The Inspectors are the people who stop the Enforcers if they are doing something wrong, similar to cops.

Opinion: This anime is very unique and intriguing as the story keeps getting better and better. The show was top 15 in the most popular anime's list in 2014 and they received great ratings for it as well.

 Synopsis:
  The protagonist Sena Kobayakawa was an introvert who was bullied all the way up until high school. While doing chores and exercises for the benefit of his bullies in a rapid succession, he intervertedly propelled his athletic ability to new highs. He was forced to join his school's football team and played under the pseudonym, Eyeshield 21, after a series of problems unfold and the captain threatens him. His apprehension gradually fades away, and Sena feels new life by playing football. He gradually gets more experience, practicing on and off the field with unique enemies and rivals facing him. Very Americanized film.

Opinion:
 Eyeshield 21 is one of my all time favorite animes to watch. With fast paced action combined with comedy, Eyeshield 21 embodies the idea of a great sports anime with some comic relief to make things a tad bit unpredictable. With over 140 episodes, Eyeshield 21 is great for binge watchers and those who want a prolonged plot to bring out the talents of the characters. I watched it before I got into anime, and even to this day I feel an emotional attachment to the anime.

Opinion: If you're a fan of cooking and anime, then you're in luck. Shokugeki no Soma combines both elements and fused them together to make a great binge watching anime. The anime follows the protagonist Soma Yukihira who enters an illustrious, elite culinary school, where only 10% of the students graduate. His father proved to be one of the very best, and Soma wants to prove he has what it takes.

Full Metal Alchemist

Genres: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Magic, Military, Shounen

Seasons/Episodes: 2 seasons and 51 total episodes


Synopsis: After attempting to resurrect their dead mother, the Elric brothers, Edward and Alphonse both lose their body parts in the resurrection. Now, Edward must restore his brother's body who's soul has been transferred to a suit of metal. After becoming a alchemist, he begins to pursue the philosopher stone, a stone that has incredible powers and defies the law of equivalent exchange.

Opinion: I think this might be my favorite anime because it shows how there are certain boundaries that even people who are considered gods can't even do. In the show alchemists are considered gods because of what they can do but even they can't transmute human life. The ending is a bit iffy because it ends with a sort unsatisfying ending but if you watch the movie "Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa" which is the after story of Full Metal Alchemist

Gintama

Genre: Action, Comedy, Science Fiction

Synopsis: The story is set in the late Edo period. Humanity is attacked by aliens called "Amanto" (天人?, "Sky People"). The samurai of Japan join the battle against the aliens, but when the Shogun realizes the power of aliens, he betrays the samurai and surrenders to the aliens. The Shogun writes an unequal contract with aliens which allows the aliens to enter the country and places a ban on carrying swords in public. The swords of samurai are taken away so they can no longer resist the aliens. After that the Shogunate becomes a puppet government.
The plot is focused on an eccentric samurai, Gintoki Sakata (aka Odd Jobs Gin) who helps a teenager named Shinpachi Shimura save his sister Tae from a group of aliens who want to make her part of a brothel. Impressed with Gintoki, Shinpachi becomes his apprentice and works with him as a freelance odd-jobs man in order to pay the monthly rent on Gintoki's combination home and office, as well as to know more about him.
The two of them rescue a teenage alien girl named Kagura from a group of Yakuza who wanted to use her superhuman strength to kill people. Kagura joins Shinpachi and Gintoki to work as freelancers and the three become known as "Yorozuya" (万事屋?, "We do everything" or literally "The Anything Store").
While doing their job, they encounter the police force Shinsengumi several times, who normally ally with Odd Jobs Gin in their work since the jobs commonly involve dangerous criminals. They eventually meet some of Gintoki's former comrades from the fight against the Amanto's invasion, including the revolutionary Kotaro Katsura who maintains a friendly relationship with them despite his terrorist activities against the bakufu. On the other hand, Shinsuke Takasugi acts as a major antagonist throughout the series, as he wants to destroy the bakufu and sees his former comrades as enemies.
Although the series' story is commonly episodic, there are also a few story arcs which are developed through several chapters.[1] Across several story arcs Takasugi starts gaining allies including Kagura's brother, Kamui, and the elite unit Mimawarigumi to prepare for his large scale coup d'état.

Opinion: Ranging from funny, kickback moments to jaw clenching, eyes dilated action, Gintama is an anime that brings joy to the watcher and happiness to avid anime fans. With a manga spanning 583 chapters and an anime that more than 300 episodes, Gintama is also a joy for people who like to watch extended shows that draw out the potential of all the characters and the story line and to binge watch. Featuring characters such a sword wielding expert with a humorous personality (Gintoki Sakata), an apprentice (Shinpachi Shimura), and an alien (Kagura) who do odd end jobs to pay for their living, Gintama is to not be missed.

Opinion: I find this show very interesting. It starts off with a lot of action which is very intense. The story tends to get a little weird but it gets better as it progresses. There is a lot of action in this show which is why i like it a lot. The graphics are also very nice for an anime.

Opinion: This anime was intriguing because of the suspense that each episode has. Each episode had a cliff hanger that would make you want to watch the next episode immediately. I also enjoyed the plot of the story. The plot was well made because the story flowed smoothly. However, the only thing I would criticize this anime for is the ending. I feel that it was kind of rushed at the end but overall it was an entertaining anime to watch.

 Opinion
   In my opinion, One Punch Man is definitely up there with the best anime's i have ever seen. It s so intriguing to watch and every episode that goes by makes you want to watch the next one and it keeps bringing you back. The action is amazing as the fight scenes are very intense and the story line is very interesting. So far, only one season for One Punch Man has been released and it was awesome.

I enjoyed this anime because it addresses various problems that different children face and how it impacted their life negatively. It has a realism aspect to it that makes it interesting to watch. It shows how each student begins to break out of their own shell and learns how to move past the flaws that they have experienced before. The movie had outstanding music that related to each event that was occurring. It evokes the emotions of the viewers as they continue to watch the movie.
