I ended up picking up Shattered Angels because it had some minor connections to Destiny of the Shrine Maiden, which I felt I liked more than most. However, Shattered Angels has some serious story-telling issues that I really couldn't overlook, despite a decent conclusion.
Story & Characters: We start out Shattered Angels with Kuu Shiratori, who is a pretty normal high school student in the city known as Academia. She frequently has dreams about someone she deems to be her prince, and Kuu feels that its fate that she fall in love with him. One day, when a new student is added to her class, she immediately recognizes him as the prince in her dreams. During her time in school, the school is attacked by Tarlotte, a girl who seems to have the ability to summon the powers of a mech unit. The ne…

"Even though i am boring empty and useless you still wanted to be with me"

No not really and yes it sucks to be you

Man this was a steaming pile of garbage. I'm an old guy and in no way the target market for this but I think anyone will recognize it for the crap it is is. I'd have to go so far as to say it should probably be restricted from it's target audience. There's a lot of ideas that young girls could do without picking up.
Characters are the first place anime fail. If you like the characters, hate the characters or at the very least relate to their situation, even the worst of anime can be enjoyable. If they fail though the anime fails and shattered angel's doesn't have a single solid main character. They have not a single believable motivation amongst the…

Been a while since I've come across a mediocre anime. Not really much to say in long paragraphs this time around, so I will just condense my thoughts into rating segments.
Story: 4/10
Everything just felt really generic. If there is one thing I can say about this anime, it's that it never really falls into any form of comedy once. Sure, you have Kuu's enthusiastic friend Kozue, but after Kuu is thrown into the life of Kyoushiro, she turns into a minor character immediately. So the story is mainly just serious half-assed action fights with light drama among it all. The very serious moments did not really deliver enough passion to feel that way and I'm confident it would be the same experience in either language. I have seen lots of anime, but never one where I was dowsing off well watchin…

Dear prince I hope this finds you well. Man that's annoying. What? O yeah, the review.
Story- 4
I found the story to be pretty bland and unexciting. The main character keeps writing to some prince guy while people fight with mecha robots.
Art- 7
This was about only the good part about this series. Except the opening had a few too many bright colors and I felt I was...lets not go there.
Sound- 5
This did not really stand out to me. The opening was kind of nice, but the rest I pretty much ignored. Character- 6
The characters is where I am split on this series. The main guy and girl (especially the girl) I found to be uninteresting.
Enjoyment- 4
The main place this series lost points was here. I found myself having to struggle to watch the next episode, and at one time I had it on hold fo…

I will admit the first time I watched Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora I actually dropped it a while after the first episode. The story did not draw me in. It came across as a typical romance to me, the whole concept of 'Absolute angels' just looked an excuse to throw some mechs in there, and DEAR GOD did the character of Kuu piss me off in the first episode. I picked it up again sometime later to pass the time and I'm pretty glad I did. Despite the boring high school romance vibe the show gave me after the first episode, the show actually did go off in a different direction than I expected and better one at that. The show is not all that great though and has a good number of flaws.
STORY: 7
If you're familiar with Kaisaku works then I'm pretty sure you'd be able to figure out how the story goes.…

Shattered Angels is, for some reason, an attempt from the makers of Shrine Maiden's Destiny to appeal to the audience who still wanted straight couples in the spotlight (as oppose to gay couples). Herein this anime; the lesbianism isn't so blatant and harsh that the men get stepped on for pure lulz.
However, it DOES get heavy-handed on the romance angle. And even though it's got 4 or 5 women battling it out using robots they pulled out of their unmentionables, you'll start losing your teeth from the over-dramatics and lovey-dovey-ness.
Well atleast the guys didn't go "Oh I'm Gay Now" in the end.

Overall it was a pretty good anime, I thought the character designs were absolutely beautiful. It was a bit too fairy tale like for my tastes and I thought Kuu constantly writing to her prince for narration was pretty annoying at times. It would've been better at the beginning of each episode only as a review instead of constantly throughout. There was also a bit too much fan service from my point of view, but then most anime has far too much fan service. Overall I liked the characters but I thought Kuu was just really stereotypical and too child like for her age. I also thought in the end Setsuna got the short end of the stick and I felt really bad for her. I really liked the art and thought all of the characters were beautiful. I would recommend this anime to maybe a little bit of the yo…

"Let's go, Together" is the most repeated line here other than "Ayanokoji-san"
I watch this for romance so yes, this anime does satisfy me. I do not recommend watching this if you really hate yuri/shoujo-ai since there are some scenes with it.
Story - Some parts are expected and some are not so you may be bored watching in some parts but glued to the screen in others. For me, i don't mind if it's cliched as long as it's entertaining so i'll give the story line an 8 at most.
Characters - I guess all the characters are likable although kind of annoying (some of them). The relationship progress is quite good. There are many characters and i kind of have a bad memory so i'll sometimes forget who is who and have to refer to the character list in myanimelist -which is troublesome- but that wou…

Kyoshiro was surprisingly good if you are judging based just on the first episode. Yes, it is a mash-up of almost every genre known to man, as well as being a gigantic crossover with all of Kaishaku's other works, yet it's somehow very watchable. Honestly, I only came to this anime because of Kannazuki no Miko, but I discovered at the end that it was something I really liked. I would even go as far as to call myself a fan (not fangirl, just fan).
Story: 6
Like Kannazuki, Kyoshiro was a somewhat messy plot. It followed much of the same pattern as KnM too. A totally discombobulated first episode, a midseries twist, and a heartbreaking, touching ending. Plot is not this anime's strong point, but it didn't fail completely only because of the ending which totally suckered me.
Art: 8

A truly gag-worthy anime.
I must admit the series looks adorable from a stand-offish point of view but the storyline left something to be desired. The narration of Shiratori Kuu is very reminiscent of an airhead teen, 'cause frankly... She is one.
But of COURSE she has to be something special. *rolls eyes*
Aside from my obvious disdain for the main character. There were a few decent characters within the series. Setsuna being my favorite, she had more depth to her. If you choose to watch this anime do it to see Setsuna at the very least. Everything else? Not worth your time.

I was drawn to this anime because of Kannazuki, to be completely honest. It concluded very well, but I wanted to see more. I guess I got it, because Kaon (Chikane) is as awesome as ever, if not better. Other than that, it was kind of hard to sit through until the very end.
Kyoshiro is basically a blend of all of Kaishaku’s previous works. It doesn’t work to its full potential unless you’re familiar enough with all of them to appreciate the references, since it doesn’t have much plot of its own. Well, it does, and it does make coherent sense, but it’s nothing special. It starts out really confusing, but should be acknowledged for at least answering all the questions and making sense in the end. Very interesting twists midway too. :) Ending was great, and thoug…

-INTRODUCTION-
When I first came across Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora and looked at a couple of screenshots, I decided for myself that I would be staying away from this anime. However, my love for seiyuu as well as my curiousity got the better of me, and I watched it after all. It was not as bad as I expected, and in fact, it was quite good. Not my cup of tea in general, but it did have some great points.
-STORY- 7/10
At first, I was pretty excited about the story. As cliche as it sounds, fairytale-like plot just doesn't get old for some people. However, as time went by, it became more and more complex, and I wasn't sure whether it was changing for the better. The problem here is not with the story itself. It was a well thought out plot, with romance and family conflicts involved. But the el…

my last review wasn't so hot but im definatley gonna try harder. also i didnt write any spoilers so for those of you who may be afraid to read all this its fine, i just rant a lot. ;)
STORY: 9 the story started out really weird and a lot of people are really skeptical about it or just give up on it. there was only 12 episode and it wasnt horrible so i continued. i didnt know what was going on, but i learned and slowly after each episode began to love the anime more, i couldnt get enough of it! the whole anime seemed so magical! im glad i just stuck with it.
ART: 8 the art was good like most animes are. i remember that after watching it though that there were always tons of pictures form the episode i wanted to draw after watching it. so i guess you could say the art was inspiring.
SOUND: 8…
