Clannad Season 1 Review

Clannad is an exciting mixture of drama, romance, and comedy. As soon as Fuko came into the story, I was hooked. It's like reading a good book that you absolutely CAN'T put down. You just keep watching... and watching... And before you know it, it's over. Then you mentally prepare yourself for season 2.
I love the characters in this anime. La la la loveeee. Fuko was my favorite, by far. She doesn't have a main role, but she's SO FRICKIN ADORABLE. Honestly, I don't particularly like Nagisa. She's just a bit too plain for my liking. Then of course there's the whole Tomoya/Nagisa deal which is actually pretty adorable. Sadly, they never go into detail about Tomoya's dad in the first season. But Nagisa and Tomoya end up together, which is quite the happy ending to the first season. The extra episode at the end with Tomoyo and Tomoya was just plain annoying. It just kept dragging on and on about how Tomoya was nothing but a distraction to Tomoyo. Then in the end it's all like "The sakura trees are saved! I love you!"
Overall, I really enjoy this series. Although there are many positive views to the series, some of the sub plots went on too long. It got a little boring. I've heard that there's more drama in the 2nd season, so I'm crossing my fingers! :P

Rating: 8/10

Kannazuki no Miko Review T_T

I just finished watching Kannazuki no Miko... Dang. I haven't had an anime make me cry like that in sooo long. By far one of my favorites. The beginning was a little confusing to me. Half the first episode gave the impression that it was some normal high school girl anime, the last half gave me the impression that it was gonna be hella weird. Getting used to it isn't that hard, honestly. That twist right in the middle of the series made me not want to go any further, but I'm glad I did. As much as I hated the dark Chikane and the depressed Himeko, it was definitely worth bearing through for a couple of episodes. The ending spurred so many emotions. I was upset that Chikane's existence had to go bye-bye but it was incredibly sweet when they were spilling their guts out to each other. Not literally, of course... Well, kinda...

What a lot of animes share in common is a crappy ending, and obviously this isn't one of them. The ending for Kannazuki no Miko was PERFECT.

While it was a great anime that I would recommend, there were a few things that got on my nerves. Himeko was ALWAYS crying over something. We didn't hear much about this ex-roommate of Himeko's. Chikane joined the Orochi. Oogami is just hopeless. "I will do anything to protect my Himeko!" Chyeah right. That curse should have swallowed him up long ago. So yeah. That's basically all that bothered me.

All in all, I would rate this anime a 9/10.
