Attack on Kabaneri is one of the most popular shows on spring 2016 with a premise never seen in anime (*cough* Shingeki *cough),edgy scenes and amazing animatation and ost.You clearly see that it's a SnK,with the same staff,the same story,the same studio and so on and so on.
Let's start with the story,the story,it's complete bullshit.Humanity has been taken by titans,sorry,I mean,kabanes and it's living in train stations using trains to move arround
The setting it's really cool.It set in steampunk feudal japan,so it's more attractive than your typical japanese school setting.They use technology which doesn't clash with the time and the social structure it's simliar to
...
feudal one but unfortunatly,it doesn't get explored and it's only used of decoration,it established that there're some groups to fight the zombies and something with the clans families going on but it doesn't get developed and the story only focuses on killing all zombies.The premise is interesting and attractive even though we have seen it a million times already but attractive indeed.
The pacing is really fast but chaotic,since thing move so fast there's no time to let the characters introduced and the events to sink it,so you don't have any clue of what's going on.
The writter is Ichiro Okouchi and this is double-edged sword,on one hand the writter was the same guy who wrote Code Geass and Planetes,on the other hand we wrote Valvrave,and unfortunatly,Kabaneri falls into the latter type.The story abuses the using of cliffhangers and plot twists to make you forget the complete bullshit of the script,Guilty Crown style.
Also,the zombie part is complete bullshit,nobody explains you a shit why they appeared?How?,and you can see,oh but it's a mystery,yeah,well nobody cares about them,at least in AoT they investigated about them and you got some information,eventhough,Eren's basement is still like in another galaxy.In addition,some random weird zombies and powers appeared just like "pum" and when I say that I don't want 2 hours infodump about the zombies but a least some information but no,the zombies only appered and the gigant zombies appeared out of nowhere and nobody explais a shit,the show doesn't care to have a little consistency,so the plot holes were getting bigger and bigger as the show gets dumber and dumber.Moreover,we started with a funny typical zombie apocalypse with trains and we ended with evil guys that want to kill humanity,super kabanes,injections that are power-ups.
Finally,we have the edning that ends this clustter-fuck of story with so many plot holes that it's not even funnywell,I previously explained that we have a bad,1-D guy,well he wants to kill everybody,he has a plan to do it and our MC tries to stop him which ended with him getting stabbed in the heart and threw into the water but he doesn't get killed because plot convenience,so yes he's OP as hell,later on,he appears in an island and he met some characters that disappeared some episodes ago and they went to kill the bad guy and save everyone,but before that,he gets a power-up with an asspull in a form of an injection that we don't know what it is or how they get it,but up to this point is just another plot hole in the story,after our main character got his asspull,he went to fight and he fights the big monster that is the girl that he loves being turned into a big kabaneri controlled by the bad guy but some how our MC saves her by screaming and running towards it.Then,we kills the bad guy and "yaay" everyone is saved and the bad guy followers' joins the good guys to go to the city that was supposed to be main objective of the series but they go together like nothing happens,it's not like they hijacked the train ruling them and even killing some of them.
To sum it up,the story it's a complete trainwreck.
The art and animation are amazing,WIT Studio is well know for making really well animated series like Attack on Titan and the Rolling girls.
The aesthetics pretty cool,because of it's setting the series has a really cool steampunk feeling to it
The charcter design is pretty as hell,even the zombies are beautiful,well,that's not true,but the character design is indeed really well done and we have here some waifu and husbando material
Also,there're a lot of character expression and setting details that make the inmersion even further.
The animation it's amazing with a level of quality which most studios are unable to produce,been only comparable to ufotable or KyoAni shows,the action is fluid and clean,the action is amazing and excites you,thanks to the animation and Araki's style,being the same as Death Note or Shingeki.
In conclusion,the animation and art are great and the best aspect of the show and thanks to the good staff it's enjoyable by itself
The sound is also really well done,let's start with the OP and ED
The OP was fine,the action excites you and the song was sung by EGOIST and is really catchy and lovely
The ED is amazing,the visuals are breaththaking and stunning with an amazing song sung by Chelly and Aimer attached to it.
The ost was composed by Sawano,the guy that gave us a collection of unforgettables soundtracks like the Shingeki ones or like the Guilty Crown ones,so yeah,it's good,it makes you excited for the action scenes and added to the great handling of them of Araki.
The sound is also get handled like to noises that the guns make and the trains,when they stop and its moving,the details aren't overlooked
The voice acting is also good,with the same seiyuu for our MC as the AoT MC,so there's a lot of screaming,the seiyuus did a good performance.
The sound department is really well done as well,like animation.
The characters are by far the worst aspect of the show.They're a boring copy-paste of the shingeki cast,the MC who wants to kill'em all(Ikoma),the super op girl that is interested on the MC (Mumei),etc,etc.They're one-dimentional and forgettable and most of them are annoying clichés like the rich and fragile girl.The characterization is also bad,because os the AoT syndrome,most of them are killed and the story and the "kill of the zombies" is the focus and nobody cares about the characters.The story also tries to add tension making you feel that nobody is safe but you clearly see that's bullshit,since the main cast is plot armor and op as hell and since this show suffers from the AoT syndrome,a lot of people die,so you won't care about them,only about their deaths,so the characterization doesn't existed.Moreover,the development is nonexistent,because the only thing that matters is the spectacle.You won't care about the characters,tou only will care about their deaths.Also,most of the characters aren't fleshed out in any way,they remain as cliches but to be honest,Mumei,gets some flesh out in the form of a flashback showing as how traumatic was her past but the character moves from a dynamic woman to a imoto thing,so her character suffers from a character regresion,ending the show like a damsel in distress like it's a LN adaptation.Then,we have Ani-sama,the evil bad guy with no redeeming cualities.
So,at the end of the day,we have a boring cast full of walking cliches and without any character development or fleshing out.
In conclusion,this show is a trainwreack (no pun intended) scriptwise but thanks to the pretty impresive animation and music it's really enjoyable
In the end,we have a show with really good production values but a bullshit script.
If you want something like AoT but with the consistency of Guilty Crown,go for it to rest that doesn't want dumb entertainment,stay the fuck away
Overall,I give this anime a 3 out of 10
For similar shows you can go Attack on Titan,for a zombie apocalypse and for cluster fuck of random bullshit with good production values you can go for Guilty Crown or Valvrave.

Mayoiga is a show that gives meaning to the term "so bad,is not even funny to watch".
Mayoiga is a show that aired on the Spring 2016 and belongs to the horror,mystery,psychological and drama genres and It manages to fuck up every one of them,later on I'll further in that claim when I start talking about the story,and it's sad,since I love those genres and those combained could create masterpieces,but since you've guessed it,that's not the case of Mayoiga.
Mayoiga's story is pathetic.
Anime original story are really rare on modern anime,it's really weird to watch shows that are not based on a manga,light novel or porn novel,but
...
they're really ambitious.They try to present new and original stories with can be executed out brilliantly ot can became a flop and Mayoiga falls on the later category.
We have a really unique premise of a group of people travelling to a village,which according to legends doesn't exist,to start a new life.It's really interesting and very uncommon in anime,since there are not teenagers in a highschool.Moreover,you expect some metaphysical thing like it's the afterlife.The premise is really good,but unfortunatly,the rest is really crappy.
The pacing is atrocious,we start very slow,like a good mystery does and then it sinks,in favour of showing you crazy people being crazy doing crazy things and the story gets forgotten,then it starts going on circles on the same point "That character is a witch!1!!!","We must kill her" getting focused in showing you over the top things,eventually,it becomes a clustterfuck of asspulls and revelations with no point at all.
But these elements aren't the worst thing that the story has to show you,the worst aspect is the story itself.
I've commented about the originalty of the premise,and the story doesn't have secudary highschools with mobiles phones and rainbow haired characters,unfortunatly,these are its only good aspects.Trying to describe all the atrocites it does to storytelling but let's try it.
The story starts with our cast going on to a lost village by bus,on the first episode they introduce all the cast and because they're like 25,you won't remember any name,they sing creepy songs and there is a creepy atmosphere going on.On the next episode,the cast reach to the village and there is a mystery about its abandonment because there are some furniture and recient things on the houses,they go to investigate it and someone disappears because he split apart from the group with a gril that he liked,so she gest blamed.From this point the show starts to go downhill so fast and so hard that it hurted.We have a witchhunt,supernatural things that are supposed to be the mental scars,and the idea of fighting your own fears but this concept is made badly since the you can create super mega mosters just because.These beings,also,don't let them go away,but some have,some don't have anmd it's crazy how the work.In addition,the story is full of shock factor and victimazing,showing you the past of some characters "how the parents hit you while laughing","the world doesn't understand me",etc.
At the end of the day,we have a story,that is a dynamic show with the same thriller and pyschological weight like Mirai Nikki,because it tries to be a serious and mature show but it never becomes that it wants to introduce the biggest number of supernatural and over the top elements as it can.
Finally,I want to talk about the ending since it was the final nail on a dead show.They asspull a final boss that turns out to be the researcher of the guy that wanted to stop all the nonsense and rescue everyone,since according to him,you start to lose feelings after staying on the village for to long,and she wanted to create a big moster to help him to regain his feeling,then the monster of the girl that everyone hated appears to help her to make her,the people that you though they were dead,appeared out of nowhere,and some of them united to the final boss that is a cute girl,yes,in the end,some people stayed because they were afraid of coming back to real world and some went to the real world,eventhough,some of them wanted to go away,but don't ask cuestion.
At the end of the day,we have a show that promised you to be a survival mystery or an unintentional comedy in the likes of Another but ended being a clustterfuck of nonsense and a insult to logic or storytelling
The art & animation is mediocre
The animation was handled by Diomedea known for Campione,Noucome,KanColle or Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?
The art is as bland as you ever hope to be,there is no life in it,they seem to be made on an assembly line without any passion or vision.It's nice to the eye,since it isn't ugly and is indeed kind of moe and cute but there isn't any personality or anything,so,the art is generic and bland but nice to the eye,but to be fair,the monsters are really original and something to stick out of the art,they combine live-action and animation making it really experimental and unique.
The animation is nothing spectacular,the movements are fluid and the cgi is bad.
The character designs are bland are really generic,they have nothing special that defins them,the same goes to the backgrounds.
To sum it up,the art & animation is bland
The sound is nice and is the best aspect of the show
The OST is really good,on a horror show the OST is not for showing how amazing it's or making epic moments,is there to help to the atmosphere,making it creepy and this soundtrack does it wonderfully,but there's a silly track that ruins the atmosphere with dramatic sounds.
The OP is really amazing,the visuals are really good,they help to reflect all the psychological conflicts and backdrops of the characters with good metaphores like butterflies.Moreover,the song is really good,so we have here one of the best opening of the spring and you only wish that show would be the same.
The ED is forgettable,it shows you the characters and it's accompanied by a guitar song which is really relaxing but there is nothing special about it.
The voice acting is correct.
The charcters are the worst aspect by far,they are so generic that it's really hard to talk abou them,they fairly one-note and they can be describe in one sentece.
Mitsumune is the main character,he has a pure heart and loves Masaki
Masaki is a shy girl that likes Mitsumune,she's messed up.
Hayato is a yandere.he loves his best friend,Mitsumune.
Koharun is the "final boss",she likes Valkana and she plans to save her dad,most of the show,she's a mystery
Dahara is the guide and likes Koharun
Valkana is an angry guy,but to be fair,he's the most likeable one and his backdrop has some sense.He's the best character in the show.
Lion is your Rei Ayanami clone with some supernatural powers.
Love-pon is crazy as shit,she's really hateable,and you want to punch her on the face.
Nanko is a detective,she's really interesting,since he has got some character but she doesn't get fleshed out in any way,so she ends being a likebale supporting character that would be better if she wasn't on this show,like Valkana
Maimai is a tsundere and she like the MC
Jack is psycho.
Hyouketsu no Judgness is pathetic,he tries to be funny or something but it's annoying
Mikage is frustated business man.
Nyanta is cat girl that loves guns and the same goes to Jigoku no Gouka (but he is not a cat boy)
Manabe and Pii-tan are the "cute" couple that is really cheesy.
Dozaemon likes to eat and is a NEET
Nettaiya is hot blonde girl,so as you expected is dumb as well,because of clichés.
The rest don't have any a cliché to define them.
Moreover,the character don't have any development or got flesh out in any way.The maximum amount of care they have is a flashback showing how sad is their life.
In the end,we have a boring and generic cast with no charm or carisma or anything.
In conclusion,Mayoiga is a boring show with a stupid story,bland art,nice soundtrack and a boring and generic cast.It's not even the case of Big Orderi,where is so bad that is funny,is really bad,being funny in stupidness but unfortunatly is not the case,so we have a boring and bad show that's not good even in dumb entertainment.
Overall,I give Mayoiga a 2 out of 10

This may contain spoiler,but who care bause you've already heard that this show it's the worst thing ever which it's not actually,but I don't think it should be recommend,but if you want to see it,feel free,even tough,the ending has been spoiled till the end.
I don't know how I ended watching it,well it's well done,so I felt him interested,even though I herad it's one of the worst animes ever,well It's not that awful,the main problem it's that the staff it's incompetent.
Anyway,let's go to the point.
Story-2
School days's a breakdown of the harem genre,it's an adaptation of a VN,it starts like lovely-dooly story with our harem cunt lead,Makoto
...
Itou,being in love with a girl,Kotonoha,who goes on the same train that him,and he gets help by another girl,Sekai,who happens at the end to be on love with him.
So we have a typical love triangle,but after this point it gets,kind of confusing.
Another girl appears,she's makoto's child friend and she's in love with her,(wow,what a twist) and the end having sex.
Then,Sekai's best friend wants Makoto to be faithful to Sekai and decides that the most convinient way to get it's to fuck him,and going to France like 1 day or a few hours later.
After all,a another girl ends having sex with him,and the 3 bitches wanted to have sex with him.
After all this shit and soap opera,the ending happens,that pleased me on a great way,what happened?
Well,Makoto gets killed by Sekai,then Kotonoha killed Sekai,this can sound meh,but let me explain you.
Makoto dated Sekai while he was with Kotonoha because the shortest way to fuck it's to Sekai's pants,he ignored Kotonoha,making look her like a psycho stalker,she bacame humillated and bullied by her classmates,raped by the only guy that seems to go to the school except of Makoto and she became insane,(which stupid,because you only dated him 3 times),Sekai got "pregnant" (at the end) by Makoto and he didn't get any kind of responsability,insted he continued fucking girls.
The ending,it's bloody and shocking but claps for anyone,and if everyone should noticed,yes the setting it's in a highschool.
Like I said,the story is a descontruction a degenaration but I think,you should play the VN before see the anime,because the VN it's a whole breakdown of the genre (kind of fucked up) but I think you shoul warned that it's a hentai game.
Art & Animation-3
Produced by TNK (Highschool DxD)
On a school anime,the animation it's not the main point,so it's average at best,but it shines on the ending.
The character designs don't appeal me,the backgrounds are plain and generic at best
The animation's tough on it's few movement,but it really gets better at the end,however it's bad,with the best moments being average.
Sound-6
The ost it's forgettable with the endings songs being the only tracks that truly shine and gives the scene any kind of emotion
The opening it's okay nothing awful but nothing great,with a decent song and good visuals.
The ending it's skipable,with a meh song and chibs,can be funny but that's all.
Character-1
The characters are horrible,embarassing,bad,painful,with the common sense of a brick and the dignity of a pencil,ops,a pencil has more dignity that them.
Makoto: bastard in big capital shining pink capital letters,he hasn't got any kind of respect to the girls,his personality it's as appeling as a picture of the most annoying kid that you'd ever thing,he's not even good looking,so what is it so attractive of him? his unexsitance beauty,his great personality or his way of being a great son of a bitch.You're better dead,bastard.
Kotonoha: your typical innocent,fool,cute girl who's the main interest of the biggest bastards of the world,you feel bad for her because she didn't actually do nothing bad,until you find out she beacme insane about a guy she barely know of 3 dates and more or less the same conversations.
Sekai: she can be described as tsundere-chan doesn't know what the fuck she wants and she's not pregnant.
Kiyoura: aka Rei Ayanami it's travelling to France so,before leaving,let's have sex.
Otome: childhood friend-chan it's a fucking bully
Nanami: senpai notices her,so she became so greateful that she sucked his dick.
Hikari: she liked the other only guy on the school,(at least it's what the anime makes you believe,as all harem are for) but being the sexfriend of the main character helps her to be with the other guys,seems like.
Sawanaga: main character's best friend,who is a perverted (as all friends are there for) crushed on kotonoha,so rape her,yes!,please go to hell.
The three other bitches: you don't know why are there,maybe for increasing the harem or something,who cares,the most important thing is that the main character fucks with all highschool.
At the end of the day,the most likable character is kotonoha's sister.
What I despite the most it's that School days could be a great breakdown of the genre insted of this soap opera if the director were someone with a little tiny idea of what the fuck he or she was doing and the writter gives the girls a little bit of common sense,or personality or brain,but whatever,this is what we have,even though,it can be enjoyable at some point,it'll make you be really angry but the concept of a berakdown it's great and at the end it can of did something,even tough,it coul be a millon times better,so this why I give School Days a 4.
I know,some of you,will give it lower rant,but no one can't say that it's not a attempt of a breakdown,that if didn't get it at all,at least it kind of did it.
For a genre breakdown,watch The world only knows,which achives the goal a million better,but give it a shot,maybe You like it or something.

This review may contain spoilers
This is as subjective as your opinion is,also there's a lot of unfunny things that may disappoint you,I'm not funny,ok?
Well,let's go to the point.
Story-6
Another's a horror story which tells you about a curse on a highschool,this kind of stories really appeal me,even though,they can be stupid or complete shit but they're still enjoyable,that'd be the case of Another.
The premise's settled on a japanese highschool (oh,what a twist...) there was a student called Misaki on the 9-3 classroom that was intelligent,kind,athletic,he was like jesuscrist came back,but we all know that he wasn't the luckiest guy ever and Misaki isn't not the expection,he
...
dies on a fire shocking all his classroom in such a way that they act like he didn't die,this doesn't work as well as they could think,because when they take the classroom photo,they can see the ghost of his partner.
The story starts 26 years later of this incident,our main character,Kouichi Sakakibara,transfer to this school,he fells that atmosphere on his class it's creepy,and there's a secret that his mates haven't tell him about,he finds a mysterious girl on the hospital,Misaki Mei,that anyone seems to see.
The story's well developed,the pacing is appropiate because it continous in such a way that it's not predictable and that's a reallt good point of the show,making the story having a bit of complexity,but the main problem with another it's the time and distribution of the plot.
The anime has only 12 episodes and it's very slow on develops its plot and even there're some filler episodes and scenes (the beach one,for example).This is a problem if the amount of time that you have it's little,and that issue it's very clear at the end,which is very rushed.
A very important part of this show is the shock factor,shown on the deaths of the students and their relative ones (beacuse of the curse).The deahts are kind of predictable and with gore,handeled on the same way like the ones of "Final Destination",stupid and with gore.
The problem that I told before,about the time,affect the conclusion,it's anti-climatic and rushed and without the visual it will be very bad.The deaths were funny and on this time of series ypu can't afford this to happen,I have to cry no to laugh when someone dies,even tohugh,it manages to end piecing most of the things together.
In conclusion,I like the premise and how the story develops at first but the narrative became really slow and the end was anti-climatic.
Art & Animation-10
The animation was made by P.A Worka,known by other works like Angel Beats,Shirobako or Charlotte.
Another looks gorgeous,the character designs are flawless and well detail,with Misaki Mei ones standing out,even though,some extra mates can be rather generic.
Backgrounds are beautiful,they 're very well detail making everything feel more real,the colours are very well chose and helps you to be inmersed on the story.
The animation it's fluid,the camera angles,rotation and planes are great,giving the story a feel of realism,making you think that you're actually there.
Also,the animation it's good on the killing scens for gore fans out there.
So,on this part there's nothing to complain.
Sound-7
In this kind of story,the ost doesn't take an outstanding role,it's there to exalt the scenes and it kind of gets it,the sound aspect it's smotheing very subjective so,if you want,listen to acouple of themes,anyway,I think it's accomplish it job but I don't tink it's amazing,it's not bad or anything it's only above average and it's nice.
The opening is atrocious,the visuals are good but I really hate the song.
The ending is forgettable.
The voice acting it's ok,nothing to stand out,it's done correctely and that's all.
The sound of little things or details it's where the sound shines giving you a sense of tension and danger like the noise of the steps of the wood,so it's great.
Characters-3
The characters are the weakest point of the show,being a cast of generic characters.
The anime failed on making the most od the credible,making have any kind of feeling to them,where its obvious at the end where most of them die and you don't even know who are they or care about them because you see them 1 minute on the screen.
Anyway,the let's talk about some of them (the most important)
Misaki Mei: She's the co-protagonist and only character that actually develop on the serie,she corresponds to the Rei Ayanami type,"the doll girl",however,she's the most interesting character of the serie,she got develop in such a way that they show her past and the mystery arround her,so she's without a doubt the most interesting character on the anime.
Sakakibara Kouichi:He's the protagonist,he's your typical bland character,he's not completly awful in way that you want to kill him (I'm looking at you,Yukki) but he's boring.You get his backdrop shown but he hasn't any development through the series,which it's a big mistake with him,because this is not a comedy,it's a tragic story where people die and is they die,it shoul affect you in anyway but at the end of the serie it seem that's like it hasn't passed such a story.
Akazawa Izumi: she's kaichou-chan,one of the most important supporting character,because her job is to handel the curse of her class,so seeing what happened,she didn't do a greay job...She's a tsundere,she likes the main character because some events on the past,there's no development on her and you won't see her backdrop.
Teshigawara Naoya: He's the main character friend and follows every cliché and stereotype that you can see anywhere,there's not development of him,things happens to him because he's there.
The only thing you should know it's that the main character's aunt it's interesting and you should keep an eye on her.
What I feel with the cast it's there and because it's there things happens to them,it's not horrible but it's sterotypical and forgettable,at the end of the day,you won't care of them.
In the end,another it's an enjoyable show,it's not horror but it didn't pretendent to,even though,it's labeled as horror,ir's not scarry,there're not sick chasing or jumpscares.It's more focused on tell you story.It's intelligent and engaging,at times,with great technical aspects,but the pacing,narrative and character are the most important issues.
PS:I enjoy the show,I don't think I can rank enjoy beacuse it doesn't afect the show and unless I fucking hate it and feeling insulted,It wouldn't count to rank to me,so that's all I have to say about to say.
If you like mystery stories,you should give it a shot,if you're specting to be scared this's not a show for you.

This review may contain spoilers.
Story: 6
The story of Guilty Crown is nothing new,it's a revolution with mechas and our main character has got a superpower in a post-apocalyptic Japan.This future is consecuence of an incident with a mortal illness.
The story is interesting,even though,it's another Code Geass or an attempt of Evangelion
The revolution is promoted by a terrorist group called "undertakers",our main character,one day walks from school going to his favorite place and he finds the singer of his favorite group "Egoist" and he gets a superpower,because of that,he end in a battle with those terrorists and later on joing to them.
The main problem of Guilty
...
Crown is how they continue the story,it's rushed as fuck.The end is very very rushed and throws everything away making everything fast,anti-climatic and kind of shit.
The story has a plot twist at the middle of the story which changes the way that he works.
So in a summary ,the story is interesting,even though is a copypaste of Code Geass,Evangelion,Gundam.The problem is the way that it develops and that's very rushed.Anyway it's pretty decent and the cristal thing because of the illness gives it a plus in originality,and another good point is that the figth is humans against mechas and that's origianl as well,so the story sounds attractive and it has got great points but as it progresses,it breaks into pieces.
Art and animation: 10
The art and animation is gorgeous,flawless,amazing and I could takl hours about how good it looks,it came form Production IG known FOR Ghost in the Shell or Eden of the east.The backgrounds are very detail and helps you to "enter" in the story ,the animation is fluid,the mechas and the character desings are breath-taking and the cristal thing makes it more beautiful.Without any doubt the animation is one of the sell point of the show and it's done fantastic,the director is known form other works like Death Nore or Shingeki no Kyojin,so the action scenes are very well made and very exciting.
Sound: 9
The ost is brilliant,made by Sawano,known for antoher glorious ost like Shingeki no Kyojin or Kill la Kil,the conmbation with the well made action scenes makes very of these scene epic.
Also,the anime is focus on music and the songs which Inori sings are great.
Without a doubt,the ost is great and deserves congratulations everywhere.
In addition,the openings are freaking awsome and the endings as well.
Characters: 3
This is the weakest point of Guilty Crown,the characters are a lot but the majority hasn't got enough screen time to even connect with them,those who has got screen time are plain and doesn't develop at all,not all of them,of course but a great majority.
Ouma Shu: Another Shinji Ikari.He's the main character who starts being an afraid kid with anmesia about this past.His father is dead and his mom is never at home,so someone with a soap full od topics and clichés gave Shu a bath.To be fair,he actually develops thorugh the serie,but it makes it worse,because it became the "tiranic emo" without knowing what the hell do,he changes again at the end,and his end actually pleased me.
Inori: The "doll girl",like Rei Ayanami (Evangelion) or Yuki Nagato (The melancholy of Haruhi),she is plain,and doesn't develop through the serie.She kind of have a romance with the main character which feels forced because they could literally be sitting one next to other hours without saying anyword,the chemistry is zero and they're both boring characters,actually,but they look cute together,so...She is the co-protagonist and it's really relevant to the story but she's a boring character.
Tsutsugami Gai: He's what Shu wants to be,he is the leader of "undertakers".I liked him actually,he's connected with the protagonist and the villain somehow and his motivations at first,are done okay,even though,his final aim at the end is retrarded,he's not a bad character at the end of the day.
Mana Ouma:The main villian,she's an incestous yandere whose screen times are very rushed and kind of put glue to fix a big hole.
Yahiro: Shu's friend,well his relationship it's kind of complicated.He's the most likeable than the main character and you actually wish that he was the protagonist,he has got motivation and personality,and he can make decisions,so learn a bit,Shu.
The rest of the cast it's completed by the goverment members,Shu's schoolmates and the rest of terrorists,which are unidimesional and plain.
Enjoyment:5
Although of all I write before,I enjoyed Guily Crown,it's fulled of plot holes and what it tries to be it's already done and done it better,but at the end it has got very enjoyable parts to look back and remember them with a feeling of sattisfaction,It's not the best like some praised to be but it's not so bad,it can be enjoyed and you might like more than I did.
What I dislike the most i'ts how they continue the story after a plot twist in the middle,but at the end of the day It's an average serie that can entretain you for a while and has got an amazing animation and a great ost.
Overall: 5
For similar anime,check out:Code Geass,Neon Genesis Evangelion
May find something of your liking between those.
That's all folks.

Story :6
The concept of Mirai Nikki's story is nothing we haven't seen in films,books or other animes,the concept of a Death Game is quite used but very fun and interesting to watch.
On this version of Battle Royale,12 people get a mobile phone which can predic the future and have to kill each other and the winner became the God of the new World,the premise is quite interesting even though,it's hard to believe that a God 'd chose a succesor with that game conformed by terrorists,serial killers,a yandere and so on.
Anyway,on day,our main character's "friend",Deux ex Machina gives him a phone
...
and he says him that now a lor of crazy psychopaths are going to kill him.
It's a death game,so everyone can kill everyone,making,as a result,a thiriller with lots of unexpected plot twits,unfortunally that's not the case.
Mirai Nikki uses this structure over and over again:
1.A new enemy comes
2.Tries to kill the protagonists
3.Almost got it
4.Flashback about his past
5.A deaux ex machina or the enemy starts act stupid
6.Dies
There're some episodes about our protagonists and their relationship trying to be funny or philosophical but at the end they failed in an olympic way.
The future diary's are forgotten almost after the firsts episodes of the show.Any strategy simple or impossible,like a 5-year-old kid use posion against the protagonists.
However,at 17th episode the anime starts to be something really good,even though,the plans are stupid and things doesn't make sense is more intense than the rest and,personally I think it's the best part of the show,but the end is a complete shit,that's all I have to say about the end.
Art & Animation: 3
The animation of Mirai Nikki was made by Asread,also known by Corpse Body.
It's average at best,the movements are tough,the battles are frozen frames of hitting,which makes it look like it was a powerpoint,the backgorunds are mediocre at best,although the animation gets better at the end.
The character design is well done.
Sound: 6
The OST of Mirai Nikki is huge,with more more more tracks than episodes,even though,a lot of them are forgetable,there're some of them which increase a lot of tension to the scene,but mostly it's average.
The first opening and the first ending of the show are fantastic
The second one's are okay.
Character:3
Yukiteru Amano i:The main character of Mirai Nikki is a winy little pussy ala Ganta of "Deadman Wonderland",he's an antisocial kid who happens to be in such a cruel game.He has no strength,his only hability is throwing darts and he's insufferable.
His cover by a huge and warm coat of plot armor,which makes him survives explosions,never gets hit by a bullet or by the power of anything he doesn't get killed when they only have to broke an object that they're holding.
Thre's nothing more to say about him,his the typical Shinji Ikari,he deveplops a little through the story but all of this development it's thrown to the trash with that ending.
Gasai Yuno:The co-protagonist and the main reason of the huge amount of fans that this anime got.She's a yandere,an type of girl who's so in love with a character that does EVERYTHING for him o psycho bitch with childhood issues.
She's overpower as hell,to keep our hero,"Yukki!!" alive
This character can only say "Yukki!",be aware of that.
Although all of this,she's fun to watch,even though,they try to explain her and make her a "realistic character",which I found kind of retrarded.
The rest of the cast is conformed by psycho bitches with childhood issues and "tragic past" with I lost the count of how many times they use rape and child getting beaten to explain,trying to show us "How cruel is the world" which make it edgy,as edgy as a fucking cliff.
Although,2 characters stand out of the others
The 9th:The terrorist is a character which I find far more interesting than the protagonists,plus the romance with the policeman were far better weitten,intense and lovely than the main couple one's-
Akise Aru: The only persons who seem intelligent in the show,although he's a copy of Kaworu (Evangelion),not only his concept is the same,the seiyuu is the same and some lines are the same,which makes him one of the best characters.
Enjoyment:6
Despite of its flaws I got fun watching Mirai Nikki,It's not bad but it's not a good show either.
What it tries to be it's already done and it's done better.
For simliar shows,I suggest you to watch:
Fate/Zero-It's concept it's the same but it's far better written,whit an amazing soundtrack and a flawless animation.
Black Lagoon-Action and action,very intense and fun to watch with a lot of pyschos and bitches being crazy.
Higurashi no naku koro ni-For cute psycho girls killing people,with a fantastic and very well set mystery but a horrible animation
So,that's all folks.

This review may contain spoilers
Harem Online,I mean Sword art online is an anime aired in 2012 based on a light novel series of the same name by Reki Kawahara (he also write the novels of Accel World) and it gained a lot of fans and popularity.
Well, with that introduction let’s start this review
Story:2
The story of SAOis divided into 2 arcs and it follows the serie of events after the release of a VMMORPG called Sword art online,on the day of its release,when everyone is online, the game creator Kayaba Akihiko says that they can't logout until they clear the 100 floor and if they die
...
on the game,they will die on real life.
The premise is very good,the idea of virtual reality game is very attactive and the death game makes it interesting,not new or orginal but interesting.
Although,a good premise means nothing if the story develops bad and SAO suffers of that.
The anime starts really well,with the first episodes focusing on the story,but then it follows everything except the main plot,making the protagonist fishing,playing the "happy family" with his virtual girlfriend,helping helpless lolis with his dragon or being CSI Online.
The anime spends a lot time and money in things taht can be told on 5 minutes or aren't needed,the improvement in the game is ignored making time jumps like it was Steins;Gate.
The story of SAO is full of clichés and predictable things,and even at some points it's embarrasing,well I mean if the goal is to clear the floors,why you would care if any one "cheats" to clear and even more,when you fight for your life?
Moreover,the main character's plot armor can be shown in 2 galaxies away,making him wining everyone alone,and yes,he was a beta tester but I don't think a beta tester can won a bunch of guys by staying in frontof them.
The romance is a very important aspect of the show,because it aims the events of mostly of all the story.
The romance in this anime doesn't work at all,it seems to be written by a someone that has no clue that how they work,the interacctions between them are boring and dull,the couple has not chemistry at all,the characters aren't fun and they romance is forced as fuck.They instert a lot of stuff to make it seem like an adult romance and it's kind of ridiculous.
Despite this,the first arc of SAO is fun to watch.It's stupid but fun to watch but the worst it's about to come.
The second arc make it worse,all the problems with the first arc increase in such a way that it seems like they were insulting me.
There's a forced love triaingle between a "sister" who is not a sister,oh Japan...,a girl in coma and a teen.
The princess that has to be rescued,the villian that doesn't deserve such a title,more fanservice and cliches and archeothypes,making Mario Bros look like a fucking masterpiece.
The second arc of SAO is more embarassing than when you're watching a film with your parents and 2 characters kiss.
So,the premise is great,the rest is complete shit.
Art &Animation:8
The animation was made by A-1 Pictures known of other anime like Ano Hana,Black Butler,Fairy Tail or Your Lie in April and it's great,the battles are well animated and the background is flawless and the ilumination of those backgrounds are very well done.
The battles can be animated or can be a powerpoint,showing you,frames whare the characters are jitting but not any actual movement at all.
The character design is standard but it's well done,even though,in the second arc is changed into something infrerior with those awful elf ears.
Sound:8
The OST was composed by Yuki Kajiura,known of other OST's like Madoka Magica or Fate/Zero and it's amazing,it's a plus to almost every battle and with the animation make it the only good aspects of the show.
This show has 2 Ops and ED,in the first set,OP is good and the 1 ED is meh and on the second one,OP is forgettable and the ED is okay.
The voice acting is solid and the sound effects are okay.
Characters:1
The characters are poorly written clichés
The main characters:
Kirito:The protagonist,everything and everyone is about him.It's also known as Gary Stu and it's portrait as a God,showing contradictions and flaws of everything his personality supposes to be.He's a character where everyone can insert,so it's the son of every beta character ever and a Gary Stu.His our lord and savior Kirito and that's not me,is how the show presents it.He's a self-inserted character that you're supposed to insert in and be amazed about his awesomeness and root for him,because ir's a light novel,of course and all girls fall for him because he's amazing and he's the MC.
Asuna:Co-protagonist,at first is shown as a badass player but then she turn into a generic tsundere who is usless without Kirito.In the second arc she became a damsel in distress been raped by a evil butterfly dude trashing all her image of been a strong female character who kicks ass,been unable to do anything and waiting for Kirito to recue her.
Sugu:Incest.She's the little sister who is not the sister because Japan always looks of excuses to hide incest who's as interesting as a wall and it's useless without Kirito.She's only a pair of brests with no brains and only as another fetish on the harem.
Klein:the main character's friend archetype.To be honest,he would be a better protagonist than kirito as he's more likeable and no perfect hero that everyone loves.
Lisbeth:another girl in the Harem,,she's a blacksmith and she is introduced in a couple of episodes to be kick to Kirito's harem,falling for him for no given reason than his the main character of course.
Silica:talking loli.She's nothing but another girl added to the harem,introduced in one episode in one of the most insulting way imaginable,she's been attacked by a tentacle moster,making more deviant and a step away for a hentai.The only thing you can say about her is that she likes Kirito and has a little dragon.
The villans:
Kayaba:He's the main antagonist in the first arc who's motivations are never explained in one of the worst attempt to create a moraly grey character with one of the most embarassing monologs about how he wainted to bulit a castle when he was young.At first,he seem as a great mystery,a mastermind,but in the end his motivations to kill millions of people are never explain and he remiains a psycho killer with no motivations.
Suogu:The main antagonist on the second arc is a fucking butterfly that doesn't even desrve that title,he's bad like he was one of evil guy of Disney,in fact,they're far better written and characterised that this thing.He's a rapist evil butterfly dude,oh the depth.
Enjoyment:5
Despite of all stupidness,I have fun watching it but I would't recommend this thing to anyone.
Overall:4
SAO is not the masterpiece that someones claim to be,it's not as bad as some claim to be but itr's bad.
Itr's a better overrated show,itr's doesn't mean that you can like it or enjoy it,I fact I had fun watching it.
It's not like the concept it's new or the romance is the best.
For another animes to see,I recommend to check out
-Eden of the east-very original death game and far better romance
-Log Horizon-More technical about gaming things for all MMORPG fans out there.
So,that's all folks.
