human, he is half youmu and invulnerable to wounds because he can heal quickly.
One day, Akihito meets freshman Mirai Kuriyama when it seems she is about to
jump from the school rooftop. Mirai is isolated because of her ability to
manipulate blood, which is unique even among members of the spirit world.
Disturbing events begin to unfold after Akihito saves Mirai.
Dopes Says ~
Before I start this is my personal opinion of course, I don’t
think anyone will agree to it but for me its what I enjoyed. The story is like
a train ride, slow at first before it gradually runs its course and then stops.
So from what I can write about this its my humble opinion of it, the story
itself was adapted from a light novel and from I experienced not all light
novels get great adaptations so for me this is a good as it got.

What I enjoyed about this Anime was the interesting plot
of this show. There is something about this that caught my eyes; the story
itself was what got me interested. I liked that it was exploring many ideas
with this, and how few characters were present due to all that went around. I
liked the idea of demons and humans getting together. I liked that Akihito is
the main character who had a very vulnerable yet powerful side to him.
For me the characters were not overly dramatized but good
enough. I liked the connection between Akihito and his friends but they all
lacked character development for me. Because it was short it didn’t cover
everything we wanted to know, it was like a quick rush of explanation which
could have developed slowly with more drama. But that’s my opinion. Although I
do love Akihito and Mirai’s connection towards each other I thought it was what
made the show to be honest.
Mirai for a main character was a ball of worries but she
was still badass, I liked her quirky side and her stupid side. She hid a lot
but didn’t reveal too much but for the show it was too quick at the end which
was disappointing but what can you do.
The music has got to be my favourite; I enjoyed every
part of it! I don’t mind what people say about it but for me it gripped me in a
lot. I loved the opening and endings to it and it made it more bearable when
they crossed over the episodes at the end.
The art works amazing, what can you expect from Kyoto
animation, such fluidity and of course the scenary were breathtaking. The
colours although dark was exceptional I don’t think I will get tired of it if I
saw it again. I thought the action
scenes were the best they were very vast and really entertaining.
Dopes dislikes ~
There were a lot of inconsistent issues with the storyline
there was many unanswered questions and so forth. They weren’t developed enough
and I didn’t expect that it would consider the episodes and all. There is more
but you know every Anime has flaws! They could have gone more in depth with the
beyond the boundary side of the part!
Dopes Concludes ~
So overall, I really enjoyed this Anime for me it was
great entertainment. I won’t lie I did get heartfelt at some scenes with Mirai.
I felt her loneliness and I felt her determination and her secrecy I also loved
the scenes with her and Akihito. How they bonded and when they ended the
episode itself, I found that beautiful. The saddest scene for me was seeing her
go and Akihito not understanding, there is always a huge presence missing when
you been with someone so long and they suddenly go. So I know a lot of people won’t agree, but
for a visual novel turned Anime I practically liked it. Although a lot of
people will say “How unpleasant” the show itself was. For me it was gold, I
will be watching again. It didn’t leave me empty feeling like most good Animes do,
although a lot of good shows get bashing but you know it’s not up to my
expectations but it was worth watching I never regretted it!

Synopsis -
Kodaka Hasegawa has transferred to St. Chronica's Academy, a Catholic High School. Due to his blonde/brown hair combo (a hair color he received from his late mother) and scary voice, everyone is afraid to talk to him, much less befriend him, He meets a girl called Yozora talking to herself and manages to create a neighbors club with many adventures to follow as they create lasting memories.
So I finally watched it, I know I am so late but I have been swamped let me just quickly tell you the good and the bad and how I found this show in general!
Well Haganai is totally awesome a group full of misfits, I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. It is hard making friends but when watching this I found it so amusing to see why alot of people liked it. The characters are all humorous and very energetic, they are willing to do anything to make friends.

For a slice of life Anime both Haganai and Next, it was good to see how the story went and was portrayed. The points of mystery of of Kodaka's friend which is revealed leaves a good dent in the group itself. And how Kodaka in general is actually dense when it comes to the girls but later revealed that he may not be as stupid, he is actually caring towards the members and possibly doesnt want any conflicts between them at all.
Art style is great in the first season however second season its a bit weird but still good. I think it was toned down with coloring but who cares. The characters were amazing it was possibly what drew me to watch this show more it was so humorous and none were hate worthy but Maria was annoying to me at times, the sound was a simple song that was all about Haganai.
Haganai next, was similar but the ending left me a bit puzzled. I guess it came to a part where Kodaka was realizing what was going on in the group. And I don't want to give spoilers but it feels as though it will continue with a season 3 if so then there seems to be more depth in the story which we can find out if there was more.
Overall, both seasons were great one set of Anime where I actually enjoyed thoroughly and how it passed by when I watched it Kodaka was an amazing protagonist and people go about how Sena should end up with Kodaka but for me I think Kodoka shouldnt choose, they all seem to fit him (except Maria and sister) but i think the closest friendship I would love would be more Yozora and Kodaka but thats my opinion. I would totally recommend it and hopefully you guys realise why so give it a go and say how it was.

From the light novel series written by Minase Hazuki, comes a story of love, action, and comedy. Yachi Haruaki is a high school boy who is naturally resistant to curses. After his father sends him a mysterious black cube, Haruaki awakes to find a nude girl named Fear standing in his kitchen. She’s the human form of the cursed black cube – and an instrument of torture! Utilizing her special abilities, Fear fights alongside Haruaki to defeat other cursed instruments and their owners.
Where do I begin, i loved to say how impressed I was with this anime, visually and all. It was well interesting for me what sucked me in I remember was the title itself and the plotline. I was so glad I had watched it too, I had rewatched the series and thought oh why not again. I was really glad I watched it again I found that it's not what it seems by the images.
Take for instance Fear is not just a cute girl, she herself has a hidden depth along with other several characters. Her scenes are very sentimental and its what made the show good too. I really enjoyed the aspect of the childhood friend shes not just a normal girl either shes a badass too. So it starts of all comical before it becomes serious hence the 17 plus rating it makes it worthwhile to watch too.
The art is so basic simple looking for a visual novel, its classic so I really adore it. The music had two sets first time too and it was worth it I really liked the songs. And overall I think its a must watch we learn the metaphor for the word *fear* in the show so see if you can figure it out!
Ill leave with some songs
