Acchi Kocchi (2012)
Genres: Comedy, Romance, School, Seinen, Slice of Life
Rate: 8 out of 10

 Acchi Kocchi or Place to Place has a classic element of anime -- exaggerated emotions, and I really like it here. The way they insert romance is very suitable, too. Although it might be a little bit cheesy for some people, I think it matches the characters very well. Talking about the characters, they all have vivid personalities of their owns. The chemical reactions between them make the anime hilarious. However, there are a lot of jokes are made upon Japanese puns, so it might be a bit hard for me to understand.

The whole anime is based on a concept of cat. You can see cat or cat related effects everywhere -- even the name of the high school. They even have a cat statue. Tsumiki, a main character,  turns into cat sometimes. I am a cat lover, so the whole thing is so cute to me. One more thing I really like is the little illustration of arrows between scenes and in every letters. The plot happens only on the main characters. There are five in total, and other three will join in some episode. How about background characters? They are blurred and mostly have no motion, which is very unique.

 Comparing to Nichijou, the jokes in Nichijou is stronger, and the exaggeration are over-the-top. However, Nichijou has little romance element. Although the story is in school, it is not as boring as K-On (personal idea, sorry).

 To sum up, Acchi Kocchi is a good anime to relax and sometimes melting in the sweet romance.

Claymore Year: 2007 Genre: Dark Fantasy, Action Rate: 9/10 Synopsis This is a story of a group of half-human and half-yoma (yoma=monster) fighters. They belong to an organization that accept request to eradicate yoma from the attacked town. The story is led by a female protagonist, Clare. She had recused a boy name Raki. I don't want any spoiler here, so that's it. This is an absolute serious anime. There was no comedy, but a bit of romance and friendship I may say. I love the plot and think that it is better than most of the new anime released nowadays. Story telling I like how they tell the story here. The story started from the current journey of the heroine, Clare and her encounter with Raki. In this part, the necessary details of the organization Clare was working for were told. After that was a flash back to the back story of Clare, which connected to what she would do next. After the flash back, every episode built up the tension so well. I like how they kept...

11eyes: Tsumi to Batsu to Aganai no Shōjo 11eyes: Sin, Damnation, and the Atonement Girl Rate: 6 out of 10 11eyes: Tsumi to Batsu to Aganai no Shōjo is a story about a group of high school students who are summoned into “Red Night” and for some reasons they are target of “Black Knights” who claim they should be dead. Its genres are: action, echhi, super power, and supernatural. First off, there are quite many panty shots in the first few episodes and it tries to include some adult content at the nearly end, which do not fit in the serious story line very well. After finishing this anime, I found that it is an adaptation of an adult visual novel. So that explains the things I saw. The story telling pattern is very similar in each episode. Happy school life followed by entering “Red Night”. But in that boring pattern, the story is moving forward bit by bit. It wasn’t until nearly the end that you understand the whole big picture, which is a strategy that other a...
