Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!

Recommend: Yes

Thoughts:

Overall an interesting premise

Characters were written alright, not distracting but not amazing

Some 'fanservice', but doesn't detract from the show

Some very funny moments

No forced romance

A lot of really annoying cliches you would expect from a show like this don't show at all, and is quite refreshing

Overall quite consistent

MC actually learns abilities and grows throughout

It quickly skips over some arcs from the manga, which makes some character introductions very clunky, but doesn't happen often (I think once actually)

Notes: I really liked this show, and the fact that the usual 'awkward MC' trope doesn't really show much, if at all is very pleasant. There were some very silly moments (such as there being an actual zoom-shake being used, which I was crying laughing at), but they worked well in the comedy-nature of it.

Baby Driver

Recommend: Definitely

Thoughts:

Car scenes were very well choregraphed and shot

Like, they are so much fun

The plot is well done and works well

It was also quite realistic

Ending was perfect

Interesting emphisis on music, it works very well

Musical score is very good (it should be due to focus on it)

Notes: From the start it is very strong, and as it goes and you learn more it only gets stronger. The ending looks like it was going for a annoying ending, but quickly turns and is exceptional.

Wonder Woman

Recommend: Yes, Especially if you like superhero films

Thoughts:

Pretty standary superhero origin story, but very well done

Pacing is a little weird, but origin stories tend to have this

Ending fight was a given, but a bit over the top

Romance was done tastefully (although it probably wasn't necessary)

Notes: I haven't watched any other of the DC Universe thus far, but this film was very good, and if they keep it up, then the gritty/dark feel will make for a good competitor to the Marvel Universe.

Little Witch Academia (Film)

Recommend: Definitely

Thoughts:

Short but very nice story done well

Gorgeous animation

Lovable characters

Good world setting

Avoids obvious clichés

Notes: I don't have too much to say due to it's short run-time, but all-in-all I loved it.

Kuromukuro

Recommend: Yes

Thoughts:

Odd mix of mecha and 'school-girl' anime - however, more emphisis is put onto the mecha side making it not too bad

CGI 3D mechas were done mostly well, they didn't seem too out of place with the rest of the 2D animation (it is still slightly noticable, but it ignorable quite easily)

Some odd actions/reactions taken by some of the characters, but these are good-intentioned and don't actually detract from the series

Ending was mostly satisfying (more under spoilers section)

Characters development was average

Favourite character: Ogre

The main thing that bugged me about the ending was the fact that the fate of the mechs from the Efi Dorg is not discussed almost at all (my hope was that it would be put onto the ship and taken with them to aid the rebellion).

The story was quite unique realistically, and the actions taken by the UN and most of the humans in power was very accurate to realistic reactions.

Cowboy Bebop Movie

Recommend: Definitely

Thoughts:

Keeps up with the main series exceedingly well

Contained story, but was very good

Animation and fight scenes were superb

Villain was interesting but a little too 'edgy'

Ending was quite good and worked well

Notes: The line 'I like a girl who can kick my ass' only seems to exist in the dub, and not the sub (appears to have been added in)

Favourite characters: same as main series

Cowboy Bebop

Recommend: Definitely

Thoughts:

Very good characters and character development

Animation is good

Envrionments are well done

Workings of the world (e.g. the way the ships move and centripital living quarters) are remarkable close to current world and are very well done

Generally very good world-building

Episodes are sperate in story but linked in progression

Ending was good and fit well

Few anime-esque clichés

Favourite characters: Ed & Ein (Spike, Jet, & Faye are all join close second)

The ending was really good, it fully wrapped up the series for me and didn't leave me hanging, which is really good considering what they did. The ending left Spike either dead or alive, depending on what the watcher feels like should happen (allowing the watcher to have thoughts after and add something works well), and for me, either way is a good ending (although I prefer the ending that he is alive).

The fact that Ed and Ein leave the rest a few episodes before the end bugged me, as I liked them so much, but overall it didn't detract from the series as it wasn't forced and was done quite well.
