Anime Corner

For full reviews, there are five categories that I will be scoring: story, character, art, sound, and personal enjoyment. Furthermore, the character, art, and sound scores are each split into two subcategories. Every subcategory as well as scores for story and personal enjoyment will be assigned on a 10 point scale. The character, art, and sound scores will be the average of the two subcategory scores, and the final score will be the average score from the five category scores. This will result in final scores with single decimal place precision, though that precision is misleading,...

Alright, this post is way overdue. Winter anime season ended almost two months ago, but I've been absolutely swamped with school, so only now that I'm on summer break have I had time to catch up on everything. Sorry about that. This is also why my spring 2015 week 3 impressions aren't up yet, despite being 6 weeks into spring anime season. I simply haven't watched any spring anime yet. Now that I've finished winter 2015 anime, I will be starting spring 2015 and those impressions should be out shortly.

I also wasn't sure I'd do any sort of final review...

Japanese: Death Parade

English: Death Parade

Studio: Madhouse

Premise: I can't say much that won't spoil the first episode. Spoiling the first episode won't ruin the rest of the anime, but I still think it's worth trying to preserve the magic of the first episode. Basically, two people show up at a bar called Quindecim and are told that they will set their lives...

I realize that most of you probably won't care too much about all of this, but maybe one of you will, and combined with my desire to do something like this anyway, that's reason enough for me to write up some initial impressions and reviews of what I'm watching in the current anime season. The 3 episode rule is the general rule that you should watch 3 episodes of an anime before making a final decision about whether or not to watch, and that's why 3 week impressions are a fairly common practice.

It is worth noting that I am giving sites where legal...
