From the very first episode, the show manages to capture the audience's attention with its unique post-apocalyptic setting and relatable characters.

One of the standout aspects of Doomsday with My Dog is the relationship between the main character, Master, and her faithful companion, Haru-san. Haru-san is not just a pet; he is a loyal friend and an essential member of Master's survival team. The show beautifully portrays the bond between Master and Haru-san and their unwavering determination ... to stay together, no matter what challenges come their way and the uses of funny segments on what happens along the journey through a post-apocalyptic world.
Another impressive aspect of Doomsday with My Dog is the animation art style looking very manga-eques like. The show's artwork is stunning, with beautiful backgrounds and strange campions Master finds in her journey. The animation is fluid as the only thing is moving is the mouth going up and down for 90% of the time but that's what gives doomsday with my dog its vibe, keeping the audience engaged throughout.
The story of Doomsday with My Dog is also compelling. It does an excellent job of balancing the emotional and action-packed moments, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.

"Toriko" is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro. The story follows the adventures of a powerful and skilled Gourmet Hunter named Toriko, who travels the world in search of rare and exotic ingredients to complete the ultimate full-course meal. Along the way, he teams up with other Gourmet Hunters and battles against dangerous beasts and rival hunters to obtain the ingredients he desires.

Music:

The audio aspect of the anime is only average. The voice acting is considered to be good, as it effectively ... conveys the emotions and actions of the characters but the only emotion for like 90% of the anime is hunger and the other 10% is the power of friendship and the friends we made along the way. However, the music is not considered exceptional, meaning it doesn't stand out as particularly memorable. Despite this, it still fits the overall mood and atmosphere of the anime and does not feel out of place. The music serves its purpose, but it is not exceptional enough to leave a lasting impression on the listener. "Guts Guts!!" is the first opening theme for the "Toriko" anime series, which was released in 2011. The song was performed by the Japanese rock band The Little Fight and was well-received by fans of the anime for its upbeat and energetic nature. The song's lyrics and instrumental arrangement fit well with the action-packed and high-stakes moments of the series. However, as with any piece of music or entertainment, opinions on "Guts Guts!!" can vary greatly from person to person. I feel that it is subpar compared to other anime opening songs, and doesn’t really stand out as a piece of music. Ultimately, whether "Guts Guts!!" is considered subpar or not is a matter of personal opinion and subjective interpretation, but listening to the same opening for 99 episodes in a row will start to take a toll on anyone and so the director (Zako, Akifumi) Should have spiced it up a bit like every 25 episodes or new arc a new opening song to keep the viewers in. Then you have the second opening "Go Shock My Way!” that lasts all the way up to the last episode. It’s just a dime-a-dozen Shounen music nothing to really get excited about. But still a step up from the first opening. On the other hand, you have anime’s ending songs such as Satisfaction by F.T. Island and Sabrina by Leo Ieiri, the music is widely regarded as one of the strengths of the series. The soundtrack is composed of upbeat, adventurous themes that perfectly match the series' action-packed and fantastical storyline. The music effectively creates a sense of excitement and energy, enhancing the viewing experience for fans. The ending themes are especially popular, known for their catchy melodies and energetic vibes. Overall, the music in Toriko is a major factor in the series' appeal, contributing to its immersive and enjoyable atmosphere. But the rest of the endings are feeling rather inferior compared to the other two songs.


The Characters and enjoyment:

The characters in Toriko are not the strongest aspect of the series. But do look very distinctive while many of the characters follow typical anime cliches, there are some standout characters who are more unique such as the bee woman. One positive aspect of the characters is that they are all older, which is a conscious decision made because they often consume alcoholic beverages. However, this aspect is not fully explored or utilized in a meaningful way, and the characters do not differ significantly from other younger shounen heroes. The main character, Toriko, is likeable, but his partner Komatsu provides what Toriko lacks. Toriko's friends Zebra, Sunny and Coco are notable for their impressive powers. The anime tries to avoid the common trope of having an overpowered main character who stands alone against the enemy but fails just like most. Additionally, Half of the cool-looking characters in Gourmet Corp and IGO get seen for like a collective totally screen time of like 44 seconds and also you never get to see that big fight against each other and just them watching the two bosses fight it out for what is also just a 30-second fight out most with dialogue and the camera panning backwards and forwards. In summary, the anime struggles to keep a character on screen for more than half a second. Some other detail of the relationships would be cool if the characters drive the narrative forward, creating a sense of unity and camaraderie among the cast. This dynamic helps to create an enjoyable viewing experience and adds to the overall appeal of the series. Furthermore, the mature age of the characters sets them apart from other shounen anime and adds a level of maturity to the story. This, combined with the well-balanced humour of the main character face’s looking as if Satan did some funky time with a pillow, helps to create a more dynamic and believable world. But it is really hard to Immerse oneself in a show. This can be challenging for a variety of reasons. Some common reasons that show up once in a while in the anime are why it can be difficult to fully engage with a show include. Poor writing or storytelling - If the story is poorly written, with plot holes, predictable twists, or inconsistent characters, it can be difficult to get fully invested in the world of the show. As the fight gets sloppy after episode 100 and also the final battle was mediocre at best. The lack of character development in 147 episodes is rather impressive - the characters are one-dimensional; it can be hard to form a connection with them and become invested in their journey or try and somewhat be in their show/relate to them. Unsatisfying ending - the ending of the show feels rushed, unsatisfying, or leaves loose ends, it can detract from the overall experience and make it difficult to immerse oneself in the world of the show and this show does just leave many loose ends it just a joke at this point. Disconnection with the genre or subject matter - the show does not align with the viewer's interests or personal tastes; it can be challenging to fully engage with it and well to be fair my taste doesn’t really line with strong man-eat yes. It needs to have more depth than just eat yum yum, I don’t know what I’ll do but just add a bit of the flavour to it as for it being +100 episodes. Technical difficulties - the show has poor sound and visual quality, and if there are disruptions to the viewing experience, it can be difficult to fully immerse oneself in the world of the show. These are just some of the many reasons why it can be hard to immerse oneself in a show such as Toriko. The level of immersion will vary from person to person, as everyone has their own preferences and expectations but for me, this is just more of a chore to watch than really enjoying what it has to offer. But something that is just funny to see is the main character straight up just has 100 trump cards that you will never see use again. Such a boomerang fork.



Art:

Well, the art style in Toriko is not a masterpiece but still is rather bright, colourful and very vibrant how has I said before the fluidity of the anime drops off after episode 100 as if half of the artist just straight up disappeared. The art style of an anime is a crucial aspect of visual storytelling and can greatly impact the viewing experience. If the art style becomes sloppy or inconsistent, it can have a domino effect on the overall quality of the anime and make it harder to watch. Distractions from the story such as Poorly drawn characters or backgrounds or monsters can take the viewer's attention away from the story, making it harder to focus on the events and characters. As some of the backgrounds just go up into one blob of colour an example would be the bubble path just becoming pink with a couple of brush strokes making a curve once in a while. The monsters are half reskins with a splash of orange green or white especially The GT robots. The lack of visual interest - A well-done art style can greatly enhance the visual appeal of the anime and make it more enjoyable to watch. When the art style becomes sloppy or unattractive, it can detract from the viewing experience. The inconsistent world building - A consistent art style helps to build and maintain the world of the anime. If the art style becomes inconsistent, it can break the illusion of the world and make it harder to immerse oneself in the story. With having a whole arc in one area to never be seen or mentioned again by any of the characters. The reduced emotional impact - Art style plays a crucial role in conveying emotions and setting the tone of the story. If the art style becomes sloppy, it can reduce the emotional impact of key moments in the story moments, making it harder to connect with the characters and the events of the story that are taking place. In conclusion, the art style of the anime is an important aspect of the viewing experience and can greatly impact the overall quality of the anime. If the art style becomes sloppy, it can have a domino effect on the other elements of the show, making it harder to watch and enjoy a great example of this would be Toriko lol.

Overall summary:

Well to sum this up Toriko is a Japanese anime that falls under the shounen genre and follows the journey of the titular character, Toriko, as he travels the world in search of rare and delicious ingredients to complete his full course menu, which he never completes and never mentioned after episode 100. The animation and art style of Toriko is visually appealing, with vibrant character designs and backgrounds but drop off after a bit. The animation also handles the action scenes as a PowerPoint slide when the budget is gone for the episode, making them disingenuous to watch. However, some viewers may find the art style to be inconsistent at times, detracting from the overall viewing experience. The voice acting in Toriko is subpar, with the voice actors trying to bring their characters to life with their performances. The music fits the general mood of the anime, but it may not be exceptional enough to be memorable. In terms of characters, Toriko features a mix of typical shounen clichés and some more unique and peculiar characters that are seen for 30 seconds. The main character, Toriko, is a likeable lead if you have the brain of a cactus, and his partnership with Komatsu adds an extra layer of plot armour to the story with him getting stabbed twice and surviving both times and forgetting it happened in the next scene. The anime also avoids the trope of an overpowered main character but fails, with other characters such as Sunny and Coco shining in terms of power. In conclusion, Toriko is a dime-a-dozen shounen anime with subpar action scenes, well-done voice acting if you are deaf, and a mix of typical and unique one-time characters. While the art style may be inconsistent all the time, it does detract from the overall enjoyment of the anime as the plot is about as exciting as sandpaper grinding your forehead. Suppose you're a fan of shounen anime or enjoy action and adventure stories. In that case, Toriko is definitely worth checking out if you want to have nightmares and feel like being tortured by the Taliban on a Friday afternoon. 4/10 would not watch it again unless I want to lose half of my brain cells.

The anime Record of Ragnarok season 1 presents a unique and intriguing premise - gods and goddesses from various mythologies gather to decide the fate of humanity through a series of battles. The animation is visually stunning, with detailed character designs and dynamic fight scenes.

However, the pacing of the series can be slow at times and the dialogue can be overly exposition-heavy, particularly in the first few episodes. Additionally, some of the battles feel weak with every character having a signature move/trump card ability that is useless in 30 seconds because the opponent uses their second signature move/trump card ability then repeats this ... a couple of times and the victor is shown also lacking the emotional weight they could have had.

The characterization of the deities is also mixed - while some are fleshed out and given interesting motivations, others feel underdeveloped and one-dimensional.

furthermore, the series raises some thought-provoking questions about the nature of gods and humanity, but it often feels like it could delve deeper into these themes. The relationship between the human representative, Bjorn and his opponent, Thor is one of the most interesting aspects of the series, as it explores the different perspectives and belief systems of humans and gods. But also patronise the viewer in acting that some characters need a back story such as Adam.

On the downside, the series relies heavily on tropes and cliches common in shounen anime, and some of the characters and their abilities can feel overpowered and convenient to the plot.

In conclusion, Record of Ragnarok season 1 is a mixed bag of pros and cons. It has a great premise and beautiful animation but the pacing and the writing could be improved and falls short in execution at times. It is worth watching for fans of fantasy, action and mythology but it may not be for everyone. 5/10.

Well Blood-C: The Last Dark is a strange one for sure lol. This is because it is a thrilling and intense anime film that is sure to keep viewers watching. The story is set in a dystopian world where humans and supernatural creatures coexist, and follows a teenage girl named Saya who is trained to fight these creatures. The animation is top-notch exceptionally that monster is on a whole new level. And the fight scenes are well-choreographed and visually stunning.

Also, the film's credits song is a banger, as it is a nice close-off for the movie. The music is a great combination ... of electronic and orchestral elements that perfectly accompanies the action and "emotional scenes".

One of the strong points of the film is the exploration of the main protagonist's internal conflicts, as she struggles with her duty as a protector and her own humanity. This adds a layer of complexity to the story and makes the audience question the morality of the actions taken by the characters.

On the other hand, some may find the pacing of the film to be slow at times, as it takes time to build up the story and reveal certain plot points. Additionally, you wouldn't understand a lot of this movie if you have not also watched the other blood-C related stuff in the franchise. The story is convoluted and difficult to follow at some times, The characters are not well-developed (except for the main character.) But the movie does have like one twist that keeps things interesting for abit. The film also deals with mature themes such as violence and sacrifice.

Additionally, the film is extremely violent and graphic, which may not be suitable for all viewers. The mature themes and dark tone may be off-putting for some and may feel like an edgelord movie at some parts (Kinda is lol), and the pacing can be slow at times.
Furthermore, the ending of the movie is unsatisfying and leaves the audience with more questions than answers. It can be considered unclear and abrupt, leaving the audience disappointed with the lack of resolution and closure.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a well-written, coherent story with well-developed characters and a satisfying ending, "Blood-C: The Last Dark" is not the movie for you. This anime is suitable for a specific audience who is interested in a darker and more mature anime film with a high tolerance for violence and gore.

Black Lagoon Omake is a spin-off of the popular anime series Black Lagoon. The Omake episodes are short, comedic skits that take place outside of the main story arc. As a fan of the original series, I had mixed feelings about the Omake episodes.

On one hand, the comedic elements were a welcome change of pace from the intense action and violence of the main series. The Omake episodes provide a nice break from the seriousness of the main story and offer a different look into the characters. The animation and character designs are consistent with the main series and the voice acting is ... top-notch as usual.

On the other hand, the Omake episodes feel somewhat just something from the main series. The skits are often nonsensical and don't add much to the overall Black Lagoon universe. Also, the episodes rely heavily on slapstick comedy and it can be hit or miss.

In conclusion, Black Lagoon Omake is a decent addition to the Black Lagoon franchise. It offers a comedic change of pace and a different look into the characters, but the humour can be hit or miss. If you're a fan of the main series, you might find it amusing, but it's not essential viewing and will not be missing out in anything if you don't watch it aswell. 5/10.

Batman: Gotham Knight is a mixed bag. While the animation style is visually striking, the stories in the anthology film are hit-or-miss. Some segments are engaging and well-written, while others feel underdeveloped and lacklustre. The voice acting is solid, but the overall experience is underwhelming. It's worth a watch for die-hard Batman fans, but it's not a must-see for general audiences.
The film's anthology format allows for a variety of different styles and perspectives, which is both a strength and a weakness. On one hand, it keeps the film fresh and allows for different takes on the iconic character of Batman. On the other ... hand, it makes the film feel disjointed and uneven.

Some of the segments stand out, such as the one directed by Shojiro Nishimi, which features a unique animation style and a tense and thrilling story. However, other segments fall flat, such as the one directed by Futoshi Higashide, which feels poorly written and rushed.

The voice acting is good overall, with Kevin Conroy reprising his role as Batman. However, the film's soundtrack is forgettable and doesn't add much to the overall experience.

In conclusion, Batman: Gotham Knight is a decent watch for fans of the character, but it's not the best representation of the Dark Knight. It has its moments, but it also has its shortcomings.

Additionally, the film's anthology format is not without its drawbacks. It can be jarring to jump from one story to another and not all stories are equally strong, making it difficult to fully invest in any one of them. Furthermore, some of the segments feel disconnected from the overall Batman universe and lack the depth and complexity that the character is known for.

The film's animation is impressive and the character designs are faithful to the comics. However, the animation quality varies between segments and is not consistent throughout the film.

In summary, Batman: Gotham Knight has its good points, but it also has its fair share of flaws. The animation is visually striking, and the voice acting is solid, but the storytelling and overall cohesiveness of the film are lacking. If you're a fan of Batman and anime, it's worth a watch, but don't expect a masterpiece. It is just there. 3/10.

Okay someone told me to start doing reviews so I am lol.
Ninja Batman is an anime movie that takes place in feudal Japan, where Batman and his allies are transported through time by Gorilla Grodd's time displacement machine, where they have to face off against Joker and his army of villains who have taken over feudal Japan.

Well, Ninja Batman is a visually impressive film with high-energy action sequences and a unique blend of ninja and superhero elements. The animation is top-notch and the character designs are striking. However, the story is somewhat convoluted and the pacing is uneven. The characters are likeable but not particularly ... well-developed. Overall, it's an entertaining watch with some flaws, but fans of the genre will likely enjoy it. some people may not like it because of the CGI but so will aswell lol.

Additionally, the film explores themes of power, corruption and redemption which adds depth to the story but not too deep because 5 seconds later it is thrown out of the window and Batman is super big made out of monkeys and bats and fighting the Joker in his power ranger Megazord composed from the villains he is "working with".But aside from that the soundtrack is also noteworthy, adding to the overall atmosphere of the film. However, some viewers may find the fight scenes to be repetitive and the humour in the film may not appeal to everyone with some jokes straight not just being funny. Despite these drawbacks, the film still offers a thrilling and exciting experience for viewers who enjoy action-packed anime movies and just want to see Batman and the Joker fight hilariously in Japan. Overall, Ninja Batman is a solid 7/10 and a good choice for fans of the genre. But I'd still not recommend this to everyone but if you feel like you'd like is just watch it lol.
