Though this anime has already been completed, I would still like to write my experience on the first half of this anime.
Spotted this being brodcasted on Animax (TV Channel focused around Anime).
======================================================
Review for Charlotte (First Half - Episode 1-6)
======================================================
Drama, School, Super Power
Like my other reviews, I will assume you know what Charlotte is about at least as much as the synopsis lets on,
If not please head over to myanimelist.net. here
(SPOILER FREE)
Through the first 6 episodes, This is a day to day adventure anime done right knowing that it only has 13 episodes to work with in the first season. Though each episode leads our cast of main characters on their episodic adventure a story-line still develops and along with a developing story-line we learn more and more about our main cast. In my personal opinion it makes the anime very enjoyable to watch. After finishing this first season, I would probably also do a write a situation analysis.
The art style is up to par with the "Standard Style" used in anime nowadays. and the voice acting has been done well (Japanese Dub).
Yet again the six episode has ended on a cliff hanger that makes me really want to continue with the season as soon as possible. One of the benefits of waiting till a season is complete before watching.
If you are interested to watch "Charlotte"
Then I recommend kissanime.to.

Review : Shomin Sample ( Season 1 )
I wrote a review on my experience with the first half of this season, If you are interested to read it first please do so here.
===============================================
Review for Shomin Sample (Season 1)
===============================================
Harem, Comedy, Ecchi
My first half review was rather negative and sadly not much has changed after watching the second half.
As per usual I will assume you have read the synopsis of Shomin Sample. If you haven't head over to Animelist page here.
(SPOILER FREE)
Story (5/10)
There is a story here, Though this isn't the anime I thought it was gonna be (12 episodes long), It was a "day2day" type anime. There is nothing wrong with day2day anime's, Each episode is enjoyable and very random but the problem here for me is the season is only 12 episodes long, When your throw out the random episodes you have barely any episodes for story development.
Of coarse this is merely my opinion on the matter,
"Day2Day" is what I would refer to as each episode having their own little event/adventure other anime's that follow this format are such as Sargent Keroro or Hayate The Combat Butler.
Day2Day anime's don't necessarily not have story-lines, They do but it develops in the background, (Usually having the last few episodes of a season be special in some way)
Art (8/10)
If you were to read my previous reviews done in this format the score of 9 or 10 is reserved for anime's with unique art styles that "work". Shomin Sample has gone for a very standard Art style. Of coarse this does not give or take away from the anime's enjoy-ability. The "Standard Style" as I would call it,
Sound (10/10)
The Voice acting have been done well (Japanese Dub), Sound effects are also up to par.
Character (4/10)
In my personal opinions, The characters are still very flat, The anime shows us the character's personality and that's about it, Face Value, You can add all the backstory you want for the second season, But in the first season barely anything. This character does this they always do this, We won't tell you why they do this, They Just DO.
Enjoyment (5/10)
A fun little anime to watch if you have time to spare...
Check it out, If your looking for randomness in the episodes and just a "day2day" anime, if your looking for deep storyline and rounded characters then this is not the anime for you.

Review : Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry - (Season 1)
An anime that I started watching this morning and finished just recently,
If you haven't seen my first half review, you may want to read it first.

======================================================
Review for Rakudai Kishi no Calvalry (Season 1)
======================================================
Ecchi, Action, Fantasy, School,
Finished this anime and really can't wait for the second season,
In my reviews I expect the reader to know what the anime is about, (At least Synopsis)
If you don't know the about Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry please take the time to read the synopsis on myanimelist.net here.
(SPOILER FREE)
Story 9/10
Great development, Silver Links and Nexus(Riku Misora) has done well with the way the story has moved forward in this season of the anime. The ups and downs of the storyline has been handled very well, Personally kept me eager to watch the next episode. Though it may be labelled as Harem, And honestly looking at the main cast (quite a number of girls) one may assume so, But the story develops in a better way than that,
Art 8/10
If you were to read my previous reviews done in this format the score of 9 or 10 is reserved for anime's with unique art styles that "work" , Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry gone for a very standard art style and like what I said in my first half review has met the "Standard Style". This does not add nor take away from this anime's quality.
Sound 10/10
The voice acting (Japanese Dub) and sound effects have been done well. The voices fit their characters and personality very well
Character 10/10
There is always a possibility that another anime may have better character development than this, But in my personal opinion, It's probably because of personal experience that these characters seem so life like to me, Where I can relate what they feel and understand their coarse of action on a personal level.
The characters have been done in a way that easily allows the viewer to understand them as individuals and understand the emotions they feel.
Enjoyment 10/10
There are anime out there that are better than this and some may not feel the same way when watching it, Though in my personal experience watching the season, I had a blast, There were moments to feel shocked,anger,sadness, and even a little bit of laughter. There might have been some disappointing moments for those looking for some more action but the 'logic' behind it backs up everything that happens.
===============================================
I hope my little review encourages you to watch this anime,

Review : Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry - (Season 1 First Half) (Episodes 1 -6)
Though this anime is already completed, I would like to write a review on my experience of the first half,
Spotted this anime on the front page of Kissanime.to
================================================================
Review for Rakudai Kishi no Calvalry (First Half - Episode 1-6)
================================================================
Ecchi, Action, Fantasy, School
First things first, I have to say I really enjoyed the first half, If this review seems rushed it probably because I can't wait to continue watching the rest of the season,
Though like my other reviews I assume you know what Rakudai Kishi no Calvalry is about.
If not please visit the Animelist page here.
(SPOILER FREE)
So the main reason I really enjoyed this anime thus far is the development of the story,
Though the characters may seem cliche, and follow some personality "types". Which character types well you would just have to watch it,
The main plot of the story is in no way unique but the way the anime(writers) is not afraid to move it forward is great, If your looking for an anime that will last 7000 episodes then this is not the anime for you, But if your looking for an anime that would develop and end then this is a great watch.
The way the characters and their relationship develops with some personality traits that are shown to the viewers in a very true to life sort of way, Though of coarse exaggerating it just enough to keep things enjoyable.
The art style is up to par with the "Standard Style" for anime, and the voice acting has been done well. (Japanese Dub).
The 6th episode ended with a little bit of a cliff hanger so I will be completing the rest as soon as possible, Though of coarse this is just the first half of the season for me, and if your not encouraged to watch it yet, Then my review of the full season will be out soon, As well as the full season review of Shomin Sample in which the final episode is premiered today.

Situation Review - Shonin Sample
WARNING : SPOILERS AHEAD
So this is another thing I would like to write about since reviews are mostly about the anime and story and stuff like that.
Instead this would be a situation review, Where I write random stuff about the situation that the main character has been put in. There will be spoilers in this obviously but mostly spoilers of the situation that the main character is in and not really on the progress of the story.
=========================
Situation Review - Shomin Sample
=========================
The Situation
So a usual day in school and you were kidnapped by a group of large muscular men, You were then dropped of at the gates of an all-girl school, You are forced to stay enroll into the school as a student and your contact to the outside world is kept to a minimum (to keep the school a secret).
A school of rich girls, All well maintained and well mannered, The problem at the school is that when the girls graduate from the school and move to the real world, they experience a sort of culture shock and isn't able to cope with the real world.
So you are brought to the school as a "Commoner" though it may sound like a down-grading title, The girls in the school are most intrigued by you and want to learn all about you "Commoners". A sample of how common people act and behave. A way of preparing the girls for the real world. Sounds like a really dumb solution for the problem but this was the schools way of solving it.
So why did they pick you, well because you are completely average in everything...
But also according to your childhood friend you have a muscle fetish.
Each student has a maid assigned to them, And the maid assigned to you already hate you for some reason :/ . and can't wait to cut your genitals out when she finds out your not interested in muscle men.
The Review of the Situation
Well doesn't that sound great, Forcibly enrolled into a school where all the girls are so innocent and well mannered, Not only that but because you are a "Commoner" you are instantly the main interest to all the girls in the school. Makes me want to give every girl a hug just to see their over-exaggerated reaction to what would be something very normal to us.
Oh but there is a problem with the situation, The reason they picked you is because the school believes you have a muscle fetish (this is true) but not the way they believe it to be, You like girls thighs, But the school thinks you like large muscular men. (They think you are gay). Of coarse in a school of innocent girls they wouldn't just introduce a pervert into the mix to tarnish the purity of the girls. If they find out you are not gay, they will be forced to cut off your man parts to protect the girls purity. You already know the existence of the school so they cant just toss you for another sample.
Though like in my review of the first half of this anime, They kinda put most of this situation on the back burner and add little situation here and there. It's a shame the situation doesn't actually play much of a part in the first half of the anime and rather was just a way of setting up the main character a reason to be in an all-girl school.
So would you want to be in this situation?
Force to enroll into an all-girl school, Where you are instantly the most popular guy,
But with the drawback of having to not show too much interest in girls.
(And show interest in large muscular men).
Doesn't sound that bad right? Especially when all the girls are so friendly.
But beware of the maid assigned to you who might be watching your every move =-= .

Review : Shomin Sample ( Season 1 First Half ) (Episodes 1 - 6)
Finally back and able to spend some time to watch some anime, Spotted this on the front page of Kissanime.com. The last episode would be (should be) out next week on the site.
==================================================
Review for Shonin Sample (First Half - Episode 1-6)
==================================================
Harem , Comedy , Ecchi
So I will assume that you already know what Shonin Sample is about.
If not please visit the Animelist page here.
(SPOILER FREE)
Shonin Sample like other harems, it puts our main character in a situation where there are girls all around him. The first six episodes plays out like a day to day adventure anime with a progressing main story-line, Though I do enjoy how unique the situation the main character has been put in though story doesn't seem very interesting (yet).
It is a comedy harem though and in that aspect it has done well to make me laugh from time to time,
In terms of character development most of the characters seem strangely flat, They do what most anime's do an introduce the characters at a steady pace but there is little development of their character.
At this point of the season (half way through) as a viewer there are only three main characters who we see development in (out of the five), Though not much. This girl likes him, this other girl likes him we learn a little bit about the girl and that's about it. I'm actually mostly disappointed by how one of the "main characters" is treated like a filler in this first half. (Jinryou, Karen) Hope to see more development in the second half.
The art style is good and meets the "Standard style" for anime's (If you have watched other anime's and you see an episode of this, you would know what I mean by "Standard Style"). The voice acting in Japanese have been done well,
So this is my review on the first six episodes there is six more episodes for this season, So I'm hoping it will turn for the better from here on out. The six episode actually ended on an interesting so I am looking forward to continue watching this.
The last episode (ep.12) comes out Dec 23rd 2015. So if this review made you curious on what I'm talking about then go a head and take a peek.

Review : Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio : Ars Nova (Arpeggio Blue Steel)
Going to try to write this one in paragraphs instead of the separated categories like I usually do, those who find those sort of reviews more helpful ill leave a version of that review on the bottom
===========================================
Review for Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio : Ars Nova (Arpeggio Blue Steel)
===========================================
At the beginning I personally was not used to the mix of the 3D animation and sort of 2D backgrounds and sort of thought the character's movements were very stiff. Though as watch more this will bother you less and less till the point you don't notice anything wrong with it. The Main characters have been developed well, the supporting cast is really strong and may as well be mains.
An anime that at first glance may seem like it would become a harem but it doesn't and though this may seem disappointing for some it actually develops quite nicely all the characters have their reasons for their actions and they are'nt all after our protagonist.
The sound has been done well all the voice acting is great, the sound effects for all the naval battles meet 'quality standards' as to say, I'm sure you would have heard them elsewhere.
I personally enjoyed the anime and personally feel there is room for a season 2 but the season closed in a way where it is not needed, Looking forward to the movie.
=============================================
Review done in my usual category type: (for those who prefer it that way)
Story : 8/10
The story played out in this anime may not be unique but it has been executed very well, Lots of ups and downs and very little down time from the action. So if your looking for advance tech naval strategies this is the anime for you.
Art : 8/10
The art style is essentially 3D Characters, 3D Ships, 2D backgrounds (it seems to be I'm quite sure it is). The 3D characters threw me off a bit during the first episode as the characters movements seemed stiff and not fluent. Though its like they changed artists after the first episode and the art feels better after the first episode. 3D ships well personally I feel this may be the only way to get some really cool naval battle action and its very well done.
Indoors and basically when they are not on the ship the backgrounds are 2D the characters may seem 2D during these scenes as well. Messy start but works well as you continue to watch.
Sound : 10/10
Great voice acting, Good sound effects. The sounds reach 'quality standards' as per say. Done really well I'm sure you heard some of the effects used in other things.
Characters : 8/10
The Main characters have been developed well and the supporting cast is also quite developed and strong, They may as well all be main characters in this. Happy to say there is only one love triangle and the other girls have their own reasons for their actions.
Enjoyment : 8/10
Personally enjoyed watching our protagonists solve problems and how all the naval action is done, The story was enjoyable to watch and I'm looking forward to watching the upcoming movie.

The Main characters have been developed well and the supporting cast is also quite developed and strong, They may as well all be main characters in this. Happy to say there is only one love triangle and the other girls have their own reasons for their actions.
Enjoyment : 8/10
Personally enjoyed watching our protagonists solve problems and how all the naval action is done, The story was enjoyable to watch and I'm looking forward to watching the upcoming movie.

CSGO : Basic Guide to Silvers
If your stuck on Silver Ranks, It only means two things.
Personally I think as long as you have most basic ability of aiming, game sense is more important.
1a) Know your callouts
Though the listed guide is abit old and different regions seem to have different names for each place learning the most basic callout's will help you inform your team of the enemies location. The more advance call outs you learn the more you can pinpoint exactly where the enemy is, Of coarse knowing your callouts mean you understand what your teammates mean when they say different things. If unclear explain after the round ends to the teammates what you meant by the callout.

1. Your aim is off
2. You have little to no game sense
Personally I think as long as you have most basic ability of aiming, game sense is more important.
AIM
====
Something you can always improve, There are a number of maps that can help you train your aim but before we get to that a few things to check.
1) Make Sure Mouse Acceleration is OFF
In CSGO, Under the Options > Keyboard/Mouse > Mouse Acceleration.
If you have been playing with this On, you might find it very hard to get used to any sensitivity.
Mouse acceleration basically moves makes your crosshair move faster/slower depending on how quickly you move the mouse,
2) Find your most preferred Sensitivity.
You can change your sensitivity in two ways, through the menu (Options > Keyboard/Mouse > Mouse Acceleration) or through the developer console with the command 'sensitivity_(number)' replace the underscore '_' with a space and replace (number) with a number.
Lower sensitivities are normally recommended since it's easier to developer muscle memory over a larger movement, Your mouse pad from the left side to the right side should be 170°, There is never a need for a 360° (In CSGO if someone is behind you, your basically dead). Gaming Mousepads are quite large and if you are a wrist aim then try to find a sensitivity that feels most comfortable. Though moving the mouse with your forearm has its advantages.
3) Headshots or nothing
This may be aiming high and some may prefer to learn spray patterns first though training yourself to get that one click or double tap is the best way to go, Remember to relax this is just a game, Panic shooting when you spot the enemy is the best way to lose a firefight, remember shooting 15 rounds around the enemy doesn't do anything other than reveal your location. Two shots to the head is enough for any weapon.
Reflex Map : A great map to practice clicking on heads.
4) Spray Patterns
It's useful to know but remember distance changes the amount of compensation you need to make.
Like dragging down after your first few shots, though up close dragging down from the head to the lower torso is enough, further away it's always better to burst fire, and remember number 3,
5) Know your Map, Know your Corners (Cursor Placements)
The biggest problem Silver's don't know they have, Pre-Aim at the corner your going to peek,
before peeking out of cover, aim at the place you plan to peek, there are only a number of places players tend to be at any point at the map and knowing these points allow you to place your cursor right on them before you even see them,
Another cursor placement tip : learn how tall players are at different angles and different locations, this way you only have to adjust your horizontal aim when you spot an enemy, every less millisecond you spend aiming is your advantage.
Training Aim V2
This map is essentially a down range shooting gallery, It has some preset practices you can do, Great map to get used to your sensitivity,
GAME-SENSE
============
Game sense do you have it?, Are you the first to rotate when your teammate spots one player on the other site. Though this is not something anyone can teach you, We can merely advice you on what to look up.
1) Know Your Map
Playing one map over and over again isn't a bad thing, Personally I only play De_Dust2 because it's the only map I can get 60fps online (sadly not even stable 60fps).
But learning and knowing the map well gives you that edge against your Silver Peers.
1a) Know your callouts
Though the listed guide is abit old and different regions seem to have different names for each place learning the most basic callout's will help you inform your team of the enemies location. The more advance call outs you learn the more you can pinpoint exactly where the enemy is, Of coarse knowing your callouts mean you understand what your teammates mean when they say different things. If unclear explain after the round ends to the teammates what you meant by the callout.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=157442340
1b) Know how to use your grenades (Smokes,Flashes,HE & Molly's)
There are a lot of guides out there and here is just one of them
Smokes : Learning how and where to throw smokes is essentially an easy advantage to gain against your enemies, Smokes to block a certain entry point into a site and Smokes to block a rotation. Both CT's and T's will find strategic smokes very helpful. Other then smoking mid Silver's don't seem to take advantage of this $300 nade.
Flashes : The most effective flash last for 3 seconds, which happens when the player is looking towards the flash and is nearby to the detonation of the flash, looking even 90° can really lessen the effects of a flash.
Learn how to throw effective flashes and warn your team where you are flashing, Firstly there are two ways you want to throw a flash, Giving the enemy either the least amount of time to react to a flash or giving the enemy the most amount of time to react to a flash.
Now giving the enemy the least amount of time to react to a flash, commonly called "Pop-Flashing" google up some pop flashes on your favorite maps and your sure to find guides and videos about it.
Over the Shoulder Flash :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVK7Z9Y4hKQ
Now giving the enemy the most amount of time to react to a flash, this is something I like to do and I'm sure probably a lot of higher ranks as well, Can be done on most corners,
Throwing a flash against a wall (near a corner) at a 45° angle, So that the flash detonates behind you when you peek the corner, (I'll try to get a sample image soon),
Throwing a flash against a wall (near a corner) at a 45° angle, So that the flash detonates behind you when you peek the corner, (I'll try to get a sample image soon),
HE (Heavy Explosive): Learn how to throw it, Learn where to throw it, that's about it with HE's,
It doesn't do 100 Damage to anyone unless your lucky enough to hit some unarmoured player in the head before it explodes at their feet.
Molotov / Incendiary Grenade : Throw it to slow down enemies, Lasts 7 seconds, Molotovs are cheaper and ignores armour, Incendiary's are more expensive and does less damage to armoured players. Though it probably won't happen IRL molotovs have a certain amount of time before they explode mid air explosions = wasted molly.
1c) Choosing to pre-fire corners, Checking corners
As a lurker on T side, this may probably be where I get a lot of my kills, ( I will get some images of lurk positions I like to play on Dust 2).When rotating Silver CT's always seem to forget about checking corners, most will be running to the other bomb site with their knives out even without prior information of where the enemy is.
Between the time the enemy secures the bomb site and plants the bomb, You should already be rotating checking the corners in your way, with 45 seconds most of the time you have the time to quickly check the corners on the way.
Knowing where the enemy like to lurk is a great way of telling you what corners to pre-fire,
Pre-firing is simply fire at a corner as you peek it, normally your reaction time is slower when in-mind you are waiting to see an enemy before firing, Place your cursor at the corner you are planning to peek and when you peek it, fire a couple rounds at the corner, if someone is there they will have less time to react to your peek and if there isn't you wasted a couple rounds doesn't matter. (Obviously the CZ-75 shouldn't be used to pre-fire corners though this is where your game sense comes in, If there is normally a player there shooting 4-6 rounds at the corner will most likely get you that kill,)
1d) Don't rotate till you/ your teammates see the bomb.
The biggest mistakes silver's tend to make is rotating to a lurker, Hold the sites till you or your teammates spot the bomb, Then after your team spots the bomb you should immediately know where to rotate too, Remember 1B while rotating, Once you and your team surrounds the area where the bomber is, There's a choice of action and things to think off,
How Many Enemies do I think is in this area, How many enemies have been spotted or heard in this area? Where are the Enemies currently looking?
depending on the situation you can either hold a corner where they will have to pass by you to rotate, or push in to get shots at their backs while their pre-occupied shooting your teammate.
depending on the situation you can either hold a corner where they will have to pass by you to rotate, or push in to get shots at their backs while their pre-occupied shooting your teammate.
Once your team has control of the bomb, Another decision comes to mind.
Guard or Hunt?
Now the questions that will help you decide,
How many player's are left on each side?
How is the economy of your team? Can you afford to re-buy or buy for a teammate that needs it? Can you do both? How valuable to my team is the weapon I currently hold?
How is the economy of your team? Can you afford to re-buy or buy for a teammate that needs it? Can you do both? How valuable to my team is the weapon I currently hold?
Depending on where the bomb is dropped, How many angles are there to cover? Do they need me to hold an angle?
Depending on the situation you will decide whether or not to hunt, and this is where your game sense comes in, Where could he be hiding which angle is he watching, No one can teach you game sense and you can only get better my playing.
2) Communication is Key
If your team doesn't communicate you allow that enemy lurker to get extra kills, if your team doesn't communicate rotations are more dangerous and slower as teammates have to be more cautious of the unknown location of the enemy force,
Report to your teammates where you have seen or heard the enemies, If you have spotted the bomb and such, and even after death spectate your teammate who doesn't communicate and be his eyes to the team,
Watch as your team play more confidently when they know exactly where the enemies are,
If you have teammates that don't communicate then ask for information, another thing is to tell them to do their best or simply say nice try if they fail to clutch a round, Punishing your teammates will cause most players to become unresponsive.
Another part of communication is trust, Do you trust your teams information, Do they trust you with yours, At the very low silver rankings its hard to find reliable information and players don't seem to listen to others, Continue giving information to your team either way, As the rounds go by and you have been making correct calls, they will start listening to you more,
I have noticed Silver's who don't have in-game voice on and that might be a reason why they aren't listening to you, Cause they can't hear you. Before the match make sure your team has it on,
USE YOUR MIC ONLY TO GIVE INFORMATION DURING ROUNDS
Only talk to give information you can leave comments after the round and before the next, Nobody wants to hear you laugh, scream, panic over the mic, Report the enemies location then repeat your report one more time. Enough.
3) SOUNDS, SHADOWS & GUN BARRELS
A lot of Silver's seem to disregard listening to footsteps and their really long barrel, Shadows you need to use at your advantage.
3a) SOUNDS
Running on different surfaces will allow players nearby to hear your footsteps, Slightly different footstep sounds on different surfaces, Walking (Shift Default) will lessen your footsteps to almost nothing.
Jumping up doesn't make a sound but the drop down after a jump makes noise.
Shift Jumping gives you a little higher jump, shifting again while in the air then letting go just before you hit the ground seems to lessen drop down noise.
Another sound you can hear is weapon pickup sounds, When a player picks up a weapons or nades off the floor without shifting you can hear a certain pick-up noise, If they swap weapons you can hear both pick-up noise and probably the other gun hitting the floor. Picking up items while shifting will create a sound which can only be heard by you.
3b) SHADOWS
Know your points in the map where your shadow is visible before you are.
For Example : A Long Doors on Dust2, and aggressive angle a CT and play inside A Long doors, watching that angle allows him to see your shadow before you pass the doors, meaning he is ready to shoot before you even know if there is someone there.
It's an advantage that exists in the game so take advantage of it.
3c) GUN BARRELS
Wondering how the enemy knew you where there before you even push the corner, or how he pre-fired before you even pass the door, He/She probably saw your gun before you,
Most rifles are quite long and can be seen even if you are hiding in a corner, One way to combat this is to face the wall. The Snipers (Auto,Awp,Scout) and M4A1-S seems to have the longest barrels in the game and must be used with caution when holding or pushing corners.
CONCLUSION
=============
I probably missed some important tips though just knowing these things will most probably help you develop your aim and game sense. If you think I miss something important please feel free to leave a comment.
So the main things to get from this guide.
1) Don't Shoot till you have your crosshair on the enemy. Especially when they haven't seen you,
2) Map Knowledge
3) Taking advantage of sound, A lot of silver makes the mistake of running around when trying to clutch,
Depending on the situation you will decide whether or not to hunt, and this is where your game sense comes in, Where could he be hiding which angle is he watching, No one can teach you game sense and you can only get better my playing.

Review : Upotte!!
Writing a Review for Upotte!!
=====================
Will be writing a paragraphy by paragraph review first, scroll down lower for a broken down version (by category)
In my experience of this anime, I was really put off by the first episode, It gives you that impression that it's going to be some sort of Harem over the Japanese Teacher. Of coarse it isn't even though the synopsis on this site will lead you to think so, (The first episode made me drop the anime for two weeks). The first episode can be treated as an introduction to the characters but is not really that important, (Skipping it won't do much harm)
Upotte!! is a sort of comedic-informative anime about guns, While watching expect to laugh and learn a few things about guns, Another thing about this anime is that it is ecchi (perverted). Though other than what happens in the first episode it is quite tame.
The story isn't anything to be wow-ed over and would'nt really be the main selling point of this anime, Removing the jokes and ecchi scenes from this anime would reveal how boring/plain the story is. But they did well to cover it up, Going into this anime with a neutral mindset will allow you to enjoy the anime for its very cute main characters.
The character's personality can be linked slightly to what gun they are. The art style is nothing new or unique but has been done well enough
(One complain though, These guns have horrible aim when they are under pressure.It was a bit annoying to see when they perform so well in practice)
==============================================
Review divided into categories
Story : 6/10 : Honestly the story isn't all that interesting and the story in each episode can be found in almost every "day-to-day*" adventure anime.
Art : 8/10 : No complaints about the art style, meets a standard quality that allows the viewer to enjoy without a problem. (If you read my other reviews, I rate 10/10 for unique art styles that are well done).
Sound : 9/10 : Personally as long as the sounds are there and syned with the animation's I have no complaints, The voices are well done and really fit each character (Japanese Dub) the sound effects are strange in a few scenes in my personal opinion.
Character : 7/10 : The character's are well designed in aim to please the different types of preferences people may have for anime girls, Though in personality we the viewers know very little about them. Other than their specs and attitude towards others, we know very little and that may cause a certain discontent from the viewers.
Enjoyment : 7/10 : Honestly had a good laugh while watching this anime, Though the first episode put me off from watching it for awhile. The rest of the episodes did well in giving me a laugh and some information about guns.

Kingdom Hearts 3 - It's been 10 years,
"Kingdom Hearts 3 have been an upcoming game
with an unknown release and platform,
There have been a lot of speculation and rumors on the game platforms and when it would be released for the past 6 years but the game is this not on the shelves.Another reason for this may be due to the series creator Tetsuya Nomura's focus on Final Fantasy Versus XIII.
There was a lot of rumor over what platform the game would be on as The Official Playstation Magazine mentioned a possible released date (2009) and said it will be exclusive to the Playstation 3.
TokyoGameShow and 1UP.com said that this was false and was only a rumor.
Shack News also mentioned the game would also be featured on the Xbox360 considering that Final Fantasy XIII was featured on both Playstation3 and Xbox 360.
Even Metro Noted that it may even be released on the Wii or any other next-gen console like Wii-U
Ars Technica's Frank Caron also noted that speculation whether the gap between Kingdom Hearts 1 and Kingdom Hearts 2 would be the same. (A one year gap)(In Story-line)
What To Expect?
There's a lot of fans thinking of what they could expect but IGN's Ryan Clements (a KH Fandom) wanted the third installment to show more romantic relationship between Sora and Kairi , Darker Antagonist and a better Combat System.
Another thing to expect would be the introduction to Marvel Characters in the series as Disney bought out Marvel Entertainment.
So there was some speculation whether marvel character's as well as Marvel Themed worlds in the newer installment. But that's just something to look forward too.
Kingdom Hearts 3 another game that takes too long to be released.
Who knows it may be released together with Diablo III and Half-Life 2: Episode 3.
(Diablo III and Half-Life2:Ep3 are both long awaited titles to be released)"
According to some sites, Should be out by June 16, Though no fixed date has been confirmed yet.
This post on the 30th may
Vine Report
Earlier last year they had a survey asking what the fans would want in the game, (March 2014)
Survey
So will 2015 finally be the year for Kingdom Hearts 3 on the PS4 and Xbone, probably YES.
Some characters are also rumored to make a cameo appearance on the franchise
Captain America, Queen Elsa, Darth Vader, Princess from Tangled and even some characters from "Big Hero 6". Now wouldn't those be some interesting summons,
Maybe a Star Wars or Marvel themed world, Would there be more development between Sora and Kairi.
Really can't wait for the release.

Review : Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Megami-hen (Season 3)
Review for Kami Tomi 3
=============================================
I have already posted a review for the first and second season, if you are reading this you are probably wondering if you want to continue this series or not.
First of all I would recommending watching the following OVA's in order:
Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Flag 0
Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: 4-nin to Idol
Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Tenri-hen
Magical☆Star Kanon 100%
To prepare you for Season 3, I hope you find my review helpful
=============================================
Summary of the Extended Review down below :
Story : Beginning may be confusing, A more serious season compared to the first two, Great Great Ending,
Art :Same as the first two season, Well done, No unique style though this is not a problem
Sound :Voices are done well (Japanese Dub) Sound Effects great
Character : We finally get to see our main character and his true emotions,
Enjoyment : Lack of Ecchi Scenes (Family Friendly), Confused at first though the more serious third season was a great way to end things
=============================================
Full Review
Story : Like what I said about the first season not your normal harem/RomCom anime, Expected that your already watched the first and second season , The beginning of this season may still be confusing even after watching the OVA's you will noticed that some parts of the story has been skipped to reach this arc of the story, I do like how this season was more serious and how the main character's emotions were brought out in such a unique way, I personally loved how they ended this season and this is the first anime that has ever made me want to read the continuation manga chapters (Chapter 189 is the ending of this season), Hoping for a season 4,
Personally a 9 because the start of the season kinda seems to leave the viewers a little confused unsure what we have missed and that actually cause me to put this season aside for awhile, Otherwise the rest of the season smooths out nicely,
Art : Same art style as the first and second season, consistent and there is no problem with that, The art style may be seen as a standard quality for anime's
8/10 like i said before would reserve 10/10 for anime's with unique art styles that works.
Sound : (Japanese Dub) Good work done by the voice actors, the characters sound like they should, (the voice fits the look of the character)
The sound effects are nothing special but they work. 10/10
(May re-watch everything through again in the english dub to rate it, psshh kinda want to watch it again.)
Character : Compared to the first and the second season we learn a lot more about our main characters and in this season it finally allows the viewers to connect to them, again like the second season we learn more about our main characters through the events that take place rather than back-story, to me this is great. 10/10 I wouldn't change anything about it.
Enjoyment : After watching the first and second season I was really looking forward to watching this season, The first episode really left me confused and like I said before it led me to drop watching this season for a week or two, Though as the season goes on it got a lot more serious and I have to say I really enjoyed how the story was went, Personally I loved how the ending was done and it wouldn't need a 4th season, (Even though I kinda want one)
Overall : Would recommend to all my friends who watch anime, Would recommend them to watch it immediately, The first anime that made me want to read the manga. 9/10 This has been a great season and it personally left an impact on how I will watch RomCom's it really was unique (to me). Will always believe that there will be an anime that would top this and missing episodes in between of season 2 and 3 may have cause it to lose its 10/10 for me.

I have already posted a review for the first and second season, if you are reading this you are probably wondering if you want to continue this series or not.
First of all I would recommending watching the following OVA's in order:
Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Flag 0
Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: 4-nin to Idol
Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Tenri-hen
Magical☆Star Kanon 100%
To prepare you for Season 3, I hope you find my review helpful
=============================================
Summary of the Extended Review down below :
Story : Beginning may be confusing, A more serious season compared to the first two, Great Great Ending,
Art :Same as the first two season, Well done, No unique style though this is not a problem
Sound :Voices are done well (Japanese Dub) Sound Effects great
Character : We finally get to see our main character and his true emotions,
Enjoyment : Lack of Ecchi Scenes (Family Friendly), Confused at first though the more serious third season was a great way to end things
=============================================
Full Review
Story : Like what I said about the first season not your normal harem/RomCom anime, Expected that your already watched the first and second season , The beginning of this season may still be confusing even after watching the OVA's you will noticed that some parts of the story has been skipped to reach this arc of the story, I do like how this season was more serious and how the main character's emotions were brought out in such a unique way, I personally loved how they ended this season and this is the first anime that has ever made me want to read the continuation manga chapters (Chapter 189 is the ending of this season), Hoping for a season 4,
Personally a 9 because the start of the season kinda seems to leave the viewers a little confused unsure what we have missed and that actually cause me to put this season aside for awhile, Otherwise the rest of the season smooths out nicely,
Art : Same art style as the first and second season, consistent and there is no problem with that, The art style may be seen as a standard quality for anime's
8/10 like i said before would reserve 10/10 for anime's with unique art styles that works.
Sound : (Japanese Dub) Good work done by the voice actors, the characters sound like they should, (the voice fits the look of the character)
The sound effects are nothing special but they work. 10/10
(May re-watch everything through again in the english dub to rate it, psshh kinda want to watch it again.)
Character : Compared to the first and the second season we learn a lot more about our main characters and in this season it finally allows the viewers to connect to them, again like the second season we learn more about our main characters through the events that take place rather than back-story, to me this is great. 10/10 I wouldn't change anything about it.
Enjoyment : After watching the first and second season I was really looking forward to watching this season, The first episode really left me confused and like I said before it led me to drop watching this season for a week or two, Though as the season goes on it got a lot more serious and I have to say I really enjoyed how the story was went, Personally I loved how the ending was done and it wouldn't need a 4th season, (Even though I kinda want one)
Overall : Would recommend to all my friends who watch anime, Would recommend them to watch it immediately, The first anime that made me want to read the manga. 9/10 This has been a great season and it personally left an impact on how I will watch RomCom's it really was unique (to me). Will always believe that there will be an anime that would top this and missing episodes in between of season 2 and 3 may have cause it to lose its 10/10 for me.

Review : Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai II (2)
Review for Kami Tomi 2
=============================================
I have already posted a review for the first season and if you are reading this you are probably wondering if you want to continue this series or not.
=============================================
Summary of the Extended Review down below :
Story : Similar to the first season, I personally enjoyed the first season more,
Art : Same as the first season, Well done, No unique style though this is not a problem
Sound : Voices are done well (Japanese Dub) Sound Effects great
Character: We get to learn more about our main character, We get introduced to more sub characters
Enjoyment : Lack of Ecchi Scenes (Family Friendly) Funny, Connection to the characters. I personally
preferred the first season.
=============================================
Full Review
Story : 7 / 10
Similar to the first season introducing more characters for our main protagonists to conquer, A new season full of new challenges. I personally would say I have enjoyed the execution of the first season more then this season, I personally enjoyed the range of different personalities that has been introduced in this season. Sad to say not as great as the first season (in my opinion). This great though.
Art : 8 / 10
Same Art style as the first season, like I said in my review of the first season, Similar to the art styles of many different animes, a Standard Quality as to say, Nothing unique, But like I said before "If it's not broken,Don't fix it".
Animation is nice, clean and easy to understand. 8/10 is my standard score for generally well done animation. 10/10 are usually for the anime's that have their own unique art styles that work, (it gives the studio that sort of recognizable style)
Sound : 10 / 10
(Original Japanese Dub) Good work done by the voice actors, the characters sound like they should,(as in the voice fits the look of the character).
The sound effects are nothing special but they work.
(May skim through the series again in the English Dub to rate it)
Character : 9 / 10
In my review of the first season I have said that the main character was mildly developed compared to the subs and I as a viewer felt more connected to the Sub characters. Though in Season 2, they have managed to develop our main character a lot more though not in the plain way of telling us more about him instead we are able to connect with the our main protagonist by watching his facial expressions and actions in reaction to the situations that occur. I personally like the way the developing was done, The sub characters are still as great as the first season,
Enjoyment : 8 / 10
After watching the first season I was really looking forward to this one and it did not disappoint, Though I may say it may have been a little messy in some areas where some things are left unexplained, I have enjoyed it anyway. Scored the same as the first season,
Overall : 8 / 10
Story was executed similarly to the first one, The main characters have been developed a little bit more then how much was done in the first season,

Review : Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai
Review for Kami Nomi
=============================================
Summary of the Extended Review Below:
Story : Liked the sort of many ending type season,
Art : Well done, No unique style though this is not a problem
Sound : Voices are done well (Japanese Dub) Sound Effects great
Characters : Mildly developed Main Characters, Well Developed Sub
Characters
Enjoyment : Lack of Ecchi Scenes (Family Friendly) Funny, Connection to the characters.
=============================================
Full Review
Story : 8 / 10
Not your usual harem anime,It has a great plot though some things goes on unexplained. I personally enjoyed KamiNomi as its like watching the ending of your favourite anime, Where the protagonists finally manages to get the girl as to say. and this anime is filled with those "endings". 8/10
Art : 8 / 10
The art style isn't anything new or unique to this anime as is may as well be similar to any other anime out there, But like I would say "If it's not broken don't fix it". Animation nice and clean, easy to understand , 8/10 is my standard score for a generally well done animation, 10/10 are usually for the anime's that have their own unique art styles that work, (it gives the studio that sort of recognizable style)
Sound : 10 / 10
(Original Japanese Dub) Good work done by the voice actors, the characters sound like they should,(as in the voice fits the look of the character).
The sound effects are nothing special but they work.
(May skim through the series again in the English Dub to rate it)
Characters : 7/10
The Main characters are mildly developed (personal opinion) there is still a lot of room for the viewers to get to know the characters better, The other characters that our main characters interact have their own back-story's and the viewers will actually get to know them better then they know the main characters themselves,( really trying hard to not give any spoilers). 7/10 cause I feel more connected to the sub characters than the main. and would like to see more of them.
Enjoyment : 8/10
I personally enjoyed this from the plot to how it was executed, looking forward to watching the second season. It's refreshing to see a sort of harem slice of life anime not be ecchi for once, Looking forward to watching the next season.
Overall :- 8 / 10
Story was well executed wouldn't have it any other way wish they could have developed their main characters a little more,
Art style nothing new though works well, Sound doesn't need to be any better for the sort of anime it is,voices work well (Japanese Dub).
Characters we well designed left me wanting to see the sub characters get more screen time in the next season. Enjoyment had fun watching it, lack of ecchi scenes makes it more family friendly, 8/10 could be improved in some areas though is a great anime anyway.
