A Mystery's Anime

Will not finish Rating Comment
Age 12 (TV)
Akame ga KILL! (TV)
Amagi Brilliant Park (TV)
Baccano! (TV) Very good
Boys Over Flowers (TV) Decent
Classroom of the Elite (TV) Not really good
Croisée in a Foreign Labyrinth - The Animation (TV)
Dance with Devils (TV) Decent After about 5 à 6 episodes, I still couldn't figure out if the musical songs were meant as a serious thing in this show, but I found this mystery about a girl forcibly put into a weird position with the school's evil (?) and suspicious harem boys quite entertaining at first. The girl had some wit and balls (actually calling the police when things get suspicious) and the musical numbers were (unintentionally?) hilarious. After that charm wore off, I slowly got bored with this series. However, I won't regret what I watched.
Deadman Wonderland (TV) So-so I remember the first episodes being quite good, despite the gore. The plot got more ridiculous as the show went on.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (TV)
Denpa teki na Kanojo (OAV) This was just not for me.
Dimension W (TV)
DRAMAtical Murder (TV) Weak I don't know what it was trying to do, but it didn't really entertain me with its confusing plot and bishounen with weird outfits.
ERASED (TV)
Flowers of Evil (TV) So-so If there's something I REALLY dislike about most bad romantic comedies - it's that their humor is based on embarassing situations. I usually cringe when I watch these movies. Now, Flowers of Evil is certainly NO romcom, but its main character sure knows how to do embarassing things and make embarassing decisions... I couldn't bear to watch this anymore. It's a slow series (the animation didn't bother me at all really), but the atmosphere, characters and storyline didn't lure me in either. Sorry.
Flying Witch (TV)
Fractale (TV) Weak The first episode could have been drawn and directed by Miyazaki himself. Unfortunately, the creator did not have a real plan with its plot and so the show tried to be something else each episode.
(The) Future Diary (TV) Decent Started out hugely entertaining, but unfortunately Yukki kept being a horrible character and the plot got worse too. There wasn't anybody to root for.
Gamers! (TV)
Gangsta. (TV) Decent Had major potential. It had built three complex and sympathetic characters with difficult pasts that were believable. It went wrong somewhere with the limited budget and the focus that shifted mostly to the gang leaders and some bigger picture conflicts I really didn't care about (I think nobody did). All that while the show was looking worse and worse in animation and the execution snowdived into sad territory. Pity, because I really liked Alex, Nico and Worrick.
Ghost Hunt (TV)
Gintama (TV) Very good Fun series, watched about 100 episodes. I'm not really the type for episodic shows though. The humor didn't always click with me, I liked the series best when it was serious with a comedic touch... which wasn't really what it tried to accomplish most of the time :lol:. So, it just wasn't truly for me.
Glass Mask (TV 2/2005) Very good No subtitles in the later episodes - yes , no fansubs but for me no other legal way to watch it either - so I'm not able to finish it. Pity, since I liked it.
GLASSLIP (TV) Weak
Gosick (TV) Got bored. I don't think it's really the show's fault though.
Gurren Lagann (TV) Decent
Haibane Renmei (TV) It pains me to say that I never got through the first episodes, despite trying multiple times. It didn't catch my attention.
(The) Heroic Legend of Arslan (TV) Decent
(The) irregular at magic high school (TV)
Joker Game (TV)
Junjō Romantica (TV) Weak
K-ON!! (TV 2) Not really good
Kamisama Kiss 2 (TV)
Katanagatari (TV)
Kill la Kill (TV) Weak
Kodocha (TV) Good Wow, our main heroine sure is... hyperactive. I did watch about 30 episodes and you'll be surprised about the emotional depth this series has, it's not afraid to talk about serious topics while still being essentially a childrens' show. I kind of lost interest during filler episodes and wasn't really interested anymore, but I can still say I enjoyed a good part of what I watched.
KonoSuba – God’s blessing on this wonderful world!! (TV)
Kurenai (TV) Decent
(The) Legend of the Galactic Heroes (OAV) Excellent
Level E (TV) Decent The first three episodes I saw some of the most hilarious moments existent in anime. Too bad it didn't continue that path - it experienced with other storylines and characters. Pity.
Living for the Day After Tomorrow (TV)
Magical Circle Guru-Guru (TV 2)
MAOYU (TV) So-so
Maria the Virgin Witch (TV)
Monster (TV) Very good
My Love Story!! (TV) I really wanted to like this show. I am basically the target audience. Only... the main couple, Yamato and Takeo. They are so simple and sugary sweet to each other, it's tiring. They make a big thing out of EVERY small thing. There isn't much more to Takeo than his almost 100% good nature and his gruff exterior, he's not really complex (nor very intelligent, or at least it seems that way). Loved Sunakawa, but while he's an important character, I couldn't bare to watch this show anymore because of the main relationship. Sorry.
Mysterious Girlfriend X (TV) This was certainly unique in premise and ideas... though hard for some people to see (all the saliva...). But the characters weren't fun enough for me to watch.
Natsuyuki Rendezvous (TV) Weak Started out as a promising jousei, but went downhill soon. Bland and boring main guy, annoying dead guy and it all got so sloowwwww and ridiculous.
No Game, No Life (TV) It's not my thing. Sorry.
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal (ONA 2014) So-so
Princess Tutu (TV)
Psycho-Pass 2 (TV) I am not easily discouraged, but this show had such bad ratings, I don't even dare to watch it anymore.
Rainbow - Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin (TV) Good Sorry, it was just so... cheesy. I liked the plot and I like me some gore, but this execution wasn't for me.
Riddle Story of Devil (TV) Weak
Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers (TV)
Rurouni Kenshin (TV 1996) Very good Awesome show. After the Kyoto arc, the manga coverage is mostly over and I stopped watching.
School Days (TV) Awful
Silver Spoon (TV)
Squid Girl Season 2 (TV) Decent The first season was awesome on the first watch. After watching a couple of episodes of this second season, while there were good moments, this show wasn't really inventive or funny anymore.
Sunday Without God (TV) So-so Not my thing.
Sweetness & Lightning (TV)
Sword Art Online (TV) So-so Showed some early signs of failure in the making, with every girl crushing on the main character. However, everything went downhill when poor Asuna became caged and main guy seemed to have a sister admirer. And to top it off, the main villain in the second half was so atrocious that I couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Tokyo Ghoul (TV) Good
Touch (TV)
(The) Troubled Life of Miss Kotoura (TV) Not really good
(The) Twelve Kingdoms (TV) I just couldn't get into this series.
You and Me. (TV)
Your Lie in April (TV) Decent I liked the premise and I believe some things were done very well. The main guy's negative experiences and fear of playing piano and his mother, for example. However, I couldn't bear to watch the women 'playfully' abuse the males here for comic relief (almost all the humor in this show was bad), especially as the show was about a main character who'd experienced abuse. This show trampled on my moral compass on multiple ways. I didn't like many of the female characters either.
Yurikuma Arashi (TV) Decent This wasn't for me. I loved how the episode review writer explained all the motives and symbolism in this show, but the characters and how the show's thoughts/plot were presented to me - I couldn't bring myself to like it.
