Maid Sama!


A great balance of comedy, action and love- three of those essences that can turn any anime into a great bombshell. I first saw Maid Sama on TV and thought it might be some random boring romantic series only for girls, but trust me it's much more! Its heart gripping episodes just make you want to watch more. In fact I think it may be the best romantic comedy out there.

The story line revolves around 'Misaki' who after a lot of hard work has become the student council president of her high school which has just turned into a co ed institution from a full boy school, so there are more boys than girls. But coming from a poor background Misaki has to work in a cafe called Maid Latte dressed up as a maid. If anyone were to find out about this it would be a source of never ending pain and teasing for her. But one day 'Usui' who is the most popular guy in the school finds out and develops an attraction towards her which leads to several problems later. So its all about how she starts depending on him and liking him while she used to think he was a useless, perverted and irritating person who entered her life just to cause problems. This transition takes place due to several events that take place during the series that are hard to miss!


Ill get to the drawbacks, firstly the fillers can be very boring, then the love circles formed can sometimes get dragged a bit too much, even though it happens very rarely.

I give it a 8 1/2, because it really is a great anime.

Black Jack


Doctor Black Jack is a good anime, it's something that would completely catch your interest and force you to keep watching. Every episode has a great story in itself and can even be a bit educating. You really cant get bored of it. Black Jack is probably the coolest and most awesome doctor to have ever been shown in an anime before. His attitude and techniques are what make this a great anime.

The story is obviously based on a doctor called black jack, who has lost his license due to certain reasons and therefore cannot legally work in a hospital anymore. So he works as an independent medical doctor who only accepts cases that are presented to him. Due to great skills he is highly recommended by most people, but unfortunately charges an obscenely large fee, so only the rich can afford to hire him. Along with the high fee, most people don't like his attitude and think he's a greedy and unkind miser while he is actually the opposite.
He has the capabilities to handle the most difficult and strange medical cases, and due to one such strange case he comes across Pinoko who is still a part of her sister- not like conjoint twins (you'll understand if you watch it) and he gives her a body, or rather creates it himself. The sister refuses to have anything to do with her and leaves her in the doctors care. Pinoko is one of the few who actually understand the doctor and actually starts to like him which is awkward because even though she's 18 years old, she had the body of a 10 year old. Anyways, watch the anime to witness the amazing miracles that the doctor can perform in the medical field that will leave you breathless.


the drawbacks of the anime are that it's based on the medical field, but looses grip of reality really often and shows us things are are not possible and sometimes senseless- even for an anime.

Overall I give the anime a 7 1/2, Quite decent.

God Save Our King!


A series almost forgotten by most people, God Save Our King is one of the best anime's you can see. Its breathtaking story line and twists and turns make it something worth watching. It has obviously not been given as much credit as it should have been given, but I'm here to try and change that. This anime is so addictive that at the end of all 117 episodes, you'll be craving for more. its one of those anime's that make you feel like crying at the end of it because you don't want it to end.

the story is rather intriguing. 'Yuri' was a normal high school boy who's main worries were studies and who thought magic was a joke, he believed this right until the day he was literally flushed down a toilet and ended up entering a world beyond that of his own, a world where humans and demons where constantly at war, a world where he was crowned demon king. It turns out Yuri was meant to become king and help him loyal and humble servants to attain peace for their world. He possesses great powers which he learns how to control as the series goes on, and he can move from one world to another by coming in contact with water. He may be a 'Demon king' but is kinder than most normal people. and here demons are not cliche monsters with horns but look like normal people with, some without any abilities. There are many main characters who play major roles in this series like Conrad his godfather, and his best friend who has a strange past and his own intentions, which may be good or bad, you'll have to watch to find out. will Yuri manage to bring peace into this world? will he manage to be a capable king? can he manage this duty? will he be the only demon king to unite the demons and humans? find out by watching the series, and trust me you wont stop.


The drawbacks are really small. those of you who are looking for a serious anime should turn away, this one is funny as hell, certain filler episodes can be a bit boring but they are very uncommon. basically i really cant find any good drawbacks for the series which is a really good thing.

I give the anime a 10/10. something I rarely do, so you know its great.
