This is a spoiler free review! I will shorten the title to "BOA" in this too.
-~Story~- 8/10 (Very good)
The story is way better than seasons two and one. It follows the manga and improves greatly on humor. I saw this movie in a one night special theater showing and when one joke came on, the whole theater and myself were in tears. But, it does have the normal black butler idea of dark, and I hate this word but even edginess. If you are looking for a dark Titanic like anime movie, this is the one to watch.
-~Art/Animation~- 9/10 (Great)
I can't even begin with it,
...
it's so fluid and beautiful to look it. The color pallet consists of monotone colors with a few vivid colors in the mix. If you've seen any Love Live anime (sorry to bring this up, this is just to compare) it has some 3d bits in it, I'm certain this movie has them too. The colors, once again are pretty, but nothing different then we've seen in earlier seasons of the anime.
-~Sound~- 8/10 (Very good)
I barely ever rate sound that high except a view times but this moment it was worth it. The voice acting sounds like the VAs actually got into the character and is greatly approved, again, from other seasons. The only complaint I have is it sounded very loud at some points but maybe that was just because of the place I saw it in.
-~Characters~- 6/10 (Fair)
This is really my only problem with this movie, I was kinda let down by all of this. I can't give out any things about the characters but I will say that 2 of them (that were really important mind you) took the most cliche turns for their character types ever. To be honest, this brought the movie down a whole number grade for me, it totally ruined the plot they set up. These new "personalities" just, I hope they will make a new season either explaining better or just scraping this overused trope.
-~Enjoyment~- 9/10 (Great)
As I said in the characters why it isn't a perfect ten. Besides that, it was awesome! It totally makes up for the garbage of the first two seasons.
-~Overall~- (Very good)
It was a pretty great anime movie! Do I like it? Yep! Will I watch it again, if I can? Yep!
Now here are some answers to some questions you may have:
Should I watch the 3 seasons of the anime first?- Yes you should, a lot of themes from the other parts come back and can get confusing.
Is this movie "Family friendly?"- If you've seen the other seasons, this is a no brainer- of course not.
Where can I find it?- On youtube or AnimeKisa perhaps?

This review will not contain any spoilers! Also, I will shorten the title to "Black Butler" A.K.A the English title.
Story: 5/10 (Mediocre)
Black Butler's premise is pretty simple, Ciel Phantomhive wants to find the person who killed his parents, he uses his demon butler to do so, once that mission is completed the demon (Sebastian) gets his soul. Simple, and quite frankly, a tiny bit boring. This whole idea is stretched out into little mini stories that COMPLETELY stray from the plot and got quite confusing. It isn't until other seasons (the second) that they explore the actually made plot. The humor can fall flat sometimes
...
and it can get boring but it gets faster in the end.
Art: 7/10 (Good)
Black Butler is decently old so the animation/art is just good. There isn't anything that makes it distinctive like Danganronpa, but there isn't anything that makes me want to rip my eyes out like Tenkuu Danzai Skelter+Heaven.. so the art is probably the best thing to be honest.
Sound: 6/10 (Fair)
I feel like the voice actors tried so hard to sound deep in tone but then it just started sounding unnatural and weird. This goes the most for Ciel, a 13 year old boy that the VA tried to make sound so edgy and it became a pain to hear his voice.
Characters: 5/10 (Mediocre)
As I said, made them sound as edgy as possible. The Victorian vibe was kind of okay, also the fact that they were British. But besides that they were pretty basic stereotypes that I've seen dozens of times and I really hated how OP Sebastian was it's just awful. I would rate lower but Lizzy was my favorite, she is cliche happy and cute like but, I felt like there was more to her than, "I lost my parents >;( boo hoo! I'm so edgy and cliche!" sorry, I needed to get that out.
Enjoyment: 5/10 (Mediocre)
This was just something I put on for background noise to be honest. I would fall asleep and have to watch the episode again, I'd hate it. It felt like a chore to watch it, and the third season is AMAZING so going back to this and the second I was so disappointed.
Overall: 5/10 (Mediocre)
Did I like it?.. Meh.. Would I watch it again? No.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you really like the Butler/Maid animes then go ahead watch it, but if you looking for something fast pace, vivid, out of the box, and crazy then this is defiantly not for you.
Thank you for reading, have a good day/night!

This is a spoiler free review! I will also shorten the title by using "Danganronpa the Animation".
Story: 7/10 (Good)
Better than average, not perfect by any means. The story was a basic mystery with a lot of gore. The art style makes the story better in my opinion, but this is a anime that has one overall setup that keeps repeating with different add-ons each time. It's very entertaining to see the interactions between everyone in the eerie setting that it has but the story is just, fine.
Art: 9/10 (Great)
This is what makes Danganronpa amazing in both game form and anime form. The style is what
...
makes it enjoyable the most, every character has a different design that depicts their personality or in this case, talents. The pallet used for the backgrounds are more monotone while the characters have stick out colors that are more vivid. The art alone is a great reason to watch this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The artist for Danganronpa wasn't in the field of anime visuals, he was in sculpting, he tried his best to do the anime art style and that is why Danganronpa has the style that it has!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sound: 8/10 (Very good)
The quality was great, the voice actors were good. There isn't much more that I can say about it without getting into spoilers territory but when "mystery culprits" were found, their voices sounded perfect and fit in with the whole Danganronpa style.
Characters: 9/10 (Great)
I can't even describe how awesome the characters are. All of them have their own personality and don't follow casual anime tropes such as "Tsundere" or "Yandere". Their personalities make them seem actually real, and also very entertaining. Every character has good traits, and bad traits, so there isn't any cliche or OP characters (Which is more in the games but for this anime specifically there isn't). The villain is likeable but at the same time a awful.. creature. My favorite part of this anime was seeing these characters talk to each other and have conflicts seeing how their personalities would go against one another.
Enjoyment: 7/10 (Good)
As I've said before, it is a basic game type anime, but there is something that you need to watch for that I can't say here for spoiler reasons.. but I assure you it does have its own gory violent charm. You just need to watch it for yourself.
Overall: 7/10 (Good)
Not what I dreamed of but it wasn't bad. I wouldn't watch it again but you should. I liked it for the most part because at the end of episodes that's when it would kick off into the violent mess that you probably expected in the beginning. Should you watch this? Yes, yes you should. Even though it has its flaws, it still is a good anime that is worth your time.
Thanks for reading, have a great day/night!

Kakegurui (Compulsive Gambler) Is a another game related anime with a out of a box art style and attracting characters. I will watch the second season (Kakegurui XX) in hopes for it to be like the first! Even though it was great, it has some flaws, here is my review.
Story: 7/10 (Good)
Kakegurui's plot is like Pokemon in a way (more mature of course) with the fact that is consists of many trials of the "Games" within' it. Yumeko Jabami has to prove herself time and time again through gambling however, the games aren't the same each time. Each game there is normally a cheat that
...
Yumeko needs to discover. While the gambling set up is different every time I found it to be repetitive at some times. Besides that, it is a very absorbing story that made me want to watch every episode in a row.
Art: 9/10 (Great)
Everyone was hyping up Kakegurui's art and I first didn't see it in the trailers. Once the gambling begun, I swear I almost jumped up from my seat. Wow. The facial expressions are creepy yet show the characters pride. Often anime sticks to one style. Kakegurui's approach was more humanoid and made for a much more entertaining visual. It really added to the story when it became confusing.
Sound: 8/10 (Very good)
This is just a add-on just to say that there is a lot of, lets just say "weird noises". You may not want to watch this that loud.. But in the terms of quality, it was great, it sounded professional as it should.
Characters: 9/10 (Great)
I have rarely ranked characters this high in any review I've ever done but it was needed, here's why. Every character that had any interaction with Yumeko always start the episode feeling prideful or something along the same line. By the end, they are beat down or feel like a failure. Even though it may be little, this is still character development. The writers managed to do this in a episode. Also, every character has one thing to them even though they are all based around the concept of being compulsive gamblers. These are remember able awesome characters!
Enjoyment: 8/10 (Very good)
Though the concepts could get confusing at times Kakegurui was VERY entertaining. The facial expressions were amazing to see as they weren't recycled and were new every time. Seeing new games and new areas every episode were also incredible. Of course the games could go kind of slow sometimes but towards the end they would kick off and end amazingly!
Overall: 8/10 (Very good, not perfect, but way better than average.)
In the end, I really liked this anime. It had twist and turns, trials for each character, growth, truth, and important messages hidden behind the crazy faces. With all its flaws I believe it still is great, the way it puts itself apart from other anime is crazy, and almost even beautiful. Kakegurui was better than I thought it was, in fact, better than most. If you are reading this to decide if you should watch it, you really should. The amount of hidden symbols in it and values are nuts, I would watch it again, thank you for reading.
