Grannies, Ghosts, and aliens are already a bunch to gather your mind around, the whirlwind of absurdity, wonder, and a pinch of strange beauty is what adds spice to this anime.
At first look, the show appears to be unseriousโbecause its foundations are bizarre, its subplots even more so, and its characters are chaotically brilliant. Still, as the story progressed, I understood the chaos was meaningful, even significant. By the time I finished the show, I was convinced this series canโt go wrong. It is that good. I wonder how are they going to top

Astounded at how well this show combined humor with complex, weighty subjects. Nothing about our trio's interactions or dialogue seemed forced; they were all such genuine characters. "Champloo" does a lot of justice to its name; which in Japanese culture simply means 'mixed' or 'blended'.Every individual contributed a distinct personality to the narrative, ensuring that every scene felt authentic and real. It was after such a long time I giggled at some jokes. -๐๐๐๐ฉ'๐จ ๐๐ค๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐ง? . -๐๐๐'๐จ ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ "๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐๐ฉ๐๐ง." ๐๐ฉ'๐จ ๐ ๐๐๐ข๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐ค๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฎ ๐๐๐จ๐๐ค๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ฃ ๐๐ช๐ง๐ค๐ฅ๐. ...

Pluto is slow-paced, but it rewards patience with an emotionally powerful climax. Having loved Monster, I had high expectations and wasnโt disappointed. The world is dark and parallels recent tragic events, yet it maintains a persistent ray of hope. Despite the bleak and violent moments, the show never loses sight of this optimism. Patient viewers will be rewarded for sure. I would have imploded if it Madhouse was the main studio instead of M2. The compositions felt out of place in high-exposure scenes and the CGI felt way too "clean". But to be fair, the short ultra-high-speed fight moments was ... May 31, 2024

Damn. Watching Serial Experiments Lain was a surreal and hair-raising experience that kept me questioning every episode. This anime, a blend of multilayered symbolism and psychological themes, is both uncanny and uncomfortable. Lain, the antisocial protagonist (literally me), is indifferent to technology until she receives an email from a deceased classmate. This event triggers Lain's obsession with the Wired and technology, leading her down a spiral of consumption. which iss too good of a plot to start. From the start, I was intrigued. Each episode presented bizarre visuals and freakish plot points filled with electrical wires, blank stares, computers, and ... Mar 18, 2024

Murder, guns, and mafia battles. To be honest, it was a little unsettling to watch a shoot-em-up action movie confront both itself and the audience. The show disregards morality, but unlike most shows, it does it directly in our faces rather than using the tactic of "Oh, it's just the enemy." Bloodbaths go beyond what is considered "ethical"ย in Hollywood. But maybe they were supposed to be served like this. A little too spicy. It does feel nice ... Jan 10, 2024

The vibrant, picturesque backgrounds and intricate settings shine brightly in an otherwise sluggish story presented in a rigid, serious manner lacking in both seriousness and enthusiasm for the subject matter. The captivating landscapes painted by the artist steal the show, but the story itself unfolds at a leisurely pace, lacking the liveliness and emotional depth that could make it truly engaging. Not that it was not enough, but not enough for a Ghibli. The world-building was scattered and the characters felt shallow but the animations were more fluid than ever. The lack of wit or ...

Distinctly Japanese in its essence yet resonating with cultures universal. It captures the allegorical struggle between modernity and traditionalism, while also shedding light on the fight for environmentalism.

With seamless grace, it weaves together hilarious moments and poignant sorrow, creating a symphony of emotions. It transports the audience, painting a masterpiece of words and scenes that fulfills dreams and leaves an indelible smile and teary eyes at the end.

Yes peeps it's here. The thing we all wanted for so long. We all thought we would never see this day. We all pondered that the idea of saliva-dripping faces watching something magnificent from around the globe would never become a reality. But ladies and gentlemen it's here. The starship launch. Just as beautiful as I had thought in my erotic fantasies. I have seen it 20 times now and it just keeps getting better. And yes almost forgot....there's Suzume too.

Nowadays, it's uncommon to find many shows or studios prepared to take chances. I've been desiring retro stuff because so much of the anime business has shifted toward fan service to fans. Anything that has the potential to wow me with its originality and unconventional presentation. Ping Pong The Animation is that "something" because to its unorthodox aesthetic, superb character development, symbolism, and sporadic bursts of brilliant dry comedy. And also because it has been rotting in my watchlist for a long time now craving to be seen. It's less of a sports ... |
