Review of Zetsuen no Tempest (Blast of Tempest)

 The Storyline was actually really interesting, not only was it paced correctly had interesting themes but it also paid homage to William Shakespeare and two of his works; “Hamlet” and “The Tempest”. You had one of characters quote from “Hamlet” and she also said that the situation between the male main characters is similar to a situation in “The Tempest” and you also have the fact that “Tempest” is in the Anime name. I like the fact they had elements of his works in this Anime, although I haven’t read either of the books.

The Animation and Sound was actually pretty good. The Animation never had anything disastrous about it from what I remember and I don’t remember any sound issues either. The first opening song is my favourite song from the whole show. It was addicting catchy and just went well with the Anime and a bonus it was sung in English.

The Characters were all different, that much I can say right off the top of my head. Hakaze was an interesting female character and was really strong willed and never gave up. I felt that this Anime wouldn’t have been complete without this unique compelling character. I didn’t really like Mahiro to begin with as I just felt like he was being a jerk. I know he lost someone precious to him but I don’t know. I did start to like him but I just didn’t like him as much as other characters. Yoshino was an analytical, interesting character who I did actually like from the start but at time wasn’t really sure if he was doing and saying the right thing. I love the fact he was smart but I felt like that dragged him down at times. There are other characters but if I kept typing I will end up going forever.

Overall I really enjoyed this Anime a lot and it was the right amount of episodes. I think at times it was slow but a lot of Anime suffer from that so nothing that surprised me.  I would have loved it if it was English Dubbed but unfortunately it isn’t and I doubt it ever will.

Review of Golden Time

The Storyline wasn’t really unique, everything was little things taken from other Anime to make one Anime with all the elements. But even though I just said that… I really enjoyed this storyline and the whole Anime in a whole. One thing that really impressed me was the way they showed the amnesia problem with Banri, instead of seeing it from others point of views we saw it from his and the way its shown is amazing and I never thought of amnesia like that before.

The Animation and Sound was pretty good and fitted with the Anime very well, although I am little annoyed that the opening song and cover artwork etc. shows Kouko more even though in my opinion out of the three main characters, I felt that Banri was the one it should have centred more around.

The Characters were all pretty unique and different, but some did really annoy me at times, but it normally happens like this in most romance Anime. The main guy Banri, is who I felt sorry for the most, having to start his life from fresh and having people know more about the past you than yourself must be hard and how copes with all that happens during this Anime, I give him a golden star! (get it!?). The main two girls are whom I feel sorry for next… but I felt sorrier for Linda than Kouko. Kouko just annoyed me most of the time, although I do love her with Banri.

Overall I really did enjoy this Romance Anime, but some things were just so much like other Romance Anime that I have seen. I love how it showed things I am used to in a different light.

Review of Gosick

The Storyline is so unique and amazing and addicting and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! As you can tell I really adore this Anime. It was almost perfect, only thing I didn’t like was some of the episodes I found slow or not important and of course some other little things here and there. The pace is great bar those odd episodes.

 

The Animation and Sound was good. The opening songs were really good, but I did like the first ending, but can’t really remember the second ending that well, so not sure on that one. The voice acting was good and each voice actor suited the character that they were voicing.

 

The Characters were all unique and different. The main female character Victorique is so funny with the way she acts with people, especially how she treats the main male character Kazuya. She is very smart & small and with that she’s just the perfect detective. Her half-brother is one of the characters that I despise and hate with all my might.

Overall I really loved this Anime, but a few little things made me rate it lower than I would have liked.
