The Silent Scream of Dystopia
Shinsekai Yori is not just an anime, but a look at the darkest aspects of human nature. The anxiety, respect and sadness I felt when watching it still remain. A perfect blend of dystopian science fiction, psychological thriller and philosophical depth, this series forcefully examines humanity's fight with power, society and morality.

Overall: 5.3 → 5/10 - It may deserve a chance thanks to its artistic side, but I think it deserves an even lower score in terms of story and character development.

Sometimes an anime is just that pretty that you watch it hoping for the best. You'll find that underneath all this prettiness, there is no love. Kyoukai no Kanata is that kind of experience. Kyoto Animation has extremely beautiful animation, scenarios that are full of light effects, and detailed drawings of people. ...

There are anime films that tell stories, and then there are those that whisper them through breathtaking visuals, unforgettable music, and deeply woven emotions. Howl’s Moving Castle is undoubtedly one of the latter. With its anti-war message, magical realism, and emotionally rich characters, it stands as one of Hayao Miyazaki’s most poignant works.

One of Hayao Miyazaki's best, Spirited Away is as much a coming-of-age story as it is an adventure. Combining a child's coming of age with a fantasy story. But the movie is more than a coming-of-age story; it deals with deep issues such as identity, consumerism, freedom and the relevance of traditional Japanese myth on modern society.

One of the most iconic series in shounen anime history, Bleach is characterized by its unique visual style, high-octane fight scenes, and interesting world. But as the series progresses, it falls short of what it could have been, eventually disappointing in depth.

If anything makes Bleach stand out, it is its atmosphere. The mysterious architecture of Soul Society, the eerie emptiness of Hueco Mundo, and the concept of 'Shinigami' itself are the best parts of the series. Kubo's art, which ...

Mononoke (Anime) add

Overall: 9.3 → 9

There are anime that tell stories, and then there are anime that paint stories—Mononoke belongs to the latter. With its surreal visuals, fragmented storytelling, and deeply symbolic themes, this series is more than just a supernatural mystery; it is an experience, one that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll.

At its core, Mononoke follows the enigmatic Medicine Seller, a man of almost supernatural presence, as he travels across Edo-period Japan, exorcising vengeful spirits known as "mononoke." But ...

Some films don’t need complex narratives or high-stakes conflicts to leave a lasting impression; My Neighbor Totoro is one of them. It thrives on simplicity, nostalgia, and pure-hearted wonder, capturing childhood in a way few films can.

The story follows two sisters, Satsuki and Mei, as they move to the countryside and encounter mystical creatures led by the gentle, enigmatic Totoro. Unlike many adventure-driven anime, Totoro is more about experiencing a world rather than following a structured plot. It is a slice-of-life fantasy, where the magic lies in ...

HxH's dark atmosphere, dramatic storytelling, and late 90s/early 2000s anime style will always hold a special place in my heart. HxH deviates from traditional shounen anime or manga formats and includes deep philosophical questions and character analysis. The characters' motivations, conflicts, and developments are much richer than a story focused solely on action.

Sometimes the slow pace of the story can be boring for some viewers. However, this slowness is quite effective in terms of processing the emotional and psychological depths of the characters.
A production that has managed to gain its own unique place in the anime world by avoiding genre clichés. I believe that it ...
