Frieren Deserves It's Acclaim

Image
  Frieren got a lot of positive reputation recently for being the highest-rated anime of all time in its time of airing during the 2nd cour. This isn’t like your typical boosted score from the season, as it’s 23 episodes in and still has a really high rating, so I started it to see why. Boy, was I blown away by the first episode. I knew Madhouse was a powerhouse of anime, and this anime finally showed the studio’s true colors. Now at first, I thought this anime would have been a generic RPG fantasy world anime, but it’s far from that. An elf that is basically immortal or ages very slowly has a party of humans and a dwarf. A few years to her seems like decades, and she goes through the loss of human life through aging; it’s kind of like Maquia, where it’s about mortality, but as a two-cour length anime. Not hitting hard but keeping the sentiment of what it is to be human with beautiful visuals, sound, and animation, with an ending song that hits you right in the heart as well. It ju...

 Uramichi Oniisan Now that it's the new year, have you ever had worries about the future? Well, why not watch an anime that pokes fun at life and the troubles of growing old  Have you ever wanted to be honest at work and say anything on your mind? Have you ever not felt a hundred percent and want to tell everyone how you feel? Well, this anime called Uramichi Oniisan is about Uramichi Omota and the other adults who work with children on a television show where they entertain them and give advice. However, Uramichi goes on tangents about his depressive thoughts, which is done in a way that makes it into surreal humour and flips it so suddenly which makes it extremely hilarious. One day while bored out of my mind, I came across this anime from an instagram reel of the voice actor just genuinely dying of laughter, and they left it in; which made me want to watch this. It goes to show that this anime is a fun watch because the voice actors were just messing around and having a gen...

When the Villian was Right | Collab

Image
 This blog will be about the most interesting parts of anime, villains. In the industry the villains always seem to be more interesting than the heroes in most cases, as I feel that more thought is actually put into them and love from the creator. It’s why series like naruto or hunter x hunter, the villain seem better as a character than the others. Well, all my villain fans, you are in luck as I have gotten me and my friends to talk about antagonists or villains that could be good and were right all along. This is a special collab that we have worked hard on, so please like this post, read and maybe comment you thoughts By Mike Lee Shoya Ishida Shoya Ishida (Silent Voice) at the beginning of the manga is shown to be a little boy who is extremely bored. He sees boredom as his enemy and wishes to conquer it. At school, he is a popular yet feisty kid. Upon the arrival of the deaf child, Shouko Nishimiya, Shoya thinks she is a burden to the class and his classmates. She repeatedly rai...

Gendo Ikari

The villain I will be talking about is a character that would be evil in nearly everyone’s eyes when they watch this anime, this anime being Neon Genesis Evangelion. Shinji’s dad or Gendo Ikari, as much as he was neglectable to his son, his actions make more sense when you actually finally understand the lore of Neon Genesis. A man who is so head-strung in his own wishes that he puts a bunch of kids through abuse may be evil to everyone but I think what his plan involved outweighed these small details for the benefits of humanity. Where he also wanted to be with his wife again as he made Rei from Lilith and his wife, in the end of evangelion he tries to merge himself with Rei/Yui and gets denied and admits he was afraid to confront his son. Gendo went through the trauma of his loss and his job, he became bad with people because of his focus on reconnecting with his wife, in the end I feel like he actually woke up from Rei rejecting him. In the end he wanted forgiveness and ...

Dusk Maiden of Amnesia

Image
Are you tired of watching paranormal and the paranormal isn’t paranormalling? A lot of anime out there that are of the genre paranormal or mystery fail to live up to the expectations you’d hope for the tags, however there’s one anime out there that’s super unappreciated that does paranormal and mystery perfectly. That anime’s name is called “Dusk Maiden of Amnesia”. The story follows a group of students in what looks to be an abandoned school in a paranormal club because usually there’s no students other than them. Then one day a girl joins them but can only be seen by Niiya, where paranormal things happen upon the dusk maiden joining them. The anime has amazing story telling where it portrays the suspense and mystery amazingly, with the dark visuals that really put the setting perfectly even though it’s now kind of old; it’s still one of the anime that stood out to me till this day. Yuuko Kanoe, the dusk maiden who is a ghost stuck in the school, helps the group solve the ...
