The BEST use of 3D I've ever seen in my life.

The First Slam Dunk adapt the final match of the manga, but with the POV of Ryota : His flashback and a lot of bonus scenes were added for the movie to be watchable without even have read the manga.

And EVERYTHING is beautiful in this movie ! : the music, the colors, the sub, the pacing and the storytelling for the story of Miyagi Ryota, the least developed character in the major 5...

I thought the 3D will be weird but it was sublime, dynamic, smooth, the faces were expressive... Sometimes we even forgot the CGI

Even ... though, I deeply recommend to people who haven't read the manga before to read it, (even though the movie is still watchable without it) to have the context of the match and all the stake of this match 🏀🏀

Deserved 10/10 !

Kiriko Nananan wrote us again another master piece

I read Water. months ago, and I had mixed feeling about it, due to some weird atmosphere and some conclusion-less stories.
But Everyday (or Kabocha to Mayonnaise) erased most of the flaws of Nananan's art and style :

The art here is less muddled, even though Nananan kept her special decoupage, charadesign, setting that offer to us a dark yet calm atmosphere, a mixture of the vanity of the everyday life and the soft aftertaste of a romantic relation. . .
Because Nananan always add a pathetic side in her romances, which is here, infidelity,guilt and the ... progressive downfall of the love in the couple, to escape the usual tropes in conventional romance mangas/josei

I personally used to use the term "Dark romance" to talk about Nananan's works but it rather "realistic love" of which her works (so Everyday) are about
It's still a personal feeling, but Nananan way of writing reminds me a lot Kate Chopin and her feminist tragic romances.

It's a hard story to read if you aren't used to romances and """adult"""" mangas in general, but I hope that the curious will fall for one the best romance writer of the manga-sphere
Solid 9/10

[TLDR] Very fine for an axed manga

Moebana was a pleasant reading, the art wasn't perfect at all and the story is very simple, but I liked the ambiance

+ It's very rare to see a story about Ikebana (usually there're sport clubs in mangas)

But I don't reccomand it if you search a complex story with appealing character and multiple plots, Moebana is just a simple story about teenagers making cute flower arrangements. Very sad that the manga was axed. I put a 6/10 but if it continued at this rate, I would surely have put Moebana a 7 or 8

If you want to read a manga that make you think, you should try Neji no Hitobito

Neji no Hitobito is a short manga about philosophy, yep that seems strange but this is cut by episodic chapters that aboard philosophic concepts such as identity, values, work, love or the use of thinking

But even if the context is interesting, the form is kinda weird, with unnecessary/forced romances or fanservice tropes

The manga brought me some way of thinking I never apprehend and that's cool, I also liked some metaphors and some non-philosophical subjects evoked.

The bad points are the art, kind of basic ans sometimes mediocre, even if ... it's still readable.
Personally, I disliked some subjects because I wasn't agree or because the conclusion brought by the author was weird

If you want to discover some cogito and ways of thinking, It's a good manga for you, if you aren't interested in philosophy, I don't recommand you to read that !

Water. is a compilation of short stories which explores sexuality and females feelings, with a unique and minimalistic art, with photos and a lot of metaphors.

Each chapter talk about love in many ways : one chapter deals with lesbian legitimity, an other abords sex traumatism, toxic relationship, non-reciprocal love, jealousy, crushes... All with a sad/melancholic atmosphere.

I'm not into this "almost avant-garde" vibe and romance theme but it can be interesting for reader looking for dramatic love with unique art. -> A lot of chapter were too short or without conclusion.

I don't recommand this anthology for the story but for the art (meticulous decoupage, contrast, simple ... but cool charadesign,some real-life photos which illustrate well and good-looking panels)

Colorful is a wonderful movie, must-watch anime

Colorful abords importance of life and life's little pleasures, from the view of a lonely stray boy.

Makoto, the protagonist, must learn to appreciate life despite the sadness who surround him, he may reembrace the life for 6 months. Despite the simple plot, the movie stages this very well.
The movie is meaningful and touching, I love the way the protagonist faces all the obstacles, I also love the secondary characters, they're realistic and represents to each one a way of seeing things.

To conclude, you should watch this touching movie, the only negative point I found is that the ... movie is badly paced, despite that, It's a beautiful movie whoch can you learn a lot of life lesson

(NB : Shouko Sano does not deserve anything that happened to her, she so precious)

Fascinating and beautiful!

At first, I was mixed towards this movie, despite the beautiful colours and the fluid animation, the characters seemed cliché, between the shy boy and the cute Mary-sue, but in the end this anime nicely surprised me.

The film tells a beautiful romance (realistic even if at times far-fetched) setting up an extrovert-introvert relationship, both side having complexes and passions, well set up in the story, mixing poetry, self-conscious and self confidence.

I really appreciate the colourful graphic style which makes it really warm and bright, also I found the charadisgn are good.

I know some people don't find this movie perfect, but it's VERY pleasant ... to watch and makes a very good anime starter for begginer, it's not the perfect anime but it deserves in my opinion the mark of 10 because it's a masterpiece.

Criminally underrated | A perfect romance for begginers

[Spoilerless]

Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu (I will just call it Nakitai for the review) surpised me, I didn't expect such a good movie.

The beginning is not incredible, it's just a classic romance/slice of life school life
Then the setting of the surnatural element (at the first 1/4 of the movie) makes the movie interesting

The surnatural element isn't perfect but it's really good and original, I found Nakitai quite unique. The plot is basic but the characters aren't : characters express itself step by step throughout the film and develops smoothly, even if they're a little cliché
...
The art and sound are the biggest highlight of the movie, for a slice of life movie, the art is almost perfect.

To conclude, even if the story isn't perfect, this movie is ideal to intruduce you into romance or anime in general

Story : 7/10
Art : 10/10
Sound : 10/10 (I watch it in french dub btw)
Character : 8/10
Enjoyment : 9/10

A WASTED potential

-Spoil-

Black Fox have a cool start plot, amazing art style/charadesign and a OK animation for a standalone movie, but the movie seems imcomplete.

There're a lot of imcomplete/irresolved plot point, and the movie seems to be a prequel/introduction to another movie, that doesn't exist. -> The movie end with a cliffhanger and the final scene, which is supposed to be a try of an open ending, is failed.

The dynamics betweens characters are extremely basic and they'all have stereopytical attitude (the characters aren't complex at all, they aren't flat or emotionless, but they're too basics)

But the visual art and the OST are pretty good, ... it's not incredible, but it's very good

Cl : The movie is bad if it's just a standalone movie, idk yet if a sequel is planned, that's a shame because the universe have a potential wasted.

Story : 6
Art : 8
Sound : 8
Character : 2
Enjoyment : 4

[NO SPOIL]
Among Us manga exist.. Yes.

It's a gag one-shot based of the video game "among us"

It's just a classic game, with 5 players with an impostor among them.

Crewmates tries to find the impostor while the impostor must kill everyone by being discreet.

[Story] It's a gag manga for kids, in addition to being a one-shot of 17 pages, so story doesn't really matter.
...
[Art] Meh, even for chibi characters, it's not very impressive. "Among Us" doesn't stand out by it design

[Character] No character development, it's a 17-pages one shot. It's cool that we can differentiate all crewmates btw.

[Enjoyment] Jokes are OK, not hilarious but still funny, portraying elements of the game with accuracy is a good point.

[Conclusion] Honestly, this one-shot isn't the best of the world and sometimes too childish, but for a short gag one-shot, it's worth to read.

Don't expect a grandiose work, but rather a funny gag-manga to read to pass the time
