Your Name is a type of art that would be seen in virtual reality where you cannot help but be mesmerized for how real the animation looks. It is amazing it recognize the quality of graphics done very professionally, even in the texturing of every color, since there is visible attention to each leaf and plant color. In any event, due to its animation, be it of modern Tokyo or a picturesque village, the adherence to real natural sciences is such that one feels live each and every shot of it. Makoto Shinkai rarely misses these opportunities in animation and one can easily see the ... amount of care he puts in every shot – from the reflective surfaces to the frail, fluttering sakura. This anime is pretty great in that since it is made up of any number of them throughout, i.e., sleep-killingly pretty.

The tale itself unfolds to be both imaginative and evocative. Taki and Mitsuha, two Japanese high school students hailing from different regions, find themselves in the middle of “Switching” phenomenon abruptly. While the beginning of the operation is “light and beautiful,” as they said, the readers will notice much tension in the continuation of the story, touching upon the theme of love again. In the first half of the film, the relationship between the two characters is filled in with a generally charming enactment of romantic feelings, whereas in the second half it is a course of fierce action. Trap and confinement exceed in the second half; thus it becomes a ‘Mission Impossible’ where time is a factor.

However, in spite of its appeal, the story is riddled with gaps. Body sharing combined with time travel is a subject that brings about a lot of disorder especially for a storyline that is happening in multiple occasions. There are sequences that may leave viewers hanging with the plot as the story might seem like an interference with its timelines and this two. There are any scenes as this the story plot might not make sense to everyone and should be analyzed more than one time for appreciation. This complication made it hard for me to empathize with other characters since I was too busy idling and constructing the puzzles of the story.

With this in mind, the movie’s emotional inside is still very dynamic. The beautiful friendship Taki Tohno and Mitsuha are characterized and the management of issues of attachment, destiny and pining are explored appropriately in the movie. It does its best presenting these three major themes even though the storyline gets a bit confusing at some points. The most emotionally appealing parts, particularly when the characters do everything they can to reach each other through time, struck a chord that is difficult to forget in most people’s memories.

The film has an additional plus: RADWIMPS did the soundtrack for it, and the effect was terrific. Such music is in sync not only with the story but creates tension and amazement. The songs also such as ‘ZENZENZENSE’ and ‘Nandemonaiya’ become attached and contribute greatly to the intensity and the sensitivity of very crucial scenes.

I have also read that Your Name is considered one of the greatest anime movies of all time, although it falls below a 9 or 10 in my case just because certain plot points are a little hazy. The story is nice enough, but it would have been more sensible if a more logical development and integration of some of the ridiculous fantasy was considered. But the exquisite animation actually compensates for the few chinks in the armor and provides a never-before-seen esthetic feast.

Your Name, in summary, is a visual and an emotional jewel one cannot afford to miss. Although I might not have connected with the story as much as I had hoped, there is still a penchant for it which is why it is a film that we remember long after watching it. I give it an 8 out of 10 - it is an excellent movie with some hindrance in the story which did not spoil the experience completely.

An anime series called Tokyo Revengers presents an unusual storyline envising a situation where teenage brawlers are mixed with popular science fiction vibes of time travel. The narrative arc surrounds Takemichi Hanagaki, a rather emotionally distant man whose social life becomes unexpectedly better when he’s presented with chances to revisit the history of his friends and save them from the seeds of their own destruction. Even though the storyline is new and amusingly undertaken, there is still a lot of work to be done in the first season in terms of cectable depth.

The beginning of the series is quite engaging when long-inconvenienced Takemichi uses time ... travel as a cheat code to fight for whom he cares, and his regret for the past and will to protect Hinata and prevent the incidents that would eventually happen makes him a very endearing character. Saving the girl you’re interested in is wonderful in itself, but there were a lot of points where his inward nature together with reside in me was not mind Haram feelings could become an issue and tiring. Sure, making a character suitable in a fantasy also includes showing his vulnerabilities. Yet sometimes, it feels like trying too hard and his changing is slower than the way it is supposed to be within the duration of one season.

However, the cast are more vibrant than anyone else in Tokyo Revengers. People like Draken even the ever worthless Mikey are indispensable. Draken is the strong survivor loving his friends and brotherhood, and Mikey is the soft, enticing leader but with a hint of hostility in him, they give a beautiful turn and more life to the narrative. And they being alongside Takemichi is what really hits home in the series taking to a different truth many of the happenings over and enhancing the several action stories and conflicts.

That being said, a specific drawback to the show is the cadence. If the storyline of a particular episode provides some suspense, others are extended unnecessary and seem like a mere repetition of scenes and conflicts. Takemichi’s recurrent fall back to the situations that already happened and are yet again presenting themselves with similar troubles can sometimes plant that the particular set is stuck at one place in time. Some of the episodes are flatout overly heated and full of drama, yet the majority others are either fillers or just drags with no plot progression in any significant way.

From the aspect of the quality of animation, it must be said that it is adequate in all fairness but does not impress in any particular way. Some of the battle scenes come without the necessary energy that would be expected in a gang fighting piece. Conversely, the drawing of the characters is outstanding, expressing perfectly the period’s delinquent character in roughness and resistance. Concerning the music and its additional elements, they are in place and perform their function during the most important episodes, still, they are not striking.

Another strong side of the series is when it combines the personal development of characters with other depicted violent gruesome incidents. The battle that the world is stuck in, that Takemichi is out to salvage a life from, does not only equate to saving of time but an eternity that accomplishes additional meaning; it is availing his own. There is a propensity towards the submissive and the traits are uncharacteristic. This is probably the only thing I criticise rather than the storytelling, even if it is somewhat engaging.

To sum it up, Tokyo Revengers season 1 is a worthwhile investment with scope for improvement, though it does not achieve the objectives it has set for itself. The emotional appeals in the show are well crafted and so is the secondary setting of the story but the primary one of the main character leaves a lot to be desired and it is where the show is wanting. It is a delightful show, more so if you have an interest in time travelling and yakuza stories. Nonetheless, there is a need for prioritisations and more cautious execution as one looks into the upcoming seasons.

I will always have a soft spot for Naruto Shippuden. I practically grew up watching it and let me tell you, it was not just a cartoon for me, it was an a history with many lessons, the formation of those lessons and life as well and then, some very good tips on becoming brave, striving on and most importantly, friendship. Beginning or rather ending with the first episode towards the last one, Naruto Shippuden is absolutely amazing and there is no better way to express this rather highly by fiddling the emotional strings of the die-hard fan.

The centre of this Changing formula is ... in character development, notably in the case of the protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto’s many stages of growth and development would also contain such changes the most important one being the transition from undesirable to stubborn and prominent teen-hero intending to be the Hokage once within his lifetime which was quite well motivating. Easier said than done. It is not merely a physical endurance but also a active resolution to stop difficulties and a battle waged within oneself that in the end makes a person out of the weak boy. Moreover, he seeks for reasons to walk the path he has never stepped before, awakes at the sit of turmoil and the heat of the matter sort of thing, and anger towards the external enemy gets repressed— a fact for which there is no room in the epic, and all these qualities do not let the reader forget the character of that boy.

Furthermore, the show explores these characters and their bonds further like every other shounen anime or manga does, each with their own story. These three and the rest known are not just flat figures, they are also very talented and intelligent individuals who had great deal of learning and want to have certain values. My enemies in good movies and reading really battles and flip these enemy attitides. The growth of Naruto’s relationship with each of these people, in particular his bond with Sasuke along with the rivalry, is one where one can not take his eyes off the screen.

Adding to the fact that Naruto Shippuden tops all other in terms of high production-value action scenes and strong fighting performances, it also has exceptionally high quality pre-written dialogue for the performances. The details of the fights are beautifully evocative, yet most notably these action scenes are very effective in their delivery of tension. It’s not just the content of each dangerous bout that feels substantial – either against fearsome opponents or battlefields filled with military conflict – but the stakes as well, because every fight is significant and not only for the purpose of showing different abilities.

Yasuharu Takanashi, the composer for the show, also did all of the soundtracks, most of which were loud when played and made Naruto Shippuden a highly emotional show. Every emotional instant is enhanced with the skillfully composed songs including the famous theme songs and the mystifying background music, established an extremely strong bond with the viewer making the playback of the show enjoyable fully.

I can say with confidence, that for me. Naruto Shippuden wasn’t only an anime that I loved - it is a series that many I northern crumpled, watching it along growing up and hence this fact holds several alright memories. It has episodes that evoked my emotions, others made me laugh, and somewhere in between them I had to review my life’s ideals like how much loyalty is important, how some kind of stiff adherence to faith and resolve is wrong and how it’s wrong to abandon all one’s dreams… Such a show is motivational and it will remain a fond memory and a part of me.

I would most certainly rate Naruto Shippuden as a 10/10. It is not just a piece of work but a piece of art because for people, me as well, that have a certain age this is a part of them, the part that they grew up with.

A Silent Voice is an inspiring and touching anime, a very rich and attractive piece that reflects many issues: the approach to bullying, the sense of internal pressure and responsibilities, an opportunity to build relationships etc. The all to familiar and overused thematic is given a fresh and developed approach in the characterization of its main pursuer Shoya Ishida: a boy shunned by his classmates for his cruelty against a deaf girl named Shoko Nishimiya in elementary school. Cardinal to the said theme (and the article as it deals with the corresponding issues) is a more detailed investigation of both the tormentor and the tormented ... in addition to the abuser and the abused as well as traumatic victimization and guilt as well as the resulting living with these factors.

Precisely one of the hallmarks in A Silent Voice is the ability of the film to explore complex feelings of its characters. Shoya is no ordinary hero. He is very imperfect and burdened by his previous wrongs. The sincerity of his endeavors and the depth of emotions invested in his desire to reach out and address the issue further is something new. Shoko, on the other hand, is a nice, compassionate person who tries to bond with people, despite having to endure the suffering. Her exchanges with her classmates are captivating and as well complex emotionally as this part of their story is both heartwrenching and uplifting.

The art style by Kyoto Animation is fascinating as it captures the minimalistic, yet profound emotions produced by the characters. The facial expressions, body gestures and use of colours, especially the lighting effects all play a significant role in adding empathy to the story. The methodologies employed by the film are stunning, most notably the use of pauses in their most distressing moments.

Finally, the background music in the film is also important as it modifies the mood. The music in the movie is milder yet its functions is strong of the touch required in some scenes and another is its ability not to interfere with the narrative itself. It could not have been done in any other way because it fits perfectly the purpose and objective of the theme, which was fragile and tricky to handle.

However, despite how effective A Silent Voice worked in terms of emotion it’s worth noting that there is a tendency for certain parts of the film’s flow to be slow and several additional characters besides the two main characters Shoya and Shoko, deserved more nuances as well. Still, the anime sure does not hang around these difficult subjects in a clichéd off-hand manner rather takes a different approach and makes those who are watching the anime reconsider the choices they make and indeed the incidence of feelings towards another person which is more important.

Eventually, it is most appropriate to refer to A Silent Voice as an anime that warms the heart and conveys a touching message about change and forgiveness. There may be a bit of a concern about the speed of the narrative extension, but its emotional content and chilling beauty make such scenes worth seeing. However, it’s worth grading in my opinion, 8/10, or rather a film I’d recommend to one who is after an engrossing, instructive tale.

Known for making its viewers cry with every episode, Violet Evergarden is one anime that would earn a five star rating from me in any website. Despite being a novel that has an interesting plot, even without the use of visual and animation techniques, it is elegant and chic, and very lovely to look at due to the additional visual aesthetics as well. This is what the series does best, invoking the viewers feelings and making them remember even after the show is ended.

Lying at the core of the story is that of a young woman named Violet, who during her post-war period, struggles to ... get back and build a normal life having been a force of in the war itself. Her story is about finding the words “I love you” that her superior Major Gilbert has told her when she was a young child soldier and how does she even say it. The man that cared most for Violet, her superior, Major Gilbert, disappears after the war, leaving her empty. This is the beginning of a mentally and emotionally entangled understanding of her and the world that the broken hearted Violet knows very little of.

It is with this foundation that the novel focuses on the main character’s understanding of multiple kinds of feeling (human, love, happiness. etc.); she takes up the profession of desk stuffed eventually learning the purpose of and discovering rinn has a heart and with it realizes the purpose of being alive.

There are many things that makes Violet Evergarden that much special and its episodic structure is one of them. As every episode brings a new character or a story beholding nuances of grief, hope or any other emotion for that matter. These stories are very normal, mostly it involves the experiences of Violet herself. The letters written are not only the connecting factors between two people, but also into the pray of the clients and Violet herself. It is during these situations that Violet's ability begins to unwind the trauma of her past and she learns to accept all other humaneness more than before. The series deftly flexes its episodic structure against Violet’s cumulative emotional development and by the final episode change in her character is neither drastic nor understated.

It also helps that visually Violet Evergarden is a gorgeous piece of animation. The effort put in the series by Kyoto Animation is evident in every part of this anime and this is a very developed part of this work. The attention is detailed to its very end, ranging from character and setting design to copious use of light and color. Every second of it is a piece of visual art enriching the drama of each and every one of the tales. This aspect comes in handy in descension into the parts of every viewer and makes the emotional affects more pronounced. The background music is undoubtedly one of the components in giving the correct atmosphere of the series especially with such a fantastic composition.

Violet Evergarden's perfection for me as a show isn't just the technical greatness or the writing alone, but it’s more of an admiration to the way it broaches it's central themes of sorrow, pain, and the recovery there of. The process of Violet’s transformation from a sullen fighter to a human with a heart is discussed with a lot of detail and delicateness. The anime takes its time with this, and in this pause, Violet adjusts. The character evolves in each series, so by the last episode, the gratification is just so overwhelming.

Especially, the way this anime deals with tragedy moved me a lot. It was heartbreaking to see that most of the people Violet would help moaned their sorrows and some of them, for example, suffered significant losses, a deceased relative, in some region or the other. As she writes letters for these people, Violet assists her clients to achieve much-deserved relief or provides services that they cannot access or express distress for. These parts of episodes, in particular, the part that depicts the writing of series of letters for the dying mother of one character to the end, and the interminable satisfaction of making sure her child will receive her words for years to come are the best in the series. It is such moments that end up causing this anime to generate an enormous amount of emotion.

Yet something more, Violet Evergarden is more than just an average embodiment of beauty. It is a humble piece of art which was competently made by talented people. And although the main character is admirably strange, it is he along with his shiver inducing story line that I find most powerful. And this is also why. I would say I give this anime a ten out of ten, without a shadow of a doubt, for everything mentioned above and for other unspoken reasons as well. It is that one type of a program which still keeps niggling long after it’s over. I have no doubt that it is one of those shows that belong to the group of timeless masterpieces in emotional storytelling.

An absolutely charming creation, My Dress-Up Darling, is expressive of creativity, dignity, and affection for others. The story is centered around Gojo, a laid-back and laid-back guy who has his own loophole and is interested in hina dolls, as it centers around Marin, a very cute and friendly girl who likes costumes and enjoys expressing herself. Despite being an awkward pair at face value, the two of them create a smooth flow of communication that makes the story engaging from the beginning up until the end.

Where this show scores most is in its chemistry. Gojo is a nice person but pretty reserved meaning it is ... with great satisfaction that one gets to witness his social blossoming that happens when he gets to do what he loves. Marin, on the other hand, is bright in contrast—strong, opinionated, and incredibly involved in her hobbies. It is convincing the way they interact providing a lot of comfort that this is a story with some warmth to make one come back next time.

The artwork in the anime is great and should be congratulated, especially during arcs in which characters are cosplayed. It is commendable that the fashion sense in the attire of the characters on the show Cooperates in the concept of cosplaying by not making it look fake and making viewers understand the meaning behind it. Every costume has been designed with a lot of thought and effort and they bring out the artisanship of the hobbies quite well.

Moreover, the timing and content of the comedy in My Dress-Up Darling is pitched perfectly. There are several humorous scenes and these do not simply seek to amuse the audience but they actualize the already existing persons or characters in an innovative manner. It is a show that does laughter and true feelings in a nice and sensible way.

The original soundtrack beautifully adds to the narrative, with catchy openings as well as background music that helps set the overall ambient and emotional tone.

To sum it up, My Dress-Up Darling is an endearing and warm-hearted anime which appreciates the art of fun and touch. It has appealing characters, beautiful designs, and an intriguing plot. There is no way that you will not appreciate this one if you are into costume play, or just like good shows. It was an absolutely lovely anime worth a solid 9/10, and if you are whatsoever interested in aesthetics or romance, I urge you to check it out.

Berserk stands out as an anime that eschews all conventions and instead presents a raw and frank depiction of the world. Right from the onset, it transports the viewer to a realm which offers upon it violence, heroism gone bad and equally tragic turn of events that makes it stand out from its counterparts in the fantasy genre. The figure at the center of this, named Guts, has immeasurable strength both mentally and in fighting against his enemies and is plagued by his own fears and ‘demons.’ It is exhilarating and at moments heart-wrenching, as Guts navigates the troubled waters that are part of his ... disposition and experience throughout the series.

The rich character development is one of the main reasons I became such a fan of Berserk. The protagonist is more than just any kind of ronin-like figure: a soldier devoid of her coat of honor and decency, overly dependent and therefore incapable of maintaining any sense of safety. Whatever reaction Guts can muster with Griffith, the leader of the band of the hawks caused mostly active comments of a much more complex nature. At the beginning, Griffith is a marvelous cause that is helped by his nobility but the intentions of the individual changes slowly as the movie goes on and finally causes a dramatical betrayal. That very torn fate of Griffith toward his longing core and absolute self-committent – it contributes a vast pall of sorrow to the tragic tale in a way that the reader feels it well after finishing the book.

This chapter belongs to the apex aspects of the band, the Band of the Hawk, friendships found within them. The friendships in the story especially the changing and blooming love between Guts and Casca are genuinely touching, and amid the harshness of the world one does find more than a few heartwarming moments. Such emotions are the very conflicts that make any treachery more difficult to bear, and there is where Berserk excels – it does not pull back from showing how deep the fall of desperation and failing actually are.

Exploration of the themes of Berserk encompasses themes such as ambition, power, and sacrifice, this anime keeps asking: what is the limit to what a person will do to get to his goals? And the answers leaves the audience to wonder at what cost? This is value from a binary perspective with moral values, loss, despair, plenty and hope. But this – the Symbolic repentance of all that – the Eclipse loss cannot be undone – is the point where Griffith conversed through majority every of his future plot developments – which makes it a crucial juncture of the fight.

From a visual perspective, the anime presents a realistic, dark and violent medieval world; however, it is important to note that animation in the later versions is mediocre at best. The 1997 adaptation retains some of the original grit that – despite being easily contrasted as badly made in some technical ways- brings the violence out of the world in the most efficient manner. Moreover, the haunting music especially the persistent opening beat and a more melancholic closing pinches the entire experience with nostalgia.

But still, I didn’t have the guts to push the scale of my Berserk mark up to ten because although it came out beautiful, it doesn’t quite fill in the magnificent space left for the manga in my soul. Many a viewer argues that the manga provides deeper insights to the backgrounds, goals and places of the characters. The anime seems narrower than the lead, in addition to the fact that they came into completion in a few episodes some of the most required action plans and pictorial improvisations have been compromised or wiped out. This can be attributed to the otherwise positive television show approach that overemphasizes pace production even further in the ending parts of the series. The manga praiseworthy may be viewed as the far most true realization of Kentaro Miura’s intricate and artful seeing style which appreciably differ from tv animation.

A big problem for me is that the show ends soon after the Eclipse was shown leaving the viewers without a conclusive end. The Eclipse event is entertaining and all but even its ending isn't the closing end of the whole story in the manga. The manga continues after eclipse as well and focuses more on Guts’ quest for revenge, his internal struggles with his alter ego and his ongoing rivalry with Griffith. Modern viewers’ expectations have quenched the flame, yet to have full enjoyment of Lalinda one has to go through the manga.

To sum up, although the Berserk anime is a production that will stay long in the viewers’ memory, seeing it as a whole is to see only a section of an unrealistic picture, enough elements are flawed – especially when the work is read – but the strong points – one’s taut emotions, the caustic interactions of blossomed fabulously fine characters, then the sharp reflections on the sagas of dream and backstabbing – all extremely well excel. Therefore I give it a rating of 9. It is a series that has certainly touched me, however, I am aware that there is so much more of the tale that has been left out in the anime. Still, it is one of the worthy additions to the blend of some of the best dark fantasy narratives.

I must admit, Cowboy Bebop has to be among the top anime one has ever seen. It builds in so many other areas, and overarching it all, everything goes perfectly into place. It seems that each episode presents a different story as there are cool action scenes and moments of sorrow.

The audience treasure the participants and their respective demeanor in the featured film. Spike is handsome, calm and composed and looks the leading threat in Bebop, but is complex. Notwithstanding, Jet, Faye, and Ed are written so complicatedly, that it is impossible to imagine such a group as Bebop without the “accomplices”. The director changed ... the emotions of characters just a few episodes not loading any evolution from the characters.

This format of Cowboy Bebop 2001 edition does not bore. It is amazing how everything looks lively during the carriages especially when there are ship chase scenes or hand to hand combat scenes. There is even a palpable sense of the dynamism there in different planets, with the tourist looking planets and packed cities.

As for Cowboy Bebop, the soundtrack also has to be mentioned. The music, especially to the jazz and blues variety, has a major influence on what allows this show to walk tall. It isn’t simply providing some form of fill up music to the background—it is the element of which adds on to any moment.

On the whole, Cowboy Bebop– isn’t just simply a piece of entertainment anime. It drowns with coolness, it is profound, it is the sort of anime that will take some time for you to get over it. Even if you do not watch anime, this one is a must watch. I would easily rate it more than we are allowed to. Obviously, see you, space cowboy.
