"Frieren: Journey Beyond the End" is a piece of art. Never have I ever felt so at ease watching a show. Never have I ever felt a piece of fiction so human. This anime, is phenomenal, is ethereal.

Frieren is a story about a long-lived elf, who regrets to have not tried to form emotional connections with humans. So, she now tries to. The premise of the show has a slight resemblance to Violet Evergarden's, and something about these stories really just takes you along with their journeys.

What makes Frieren such an exceptional experience is how it blends a well-crafted journey with greatly done animation and ... phenomenal music. The OSTs are so good and natural that they take you into the scene itself. Nothing feels exaggerated. You would mostly find the party members walking around beautiful landscapes and towns, like a normal fantasy journey. Yet it feels very mature, very calming. Even thinking back on it now, after finishing, makes my heart feel warm.

Both the openings are good; but the ending... I think it's become one of my all-time favs in anime music. The song captured the emotions conveyed through the anime and the emotions felt by the viewers in beautifully composed lyrics and melody. Listening to it at the end of each episode was a reward in itself. Thanks for keeping the ending for the second half as well, very appreciable decision by the staff.

A great story contains great characters and this anime really acts on it. The characters are very well written and are easy to get attached to. The characters feel bare. There is no concept of act in the setting, so you simply get to see who they actually are. They really make you appreciate them. I often found myself wanting to see the characters smile. It's been a few days since I've finished the show but the characters still haven't left my mind.

Frieren is truly a piece of art, a masterpiece at that. It felt like a breadth of fresh air, an experience of its kind. The staff at Madhouse and the authors of the manga really deserve their work to be at the No. 1 spot. Their efforts to make this an experience for the viewers, and simply love for their work, is apparent and appreciated. Humans never cease to amaze me with what they end up creating or accomplishing.

I think this anime is the type that stays in my heart forever, giving me flashbacks every now and then. This review wasn't enough to convey my feelings and appreciation for the show. I feel the urge to rewatch it already. I hope the reader will give this anime a try if he hasn't yet.

Thank you, Frieren!

Simply putting, Shiguang Dailiren or Link Click is a show about two guys who work together to go back in time and do according to the requests of the client. The premise is simple but the plot isn't so much. This anime enters the matter directly within 5 minutes of start, without explanation about what is happening at all. It spares you of the technical understanding of the characters and their abilities right away and instead the viewers learn what it's all about by their own most of the time.

Now, Its been a while since i REALLY got so into a show's plot. No, really ... Link Click has one of the most ENGAGING plot lines I have hit on. Apart from the plot, the music of this show is PHENOMENAL and is one of the eminent aspects of the show. The third thing I can't stop loving is the art style. The backgrounds are slightly crayony while the characters get the details. It still fits the vibe of the show very well. This show is so well made that it's honestly hard to properly put in words for me personally.

Another great aspect of the show is the opening and ending Themes. The OP And Ed are GREAT and fit the vibe and timings perfectly. You just can't stop loving and appreciating them.

Now, I really want to talk about the plot more because it just felt so impactful. Most episodes end in bold cliffhangers. The plot is interlinked end to end and season 1 finishes what it started in the beginning. One of the plot lines dwells upon concepts like past regrets and mistakes. The show really makes you enter the scenes yourself. Yet, the plot also offers thrilling and suspense filled moments. For me personally, I think this show will be very memorable to me because of some scenes.

Overall if you haven't watched it, I HIGHLY recommend you to do so if you want a good emotional thrill ride. This show was one of the first Chinese animation shows that i got to get into and honestly it turned out to be one of the best shows I've watched to date.
Thanks for reading :)

"Was Maki-san this hot in the anime series?"

Coming from someone who has read the manga before, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 exceeded far beyond my expectations. The movie was able to deliver mindfuck level thrill. The animation, the characters, the fights, TF that was way too good. Appreciating Gege Akutami sensei and Mappa for providing us with JJK.

The plot was excellent. It is truly impressive how well they directed the storyline. The pacing felt perfect and it wasn't boring at any point in the movie. 8/10

The music and sound effects were cool, but what really impressive was the voice acting. IDK man VAs never fail to impress. ... 8/10

Characters! One of the main factors that make JJK so fun the watch is the characters. Like, how can anyone hate Gojo, or any character from the series, major or minor. But Maki-san, was she so hot in the anime season? What a girl she is! 10/10 (judge me idc)

Animation - Some people say Mappa is overrated. Is it though? The consistency of quality in their shows is crazy considering how many projects they work on at once. JJK 0 is another one of their works that had everything you would want from a good action anime. The fight scenes? chef's kiss 9/10

Enjoyment was 10/10

Overall highly recommended for anyone who has watched the anime series.

Overall 9/10 for me. A great watch indeed.

Words bubble up like Soda Pop is a Netflix anime movie that is more like a casual romance watch. The anime has a pleasant vibe to it with attractive animation, art style, and characters.

The anime is about an introverted high school boy named Cherry who loves writing Haikus (small Japanese poems) and is working a job as a temporary substitute for his mother who has back pains. The story starts with Cherry meeting an idol streamer 'SMILE' who dislikes her buck teeth and later joins Cherry's job after getting requested by his co-workers. The story goes on as they make progress with each other.

The plot ... is well-driven. I didn't feel any signs of emptiness from it. 7/10

The animation and art style can make anyone's day good, It is that pleasing! 8/10

The music and Soundtrack were just okay. It had one prominent song at the end which was good. 6/10

The characters were attractive. Both the boy and the girl had an interesting vibe to them. The girl was super cute, and I appreciate cuteness in general, 9/10

So Overall, I'd say go give it a watch. It's a casual romance movie with a refreshing touch to it.

Overall, 7/10 for me

Ame wo Tsugeru Hyouryuu Danchi Review.

So the movie came out yesterday, I watched it yesterday and reviewing it today. I'll make it short.

The story is about two main characters - Kosuke and Natsume, who were good childhood friends and lived together with Kosuke's grandpa Yasuji who has now passed away. After some incidents, Kosuke and Natsume, accompanied by their friends Reina, Taishi, Juri, and Yuzuru, find themselves in their old apartment, which mysteriously teleports to the middle of the ocean with no nearby land in sight. The story progresses as they try to survive and get back home.

The plot is good overall. It is ... watchable, and it didn't feel boring at any point. 7/10

The animation was just what you would expect from a high-quality anime movie. Thanks to studio Colorido for such satisfying sceneries and art style. 8/10

The music and soundtrack were just okay. Nothing too attractive audio-wise. 6/10

The characters were good and were probably the most important aspect of the movie which made it feel alive. They were kinda annoying at first, but their development is great. 8/10

So Overall, I recommend giving it a watch. It's kinda refreshing.

Overall, 7.5/10 for me.
