this series a long time ago, when I visited a book store. And here's my thoughts:

For one, the art was fantastic (It's the same creator of Kamichama Karin.) The plot was cute. I really liked how she had the sixth grader, Koutaro Higuchi, have the ability to see angels and demons. It made it interesting to see how a little boy would handle a supernatural situation. Then, I liked the energetic, and caring Misha and the gentle but sad Shia. I thought those two characters really made the show interesting. And, the ending was really good, but a little sad.

On the other hand, Misha's baby talk was a little too strange (Even though she's in middle school.)
Then, I found it strange that all the elementary kids were more mature, than the older kids. Then, it got silly whenever Misha would start hugging Koutaro (which was constantly), his friend Koboshi, would get very jealous and angry. Also, it took Koutaro four volumes of the manga to figure out that Misha was an angel. I thought that part was kind of dragged out a little.

Well, I give it a four out of five.

Kamichama Karin


I started to read this series when I turned thirteen a few years ago, after I finished reading Pita Ten. I have seen a few episodes of this series, but not much. Anyway, here's my thoughts on the series:

For one, the artwork is beautiful! I'm impressed! The plot was good. I liked how the creator used gods and goddesses. It kept me interested. Then, I was interested in the heroine of the series, Karin Hanazono. Because, she was different from most girls: shy, tends to cry a lot, hyper, and not-the-smartest. I liked how she was different that way. Then, as this series was a parody, I liked how the creator had Kazune be overly sexist (Not to say I'm not a feminist. I am.) but, because the creator is making fun at how some heros are being sexist. And the humor had me laughing hysterically.

On the hand, the romantic scenes in the story were very silly (Although, some were cute.) The secret towards the end of season one, was odd, and made no sense. Then, the second season was not to my taste. Because of the new character, pop star Jin was there to make Kazune jealous was also not to my taste. I just didn't like it, as much as season one.

All in all, I'd give it a three out of five.

Sugar Sugar Rune


I got the beginning of this anime, a few years ago. And, these are my thoughts:

First, the artwork was poorly done. I was not impressed. The plot was wasn't to my taste either. I wasn't interested that two witches took human's heart and the more they got, the closer the closer they were to becoming queen. Then, fact that the author used witches, it just made the story a little boring (After watching Harry Potter, you get easily tired of witches/wizards.) I would recommend this to someone who was still into witches and wizards, and really lkes romance.

I'd give it a one out of five.

Princess Tutu


I started this amazing series a few years ago, when a friend of mine recommended Princess Tutu to me. I was a little skeptical at first. But as soon I watched it, I fell in love it it.
Here's my thoughts on this series.

First, the artwork was beautiful! It was well done. The plot was super creative. I fell in love instantly with the first episode. I really liked how it was Princess Tutu's job to rather all the pieces of the prince's heart. Then, I really liked the raven's daughter, the black swan, Princess Kreahe. I thought she made an interesting villian. I also liked how all of the characters were connected to the prince, in some interesting way. Then, the characters are all lovable. I thought they are all cute, in their own ways.

I really don't have any complaints.

I'm going to give it a five out of five.

The Gentlemen's Alliance Cross


I read the first volume a few months ago, and I wasn't that impressed with it. I tried a few times to get into it, but I couldn't. Here are my thoughts on the series:

The art was good, and it certainly looked very cute, but the plot didn't keep my interest, I thought it goofy how Haine kept on going after her love interest, no matter how many times he rudely turned her down. Then, Haine kept reminding me of Tohru Honda mixed together with Arisa from Fruits Basket.

Anyway, I'm rating this a two out of five.

Chrono Crusade


Plot: Set in New York, 1920s, Christian exorcist Rosette Christopher, along with her partner Chrono, currently work for SetThe Magdalene order. It is their duty to exorcise all demons that attempt to kill off their society (along with Rosette trying to gather enough information to save her brother, Joshua, from a particularly strong demon, Aion.)

I began this series before the start of my summer break, I heard from other people that Chrono Crusade was another really good anime (It's the same way I found Gakuen Alice.) So, I started and I instantly fell in love with Chrono Crusade. Here's my thought on this series:

It had really good artwork. I was really impressed! The plot is very different and unique! I have never seen anything close to this! The characters were excellent! They were very endearing! I loved it!

One the other hand, I found out that the creator was asked to write the anime more differently from the manga (For those who love something really sad, you'll like the anime better.) So, the endings are a little different (The manga left us on a slightly happier note.) I prefer the manga personally to the anime. The manga had more detail, and it explained more about Rosette's parents a little more and Rosette herself.

Well, I would give this a five out of five.

XxxHolic




As I've said before, I started XxxHolic along with Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. I also have yet to see an episode of XxxHolic. It is a great series, and here are my thoughts on this interesting series:

For one, Clamp, yet again has done a spectacular job! The dark, gothic, haunting artwork is excellent! Also, the dark plot also draws you in as soon as you open the first page. The characters are excellent (My favorite characters are Watanuki and Yuko.) And, it's always interesting about what other spirit Watanuki's going to encounter next.

Again, I have no complaints with the show.

I give this series a five out of five.
