An absolutely amazing sequel is what Tokyo Ghoul Re is, it does extremely well in many aspects however does lack in some aswell.
Pros : Almost all the characters are amazing with few exceptions and especially the main cast from the ghouls and investigators are all great. The artwork of this manga is one of the best I've seen with only few surpassing it such as OPM but it does come close. The story arcs are all well planned out and flow extremely well making them all good. A surprising thing was plot twists, while they weren't unpredictable and I knew most of them before the
...
reveal it didn't make them bad and was still very well done.
Cons : First the conclusion, the author had to wrap it up somehow and I found it mediocre, without spoiling it feels like he had to tie up all loose ends and mysteries making it feel a bit rushed, random and odd but it wasn't bad. Deaths, I swear the author refuses to kill anyone of value it's pretty predictable who'll die and who won't and it does annoy me as this is supposed to be a cruel world but the main cast just always gets lucky or extremely close to death. Pacing, to be honest I found the pacing bad it was slow in some parts but then others was so fast it was annoying to keep up, they would introduce tens of characters in a few chapters and immediatley change the topic and scenario.
I didn't really explain my opinion well so to conclude Tokyo Ghoul Re is extremely good and I would recommend it but I do know better mangas so it doesn't break into my top 5

If you told me that this random series that I've barely heard of turns out to be one of the greatest mangas of all time, I would think you're crazy but it was. Pandora Hearts was a near perfect manga in literally every category and it pains me to see how underrated and unknown it is.
Characters : The first 20 chapters or so the characters do feel somewhat bland and not too creative, unique or special but this is completely changed later on. When I say literally every character is goated and written to perfection I'm not joking, every person from the antagonists, the main
...
cast, side cast and some with barely any screen time are all amazing. Another thing this series does insanely well are character deaths each are so beautifully done it genuinely hurt seeing them die. I don't want to spoil but you'll see when you read it
Arcs : Honestly pretty consistent throughtout the story, each arc is good and while some are paced slowly I don't have any problems with them
Emotions : Not only the character deaths but the story is so magnificent, the characters feelings come alive and feels like I'm there with them through suffering and the hard times easily one of the best parts of this manga
Antagonists : One of the best casts of antagonists I've seen, all of them feel so well done and especially the main one had a perfect conclusion
I really can't express how much Pandora Hearts surpassed my expectations and I guarantee it will yours aswell.

A beautiful and compelling story of bullying, trauma, forgiveness and acceptance. Silent voice duid all of this perfectly with only 2 hours of run time which makes it such a masterpiece.
The MC and FMC are both done so well with their past of being a bully vs the bullied and eventually when they reunite how they slowly get to know and learn each other. Shoya changes so much throughtout the story which we can see through the use of his flashbacks and his actions with the side cast, honestly he's just perfect and one of my favourite characters especially in the romance genre.
The side cast
...
is also amazing, while not perfect the movie with only a 2 hours manages to create a solid cast of characters that all feel alive and have their own personality thats not basic especially the ones that used to bully along with Shoya and to see their change and actions throughout the story really paints the picture of development and acceptance of the past especially with Shoya and Ueno.
Really there's not much I can say about this movie, it is so well done in every aspect and easily one of the best romance animes and anime movies ever. If you like realistic animes that have to do with real life problems and mental issues this is one of the best.

The most confusing watching experience you'll ever have. The Evangelion movie was a very carefully planned out movie but the main area it lacks in is it's explanation of the story.
Overall the story, depth and message are really good and even the characters are interesting in this path of Evangelion however this is only if you can understand it while watching.
Since the review is strictly on the movie I have to give it a bad rating, the movie doesn't explain basically anything going on and just expects you to follow the many random and odd events. If you went and searched up everything on
...
google later you'd realize that the movie was actually good and well made but google shouldn't have to be used to understand it and the movie itself should be explaining what, how or why all this is happening. All the hardcore Evangelion fans are going to come after me for this but I had full focus on the movie and anime but they simply never explain anything at all which ruins the entire experience.
Overall the movie had potential to be amazing but since it requires you to search up everything it just ruins it all and makes everything feel random especially near the end.

The most action packed manhwa you'll find is Solo Leveling in a nutshell. While it may be extremely entertaining and if that's what you're looking for this manhwa is perfect but aside from that it lacks in every category and is extremely poorly written.
I'll start with the pros, Solo Leveling was one of the first manhwas to do dungeons, necromancer and system this well and it also had good entertaining fights against the many many generic antagonists. The artwork is extremely well done and only adds more to the insane fight scenes.
Now for the cons, first Sung Jin-woo is one of the worst protagonists I've
...
ever seen and it hurts since he had so much potential. He started as this weakling who's looked down by everyone and struggled to survive for strength but as the series continues nothing else happens he basically stays the same being emotionless, edgy and has no motivation or ideals besides the class shonen generic tropes. He had his moments but aside from 1 or 2 good scenes his development is insanely bad and overall is a weak MC.
Next the side cast, while the story is revolved around the MC it makes sense that the side cast isn't focused on and I understand that but what annoys me is how every arc is the exact same, new cast, new dungeon, new generic enemy etc. As soon as the arc ends we never see the characters again even if they are semi important such as the world class hunters, the demoness in the 100 floor dungeon etc.
Finally the plot, honestly it actually isn't that bad, it's decently made for a dungeon manhwa and is surprisingly better than what I expected.
Overall if you want pure entertainment, fights and to turn your brain off while reading Solo Leveling is perfect but if you want anything that makes a story and it's characters good you will be extremely disapointed.

Re : Zero is in it's own category of perfection, it is actually insane how good the author is at writing, this story has everything you need from a perfect protagonist, an amazing sidecast, beautiful and heart wrenching emotions, phenomenal arcs and so much more.
Protagonist : Subaru the most realistic and alive character you'll see in fiction, he's a person with mental issues, inferiority complex, inner conflicts, depression and alturistic. Throughtout the story his development is actually unmatched, I can feel him grow as a person and see him become a better man that it actually makes me feel like he's alive. It's genuinely difficult
...
to write how great of a MC he is and I've read and watched so much animanga but still barely any come close to him and he even makes me want to change how I am as a person.
Side cast : The Re : Zero cast is actually very solid, the main cast is very good and I can't find any issues with them. The side cast is also great while they don't all have equal screen time making it hard to each get their own character the author still manages to make every character well even the ones with barely relevance to the plot are well made.
Plot : The greatest time travelling and Isekai anime, Re : zero's plot is extremely unique from generic japanese fiction and it makes the story extremely interesting as it's a unique experience from all the bad and trashy animanga out there.
Entertainment : A subjective category but I think it's extremely fun, while it's not a shonen so most people won't enjoy it if you can appreciate good writing and a good story this is by far one of the most fun watching experiences you'll have
Arcs/Consistency : Every arc of Re : Zero is amazing, I thought it would be repetitive with a new conflict, Subaru suffering and then winning it isn't like that at all and every arc feels difference and unique and each done perfectly.
It is genuinely life changing and so insanely good it's one of my favourite pieces of fiction of all time not just animanga. I really do recommend this to you as it is amazing in every way.

A life changing anime is the best way to describe Re : Zero. It has the best blend of characters, story, development, emotion and entertainment that is so good that it's easily one of the greatest animes of all time.
Protagonist : Subaru is a alturistic person with mental issues and inner conflicts, one big problem most wactchers have with him is he's not overpowered or is a cry baby but they simply can't understand good writing. He has some of the greatest character development, monologues and quotes that's so good it felt like it was actually real and I could relate to him. It's hard
...
to put into words how great of a MC he is and I've read and watched so much animanga but still barely any come close to him.
Side cast : Honestly pretty good, there isn't really any issue with the case each character is done well and there aren't many flaws with them not much to say on this.
Plot : It's another time travelling anime however this is easily the greatest in the category is has a unique feel to it and the story is so interesting it makes you keep wanting more.
Entertainment : While this isn't a shonen so most people won't have fun if you can appreciate good writing and a good story this is by far one of the most fun watching experiences you'll have
Arcs/Consistency : Each arc of Re : Zero's first season is phenomenal, while the white whale arc is the weakest it isn't bad at all and throughtout the first season there were really no bad parts
Trust me on this and give it a try with an unbiased opinion because I can promise you, you will not regret it

Mushoku Tensei is the most iffy series you'll ever find and for good reason too. While it is extremely good in certain areas such as the MC if you look past his actions, the side cast and the plot it also is extremely weak and bad in many areas.
Rudeus the protagonist is extremely hated by the anime community but for good reason, I won't say his actions are good but when he becomes an adult in the series the author actually focuses on his character and development rather than trying to get laid with teenage girls.
The side cast of Mushoku Tensei is actually very strong
...
and a really good one, the characters are all well fleshed out and each have their own unique personality which leads to a more enjoying experience and even the female cast is also good which is generally hard to find in an isekai.
The main issue Mushoku Tensei has in my opinion is it's consistency, it will go from an amazing arc to a horrible one that serves no purpose to the story or feels like filler. During Rudeus's time as a kid all the arcs were bad except for the demon continent and especially the university arc was trash and just a way to force Rudeus's relationship with syphie which was not done well. However after Rudeus becomes an adult the writing in the story definitely becomes better which is good.
Overall Mushoku Tensei is good but really it depends on person to person, if you don't like how the series feels in the first 2-3 volumes don't continue as the story doesn't change too much throughout the novel.
8/10

Tomodachi game is a perfect, carefully planned story hidden behind a generic plot. When reading the beginning you'll think of another generic manipulator edgy manga but in reality it's so much more well written than it seems.
Main character : Yuuichi the MC is nothing special for the first 70 chapters or so, he gives off edgy emo vibes and has the manipulator aura around him but as you continue reading especially when the Adult Tomodachi games start you start seeing the truth, he's a broken boy living for his friends, I won't spoil anything but he's so beautifully written and his conclusion is genuinely one
...
of the greatest I even put it up there with Lelouch.
Side Cast : This category is a little iffy, while the main side cast is great and each have their own fascinating backstories, motivations and carefully written development aside from them the side cast isn't amazing. There are a few exceptions but mostly you won't see great side characters besides the last 2 arcs.
Entertainment : A subjective category but for me this was so fun, it was so good I started it in the morning and read it through the whole day finishing it at 3 am, it kept me at the edge of my seat and always wanting more
Arcs : Honestly no arc in this manga is bad, sure some are better but all of them are atleast a 7/10 and each are unique making them interesting and compelling to read and the last 2 arcs of this manga were genuinely so perfect it's hard to find arcs that can beat it
Overall Tomodachi Game is such a well written and perfect manga that it's difficult to find elsewhere. In the mystery category it's one of the best and in general it's amazing I really do recommend you to read this even if you find the first couple of chapters generic.
10/10

A beautiful but flawed masterpiece is the best way to describe ORV. It excels in many categories and has one of the best protagonist and side cast you'll find in any story but it also has just as many flaws.
Protagonist: Kim Dokja is one of the greatest and well written altruistic MC and is difficult to find anyone as good as him
Side cast : the ORV side cast is extremely good some amazing characters are YJH, HSY, the Kim dokja company and many of the constellations however they dont all get equal screen time leaving some characters rushed like Lee gilyoung who was written horribly
Plot
...
: Not much to say here except it's an interesting and entertaining story but sometimes paced badly and all the mysteries/plot twists are predictable since the authors writing style is re used through the story
Fights : the biggest flaw with ORV in my opinion. I don't mean fighting but conflict, whenever there's a tense or suspenseful moment it gets ruined from an easy solution, random events or plot saving the characters, some may disagree with this take but it's true. whenever there's an issue Kim Dokja comes up with an easy solution that kills the tension, even when he sacrifices himself it doesn't feel that way since he resurrects even stronger than before leaving the solutions having a sour taste.
Epilogue : The after story for ORV is horrible and just don't read it, it'll ruin your opinion of it. Near the ending of the epilogue is actually becomes good when YJH goes to the alternate world lines but before that it's absolutely trash and feels like a fan fiction someone wrote for more attention.
Overall ORV is extremely good in most categories but once you finish it you'll see it's flaws and issues. That doesn't mean it's bad but just not perfect as most glazers say. 10/10
