This anime truly surprised me in a way I never imagined it could.
An anime about an anime club that references various anime and, on top of that, critiques anime productions in general? This anime is a gem!!
It was very interesting to watch what seemed to be just an anime about students talking about anime turn into well-crafted critiques of the entire artistic production scene that anime propose. The challenges of producing an anime, the horrendous working conditions that animators face, often staying up all night to deliver something well-done, which in the end gets canceled after the first episode because it's heavily criticized for being off-tone?
This anime managed to surprise me a lot.
The eleventh episode is one of the most fantastic episodes I've ever seen in terms of script an…

This is a GEM!
This sat in my watch list for a long time and selected it finally as an eenie meenie miney mo kind of situation.
This is super unique. It's entertaining but also drops a lot of information about shows and about how they work and what certain employees and aspects there are. There are references to different characters from other shows and renames of shows that are completely entertaining (i. e. "Ru:Zero" and "Feathersoba." To tie into the rest of the theme, they include other characters without naming them to avoid copyright. Megumin is most prominent as she is portrayed in a different style but with the same colors and with a single line that she was a mage that did only the most important explosion magic or something like that.
I definitely recommend this. It's a lot o…

An anime about anime that enjoys not just breaking the fourth wall, but totally destroying it. Be prepared for homages, references, and a deep dive into the anime world even before things get wacky. As fits the theme, the characters manage to be both anime stereotypes and mold-breaking at the same time. And of course, the ending theme is incredibly catchy.
Whether it's a discussion of what makes an anime a classic (with some meta-references and 4th wall breaks thrown in), explaining cosplay to a newbie, or talking about the precautions to take when attending a convention, expect the title to live up to its name. It's all anime all the time, and it's fantastic.

I want to be absolutely clear at the start of this review that Animegataris is not actually a 10/10 show. Rather, I scored it a 10/10 purely out of respect for being the first show I have watched that completely transcends the question of being "good" or "bad" and instead exists on its own plane of psychedelic insanity. The series begins as a lighthearted school comedy and ultimately descends completely into surrealism for the last few episodes, blurring the lines between reality and anime, and between the characters in the show and the viewer. When you finish, the first thought that will cross your mind is "well, that sure was something." It's the only appropriate reaction to this series.

This anime is really interesting. In my opinion, the parody contained in this anime sometimes makes me guess what the anime is. And also made me know famous anime that I didn't know about.
The presentation of the story is different from other anime. The beginning of this anime presents an ordinary club story that is interesting and maybe very very rare in the original world. And I sometimes feel weird myself when watching this anime. Episode 11 is a very sharp turning point. How is it possible from episode 10 that started unusual, changed dramatically in episode 11. Although this episode makes me laugh because of the strangeness.
I also like the cast who voices the characters. There are some of my favorite girls. Especially attractive female characters. Also an interesting character desi…

This Anime was great at first. Cool characters, fun references, great music.
It was just a bunch of Otakus doing Otaku stuff.
Then we get into the whole "anime is becoming real in the real world" episodes. Did they run out of ideas so they changed the series completely?
They also made the student council so unlikeable it made the story even more annoying...
I have mixed feelings at this point...
Regarding the voice acting, you could tell most of them tried their best. The animation is clean and some of the characters are unique.
Overall I don't recommend watching the anime for the story, you would be better off listening to the opening instead.

Do you like animes about anime conventions? i do. Why would i give it a 2? because every character is dumb.When i go to anime conventions i don't say ''i hope i buy some very good stuff,this is a rare one john,wow you are so lucky,the cosplay you ar wearing is so wellmade did you make it by yourself you are so talented lets meet next year'' im not that polite at work, imagine myself with my friends.
Why everyone is a goodie goodie go lucky loser?
I want cosplay beefs,broken relationships and bad economic decisions. In this show everyone claps for 2 minutes after buying a poster and they full bow when they buy a bottle of water which by the way there is a 4 minute scene about how refreshing is water at summer.DUMB!!!!
So you have a show about anime conventions, why give it a supernatural…

Animegataris is a story about anime in the literal sense of the word, it is an interesting take in how a comunity or a club of anime fans can behave and conduct themselves in a way that can let them share the things they enjoy the most and although it isn't the best try at the take of anime in a show it is still deserving of being watched.
The story centers around a girl called Asagaya, Minoa who becomes an anime rookie and makes an anime club along with Kamiigusa Arisu, Kouenji Miko, Mushasisakai Kai and Aoyama Erika. They face the difficulties of having a club and especially one dedicated to something as attention seeker as anime, they have the experience they haven't had yet and truly do their best to make the anime club something worth remembering.
It has some flaws that Derailed the…

Animegataris, a very peculiar anime; an anime that I do not have much to say, I just really liked this anime, there are some weaknesses there, but overall it's a good anime, starting with the story, although it's interesting because it's about a story about ' animes '' to the letter, the story of Animegataris is a little weak and somewhat confusing, in fact, one of the negative points of this anime is precisely its history, which is not bad, but could have been better.
About the characters, all I can say is that they are very good too, especially the protagonist, she is very charismatic, other characters, I think they could have been better developed, but still, the characters of Animagataris, are very charismatic, nothing much to comment.
The technical part of the work remains ok for th…

Story-5
The storyline progressed quite smoothly throughout the anime. The episodes leading up to the climax (last 2-3 episodes) progressed at a good pace, however, the last 3 episodes felt rushed, making it a bit difficult to follow along with the plot and may end up confusing you. I actually had to backtrack and rewind a few parts to fully understand and register what happened. Everything is pretty predictable until you hit episode 10 when things get a bit too crazy and out of hand; trust me, there will be moments when you question the sanity of the people who produced Animegataris. However, I personally enjoyed that aspect of Animegataris because it's an interesting turn that I didn't expect at all. From the build-up and foreshadowing, you know that something's coming and it leads you t…

If I could say anything that seems to sum up my final thoughts, it is merely this—full of itself. The anime is like a stuck up piece of trash that sees itself as something greater than it is. All this show is, is one shitty attempted plot-twist after another. They even throw in a little pathetic attempt at "love?" and draw it out for a couple episodes, for no real reason. That also sums up this show to a tee—no reasoning. Everything that happens in this show is merely a convoluted fucking mess and the last two or three episodes really, really epitomize this.
Funny enough, even when they were droning on about the three episode cut in the third episode, I thought that this show may have potential and maybe the poor reviews were undeserved. Goddamn was I wrong. This shit is a travesty and a…

I'll be perfectly honest and that this anime probably doesn't deserve such a high score, I pretty much dropped it after 8 episodes however seeing I was so close to the end I decided to finish it and hell is it a fun ride.
Story 3/10: Holy crap the story is so dumb, but i think I like the satire and stupidity the creators put into it. Most episodes is basically just a guide on how to be an otaku and honestly that's just plain annoying but some episodes I relatively liked 5, 6 in which i get some insight into Otaku culture. The student council constantly trying to shut the club down got repetitive and boring as even Kai mentions in episode 9. However this plot just leads into an even more dumb, stupid and funny as hell plot for the finale. I found myself enjoying the last 3-4 episodes so mu…

Animegataris is an unique anime, that was different from other anime. The first thing that you'll notice is the title, this anime has the word "anime" in it's title as well. Animegataris means "Anime Talking". From this title you can already indicate that this anime is an anime that talks about anime. This is exactly what is is as well. The story is set in an animeclub in a highschool, this club will do all kind of anime related activities like: watching anime, cosplaying, visiting conventions etc. Most of us animefans will totally love the idea of making an anime about being an animefan and this is also why this anime has been this well received for a while, I write for a while because after a certain episode the animequality all of a sudden goes down.
As mentioned earlier in the review,…

I don't have much to say about the show, other than it tried to do more than it should. It started out as a cute show about a girl discovering the world of anime fandom, more or less a simple slice of life. This was fine. As a long time anime fan, it was nice to have a simple show about people enjoying the medium and exploring its various aspects. Of course there was the drama with the school council, but that wasn't too bad. Then the show decidedly to suddenly breach some alternate reality stuff and just got really weird as the real world and anime world somehow started merging and overwriting reality, which all made no sense and really had no foreshadowing outside of the talking cat. In short, the plot development was a mess, and honestly unnecessary.

Yo! Sencho here!
So when i stated this anime i thought it would be a ordinary comedy, in which we would see de daily lives of a group of people reunited by their love for anime. And for most of the time it is pretty much that. And for most of the time its quite enjoyable, i mean the jokes and the vibe are pretty decent, but the characters are cliche, the sound and animation are normal nothing really to stand out, and the story is what you would expect from this kinde of anime, until the final plot starts to develop, for me its shit, and that is this anime biggest problem. Its just bad!
Gave it a 6/10 just because o some jokes are good and the mc is actually pretty adorable.

This review is my 1st review, I'm sorry if this review contains bad grammar or mistypes, and also sorry if this review doesn't meet your satisfication level (since I'm still new at writing review :s) Animegataris (アニメガタリズ) is a good anime about a group of students with same liking.

Story: An anime that basically spoofs on other anime. While it had it's light hearted moments it had it's serious and angry moments as well. Like you know the Student Council is here to make things worse for the anime club, even knowing that as the viewer we should know its coming, but dammit it still pissed me off when they did things. I have to give a lot of credit to the writers for an original script.
Art and Animation: WAO World, holy lord where did this company come from? Please feel free to stay around because this Art and Animation was basically flawless. My goodness I felt like it was a treat for my eyes every time I watched Animegataris.
Sound: The opening was very fun and catchy. DJ Neko Sensei is awesome! The ending was cute and played well with the Idol comparison. The bgm d…

Well I didn't have high hopes for this anime but I finish this anime laughing during every minute of it.
This anime made a lot of jokes and as a whole is a parody to the anime industry and it's fans on how weird it can get, which made me laugh a lot during my time seeing it. Its a weird anime but its pretty funny and the characters are pretty enjoyable and made fun of a lot of anime stereotypes. The best I can say for the art and sound for this anime is that is decent but, looking pass that, you can find yourself enjoying this anime a lot.
I recommend you to watch this anime to have some laughs and pass the time. If you know more about the anime industry and stereotypes then thats better to go in and watch it. I have a fun time during it and I hope you do as well.

Animegataris. It is an anime about otakus, and it is anime FOR otakus. Its biggest appeal is being full of meta references from otaku culture and other anime or genres. You'll see a lot of references that otakus practice like ship wars, or the famous three episode rule.
...The anime starts as that. And I loved it when it was only simply that. The anime is full of references from other anime that are just fun to spot, like famous scenes, quotes or characters. Often it's just enjoyable to see a mention of Ru:Zero, Anosuba, or Guden Daran.
But as the episode numbers reaches the end, it becomes much, much more. A masterpiece. Well, that might be an exaggeration, but it just really clicked with me perfectly. These creators made a casual anime, broke it into little pieces, embraced the stupidi…

I thought this was a pretty good show, so I wanted to go ahead and add a review providing some positive notes and defense of the series. I think it deserves some more attention, and hopefully some of what I mention will help some people who are on the fence about watching it after seeing it's current rating on this site. I'll remain vague about some specific aspects, but the review won't be entirely spoiler free.
I started watching this show because I am a sucker for series that center around the mediums I like, gaming and Anime. If a show is about characters doing something that I also do, or can do, like playing card games, board games, video games, or in this instance, watching Anime, then I feel more of a connection with it. It's something that is replicatable, and makes me feel more…
