Death Note

Rating: 9/10

This anime goes into the story about a genius level high school boy named Light. This young man is extremely intelligent and has a very potent sense of justice stemming form the fact that his father is a member of the police force. While light goes about his daily life he finds discovers a peculiar book on the ground that would change his entire life. He opens the book to find a set of rules written down. After carefully analyzing the book and the rules  that came with it Light decides to test  it out on a local criminal. He realizes he can kill anyone by simply writing the name down in the book and specify their cause of death. After killing the first person an investigation begins on the causes of these sudden unexpected deaths. Light also starts to see otherworldly phenomena when he meets a shinigami named Ryuk. This anime is extremely engaging while getting into the really dark topic of murder. The anime starts off with an innocent boy with a bright future and further goes to show how absolute power can corrupt a person absolutely. In terms of the story-line it gets very detailed into each character and how they come to be. The plot is extremely interesting as it is a regular everyday life with the twist of supernatural occurances. In terms of the art the character are very well defined and a lot of detail goes into each character. Each character has a very defined look and personality whereas in other animes side characters look very generic and are simply supporting characters. THe music for the opening song is very catchy and kind of gives you an idea of the situation that is going on throughout the show. Overall this anime is deeply engaging and should be near the top if not at the top of your must watch list. This anime is extremely unique and definitely worth the time you spend watching. 

CLANNAD

Rating: 8/10

This is a  very heartfelt story only because the plot of the story is super realistic and it really goes deep into your emotional core. Starts out with and average guy named Tomoya, from a small town that came from a poor family household. Due to the poor living conditions he is not  the most open guy and his grades aren't that great leading people to think of him as a delinquent type student. In his last year of school he meets a girl named Nagisa who shakes his world. He starts to become friends with her and eventually develop feeling for her. He ends up experiencing new things with her and making new female friends that all start to develop feeling for him. Although he receives all this attention he stays faithful and continues his pursuit of Nagisa. The story goes further into their relationship and the hardships that they are about to and will face as time proceeds.  The story is really bittersweet because it hits really dark parts of a students life that are very relatable which is why you build a really close connection to all the characters in the show. Each character offers their own unique view on life as a high school student which is what makes this story so engaging. The art is decent although it takes some getting used to as most of the characters look similar like in: Higurashi, Soul link etc. The music was OK although n one of my favorite anime singers are incorporated into the anime. The story-line is really well thought out if you account for the plot and the build up. I recommend this anime to anyone looking for a serious and meaningful story as this one really is what in modern days is referred to as a "tear-jerker".

K - Project

Rating: 8/10

This anime was really well thought out actually. Revolves around the research of an unknown phenomenon known as a Damocles Stone that contains really special properties. This unknown phenomenon gave birth to extremely powerful being known as kings that can administer power to individuals to create a clan. Also strains which are people who aren't not part of a clan that posses these mystical powers exist. The story takes place in a setting where people of different clans strains and regular humans all coexist in the world together. A very close friend of the red king gets murdered and they go about trying to figure out who was responsible. The story goes really deep into the history and beginning of the power that is displayed in the show as well as the people that it seriously affected. A guy named Shiro basically gets caught up in the middle of the drama and the story start to unfold. The art is great and the fight scenes are pretty high detail. The conviction of the characters and their beliefs plus the art makes the fight scenes all the more epic as its a very engaging anime to watch. If you like combat and a good story this anime is definitely for you. Also if your into a little  bit of slice of life this is definitely good for you as well as there are a lot of comradery within the clans.

Unbreakable Machine Doll Review

Rating 6/10

The story revolves around a main character that has a deep dark past that he desperately wants to resolve. He obtains a companion (the doll) and they compete in a festival of sorts to have their wish granted. Its pretty bland when it comes to the plot because there isn't really a connection with the character due to the fact that they focus the show on wining a festival. Unlike other combat anime like DBZ where the theme is actual combat this story was supposed to go deeper into the character but since it is centered around combat festival type theme it actually takes away from the real connection with he story. As for the art it was pretty decent I really like the fighting style they have but its still no match for an anime such as FATE. The characters themselves were pretty well developed the main lead has a strong sense of self and purpose but his ideals and message get skewed due to the fact that the entire focus of the show is to win a tournament so his core values and goals get shoved aside. Some of the character abilities are really cool. I would totally recommend watching this anime as a buffer for when you desperately need something to watch while your looking for your ideal anime to watch. This anime is great but not very fulfilling to watch in my opinion which is why I recommend it as a time passer.

Top 3 Anime Currently Airing

BAKI (ONA)

Super intense fighting although to get a better feel of the characters you should watch the previous seasons of Baki. The art takes a little getting used to but the concept of the show is really cool if you like combat style anime. Action packed scenes and really intense emotions from each episode make you crave for more.

The Badminton play of Ayano Hanesaki!

I love a good sports anime every now and then and this one is the shit. Centered around a highly talented high school badminton player named Ayano Hanesaki. Very dramatic scenes and the characters really resonate with you on a personal level. Goes into the mentality of  a talented high school athlete and gets you super riled up.

Lord of Vermillion - The Crimson King

Competition, a deep back story, violence and gore. Need I say more? Give this a shot if you wanna see some awesome fight scenes.
