I'm making this review after watching the ending through the anime instead of the manga, and my god is it so much better.
It's been 10 years since this masterpiece of a series began, and the journey has been amazing throughout the years. I will admit it, I did switch up for the past 3 years as I was pretty angry with the manga ending, but the anime gave it so much justice. Hearing the voices of my favorite characters, the amazing soundtrack created by Hiroyuki Sawano, the stunning visuals in the many scenes of the special brought back feelings I thought I had forgotten. It's ... like I watched this anime again for the first time.
To talk about the ending, it was phenomenal. Even by changing some lines of the manga, it made the ending much more meaningful. The idea that war is a cycle, and that peace does not last is a profound concept which I didn't even know I was getting into at the start of this journey. The major change I liked the most was that Eren's final wish towards his comrades to keep the peace was extended, to about 20,000 years in the future. It's quite melancholic, that the boy at the end would start the cycle again, but it proves that Eren's will was carried out nonetheless. It was an emotional rollercoaster for sure.
Overall, the ending was phenomenal, I wish I had this feeling at the end of the manga. I will truly miss this series. Thank you Isayama for such a beautiful story.
I recommend the manga readers to watch these final episodes, as it will leave them satisfied, and I recommend new viewers to watch this series in it's entirety as well.

Jujutsu Kaisen is arguably the best "New-Gen" Shounen Jump manga, on par with My Hero Academia and Black Clover. As it stands, it is currently one of the most popular publishing manga, anticipated by many worldwide tuning into each chapter weekly. The popularity has only gone up, as well as the number of manga readers. This is a peak that is different from any other peaks from any animanga I've seen before.
The story of Jujutsu Kaisen follows a teenager named Itadori Yuji, a quirky kid that just happens to be placed into the world of curses. The trials and tribulations faced by Yuji do not ... reflect the typical trials and tribulations shown by previous manga like Naruto and Bleach, but offer something new. After swallowing a finger of Sukuna, King of Curses, he's set to be executed, but has a choice. Die now, or die after finding the remaining 19 fingers. So Yuji decides to study to become a full fledged sorcerer. The world of curses is a world where negative energy has power, and it's Yuji's job as a sorcerer in training to execute the curses.
It's fascinating how much fun is made of Yuji, being seen as a weakling, and even disregarded by fans of Jujutsu Kaisen as well. The point of the manga right now though, shows him in a better light, but the side characters sadly outshine him. Characters like Satoru Gojo, Ryomen Sukuna, Megumi Fushiguro, Toji Fushiguro are held in high regard by the fans, for good reason.
The art is an interesting topic, as it's gotten progressively worse. At the start of the manga, well defined lines and character detailing was present, now it's good, but it's more rough and character details have gotten a lot different.
It's really enjoyable though, I anticipate following chapters like everyone else reading, and it certainly deserves it's spot on the New Gen big three.
So yeah, I would most definitely read.

Hi! I'm new to writing reviews, so bear with me as you read this. I want to have a bigger presence on this site, so I figured writing reviews about stuff I'm reading would be the best way to be seen.

Dreaming Freedom is quite an interesting webtoon that I found myself hooked to, surprisingly. Themes of bullying, obsession, regret all play a huge role in the life of our FL, Jeongmin. Her life is constantly in stress, with the existence of her abusive father, childhood bully, and overall shitty situations that she finds herself in. Lucid dreams are her escape, in which the main story ... stems off of. She enacts her revenge through means of another lucid dreamer, our ML, Siyun. Through their meetings in their dreams, and saving each other through lucid dreaming and eventually meeting each other, it creates a strong bond between the two, creating a strong psychological obsession for each other. The story fully dramatizes obsession, on both characters, and the effects of bullying.

The art has improved a whole lot since the first couple of chapters, Jeongmin and Siyun are truly stunning in their character design. Nothing new, but it's enjoyable.

I'd totally read this if you want a story where you see broken people heal. Where I am right now, they haven't fully gotten to that stage, but it's a story where you want the characters to change for the better. It's a interesting romance for sure.

7/10 because it's good, but it's not a masterpiece of a webtoon. It's a fun read, rather. I would highly consider reading.

This manga is certified trash. The story, the characters, the plot is nothing special. The power system, the plot points are all the same. In the first llke 20 chapters there was a contest/game event already. A character with time manipulation is introduced way too early for a shounen manga. The personalities of the characters are straight copy-paste as well. I can see similar characters from other works in them.

But nonetheless, boobies. Tiddies of all sizes, milkers drawn exceptionally.
(Sad that the artist has to draw for a shitty plot)

Ten out of fucking ten, take my goddamn money.

(Sorry I suck at writing)

Well, I finally pulled up the courage to watch this movie.
I'll keep this review short and sweet.


I had high expectations for this movie. And they were met.
The anime was truly great. It's one of the first movies I ever cried to, so it will hold a big place in my heart.

I highly recommend watching this movie if you liked the anime, or even if you didn't. Maybe you have to know Shoko Makinohara and the character backstories, maybe you don't. I watched this after watching the anime 2-3 years ago.
It's not required to watch the anime in short.

... Even still it's a beautiful story.

10/10


(I'm writing this review on a whim and I can't properly arrange my thoughts, I'm sorry)

Ah, the famous 5-toubun no hanayome.

Review contains spoilers of course, unless you've been spoiled already.


The ending was controversial to say the least. The most underappreciated girl won, somehow. This ending was pretty much just "yeah imma pick the one that has 0 development" and go forward.
The show definitely has the average harem route, with the generic character personalities. You got the "tsundere" which always ends up liking the main character, the dumbass, the snake, and the edgy one. (Itsuki is a combination of all of them really.)
One nice thing about this was the "unique" main ... character. An honest guy, trying to succeed. I like that.
To be honest, the art isn't all that special (it's nice for sure) and neither is the music.
This anime/manga is extremely similar to We Never Learn, (although I don't know which came out first) and I still liked We Never Learn more.
5-toubun had potential for sure, and kudos to the production team for not skipping so many big plot points during production.
But as a whole, (manga/anime) this did flop.
