In fact, A LOT are still going.

I'll review on:
Story
Characters
Music
And a few extras like:
Who would enjoy it more
Pros/Cons
Alright first off Go Sick.
Go Sick.
At first, I thought it was a detective/mystery anime.
but then at the end it all falls to romance.
Story:
A transfer student named Kujou Kazuya goes into the country of Sabure(or Sauville)and Attend the Saint Marguerite Academy, where many of the students are into urban legends and fairy tales and such.
Classmates dubbed him as the Spring-Time Reaper, and was quite alone.
Until he goes into the HUGE tower stacked with books. and on the top floor, he meets a girl names Victorique,a short, blonde-haired, smart and crafty girl, good at solving mysteries.
Detective anime right? NOPE.
sure there are some parts that are mystery genre but in the end it doesnt make enough to be mystery.
Its more of a romance.
It shows a boy and girl falling in love after times of the girl being saved by the guy. When he leaves, she is only thinking about him.
So, its quite disappointing to me.
Characters:
To me, the two main characters are quite cliche for a romance. I've seen it too many times.
Victorique is a Tsundere.
Kujou DOESNT CARE and helps her no matter what.
It's like Kaichou wa Maid-sama... except that the dude in this story is almost a wimp.
You can tell he obviously failed at being strong during his flashbacks.
but then at the end,
Spoiler: Highlight to view
During the war, He becomes strong with THE POWER OF A RING FILLED WITH VICTORIQUE'S LOVE~~~ ....love makes you strong I guess.
Victorique's brother is kinda useless, because he goes to his to her to help him solve crimes. What he gives back in return is terrible. He
Spoiler: Highlight to view
Give her to her father, who treats her like a pawn, or a tool.
Victorique's mother watches her from a distance, along with Brian Roscoe.
Eventually their love pays off, because they
Spoiler: Highlight to view
BOTH die in the end. Her mom kills Victorique's father and Brian Roscoe(good self)helps her and dies there. While the other Brian Roscoe(evil side) Helps Victorique during her escape. He almost killed her though. He dies from injury.
The only character that I find interesting is Brian Roscoe.
He's got this split personality going on here. He helps Cordellia (Victorique's mother)out because he loves her, but hates Victorique, despite helping her. He's the most mysterious character in the show, I think.
Music:
Im talking about OPs and EDs here.
The OP was the only good song really. and the EDs to me were nothing special. In fact, I hated the second one. It just wasnt good.
Who Would enjoy it more?
More like anyone could enjoy it. To me it's got not winner here.
Girls Might like it for the romance though.
Pros:
Likeable characters
Interesting arcs
No Fan-service.
Finishes nicely
Cons:
Changes genres
Slow anime. It should of had a few less episodes.
Overrated. It wasnt THAT good.
Somewhat Cliche main characters.
It gets a 6/10 for me. To me this was an overhyped show and it is definitely overrated. People want more of it, but I dont really want anymore. it was too slow with a setting becoming too common now.
Alright Next, Deadman Wonderland.
Deadman Wonderland
Only for the people looking for a lot of blood, seriousness, and the psychological genre.
I advise for anyone who hates fighting, blood, killing, dying, amputation, psychopaths, prisons, and seriousness to STAY THE F AWAY FROM THIS ANIME.BUT if you are like me, you love this kinda stuff.
Story: Igarashi Ganta, a regular middle school student, is blamed by a huge massacre that happened in his class, because he was the only one that was alive afterwards. The real killer, nicknamed the "Red Man" didnt kill Ganta, but puts a red crystal in Ganta's chest. Blamed killing everyone in the classroom, he is sent to the Prison "Deadman Wonderland" and his life there and tries to maintain sanity.
This deals with the Psychological problems. I always like these kind of things, so thats a plus for me. Although in the end it really does leave a few questions behind, making it somewhat unfinished.
Characters: They all kinda vary, and its quite weird because they are living in a prison.
Ganta - 14 year old kid who cowers in fear at the sight of killing. He Protects people no matter what, especially to Shiro. Kinda typical.
Shiro - A seemingly happy girl oblivious to all dangers around her. We all know Ganta is a wimp, so she tries to protect him. She is VERY strong.
Spoiler: Highlight to view
She is the "Red Man", but its almost impossible for Ganta to recognize that.
Crow - A badass character. He's the cool "GAR" character in this show. He likes to kill.
Hummingbird - She's a Yandere. Enough said right? YOU should know what she's like.
Yoh - "Friend" of Ganta's. He was hired to watch Ganta. He's kinda sneaky. He also WANTED to be in prison in order to find his sister, Minatsuki.
Spoiler: Highlight to view
A.K.A Humming bird.
Owl - Leader of Scar chain, a resistance group within the prison. He seems like a kind leader, with no lust to kill. This is proved wrong when he finds his 'sanity' again and becomes a murderous killing machine, not caring who he hurts.
Genkaku - Leader of the Undertakers.(Undertakers make all deadman powers void.)He is a psychopath and eventually reveals To Owl his "true self", making him "sane" again.
Spoiler: Highlight to view
Genkaku and Owl pretty much kill each other in the end.
Characters are all over the place, making it hard to piece stuff together.
Music: OP is nice, and its not butchered English!
but the ED just doesnt seem right to the show. I dont really like how it sounds. The ED for the last episode though is kinda creepy.
Who would enjoy it more?
I would say DUDES. Blood and Gore everywhere. Killing and such. But if you are a girl like me who has the same taste or has a liking towards killing, you can like this show.
The warning I put on the top for this show does not lie. I guarantee.
Pros:
Interesting characters
Has very different style of "super powers"
insanity.
No romance.
Cons:
Leaves many questions towards characters.
Feels unfinished.
Because this show is a genre I like, it gets a 9\10. If this gets a second season, I want them to:
have more character development
answer left over questions
Explain the past and the "Red Storm"
For most people though its an 8\10. I can see why.
A finely rated show that only targets a certain audience in my view. It's kept very well in is genre grounds, and doesn't change halfway through. It's well enough to check out.
I hope I did Ok on this... these are my first reviews.
if there's anything I could add or improve on please tell me. I really like doing these reviews.
I'll be working on other reviews soon, if anyone reads this.
