Attack on Titan is a generation defining masterpiece.

Over the past 10 years, Attack on Titan or, Shingeki no Kyojin, has been one of the most popular, most loved, and most complex and interesting story that give us an important message relevant to our past, present and future. The lore, the characters, everything, has evolved overtime, and its different plot lines, characters, music, scenes, everything has become memorable for a huge generation. Attack on Titan's ending it the equivalent of some of the entertainment's biggest events in story telling for the Anime community. This is the climax of the story spanning over a decade to finish, ... and well for some it may not be perfect, for some it's amazing, for me and a lot of people, this season and the whole show overall is a masterpiece.

Story: 10/10
The story of Attack on Titan was pretty simple at first. Humans vs Titans, humans surviving in a titan apocalypse, and back in the first few episodes and seasons that was just it, but now the story has evolved over the past few seasons to something more something greater, something that has blown the minds of every viewer, instilled fear, emotion, joy, excitement, anger, hatred in them, and has created a community that has together supported the show, and brought people who can share their theories, and opinions.

This season's final chapter has a story that has made me excited, laugh, and cry. This is the end of one of our favorite stories, so this is most likely to be emotional for all. From these last 2 movies/episodes, we are able to see beauty unfold in this dark and cruel story. These last chapters are a love letter to every season that came before it, we end up seeing all our favorite characters that have leaded us up to this point face their greatest battle and ultimately their climax. The story captures everything it needed to do, it has created a bunch of iconic scenes and twists and turns that will define this generation and overall will be remembered for years to come. The ending left many viewers, including me, satisfied, it gave a fitting conclusion to this amazing show. 10/10 for the story.

These last 2 episodes were animated beautifully by MAPPA and were made with so much care and detail, and it really shows how they have learned from past animation mistakes, and have really improved on everything. To me these last episodes have been the best animation quality Attack on Titan has had, and it has deserved. The blend of CGI and 2D animation is seamless and everything looks beautiful with all its colors and visuals. In this final chapter there have been many scenes that I can say are wallpaper, and poster worthy. Some scenes look super majestic, and it really gives the show the quality it deserves, and fixes some scenes that looked awkward in the manga. Without the masterfully drawn animation, we wouldn't have had some of the iconic scenes we have now because of this season. Amazing how a busy studio like MAPPA is able to produce this masterpiece level of quality for Attack on Titan, so I truly commend them for their hard work. Thank you MAPPA for this masterpiece.

Sound: 10/10
The soundtrack for Attack on Titan has always been spectacular, sure some scenes in past seasons may have felt better with a different soundtrack, but in this final chapter they have not missed anything. The music hits all the emotions and excitement felt through these final episodes and overall completes a scene. The OP and ED for the Episodic version of these episodes are beautifully made, and the final ending theme is just perfect. Linked Horizon has returned to great us with a final song for this masterpiece, just like when we first got Guren no Yumiya back in 2013. Over all perfect soundtrack.

Character: 10/10
By far, Attack on Titan's strongest points is its characters and how they have evolved throughout the seasons. The character growth of Eren has been my and many people's favorite. We get to wonder and ask questions like, "why did he start the rumbling?", "why is he abandoning his friends?", "is he truly free?", and all these questions are things that have kept us engaged with his character. Eren's 2 best friends Mikasa and Armin play a crucial role in this story and especially Mikasa's development, "will she be able to kill Eren if she has to?" that question is one of her weaknesses, and it's what makes her complex. Armin who has always been seen as weak by a lot of people has a chance to grow and overcome his weaknesses to become one of the strongest and most important character. These 2 character's and their journey with Eren through the years is what we have since the beginning to see the end of their journey has been emotional to say the least.

Attack on Titan is mainly about how humanity will always lead to war and destruction, and what the characters have been through to show that. This chapter is fascinating since our characters that were both enemies are made to join sides to stop a greater threat. The relationship among these characters is what truly makes Attack on Titan special. How it all ends, who dies and who lives?, I can't tell you, but for me the ending left me empty but satisfied. 10/10 for these masterfully crafted characters.

Enjoyment: 10/10
For my over all Enjoyment of Attack on Titan's last and final episodes, I'd say it was a masterpiece. No other work from me can describe how I overall felt about this show. The crazy twists, the amazing action scenes, the character development, everything, has made this experience perfect for me and I truly believe that anyone can find enjoyment and thrill along the ride that is Attack on Titan.

Attack on Titan has been a journey, through the harsh realities of war and genocide, to the experiences that give life meaning. It has been the gateway to the world of anime for many. This show is something special and something that has changed lives and can even teach us a lesson on how to better our future. The story of Eren, Mikasa, Armin, jean, Levi, Connie, Reiner, Hange, Erwin, Zeke, Bertolt, Sasha, Grisha, Ymir, and the others will be remembered as one of the most epic of stories. This journey after 10 years has ended and with it,

Attack on Titan will go down in history as one of the greatest shows of all time.

Thank you Hajime Isayama for the masterpiece you created.

Shinzou wo Sasageyo! Itterasshai Shingeki no Kyojin.

Itterasshai Eren

🕊10/10 Shingeki no Kyojin is a masterpiece

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is depressing and beautiful.

Cyberpunk Edgerunners is an anime set within the cyberpunk 2077 universe, and I just love the combination of the 2.

Story: 9/10
I'll say you don't need to have played Cyberpunk 2077 to enjoy this show, since I loved it even though I didn't finish the game. People who have played the game will just notice small Easter eggs and details, but overall it's still a great watch. Edgerunners' story is fantastic! It has impactful moments, sorrowful moments, funny moments, but most of all it has meaningful moments in the story. The story deals with how the city can change a person's ... life, experiences, relationships, and humanity. In a world where people put cybernetic implants on their bodies, chaos happens, and in this show it's the beautiful type of chaos. In just 10 episodes, this show does a great job setting up its plot and shows some world building. My only problem with this story is that I just wanted more like many people. I would honestly give this a 10 probably if we had more than 10 episodes to explore more of the story, world, characters, and lore behind the Cyberpunk franchise. This show has a beautiful story and a beautiful message, and I can't recommend this enough to viewers.

Art: 10/10
This is probably the best looking anime I have seen in 2022 other than KnY and just watching it is just like candy for my eyes. I love that all the gore and adult visuals are uncensored in this anime, and studio Trigger really went all out and had fun drawing all the gore, sex, and other things that most anime would censor, or most shows would just remove. Cyberpunk is an adult franchise, and I love that even the anime follows through with this. Another thing that is just mind-blowing is the action in the show. The fights look so crazy and cool and still have the wacky signature trigger look to them. I love the addition of small details in the show like the call icon on the corner of the screen just like the game, and also the small details and parallels that some scenes have with each other. I love the lighting in this show since it really makes you immersed in this show. Night city looks brilliant and as beautiful as it looked in the game, and everything looks so similar and stunning. I think studio trigger was the perfect studio to make Edgerunners since they have a unique style that works well with the crazy world that cyberpunk 2077 has. Thank you studio trigger for the amazing animation.

Sound: 10/10
This show's soundtrack broke me. The show's OST doesn't sound or feel like your average OST since they are all bangers and great songs. They had many different genres of music and all of them fit with the scenes very well. Some OSTs remind me of beautiful moments in the show, and a lot of them appear in the game itself. Many songs now will be Iconic as some of the best anime OSTs of 2022. The voice acting is spectacular and both Japanese and English dub are good, although I kinda regret watching it in Japanese since I heard some clips from the English dub and the voice acting is just amazing, plus they actually use words from the cyberpunk universe. 10/10 for the sounds in this show they are all amazing.

Character: 10/10
This show had some of the best characters I've seen in a while. I connected with all of them and grew to love all of them. I think David is one of the best protagonists this year, and he and his character growth in just 10 episodes was fantastic. We have 2 best girls in this show, Lucy and Rebecca, and both are brilliant and great. I like how some characters from the game end up appearing in the show, but I wouldn't expect too much from the game's cast, since this show is set before the game. I loved the relationships between characters, and I think that was the most beautiful thing about this show. It really makes you feel emotions for the characters you love in this show. Great characters!

Enjoyment: 10/10
This has been one of the top shows of 2022 for me so far, and I enjoyed it a bunch! The characters, the music, the artwork, everything made me so happy and depressed when it was all done. I feel kinda empty now that I finished it. Overall, I do think this is studio trigger's best anime, and it's also one of the best anime to come out in recent times.

Thank you, studio trigger,
Thank you, CD Project Red,
Thank you, Cyberpunk Edgerunners.
9/10

The world is cruel, harsh, violent, depressing, yet beautiful.

Vinland Saga is one of those underrated epics that go under the radar, so it's good that more and more people are watching it or reading this amazing story.

Story: 10/10
This is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever experienced, and I loved the writing, the world building, everything. This anime is one that is special, and it tells an amazing tale about grief, violence, revenge, and overall the horrors of war and destruction. This anime never made me bored even during parts that I would normally find boring since they always make it interesting whenever ... you see characters interact, and they showcase more the world. Since this is a history heavy anime, you end up seeing familiar places and what they were like a thousand years ago, and I find that really cool and interesting since they also have real life historical events showcased in the show. Even if some of these things happened in our history, you still get surprised and engaged during tense scenes. The story got better halfway through the show even thought the first half was already amazing, so expect to see more during the second half. This is a brilliant story and I can't wait to see it continued.

Art: 9/10
These big historical seinen manga usually miss when it comes to animation like it's a curse, but the art in this show is amazing, and the fight scenes are epic, although my only problem was the CGI since it was way too obvious, but it was not too bad I just wish it was better. The backgrounds are stunning, though, and the character designs are amazing. In the last few episodes everything was amazing looking from the lighting to the characters, to the detail on their skin, everything looked amazing when it was supposed to. Great art, but not yet perfect.

Sound: 10/10
One of my favorite parts of Vinland Saga is its OST since it always sets the tone and is amazing whenever I hear it. The Openings are bangers (although I preferred the first one) and both EDs are amazing, and I love them both. The music in this show is just epic. The voice acting though is amazing and some of the best I have seen. You feel each character's emotion very well through their voice, and they pick the perfect choices for each voice. Askeladd's voice was my favorite since you could understand what type of character he is when he talks, and he is amazing during drama heavy scenes. Overall great sounds in this show.

Character: 10/10
The best part of this show hands down is the characters, since it has some of the most well written characters in all the anime I have seen. Every character feels human and has their flaws and own beliefs. Some characters start out as horrible people then you end up liking them, then later they remind you about how horrible they are. Some characters spit out dialogue that may seem useless and random, but have huge meaning later in the story. Side characters who may seem irrelevant end up being interesting characters later on, and you end up liking them. And did I not mention that everyone is not good nor bad and everyone feels human. Some characters are also based on real people and some may seem unrealistic turns out feel more human than me while I am writing this review.

What I'm just saying is that every character is perfectly written. 100000/10 for character also, this show has one of the best antagonists in all of fiction.

Enjoyment 10/10
I loved this anime and I thought it wouldn't be anything special, but it proved me wrong. I love this show, I love its characters, I love its music, I love its characters, and I love is story about loss and growing up.

Thank You, Vinland Saga,

9/10 since the animation still was not perfect.

Sayonara Eri made my brain explode, made me cry, and made it into my favorites in just 1 chapter.

Story: 10/10
Sayonara Eri is a very short manga since it's a One Shot, but It's one chapter is worth an entire full manga in my opinion. It feels weird talking about directing in a manga since it's not a show or a movie, but just seeing how everything is put together in it is just amazing. I like a lot the way the camera or the view is shot in each panel it gives it a really special feel. The story had me crying at parts but ... then it surprised me with all the story progression so quickly. This manga made me read a few pages and then realize something about those pages in the following panels. This manga made me laugh at times and it was an amazing read. Tatsuki Fujimoto's writing is S tier in this One Shot, and the guy made 1 chapter worth more than some entire manga. Brilliant story!

Art: 10/10
The art in this manga is just stunning. Every panel is gorgeous with amazing artwork. The character designs are great but not too unique but you can really see Fujimoto's style in making character designs. I'll be honest I have not read much of Fujimoto's writing since I want to see the anime adaptations first, but I read the first volume of chainsaw man and I was blown away by the artwork. It was beautiful the entire volume, but I thought it would be really hard to top what was in that manga, but Sayonara Eri looks gorgeous! Fujimoto's art style has really gotten better with his most recent works and that makes me want to read more of his stuff.

Character: 10/10
I love the characters in this. Even though this is a One Shot therefore its short and just 1 chapter, this manga still made me feel for them and like them as characters. The main character Yuta is a really interesting protagonist and I love his story throughout the chapter. The other characters are well written and also likable. I wish this got a continuation but with the little we got, I would say we still got masterfully crafted characters.

Enjoyment: 10/10
I really enjoyed reading this manga and I'm sure many will too. This manga is great to read in one sitting since it's short and I like how it progresses quickly in some parts. It kept me hooked all the way though and I enjoyed every second I was reading it,

Overall this is a masterpiece and an amazing manga and for 1 chapter I would say this is a must-read.
10/10 what a masterpiece.

Kizumonogatari II: Nekketsu-hen has some of Monogatari's best action.

Spoilers for the first movie since this is a sequel.

Story: 9/10
This movie is more of an action movie, but I still think it's really great nonetheless. Kizumonogatari II serves as a great sequel to the first movie and this one showcases some of the best fight scenes this series has to offer. This has a lot of tense moments in it even for a prequel and It showcases some of the best of Araragi's character.

Art: 10/10
Like I said the action is this movie's strongest, and it does not fail to amaze me during the amazing spectacle ... that is the fight scenes. The movements are smooth and really cool and quick. Without spoiling too much I will say that the gore is amazing, and I'm not some gore-loving person who loves seeing gore but I'll just say that it looks amazing. There are loads of scenes that made me thankful that this is a movie since I don't think a TV show would have the budget to do these fights justice. Sakuga after sakuga, this movie is like candy for your eyes.

Sound: 10/10
The soundtrack to this movie is amazing and I did not think it would get better than the first movie but in my opinion, it did. The nice music playing mixed with the amazing animation make this movie what it is. The voice acting is also amazing, this movie has some of the best voice acting in the series and you could really feel the character's emotions through their voice.

Character: 10/10
The characters got even better in this movie. I don't want to spoil too much but I will say that this movie made me love Hanekawa's character even more and I think she got some of the best development here. Araragi also has significant growth in this movie and I like the relationship that he and Hanekawa have in this movie since it really shows more of their relationship around when they first meet. The 3 main villains in this story are also really interesting when you learn their reason for hunting down Kiss Shot/Shinobu. Overall great characters in this movie.

Enjoyment: 9/10
I really enjoyed this movie and it topped the first one in my opinion. This one really showcased some of the best action and some of the best character growth this series has. I love this movie and it is the perfect sequel to an already fantastic movie. I'm giving this one a 9 just because it was mainly action only and less of anything else but It's still an amazing watch.

9/10 Great movie but the next one is my favorite.

Sonny Boy is a hidden gem that I love.

Story: 8.5/10
Sonny Boy's story is technically an Isekai, but it really feels unique and fresh in this day and age. Before watching this show I would give a warning that it gets pretty confusing at times. The story is the most confusing part of this show, but I would say that it's not unwatchable just because you don't understand some things. I was really confused at times while watching this so It really helped to see discussions of each episode. Aside from confusion, I think this story is really good since we get to see nice interactions ... with our main cast and I love the world-building in this show. Sonny Boy is a really good coming-of-age story and I would highly suggest watching it. Overall 8.5/10 since the story was a bit hard to follow.

Art: 9/10
I love the art in this show since it gives a real nostalgic vibe to it and it's really unique compared to modern anime today. The animation helps with the confusing story of this show and overall I think it is one of the best things to come out of it. The character designs are really nice in my opinion and I like that they are a bit more on the realistic side. The only complaint I have is that we have no visuals for the ED and no OP at all, but I still think Madhouse really did well with the animation on this show!

Sound: 10/10
I think the strongest part of this show for me was the sound production and the music. The music adds to the vibe of the show and gives it more life. Some of the tracks are straight-up bangers, especially the ED which I love, and lots of the insert songs are brilliant also. The voice acting is really good and I like each choice for every character. Overall the sounds in this show are some of the best.

Character: 9/10
I think the characters are lovable and you end up relating to them somewhat. This show really makes you hate a character that is supposed to be hated, and it also makes you attached to our main protagonists. Some characters are really quirky and interesting and I think some of them are just amazing. Great characters but I would have probably given it a 10 if the show let them develop even more.

Enjoyment: 9/10
I really enjoyed this show, although there were times when I got really confused and bored at times, I still think that this is a hidden gem that is really underrated. Every episode made me more and more curious about the story and It kept me hooked most of the time.

Overall I think that this show is really underrated and it deserves some love. It really is something special and uncommon to find
9/10 for a really great show.

I sold my life for ten thousand yen per year also known as Three days of Happiness is a short but beautiful story about cherishing life.

Story: 9
The story taught me to live life to the fullest and to remember that every life has a meaning to it. many chapters in this manga are beautiful and well written for such a short story. I love the message it tells about life and its meaning. I loved the story, especially in the later chapters, but the first few are a bit on the boring side for me but I would still say they are still really good. ... I loved this story and I think it's a must-read that I would recommend since it tells a lot in such few chapters. Great story overall.

Art: 8
I think that the art is good but it's not crazy or insanely beautiful. I really like the character designs and some pages look stunning. Backgrounds are usually more plain looking in most panels but in some, they look really detailed and cool. I think the artist did a really good job at adapting the novel and I like what he's done.

Character: 9
I love the characters in this manga. the MC, Kusunoki, is a great main character who learns throughout the entirety of the manga about the meaning of life and what his life is really worth. My favorite character, Miyagi, is a really well-written character and I ended up learning more about her and loving her as a character. Really good characters in this manga although they would have gotten more development if this was a bit longer, still a great cast overall.

Enjoyment: 9
I really enjoyed this short manga. Even though the beginning was a bit slow and not much happened, I ended up learning a lot from this manga. I have had dark times in my life where I have thought that my life is going nowhere and I really have no value, and this manga covers that issue well. I learned so much and I think a perfect lesson/saying that I can get from this manga is that "No life is truly worthless".

Overall, I love this manga and It will forever be one of my favorites of all time.
9 - 9.5/10 Great read! I would love to see an anime movie of this!

Kizumonogatari I Tekketsu-hen is an amazing introduction to the trilogy.

Story: 9/10
The story in this movie is great but I wouldn't say it's the best of the whole trilogy, so expect it to get better with each movie. Tekketsu hen is a great introduction to the trilogy and it hooks you in the beginning. I love Oishi Tatsuya's directing in this movie in particular since he changes some scenes from the Light Novel and makes them better in my opinion. Some changes are for visuals and help with the storytelling.

Art: 10/10
I already thought that the normal Monogatari series seasons already had top-tier animation but this ... is a movie so it has to be better! The whole movie looks amazing and the art is just fantastic. The fight scenes in these movies look amazing and the animation is stylized and more detailed than in the regular show. Some CGI is used sometimes but it is barely noticeable and done really well. I love the use of live-action backgrounds in some shots, it makes it look really cool and we get to see more realistic versions of memorable locations. In the art department, I would say that this movie is Outstanding.

Sound: 10/10
I really like the soundtrack of these movies and it's really creative with its song choices. The Voice acting is top tier for this movie and it really makes you view these as real people with real personalities.

Character: 10/10 I love that we get to see the back story of some of our main characters in the series. We get to see the backstory of how these characters became who they are by the start of Bakemonogatari. This trilogy is about these characters and I would say that their handling of them is some of the best I have seen.

Enjoyment: 9/10
I really enjoyed this movie and I love it as an introduction to Kizumonogatari. Although this movie really felt like a setup for the next 2 movies I think by itself it is still really good.

Overall I love this movie but it's not my favorite. 9/10 for a brilliant film.

The Monogatari series is a story that makes you laugh, cry, and hard.

Story: 9
The show has an amazing story and each arc tells an interesting story. This season had the most interesting stories and also it made them more exciting. I loved that they did more crazy things in this season and they really made everything more interesting and it showed a bit more of the world of the Monogatari series. My only complaint which was not that bad in my opinion was that the arcs are not arranged in chronological order so it might get a bit confusing sometimes. I was feeling more tired ... whenever watching this so it was a bit hard for me to pay attention so I recommend not basically switching your brain off for this show. Brilliant story though even though it was a bit confusing.

Art: 10
Monogatari is a really stylized show and the art shows that. The show just pops and uses colors in amazing ways and I love how in this season the animation improved a bit and a lot of the scenes were beautiful. I love the character designs, especially a lot of the girls, and damn there are so many best girls. Some scenes though are on the ecchi side but I still love them and I think they were pretty entertaining. I would definitely recommend this to people who like art and really different-looking shows.

Sound: 9
The sounds in Monogatari are good like always, but I think that the lack of OPs in a lot of the episodes, especially in the later ones, was not preferred in my opinion since one of the arcs did not even have its own OP. The OST is pretty good though and the EDs and OPs are good but I don't think as good as some of the previous ones.
The voice acting in this season was really good though and really good quality, and there are some moments where it really shines.

Character: 10
I think one of the biggest strengths of the Monogatari series is that a lot of its characters are amazing and really interesting, and even side characters can become fan favorites. I love how we got to explore some characters better and a lot of them grew as characters more in this season.

Enjoyment: 9
I loved this series and it is one of my all-time favorites, but I think it got a bit confusing sometimes for my jelly brain that I would be wondering what is going on, but overall I loved my time with the show. The whole Monogatari series is a must-watch for all anime/animation fans

Overall 9/10 I love this anime even though it has some problems.

Kuzu no Honkai may be my new guilty pleasure anime.

Story: 8
This show is the spiciest show I have watched since something like Domestic na Kanojo and I love it. This show is a show about sex and romance and has some sensitive topics but I think it was done really well and also realistic. Many parts of it can feel like a mess though but I still think the story was a very good one.

Art: 10
This show's artstlye and character designs are just amazing. It really captured Yokoyari, Mengo's art really well. I fell in love with her artstyle from reading manga like Oshi ... no Ko and I think lot's of her character designs pop well in both anime and manga. The OP and ED's visuals look stunning also especially the ED in my opinion. Lerche did an Outstanding job with the visuals of this anime and I love how beautiful it looked.

Sound: 10
The sound track of this show is amazing. The OSTs fit the scenes well and some are pretty memorable sounding. The OP by 96neko was really good and captured the feeling of the show really well. Sayuri's ED for this show was just GOD TIER. The ED felt slow at first but then quickly sped up and became really catchy.

Character: 9
I think one of the best things about this show is the characters and how real they feel. They all have a lot of flaws but also have some good sides to them, like real people. Some of them get really good character developement as the show progresses, and it made it really hard for me to just simply like or hate a character.

Enjoyment: 8
I enjoyed this series a lot and have a lot of good things to say about it, but it has its flaws but still an enjoyable show for me.

Overall 8/10 score since I think its pretty underrated and its a guilty pleasure of mine.
