| I did not think the first season was honestly that impressive, very exposition heavy and the power system came in late, but I am still going to check out season 2. What about you guys? |
 |
| Honestly the first season had a slow start but once they started explaining about the Island and Tensen I liked it more and more. Enjoyed it regardless and looking forward to the second season, Although in a few episodes the art or animation was a bit lacklustre but the story stood out to me the most in this one. |
 |
| The quick adaptation all the fighters to fight against Tao is kind of weird, but I'll roll with it! |
| YES, cannot wait until second season, still want to see MC white haired bloke go full demon mode. |
| I might watch the 2nd season before picking up the manga. |
 |
| I'll watch it by all means! |
| If the animation improves I'll probably watch it, the story is decent but the power system is not that good but still better than other similar series |
 |
| Honest question: Why did they censor the nipples? |
| (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ YouTube @ The Pirate Collector ԅ( ͒ ͒ )ᕤ |
| yeah, s1 was underwhelming but will watch for sure because manga was solid. |
 |
| Who's not going to watch? |

| To be very honest, I quite liked the first season, even if Mappa killed the quality of the show quickly. I hope they do a better job on the second season, because I really wanna know more and see what happens in the future. |

Zevven said: so something productive is still watching anime but just a good one? lmao you are still "wasting" your free time. your comment simply pissed me off cuz with the way you worded it, what I understood is you shitting on people that consume media instead of doing something productive (which is work, gym, self improvement etc but you cand do that 24/7 since its draining).DorianPompa said: What ego are you talking about? I'm genuinely giving a good advice - consume the best stuff, watching literally everything means you have way too much free time and your life is probably a mess just like mine. youre on an anime rating site, lower your ego you aint better 💀 💀 💀 (idc if this is a bait, screw you regardless) (I cant say bad word mods will ban me again) Why am I not allowed to have an opinion on quality of stuff btw? Taste is subjective and I have no idea why you are reacting so aggressively to people having different opinions. but it seems your intention is different, and I agree, hells paradise is a mediocre anime(since it stopped before it got pretty good) and in general ppl should not watch all the shit just cuz its new. I wasnt aggressive for your opinion, since its obv subjective, again it just pissed me off the way you worded it |
Zevven said: I'm genuinely giving a good advice - consume the best stuff, watching literally everything means you have way too much free time and your life is probably a mess just like mine. But Hell's Paradise is the best title this year: a decent attempt (for an anime) at tackling philosophy and religion, gray'ish characters aside from Nurugai and Mei, quality art and animation, even The Island of Doctor Moreau setting is quite refreshing. |
DorianPompa said: I'm sorry, I have a bad habit of writing shit online when I feel down. Should have learnt my lessons already, I literally repeated the same year 6 times, total madness. I don't even think Jigokuraku is that bad, it's just underdeveloped at a lot of aspects.Zevven said: youre on an anime rating site, lower your ego you aint better 💀 💀 💀 (idc if this is a bait, screw you regardless) (I cant say bad word mods will ban me again)Mid anime, but still better than generic seasonal isekai conveyor.

Qgsr said: Decent potential, but gray'ish characters appear and die within 3 episodes; animation and style itself is simplistic, but compared to Katanagatari's use of creativity, for example, it seems lacking, at least for me; themes in itself are deep, but once again underdeveloped, probably to fit battle shounen genre, but still. Also, I think Vinland Saga S2 is most likely the best anime of the year so far, I'm judging solely by what I heard of it and its synopsis, haven't seen it myself yet.Zevven said: I'm genuinely giving a good advice - consume the best stuff, watching literally everything means you have way too much free time and your life is probably a mess just like mine.

Welp, that's the problem of so many series these days: a good setup and some fresh ideas, but then the authors don't quite know how to develop and fit them together (like the trainwreck of Wonder Egg Priority.) Jigokuraku's mangaka seems to be enchanted with Taoism, but I'd say he missed a huge opportunity to create parallels between Gabimaru and the assassin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angulimala from the Buddhist Pali Canon. Still, the part when Senta dies is so well-done and goes along the Buddhist practice of preparing and letting go at the moment of death. Characters progressing by accepting their weaknesses may be not super original, but Jigokuraku does it differently from other shonens. I think those are the little things that make this anime worth watching despite the pacing flaws. |
| I'm definitely in. |
 |
| I will definitely watch it cuz I can't wait to see it was my favorite fight in the manga and I hope anime will do it justice |

| I'm gonna watch it but with very low expectations. S1 was pretty mediocre in all fronts, after all. |
| I'll watch it but I'm not having high hopes for it. |

| I'm gonna watch it but not expect too much of it. Though I hope it'll still be more interesting than S1. S1 dragged a bit tbh. I found it hard to care about some characters and their backstories. The new guy from the cliffhanger looks cool though. Maybe he'll bring some fresh air into this Leon888 said: I agree on the disappointment part. I was really hyped for this because the trailer looked so cool and the story about criminals competing sounded super exciting. Yet in the end we got something just slightly above average imo.Qgsr said: best anime of this year ? the biggest disappointment ever would be this year's best anime?

| As I said in the other thread, anime, like the manga, was visually stunning with an interesting cast, but the story doesn't engage me enough to rate it very high. If the new series comes out fairly quickly then I'll watch it when it drops. However, if it takes another year for the second series then I think I'll just wait until the whole manga is adapted before watching. It's a fairly short series so I think another two 12 episode series might cover it. |
 |
| I feel like it could of been better in season 1. But we will see how it goes in season 2. |
| I'm going to check it out when it comes. I thought it was very slow and tacky at the start. But it got a little better, I only hope that the next season is better than the first season. |
Leon888 said: Yep, I'm serious, I liked this anime a lot. My #1 is Golden Kamuy, but the 4th season stopped abruptly this year, so I enjoyed Hell's Paradise meanwhile.Qgsr said: Is this comment a troll? no, because you can't be seriousBut Hell's Paradise is the best title this year: a decent attempt (for an anime) at tackling philosophy and religion, gray'ish characters aside from Nurugai and Mei, quality art and animation, even The Island of Doctor Moreau setting is quite refreshing. |
