Hayate no Gotoku! - Can't Take My Eyes Off You - First Half Review

Hayate no Gotoku! - Can't Take My Eyes Off You


Studio: ManGlobe
Adapted From: Manga
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Plot Summary: The story of Hayate Ayasaki working alongside with maid Maria at Nagi Sanzenin's mansion continues. One day, Nagi receives a phone call from "Area 51," inviting her to the universe. Nagi wants to accept the offer, only to be stopped by Maria.

My Review: I didn't actually have time to properly give review but its about the same with the "Personal Opinion" so whats the point of this one -.-; dunno too much thinking so accept this with love.

Art Style and Visual Effects:

If i were to compare the First / Second Season of this anime i would probably say it has improved through the years. There isn't really a difference since this is a comedy "romance" anime based so ill just keep moving. The art has really improved if you look back...



The Visual Effects are one of the best for comedy animes since Hayate's strength is exaggerated to a point to knowing every skill from any other anime....except I'm not sure this anime contains much references compare its previous 2 seasons. There are still brief references still.... thats the highlight for this anime after all.

Not really a visual effect.... but cmon show some blood punching glass but theres your visual effect on the below image =p



Rating: 7.5/10

Story Setting:

Somehow the main plot has been lost within the comedy of this anime lol. There were some mentions about it so that main whole point and plot doesn't fall in hole completely. However still gets covered by good laughs. To be honest i don't really know what would be the difference from the original series of season 1/2 to this one since they've said its a different story. If you compare that manga where its current chapter is to this anime... Pretty much the story of the anime skipped ahead of the manga temporary. Not only that the plot twist would be Nagi's "proclaimed" sister and Nagi's father as the key points of the anime.






The comedy still never fails me for a good couple of laughs but I'm still lost in the story.

Deal with this one for the lol's



The Op song doesn't really catch my attention but it does fit the romantic comedy mood. The Ed song is probably implying something though its really catchy. I'm still curious what this character that appears in the anime suppose represent.

Lets just simplify this. Read the manga may be random but there seems to be no end for now lol.

Rating: 9/10

Personal Opinion:

I've always thought about this in my head... how did i ever managed to keep up with this series lol? Well this series will be different compare to previous series seasons with a different plot. Dunno is there anything different yet besides some "mystery" behind certain events? They never got rid of their main genre "comedy" so its fine. Nothing much ill just watch until the end for my final thought of their new plot twist of an anime.

Need more isumi....wheres the cell phone chapter!

"Project" K "Anime Review (First Half)

I delayed this way too long... originally i was suppose to do a double feature after Btooom! With Hayate no Gotoku! - Can't Take Your Eyes Off review but i decided to do this one after i finished watching it. I'll make sure to do it after this one. So here's "K"



"Project" K (Anime)





Studio: GoHands
Adapted From: Manga
Genre: action, comedy, drama, fantasy, science fiction
Plot Summary: Ashinaka High School is known for its unique setting: the entire campus is built on an island. Yashiro Isana, aka Shiro, is having lunch with a cat on one of the school rooftops. After his lunch break, Shiro goes on an errand for his classmate Kukuri to prepare for their upcoming school festival, only to be chased by some intimidating-looking men.








My Review: I put this anime like on hold for awhile before i even got into watching it during the start. A couple of things: 1. i am glad i kept it on hold 2. i wasn't to keen on this anime at first but it did spark an interest. However did not read the manga, but its being picked up again so i might check it out.
 

Art Style and Visual Effects:

http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/32400000/k-Project-k-32414232-1600-501.jpg

The anime's art style doesn't seem to be bad. I didn't expect this anime to get somewhat fanservice for their main female character "Neko" at least that's her claimed name for the time.

Its pretty funny if you check ANN's info about "K(Tv) you can out their themes fit almost every single category and explains majority of their art style for this anime





Themes:
bishounen, catgirl, clans, fanservice, futuristic school, superpowers

Their visual effects on their "Superpower" for visual effects usually are like auras sometimes able to destroy stuff. In episode 2 you see alot of visual effects when it comes to "Neko's" illusions which were funny. There isn't much visual effects in the first couple of episodes but i do expect more in the upcoming ones.


Rating: 8.5/10

Story Setting:



The story seems off for me to grasp the idea what this anime and manga plot is. Even with ANN or wiki with a vague description of the plot....i still have no idea what the plot is really. I can only grasp that the plot involves:

"The Color Kings: Red,Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, and i guess White" The White King (Colorless King) is depicted as the seventh king (ref to episode 2-3) to have killed someone who recorded his own death. Yashiro Isana, aka Shiro has lunch one day on the roof having a sense of trouble while taking a nap. He was later sent to get things for his classmate Kukuri to shop. He gets attack from HOMRA men.... he then gets saved by chance by a man with a sword but learns that he is going to be killed cause he looks similar to someone. Eventually Shiro escapes using made up story to get away and make it back to his dorm. After being lost in thought a mysterious girl appears in his bed next to him who names herself "Neko"

I would probably sum up the plot to that point...though it doesn't mean i know the whole story. The story pretty much starts confusing like most animes do. They show a "somewhat" action scene before heading towards the main story. Anyways ep 1 i found it blah until the somewhat end until it cuts off heading towards episode 2 with a cliffhanger. Ep 2 was pretty much had good comedy relief especially when it comes to "Neko's" Illusions and the mystery behind what she really is...


  You can ignore the subtitles below the screenshot. Just wanted to a show one of the funny scenes for the episode. Really unexpected comedy.






The following episodes are pretty much more comedy until it eventually comes to a point of the truth at the end of episode 4.


Can you keep up?
The story settings is really hard to depict but mainly you have to think about the keyword "Kings" i guess

Voice Acting / Music:


Daisuke Namikawa as Yashiro Isana
Daisuke Ono as Kuroh Yatogami
Jun Fukuyama as Misaki Yata
Kenjiro Tsuda as Mikoto Suoh
Mamoru Miyano as Saruhiko Fushimi

Takahiro Sakurai as Izumo Kusanagi

Yui Horie as Anna Kushina
Yūichi Nakamura as Rikio Kamamoto
Yuuki Kaji as Tatara Totsuka


Eh, now that i think about it..... I was way into the comedy of the anime i didn't realize the voices for this anime....pretty interesting comboination i am seeing though.

Opening Theme:
"KINGS" by Angela
Ending Theme:
"Tsumetai Hiya, Hitori" (冷たい部屋、一人) by Mikako Komatsu
Insert song:
"Itsuka no Zero Kara" (いつかのゼロから) by Angela (ep 2)

The music in this anime aren't that bad. It goes me curious how the battle music will sound on the upcoming episodes. The music is roundabout has some hip-hop/jazz like tune so its not bad at all.

Rating: 9/10

Game/Manga/Light Novel:

I didn't start on the manga yet to be honest but by the looks its called "K - Memory of Red" this is more like prologue before the anime begins. Only 5 chapters have been translated and its kinda slow

This is pretty much spoilers but you could avoid not looking at it....somehow...


The main point about showing this is the brief summary below that shows a vague description of the characters.

Rating: 8/10

Personal Opinion:



I should just get to the point rather then state the same thing i always say in new animes i watch the first time. When this was first mention i didn't know what this was due to lack of information finding what the heck it was called besides "K". Until they announced and showed promos what the anime is: which has bishounen guys with swords, a neko type girl, super natural aura powers, and clan (gangs). Didn't like at first cause had to many guy characters and pretty much if you look up images or check blog sites.... this would be listed having yaoi involved.... i already seen a couple while looking for decent images for this review.....

Without thinking about the yaoi...*ahem* This seems like an anime worth the time to watch being action with some decent scenes, drama..... some twist with involving "kings", comedy which you'll see alot, fantasy.... already beyond expectation....neko, sci-fi.... advance tech.... even robots that can clean without you lifting a finger!?

Btooom! First Half Review

Throwing a double feature in a bit might as well get in before then. Lacking sleep.... feeling tired.... hungry.... just made me think of this anime. Moar games!

http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/4/40977.jpgBtooom!

Studio: Madhouse
Adapted From: Manga
Genre: Action, Romance
Plot Summary: Ryōta Sakamoto is an unemployed 22-year-old who lives with his mother. In the real world, there may be nothing really special about him, but online, he's one of the world's top players of the combat game called Btooom!.
One day, he awakes in what appears to be a tropical island, though he has no memory of how or why he has come to be there. While wandering around, Ryōta sees someone and calls out for help. The stranger responds by throwing a bomb at him! Now Ryōta realizes both that his life is in danger and that he has somehow been trapped in a real-life version of his favorite game! Will Ryōta be able to survive long enough to figure out how and why he ended up here?



My Review: I gave this one a gamble not knowing about the manga itself. It was mentioned through some of my online friends about it and i gave it a shot to watch. The first episode wasn't really that bad however felt like it dragged on for a bit; however it was the first episode. After the first episode it did give me a interest in the manga so i checked it out. And it got me interested though it was sad they stopped translation process BUT never fear it was picked up again without no fear of english licensing. Lets continue on...


Art Style and Visual Effects:



http://www.animeout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/animepaper.netpicture-standard-anime-btooom-btooom-picture-242999-suemura-preview-70c7a998-600x411.jpg

You can tell this is "Madhouse" style of art. Not a big fan of company much but they are one of the few anime studios that actually put "blood" compare to other anime studios where it gets heavily edited or changed until the dvd/blu-ray is released for an unedited version. Also Madhouse secondary main feature is their choice of anime to adapt where a lot of ppl tend to die.









Their artwork never seems to flatter they are "mad" Just like this anime


Rating: 9/10


Story Setting:


The Story where you play a real life game with the stakes of Life and Death on the line. Seems like a good thrill. The only problem when it comes to action animes; they usually drag for a long time depending how far story is (manga/LN) and how often the studio continues to delay. The manga doesn't seem to be long since the goal of the story is mainly to get off the island and survive. However it can continue into a spin off but lets leave that another day. Hopefully its not 12 episodes... but hard to tell since translations for the manga is up to 51 as of you since someone picked it up again. If you want to see blood and death might what to check this out.

Voice Acting / Music:




Kanata Hongou as Ryōta Sakamoto
Suzuko Mimori as Himiko
Meijin Takanohashi as Takanohashi
Miyuki Sawashiro as Kōsuke Kira
Toru Ohkawa as Kiyoshi Taira
Yūichi Nakamura as Nobutaka Oda

Looks like Kanata Hongou is new to the anime industry. I dont really much complains about the current main voices of this anime. The music inserts for the anime sound good too bad only appears during a battle but i can expect 1-2 music inserts from now on.


Op and Ed are not bad


Opening Theme:
"No Pain, No Game" by Nano
Ending Theme:
"Aozora (Blue Skies)" by May'n

Rating: 7/10


Game/Manga/Light Novel:

I highly recommend reading the manga Btooom Manga if you need an idea on the story. I kinda skimmed the Manga at the moment but ill read from first to last when i get the chance to do it. I got pretty excited that a translator group picked up the manga again since the previous translator group dropped it due to English Licensing and they are really picky on it but i won't complain since they do most of the translation which i could understand at least. Note: If you read the manga you'll discover episode 2 of the anime appears around chapter 30 or so. Its like a special chapter i think.... but im going through memory.

Rating: 10/10


Personal Opinion:

Even though i have to read the manga it really did spark my interest to go further into this manga/anime. Usually there are very few action type manga/animes i like... lesson learn if you like(d) Bleach/Naruto etc. However i don't have a problem with them just too many fillers and story still never ending.

Remember this is only based on what i think... when it comes to the end will either be highly approved or a disappointment. Cause at this moment i'll feel disappointed if its only 12 episodes says "ANN' Btooom ANN

Rating: 10/10

Overall Ratting: 9/10

(dunno if i did the right math on overall...dazing out pretty much)

Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne (First Half)

Studio: Studio Wanpack
Adapted From: Light Novel
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Fanservice, Ecchi
Plot Summary: The story centers around Akito Himenokōji, a boy who was separated from his twin sister Akiko, but they end up living under the same roof together during high school. (Taken from ANN)













My Review: TOO many complexes in the anime?! Actually its annoying enough to do review from this point when it comes to this type of anime *sigh*


Art Style and Visual Effects:
Honestly its hard to find an example picture to give a brief opinion on the art style of the anime. Majority of it artwork is close to fanservice and ecchi scenes.....well not ecchi but its just borderline. Ill try to avoid the fanservice type of artwork but lets just continue how the character's look.



 The Artwork for the characters aren't that bad for example Akiko. The character designers really know how to portray her personality when it comes to her brother complex. However, it does kinda get creepy when they show how much affection she has with her brother in certain scenes.





I would like to review more onto the art work to be honest but lets just sum up majority of the pictures i can use that are "not ecchi/fanservice" are very limited. Let alone most of them are just funny reactions. Artworks is good but not great.



Rating: 7/10

Story Setting: 

 When I started reading Light Novels I was attracted to reading "Sayonara Piano Sonata" which is being translated by C.E. Light Novels check out their site if you want to read this anime's light novel. Anyways continuing on: When I compare the Light Novel and the Anime how they start... it is not what i expected in reality but then again Anime studios go their own pace and choose how far they want the story to go in. Pretty much if i were to compare the light novel and anime how it starts the studio did only one part of the Volume 1 and then jumped toward probably near end Volume 2 for the first episode. However at this point i can't really compare since i skimmed Volume 2 which i need to read myself. This is just my opinion how i don't like new animes should start but hardly doubt that since its only 12 episodes long and it basically comedy.

Continuing on about the Story Setting: The setting about a Brother and sister reuniting after being apart for so long. The sister grows a brother complex being apart for so long while the brother has a grows a secret sister complex due to being a author of a book that involves incest. At the school the student council decide to take action breaking the complex by taking Akito turning Akiko's actions into comedy. The Student council president..... the student council vice president, the childhood friend/account, the sister/secretary. Pretty much sums up a harem which has no end.  



Rating: 7/10

Voice Acting / Music:


Ibuki Kido as Akiko Himenokōji
Ryota Ohsaka as Akito Himenokōji
Asami Shimoda as Haruomi Ginbei Sawatari
Eri Kitamura as Arashi Nikaido
Megumi Takamoto as Kaoruko Jinno
Minori Chihara as Anastasia Nasuhara
Sumire Morohoshi as Arisa Takanomiya

Dunno how i can review this really besides go by how the actors during anime i guess. Actually i can't do a review on this based on my opinion ><;  Besides finding that character Akiko "guhuehue" sound creepy

The music.... beware don't leave the anime episode running constantly or you'll get annoyed with the OP/ED music. I'm not saying its bad.... its just i found it annoying enough i didn't pause the video and left it run to let me burst with madness. 

Rating: 6/10

Game, Manga, Light Novel: 

Volume 1
Volume 2
Volume 3

Manga

The Light Novel seeing as its the source and basically the main story to be used in the anime it is really recommended to read. I can't give much details about the light novel without spoiling it....though i spoiled it for myself skipping Volume 2 and jumping to Volume 3 ..... last chapter..... now i am dealing with a cliffhanger awaiting the next Volume.

The manga if you want pictures involve its pretty good to get a glimpse of it but i don't really like some of the pictures drawn if you do read it you'll understand what i mean. Its not a bad manga just gives you the "shrug" feel.


Exactly......


Rating: 8.5/10

Personal Opinion:

The anime adaptation might have some potential for awhile though its has only been 4 episodes so its only 1/4 of the way before the series or season ends. But its a Bro/Sis type of anime that will probably involve incest in some way.... except i can't really spoil it.... unless you want go read Volume 3 last chapter of the light novel for the cliffhanger. However giving this hint might spark curiosity or a hint. Well who cares if you choose to glimpse it...its your problem meh. Its not bad of an anime though more like i chose to watch this to kill time =p


Rating: 6.5/10

Little Busters! Review (First Half)

Studio: J.C Staff
Adapted From: Visual Novel (Game)
Genre: Comedy, Action, Romance, Drama, Tragedy(in one way)
Plot Summary: Little Busters is an adaptation of Key's romance adventure visual novel of the same name. Riki Naoe was orphaned when his parents died, but his depression is slowly lifted when he befriends a group of kids calling themselves the Little Busters. The series takes place during his second year of high school.



My Review: I've always looked forward to an anime adaptation of this game. When i first played the game it was pretty much only 70%ish translated until i finished the 30% by guessing the last choices without a walkthrough for the end.... 2 words ka---boom. Also pretty fun due to the mini games: baseball, battles, and other small type mini games. Usually if you played and/or beat the game 100% through you would know how the story would go and how the route is. Still i say i should do like a half review on all animes to be honest... since it can go good at first but it depends on the end results. I am glad it got an anime adaptation even if they mess up the anime version i know the true story... meaning you should play the game since its already translated 100%.....except the Ecstasy version.


Art Style and Visual Effects:







The Art style isn't really bad for especially for J.C Staff doing the anime adaptation. There is always that one thing i wish this anime was done by.....Kyoto Animations.... sadly i cant be too picky when it comes to animation studios picking up animes they will work on but ill just let it go and watch until the end. If you compare the game and the anime i like the game animation characters better... dunno its probably i am more use to the game then the anime. This is why ill probably do a "After Review" once the anime finishes!

There really hasnt been any visual effects in the anime so far but i do expect some in the later run. So mostly the judgement score goes by the art.

Rating: 9/10



Story Setting:

One thing i like how J.C Staff did was they started the story exactly when the game started. From this point on your game knowledge kicks in what the studio had to cut out and take their pick of choices. Somewhat you can tell what they cut out to get more screening time for more scenes but i think its a good choice. For example they cut down the battle mini game with Rin into at least 10 seconds through speaker phone. You can tell they use the visual novel cause you hear and "item" used in the background and it was fast forward skip. It would be interesting how the battle mini game would look if it were shown in animation... technically it was shown in episode 2 with Masato and Kengo battling with a Ping Pong Paddle against Hand Soap which ended less then 5 seconds.

There only has been 2 episodes so far but until the anime ends i can give a final review. I do recommended watching if you like "Key" cause they always have a theme for their projects afterall. 

But anyways its really anything goes at this point i would suggest either playing the game if you haven't to get a inside view on what to expect. But you already played the game you should know whats to come except you won't know how the studio plans to arrange it. Compare to how Kyoto Animation did Clannad in 2 seasons while putting against a jigsaw puzzle into a slot to complete the picture. Though this is probably spoilers but during their preview ads it seem hinted they'll reveal all the heroine characters routes before hitting the true route.

Hopefully its not like Amagami where each heroine had 4 episodes to tell their story then a new season giving 2 episodes...

Rating: 9.5/10



Voice Acting / Music:

The Voice Acting.... is the original cast from the game except 3 characters had to be replace or be voiced by someone else but that doesn't matter at least its mostly the original cast!


Hikaru Midorikawa as Kyōsuke Natsume
Tomoe Tamiyasu as Rin Natsume
Yui Horie as Riki Naoe
Keiko Suzuki as Haruka Saigusa
Naomi Wakabayashi as Kudryavka Noumi
Natsumi Yanase as Komari Kamikita
Nobutoshi Canna as Masato Inohara
Ryouko Tanaka as Yuiko Kurugaya
Sora Tokui as Sasami Sasasegawa
Yuiko Tatsumi as Mio Nishizono
Yusei Oda as Kengo Miyazawa
Yuu Kamonomiya as Kyōsuke Natsume (young)
Ai Nonaka as Sakiko Watanabe
Akemi Kanda as Rei Kawagoe
Ryou Hirohashi as Yukari Nakamura

With Yui Horie voicing Riki the Main Character: Technically its not a bad choice to have Yui Horie voice the male lead but there were times inside my head that they couldve stick with the usual voices...with that being said expect i get the understanding you can't have Tomoe Tamiyasu voice 3 characters at once in an anime adaptation. So, its not really a bad choice still and sounds close how Tomoe plays Riki in the game version.

Sora Tokui replacing Tomoe's other character when i watch the first episode with her voicing the character.... it didn't even seem like Tomoe's voice was replaced at all....it sounds so close to the Sasami character as if you were playing the game still....though the laugh is annoying as usual heh.

Now Yuiko Tatsumi replacing the original voice of Mio is sad but i won't judge now until her character appears till then. I do wish the original voice of Mio to give a successful birth for her child.

Tomoe Tamiyasu.... Protector of the Neku's and etc the main female lead. Its pretty interesting how her character will develop in the anime. Not much to say but expect good expectations on the inside story.

Other voices i await their moment of glory to bring some laughter, good times, and memories as if you were still in high school.

Oh the Music in the anime is the same as the Visual Novel so pretty much will sum up the characters themes and etc. Sorry i gave a lame answer for the music since its pretty obvious how the studio will use the music from the original game obviously.

Rating: 10/10



Game,Manga, Light Novel:

I would really recommended playing the game since its fun due to the mini games: battles, baseball game, and other events. Since the anime adaptation is based on the game you should expect lack of how much will be cut off in the end. Every character as you go in-depth has a deep story behind their own shadow. Basically you'll enjoy the 70% of game with comedy and fun until we get to the conclusion of which Heroine you choose. However, between 60-70% does start showing some signs before hitting the Heroine's actual route.

The True Route which i will not spoil it... in the game is pretty long so this draws the line how J.C. Staff will conclude it.

Key did make a Ecstasy version for Little Busters! which contains "somewhat" H scenes. But you get 3 additional Heroines to go for. However, it is not translated yet for the 3 Heroine's parts and the extra dialogue added during conversation scenes during the game.

Rating: 10/10

Personal Opinion:

This has been something i expected to watch after completing the game the first time when it was not finished translated....then i completed it again while translated and felt Key does an amazing job with their choice of theme and story.

You have either have played the game or played previous Key games to understand....well technically you don't... go to tumblr and watch ppl post gifs and screams of agony to show how sad they are.

Would I recommended watching the anime: Yes
Would I recommended playing the Visual Novel: Yes



Remember until you get to episode 10ish or somewhat the Anime is still boring cause its like a build up type of thing... if you expected some sort of action type thing to happen....go rewatch bleach.

Rating: 10/10


Overall:  9.5/10

The overall rate can change once the anime hits its conclusion point so don't worry about the number much.

Accept this Loli

Blogging just for the hell of it / Review on Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai

Since i got alot of free time and i feel bored looking at my usual daily sites for updates which probably only last an hour max before i get bored. So i decided to review my own opinions on anime ill watch for the season. I won't be picky so ill try to watch at least 2-3 episodes before giving my final review on the anime. Pretty much if i gave a review after one episode it'll just result being a bad. Well I am just doing this just to kill my boredom. So i will be reviewing the Fall Anime 2012 season; however i don't know if i want to review movies/oad/ova/etc just going overall.

Well before i continue dragging i might as well do one for the time being.

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!

Studio: Kyoto Animation
Adapted From: Light Novel
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance
Plot Summary: High school freshman Yūta Togashi was once a "chūnibyō patient" i.e. an overly self-conscious middle schooler. He and begins a new life in high school -- unsuccessfully. His classmate Rikka Takanashi, a "current" chūnibyō patient, has found traces of residual symptoms on him and used the fact to force Togashi "making a contract" with her.
My Review: Honestly i didn't think was a great pick at first when i saw an article on ANN to be done by Kyo Animations... that's at first but i was wrong. The reason i thought it wasn't a great pick by Kyo Animation cause i expected them to pick up "Little Busters!" at first since its a game done by KEY since they've done other titles by Key but you can't complain...well you can but better off not wasting your time. Sadly i wish i could read the Light Novel of this but there is none out and no translation.
Lets continue on....  
Art Style and Visual Effects:
The Art of the characters are great as usual since its being done by Kyoto Animations. The Art Visual Effects is pretty awesome even though it seems exaggerated; however it is comedy/drama after all. Plus the story is mostly involves delusional scenes in the anime. 
I see the "H" in you
Rating: 10/10
Story Setting: 
Since this is comedy based the story can go anywhere to be honest except we got drama/romance involved in the genre so there is an actual plot! Its pretty funny how exaggerating the story is when it comes to the delusional scenes as if it were a real battle pretty much i had to face palmed at least once or twice during the delusional scenes...





Every time i see a delusional scene you just have to laugh or face palm how exaggerating the story is. Well without it then i guess it could be pretty bland. I guess without the comedy then there would probably be a dark twist plot involved. 




With drama and comedy genre combine they form... DELUSION! So that sums of drama! The romance in the story so far is rarely hinted for the moment since its only been 3 episodes. However it is hinted episode 3 of some sort of affection at the end of episode 3. That's just my speculation anyways. The main male character is too obvious to miss. Overall the story seems interesting makes you think and wonder did you ever go through that stage thinking "you were a fantasy character that meant to save the world" but not really....good times back in the day.
 so ill skip to my review rate

Rating: 3.3 for Comedy + 3.3 for Drama + 2.8 for Romance + .01 for plot twist = 9.5/10

Voice Acting / Music: 
Jun Fukuyama as Yūta Togashi
Maaya Uchida as Rikka Takanashi
Azumi Asakura as Kumin Tsuyuri
Chinatsu Akasaki as Shinka Nibutani
Eri Sendai as Toka Takanashi
Kaori Fukuhara as Kuzuha Togashi
Kikuko Inoue as Nanase Tsukumo
Mami Shitara as Yumeha Togashi
Souichiro Hoshi as Makoto Isshiki
Sumire Uesaka as Sanae Dekomori
Yuri Amano as Yuuta's Mom 
 In the end with comedy you have to bring in the big guns: Jun Fukuyama. Not a bad voice actor when it
 comes to comedy but at times his voice gets annoying when it comes to the exaggerating scenes where his character yells. I don't hate him but just when hes in character i guess meh.  Maaya Uchida playing the main female lead doesn't break down on her character since her character composed to a point where shes makes delusion a reality. Not only that shes make cute "ow" sound when hit with something.

Music usually goes with the setting of the story so its barely noticed in these types of animes unless it was like Key's visual novels where most of the characters or based on setting had their own theme music. I think the only music you'll probably hear is the OP/ED and Delusional battle music

Voice Acting Rating: 5/5
Music Rating: 3.5/5

Total up to 8.5/10
Game/Manga/Light Novel: 
In a sense i can't really give a rating on this one. If i were reviewing for a game is pretty easy how to review / rate. But i guess i am doing my own style of rating. I could probably give a default 5 as rating since it was able to get an anime adaption since it seems unfair still
Rating: 5/10
Personal Opinion:
After watching Episodes 1-3 so far: it is an anime i think worth sticking for the fall season. Its too bad i can't grasp the whole story since its only 12 episodes besides ova/oad if they are included in the end of the season. And not able to read the light novel is also another thing since there is no translation done. Btw usually i skip the OP or ED of an anime but i took the time to watch it and found that the OP of anime can really make you get headache.

Rating: 9/10


Overall Rating: 8.5/10 Its not really a bad result to be honest still better if i could grasp the actual source Light Novel for this one especially to give a better score. Well this is only a personal review.
Would I Recommend watching the anime: Yes
Would I Recommend Reading the Light Novel: Yes because animation studios skip and leave out alot of details of the story.
