Anime Analyze: Clannad (Anime)

So the next anime that I watched was definitely a different one from the last few.  It is definitely not as "actiony" as some that I have seen and the main reason that I watched it is that Hikachan told me to.  He said it was good and I do have to agree with him in some respects.  And while this genre of Anime is not one that I usually watch, I will say that I enjoyed watching it.  This is Clannad, a slice of life anime that was released originally as a visual novel for the PC in 2004 and was adapted into an anime and released in 2007-2008 by Kyoto Animation.  It has 23 episodes, 22 of which are normal while the last one is a special OVA based around an alternate timeline where two different main characters are dating instead of how it normally worked.  The series has a sequel series called Clannad After Story which is considered one of the greatest anime series of all time, but we will get to that one later.  The opening for the series is "Megumeru ~cuckool mix 2007~" by Eufonius.  So, here is my review of the series Clannad. 

Anime Analyze: Chaos;HEad (Anime)

So, the next anime that I will take a look at is the series known as Chaos;HEad.  This anime came to be through a series of events.  First a graphic novel was made for the PC (don't ask me why).  Then a video game was made for the PC and ports were later made for the Xbox 360 and PSP and PS3, iOS, etc.  From the plot of the game, they came out with a manga adaptation which later was made into the anime that we see here.  Yeah, really crazy trip for a story to go.  Anyway, the anime adaptation was made by Madhouse and was aired on TV in 2008.  The opening to the series is "Find the Blue" by Kanako Ito, and the ending for the series was "Desire Blue Sky" by the same artist. So, here is my review of the anime series, Chaos;HEad.  

Anime Analyze: K-On! I

Happy Labor Day to everyone, I hope that you all had a nice long weekend, I personally did.  So, the next anime that I will be doing is the first season of the show called K-On!.  Made in 2009 this first season is 13 episodes long, based off of the manga started in 2007.  It was produced by Kyoto Animation, who is known for making shows such as Clannad and Lucky Star, and doing other animation for shows like Inyuasha and Full Metal Panic!.  The opening is "Cagayake! GIRLS" by Aki Toyosaki with Yoko Hikasa, Satomi Satou, and Minako Kotobuki, and the ending is "Don't say "lazy"" by the same people who made the opening.  So, lets get together with Sakuragaoka Girl's High School's light music club and see what they have to show. Side note as well, this is the show that brought about the video game that was reviewed by Hikachan earlier in the summer.
