Shingeki no Kyojin
(Anime)
add
Animation? Great quality. Premise? Interesting and makes you want to sit and watch the rest of it. Worldbuilding? It's ok to decent. This anime would have been something I would've wanted to watch had the anime consistently been released back in the late 2010's. That being said I have somewhat kept up with the anime during the years and was eager to watch it, movies and all, when it all airs and finishes. HOWEVER, there was a certain leaked pages that spoiled the ending and everyone (including myself) were outraged at how it ended. After roughing it through the long break from season 1 to

Boku no Hero Academia
(Anime)
add
Watched to completion the first episode and first few volumes of the manga and it could not grip me. Focusing on the anime it's ok to bad. Main character isn't likable. Relatable yes but not likable. He does nothing but whine and cry and complain and does nothing to make himself look like he can mature or even stick up for himself. Laughable and pitiable at best and annoying and down right miserable to watch at worst. The powers are interesting and the explanation of them is decent but that aside there is nothing about the main character much less the cast that makes them

This is a self encapsulated anime along with its second season meaning you do not need to watch or know about any of the immense library of gundam anime to enjoy this. With that said it is a good well thought out story about child soldiers in the scope of a war that is far above them and yet they have the power to forge their own path out of the hellhole of the battlefield. Tense moments for the too young main characters are a running theme that molds the characters into something that is a sight to behold.
If you are new to gundam anime ... Jun 30, 2024
This anime is a hidden gem. The pacing, characters, and the excellent music score puts this anime at the top of any watch list.
The character building is excellent letting them explore the space of being upcoming gangsters in a a realistic cruel and unforgiving world that they themselves are aware of. The characters grow and get to carve out their own small section where they get to have their own limelight, sound designs and especially quotes that reflect wonderfully on themselves up until the very end. While not on the level of the psychological genre it pokes and urges the watcher to keep a ... Jun 30, 2024
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
(Anime)

Action packed? Absolutely. Great animation and a song that hits you just right? Check. Yet that is all that it has. The characters are written nice enough but it is all at a surface level interaction and that is it. The build up for the main character, David, is fairly well executed and built up rather well for a short ten episode anime. The integration for the rest of the cast is minimal with nothing other than 'Hey this is the crew, enjoy them' kind of attitude that leaves very little room for improvement.
To make a long story short the main character David got ... Jun 30, 2024
Akame ga Kill!
(Anime)
add
This show has very little going for it on all sides. Sure it has some mildly interesting characters and a somewhat interesting storyline but that is all that it brings. The shock factor of having the characters quickly killed wears off fast. The characters get a bit of screen time and then are killed off the moment they get some semblance of relationship development with the main character. Even for an anime made during 2014 there is little other than sheer popularity that has this for redeeming qualities. Ask anyone who saw this if they would like it now that they have seen better.

Dragon Ball Kai

This is a distilled version of DB that only has, and this cannot be stressed enough, ONLY FIGHTING. The animation is one of the best to experience the original DB fights and cutscenes with the hype and exceptional voice acting from the english voice actors. Though that is all this version does well. Do not expect good character quips, character building, and overall good stuff from the original DB series. A lot of content has been cut and some of it is good and some of it is bad. An overall better experience would be the original DB series if you can stomach the longer

Sword Art Online

add
This is how to watch this anime. Watch the opening, one of the best older anime openings, enjoy the first two episodes since it sets up everything extremely well. Then stop. Do not pass go, do not watch the rest. This is the worst anime you will watch. Enjoy the first two episodes and revel in what could have been. This anime devolves and wastes what could have been a great plot that would make anyone who wondered the question, 'what if when you die in the game you die in real life?'. Squandered plot lines, bad characters, and an underserved great song for an

Kimetsu no Yaiba
(Anime)

ANIMATION ASIDE this is a good anime. Not great, not terrible. It doesn't have much in the terms of character arcs or a very compelling and innovative storyline. It lays out what the story will be, delivers it through some very good animation, and completes it all in a neat little bow. That is where this anime truly shines. The action sequences are by far the only attention grabber this anime has. Excellent animation, gripping shots, and great sound design are the best the industry has in terms of newer anime when compared to the old classics. That being said it is a fine story

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

This anime is by far one of if not the most known anime for a good reason. It gives wonderful story structure, pacing, and character building. It has it's own iconic opening, little catchphrases and parts of it that'll stick to you. Usually a second watch through is something that isn't warranted unless you heavily enjoyed the anime but in this case you will greatly benefit from it. Not only will you spot foreshadowing much easier and be able to spot the smaller things with greater ease. If you are new to anime as a whole this is by far the number one recommendation since
