*CONTAINS SPOILERS* I never even thought I'd give a 10 to a shonen anime, but the time has come.
Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Ressha-hen is the epitome of japanese cinema.

First, the Mugen Train arc is just outstanding, as much as it was in the manga. From the opening scene presenting Oyakata-sama and his lost apprentices to the final fight (which is one if not the best I've seen in my whole life) featuring Rengoku vs the Upper Rank Demon Akaza, the story and its pacing never let me down and I was on the edge of my seat for the whole showing.

As expected from an ufotable ... production, animation is god-tier, as seen in the 2019 TV anime series. Sound was even better than in the anime and the action scenes' sound design were remeniscent of Enen No Shouboutai, which was the best part of this particular anime in my opinion. I loved the sound effects used in fights, especially when fire is involved. Voice acting is as good as ever, and the characters are awesome, especially Rengoku.

Overall, I'd recommend seeing this movie to anyone who loves movies even a tiny bit, it's a masterpiece of japanese cinematography, with thrilling action scenes and heartbreaking dramatic moments. Even with the COVID-19 circumstances involved, I'd really recommend seeing this in a IMAX theatre if you can, for the optimal experience (art work looks even better on a umongous 4K screen, trust me). Don't miss this.

I've only read the first chapter of One Operation Joker (which is the only one that released) and oh boy. American comic books fan are in for an absolute treat. It's funny, it's beautifully drawn and it takes us to parts of Joker's personnality which I never thought we'd see someday. I mean, Joker trying to be a good dad to Batman, WHO THOUGHT IT'LL HAPPEN SOMEDAY. It's very good. The first chapter really hooked me and I'm looking forward to more soon :)

Big shout out to Gotou Seisuke for the art, it's amazing and realistic even with the tone of the series. I really ... think this series could blow up if enough people take it in consideration.

It was my first time experiencing the classic story of Frankenstein, and I was always tempted to jump in the world of Junji Ito. I think this is a great preview of how much of a great mangaka Ito is. But the story of Frankenstein itself is not my cup of tea even though he wrote it so beautifully. Since this is an adaptation, the story and its tone wasn't chosen by the author itself. The art is just incredible.
The second half of the story, where the Monster wants a wife is the best and where Ito's grotesque art is at its best. He really ... knows how to write and draw eerie stories and characters.
