I Parry Everything has a humorous take on isekai anime. Noor, seemingly with no talent, has the best talent of all and that's being able to parry everything. Absurdly strong and extremely oblivious to his own skill, this anime follows him on his adventures in a funny and lighthearted way.

The characters outside of Noor are very uninteresting and they serve no purpose other than to be some humorous obstacle towards Noor.

The animation good, but not great. Nothing to really say in this area of series.

Not a great plot and is very simple. You get the cliche protagonist, him being dim-witted, and the battles are ... very repetitive. It's a quick watch and enjoyable but don't expect much from it.

Fable has a very slow start to the beginning but halfway through it picks up. I enjoyed the humor, action, and how the plot progresses after the midway point. I think it was interesting how they blended in something so dark with so much humorous content.

The animation is a bit and older than I would like, as if it was done on purpose.

There was quite a few scenes where it was too dark and even though I could see the characters and setting, I had to focus to do so. The characters themselves reminded me a lot of Hiroshi Iwaaki's (Parasyte) drawing style. ...

It was very entertaining when the plot or is progressed and I was always looking forward to the next episode. Definitely worth a watch.

A gritty picturesque anime that has a style that sets it apart from most anime styles I gravitate to like Kino's Journey, Bleach, Naturo, FMAB, Date, Jojo's, and the rest. A style I very much liked. Very gritty and flashy, especially the fight scenes that are bloody and somewhat straight forward. A kind of brutality you don't see well done in many anime series.

Ron Perlman and Samuel L. did amazing jobs as voice actors, top tier. RZA did a stellar job on the soundtrack throughout the series and the opening song is tough.

The storyline is really straight forward but the meaning is lost, at least ... to me, when the you find out the purpose of the headbands.

I wish the the fight scenes better choreography. Some of them were too simple or too flashy and when they fell in-between it was quick and over in a flash and you didn't get to actually SEE skill and swordplay. A sword swing, a flash, and 6 people go down. That's how a majority of the fights were. I was wanting something more Kakashi and Obito.

Overall Afro Samurai was a pleasant and easy series to watch. Very short but impactful. A solid 7. Hulu 09/2-14/24

I loved the animation style of every single character in Hellsing Ultimate. All unique but themed in the same manner. The vibrant circular styled eyes and the strong characterized poses. Hellsing Ultimate is a step up in everyway from the Hellsing original anime that was released years.

What I thoroughly enjoyed about Hellsing Ultimate was that there was always backstory to every single character. Things we didn't know of but were spoken of as if we should know. That brought compelling urge to know exactly who they are. Where did the general come from , why is he like that, wtf is Alucard, where did Seras ... come from, why is Anderson so crazed, who is Walter, his past, etc. There is so information to devulge yourself in as far as backstory goes. The plot itself was full of twists and turns and it didn't seem forced in anyway.

What I didn't enjoy at times were the basic choreographed fight scenes. Often times, not all, they just seem like colored manga pictures with not a whole lot of movement. The plot seemed scattered towards the beginning forcing you towards the end. There was no major build up until the last few episodes of the series. For the most part, not a lot that happened in the beginning was really even important. Alucard was such a main protagonist that it sucked attention away from everyone else in many ways. Alucard was always the trump card to any threat in the series.

Overall Hellsing Ultimate is a dark, well thought out, and fulfilling series. I would recommend it highly. I originally gave this a 5, but open rewatching it and understanding the underlying make ups and elements to this series, I dropped it to a 4. Still impressive nonetheless. Aug 25 - Sept 1 Hulu

Tsukimichi was enjoyable from start to finish. Makoto Misumi, the main protagonist, is very innocent and very unknowningly comical. This aspect of his character pulls you in from the very beginning.Every character you meet henceforth has a very unique personality that stands out from their counterparts throughout the series, with all of them being slightly humorous in their own way.

The character designs were very basic and nothing particularly made each character unique, save for a few. The expected design make up for each character was the same. However, they did a great job at introducing characters they have very different facial features and designs.

The ... story was great from how it developed from the beginning to the end. This being an isekai series you have a general idea of how the plot will layout and this stuck to that very design scheme which made that aspect of the series very repetitive. If you saw "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime", this series follows the plot sketch, seemingly almost verbatim. This was my main takeaway. It felt as if Tsukimichi was a spin-off with a similar plot.

If you enjoyed Slime, you would definitely enjoy Tsukimichi.

The animation is very clear and appealing and the characters are all unique in their own right. The scenes are vivid and don't have the picture book feel when you watch it, everything is animated. The fight scenes and crisp and very fluid. I enjoy that aspect of the series the most.

The plot/story itself is very generic. If you have seen One Punch Man, Tokyo Ghoul, Solo Leveling, Parasyte, or World Trigger, Kaijiu No.8 takes themes and plot ideas from all of these series. Not saying that it's stolen but just saying that it is very similar and unoriginal. Enter the weak protagonist who stumbles ... upon unbelievable powers, and he has a dream of being stronger. In this story there is some kind of military force or group with a power ranking system. He tries to hide his powers and pretend to be weak because he doesn't want to let on about his powers. He is goofy/silly/outcast. He doesn't use the full extent of his powers but will probably do so when he is needed the most <---- all very overused ideas.

Despite all the commonalities Kafka has a personality that draws you in because of how different he compares to those around him because of his age. I found myself smiling or even laughing at times. Overall Kaiju No. 8 is worth a watch but as anime lover it won't be anything ground breaking or something that you haven't seen.

A crap load of forced humor in this season by far. They give more attention to Arthur's delusion as a Knight of the round to the point where it loses it humor. There is even an episode where they focus on Namaki and her inability to provocatively undress, just random and a waste of time. Her character development throughout both series is abysmal. Juggernauts voice is ear bleeding and his character persona is boring. Its almost as if they were making a parody of country farm Americans.

There is more revelation to the overall story which is great but it's still makes you feel like, ... "so what" and "well, what are you going to do about it". There is a sense of complexity on the Fire Force, The Evangelist, Sol Church, and Hajima Industries and how they all tie in together but it's still doesn't matter or hasn't shown any reason on why this is important at the moment.
A majority of the episodes were uneventful and didn't bring any real revelation to the story. It was just a plot within the series that was there. It felt very much like filler episodes until something serious happened. They had a few major plot revelations spread through the 24 eps which dulled the pacing.

Overall the series made very few improvements but from watching season 1 I had to see how season turned out and this is what I gathered.

Firce Force has a very slow take off but significantly improves as you get further along in the storyline. The storyline revolves around Shinra and his search for his younger brother Sho who was lost in a fire. The storyline is unique and the plot is very interesting. There moments where the plot follows the cliche tropes of traditional anime shows like DBZ where if you believe enough and have faith in your friends you'll have enough power to overcome any obstacle. Which is lazy writing.

The art/animation is very well done but it is consistently stale. Very much a still art at the beginning of ... the series with frames being carried alongside audio. A picture book for words if you will. Firce Force stands in its own lane in the fact that it isn't too flashy and trying hard to be something it isn't.

What I did enjoy was the characters themselves and being introduced them and watching how they all interact. I couldn't find much falt in their character designs and it made the series much more interesting to watch.

Boring and uneventful. The only thing to possibly look forward to are the events that take place after this tournament, and that is a big maybe. Just seeing it from a story/plot point view there were no big revelations or anything of awe.

Like the typical Baki plot, they fought, overexplained what was going on in the fight, one person hit the other, the other did a move, people gasp, and someone won. No single fluid consistent play of skill or fighting done in a way to truly display the art of fighting.

There were no good fight scenes. They talked through half the fights and ... there was no intensity to anything that was shown. Kengan Ashuran by itself has better fights scenes that Baki and this merger leaned more towards the Baki style of writing and fights. Long winded, big talks, and very mediocre choreographed action.

This series follows somewhat of a sped up Isekai/fantasy anime genre. You're introduced to Jin-Woo the protagonist, he is very much your typical weak, underwhelming, but hiddenly smart typical character. As the series develops you delve deeper into Jin-Woo as a character and truly get the opportunity to see him progress. While the season is short, it is very much action-packed and the visuals are very well done.

The storyline itself is yet to be desired because all you're looking forward to is the next level, next skill, and the next boss. Very much similar feeling when you play some classic RPGs games. Farm the ... enemies, get better weapons, obtain new skills, explore new dungeons, and fight strong bosses.

Overall Solo Leveling is entertaining to watch but so far that is all it is. I enjoyed every single fight in the series and they all had that exciting factor of "ohhh, what's next". I am looking forward to the next season solely based off the action alone. 6/10
