Now if You are new to Anime or Manga you might have heard about the Series Cowboy Bebop. You heard people say stuff like "This Anime is a Master piece" or "This Anime has gave me a new perspective on life". Well you might have wondered why? Well my Friend i will tell about the Plot and its Character and give you an explanation on why Cowboy Bebop is considered a Classic. Hopefully after reading this Review you will give it a Try.

1. Plot and Characters
The Story of Cowboy Bebop takes place in the Future, in the Year 2071. In the First few episodes we ... are Introduced to our first two Protagonist, Spike Spiegel and Jet Black. They Work together as Bounty Hunters, and they are referred to as the Bebop crew. Later in the Series other characters will join the Bebop crew. The Anime is more Episodic than one narrative but sometimes it could have mini Arcs which focused more on Spike backstory and his progression. For other Characters their Backstories are told in one episode or some of them will have their backstories as side plots. In the World of Cowboy Bebop, The other planets in our Solar System like Mars for example are now populated by humans and Earth mostly left abandoned, which is one of my favorite parts of the show. The overall Themes of the Show are existential boredom, loneliness and the Fear of our Past. This show will make you feel emotions that you felt.

2. Animation and Soundtrack.
The Animation and Soundtrack have stood the test of Time and are some of the best out there. Let's start with The Animation,
Directed by Shinichiro Watanabe, The Shows Animation is Fluid and Dynamic. Each fight scene has good choreography, The Characters are moving fast and the Storyboard is excellent. Accompanied with The Soundtrack which is like Jazz but for fighting. My Personal favorite track is Clutch. The Soundtrack is composed by Yoko Kanno and i will say this has to be the best soundtrack of Anime. The Soundtrack consists of jazz, big band and Blues.

3.Overall Thoughts.
I highly recommend this Anime for anyone wanting a new Experience and some time away from the mainstream Anime. If you love Good animation, Great writing and an Excellent Soundtrack then Watch Cowboy Bebop. Until then...

SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY...

Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen was a Great and faithful adaptation of the Inventory Arc and Shibuya incident Arc.

Now first i did watch Jujutsu kaisen season 1 and the Movie before watching season 2. I also read the Manga before the Anime so as a Manga reader of Jujutsu Kaisen i think they nailed the Vibe within these two Arcs. First things i wanna say, is taht the Animation was Top Tier. The Story Board, Lighting and Colors are really what stood out for me. When i first heard that season 2 will have a new animation Director i was worried since Sung Hoo Park ... (The Director of Jjk season 1 and the Movie) Did a Fantastic Job as well. But oh boy was i happy being wrong. But some episodes felt a little rushed like they were unfinished but i'm not complaining, these poor Mappa animators deserve a Vacation. Although there were a few things that i didn't like. For example that sexual scene with Mei mie and her Brother or the last few scenes were the citizens were talking about the Shibuya incident, before Yuta introduction. In the Manga that scene where the Citzens talked felt shorter and i thought that scene with Mei Mei, should be cut out. But with that said i think i had Fun with these weekly episodes and i cried when they adapt Nanami's death. Overall i cannot wait when they adapt the Culling games next season.

8/10

Well first things i wanna say i have never read the Original Manga of Pluto. Neither have i read other Works of Naoki Urasawa. So this was my first time experience. First unlike my other Reviews, I will start with the Negatives. I think what really stood out for me was the Animation. Now don't get me wrong, I am aware that it takes Time to develop the Show but sometimes the Animation kinda looks stiff or when a Character is moving, it will look like their stuck in one place while doing a walk cycle. Sometimes idk when a flashback scene is playing, ... maybe that is on me but overall there wasn't a lot of problems with the Show.

Now for the positives Parts. The Plot and the Characters got me hooked in the first Episode. Gesicht is a cool character man i like how he is serious and calm throughout the Show. He is not just some Badass with Gun for a Hand. Now Atom is a Special character for me because when i was young i used to rewatch Reruns from the 80s Astro boy anime. So seeing him again made me instantly wanna watch the Show. And when i watch Episode 4 i cried man. When someone would ask me my favorite part of the Show is, I would probably say the Plot. Although its nothing Special it really build uo well and got me on the edge of my seat every moment. There were some moments i cried with Gesicht backstory or Adolfs Backstory. Overall i will recommend this to Anyone who wants a short but Thrilling experience.

After a week of watching this Anime, I can safely say that this was a Golden experience. It was an Adventure that I would never expected to enjoy. But after just 1 episode I was hooked. Samurai Champloo was the first the Anime that made feel so empty at the End, and that`s a feeling I haven`t felt ever since I finished Dororo. I think what I really like about this Anime were the Characters. The Dynamic and chemistry of Mugen, Jin and Fuu was build up so well that it made me worried about them. And them Separating at the Last scene, Made me ... one want to cry and hope there will be Season 2. I believe it was also good choice that they went for more of a Episodic approach to the Series and only have mini Arcs. Which means they can Focus on the Characters and show more of their Personality. My favorite Character is Mugen. Not only is he a Badass at Fighting but he is just a fun Character to have. His personality reminds me alot of Roronoa Zoro from One piece which is ironic since he has the Same voice actor as Zoro. Never in any moment did i hate Mugen. Jin was such a chill dude and there is some stuff we can relate to him. Fuu is kinda annoying but its not that bad. For me she was sometimes Sweet and a Person im rooting for and Sometimes i just wanna say to her to shut the fuck up. Like come on don`t tell me you weren`t annoyed when she was kidnapped in the early Episodes. The thing i wanna bring up now is the fight choreography. Not only was it Fluid and Understand but it was also some of the coolest fight scenes i have ever watched in my life. One i can think about is the First Encounter of Mugen and Jin. The Story of the Anime was interesting. The past of Mugen and the Moment when Sara realised her Child is Dead got me really hard. These moments were such tragedies that i had to close my Laptop and think it about more. Although the Ending was not that special and Fuu reaching her Goal, it was still decent ending. But man now I want a Season 2 of this Series. But how can I forget about the Soundtrack. Having Nujabes doing the Soundtrack was such Gods choice moment. Every time I hear the Soundtrack i just Vibe with it. and with that said I highly recommend you this Anime. Not only for having a good Time but just to let you know that this is a Classic.

Yeah so basically i watched the anime when the first episode aired and 4 episodes later it didn`t interest me. Kenshin was almost at the end of the episode to deal with some shit. Yeah the Female was kinda uninteresting and annoying and that young side Character was just a little bitch. honestly maybe when the anime stops airing i`ll probably binge through the whole anime but for now i wll just leave this Review. Its just i believe at this time period the Story is outdated and didn`t age well. Unlike One Piece or any of the two in the Big 3, The Manga ... only had 255 chapters and didn`t last long. Having a long running series will benefit it by adding new elements in each upcoming decades. But since Rurouni was only serialized in the 90s alot of stereotypical Shonen shit stays. The second i think its a bad time for the Reboot of the Anime is because of the Author of the Series. I will not go over on what he has done but with the Crimes he committed i bet no one is interested in the Manga or the Anime. Only like people with nostalgia glasses have interest. My last question is what is the point of the Reboot? I mean sure they can animate this series in better animation with more fluid in it but did someone ever asked that they want a Reboot? Like there is no good reason to make reboot unless its just the purpose of money. One good example of a Reboot i can think of is HUNTERXHUNTER. Because one HUNTERXHUNTER was still serializing, Two they can bring a whole new audience and Three they can adapt it well in Anime format. The way they Adapt Rurouni was kinda stiff to me like the action scenes were kinda slow and some of the scenes transitions were just weak. Anyway in Conclusion i will write a second review after the anime finishes airing which will be like in Winter nad i will give my secons opinion on it.

Holy Mother of Crisis this was Psychology Horror at its Peak. it was my first time watching this Film and I had high expectations for it because my favorite director, Satoshi Kon directed this Film. I saw his work on Tokyo Godfathers and that was a fantastic Anime Film.
And Holy shit my expectations went high and Beyond. The Pacing, Animation, Voice acting and The Plot are just out of this World. In just 3min i got hook. I think what really got me to write the Review is just the Horror aspect of it. The way everything goes quiet and BAM Horror shit. The Antagonist ... was Creepy and it actually gave me sometimes Goosebumps. The way he is Portrayed and the Vibes he gives is just downright disturbing to think someone can actually be like this. Oh yeah realism in this Film is top down accurate. The fear of having someone watching or Someone stealing your Identity is Realistic. I think this Film aged well because the Message that it gives to the viewer is still accurate. Mima character to me is sometimes relatable. Thinking about if you made the Right decisions having felt Guilty and shit is just downright depressing. By the way The Murders of Shibuya Kun and the Photographer (I forgot his name) is Disturbing. The last thing i wanna talk about is the Plot twist at The End. It was Shocking and i was confused but when i think about it Clicks. The Movie is aged like fine wine I couldn`t ask for more.

Rest in Peace Satoshi Kon

Now first things I read Chainsaw Man multiple times in one sitting and i can say that Mappa did a great job on Adapting this "Wtf did i just watch" Show.

Chainsaw Man Airing from beginning to end with each Episode releasing weekly was just all about exciting Moments, Sad moments and especially "Wtf Moments". Im referring to scenes like Denji touching Powers boobs, Himeno seducing Denji, the Barf scene, The assassination of Division 4, Shocking Death scenes and Especially The one with Aki and Denji kicking the Balls of Katana Man.

Mappa really animated these moments well and expanded some extra Fight scenes like Kobeni ... against Katana Man and that Snake girl(i forgot her Name.) The Opening was just hyped up before the Episode began. And the OUTROS where just out of this World but i did not like the ourto the Episode 6 I find it a little Basic. The casting was Solid, it really Suprised to learn about Denji and Aki`s voice actors.

But sometimes for me the CGI was not really good looking like one example was in Episode 8 when Katana Man got Injured from Aki`s attack it just doesn`t really look good. And they didn`t adapt Chapter 2 to the Anime. but it was not a big problem

Overall I am excited for the 2nd season of the Anime and how they will adapt the Bomb Devil Arc.

I might have to rewatch this Movie again. Its not bad or anything i just need to rewatch it and think it about it more. By the Time im writing this Review it was my first experience on Ghost in the Shell. The Positives for me was the Characters and the Concepts. The Concept in the Future were someone can hack your Brain and give you false Memories is such a Terrifying yet interesting Idea to think about. The Main Characters were Great written. Their goals and how they think is unique. Even side characters like Tosuba have an Important Goal.

Now the Negative part ... about the Film was its kinda short. I thought it would atleast be 2 hours long like Akira, but no its just 1hr 22min. I know it has spinoffs and some Anime series, but for a Complex plot especially in this Film is just a little short maybe an extra 30 Minutes will do. I also think Personally that the Antagonist is just not my Type of Villain. For me he is kinda basic compared to Tetsuo from Akira.

But overall the Movie was not a Bad experience i just felt it needed some more Time and maybe give the Antagonist more Development. I think im planning to read the Manga too. But then again i will rewatch it to get another perspective.
