From the very first page, "Dorohedoro" immerses you in its bleak, gloomy, and almost post-apocalyptic world. This dark setting combined with such a skillfull and distinct artsyle, Dorohedoro is able to show the world perfectly and creating an experience none can replicate. Dorohedoro excels at creating a world brimming with amazing characters that are great on their own, but shines due to their chemistry with each other. Added with its respectable humor and a tolerable amount of gore and violence, Dorohedoro is a great manga for most.

Although, Dorohedoro aren't without its flaws, especially on the storytelling side. Dorohedoro can be challenging to follow at times, ... due to its tendency to drag conflicts and mysteries to unnecessary lengths. This makes keeping track of whats happening in world rather tough, and may even requires readers to read past chapters. In addition to the lack of a well-defined power system, Dorohedoro could be a struggle to finish.

To put it simply, Dorohedoro is a respectable manga with great wordlbuilding and cast of characters that truly shines through their chemistry, but becomes quite demanding to continue and even more challenging to finish due to the story's poor pacing. Nonetheless, Dorohedoro is definitely worth a read, but finishing it is not an easy task.

"Colorless" is a groundbreaking manga that employs "color" as more than just a visual element, rather a powerful narrative device. This approach adds layers of meaning to each panel where color appears, creating a immersive experience. Further enhanced by the gritty and harsh environment, bringing the world to life in a way that feels both vivid and bleak. With its exceptional world-building and storytelling, "Colorless" stands out as a work of respectable quality.

However, every great story needs a compelling antagonist, and this is where "Colorless" falls short. The antagonist’s actions are predictable and lack depth, though this is somewhat offset by the characters' clever ... ways of confronting them. The fight scenes are a highlight, beautifully choreographed and structured - though a bit difficut to follow - helps tie everything together with some action.

One of the manga’s more frustrating aspects is its tendency to leave too much unexplained. The story introduces interesting side characters and concepts but fails to develop them fully, leaving them feeling abandoned. While this might be acceptable for casual readers, it can be disappointing for those who want to dive deep into the story and its characters.

Without its unique use of "color" as a storytelling tool, "Colorless" might end up being just another manga with a decent plot. Yet, this creative choice elevates the entire reading experience, making "Colorless" a memorable and impactful work.

To put it into one sentence, this anime is just a bunch of common anime characters traits (that we've seen everywhere already), interacting with each other in a really nice and comforting kind of way.

The way these stereotypical anime characters interact with each other lights up a little fire in my heart. It's nothing complicated or anything, but that simplicity makes this a nice little anime. For me personally, the anime is also somewhat relatable and has some nice moments to it. Talking comedy wise the anime is kind of stupid, but in a kind of funny way.

Sadly, the characters is literally just anime tropes ... put into a character. So a character in this anime has the personality of that anime trope, jammed into the maximum. Sure they're interactions and reactions make for some of it, but the dialogue tends to sometimes feel shallow and just dumb. This anime doesn't have many fan service (and I think it doesn't need it), but when it does it either feels uncomfortable or just totally unnecessary. Also, the story tends to steer farther and farther from its first plot point, which does pay off later on, but while watching it you just forget about it and feels like watching a different anime, which makes the first few episodes feels not needed there.

Bads:
- Characters are just a bunch of niche and stereotypical anime characters
- Uncomfortable and unnecessary fan service
- Steers further and further away from the first main plot

Good:
- Character interactions and reactions (Dialogue is a meh)
- The genuine feeling and cute moments shared through the anime
- Rather stupid, but in a funny way

A solid series with a very interesting premise. By using famous and well known stories this series managed to create a sense of comfort and familiarity. And by putting a twist on said stories which breaks those comfort adds an emmensely interesting selling point. The art are solid, nothing special about it but nothing about it either. Of course it only has been 3 chapters, and there's still time to grow (or fall). Absolutely recommend to really anyone out there, and I have pretty high expectations for this series.
note: I really love the main cast (the brothers), even if it's only 3 ... chapters long right now

If Naofumi from shield hero were to found op friends and was a foodie. That's how I would explain this show. The series is a great example of a food series inside of a fantasy settings. Really love how they were able to make use of the new ingredients that was avaible to them and somehow made them into familiar foods. Also, the cast is absolutely incredible the way their personalities interact with each other has made me laugh and smile way to much. One con is that it's kind of unrealistic and honestly stupid how the MC got everything handed on to him. ... Sure the story is very general and predictable, but who cares? The series manages to still have a story that kinda sucks but still create an enjoyable show. Absolutely recommend this show for a nice little breath of fresh air!

The art, the character design, the world building, the character interactions, the fights, and everything about this manhua is gorgeous. Everything except the MC. To be exact, what I meant is the development of the MC. How the MC grows as a character, how the MC learn new things, how the MC become stronger, how the MC rise in ranks, and so on and so forth. The way this manhua portraits the way it shows the advancement the progress of the MC is, if its have to be expressed in one word, irritating. It feels like everything is going along the MC's way and ... plan. THe MC just gets everything handed out to them so just like that. Oh the MC wants that x? Here it is given to them. Oh the MC wants y? Here let me give them some random cenario that coincidentally gives them y. This is so irritating, it is so annoying, it is just a gigantic pain in the ass. Every single things goes according the MC's way.

Even with all the trash talk, I strongly recommend this manhua. Every thing else that isn't about the MC's progress on this manhua is great. I would definitely recommend this for a fun silly little read.

Wouldn't really recommend this manga to a new manga fan. Or i guess i wouldn't really recommend it to anyone really. Calling the art as disgusting sounds a bit to rude, but i guess i have to be honest with myself. The one and sole reason i dropped this manga is purely by the art, and the art only. I have to say that the story itself is actually quite interesting and also the character seems like very interesting people. But the art... I just can't keep reading something that makes my eyes hurt. Reading this makes me uncomfortable, it makes me feel things i ... don't really wanna feel.

To be perfectly honest, Abara could be a great read if you're either a hardcore manga fan or someone that's just use to reading this kinda of stuff. overall i can't really rate that high because i didn't really had such a good experience with it.

What the actual fuck did i just fucking read. The human mind can really make some fascinating stuff huh. Man, this shit is bonkers

I'm just, speechless i don't know what to say. It's confusing and complex but also has everything you need for a manga like this. Cool transformation, cool powers, the death of uncountable people, and devils and shit.

Characters, the motherfucking characters these set of characters are just hands down fabulous. You may hate one and end up liking them or the other way around. And of course you can also start to really like a certain character and then they literally ... die in the next chapter by some dude that also dies in the same fucking chapter.

Overall, a little confusing for my puny human brain but it's still definitely an enjoyable experience

This series filled a hole in my chest, and that hole is called chaos. This anime is one of the best ways for you to experience the feeling of overpowered force. If i were to rate this anime by purely the sense of chaos and guns it would definitely be a 10/10.

Sadly and thankfully this anime is not just pure chaos. Sure, pure obliteration would be pretty exciting to watch , but it would be kind of repetitive pretty fast. Personally I enjoyed the fact that with so many opportunities they had, it decided to not indulge itself to fan-service. I’m not saying ... that there is no fan-service, they definitely exist here and there, they’re just not the most abundant thing.

I was honestly expecting a full on intense gunshots and boom bam bing everywhere, and did that went down instantly. This was a nice little break from all the overly dramatic romance and the hundreds of thousands of screaming and training montages out there. It’s nice and comfortable also gave me a few good laughs

I’m not the biggest fan of the ending, well i guess I'm just not a fan of “Hopeful” type endings. Sure they can definitely work sometimes but usually they just become an unfinished and realistically sad mess. And also cliffhangers, like can you just finish the fucking series instead of making a season 2. I get it though they money and shit
