As I am an artificial intelligence and am incapable of making my own opinion, I have received a scan of Ernie's hippocampus and am now relaying the data received to you using the original dialect of Ernie.

Toradora is pretty much a standard romance. The only difference is the character relationships, which are actually quite complex. However, I feel that the anime does not have anything to distinguish it from others, and it feels very bland. The animation is pretty normal for a 21st century anime. That's pretty much all I have to say about it.

7.8/10

Bakuman (seasons 1, 2, and 3)

Mashiro

Plot:

After his Uncle died in debt while making manga, Mashiro decided to not become a mangaka himself. However, in middle school, Takagi, the smartest kid in the grade, comes up to him and asks if he wants to make a manga with him. After promising his crush, Azuki, that they will get married if he makes a manga that gets an anime adaptation, he sets off with Takagi to make his very own manga!

Opinions:

Bakuman was an amazing experience for me. It introduces the viewer to the mysterious manga industry that we have all wanted to know about, and puts the characters in real-life scenarios that show just how much work mangakas have to put into their work. Although it sounds like a romance, it focuses primarily on the accomplishments of Mashiro and Takagi as mangakas. The characters are particularly memorable, mainly by the type of manga they produce.

The World God Only Knows

Keima, the God of Conquest

Plot:

Keima Katsuragi is known all over the internet as the God of Conquest. He can master any dating sim faster than anyone else, and cute computer-generated girls have no choice but to fall under his spell. However, in real life, Keima is simply known as a strange geek. He is always playing dating sims, even in school. One day, he accidentally accepts a contract to help a naive demon hunter, Elsie. He must make girls fall in love with him in order to catch the demons lurking in their hearts.

Opinions:

The World God Only Knows is an amazing show. It has a cool, collected main character that everyone likes (most of the time). It has some of the best ways to make people laugh. And there's romance in every episode, for you romantics. The art is standard for a modern show. There isn't much else to say, but I can guarantee that most people will like the show.

First Look: Seitokai Yakuindomo (Season 2)

[From now on, I will periodically be doing First Look posts on anime that have just started airing. They won't be posted often, as I only star 3-4 new anime every season.]

Seitokai Yakuindomo

Setting:

Takatoshi Tsuda started attending Osai Academy, which has recently been switched from an all-girls school to co-ed.

Opinions:

I literally fell in love with this anime within the first minute of the first episode. And the rest of it did not disappoint.

Basically, take your regular school comedy (Azumanga Daioh, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, etc.), take out all the jokes, and replace them with perverted ones. And I mean REALLY perverted ones. The product is Seitokai Yakuindomo.

I think this anime has a lot of potential. I haven't seen the first season*, but I can say that I'm sure this one will be a success.

Recommended for People who liked: The World God Only Knows, Great Teacher Onizuka, Steins;Gate

*You don't need to watch the first season to watch the second one.

Ouran High School Host Club

Sorry for not posting for a while. I was on vacation. I will post more often from now on.

All the members of the Ouran High School Host Club

Plot:

Haruhi Fujioka, an honor student studying to become a lawyer, wins a scholarship to the prestigious Ouran High School. However, after accidentally stumbling into the Host Club's room and breaking a vase, she must work as a male host herself in order to pay off her debt!

Opinions:

I haven't watched many reverse harem, but you can tell from the get-go that OHSHC is amazing. It has a lot of great laughs that are memorable, and the animation is pretty good too. However, what the show really specializes in are the characters. The lolita Honey-senpai, the rough-looking Mori-senpai, etc. etc. All the characters are memorable in their own way, and through some flashbacks you can tell how they have evolved after meeting Tamaki.

8.3/10

Great Teacher Onizuka

Presenting...The Great Teacher Onizuka!

Plot:

After a girl agrees to go on a date with him, Onizuka, a former gang member, witnesses her teacher coming back to her and asking her to go back to him. Convinced that teachers have it made for them, he earns a teaching degree (barely) and starts teaching at a prestigious school after the chairman gives him an unlikely recommendation. While the other teachers teach the kids school material, Onizuka teaches them about life lessons, often using illegal and dangerous ways to do so.

Opinions:

After finishing this anime, you can immediately tell you have finished a masterpiece. Although the animation is a bit lacking even for its time, the characters are so likable that you'll eventually be sucked into the anime. It does a perfect job of balancing humor with other plot elements.

Usagi Drop

The main characters of Usagi Drop, Rin (left) and Daikichi (right).

Plot:

After his grandfather dies, 30 year old and single Daikichi learns that he had an illegitimate child, Rin, who is 6 years old. After no one volunteers to take her in, Daikichi feels sorry for her and decides to let her live in his home.

Music: 7/10

Opinions:

Usagi Drop is one of those anime that really makes you feel good inside. The animation is sort of different, in the sense that everything is sort of light. It also really makes you laugh when you realize that Rin is Daikichi's aunt, and even acts like it (even though there is a 24-year difference). I recommend watching this anime after finishing a sad anime (like Clannad: AfterStory T~T) because it is small and fast, but memorable.

Anohana: The Flower We Say That Day

The main characters from Anohana, Jintan (left) and Menma (right).

Plot:

After a tragic incident, Jintan and his childhood friends slowly grew apart. However, a memory from their past has come to remind them of their friendship and confront their guilt of the incident that split them apart.

Individual Ratings:

Animation: 9/10

Plot: 9/10

Characters: 7/10

Music: 8/10

Opinions:

There really isn't much to say about this anime because it is so short and simple. The thing that really sets it apart from other anime is that it is about every-day life with a touch of supernatural. However, the supernatural being, Menma, is really just an exaggeration of a manifestation of past regrets and emotions, and the main character must come to terms with things he has done in the past. It is a very sad and heartwarming anime, perfect for a marathon.

8.3/10

Opinions:

The first thing that stands out about Time of Eve is the animation. The director went full acid with this one. The camera shot go this way, that way , now here, now there. Aaaaand its back to the main character. The story was also amazing, although there really isn't an ending to it. That's pretty much all I can say without revealing stuff.
