Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada
Review
Jin-tan lives the life of a hikikomori, dropping out of high school and
hardly ever leaving his house. Yet, when he was younger he was quite the lively
and outgoing boy. That was untill the day Menma died right after he had a
argument with her caused by his childish shyness. Today he has lost touch with
his friends and pretty much everyone else besides Menma, who is still
constantly with him as what he believes to be an imaginary product of his
guilty conscience. However, there seems to be something more to his Menma.
Maybe, if he reunites with his old friends and finds out about her last wish,
they can help Menma move on and free themselves from this guilty weight they
are still carrying with them.
Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai is the story about
how a single tragic death can change the life of children forever. While
everyone took a different path in life, they all still remember Menma and have
their own guilty secrets and ways to live with them. As the story unfolds, we
find out more about Menma and everyone of the old clique. While this show with
its slightly above average animation quality and touching music is pretty
entertaining to watch, I believe the real worth of this series will be decided
by the quality of its finale. For The First time am putting a sample Video of the anime.

ToraDora – Anime Review
Review:
Takasu lives alone with his beautiful but undependable mother. His father who isn’t around was a weird bad-ass looking yakuza. It’s because of his genes that Takasu-kun always looks evil and is always feared and mistaken for a delinquent, when in reality he is a caring guy who has to take care of his household on his own. On his first day in a new class he bumps into Taiga, a very small but pretty easily aggravated girl, often called palmtop-tiger, and gets punched in the face. At least all the misunderstandings about his personality are cleared now very early. He later finds out she actually lives in a big apartment just beside his small house. He also finds out they both are in love with each other’s best friends, and so they agree to help each other, which turns out to be not as easy as they think.
Toradora is one of the more deep school comedy romances. The protagonists are interesting and there’s lots of character development while the comedy does not fall short in any way. It’s a story about how, unlike their outer appearances and first impressions, people can beautiful once you get to know them better and spend time with them. A show not only about love and comedy, but also about prejudice, misunderstandings, false rumors, psychology and friendship. The animation quality is more than acceptable, and from what I’ve read in the manga, the story is really going somewhere. However, the anime rushed the happenings of the manga (which also rushed the story of the original series of novells already) at a few rather important scenes and failed to convey their meanings fittingly. But someone not familiar with the novell nor manga will maybe not notice anything about that.

Kemeko DX – Anime Review
Review:
Sanpeita-kun’s mother is always busily working as an artist at home; that’s why his little sister has to take care of the household. Their father might be gone, but they still do their best to get by. However, suddenly Kemeko appears in Sanpeita-kun’s life crashing into his room with a giant rocket, announcing to marry him. Kemeko seems to be a rather weird and ugly fighting android who protects Sanpeita from other fighting robots who attack him for no particular reason. The beautiful girl inside Kemeko reminds him of his childhood sweetheart, but that is little consolidation for all the trouble she causes.
This anime is a rather well done adaptation of the Kemeko-DX manga. The brilliant animation quality enables an adequate presentation of all those funny jokes and ridiculous situations. There obviously is a developing story with questions and secrets to be uncovered, but you shouldn’t hope for a deep and original story too much. Most of all this show is about comedy with a touch of romance, action and maybe harem.

Coyote Ragtime Show – Anime Review

Review:
Coyote Ragtime Show is a Sci-Fi action-adventure taking place on
the planet Graceland in the far future. There is constant war and the Earth
Federation is planning to destroy this planet within 7 days in order to prevent
war from spreading to other planets. But there are people like 2 skilled
detectives, a high-wanted lawless guy called Mister and a mysterious woman
commanding a bunch of maid-girl-cyborg-killer machines still looking for the
inheritance of the dead Pirate King that happens to be somewhere on this
planet.
This is a pretty exciting and enjoyable anime with lots of action and nice
animations, yet it ends to quickly to leave any significant impact on the
viewer.

Soul Eater – Anime Review
Review:
Maka Albarn and her weapon Soul, are students at Shibusen – a
Shinigami Weapon Meister University. The purpose of Shibusen is to train
Meisters and Weapons to protect humankind against the Kinshin, demon gods of
destruction. When humans go down the wrong path and pursue evil, their souls
become possessed by the egg of Kishin. In order to prevent their coming, Maka
and Soul hunt these tainted beings. Their goal is to defeat and eat the souls
of ninety-nine evil human souls and one witch’s soul in order to evolve into a
master weapon fit for a Shinigami. A path that’s not as easy as it sounds.
This supernatural series has fantastic action sequences and unique
characters. The storyline is just as
twisted as the artwork. If you’re looking for something dark, new, and
exciting, this is for you.
