After years of beast wars neo being the most obscure show
Karyuudo Fansubs has brought us both Beast Wars 2 and Beast Wars Neo

now i must warn you if u want to watch this show u must be familiar with the transformers brand or just a fan of the Beast Wars cartoon in order to enjoy this show and you should watch beast wars 2 first to get the general feel of the era that this show takes place in

taking place right after the ending of Beast Wars 2 Big Convoy is assigned to train Break , Longrack , Colada , Stampy , Heinrad and ... to find out where lio convoy is and to find the angolmois energy capsules that has been scattered over the universe after galvatron tried to use the angolmois energy for himself
each episode essentially "oh hey we detected an angolmois capsule signal lets go get it" and then they end up fighting with the destrons/predacons and then around episode 15 they start to kind of do the New Character of the week thing where they try to find the angolmois capsule and run into the New Character that is totally not meant to sell toys or anything formula
although i found this show to be disappointing but it does its job as a sequel to beast wars 2 although the plot, art and sound isnt the best what i liked most was its characters

**Spoilers
Unicron appears in this show thats all i have to say

This anime is highly overrated
for a gambling anime it dosent do its job well
i have watched the first season and thought it was average
kakegurui XX is a mess
you could say that the anime is exactly about gambling but its the thrill and how far people are willing to go just to gamble
but with gambling there should be consequences to pay
kakegurui is essentially
what if we took hot anime girls and made em gamble but then like we never make them pay any consequences and instead they are conveniently full of money to dish out in order to get turned on from gambling ...
the plot is just yumeko wanting to gamble more and more so she can get the thrill no issue there
but even though she does lose she still dosent suffer from it and the next time she wins its repetitive because somehow either way she will lose the fight but win the war
Story 1
Art 10 Artstyle is appealing
Sound 10
Character 3 bland and unrealistic

As a long time transformer fan i can say that this is one of the better shows to watch in the transformer franchise
(this show is a spinoff of beast wars)

this show takes place after "beast wars" and follows the japanese g1 timeline which means that headmasters masterforce and victory and zone are also in this timeline and ignores the season 4 of g1 "Beast Wars 2" is essentially a sequel to beast wars and you can watch this without watching any other transformer show beforehand unless you want to get into transformers you will probably not know what a "Cybertron" or "Destron" is despite ... having maximal and predacon symbols
Essentially this takes place in the very far future of beast wars
we follow our maximal crew lead by "Lio Convoy" also known as "Leo Prime" who has the "Convoy" Rank leading a small group of maximals who have pursued Galvatron (Not the g1 galvatron) to Planet Gaia , Galvatron wants to get some Angolmois Energy while the (im going to call them maximals but they are called cybertrons in japan) maximals fight on planet gaia two androids known as moon and artemis watch over them essentially they like give their comments and stuff
although not as dark as beast wars there are some clever jokes in it as well
so lets talk about the artstyle ,
i guess its kinda cartoony? different from the 3d animation used for beast wars but it also reminds me of gundam for some reason
Maximals
Characters Lio convoy is very much like g1 optimus friendly , honorable and a father figure
"Tasmanian kid" whom is a repaint of beast wars snarl is like the "Hot Shot" (referring to armada) of the show kinda reckless sometimes and kiddy
"Bighorn" a hot head because he is a bull.. and he isnt very smart
"Scuba" the calm , cool , clever bot who has a cousin by the name if Ikard
"Diver" a frog im not sure how to put it but his kind of nerdy? in a way
(more characters appear but i dont know if it counts as spoilers if i were to mention them)
Predacons
"Galvatron" i kind of find him alittle bland but he has his ambitions
"Megastorm" Galvatron's brother who looks up to him and hopes to become the next destron emperor and is a complete fool essentially he is like g1 starscream but not a complete douchebag
"Starscream" not the same starscream as the red and blue jet this starscream is loyal and calm with a black and purple colour scheme a repaint of G2 Smokescreen
"BB" Roger is the only thing he says i love him , his a repaint of g2 Dreadwing who also has black and purple for his colour scheme and he listens to every order starscream gives him and turns into a stealth bomber
"Dirge and Thrust" both of them are not the same as the g1 characters but share the same name and also turn into jets constantly competing with starscream and bb for galvatrons praise
i think im finished with this review theres also the "Insectrons" who fled Cybertron in order to find peace from the war
and Sick and tired of the endless wars plaguing Cybertron
overall story 7
theres also the movie and i watched this show twice

The End Of Evangelion
The Best thing Gainax has ever made
taking place after NGE (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
this movie is very artistic in a way , i can some what relate to wanting to not

feel pain or being judged by others

This movie some what goes deep into the lore of evangelion and the scenes

where it goes crazy and stuff also makes uncomfortable
...
because most of the things in it is reality and this movie is a masterpiece

basically Depression if you were to turn it into a anime movie
"Becoming One" is also a very big part of this movie and eva in general
im sure many of us feel this "pain" of social interaction and the fear of rejection and humiliation this movie tries to resolve that with shinji

Evangelion basically sums up reality in an action packed show with characters that who have their own issues and problems to deal with like most people in this world
The overall story might not make much sense
i like this anime mainly because i can relate with Shinji (Protagonist) as an introvert and also i like robots
despite all the hate reviews this anime gets i think you should watch it for yourself and give your own opinion on this show there is alot of symbolism as well
Shinji tries to find reason in life his hopeless and does things because he can
such as piloting eva
Rei ... has trouble finding herself , her trueself she pilots eva because she was told to
Asuka pilots eva for herself to show that she dosent need anyone else in her life to guide her
