Ok what's Bastard? A Korean Comic with a simple plot synopsis that says, "My dad is a serial killer" (if you are reading on LINE WEBTOON). It sounded pretty cliche and non interesting after reading such a vague synopsis like that but then I still decided to give it a try and after few days of nonstop reading I can gladly say that it is the best manhwa I have ever read!!!
Even simply reading the prologue will get you HOOKED on this work that you will even forget how simplistic and dull the art is. Yes, the art is as simplistic as it could ... to be, there is almost little to no detailing, but that isn't the strongest point of this work obviously. What makes Bastard are its characters, each and every one of them, they all exist in the webtoon for a purpose, neither once did I question the existence of any of them nor it felt like they were just added to give the story a meaning, no. What gave meaning to this masterpiece was the overwhelming emotions the characters display over the entire course of this comic.
There is no boredom in any of the chapters, they are neither too fast nor too slow and the story progresses and the characters develop just at the right time to keep you mesmerized and intrigued.
It's a masterpiece to me because it managed to DELIVER an emotionally overwhelming story because of the epic dialogues and the characters.

Gin no Saji is one of the few feel good anime that just makes you feel refreshed and motivated if you are feeling down or just in the spiral of depression. The story starts off with Hachiken, a normal school student who runs off to an Agricultural school to get a break from all the pressure he's in and the breakdown from not being able to clear his entrance exam.

What makes him relatable is that if you are a person struggling in your school or college then you have obviously faced the pressure that comes with it about what you want to do with your ... life. Hachiken is just like that and in every episode you can relate more and more with the people he befriends, their stories and their dreams and the challenges they have to face.

The soundtracks are good although the opening isn't really that great, voice acting is great too. The art is enjoyable and funny at times, it is an anime that gives you both a message as well as a good laugh.

This is a story about dealing with life, understanding the importance of friends in life and also how you should name the livestock you are going to eat.
