Theres few mangas that have got me hooked so fast. I watched the 2020 anime first and i was in love with just the whole thing but i felt like it was missing alot especially about hanako so i picked up the manga.
Fast forward to like 2024 this hands down one of the best stories i have read, the first few arcs are lovely and just wholesome with some good story telling but the dark twisted lore only gets deeper in the future arcs. I Think we havnt even seen what the mangaka has in store yet and im already scared. ... this manga has made me laugh and cry and feel sick to my stomach at times, its such a perfect blend of dark comedy and romance (hananene being canon was one of the best things ever). The mangaka knows how to build a story and how to write characters. Tsukasa and amanes story is so twisted and we still havnt seen amanes pov of it, also seeing the picture perfect arc and the development of the characters after that arc was so amazing.
Overall im gonna stop ranting and gonan say if u like mangas with good story and amazing art read this. the art will blow your mind every panel is gorgeous and the chars are adorable. The story is slow to build up but i think every arc sets uo the next so beautifully. you will not regret reading this one

i only write reviews for shows or mangas I feel really strongly about and this one was long over due! This review might be biased and I'm not great at writing a structured review but I will give my honest opinion,
MAKE THIS MANGA POPULAR PLEASE! GIVE IT A CHANCE
.
The story revolves around atsushi an orphan who meets some unusual people with supernatural abilities called the armed detective agency. It may start off as your typical thriller supernatural manga but it gets better!
one of my favourite things about this manga is the characterization! I have seen a lot of shows and very rarely do ... I see character building of this level. BSD makes you love and care for characters who aren't the "main characters". Its also interesting to note how every character is based off an actual author/poet figure. most of their character design and even their relationships are inspired by the actual author. For eg. the most popular arc in the show is the dark era, without giving too much away the friendship between dazai, odasaku and ango is actually inspired by a real life. Its clear to see how much detail has gone into the series and the characters.
Not just that, even the side characters such as chuuya nakahara or tachihara who seem not so important to the main plot are used in such an amazing way. The light novels also provide so much depth into the lives and the characters. It doesn't come off as cheesy or cliche and the current arc - the decay of the angels arc is one of the best I have read. Its insane how well this manga is written but its so underrated.
The art style is also gorgeous in my opinion I think the action sequence and the characters are drawn really well.
i picked up the anime by chance and then the manga and it instantly became one of my favourite series of all time. PLEASE GIVE THIS MANGA A CHANCE YOU WILL NOT REGRET! there's action, emotions, humour, pain, love...its all there. The bonds between the characters are so well written it really makes you feel for them.
I may be biased but I cant recommend bungou stray dogs enough

story - 10/10
art - 9/10

the best thing about this movie is the song at the credits
(this review has spoilers!)

I rarely write reviews so ill keep this short but seriously don't watch this movie. It's rare that I watch an anime that pisses me off so much that I have to fast-forward bits, this managed to do that.
I started this with high hopes coz I heard the song by DAOKO and kenshi yonezu, and also saw miyano mamoru in the cast. I was very excited but as the movie unfolded I realized this is like one of those john green books but worse.
Firstly the whole argument in the movie ... was "are fireworks flat or round" which I thought at first must be like a joke or a small convo...but the fact they used that to determine important aspects of the movie pissed me off.
The main female lead's whole reason to run away was that her mom was remarrying and she had to move away. It is a crappy situation but the fact they made her whole personality that was just wrong...as the movie went on i hated her more and more. Its the most basic and lazy character writing istg.
Also, the whole time travel thing makes 0 sense, there is no explanation apart from the fact he threw the thing...I cant understand how or why anything happened.
Why did the other dude stand her up?
why is the mc such an idiot?
why do the other characters have 0 personalities?
wtf is the ball thing they throw?
why does he manage to go back in time even when he doesn't throw the ball?
why does the mc even care so much?
wtf happened in the end? she moved away, but where did he go? did they run away?
the movie left me with more questions and no conclusion at all

spare yourself don't watch this movie.
that being said definitely listen to the song fireworks by DAOKO and kenshi yonezu.

to be honest i was gonna wait until im caught up to write a review but I just finished marineford and I really cant not talk about it! My reviews are usually straight to the point and I don't analyse the story or anything too much so I will try not to give spoilers so feel free to read this if you are unsure about weather or not to start one piece.

Now I know there are many views on this show but from my experience 90% or even more of the people who have actually seen one piece, love it! i have had people ... stop half way or stuff but everyone I have asked who has seen it say they enjoyed the show or are enjoying the show even now. Its why I started watching it 4 months ago.
i have also heard from people who know nothing about one piece as to how bad it is? or people who watched like couple episodes and dropped it, don't listen to them like at all.

I am trying not to be biased here but one piece has become my all time favourite anime in a matter of 4 months! Its more than an anime for me at this point because the way i see it is that I'm not watching an anime but on a journey with these guys. I never gave a fuck about world building and always focused on character building however...ONE PIECE DOES BOTH SO WELL!
so what if its long? HECK I DONT WANT IT TO END!
oda is one of the best writers of this generation because of how wonderfully one piece is crafted.
The show comes off as if its for kids but its so much more, the themes of politics, justice, slavery, corruption, good, evil...its all there. its done in a way where you yourself look at it and are in shock as to how easy it is to potray these things in a way that doesn't come off preacy or cringy.
It took me till the marineford arc to realise how i have been sucked into this world because of the world building and like it all comes together so well especially in this arc.

I wont make this too long but characters i have to talk about. Many people tell me they don't like the design especially in the older arcs to which i say...fair. When i first watched one piece i personally loved the art style but i know some people may not but that should not stop you from appreciating the DEPTH EACH AND EVERY CHARACTER HAS!. i am going to ignore the fillers and anime canon and talk about the canon episodes ofc that is written by oda. EVERY CHARACTER even like the side characters provide so much depth not to the main characters but to the island or the world itself. I
So many things in the first arc are still relevant later on. But it doesn't seem repetitive at least to me it just works. ALSO LUFFY! the best mc in an anime i have ever seen like...i honestly cant explain it in words but fluffy has every quality of an mc at the right amount where he doesn't come off as fake but someone real after a certain point.
i think even the people in the anime are at first like "whos this dumb kid" but every person and i mean everyone he interacts with or whoever sees him in actions, grows to respect him because he has the qualities of a captain and a great anime mc.

I really have so many things i can talk about but i don't want to make this long so i will just say please give one piece a try. this anime is not over rate or over hyped it deserves every single praise it gets because every part of this anime (except for the pacing lol that i agree but you have to push through taht) is flawless.
I watched one piece one day coz i was like eh why do people like it so much, i cant judge it without watching it and here i am almost half way...part of the strawhats for life!

i rarely write reviews but i have to for this anime because I do not understand why this has such low ratings, like this is such an underrated anime.
This has to be one of my favourite horror animes and its so well done because the concept at least to me was so different. It was the setting of this building and the bond between zach and rachel that really sold this for me. Its not some out of the world amazing new concept but it felt fresh due to the characters being so different than each other.
I have played the game for angels of ... death and its one of my favourite rpg maker horror games ever...and I watched the anime after playing so I may be a bit biased because when I played the game the anime wasn't out. This anime is such a perfect adaption to the game, usually game to anime adaptations are crap. Its very hard to adapt games especially rpg which rely so much on interaction but this anime really did it so perfectly and I'm sad it doesn't get the credit it deserves.

This anime isn't generic scary that relies on jump scares and gore, its got a very psychological aspect and u feel for the characters because the stories are just nicely adapted. Its a very great watch and I strongly recommend going into it with an open mind.

i just finished this anime and as a shonen fan, this has to be one of the best shone i have seen. I will keep this brief and to the point.

HxH has some of the best arcs and fighting scenes and impeccable writing. Wjat draws me in is the focus it has on character development and how well it does. I am very picky when it comes to it and if I see lazy char development I get annoyed but in HXH its damn well done.
Ofc gon and killua are strong MCs but its not that they get strong suddenly, you see the effect ... the training and the fights have on them, they are also not the strongest characters in the anime even by the end and it just shows how much this show has left to offer (holding hopes that it comes back).

Secondly the arcs are amazing, it starts off like ur regular shonen and it develops at a great pace, but the way hxh takes issues from IRL and makes it work.Im glad they chose gon and killua two adorable 12yr olds as mc's coz its such a big contrast to the shit that goes down, AND U JUST WANNA ROOT FOR THESE TWO ;-;

thirdly the characters oh my god literally I did not expect to be crying when the show ended or when gon and killua said goodbye. LIKE I WANT MORE OR ATLEAST I WANTED THEM TO STAY TOGETHER. their duo is one of the best I have seen and I love character duos like this. Its such a pure relationship ;-; i love everything about these two and they are prolly my two fav mc's in a shonen. THEN THE VILLAISN OH MY GOD THE VILLAISN ARE SO WELL WRITTEN. ITS NOT THE SIMPLE "let's create sympathy for this evil guy" ITS SO MUCH MORE COMPLEX. the characters feel like real humans like despite the power gon, killua, hisoka, illumi, meruem..like all the characters good or bad act like humans so its so gray (except maybe hisoka and illumi lmao) like u cant just judge them easily. ITS SO WELL CRAFTED

lastlyyy i need to say this and this is one of my fav things about this anime...NO FILLERS. this anime doesn't waste time, like every character had a purpose and every arc led to the development of the mc's. There were arcs lighter than some but they all mattered and I LOVED IT SO MUCH. fillers can be soooo annoying esp if not done right (ahem ahem) BUT THIS ANIME IS JUST...IT MADE ME SO HAPPY FROM START TO FINISH
.
BASICALLY
GO
WATCH
HUNTER X HUNTER
like if u are a fan of shonen like me and u haven't seen this, ur missing out.

i dont usually write reviews but i gotta for this ;-; i cant really write without spoiling but man did this make me cry.
the bond they shared was so pure and genuine and everything was just so true, gin who had never spent time with another human falls for hotaru, at first it was just a pure friendship that grew into love.
(spoilers)
I broke down at the end, the way the message was to move on, it was such a powerful message I feel like. Gin loved her so much he was ready to die just to touch her once, and also to let her ... live. I wish he realised that she wouldn't want it any other way except with him :(
As someone who lives for happy endings and romances i can tell my heart broke in pieces, still one of the purest love stories i ever seen, and a damn good movie.

of course i started this show off as a joke and of course I am continuing it coz the dub is hilarious, its worth a watch xD but lowkey i wanna watch the sub version too, maybe its just me but I ended up actually enjoying the story, like its a pretty decent enjoyable horror anime.
Not scary but its fun to watch!! the dub does make it better and ya I wouldn't have watched it otherwise but if u wanna watch it for the story, try the sub xD more serious (its still funny at times dw).
.
overall to be honest the memes are ... great and I think the dubbers did a great job like, Its a masterpiece lmaoo best (worst) dubbed anime.
i never willingly watch dubs but this is just an exception ahha

for real its been a while since I have gotten so into a shonen, I binged the whole manga (well whatever out right now), and I still cant get enough. I think if the anime keeos up the gud work it may end up being of the great shonen out there alongside the top ones
.
the story is so well crafted but more than that its the characters, the design is great but every character ha so much depth and even with the over power characters they are just done so well, u cant not love them.
also the humour is top class, a shonen ... with such gud humour that makes me laugh out loud is rare!!
