Metallic Rouge captivates viewers with its intriguing premise, stunning visual beauty, and high-quality animation. The frequent action scenes stand out, surpassing mere visual spectacles, as its intelligent and complex narrative offers a gratifying experience for those seeking depth beyond mere adrenaline. Additionally, the scenes are detailed, consistent, and fluid, challenging the usual standards of computer graphics.

In addition to the electrifying action, Metallic Rouge delves into a variety of profound themes, from the role of machines to existential questions such as the fragility of life, eternity, and the pursuit of freedom. The protagonist, Rouge, is a singular and counterpoint figure, grappling with challenges that defy her ...

In most villains of this franchise, we found depth in their background stories. Although this approach wasn't a fixed rule for all anime, I felt that this season needed more of it. This it used to contributed to the complexity of the villains, making them more organic and humanized. This form of development was consistent with the protagonist's evolving vision of considering only Muzan as the true villain, contradicting the perspective of other hunters who saw all onis as malevolent, without considering the victims among them. Furthermore, it used to generate empathy or, at least, a deeper understanding of their motivations. They weren't simply one-dimensional ...

Mixed Feelings
The manga was already restrained and had little focus on fan service, but the anime significantly increased censorship, deeply committing to political correctness, which is disappointing. Furthermore, the tone of the world presented does not align with the apocalyptic atmosphere.

In a scenario where the natural order is established, certain everyday themes should be addressed without restrictions, especially in a work aimed at an adult audience, as it should be in this case. Even in the manga, there was a noticeable reluctance to explore sexual themes, although it made sense in the apocalyptic context. The creators seem to fear criticism and labeling, resulting in moments of ...

The production is consistent and reasonable, but it's in the plot that this season stands out, maintaining a constant intrigue throughout all episodes, surpassing by far the previous seasons. Although the first season has an excellent first half and a disastrous second half, except for the last episode, and the second season presents an exciting final arc, along with some sporadic episodes or scenes, it's in the third season that the quality remains consistently high. However, the climaxes don't reach the same elevated levels as in the other seasons. Nonetheless, there are excellent character and relationship developments, along with the best hook of the work, ...

Watching just one or two episodes, one may not realize how monotonous it can be, especially due to the quality of the characters and their relationships. However, the problem arises when watching more episodes, as the work seems to lose its momentum and offer nothing new.

There is a lack of elements to hold the viewer's attention and encourage them to watch the next episode, making the narrative somewhat monotonous. Although it didn't bother me directly while watching, sometimes it feels like we already know everything that will happen. Although it avoids clichés, the absence of cliffhangers at the end of episodes could make a difference. ...

The computer-generated animation, especially of the 3D monsters, stands out from the rest and is negatively surprising. The presence of rotoscoping in some parts also causes strangeness and tends to be remembered by the audience. Although high-quality animation could change this impression, the impact on the anime would be limited. This choice likely reflects a low budget, considering that the work's proposal does not demand such fluid scenes.

It's understandable to have greater tolerance with Japanese works when they address religious issues, given the poetic freedom and secular culture of Japan. However, an anime that centralizes its plot on religion and makes direct and explicit criticisms ...

Majo to Yajuu (Anime) add
Preliminary (3/12 eps)
This is one of the best animes of the season, as there are thought-provoking mysteries, explosive action and characters with organic motivations. It is also possible to notice that there is a complexity in the motivations. This complexity is not only in the motivations of the protagonists, but also in the motivations of the villains and secondary characters. Furthermore, the plots are also well elaborated, with unexpected, controversial and reflective outcomes.

However, it is a Seinen anime, which should be more mature and well-paced. The fast pace, in which an arc is resolved in one or two episodes, forces the dialogues to be direct, less natural ...

Regarding its central theme, the anime addresses the philosophy of objective morals. It is important to note that, in one of the first episodes of the first season, there is a long philosophical dialogue between Lelouch and Suzaku. Dialogue which highlights Machiavelli's ideas, summarized by the phrase "the ends justify the means". Therefore, the anime could not be more explicit about its themes. Understanding what he wants to talk about, to demonstrate his point as much as possible, the method he uses is the elimination of lives. Therefore, the anime makes the characters kill their people, their allies, their friends, their families, millions of people ...

The anime had a very promising start in terms of romance, but also a bit strange with the introduction of a caricatured, flashy character, surrounded by unlikely things. That said, it didn't focus much on this secondary story about the Frenchwoman Muriel and at one point left this plot completely aside. Another positive point of this beginning is that it made rapid progress in overcoming the Kanetsugu problem, resolving it in a very satisfactory way. Kanetsugu had been introduced at the end of the previous season, being hated by the public, and causing damage to the experience of almost everyone who only watched the first ...

Preliminary (3/24 eps)
In narrative terms, it fulfilled one of my biggest wishes, which was that the gimmicks and euphemisms would be reduced. Characteristics that are present in the first version and that are typical of its time. Well, in the past they made adaptations that seemed almost apart from the original with so many changes, in order to make the works lighter, childish, longer and very authorial by the director. Also, in this new version, they didn't do it in a way that was compressing everything at a rushed pace, as they usually do in remakes. The proof of this is that, in the first three episodes, ...
