First off, the animation in this was fucking AMAZING... wow. just WOW. the whole time i kept writing notes talking about how good the animation was. it was very skillful, you can tell a lot of love and work went into this movie.
the story was great. EVA is great in general, but i'm not afraid to say that this film is indisputably the single greatest product of the franchise. i've watched the original anime + EoE and I've read the NGE manga. The manga was better than the show then the Rebuilds hit it out of the damn ballpark. I've enjoyed the whole Rebuild series,
...
but this one was the best one!!! I fucking hate Gendo Ikari and that little comparison between him and Shinji at the end of the original anime didn't do much for me. I was like "ok yeah you're still fucking weird..." but in the Rebuilds they made it make much more sense. He actually was noble. I knew there was a way to properly redeem Gendo, among other problems. Any issues/confusions I had pertaining to the series were handled by this wonderful movie. I don't even truly know what to say to express how I feel. It's midnight and I'm a little sleepy but I'm sitting at this computer typing hard as hell because I feel like i HAVE to do this. I only write reviews for series I really loved so I can share my thoughts with other people who have watched it or are considering watching it. Sometimes a review can be the final push to actually watch it.
Everything in this movie was handled perfetly. The animation was fucking crazy... I've always liked animation but the way this movie mixed 2d animation, 3d animation, and at the end live action was so good... I've never seen it done so well before. This was really perfect like there's not a moment where you look at the animation and have something to clock. The character arcs in the rebuilds were great. UGHHH idek how to express myself fr but whatever this movie was so fucking good man i shed tears, not because I was sad, but because it was so good. I felt emotional catharsis because of the sheer perfection of this film. I wish there was an option of rating something an 11. This is the only thing on this site that I'd rate an 11.
i'm already thinking about watching it again... what an amazing end to a beautiful journey

What a phenomenal watch... my GOD
Gurren Lagann was on my to watch list for a long time. What made me finally start watching was a recent Fire Force chapter. Someone on Reddit said it was just like Gurren Lagann and used Simon's famous quote from the final episode: https://www.reddit.com/r/firebrigade/comments/qaodbi/comment/hh4oz3o/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3. I thought the quote was awesome, and I was like "It's finally time for me to pick this up I have GOT to know the context". I started Episode 1 and was hooked right away.
Something I loved about Gurren Lagann was the quotes. Like OMFG how genius... I really enjoyed that aspect. I loved the transformations,
...
I loved the whole thing about spiral energy/fighting spirit. In this series, there are no villains. Everyone is the hero of their own story. There's not a single complaint I can come up with about this series. The music was great, the animation was great, and the characters were great. It showcased multiple perspectives. The major conflicts in Gurren Lagann come down to differences in opinion on how to solve a problem. Everybody thinks their way of doing it is what's best for everyone else. When there is death, we see different manners of greiving. This show is very campy but it's VERY REAL. I think it's so cool it managed to achieve both at the same time. I'm going to end my review now because I could go on and on, but one last thing I want to say is I loved the transformations and fights. Growing up, I was a HUGE Power Rangers fan, and I still am. I was also into Voltron. This show reminded me of them a lot. This is just an amazing show, I don't think you can understand until you watch. If you've been debating watching it or putting it off, this is me TELLING you to watch it.

I'd been meaning to read Beck for a while, and so I finally picked it up Saturday morning (it's 2 AM on Monday, for reference). Boy, am I glad I did! Beck was truly a ride. I was rooting so hard for them and all the characters. They felt so real. I felt everything they felt as if I was living it. This manga was so beautiful. I'm considering watching the anime just for the music scenes. If I don't end up watching it, I'll just find the soundtrack from the anime. I don't know how to express how fulfilling a read Beck was. I
...
can't come up with a single complaint. When I read the final chapter, I was sad, not because something bad happened, but because the journey was over. Not for the characters, but for me. The ending was extremely satisfying. The satisfaction I felt when I finished Beck is the same feeling I got when I finished Flowers of Evil, another (yes, another because Beck is def on the list now) of my favorite manga. I'm so grateful I was able to read Beck. I feel so good!

I've never written a review on MAL before, but I just finished reading Flowers of Evil and it was so good I felt like I had to. Wow, where do I even begin with why I loved this manga so much?
I'm someone who has struggled with depression for a while, and as I read Flowers of Evil, I was expecting it to be similar to Goodnight Punpun, but no it wasn't! Mind you, I thoroughly enjoyed Punpun, but these 2 mangas take very different directions when it came to the ending. It felt so good to read a manga where fucked up people try to
...
figure things out and get better. I know life can suck, I know things dont always get better, and there are barriers to getting better, but I was just so happy to see that although these characters are all fucked up (as everyone is in psychological series lol) they put their best foot forward and tried their hardest. I read about 6 chapters of this manga back in March 2021, then put it on hold bc i wasnt that interested, it was giving me Onani Master Kurosawa vibes. I should've known better based off the manga's fame, but I have a bad habit of spoiling things for myself so I try not to look up manga anymore to get more details on the plot. Today, I saw (on someone's ig story) the festival page where they held hands yelling something along the lines of "die shitheads!" on a stage and I was like "ok that looks interesting, what is it?" i reverse searched the image and when i found out it was from flowers of evil, i decided to get back into it. i was looking for something to read anyways. I binged it in a few hours and I'm so so glad I did! I am a mentally ill person myself and things are still shitty for me now, so I am in no way shaming people who don't turn out like the characters in this manga, I was just very happy to see healing/a path to wellness and stability portrayed in a realistic manner. I could see myself in these characters and their struggles, especially Kasuga. Suffering is a constant in the human experience, but you don't have to suffer forever. Things can be better. You can grow, you can evolve, and move on to better things. There's always something more out there.
Most definitely not recommending this manga (or any media) in lieu of real help if you're struggling with something, but The Flowers of Evil made me feel so much better about life. I can have a future, I can be happy, I can grow! I can't stay stuck on things that will never help me. There's a great big world filled with chances to live ripe for the plucking.
I'm not that great of a writer and it's hard for me to express myself so I don't know if my feelings will reach anyone reading this review, but I just want you guys to know this manga is amazing! It made me feel so happy. Reading manga is my main hobby, and I don't think one has ever made me feel any significant emotion. Flowers of Evil made me feel like I was soaring. The ending is the most satisfying of any piece of media I've ever consumed (ofc I can't remember everything I've ever seen/read, but out of what I can it is most def the best).
Don't read 6 chapters and stop. Keep going, you'll be hooked quickly and next thing you know, it's the final chapter.
Ahhh I love Flowers of Evil so much, thank you Shūzō Oshimi for writing this masterpiece!
