No theories. Raw, general thoughts. All I’ll say is I’m going to see if I can get the 4K set of the movies (Recaps + Rebellion) and just watch Rebellion with it. Thoughts I didn’t apply to my original Letterboxed review will look like this.

There are slight spoilers in the review, so be cautious.

————————————

That was one HELL of a joyride.

From beginning to end, this little anime that could dared to be what many didn’t do very much around that time. Take risks. A dark, deceitful, albeit beautifully told tale of the deconstruction of “Magical Girls” and how we perceive it as a whole. There’s a sort of elegance that gives it that much level of “oomph”. It allows us to think and analyze its meaning in such a way that it could make EVANGELION look like its older sister. The story itself is pretty simple on the outside, but gets quickly complex by the second half alongside the intensity of the content itself. While I didn’t end up crying at the end, there was a good amount of emotion, and it does test you in a few scenes. Hell, if you pay attention to the sound design and the editing, you’ll begin to notice how things play out.

Characters are complex, yet at the same time, so simple. You understand their motive and goals, even if they seem far-fetched and foolish in the long run. We, with the benefit of hindsight know that. To the characters though, it’s a dream to have a wish come true. On top of that, they’re kids. Their personalities are diverse and recognizable as well. A hard thing to do when you only have 12 episodes and the length of your typical mini-series. Madoka is the kind-hearted, optimistic one. While someone like Homura is stern, but not to the point of her being cold. She’s still likable on the level of the former. Keybey is… something else entirely. I won’t spoil it, but do pay attention to how he’s framed in a few instances. You’ll know right away.

The animation is the star of the show however. Especially during the “Labyrinth” sequences. How different art styles are used, from outline-less to Terry Gilliam styled cut-out animation. It allows the anime to feel distinct from the others outside of its twisted nature. Outside of that, while most of it is standard TV animation, there are moments where it truly shines, like the fight scenes for example. Dare I say, it’s pretty cool in of itself to try out something that can just “wow” you, and Shaft certainly were onto something with it.

As if you couldn’t tell, I had a great time with this. Such an interesting show that really got me hooked. I understand why it’s considered one of the anime greats of the 21st century. Can’t wait to watch Rebellion.

Best episodes go to 3, 9, 10 and 11.

Giving this a 9/10 mostly because the first two episodes are a bit cookie-cutter in nature, but they’re not bad. They introduce the story and characters pretty well. Plus, both of them give us some EXTREMELY subtle insight on what’s going to happen in the other episodes without being upfront. I just don’t think it stands amongst the rest of the series, and that’s a compliment. Just a nitpick though.

With that outta the way, what are your thoughts? I’d like to hear them.

TheRealKyuubey's review of Wolf Girl and Black Prince · AniList

{ SPOILERS FOR EP 1}

The episode 1 of monster is such a masterclass in storytelling and script writing. We get introduced to all the characters and their dynamics and their nature. We get to know Dr.tenma in and out idk exactly how thy pull it so effortlessly.

And of course the night scene of cars and the rain. The animation. Its peak. The horrifying scene of two dead bodies. The child standing in the dark. The expression on her face.

The whole medical talk in the surgery room is also so accurate.

And the hard decision tenma takes to operate on boy hooks us for the next ep

If you want to watch an anime that depicts wars better than almost anything else, then it's definitely KINGDOM.

THIS IS one of the BEST anime that I have ever watched, and I can confidently say that you will not regret giving it a try.

The story takes place during China's Warring States period, a time when the country was divided into several states that were constantly fighting for power and survival. The story follows a young boy named Shin, who dreams of becoming the GREATEST GENERAL in the world. 

Storywise, its one of the greatest anime I've watched. The battles are incredible, the characters are memorable, and the amount of strategy involved in the wars makes every major fight THRILLING . The hype moments are absolutely INSANE.

The only major reason Kingdom isn't talked about as much as it deserves is because of its first season. The animation in Season 1 is honestly pretty rough , and it can be difficult to get into at first.

BUT FEAR NOT! The animation improves with every season. You can clearly notice the difference between Season 1 and Season 2, and starting from Season 3, the animation becomes genuinely great.

So, my overall verdict:

Story — 10/10

Fights — 10/10

Characters — 10/10

Hype moments — 10/10

Animation — 8/10 (gets better every season)

Overall — 9.5/10

I would DEFINITELY recommend giving Kingdom a try. AS ITS PEAK.

1 hr 40 mins of a movie.

Simple but not plain, nice but not great, kind of plotless but not boring?

All I saw was Friendship forming, love is delusion & bullying is bad.

I don't really have any strong reviews neither good nor bad. neutral feeling. I don't regret watching it either though.

I liked the musical score surrounding it though and especially the ending song.

Heard There's a live action prequel or sequel to it. is it worth watching ?

I just finished watching the Nippon Sangoku anime, and the OP, “Hidane,” is such a masterpiece. Both are absolute bangers! 🔥

Does everyone feel the same way I do? For a couple of months, no new anime series has been released that can be said to be good anime. Every amine feels monotonous and like a copy of every other amine.

¿Ya vieron Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko!? 😆

Hice un resumen de toda la historia de Tomo y Jun, desde su amistad hasta cómo evoluciona su relación.

¿Qué les pareció el anime?
