Eiken

Eiken (2003) is a fanservice obscene comedy anime. Densuke Mifune, the main character, enrolls to the exclusive Zashono academy. He was accused to be a lecher and suddenly gets forced to join the Eiken Club. In order to redeem himself in front of the school and to get money to buy a birthday present to his crush Chiharu Shinonome, he chose to participate in a strange sport contest.

    It was most certainly the worst comedy anime I've ever seen. In my opinion, it's really a waste of time. No premise, no storytelling, nothing. Only a kid around cute girls with giant boobies.

Kara no Kyoukai

Kara no Kyoukai (The Garden of Sinners, 2007) is a series of 7 action/drama movies which impressed me from the first minutes. The anime was so intriguing and well interpreted that I could not avoid watching all movies in a row. Seven different directors succeed in bringing up a consistent tone to the series. The atmosphere is full of suspense and mystery, and artwork is fantastic. Each drop of rain, expression, shadow and glance seem to contribute to storytelling. Music does not stay behind, thanks to the brilliant work of Kajiura Yuki (the best work among those I've listened in 2009). The action scenes are breathtaking, and characters are enigmatic and profound. The story itself is full of philosophy, symbolism and puzzles, demanding a lot from the audience.

    Ryogi Shiki, the main character, possesses the ability to see the death of all things (called Mystic Eyes of Death Perception). She interacts with Aozaki Touko (mage) and Mikiya Kokutou (friend/love) to solve mysterious cases.
