Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai
Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. Yes, that is the real title of the anime. No, I do not know what it means. But I do know what it's about. Menma died young in an accident and resulted in all kinds of trauma for her five close friends. Soon after her death, the five friends drifted apart, they grow up and have little to do with one another. However, when Menma's ghost appears before Jinta they slowly get pulled back together again. It's a very short anime (only 11 episodes), but it's incredibly bitter-sweet throughout.
The art is really cute and simple. The scenes from their childhood are the cutest because they're all so tiny!! They had cute chubby faces and glistening eyes! The teenagers are not so cute. Rather they do a good job of representing the ordinary youth. However Menma is the best! She has these spectacular blue eyes and everything else is white and grey. Also for some scenes they made her outline fainter to maker her look just like a ghost. It's really cool!!

Kuro Shitsuji (Black Butler)
It covers a whole range of genres making it hard to pinpoint specific pros and cons, but it still has a fairly distinguished plot. Although the opening scene is very strange and confusing, it does explain itself as the anime moves on. It's based in England, which makes a change because instead of referencing strange sounding Japanese culture and traditions, it clearly portrays England in the Victorian times. It is very accurate as well, and includes lots of tea and cakes and all the cakes are clearly named with a picture of them (of course).
Ciel Phantomhive, a young boy who found himself as head of his family after his house burnt down with his parents still inside. Now he's an Earl with two 'jobs': head of the Phantomhive toy company and 'guard dog' for Queen Victoria. However, he does not do this alone, he gets Sebastian -the 'Black Butler'- to do all the hard work. Sebastian is everything you could ever ask for in a butler. He cooks, he cleans, he prepares his masters schedule, and of course he fights like a ninja! No flaws appear in Sebastian' duties, he really is "one hell of a Butler". Or you can just call him Ciel's personal Demon.
