I could go on and on here, but i will straight to the point, this is one of the BEST anime i've watched, not because it is super complex like Ergo Proxy, no because it is deep like Berserk and neither because of how revolutionary it was, but because this anime captivates you, this anime makes you feel like you are hanging out with a couple of friends, you feel connected to the story and it is so much FUN, this anime is light on you, easy going, if you want to watch something that is enjoyable and beautiful, WATCH THIS !

Hello everyone! This is the first review of this VERY underated horror anime, and sadly so, because this is a great horror show, it has a great atmosphere and that feel of danger in each episode, you connect really well with the characters. I have watched a good amount of horror anime and i can say this is a very good one, especially for its time, in the 80´s and 90´s it was really hard to stand out, because great animes of that genre were coming, and if something stood out, it is because it was good, sadly it was overshadowed by bigger releases here
...
in the overseas, so this never left japan, and that is the only "problem" i had, becuase you will have to watch the raws of it, no fansub in spanish, english or brazilian portuguese (the only languages i can fully understand, but, i also didnt find anything in italian or french, let alone german.), the raws are in the internet so you can watch it, but, have in mind that it is a raw, so you need to know one thing or two. The plot is simple and direct, but doesnt fall into the boring or dumb class, it is actually a great horror plot in a school setting, but, due to it being very focused on telling the story through the psychological horror of the chars reacting to the atmosphere, if you understand a bit of japanese you will be able to keep up just fine.
The story start with a suicide from some girl that was kinda bullied and left behind by the class president, and after the suicide the girl who is the president of the class starts to dish and say that she was useless and her death was just life, people die everyday and the school shouldn't stop because of a simple mediocre student who died, then our heroin, the main character jumps in to calm things down and put the president on her place saying we should respect the family loss and stuff about how we need to respect the dead ones, but them, the story really starts when the spirit of the girl starts to shake the vase that was put in her table as a sign of respect, the class gets scared and this is were it all begins, i wont tell anything more because it would be a spoiler, and this series is sooo good, please check it out brothers and sisters !

Hey everyone, since the last review posted was from almost 12 years ago, and the movie was released 15 years ago i felt that a new review would be cool, i won´t say much different from the later review, but, i will pull my points of view and my opinion on it :
First of all and most importantly is to reinforce some points :
1) This movie is a tribute to the japanese kaijuu movies (godzilla and etc) and also the metal heroes and tokusatsu series, so the premise and the main idea was never to change the genre or to shock, but,
...
to feel as a nostalgic piece for fans of that style.
2) The artstyle and animation was intended to look old, to feel like it is an old series from the late 70's/80's that had the time setting in the futuristic 2000's.
3) This is a short 25 minute long movie, so it would be really unfair to judge it like i would judge a big production or a long series.
Now, lets get to it, the only issue i had was the lenght, i wished so bad this was longer and had more development and time to explain the story better, aside from that, i enjoyed this movie a lot. Basically the movie plot is about an exploration on mars that resulted in the awakening of an ancient monster from mars called "Negadon", thus, the name of the movie, and it brings the question of wether the human race should or should not explore the universe and how that exploration should be done, because our world is literally a little point in the middle of an infinity universe full of older and bigger galaxies, so, should us really play the tough guys and just invade stuff ? and that is pretty much the movie, and that is were we get our main character, a old scientist with a very sad and tragic past that i will not get into, because as it is very short and we have very little story, explaining anything would really ruin your experiences, but, what i can tell you is : This old man is epic ! Take a look at this movie if you have the time, you will not be dissapointed.

Hello everyone ! well, this time is the time to review a classical yet quite obscure anime (for the right reasons), but, before starting this no spoiler review i want to clear some stuff up, first of all, it is not as bad as people say sometimes, calling it absolute trash or the worst horror anime ever, and another thing is that this is not a adaptation of the Bram Stoker novel, but actually an adaptation of the Marvel comics story of a same name that is a adaptation of the novel, so this is kinda of the adaptation of a adaptation (yeah quite
...
messy).
Now lets get into it, as i mentione this is an adaptation of an adaptation, trying to convert a book converted into a comic book into a anime is a task that well, can be called tough at the very least. In this anime you will see some points from the novel, others totally made up and some that i dont know if were originated from the comics because i didnt read it haha, and that is the problem, the anime tried to be original and to be faithful at the same time, which cause it to end up boring and rushed at the same time.
The movie tells the story of a satanic cult trying to realize and "black sabbath" or a "dark cult" in order to summon satan and present him a new bride, with Dracula being the messenger to Satan, taking the bride to him, but he ends up falling in love with her and betrays Satan and the whole cult. On the other hand we have descendents of Van Helsing and the Harker family who are there to hunt and kill the non-life king Nosferatu Dracula.
This sums up the plot and the initial story being told, but there are some plot twists and revelations that cause the movie to become boring sometimes or totally nonsense, but then when things have to be solved it gets very rushed in, which is the biggest problem from this anime.
That anime is indeed a classic of horror and a very underated one, if you are a horror anime fan, or a vampire fan or someone who really likes classical 70/80´s anime i would recommend you gave it a try, of course it is not a mandatory one as we have Golgo 13, Kick no Oni, Sagata Sanchirou and Ashita no Joe on that period, but if you already saw those and doesnt have anything better, give old Dracula a chance, also, it is a stand alone movie so if you dont like it so much, at least you wont need to see 20+ to find out what happened.
Technically speaking the art style is average most othe time, but has times of glory throught the movie and has that early 80's and late 70's style that i do enjoy, the only problem is with the sound, the soundtrack is good, but the voice action quality sometimes feel off, but as it is very old i can understand why converted versions have a worse quality sound wise. Well, in resume, give it a try guys, i believe even if you dislike it you will still have some good laughs with some crazy over the top stuff that happens there.

As no one has written a review yet, i thought i should give it a shot as it´s been a while since a last wrtoe something. Well let´s begin, this is an indie short anime film, so that would be unfair to use regular standsarts to judge this one, but even with that, we can´t really save much from it.
"Tough Guy!" Tells the story of a praying Mants (that is just called tough guy) that is passionated by martial arts adn wants to become strong, and basically every "act" or episode is based on his journey to do it, yes it is a movie
...
but it shows those act changes between the scenes, i will not spoil anything but basically every act is about a main rival for him, and it is also very comic related, so if you had any hope this was some real battle movie about a mantis please stop haha, it is really fun, especially the act about human interations.
Speaking about technically talking the movie is pretty bad, the sound quality and the image is pretty bad, but the animation is not THAT bad, its definitely low, but not shitty, the main probably is the dub, there is no sub to it, even in japanese, and you cant really forgive that because the quality is terrible, you cant hear pretty much nothing they say, you get things from watching the scene and taking the context of it and from reading the texts in between acts.
In the end, it is one of those underated and unknow anime/japanse works that are really weird but worth checking because in the end it is art and makes you see how diffferent ideias people have and create, so if you have 6 minutes to check it and wants too, i would say look for some Studio Colorido short, but if you really want, check to forum post discussion for this anime and there is a link to watch it. See you all on the next review.

Well, as this is a short animation, it is gonna be a cool short review too ! This animation is very misunderstood by some sort of bullsh1t dark humor short when its not it, if you pay enough attention you will see that what the car "runs over" actually falls into it, and if you look frame by frame or just pay a bit more attention, you will realize it falls like a baby and ends up "aging" as the animation goes on. So with that in mind, the meaning to this is probably show that life passes to everyone like a car in
...
a rainy day.
The animation quality is not the great, more effort could have been invested on it, as for some poeple i believe was a huge red flag for calling it a bad anime, the sound is good, you can understand what is going one, character ? not much to it, and overall a 4/5 is fair, as it is just a short not really a series, so you cant take it as serious.

ONE OF THE BEST ANIME OF THE YEAR ! For real i loved it, alongside mob pyscho 2 and Vinland Saga, this is one of the 2019´s masterpieces, Kengan Ashura is the best martial arts focused anime i have ever seen, i am a HUGE fan of animes of that genre, and my favorite one is Baki, but Kengan is really astonishing. Kengan really bears a lot of inspiration from Baki, especially some designs and abilities(and no, they are not rip-offs), like in Baki there is a character that has a beastly grip power, in Kengan there also is, but the way they use
...
their grip power is entirely different and extremely creative(and violent of couse!), for me what makes kengan so good it that it is really close written i could say, the plot goes really through a planned flow and i am looking for the conclusion of it, SEASON 3 COME SOON PLEAAAASEEEE!!!, and for me that is the thing that makes Kengan so good, it doesnt lose its essence and neither does make you feel "why is this happening ? boring..." it is a thirlling, testoterone filled, gruesome adventure, so if you like martial arts, over the top stuff, some good houmour and manliness, then Kengan is for you. And also the characters are fantastic, i love almost all of them, they are quickly introduced and also get along quickly with the audience, great charisma! So please, do yourself a favor and watch this !

Hello everyone, it is me again, your favorie SS rank reviewer! XD ok, jokes aside, i am going to give you all a quick and simple, yet helpful review without spoilers, as i always say, i like people to fall fresh on the series, so let's get into it. The series has Togashi's way of telling a story more matured since he wrote Yu Yu Hakusho, so you can expect a more dense plot and better developed characters, the start is slow and simple and very down to earth, Togashi is a genius that knows how to start a series, cause he knows that a
...
good Shounen needs to have a story that is buyable, nobody (especially nowadays where animes are pretty much watched everywhere) buys a story where some dude gets strong cause the author said so or cause he saw his friend drinking water and thought "OH i could use water as a power" and bang, asspull done sucessfully, he knows that series like that start well but in the end fall apart, as they are not solid built from the begginig, and this is the case with some works these days were everyone gets hyped and then it falls apart cause of protagonism and asspull after asspull, not wanting to critized or negative a show for nothing, but Fairy tail and Bleach are examples of that, the story looked nice from the beggining but keeping the same formula or trying to make weird stuff ruined them, while other works like Boku no Hero and One punch Man(even though it is pretty much a seinen)are the opposite,these two are really well done, but ok, going back to HxH, that is the difference on Togashi's work, the start catches you cause of its simplicity and character quality and slowly starts to speed up and get even more dense, the way the anime ends shows how great of a writer Mr Togashi is, i wish the manga ended where the anime did :( But that is a story for another day, and oh btw, the characters are perfect, go it out bro, enough talk around here, see yaaa

Mod Edit: This review was originally posted for Akuma Kishi (7757) and has subsequently been merged into Gensen Tanpenshuu: Gougasha (116649).
Let's continue the Go Nagai works review marathon ! This time with the Devilman prequel "Akuma Kishi", this is a very short story with only 3 chapters, a really quick read but an enjoyable one, some fun facts about the manga are that it is full colored and it was the only manga(that i know of) that had a yearly release schedule, and no, not like Berserk or HxH, cause those in theory have a monthly schedule and just are currently in a irregular due
...
to the authors constatly going on hiatuses and literally releasing 1 chapter or 2 per year(when they release something), and Akuma Kishii is the opposite, he was scheduled from the begging to be 3 chapters long with 1 released each year, being 2007,2008 and closing in 2009. But lets go back, as you guys probably already know, i dont spoil anything on my reviews cause i like people to fall fresh into stories, but summing up really quick, the story is about Akira having a dream that is a memory from the past from Amon, and it shows how Amon, Silene and Lucifer where a part of God army back in the Eden's Garden paradise times, and how everything fell apart with the return of the demons from the sealed mountains (the prison God made to them), it is a really nice take on the story and really adds a lot to the Devilman canon Universe and to the overall horror/action manga industry, so with that in mind, to discover how things turned out and what that dream meant, you will have to find out for yourselves, have a nice read pals !

Hello everyone, my second try of posting this review cause my internet/keyboard for some reason trolled me and freaking erased my text... So here i am one day later after reading other stuff to relax and also after a party, so expect me to be quite excited about that review. OK, enough with the bullsh**, let's get to the very point, that is VIOLENCE JACK, i absolutely love Go Nagai's view of horror and the way he tells this kind of story, that is the main reason he is one my favorite authors of all time and in that work his artstyle evolved a lot,
...
it is really good to look at, especially in the full page panels,i will write a quick NON-SPOILERS review, cause like i always say in my reviews, i like to see people dive fresh into stories, with only the minor knowledge to lead them into it and help them absorb as much as they can. The story takes place in a post-apocaliptcal wasteland in japan, after a terrible earthquake destroied the land, the scenario in really similar to fist of the north star, but as Jack came before Hokuto, i believe it surved as a inspiration for Hokuto, and just a nice fact for you guys, Violence Jack, especially the protagonist heavily influenced Kentaro Miura on the creation of the Berserk universe and also on the creation of Guts, but ok, back to VJ, in the middle of that wasteland, some people are trying to survive peacefully and rebuild society, while others, with wicked, twisted and vile minds just want to be agents of chaos and tear apart what is left of the mankind, so expect cruelsome villains, rapers, serial killers, demonic beings that shock even the most brave ones, but, in response to these villains, he comes from the shadows, from the black hearts of the same men who created him, with the voice of silence and a mission of justice(Sting reference yall wrestling fans!) comes Jack, he carries a gigantic jackknife that looks more like a manchete, so they call him violence jack, he has a minor moral code to keep his journey in the right way and not became just a killer machine, he is one of the best protagonists EVER, stand out of the majority of protagonists, cause he responds the violence with even more violence, there aint no "take this as a lesson and stop being evil" Jack knows he is in a land where there is no hope left, the people doing bad stuff are doing this cause they are psychos, they have pleasure in it, so he responds them equaly, but he is not only rage and violence, Jack shows a kind side(in his own manner) especially with child, showing he is not a agent of chaos, but kind of a demon with a golden heart(reminds you of something doenst it ? the ending will get you guys, so read it)And with that i finish my review, give that manga a chance, sometimes in the middle the story gets a little weird but the ending is totally worth it, i really hope netflix gives Violence Jack a adaptation like they made with devilman, or even a crossover with new animation and a good treatment would suit, this series deserves some love, lets see what the future holds for our friend Jack !
