I've been into anime since about 1998. In some ways I'm easy to please; I don't give out many "avoid" recommendations. As long as a story has a few redeeming features, I figure there's no reason to tell people to leave the room if it's playing. On the other hand, I don't usually buy things unless I want to watch them over and over, so I don't give many "buy" ratings either. This means you'll see lots of "rent" and "watch" recommendations from me. The main difference between a "rent" and a "watch" is whether I think people should go out of their way to track something down.
Character and setting are more important to me than plot. I don't think there really are any totally new plots. But there are new characters, and when you put new characters through a standard plot, the plot becomes new all over again. An interesting "world" is also a big plus for me.
Unless I mention otherwise in a review, I'll be talking about the subtitled versions. I enjoy both shounen and shoujo. I like most kinds of stories, but especially comedy and fantasy. I'm not a horror fan, but the friend who got me into anime is, so I wind up seeing more of it than I want sometimes!

Kinomoto Sakura is a bright, cheerful, cute little 4th grade girl. She lives with her 17-year old brother and her widowed father in a nice home in Japan. One day, she hears strange noises coming from the basement of her home. Cautiously investigating the source amongst the rows of book shelves, she discovers it is coming from a glowing old book called "The Clow". Unlocking the book, Sakura discovers that it is in fact a storage box for a deck of odd cards. While attempting to read the English word "Windy" on the front of the top card, she accidently activates the magic card, causing the entire deck to be scattered and disappear all over Japan. The only card that survives is the "Windy" card. |
