Own opinion:

So my first recommendation is a little bit old anime. But don't worry everyone, old anime are good too! Actually i love old school anime. I'm from that generation...Okay, my opinion for this anime is great. Since this show wasn't how i expected it would be. I was surprised to see that its actually a good show. With all the black wings and stuff. I also love the love triangle between the characters and how it ended up with a surprising turn of events. This anime is good for you if you love, love stories involving a crime.

Rank: 4 over 5 stars

Hyouka

Genre: Mystery, Comedy, Slight romance

Episodes: 22 episodes, 1 OVA

Manga: 7 volumes, status ongoing

Summary:

At the request of his older sister, student Hōtarō Oreki joins Kamiyama High School's Classic Literature Club to stop it from being abolished, joined by fellow members Eru Chitanda, Satoshi Fukube and Mayaka Ibara. The story is set in Kamiyama City, a fictional city in Gifu Prefecture that the author based on his real hometown of Takayama, also in Gifu. The fictional Kamiyama High School is based upon the real life Hida High School.

Own opinion:

 Hyouka is much more in the mystery and every day life of the characters. This show is maybe one of the greatest show Kyoto Animation made. This anime really left me hanging with the romance part. Since KYOANI has this thing that teased the watchers when their show includes romance. SInce its KYOANI you better prepare for cliffhangers in the ending. They don't like to have conclucions for the romance part so it was really a cliffhanger. But like i told you this show is great if you love shows that are like detectives.

Rank: 5 over 5 stars

The story revolves around a first-year middle school student, Teiichi Niiya who had just enrolled at Seikyou Private Academy.

Teiichi then decides to investigate her death by looking through the school's seven mysteries revolving around her. Throughout the story, Teiichi and Yuko discover the truth about these ghost stories and help those who are troubled.

Own opinion:

At first i was really scared in the manga but actually its not scary but romantic and funny. I really love the manga and i'm sad because it already ended. If you love mysterious love story then this is the right show for you. It includes ghost but don't worry its not scary. Ah! And also it has some ecchi moments too by the way but not too overdone. While for the anime, yep its good and it won't waste your time. Its very mysterious and exciting too. So i know you would like it.

Own opinion:

 Sankarea~!! I'm not a fan of the anime but some people are.  This anime is very funny, specially when the two main characters are together. But I'll be honest here. This anime wasn't for me. But my sister really loved it. The reason why i didn't like it that much because i got bored in the middle of it. I don't know why but for me it was boring. So I decided to read the manga. The manga and anime wasn't that different but I enjoyed the manga more. :) Don't worry this anime is good its just not for me, that's all.

Rank: 4 over 5 stars
