Review : Charlotte - (Season 1 First Half) (Episodes 1 -6)

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.

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.

If you are interested to watch "Shomin Sample"
Then I recommend kissanime.to.

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.
http://k-radio13-rebirth.blogspot.my/2015/12/review-rakudai-kishi-no-cavalry-season.html

Spotted this anime on the front page of Kissanime.to

======================================================
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,
It was just recently completed Dec 19 2015

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.

If you are interested to watch "Rakudai Kishi No Cavalry"

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.
