Top 20 Anime Openings/Endings (of Summer 2015)

Review of Amagi Brilliant Park

The Storyline is so cute and light-hearted yet has some serious moments, it also has hints of romance, but mostly the romance is the end half of the Anime. When I first heard of this Anime, I turned away from it, and didn’t want to watch it, but then one day I wanted to laugh and not have an Anime that would make me more depressed so I click on episode 1 and I was laughing so much that I forgot about my own real life problems. This is a unique storyline for the most part and the pace was amazingly well executed. 

The Animation and Sound was really really good. The animation was perfect and was at a very high quality and the sound was also at a high quality, not only that but the Opening song was very catchy and addicting and was soon one of the songs that I would hum at work.

The Characters were all unique and really interesting, even the one that barely had any major screen time. The character developments between Sento and Kanie are so wonderfully done. Kanie is a really great character and I loved him throughout the whole series. Moffle was really funny and was the main reason for my laughing out loud.

Overall I really loved and enjoyed this Anime, and the only downfall being it was just TOO SHORT… It should have been longer, so then they could have developed even more of the characters and more into the storyline.

Final Rating:

Story- 9/10
Animation- 10/10
Sound- 10/10
Characters- 9/10

Review of Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~

The Storyline was actually really unique and interesting. It is for an Adult audience, and although I am still not 100% into them, I can still enjoy them to nearly the full extent. Anime such as Tokyo Ghoul and Psycho Pass helped me with getting used to the more adult mature themes. But then the ending came around, and although some people didn't mind the ending, I did… Not going to say what happened as that would be spoilers, but it just wasn't right to end it like that in my opinion. 

The Animation was really good and really fit the type of genre and Anime. The Sound was good, but I didn't really like the style of the opening and ending songs, but that’s just my opinion and based also on the type of music I enjoy.

The Characters are all unique and I found it really hard to connect with them that much, but I did start to connect to the main male character around the halfway point in the Anime. I did feel sorry for the main characters and enjoyed when they were kick-ass fighting people. There were a few characters that I really despised and wanted to destroy with my own two hands.

Overall it was a really unique storyline, which could have easily been one of my favourites if it wasn't for the lack of connection to characters and the storyline ending in the way that I didn't like.

Final Rating:

Story- 8/10
Animation- 9/10
Sound- 8/10

Review of Love Stage!!

The Storyline is definitely unique in most ways. I loved the fact is wasn’t all focused on the Love, or the fact it is a Shounen-Ai Anime, but it also has heaps of Comedy in it, which made this Anime so much better. The pace and style of this Anime was actually surprisingly really well done, but I must say, watching the OVA afterwards the main Series, did help end it a bit better, but it’s not essential. 

The Animation and Sound was fantastic and the opening song… was so addicting and catchy and that’s no lie. I also love the eyes of the main boy, it is really well animated.

The Characters, what to say about those damn Characters. Izumi is a young, cute and small guy, but I kept mistaken him being a young boy. I loved the fact he didn’t want to follow in his family’s footsteps but wanted to make his own future and do what he wants to do. Ryouma for me was a very difficult character to like, but eventually I did end up liking him. Some of his traits weren’t appealing at all, but his kindness at times was heart-warming. The relationship between Izumi and Ryouma was sweet and cute but uncomfortable at times, because of Izumi looking so damn young and little. Izumi’s older brother; Shougo was normally the one that makes it the funniest and his obsession and protectiveness over Izumi is pretty cute and funny.

Overall this Anime was shockingly a really good Anime, even though I thought it wouldn’t be. It did romance and comedy justice.

Story- 9/10
Animation- 9.5/10
Sound- 10/10
Characters- 9/10

Review of Blue Spring Ride (Ao Haru Ride)

The Storyline is pretty similar to other school romance Anime but of course there are some differences. You have the girl that hangs around with “Popular” girls so she isn’t alone. You have the popular boy who doesn’t even need to try. The difference is, it’s not a simpler, I love you, You love Me thing, as there’s problems and difficulties in both the girl and the boy and of course, let’s not forget….Love Triangle, which was the bit I didn’t like. The pace and the way it was told were amazing and well done. I love how it tackled other problems other than the main love interest.

The Animation and Sound was amazing and I loved the Opening song, it was catchy and memorable.

The Characters were the weakest thing of all the Anime. I loved the majority of them, and I loved the main two characters; Kou and Futaba, but some of the Secondary Characters, I just wanted to yell at them, as they were just annoying. The main secondary Character that I didn’t like was Yuuri, she was just in the way all the time, and causes stuff that just shouldn’t have happened, of course by the end, I didn’t mind her, but the majority of the time I didn’t like her.

Overall I really loved this Romance Anime, although certain things really annoyed me. I also hope for a second season, although it’s not the end of the world, if a second season doesn’t come around.

Final Rating:

Story- 9.5/10

Anime I Watched In May (2015)

I will be posting every month what Anime I watched.
This will not include, Movies or OVA's, just Series.

Haikyuu!! (4 ½ Stars) 

Steins;Gate (5 Stars) 

Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou [The Kawai Complex Guide] (4 ½ Stars) 

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni [ When They Cry – Higurashi ] (3 Stars)

Busou Renkin (4 ½ Stars) 

As you can tell, I didn't watch as much as the past few months this time, as I was busier than I have been in a while. I had a range of different genres and styles of Anime, and I had a really good amazing Anime and then an Anime that really let me down. I would really highly recommend Haikyuu!!  if you love sport Anime and I also really REALLY highly recommend Steins;Gate as it was one of the best Anime I have seen, although it had a slow start and it was confusing at times, the overall STORY was amazing, but of course... most people already know this Anime and it's one of the most liked Anime series, along side FMAB and Gintama plus more.

See you next month! :D
