UGH. >_< Braces suck!!! Anyways, I wanted to see Salt today, but I had a stupid orthodontist appointment. Jeez, so bothersome. But, on with the next animes! 9-6 will be listed here! ^^
After an earthquake, Momomiya Ichigo and four others are transfused with the DNA of an animal, causing them to gain unearthly abilities and transform into Mew Mews. Two men tell these girls that they must save the world from Deep Blue and his followers, who want to take over the planet. The Mew Mews must defeat Chimera Animals and save the world from destruction.
My Opinion: Basically Tokyo Mew Mew is a more colorful, younger, less-epic version of Sailor Moon. It's really cute and funny, but the transformations aren't that great and the storyline is kinda cheap. It was an enjoyable anime that was fun to watch, but the main plot doesn't get interested until around episode 25.
8. K-On!
It's Yui Hirasawa's first year in high school, and she's eagerly searching for a club to join. At the same time, Ritsu Tainaka, a drummer, and her friend Mio Akiyama, a bass player, are desperately trying to save the school's light music club, which is about to be disbanded due to lack of members. They manage to recruit Tsumugi Kotobuki to play the keyboard, meaning they only need one more member to get the club running again. Yui joins, thinking it will be an easy experience for her to play the castanets, the only instrument she knows. However, the other members think their new addition is actually a guitar prodigy...
My Opinion: K-on is a really great anime if you're into animes about music. While the song lyrics and titles are not really serious, the music itself is catchy and upbeat. The characters are very cute and it's surprisingly funny. A perfect mix of comedy and music!
Due to poor grades, Tsukune Aono, an average high school student, has been unable to get accepted into any private academy of his choice. By exceptional accident, the only school to accept him turns out to be anything but ordinary; the school is attended by monsters disguised as humans. Fearing for his life, he attempts to escape only to meet Moka Akashiya, a beautiful girl who just happens to be a vampire. Despite this, Tsukune decides to stay at the academy, hiding his human nature from students and teachers. Tsukune also discovers that when the rosary around Moka's neck is removed, her true nature emerges.
My Opinion: The drawing of this anime is great, as well as the action. It takes a couple of episodes to get into (when all the characters appear), but it's a funny comedy/romance/fantasy. The relationship between the girls and Tsukune keeps you watching. Though the fanservice gets annoying, the second season is much more modest, and you get used to it. (eventually)
6. Angel Beats!
In a world after death, angels fight for their fate and their future. Yuri, the leader of the Shinda Sekai Sensen, rebels against the god who destined her to have an unreasonable life. On the otherhand, Kanade, the chairperson of the student council for the world after death, battles against the SSS members. SSS members utilize armed weaponry to battle it out against the angels harnessing supernatural powers.
My Opinion: At first, I was a bit skeptical as to how my friend could like this anime. After watching a couple episodes, I was hooked. The quality of drawing is great, and so it the action. The comedy was really good, not lame at all. And the band in the anime, Girls Dead Monster, has turned out to be my favorite source of music. I highly recommend this anime!
