Deadman Wonderland
Year: 2011
Genre: Action, Horror, Science fiction
Rate: 7/10

Synopsis
The story is about a boy whose classmates were killed and he was sent to prison for it. The prison was no normal prison. It was one that forced the prisoners to do all sort of cruel performance to gain profit. I am not going deeper in the story, but there was some sort of prisoners with super power and were kept in G zone. If you like the bloody fighting and twisted side of humanity, this is definitely the one you are looking for.

Story Telling
Deadman wonderland unleashed a super villain which is the one that put the hero (Igarashi Ganta) in jail in the first episode and keeping it as the target that the hero of the story chasing. It is a cliché, but it is not stupid if it works. The audience is at the same page as the hero. Every episode, he is exploring new information about this "wonderland" he is in. I was getting just enough information to keep me craving for new development of the story. Especially, when the identity of the super revealed (but the hero doesn't know about it), it made the story all so controversial and interesting. Sadly, the anime needs a season 2 to reach to that part.

Character
Almost every character of this story is dark. Only few are closer to normal person. Every person has unique appearance on the outside, as well as personality. When all these twisted characters come together, it makes the story even more exciting.

Overall Opinion
Deadman Wonderland is a good anime in terms of the twisted-story plot and characters. But it is still not enough both in terms of horror and action. It is also a very dark anime. It illustrates the extreme twisted side of human being in all ugly picture. All in all, this stressful anime gave me a good look in how dark the world could be and I love it!

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...
