Love and basta is an Italian restaurant in downtown Angers which is delicious and which I recommend

The location is ideal for visiting Dublin. The breakfast is good, the beds are comfortable, and the room was very clean when we arrived. The atmosphere is pleasant, the staff helpful and friendly, and the animation is enjoyable, with possible activities such as ping pong, billiards, and baby foot. If you're looking for a fun place to stay, I recommend it.

We took the bus from Dublin to Galway. The bus as a whole was nice, I think every student was comfortable on this bus. After spending a night in Dublin and after visiting this city, this hour bus ride was nice to rest in. Some played board games, others listened to music, some chatted with each other. Finally, some were sleeping. However, the weather was not favorable to look at the scenery but it was not very disturbing considering we were on the highway. In general, the citibus was fine overall.

During a school trip, we stayed twice at the Kinslay Hostel. I have hardly ever been in a hostel in my life but I rather liked it.

Located right next to Galway's central square, it allows you to get around the city on foot. A commercial gallery is even located about 50m away.

When we arrived and throughout our stay, the staff was very welcoming, responsive and smiling.

Kinslay hostel even has a self-service kitchen which allowed us to cook for 38. Fridges are also available.

I was in a bedroom of 6 the first night but the second night I was in a bedroom of 12 with only one shower which was quite restrictive. However, a second shower is located just next to the bedroom. The rooms were quite clean.

I truly recommend this hostel!

We only stayed one night in the Inishmore glamping site but that's more than enough to say that this place is beautiful. Everything is there, starting with the landscape which is simply magnificent. The sunset reflecting on the water gives an almost fairy-like atmosphere.

In general this is what we feel when we are there, the serenity of the place pushes us to let go and enjoy the moment without taking the head. As for the glamping and the bungalows, they are very well equipped, everything is there to spend a good stay. In spite of the smallness of the place, this will not prevent us from considering a long stay.

The glamping is ideally placed at 10 min walk from the city center.
To make it simple this place is a real nugget, and surprisingly the frequentation of the establishment is not enormous what makes that there is not much noise within the camp-site

In short it is a place that keeps all its promises, go there with your eyes closed!

I was in Ireland with my class for a school trip and we decided to take Aran island Ferry Tour to go to the Aran Island. Despite the seasickness of the end of the journey, this was a really great company. Besides, on the way to the island, the duration of the trip was perfect, we had time to go on the deck boat to watch the coast move away in front of us and to admire the beauty of Galway from an other point of vue. Some of us even saw dolphins! It was a peacefull trip with not many waves. For the return, we did a larger trip that was even better than the first one. We actually had the chance to reserve with the same company, a guided tour in order to take a closer look to the Cliffs of Moher. We were so close that we could see people at the top of it! This was one of my favorite journey in a ferry and I highly recommend this tour guide and this company to your trip in Aran Island.

I’m from France and it was during a school trip that I spent 2 nights at Kinlay Hostel.

Positive aspects : Well-located, the Kinlay Hostel has a lot to give. The communal parts of the hostel allow to meet the other residents around a pool game or inside the shared kitchen. The access to the corridor leading to the bedrooms is only accessible to the resident and surveil by a vigil, which allow us to sleep peacefully without noisy neighbor. The bedrooms themselves are well designed, the washbasin being separated of the bathroom, it’s useful when you are more than 6 in your room needing to use the water. The staff was lovable and comprehensive. Finally, the breakfast made by the staff was accessible during a long part of the morning and permit foreigners like us to discover some of the specialty of the country.

Negative aspects : The bedrooms were sadly, like the rest of the hostel, a bit passed, and our view wasn’t very great. I didn’t had my best nights because the mattress and the pillows were pretty hard.  Although the vigil let us sleep peacefully, he really doesn’t let you make any noise at night, which is difficult in a room of 12 people.

Even if it has some black spots, I recommend the Kinlay Hostel.

The generator hostel in Dublin is perfect for people wanting to make kind of party and have some fun. On the ground floor there is a bar and a place big enough to spend some good time and maybe to dance.

Moreover, there are a pool table, a table tennis table, and some other games possible to do. So, it’s the perfect place for the people searching good vibes and spend some good times.

Despite of that we’ve been unlucky because our room were dirty when we arrive, but when we say to them it was dirty, they clean all the room, and they were sorry. The room was nice a good place to sleep. Don’t forget your towel because it’s not free.

The hostel is perfectly located in Dublin, perfect to visit the city.

Furthermore, the breakfast is nice with a lot of choice, salty and sweet so everyone can find his pleasure.

I truly recommend you this place, it was one of my favorites during my Irish trip.

We were a table of 6, and we were well received in your establishment. The staff found us a table very quickly for our group.  The waiter took our order right away and we were served within minutes, and the price of the meal was very reasonable.
After the meal, we had the chance to stay in the PUB after 9pm because we were of age. THE BAR has a great selection of alcoholic beverages including Guinness. The bartender was friendly to us and discussed with us. Otherwise the rest of the customers were nice and we talked about everything and nothing...
Frankly I advise this place for the family or to have a drink between friend because in more this PUB is separated in two parts with a part Bar and the other Bar and Restaurant a little more quiet thus preferable for the families with small children.
Thank you for your welcome, I hope to come back soon and I would not hesitate to choose another place if I return to your island.

Thank you, Kindly.

I went to ireland with my classmates, and we stay 2 nights at the Kinslay. We were in a room of 6, and the room was big enough for all of us, we had some space to move.
The only negative point is the fact that the bathrooms and the shower were not separate.
The reception staff was really nice, and the reception was really really cool, we can do some pool, piano, etc...There is also a collective kitchen in which we all cooked together and that's cool.
The Hostel is in the center ans close to supermarkets, restaurants, etc...so it's easy to access and move without taking the bus or the car.
The breakfast was also good and we can eat together in the collective place.
So i highly recommended this hostel and i put 4/5 stars.

I have not often been in hostel room in my life but the Kinlay Hostel was very nice, the place was very cool and we were close to some store, markets, and restaurant, the staff were very nice and they explained very well, and there were a lot of activities to do in the hostel, the room was great, very clean, comfortable and there were not too many noise, but when we comeback for the second time in the hostel, I was in the bedroom of 12 and there was only 1 shower for 12 people, so it was complicated to take his shower, and the security guard stayed in front of our door all night, the breakfast was good but, there were some special foods, but there was a kitchen with microwaves and even fridges for our food, there is everything you need. I will recommend the Kinlay Hostel !

My stay was short but amazing! The view was incredible, we can watch the sunset and the sunrises on the ocean from us pods. Also, and you can go to the beach, it is two aces from the pods.
The reception was very satisfactory and pleasant.
The pods were clean, beautiful, and comfortable. There was a good equipment, the necessary to cook (fridge, kettle, cutlery, glasses, cups, plates, some tea bags...).
Positive point, the toilets and the shower are separate.
Negative point, we try the tea bags, but they weren’t good.

If you go to Aran’s Island, go, and spend a night there.

The generator is a great hostel, many activities to do, the staff were very nice and friendly, the place is amazing, especially in the night ! you are close to some store, restaurant… The room was great but not very clean but comfortable and spacious the view from the room is good, the shower is well-equipped, we had a lot of space to put our luggage. The hostel is a little bit noisy but it’s moderated. And the breakfast was delicious, we had a lot of choices. I recommend this hostel.

I spend just one night in the Generator but it was a very great night. The environment in the hostel is very pleasant.
There are parties programs for the week if you want to have fun in the evening.

The room is causy and the mattress is comfortable, pillows and duvets are provided however don't forgot a towel for shower because they're chargeable.
Under each bed, there is a trunk that allows you to store your belongings without cluttering up the common area. You can even put a padlock on it to prevent thefts.

When we are in the hostel, we don't know what weather it make outside because it's very dark and the lights are like the ones in a nightclub.
You should try the pole !!

The staff was very nice and attentive to the slightest problem.
I highly recommend this hostel, we have a good time there and we leave with a bracelet for memories.

The Glamping is one of the best experiences during the trip in Ireland. The fact that the Glamping is in front of the sea creates a relaxing atmosphere and allows you to disconnect from the city. In the evening we had the opportunity to walk on the beach and see a beautiful sunset. During my life I have been to several campsites, but I have never seen a campsite so well located at sea level.

In the little pods, all the rooms are quite small but enough for a small group. It was very clean, and we had everything we needed to have a good time in the pods. The fact of having a small terrace in front of the pods was very pleasant and gave the impression to be on vacation. With my friends we had a great time on the island and in the glamping.

I highly recommend this campground for those who want to disconnect from the city and the stress and every tourists.

It was one of the best experiences in my Ireland trip and in my life in general, it was truly a soothing place when you are here you can recharge your batteries. Inishmore in general is such a nice place, people are kind, and the landscapes are amazing. For a glamping, there is a nice atmosphere in this place like if there are no bad feelings you’re just in front of the sea.

In the little house there are everything you need, it’s very spacious, clean and the view is amazing with the sunset. The owners were very nice with us, my group and I lived an insane experience.

I really recommend you this place.

Good restaurant with a welcoming and friendly staff. The decoration of this restaurant is warm and adds well to the atmosphere. However, I would like just to raise few points which justify the fact that it was not a perfect experience, or which have retained my intention. In fact, we ordered a fish and chips for 20 euros (which was good overall), but which was not substantial. For this price, my expectations could be too high? I think yes. Concerning the price, it could be explained by the fact that we are on Island, but that remains a little bit expensive. Thus, despite these points, this experience remains great and don't prevent to eat a fish and chips on the beach.

I recently took a bus from Paris to Angers after a school trip in Ireland, and I must say that it was a really great experience. The bus was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of legroom and comfortable seats. The journey was smooth and relaxing, and the driver was very friendly and accommodating.

One of the things that I really enjoyed about the bus was the fact that we had access to power outlets to charge our phones and other devices. After a long day of traveling, it was great to be able to charge up and stay connected.

Another highlight of the trip was the driver's willingness to let us have a bit of fun. We were singing along to our favorite songs and having a mini karaoke party on the bus, and the driver was more than happy to let us enjoy ourselves. It was a really fun and memorable experience that made the journey even more enjoyable.

Overall, I would highly recommend this bus service to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable way to travel between Paris and Angers. The spacious and comfortable bus, friendly driver, and thoughtful amenities like power outlets made for a great experience.

Valentin : The Celt Pub: Great restaurant, the decoration plunges us in the universe of the restaurant. A kind of Irish tavern with a lot of charm. The food is excellent, I recommend you to taste the Irish burger which is very generous. The desserts are not too much! Be careful with the drinks, especially the non-alcoholic drinks which are a tourist attraction (2 euros for a glass of coke!). Apart from that, great atmosphere. I recommend it!

I haven't been to many hotels in my life, but of a subjective opinion, i really appreciated stay at the Kinley Hostel. To my mind, I have not found negatives things, the employees was very smiling, the proposed meals was very good, the atmosphere was cool. One point that really surprised me was the cleanliness of the rooms, the personal lights on each bed, the bathroom which was rather large.

To conclude, I highly recommend the Kinlay Hostel for all those who are looking for a comfortable place, moreover its location was very interesting, there is everything you need in the vicinity.

I recommend it to you !

My recent flight with Air France was excellent. From start to finish, I was impressed with the level of service provided by the airline. The staff were all incredibly friendly, welcoming, and reassuring, which made the flight experience very pleasant.

I also appreciated the small touches that Air France provided. For example, they had sandwiches available for passengers, with a vegetarian option that I particularly appreciated. It was a nice gesture that showed that Air France cares about the needs and preferences of all their passengers.

Overall, I would highly recommend Air France to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable airline. The staff's kindness and attentiveness, along with the thoughtful touches like the sandwich options, made for a great experience. I look forward to flying with Air France again in the future.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Kinlay Hostel in Galway, and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with how clean and well-maintained the hostel was. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful, always available to answer any questions I had.

The rooms themselves were spacious and spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds and plenty of storage space. I also appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as the individual reading lights and power outlets for each bed. But what really impressed me were the common areas. The shared kitchen was large and well-equipped, with plenty of room for everyone to cook and eat together. I loved the fridge system, which allowed guests to store their food and keep track of what was theirs. There were also plenty of games, musical instruments, and other fun activities to keep guests entertained.

All in all, I would highly recommend the Kinlay Hostel to anyone looking for a comfortable, affordable, and fun place to stay in Galway. The staff, the facilities, and the atmosphere all exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to come back again soon.

We went to An Pucan in Galway during our trip. We discovered the pub thanks to a Celtic group, which was playing while entering the bar. The atmosphere was everything, you really enter in a classic and typical pub. People, either client and employees are so kind and will discuss with you about so many themes. No to forgot! The beers are very good but please don’t forget to ask the price, except if you want to pay 9€ for a glass. The moment in the PUB was amazing and maybe one the memorable time during my trip.
I would highly recommend you go there if you went to discover how a real night in Galway is!

Ranma 1/2 is a widely recognized creation of Rumiko Takahashi, an imaginative author known for producing other notable works like Urusei Yatsura, Inuyasha, and Maison Ikkoku. I have watched most of her works, including Maison Ikkoku, which I am currently watching. While discussing and comparing these works in this review, I will avoid revealing any major spoilers. My review encompasses the entire anime series of Ranma 1/2, including the OVAs but excludes the movies due to their inferior quality compared to the main series.

Story : 4

The story of Ranma 1/2 is heavily influenced by Takahashi's signature style, which is both a positive and negative aspect of the series. The first season, which primarily consists of the first 40 episodes, is generally considered the most enjoyable by fans. During this season, the focus is on introducing the characters and establishing key story elements. Takahashi is known for her creative and entertaining ideas, and in Ranma 1/2, the central concept is the curse that causes Ranma to transform into a girl, while his father and other characters turn into animals when exposed to water. The overarching objective of the series is for Ranma to find a way to break this curse while also navigating his engagement to his father's friend's daughter and developing their relationship.

While the initial concept of Ranma 1/2 is promising, the series falls short of delivering on it. The only real addition to the original concept is the inclusion of similar curses that affect other characters like Shampoo, Moose, and Ryoga. The story becomes repetitive, with attempts to break the curse always resulting in failure. This lack of progression is the biggest issue with the series, and a recurring weakness in Takahashi's writing. Despite her imaginative ideas, she tends to neglect story and character progression. With the exception of the addition of minor characters, the episodes can be watched in any order after the introduction of Ukyo's character in episode 40. This flaw is also present in Takahashi's previous works like Urusei Yatsura, and even in the unique case of Inuyasha. It is puzzling why Takahashi opts for this style of writing, especially since she has demonstrated her ability to create stories with a coherent overarching plot, as seen in her best work, Maison Ikkoku, that has little to no filler.

Ranma 1/2 has a significant amount of filler, around 45%, which is on par with series like Naruto and Bleach. However, due to the episodic nature of the series, there are some good filler episodes mixed in with the bad ones. It can be difficult to distinguish between filler and canon episodes, but it is likely that the weaker or lackluster episodes are filler as they do not come from Takahashi herself. In terms of episode quality, the first half of the series (80 episodes) is remarkably consistent, with only a handful of weak or mediocre episodes. However, the second half of the series experiences a noticeable drop in quality. This is partly due to the length and repetitiveness of the show, but also due to the quality of the filler episodes themselves. While the first half has a solid mix of fun and great episodes, the second half consists mostly of "good" episodes, with a few gems and a lot of just okay or mediocre episodes. This is not necessarily a negative aspect, considering the series' length of 161 episodes and various OVAs. It was expected that the quality would dip at some point.

If the series had ended halfway through, it would have received a rating of 7 from me. Unfortunately, the show dragged on for too long and suffered from a decline in quality, causing its overall rating to decrease. Another major issue with the anime is its ending, or rather, the lack of one. The original 161-episode run concluded three years before the manga's end, leaving the anime without a proper conclusion. The three-episode OVA, "Ranma Super," serves as the final episodes, but they feel disconnected and unsatisfying as a conclusion to the series. It's unclear whether the studio and staff were aware that these episodes would be the end of the series, but regardless, the incomplete ending is disappointing and frustrating after investing so much time in the show. While incomplete endings are not uncommon in anime, the longer a series is, the more frustrating it can be to have no closure. It's a shame to watch over 150 episodes of Ranma and not receive a proper ending, unless you read the manga, which I won't be doing for a few years. I expect the manga's ending will be similar to the anime's but without the non-canon episodes, and hopefully, a satisfying conclusion.

Despite having major flaws in its story, Ranma's episodes overall are good, there will be some misses here and there, more in the later episodes, but overall I'd say the episodes themselves are typically quite good and fun.

Art: 7

Despite being a long-running series that aired weekly episodes for over three years, Ranma's animation quality remains impressive, particularly for a show from the early 90s. The colors are vibrant, the characters are consistently on model, the backgrounds are well-crafted, and the fight scenes are often above average, surpassing the quality of many fights in other shonen anime such as Dragon Ball Z. Moreover, Takahashi's character designs are used in the show, and many viewers, including myself, appreciate her designs. While not groundbreaking, Ranma is a visually appealing show with consistently good animation.

Sound : 5

The opening song for the first season of Ranma is really good and arguably the best piece of music in the entire series. Nonetheless, this is not to say that the other openings and endings aren't noteworthy; in fact, many of them are quite enjoyable. However, one potential issue with the show's music is that, due to its length, certain tracks are reused frequently in particular scenes, which can feel repetitive. Additionally, while the voice acting is generally strong, the limited number of voice actors in comparison to the vast number of characters in the show reveals certain budgetary constraints.

Characters: 7

Ranma's greatest asset lies in its cast of charming characters. Ranma himself is an excellent protagonist, while Akane stands out as one of the better female leads from the older era of anime. The remaining characters are, for the most part, quite enjoyable, with Shampoo and Ukyo standing out as particularly strong. Ryoga and Moose are also quite likable for a good portion of the series. The only character who overstays his welcome is Happosai, who starts off enjoyable but quickly becomes grating and never seems to face any consequences for his actions. Although he is not terrible, Happosai is definitely the least likable character in the show. Thankfully, nearly everyone else is a joy to watch. However, one issue with the cast is linked to the main story's problem: lack of progression. Characters receive minimal to no development in Ranma, with some episodes suggesting that Ranma and Akane are becoming closer, but this doesn't appear to have any impact on later episodes. Despite clearly having feelings for her, Ranma and Akane's relationship remains stagnant throughout the show, making it feel like a lot of filler.

Enjoyment: 6 (from 7 at the beginning to 5 on the later episodes)

As previously mentioned, the initial half of Ranma was quite steady. However, the show starts to decline shortly afterward, making it difficult for me to fully embrace it. Although I can appreciate what Ranma is and isn't, the abundance of filler content, lack of character growth, and almost absent story development make it difficult for me to rate the show any higher than a 6. Nonetheless, there are still a large number of enjoyable episodes, and I find the show to be generally entertaining. If only the show weren't so protracted and sometimes tiresome, and if the filler content could be reduced.

Overall: 6/10

Despite its flaws, Ranma 1/2 can still be an enjoyable series to watch due to its likable characters and humor. However, it's hard to overlook its lack of story progression, character development, and a proper ending. While Ranma 1/2 may not be one of Takahashi's strongest works, it can still be appreciated for what it is. Currently, I would rank it as her second-best work, with only a slight edge over Inuyasha. Takahashi's true masterpiece is arguably Maison Ikkoku, while Urusei Yatsura also deserves recognition.

The main question that I should answer is of course, should you watch Ranma?
Determining whether or not to watch Ranma 1/2 is not a straightforward answer as it ultimately depends on your personal enjoyment of anime, available time, and interest in the series. Due to its lengthy runtime and lack of strong story and character development, it can be difficult to recommend to everyone. However, if you're looking for a fun and entertaining series, it's worth giving the first 50-60 episodes a chance to see if it's your cup of tea. If you enjoy it, then continue watching, but if not, it's okay to move on. Keep in mind that if you're searching for a show with a well-developed story and characters, Maison Ikkoku might be a better option.
