The final season of Shingeki no Kyojin plays with the usual themes of its narrative in a rather uninteresting manner, appealing to the viewer to sympathize with the position of each character, and continuously debating to itself whether to move forward, featuring the classical and yet engaging power of its violence. I also like to be honest, and my honest perspective is that Shingeki no Kyojin is an anime that lost its direction after several mistakes during the Season 3 Part 2 and Season 4, maybe in an act of overambition, or maybe because of plain fanservice. Nevertheless, can this season of Shingeki fix the
...
egregious direction of the last one? I would go with no, but the anime is still worth to watch to get some quick adrenaline pumps.
Shingeki is an anime that is acclaimed by its themes and tension, as I said before, but I see Shingeki as a work of hype, a show, a fantastic perspective about how beautiful the violence can really get, epicism, mystery, treason, war is life kind of thing. You get people getting destroyed, eaten, impaired, all of that in a matter of seconds, gracefully, shiny, it is like being in a rollercoaster, an amusement park, it is just pure entertainment. And that is because this season, and any other season, is nothing but an exploration about the reasonings of fighting, because the author loves fighting, because violence is extreme, ugly, fueled with adrenaline, striking, attractive, taboo. That extreme focus to such exploration makes the wide array of characters from Shingeki uninteresting to say the least, I can’t say that I know how it would be to take a coffee with Eren or Mikasa, the show shows their themes, the purpose, and their place, but they normally don’t feel human, with the exceptions of a counted number of characters like Gabi or Reiner (One can say that such is a feature since it develops their themes and they have no time to develop their characters in other aspects, but many anime do both through actual writing quality). And that is pattern on Shingeki no Kyojin, every character feels human during their backgrounds, because they don’t have a clear reason to fight, and after that they are just a cartoonish form of themselves. Now, I’m clearly deviating here, how does that apply to this season?
During the fourth season we got into two factible paths, both leading to genocide and mass killings. And while I don’t mind the idea of an anime portraying the idea of genocide, why is such that there is no other realistic option? Gabi said in the second episode “They were not devils, they were people”, saving the world from racism and doing a rather pointless remark, but if both sides are people, how can’t they find a common ground? How can two sides not be able to surpass their shortcomings? Is there anything wrong with that? We get that in reality, wars are somehow unnecessary, the current Ukraine-Russia affair is just Putin swinging his cock, there is nothing natural or of necessity there. Where is the root of this bias? To understand that we should take two problems. The first problem is a widely known pattern at this point, Isayama likes way too much his characters, and as such is the situation, this liking severely damages the narrative of the story, as anyone who have seen the finale knows. The second problem of this anime is that the human nature is biased into the thoughts of Hobbes, Homo homini lupus, appealing to totalitarianism as the only solution to this sort of conflicts, as presented in season three and continuously during the present seasons. That idea is controversial, and it leads to some ugly notions about the world, which are even against the own evolutionary advantages, and serves nothing to the society, as presented by Foucault. Such thoughts delve into a clear state, dialogue is beautiful, but violence is the way, and that works for this kind of fiction. The world is hence a dichotomy, even if good people are the ones that play as enemies and friends during that theatric act, the enemy is just an enemy by no ugliness but by pure circumstances, wouldn’t you try to preserve your life? If you mix both ideas and the exploration of fighting, then you get that since Eren should have some redeemable reason, then the idea of genocide from the perspective of Paradis should have a redeemable reason, and since the idea of genocide should have a redeemable reason, then the world should be painted in a thin veil of paranoid thoughts, a fantasy politicism that doesn’t serves realistically to our day by day, but a fantasy politicism that portrays itself as the way to understand the world, a somehow dangerous perspective. The series constantly talks about how we must look past the violence and leave it, so the next generations stop suffering from that, a discourse that is great in vacuum but just serves as a message to the public, and not as a statement that works inside of the world that have been built.
The problem with creating this pantomime is that everything that is supposedly serious easily evolves into a laugh track, one after the other, because the thoughts of a person are related to the politics of their environment, and the politics of Shingeki are risible. The speech from Armin, the thoughts of Gabi, the voices of Yelena, all that go south when the world itself is not complex at all, when all of it is obvious at hindsight, there is no deepness but echoes of paranoia. The worst part is that the solution to such problem was just giving this narrative more time to cook or make the characters more imperfect in terms of defending their own bases. That is frustrating because the story seemingly touches the in-between of a fanfic and a real story, the fans get what they want, the stakes are not useful when the story itself decides from the beginning who will survive and who will die, the possibilities are severely reduced, and the impact is artificial, you know that the reasonings behind killing any character is not a natural evolution, but a going for the impact decision. If I could go further with my read about my experience with Shingeki then I would go harsher, to say that sometimes I feel nausea while watching some expressions and apparent realism is downplaying my perspective, but I acknowledge that a read is a read, and that is beyond the review.
Now, going into this season. The pacing of the season is questionable, but that is a problem that have always been in Shingeki. The problem of the anime comes from the same reasons told before, it builds up hype with characters that are not that interesting, elongates speeches with words that are not as strong, and then releases it all in a full blown action scheme with a shock after shock, twist after twist. This is the saving grace of the anime. The problem is that the adaptation of MAPPA is not as dynamic as the one of WIT, which develops into fights that are way more rigid, titans that look out of a PS2 game, conversations that are visually boring, and shots that are unnecessary. Some scenes are nonetheless impactful and eye-grabbing, the sequence of the third episode was a whole ride, which denotes the fact that the production could have been better with a longer time, and that the amount of worth to be watched scenes will be counted by hand, sequences that will get a better treatment as a resource allocation scheme. The symbolism and dialogue of the season are also heavily overhanded, but I wouldn’t go to far with that, after all the purpose of the anime is not to make something that must be read with a full-blown analysis, but that can be easily digestible by the general public and impress the masses through technicalities.
In conclusion, if you happen to not like the past season, then the start of this season will have some redeeming qualities and some extremely dull parts too, if you liked the past season then you would like this because you love the series so it doesn't really matter. The problems of Shingeki are deeply rooted in fear and anachronic thoughts, so they won’t get fixed, the good thing is that the anime keeps is interesting appeal to edginess and violence through it, and one can and should enjoy that if you get this far into the plot.

Hakozume is an anime about a duo of cops that do cops things to let you know that cops are useful, and that would be it. It could sound like a gross simplification, but that is the whole argument. The anime shows a girl that wants to quit her position of a cop in a kouban because she feels disappointed at her job, forgetting the reasons to be a cop in the first place. Then, another cop appears, and shows her, through a completely dull and generic set of occurrences, that cops can save lives, families, the whales, the world, and the aliens. If I
...
were paranoid, I would think that the main girl is supposed to be the audience, an audience that have forgotten the importance of cops in modern society and thinks about them as beasts that rob money and applies violence into the populace. And while I live in a complete shithole, so the past definition fits the cops here, I suppose that in Japan it is not the case. So, ignoring the fact that this is an advertisement to get people into the police, is this anime worth to be watched?
I would go with no; this anime is just riddled with an utter lack of creativeness. The dialogues are beyond horrible, they add absolutely no energy, personality, or life to the series, it somehow just explains the line of thought that one can infer from the events that are being shown in screen, in the most agnostic and straight form. One could easily replace the dialogues with a chatbot powered by GPT-3, and that chatbot would give us more humanity to whatever was described here. The abhorrent dialogues just flat the interactions of the criminals and cops, they feel cartoony and preachy, was that the intention? The same lack of creativeness can be found in the diverse set of criminal events that happens through the series, I will do a game here, answer the next questions:
- An underage girl is having compensated dating, have a high body count, and have a new stepfather. Why is the girl like that?
- A grandmother is lonely and do criminal acts to get the attention that she doesn’t get from her family. Which is the solution?
- A person asks the number to a cop. Which is the punchline?
Maybe I’m a disturbed person that have read too much hentai and watched too many detective shows, but the way the anime presents any of the past premises makes the whole experience just a continuous eye-roll. It can’t catch the attention to anyone who have watched more than one cop show in their life, because it doesn’t add anything to the viewer, it is just a portrait of anything you should already know, without characters that add flavor. The problem is that there is no fun in having a set of events with a direct moral direction and a direct cause-consequence that can be easily inferred, the fun exists on the dilemmas, contradictions, argument fights, problems related with how the cop world functions. And that doesn’t exist in Hakozume, the problem of Hakozume is that the intention of the show is nothing but to pander and create a common ground where nothing can be debated, the characters are uncharismatic so you don’t feel alienated by their presence, the events are easy to grab so you don’t get a multidimensional interpretation, the jokes have the same wittiness as your uncle after drinking way too much in a dinner, it just doesn’t try to provoke anything but admiration.
While all those problems exist, there are some good aspects of this show. The colorful palette and crisp designs make you fall easily in a comfort zone, it is just an anime that is easily digestible by the eyes. There are also some interesting intersections between the role of the woman in a male dominated field and their perspective, and most of the events have a moral lesson that can be useful for a person that have never been watched or read anything about it, or to confirm your ideas about it too, confirming your own morals in an anime is really fun!!
In conclusion, the worst aspect of this show is how offensive its unoffensive narrative is. The show is just worth watching if you are either a want to be cop (So you get motivation), a person that is unaware of what a cop is (So you get a solid biased perspective about it), or a cop that is about to retire because the ACAB sentiment is growing strong. In any other case, the anime fails at being funny (Can we get an episode about this anime being arrested for comedy homicide?), interesting, innovative, emotive, surprising, and any other positive adjective that could make it watchable. The main conclusion is, if being a cop in Japan is this boring, why couldn’t they include some non-robotic characters?

Calling the adaptation of Jahy-sama anything but abhorrent would be praising the efforts of the studio, because honestly, this anime is completely devoid of any single redeeming quality, not giving a single fuck about doing something that is not the lowest effort fast food shit ever. From the animation to the soundtrack, from the pacing to the comedy timing, anything that could make something of quality was thrown out of the window from the episode 1, because apparently using the voices of Aqua, Subaru and Nenechi in the ED was enough to attract the viewers to this pathetic experience
Anything that I can say in this
...
review is not harsh enough, the amount of laziness and carelessness is just beyond the shamelessness of the medium, to the point that I could imagine them laughing at every single preventable error, thinking about the crappy quality of their product, and I wouldn’t blame them, I would laugh too. The main offender of this whole train wreck is the animation, which is a complete waste of electric energy and any natural resource used to create this, and I mean human resources too. I could understand that some innocent mind would say “Dude, this anime doesn’t need a big bucks animation”, and I gently agree, but I’m not talking about big flashy bangs cumload highlight reel animation, I’m talking about basic human decency animation, I’m talking about not doing a terrorist attack to the fundamentals of art. To exemplify this, I would go to the most pathetic example (Spoilers ahead), the fight between Jahy and the Mahou Shoujo. The fight between Jahy and the Mahou Shoujo featured a background with some random ass stairs, those random ass stairs, that didn’t even play a role in the whole scene, had a different size and inclination at each single take, fisting any sort of theory about perspective, could that be a joke that played with the absolute ass quality of the fight? Is the trashiness warping the time-space? I don’t know, but it was jarring to see, to the point that it is obvious that they noticed and didn’t even care about fixing it (And I’m talking about a static background, take it for granted that the figures of the characters are just cardboard shapes). Such fight is not an isolated case, the concept of perspective just doesn’t exist in the strange world of Jahy-sama, we get random texts that are supposedly attached to doors floating in space because they didn’t even rotate them accordingly to place them correctly, we get characters being three times their supposed size because they just copy-pasted them, is this a consequence about the destruction of the Dark Realm? I hope it is, but these preventable errors are just a sample of how negligent about anything this anime is.
Sadly, the negligence affects the comedy too. In this case I just don’t know about how the manga treats the comedy, but I suppose that the composition of it would make the experience bearable because you can fast-forward through it without dragging the intended joke, drawing your attention correctly between the panels or whatnot. Sadly, this doesn’t work in anime, you need to guide the viewer through an established time to present the punchline in a precise moment, giving them enough time to elaborate the narrative but not enough time to decipher the whole scheme. For sure, this anime gives you enough time to understand the narration, you can make a tea, do a marathon, play some Wii Sports inspired by the blatant copy of the soundtrack, 56, 24, 36, and the punchline is still waiting to be delivered. It is just unbelievable. The anime drags every single punchline to the point that I’m sure that the people who directed this are just comedy talibans, in a mission of destroying every single ounce of fun that can be generated through the apparently set of worthful ideas. Is this a consequence of the animation? I would say it is, if you drag the punchline to mental asylum levels you can play more with still frames that brings absolutely nothing to the joke, incorporate less scenery, cutting every single corner. This works sometimes because it adds suspense, or because the joke benefits from being dragged a bit longer, but most of the time the joke is the fact that we are supposed to laugh at something that can be seen from the ISS
The agonizing dumpster fire of the execution of this anime can just be saved by the interactions between the characters, which brings some remarkable points, portraying ideas about how we perceive themselves in relation to the others, how we define what is important to us, how we define the expectations of the others over us, or a simple innocent misunderstanding that allows us to perceive a touch of sincerity, with the envelope of enjoying the journey and accepting each other. Can that redeem the efforts of the talibans? No, of course not, the anime is supposed to be a comedy, the anime presents itself as a comedy, the energy is the one of a comedy, and the comedy is car bombed by the production. This anime just doesn’t work unless you want to see a loli transforming into a succubus and some random girls with huge milkers that can serve as your company before sleep. At such point of audiovisual mediocrity, why would you watch this instead of reading some quality hentai? I have some numbers, just DM

A sudden weight on our shoulders comes when taking a decision about our future, the myths of following a straight path to success and happiness infect our decision-making by following a unique dream. The disruption of that dream by an external force is something that is bound to happen to most of us who decided to take a path, breaking the comfort zone of following an established and known path and leaving us in a multidirectional crossroad, obnubilating our sense of future. The Aquatope on White Sand tries to untie this assimilated conflict through the usage of a mysterious yet recognizable common place, the marine
...
world. By using a set of parallels coming from the experiences that the animal world can grant to us, while also applying a deeply human form of relationships and communication, the anime delivers a compassionate and warm place to fall into, installing simple yet helpful perspectives of how to confront the different paths, allowing the spectator to break free of judgement and fear to the unknown. Sadly, the anime is far from being perfect, with a concrete problem coming from the inconsistency of its building blocks, which concludes in uninteresting climaxes, redundancy issues, and wasted storylines that didn’t amount to anything.
The first impact from the series come from its appealing and full of life color palette, the white of the sand, the blue of the sea, and the green of the nature. The color palette let the anime to intersect with the common place of Okinawa, and to generalize, with the idea of being in a subtropical island. Okinawa is a place that is heavily affected by human action, coral bleaching has severely affected their ecosystem, and the purposeful intertwining of the story and the setting through the experience of the marine life make some sense out of it, forwarding a wish to protect the wildlife. The full of life landscapes are made so to fully appreciate the beauty of nature, using didactic representations of the biological ecosystems as a manner to express love to the theme and deepening the characters. The animation is sometimes rough, which can be justified by the complex and distinctive designs of the characters. The marine representation is a hit or miss, the penguins, otters and turtles look gorgeous, but the fish tends to pop up too much, getting a sudden contrast that shouldn’t be there and look unnatural. Overall, the intoxicating warm of the first impact provokes a beautiful invitation to deal with the unknown story, melting us up with the green and drowning our view with an intense deep blue.
The story comes then with two main characters, but it can be assumed that Kukuru is the most relevant one, since it grabs most of the screentime. And I could say that Kukuru is the embodiment of the inconsistency of the series, being particularly controversial because of its strange childish wrongdoings, almost like a person that has never been held accountable of anything. Of course, the main character faces the broken dreams mentioned before, through the departure from her childhood place to the capability of facing new issues, dealing with the idea of letting her character absorb new perspectives, breaking the walls of judgement and stubbornness. Many questions come around with her position, like the validity of our past path as the only possible path, or the adversity of the unknown, or the sometimes unavoidable meddle into the wrong conflicts. To do so, the series uses an extravagant metaphorical perspective about the issues, by using parallels between the struggle of the marine life and the struggles of Kukuru, which is one of the strong aspects of the show. The development of the conflicts of her are a fantastic way to study and teach the symbiotic relationships inside the marine life, the complexities of their mystery, and similarities of their behavior to the human nature (Watch the Orangutan School for something like this) and dealing with her problems through fully-fledged emotional impact. Examples like the obvious parallel with the turtles hatching, the lonely dolphin, the meddling crab, the impact of changing to a new environment portrayed by the penguin, it is both educational, entertaining, and provoking. Sadly, the resolutions of her character are either unrealistic or forced, providing just cop outs to keep the plot afloat because there were either no time or no intent to do something more fruitful and credible, which makes the whole experience a double-faced sensation, we have a full of life development, and the climax of the conflict is a montage of words and events, flat as a stingray.
This duality comes with Fuuka and the incorporation of the other characters too, and it is quite amazing how consistently disappointing the development of some of them is. Fuuka has the reverse problem, her conflicts completely pale in comparison to the main character, coming normally from her emotional fragility, and the series doesn’t provide her enough screentime, but her resolutions are always emotionally strong, by intertwining her position with the main character and giving us lyrically expressive conversations, touchy and delicate. The cast has this same issue, some part of the cast, like Chiyu or Tsukimi, have interesting appearances with a purposeful proposition, either by validating the conception of a new perspective and understanding of the unknown, or by being a bridge of communication with a non-aquarium related person, deploying a projection of the struggles in another area. Then, characters like Kuuya or the guy who just talk in marine lingo are just absurd comedy device that barely works, and the later one main feature is being snubbed out of a completely deserved scholarship, which is kind of sad.
The story is then in a limbo. Through 24 episodes we explore the dreams and the parallels, integrating a bland but welcomed ecological message in the way. The first cour is about keeping the dream alive, while the second cour is about dealing with the shattered dream and going forward, and while the idea behind of such structure is alright, the series extended itself way too much, padding some episodes with some redundancy or delivering half-assed narratives or explanations to keep the episode count. The main problem is that the stories are not slowly building but approaching either at full speed or slow-motion. The full speed manifest through the latest episodes, where Fuuka and Kukuru resolved their struggles in the most absurdly rushed way, by imposing a strange sensation of injustice to the viewer. The slow-motion defines the middle part, where barely anything but a good redemption arc was obtained, filled with misery porn that didn’t achieve anything powerful. The full speed also comes in the final part of the first cour, when the hopelessness invaded the story, chaotic but full of expression. The slow-motion defines the mid part of the first cour, when they decided to extend the concept of Gama Gama not being able to stay afloat with the properties of a gum, through a bunch of backstories that didn’t amount anything but maybe a tearjerker or two.
I suppose that the score could be the conclusion of the review, the series is average, doing some excellent episodes and some plain, awkward, or even enraging ones. While the series failed at many points because of its own ambition or rigid structure, the overall feeling is that this is worth to watch if you are into the position that the story tries to explore. If you are lost, nostalgic, or overwhelmed, then the story can fit an interesting niche to allow you to explore your own emotions and have another outlook of life. If you are not into such position, then the story can’t but feel extremely dry, with failing comedy and please cry drama, kind of ironic since the theme is water.

Taishou Otome Otogibanashi is a tone-deaf masterpiece, completely contradictory by nature, the anime proposes a romance that is barely believable and a sense of having to completely suspense your disbelief against the strange forces of wholesomeness and eye candy relationships. While the anime itself have a bunch of extremely respectable features that I will explain later, the final taste is that this is something that shouldn't exist, or at least, it shouldn't exist as it is.
The anime is not offensively bad, honestly, the comedy works extremely well with the usage of exaggerated emotional reactions, the characters are somehow charismatic, and the energy that the anime
...
radiates does its job at letting us fully enjoy the relationships and quirks of them, it sometimes goes into predictable territory, but you can lose yourself into it without any problem. While the anime just has broadcasted 4 episodes, in each of them we have an interesting perspective over the pain provoked by authoritarian and almost evil family figures, and at the same time it let us go into detail about the perspective of the common people towards those that are above them. I don’t really know if this is historically true, but it works in the concept of the anime and it is a coherent motive about how the other can affect our own sense of development and sentiments.
And that is probably one of the main strong motives of the anime, to forge our own path is not just a thing that we do in the solitude of our own world, but it is a shared experience with all of those who can affect us, be it not just our friends but also our context, the world as an entire idea. Proposing the idea of caring to the one next of us, a positive idea. To extend such proposal the anime uses an interesting way of expressing the mental images of the characters, developing not only a coherent aesthetic that fits the historical period but also a pleasing way to truly understand the sentiments of them.
Why is this anime a 1 then? Because the concept is broken by design. The anime is not oblivious about its lack of touch, during the fourth episode a doctor tell the main character about what everyone who live in a developed country in the 21st century would think, about how buying an underage bride and using her as a servant is just an abuse of power and a completely bankrupt way of treating another human being. The problem is that while this anime is self-aware about how toxic the message is, it doesn’t turn around and make a reflection out of it, but instead just tries to silence those voices and try to go forward with the inhumanity of the main duo. Contradiction. The anime tell us something but does other.
And why is this a toxic message? One could say that this is a historical piece, and then whatever happens in that context is just a historical antecedent about something that existed, equivalent of doing a historical documentary. That would work, and I would love to see a realistic depiction of the reality about arranged child marriages, imagine yourself being a coin of exchange because your family were poor, that is strong. This anime lacks touch at treating such topics, it is tone-deaf, the main struggle presented in the anime is not by the perspective of the bride that was sold but the people who are in power, the equivalent of telling the story about a slave in a cotton farm being obedient and brightening the life of the slave owner. It is wrong, because it uses a deeply controversial topic that is still relevant to the present day, an issue about gender inequality, power distribution and poverty, and romanticize it to create a romcom, a narrative that instead of trying to portray it humanly it does a wish fulfillment manner. The caring sense of this anime just go in one direction because the main girl is not a human character, and the eventual struggle of the child bride by her condition is just used to sold us the character growth of the people in power, or to say, the husband and his family, instead of being a topic on its own.
I could add more negative factors of this anime but it is probably not worth it. The characters face extremely questionable struggles, the main character is not subtle at all about anything, and a bunch of other negatives, but anything that I can say wouldn’t be as problematic as the exposition of bride arrangements. Now, I will gladly delete this review if I sense a change of direction over this, but there is no business about this anime having a score higher than 1 in this situation.

Takt opt Destiny is a derivative greedy waifu bait that emerges from an intent of making a mixed-media project for a gacha game, how fitting by its nature. By using the collaboration of two extremely hyped studios that have an enormous catalogue of quality animation, be it MAPPA, and be it Madhouse, almost like the old school collaborating with the new school, like the Conrad Tokyo of the industry, the anime invited us to watch a visually appealing anime, but while it does so in one way or another because the animation is pleasing to look at, the whole anime sucks nevertheless, being one of
...
the tackiest that I’ve seen this year.
There is a formula that will not fail in anime, or well, it hardly fails. The equation is “Music+Anime=Success”, you could make the most stupid, pandering or bait plot, but if you include music it could hit anyways, just watch how Your Lie in April succeeded while being a predictable and obviously manipulating anime with inhuman characters. To fail at such formula seems like something so out of reach that it dumbfounds me how the music aspect of this anime feels as forced as the research of an antivaxxer. It is terrible. There is a guy, that plays piano, but cant play it, because plot, and there are characters that are supposed to fight with the orders of the music conductors… but they fight with weapons anyways so the music is just background. That is, that is the music aspect, and don’t get me started about how this guy can only think about playing piano for the whole first 3 episodes, and how apparently his play should evoke something on us, how can it provoke something when this character is nothing more than an excuse to play piano and manipulate a waifu like a pokemon trainer. Yeah, I will just go to youtube and hear someone playing piano, it would be the same as this anime, or maybe it would be better, because I wouldn’t hear any of that annoying dialogue that has less deepness than the research of Valkyrae cream. Honestly, the only point of using music in this anime as a source of power is because they will eventually create a climax through music, like Vivy but replacing the annoying robot with an annoying blonde girl
Then the next problem is that the characters are completely out of the concept of creativity, well, apart from their designs which are kind of attractive. Just let me explain it like this; the main trio is composed by an obsessive guy that wants to be free (To play music) and eliminate the D2, while also holding a special power given from the gods of plot that nobody knows how it works, it also has a girl that is extremely badass, edgy to the core, and fights extremely well, and a girl that serves as a bridge between them both and acts as a straight woman but would be better off dead because who cares about her. Now, which anime did this before? Maybe my brain is foggy, I would let you stick the pieces, I won’t attack that here, but I’m not saying that this titanic derivation is originated from there either, just telling how uninspired this is. And I’m not even going to start telling how every other single character is a mess, like seriously, a gay character that sexually harass the main character? a quirky loli character? What will they include next, a terminally ill musician that wants to hear music for the last time?
Anyways, I have to be sincere, most of us didn’t really watch this abomination for the plot, just read the fucking premise, we all watched this because it was a MAPPA x Madhouse project, and the fact that this sucks hard is not because the plot and the characters are completely terrible and out of any conception of originality, this sucks hard because it is just a soulless attempt to sell us a product. The anime is not trying to tell us anything, it is just exposing over and over again an edgy waifu doing edgy shit in an edgy environment because that is what sells today, that is why this anime lacks creativity, because it is using proven formulas and concepts from the latest best-seller anime that have been going hard. If for some reason fighting with swimwear while riding a sausage was successful as a concept take it for granted that this anime would do it, and the main guy would be wearing a speedo

The Vampire Dies in no Time is an anime that has been going under the radar in the community, maybe because it doesn’t feature underage girls or maybe because it looks like made in MS Paint, but that is a shame, because the anime is hilarious, and I will highly recommend it if you like a unique in the medium comedy.
And that is because the execution of the comedy in this anime is a tier above the norm, making any other comedy anime in this season look like a cheap novice experiment made by my nephew after watching the latest challenge of Tik Tok.
...
The way it times the sketches, the way it builds the jokes on top of another, how it plays with the absurdity of the concepts of the anomalous vampire world, how it twist the already formed expectations, it is just amusing to watch. Of course, some jokes could fall flat, the anime sprays a punch every single minute of its runtime, but to dwell into the jokes that didn’t work is just a sad excuse to not enjoy the anime. Why would you stay in what didn’t work instead of looking forward for those gags that are working? Comedy is about moving forward with diversity, and this anime does it in a Cadillac
While the execution is glorious, the content is the perfect condiment. The exploration of the world of vampires and hunters, the parody elements, the way it architects the characters around subverting the expectations, the narcissist and insecure nature of Ronald, the playful nature and the unknown extension of the cowardice of Draluc, the abuse of John, which is also a joke by itself because of the contrast of sanity that it presents, the way it builds itself and introduces in each sketch a new idea, creative but not entirely out of the realm of what is familiar to us, diverse and surprising but not completely out of the world that have been already presented, the content serves perfectly to the already greatly done execution of the comedy elements. Because that it is, the beauty of this anime is the simplicity and the unexpected, the sincerity about what is trying to create, everything is presented as it is and the characters act as they are, developing a sense of familiarity during its runtime and generating a sense of excitement towards the next appearance of the already presented characters.
And that is mostly it, the anime expresses a flood of energy, overflowing the episode with jokes and twists, with running jokes that are piling up because of how ridiculous the characters are and an absurd escalation of the most simple and mundane problem because of how idiotic the decisions are, spiraling into madness in matters of minutes and ending with a punchline that almost always delivers perfectly. This anime is just a goldmine for segments, ideas that blast through the screen with a balanced touch grounding that doesn’t introduce it into the cringe or try hard territory, dialogues between dumbasses that doesn’t go into the brain cell extermination territory.

Through our life we meet the constant sensation of what could have been, an always present feeling that our decisions of the past could have been different. Those feelings are intensified by the present times, constantly we are reminded that the path that we took could have been different by people that are successful in their fields, and even in success the sentiment is still there. Letting time go is nothing but a sacrifice that we do over our own sense of satisfaction, the future is so uncertain that the anxiety that comes with our actions is constantly there, looking at us like a tiger
...
in the woods. Bokutachi no Remake is an attack to those remarks, to understand the consequences of the paths that we take and to explain to ourselves a final thought, that every action has its consequence.
The anime presents itself with such goal in mind. All the events that are presented have such goal in mind. The message is translucent, transparent, and somehow strong. Our lives are subject to every single action, the sensation of failing is nothing but nutritive to our future goals, a learning aspect that we should all face once, and that whatever path we take will have consequences on those who are besides us. Nothing that we do will work in vacuum, and to obsess with the what ifs is unhealthy, because if we put ourselves in such situation the branches of the destiny would completely differ from our beloved dream.
It is then a question of how you present such message, such relatable perception that is strongly human, likely a fate that we all must meet once in our life. The problem is that this anime doesn’t compromise itself with anything, it leaves itself to the path of the generic trails and bastardized troupes that we have all seen before. The message is obscured by the endless competition of who is the best girl, obscured by the extremely shallow and childish exposition of those issues that the main character is meant to tackle.
The feeling that is left from this anime is that the message was interfered by those desires and delusions of what humanity could do. The main character, someone who is pretty much reasonable, psychologically human and leave a huge impression in terms of emotional tact is set in a world filled with superficial issues and lacking the action and consequence of human relations. All events are presented in a grotesque fashion, a bitter sense of delusion and ignorance of how everything works, with comedy levels of resolutions.
This lack of compromise could have been solved easily by not exposing itself to the ignorance, or to investigate better and deliver a more credible execution. Like a short circuit in a ride, the moment we are hit with the unnecessary harem undertones and the lack of knowledge get us out of the whole experience, if you are thinking while watching this, of course. The almost pathetic dialogues and exposition, the childish solutions to everything, violates the clear principle of making something believable. It is an interference.
The most frustrating aspect is that it could have been prevented by focusing itself in the relationships between the characters, to obviate the boring aspects of the show and create a setting that leaves us in a scenario full of life and humanity. The most frustrating aspect is that there is a clear lack of love and interest towards creating a beautiful setting with an insight of the frontiers of human craft, and instead shows a superficial otaku perspective to just play forward into its intended message.
Bokutachi no Remake is nothing but a watered down downright pandering anime that leaves a trail of delusion and lack of real touch, the plastic feeling mixed with the pathetic intents to appeal the lower common denominator leaves the whole message in the dark after a boring set of events that are downright absurd to watch at. Because there is nothing more boring that watching someone having constant success by doing nothing special at all.

Kageki Shoujo is one of those dramas that attacks directly to your heart through a beautiful sequence of impactful memories and a deep love towards its setting and motive. Through a ride into the backgrounds of accomplished characters there is a consequential presentation of all the struggles that are involved in the pressure of performing, a conscious and meaningful intent to develop a critique to the toxicity presented in the current era and a vivid intention to develop the concept of developing a sense of who we are in order to create something unique and beautiful.
The set of characters are in a perfect symbiosis, almost
...
mathematically designed to create gorgeous juxtapositions over their emotions and reflection. From the trauma of being ignored by your family while being superficially accepted from society to the trauma of being denied by your superficial characteristics but being in a warm family circle. From the struggle of being the first and not knowing the light after the tunnel to the struggle of being the natural progression of your family circle and not living up to your own goals. From the struggle of being selfless to the struggle of the unawareness. There is a guarantee that the exploration gets us to those feelings that we can all sort of relate, and that creates perfectly synced relationships in the difference. And to explore what do we love, what do we care about.
The anime takes no doubts to presents itself in a honest manner, through leaving leaves of mystery and aura of humanity during its runtime, the whole concept goes around understanding the characters and their conflicts, their behavior, by knowing their struggles but to also think about how we would act if we knew them. The mystery of humanity and the dark of how each other are is nothing but perfectly presented here, and it leaves a good message, a beautiful message of understanding. If we are to judge them, we would nothing but be subject to our ignorance, and that is how the real world operates, human.
The deep affection to the theatrical arts is presented through a respect to the craft. The coherency between the discourse of each character and their way to express themselves leaves us with a gorgeous intent to reflect what goes through the process of doing something unique, something human. To repulse the repetition and to elevate being yourself. While straightforward, the message is nothing but wonderful in terms of practicality and relevant towards how the characters were designed. There is nothing as not being yourself unless you want to be someone else.
The struggle of succeeding in such arts and whatever craft is also present in a lovely envelope, the pressure from all the potential directions is always shown with delicacy. From not being up to the performance that you should, to never being able to replicate what others do even with your hardest intent, the extremely human expression of what it feels to be the best is there to elevating ourselves to a concept, not everyone can be the star. World is dynamic, a place where everyone is welcomed, and since that is world, the theatrical arts are nothing but a representation of diversity.
Through all those factors presented each of the developments of the characters creates deeply impactful and dynamic moments. We go from tears to happiness, from laughter to deep sensation of despair in matters of minutes, the events have a magical atmosphere that comes from the fact that they were all nothing but human, honest, authentic, and from love. There is no apparent distortion that produces the everlasting plasticity of fakeness.
While the art and the animation are nothing spectacular, the delicacy of the motion of the characters is wonderful to see and it does its job right. The dances, the impactful moments, and those moments where the characters must express themselves are done with care, which doubled down with the musical aspect leaves us with a fitting atmosphere to where the characters can truly flourish.
Sadly, Kageki Shoujo is not a perfect anime, the story gets a little too convoluted and directionless in some sense after the end of the first conflict resolution, and it lacks a bit of elegancy in terms of giving us a concrete reason to explore the backgrounds in some occasions, which doesn’t degrade completely the whole experience anyways. Also, the time structure feels fuzzy, with no clear distinction of how the time passes in many points of the story, which is also an aspect that could have been treated better.
In conclusion, the anime is a correctly done emotional ride with respect to its topics and the sense of humanity, a well-developed drama about human behavior which will leave you with a sense of interest or curiosity about it, since it presents itself as an entire universe of thought complexity, absorbing characters involved in an artistically pleasing setting

Tokyo Revengers is a decadent shallow manufactured collection of frames. Featuring one of the most abhorrent main anime characters that I had the displeasure to watch, the series is an aggravating disrespect to the viewer from beginning to end, without any sense of connection to anything resembling human behavior set in a world where the latest update of human intellect didn’t hit yet to let a set of pathetic intent of emotional baits flow. Born from the delusion of what coolness and edginess could fare in the human reality, the anime hits you throughout all its runtime with an extravagant spice of dishonesty and lack
...
of care to provide anything more meaningful than hormonal screaming.
*During this review I will use spoilers because of two reasons. The first is that to illustrate the dishonesty and disrespect I need to use them, the second is because I don’t see any purpose of watching this. *
To start to understand why this anime fits all the description above, I will explain a little the premise of it. The anime starts in a seemingly similar form to other stories that have been done in the past, with a loser guy that gets transferred to the past after being broken by the news about her ex-girlfriend. This character was strangely incapable of believing her eyes, which is normal, I wouldn’t either. And then, after a series of events, he had an epiphany, to change the past to save his most loved ones with the help of a friend, which leads him to learn more about the background of gangs and the characters involved in them.
This seemingly straightforward and easy to manage formula to propel drama and action in a delinquent setting started to evolve episode after episode into a pathetic excuse of disjointed highlights and impactful moments that could make an impression in the viewer, not setting anything else as a substance that could redeem the lacking execution, creativeness, and power of them. The set of shallow cardboard characters that started to interact with our MC that have been integrated sequentially through the plot and the convenience of our hero are nothing but an excuse to create more of these apex of excitement, to generate a twitter clip with a cap saying “RT if you cried to this”, or to show the stylistically pleasing characters in a badass moment that would serve well as the profile picture of a rebellious teenager after being scolded by her mother because of his falling grades in math. Arc after arc the fellow manga readers hyped what would happen next, and my dumbass trusting them got underwhelmed every time.
The anime and story itself don’t serve any other purpose but virality through a mix between straightforward stupid and over the top drama, low quality action and scenes that could grant the ever-growing society of solitude screenshots of the most intense moment to post in a page. And honestly, just honestly with the deep of my heart, I have no problem with that. I have watched plenty of anime that are meant to be nothing more than a product that can sell correctly, I have even given good scores to some of them because they are self-aware of it, which is then the problem with this? The problem of this is that everything around it is as pestilent as a garbage dump, as pointless as an anime review, as worthless as the Venezuelan currency.
To explain the motivations about the claims above I would divide the review in four points that construct such argument. The first point that I would attack is the coherency and consistency of the characters, or, in this case, how many times the decisions of the characters have no other reason but pushing forward the hype, trending topic moments instead of giving us texture of their psychological statement and decision-making, instead of telling us who they are.
In this case I would gladly say something positive, Takemitchy should be awarded with something, Takemitchy should be recognized by everyone for a single feat, and it is being the dumbest and most useless time traveler in the history of media. While watching this a colossal annoying amount of question marks starts to pop. How, a person that is fighting continuously against a strange force, could have the same proactivity as the western governments during the pandemic. How, a person that is 12 years older than his own body, could act with the same level of reasoning as some full of hormones teenagers that have no foreshadowing about the consequences of their actions. How, a person that is 12 years older than his own body, didn’t learn a single thing through those years and can’t even manipulate a teenager into doing something. How, a person that is 12 years older than his own body, can’t come up with a plan to get above kids that are also pretty much the bottom barrel of human intellect by default, and probably into mental disorders because of the amount of head trauma that they have suffered. How, a person that have a literal detective working with him, can’t do anything but the most straightforward in the box planning that could one ever imagine, a plan that not even a pre-teen would think that could work correctly based on all the antecedents that the own anime presents us.
All these questions could only lead to one answer, the only reason that could justify the set of incoherent decisions that our beloved MC and his buddy Naoto take. The truth is that Takemitchy and Naoto are pretending to care about Hina, but they secretly want to write a biography about Takemitchy that could be a best seller in Japan, so they need to act dumb to provide more action and insight about the youth gangs. This line of thinking is motivated by the fact that there is no way that an adult wouldn’t involve the cops or any third party in this conflict, there is no way that an adult can’t convince a group of people about his judgements by having knowledge of things that would happen next, there is no way that an alternative plan that doesn’t involve fights can’t be done by their perspective, even using money to do such.
Can’t they see the future events? Why do you need to risk everything to the last second? Why would you plan something that have a potentially deadly outcome, while also knowing that you are a useless piece of crap that doesn’t do anything but cry the moment you hit the conflict and narrate what is going on to the spectator? Are you just forcing yourself to create a believable and interesting character development instead of solving the conflict? This incoherency could be overlooked, fine, but it is just a telling about how disrespectful this anime is towards the people who watch it. The behavior is then just justifiable if you don’t trust and respect the capability of the viewer to be able to fill realistic alternatives and understand basic human behavior. Anyways, continue, this alone doesn’t deserve a 1.
The second issue is that not only the characters actions are incoherent and have no resemble of basic human behavior, but the worldbuilding and the apparent rules that are subject to each of them are also as incoherent. To exemplify this, lets remember that certain character for some reason survived several hits to the head that could pretty much kill you or leave you unconscious in any kind of semi-realistic setting, like the one presented, let’s remember that this happened two episodes AFTER another character died because of one hit that didn’t even have the same level of momentum. Is it then to believe that some characters are not subject to the constraints of human body? Is strength linked to the hardness of our skull? I guess that we can’t really tell with the things that have been shown as of now, but I highly doubt so, I don’t just highly doubt so but, like the incoherency of the characters decisions, incoherency about the rules of the universe of the anime are just there because of disrespect, laziness, and the search for hype, virality, drama, misery, and thrill, and they are the norm of this anime.
The same could be said about the time travelling mechanic, which is nothing but a device to propel drama and misery to the main character through retroactively reminding how worthless he is. Nothing more than a device to kick the story and create moments that would just create tears in highly gullible people. My reasoning about time-traveling being anything a cheap device to create drama and conflict come from two facts. The first is that the main character can’t take advantage of the mechanic because he is as dumb as a bag of rocks, the second is that the time travelling itself is just nonsense in terms of consequences related to the actions of the main character in the past and completely incoherent to the present. And why do I say that there is no way that the mechanic is coherent? In the first episode our dear main character said that his life completely changed after being humiliated by Kiyomizu, he supposedly left the town because of such event after graduating, which is kind of sad, right? Life altering circumstance, I would have killed myself. Shake hands with the next worst detective of Japan, came back, Naoto next to him, his life should be as miserable because the affair wasn’t resolved yet, we can trust such thing happening honestly. Then, we get to him solving the affair, he didn’t have to deal with the consequences of Kiyomizu being above him, he shouldn’t have left the city after graduating because there is no reason for that, his relationships dynamics changed completely because he is now involved with some shady guys, and he came back. To the same exact point. Ok. Naoto remembers the apparent changed past too. Ok. No problem, we can deal with this with some mental gymnastics, like two different timelines collapsing to Naoto conscience and Takemitchy travelling between those timelines. Remember that in both cases he was unconscious during the time travel in his current timeline, so there is an apparent real time present change. Then, his life change even more, now he is buddy big buddy of Mickey, he came back to the present, and the point of respawn changed to his workplace, his life was completely the same as before, but Naoto wasn’t there, same work, same life, but he wasn’t unconscious. Same life as before as he solved the affair with Kiyomizu, same life as before he was friends with Mickey, same exact life as before he saved Draken. I hope that you can follow what I meant to say by this. The three time-travel events can’t coexist in the same universe. You can always generate a line between two points, but if the other point is in the other side of the plane you must completely bend the function.
And this is the case here, one event contradicts the other by default, should we accept such with a happy face? That is what people told me, but I’m clearly not happy with that. All this inconsequential storytelling, these contradictions that build bigger and bigger episode after episode could just go through your own capability of being ashamed if you don’t trust and respect the capability of the viewer of watching critically what is going through the screen. Anyways, continue, this is not enough to give this anime a 1. Intellectually offensive, but can something else be going on, right?
The third point that makes this highly chaotical, barely correlated anime a piece of garbage is how every event that happens is presented, the abhorrent execution. As we can tell, Takemitchy is a bitch, a coward, a good for nothing, a weakling, a chicken, a yellow-belly crybaby. He doesn’t do anything; he is a worthless piece of crap that doesn’t deserve our pity, he even tried to cheat on her girlfriend and kissed a minor. The plot doesn’t even respect or build its own rules and it is heavily disconnected from human behavior. Ok. That could still provide something decent, right? We could have moments where everything flows together, intense sequence of events that link each other to don’t let our eyes get out from the screen.
No, it isn’t the case, it isn’t the case because every single plot point, every single event is complemented with some mental asylum level of expositions or over the top predictability. That exposition could came from Takemitchy narrating what is literally happening on our screen every single fight scene, that exposition could be that dumbass Kazutora reminding us that the writer doesn’t even pretend to make a psychologically broken and delusional character and instead made a Pokemon-like dialogue so people who didn’t receive enough oxygen in their birth could understand that his head is twisted and make dumb memes about it, that exposition could be Naoto explaining what literally happened in the past to the MC because he can’t even deduce how to change his pants after getting them dirty with pre-ejaculate fluid from kissing a minor with his 26 years old virgin brain.
All these events are nothing but disrespect to the capability of the viewer to get the plot, nothing but the intent to appeal to the lower common denominator and creating something as wide as possible while highly decorating these flaws through bombastic trash to watch fights, incoherent shouting, and hype badassery with guys without shirts, dyed hairs and tattoos. And it sucks to watch, it sucks to watch because it converts a lot of time into white noise that could have been easily prevented, it sucks to watch because it is made for people who are scrolling through their friends instragram stories while watching this, it sucks to watch because it just reminds me of those cheap soap operas that you watch while cooking some high-level spaghettis with ketchup. Fights and points that could pretty much be summed up in 5 minutes are prolonged to 20 minutes just because they don’t trust and respect the capability of the viewer to understand the shallow mess of the plot that have been presented.
The fourth and last point is also maybe the one that offends me the most because it talks volume about the people who watch the medium and the respect to the creators, the main offender for how it has been defended by the ones who love this anime because of their low standards and nonsensical overly positive thinking, and this is the animation and art. I will tell you no false truths, the animation sucks. The animation is subpar, below the average that have been the norm in anime of even low budget studios, and it also doesn’t try to innovate in anything. Hell, we don’t ever have to go that far in the past to get a point of comparison, Super Cub is an anime made from a small studio that was pleasing to watch just because they did what they could, the story is meh, the direction, fantastic. Kageki Shoujo is an anime that is pleasant to watch because the motions are correctly executed when it is needed, the design is not KyoAni levels, the fluidity is not of the level of Shaft or MAPPA, but it is beautiful to watch because they poured their hearts on it. This is not the case here, not at all.
The animation of this anime is horrendous to watch and a complete disservice to the overall experience too, and rabid manga readers accept such too, which should tell volumes about the amount of copium that some people must take to defend this. Static backgrounds of people in fights, character motions that are extremely choppy if they are not the same one-dimension directional motion that they do all the time, deformed facial structures and body figures, use and abuse of the same face angles, lifeless color palette, use and abuse of slideshow like montages, use and abuse of translational camera movements. We could excuse some of them in the lack of resources and time, but then, why would you create a storyboard that can show all this flaws? They do because they don’t trust and respect the capability of the viewer of discerning those flaws. Because they can get away with this because of the morbid mentality that equals criticism with attacks. Critical thinking is what moves everything forward, you are doing no favor if you don’t give feedback.
Now, those four points are enough for me to call this a 1. I didn’t learn anything from this anime, the anime didn’t provide anything new that I haven’t watched before, the anime didn’t have any positive message that haven’t been told to the infinity and beyond in other anime, the anime didn’t try to go deep into anything, the anime didn’t explore anything of substance, the anime didn’t provoke anything human on me.
The anime is just a collection of moments, a set of scenes that could be packed into a set of TikToks every Saturday to get thousands of likes, the anime is just delusion, a violence glamorizing fantasy. The anime could pretty much be a parody of its own genre, and then maybe it could work. Takemitchy could pretty much be a parody of the most pathetic MCs that are present in the medium, and then maybe it could work. The time traveling nonsense could pretty much be some next level irony about how most of the time there are big holes when they implement such mechanic, and then maybe it could work. The problem is that the anime is always serious about his own self, it is not an anime that works in disrespect to itself that could portray a critique to the medium. It is an anime that works in disrespect to the viewer, to our capability to think and critique, that explores the possibilities of mediocrity and how much it can get away with while being successful. And maybe they did their experiment right because this was highly successful with all its downfalls. And maybe they did their experiment right because people who defend this anime tells those who critique to not think, do they deserve respect then?
The question would be, why should I care then? Why would I waste my time explaining the lame point of view of someone who didn’t turn his brain off while watching this, who for some reason believed the always wrong source readers and expected to see something that deserves my attention? I think that the issue with this mediocrity is that it leaves space to more mediocrity.
I think that the issue to not entice thinking is that it promotes less thinking. I think that the issue with shallowness is that it promotes a vapid culture. And I think that what we should strive for is to get away from that, to get pieces that could stand the time because their inherent value is there and deserve so, that could serve even without the social trending, without the viral phenomenon, that could exist and prolong themselves in the future and when the next generation of people watch these shows they won’t think “Damn, those fuckers had such bad taste”. Tokyo Revengers hype will decay, people will forget about it, but the overall mentality will perdure, and that is what I meant to portray here. What I meant to do by giving this a 1 and writing this review is just to call out this behavior, to tell them that fun things are not meant to be also dumb and incoherent, that there is always an underlying message, intention, emotion behind the frames that are given to us through the media player, because they have been done by a human, by one of us, and to capture what they wanted to do is the most beautiful aspect of consuming what the others do.
That incoherence and disrespect to the audience should then have no place to stand, because it is dishonest, and to my belief dishonesty is one of the ugliest concepts that one could face, one of the ugliest because it emerges from the sense of getting away of consequences, from the sense of mutual understanding and respect, from love to the ones that are out there, from community. And you shouldn’t get confused, when I meant that it is dishonest, I don’t mean that anyone involved is completely at fault of every sense of dishonesty here. The animators and the ones that do the production are not at fault at anything but the fact that they were given conditions that couldn’t suffice a good production, the writer is not at fault at anything but his own incapability to make something better, I can’t attribute malice to anyone individually because it would be dumb to do so, I don’t know any of them, but I can do it as a whole, as the entity called Tokyo Revengers, because when they saw this and they said “Hmm, it is alright, keep doing it” an act of dishonesty was conceived, because I can’t really think that people who dedicate their own lives to the medium would think that this is correct.
Human emotions transcend through honesty and attachment to reality while the exposure of time kills the essence of virality
Peace, Gween
