Death Note (Anime) add
Spoiler
Death Note was a show that always intrigued me because, for one, it’s arguably one of the most popular animes of all time, but it also reminded me of Breaking Bad which is of course one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Stories about people who lose themselves in the pursuit of power are just so interesting so I had to check this show out.

I’ve been watching a lot of early 2000s anime and a lot of those art styles tend to be on the uglier side but this show has genuinely some of (if not the best from my limited knowledge) the ...

Nana (Anime) add
“Our dreams were finally coming true but the ideas we pursue and the reality are always locked in a stalemate. They don’t get along. And nothing is ever you’d imagine it would be.”
This quote is a perfect representation of what Nana is and why I know for a fact this will go down as one of my favorite pieces of media especially in anime.

The thing about 10/10s is most of the time I don’t think they’re perfect on an objective standpoint but they have a certain “wow factor” to them that engrains them into my soul almost and such is the case with Nana. ...

I was constantly told that this show is a lot like Cowboy Bebop which is probably my favorite anime of all time as of right now so of course I had to check it out and…
It didn’t quite live up to what I hoped for.

At first I found the art style of this show to be kind of ugly especially in the first few episodes it reminded me a lot of this one show called The Nutshack, it wasn’t intolerably ugly but I definitely didn’t like it. With time, I don’t know if the budget increased or it just grew on me but eventually I ...

Every time I see this title I keep thinking of the “The Lakers need a center” audio from tik tok.

But bad jokes aside this has to be one of the most fun experiences I’ve had while watching an anime. After finishing the first arc of this show I knew this would be one hell of an experience.

Firstly, the art style for this show is gorgeous. I usually don’t comment on the art style and animation when it comes to series because I don’t really know enough about it to make specific comments. If it’s bad I’ll comment on it but as long as it’s good ...

After watching a lot of anime with large unraveling stories, fantastical worlds, and crazy powers, My Dress Up Darling was a nice breather from all of that.

To tell you the truth there isn’t much to write about this show just due to how simple it is. It has enough drama and character moments to carry it along but it’s not anything you haven’t seen before. It follows very similar tropes to almost any other romance story… but still, I can’t deny, I had a good time watching this from beginning to end and unfortunately I am a sucker for romance stories.

To an extent I think ...

Another show recommended by my friend, Donivin and I’m happy to say, like most all the other shows he’s recommended I’d say yet again, another peak show.

Firstly, I just wanna say, this show reminded me a lot of Cowboy Bebop. This may sound like a back-handed compliment but considering that’s arguably one of, if not my favorite anime, that’s one of the highest praises I can give it.

I sound like a broken record at this point but yet again, the world this anime has created is so immersive. This is more akin to Cowboy Bebop rather than Hell’s Paradise where it feels more real and ...

I started watching this show right after I finished Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood which I remember a friend of mine said was a bad idea since this show in comparison would be bad.

To an extent he was right because truthfully it wasn’t nearly as good but at the same time I didn’t expect to be and I don’t think it really intended to be. I think there’s a misconception that every piece of media needs to be some revolutionary, ground-breaking story in order to be any good but I don’t think that’s true. I think a piece of media can be just as good (a ...

Going into this series I didn’t really know what to except since this is the first anime I’ve watched on my own volition as opposed to a recommendation from a friend. Idk I just found the concept interesting.

These are my abridged initial thoughts after finishing the first season:

First things first, if I could praise the show for one specific thing above all else, I would praise it for its world. If anything, I could just sink into the world the studio had created. Like the themes of the show, it’s all about balance, it’s peaceful yet dreadful, beautiful yet horrifying. I was always intrigued by ...
