This can't be it. 30 volumes, all seemingly wrapped up, yet there is something within most of us readers which asks for a lot more. There is still something left to be desired, a wrap up that can be... more satisfactory, I guess? Leaves enough to be desired, but not enough to aptly articulate.

A part of me actually understands why things ended this way. Gege worked on this highly successful, highly popular manga for almost 7 years, week after week, sacrificing their health and peace of mind to release chapters to the public - facing work-related pressure, criticism from readers and nitpicking from critics. However, ...

This one is fun. It's technically where it all started, to be fair.

I don't have a lot to say about it, since it wasn't a particularly long one. I initially thought this was a spin-off of the widely popular Jujutsu Kaisen - was wrong about that. Know this : you have to read this manga before the big daddy if you do not want to be somewhat confused during the second half of the sequel; for one, they bring back characters like Miguel and Larue.

Basically, Jujutsu Kaisen (that one) is a direct sequel of this work.

Anyway, about the manga. What can I say, it's ...

Look Back (Anime) add
What could've been, is just a fantasy. What has been, is reality. When, if at all, will we finally cross over to our own realities?

Life is full of regrets. It is regret that holds us back, and it is regret that can power us to keep moving forever on.

"Maybe I could've done better."
"Maybe I could've acted differently."
"Maybe I could've changed what happened."
"Maybe."

Had Fujino never urged Kyomoto to leave her room, she would not have ended up the way she did. Had she never gone into her house, they never would have met, and Fujino could have potentially saved her. In regret the mind wallows, and ...

"The sound of the Gion Shoja temple bells echoes the impermanence of all things; the color of the sala flowers reveals the truth that the prosperous must decline. However.. we are the exceptions."

ABSOLUTE. CINEMA. And I don't say that lightly.

Is Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 a true masterpiece? Maybe not : it really is up to perspective. Is it a spiritual masterpiece in my eyes, no matter its flaws? Absolutely. Coming off the heels of the highly acclaimed Season 1 and the JJK0 movie, there were a lot of expectations tied to this continuation. Be it the animation, the storyline, the music, the characters - it ...

Coming off the sheer beauty that was Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1, Jujutsu Kaisen 0, while technically a prequel, had humongous shoes to fill. It seemingly had to clear the equivalent of a world record pole vault, and clear it, it did. Be it the animation, the story (adapted from the manga that actually preceded Jujutsu Kaisen), the new characters or the soundtrack - Every aspect of the movie was absolute brilliance. Working on a movie budget, the quality was only multiplied.

Gojo being racist was on full disp- nope, off topic.

Yuuta is an interesting character. His circumstances have definitely shaped how wimpy, or rather, scared for ...

Jujutsu Kaisen is like a breath of fresh air, not because it has a "unique" storyline or insanely compelling characters, but just because of how well it's handled. Characters are either grounded or caricatures, and there being no middle ground actually helps the show. Absurd and regular, weird and badass, all blend due to their shared trait - the ability to see curses, and (somewhat) fight them.

With some of the most iconic scenes and characters in the past few years, including the genius Aoi Todo with his perfectly believable IQ of 530,000, one can definitely understand the appeal of this show. It pulls the viewer ...

To put it as simply as one can - the sheer brilliance of Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood, that which made it the favourite child of the anime community for seemingly forever, has overshadowed how good the original story, and anime itself, actually was. Fullmetal Alchemist is a much darker tale in its essence, and past the basic plot of Brotherhood and some early storylines, is vastly different. Where Brotherhood seeks to tell a legendary tale, the original prefers to put the human tendency to unnecessarily obsess on the past, and sometimes on the future, on display.

Acknowledging how different the two are, I shall try not ...

"Why do I run? If I go forward, I feel like something will change. Even just a little bit."

A common trope in most psychologically genred media, with "heavy" plotlines, seems to be how the true monster resides within humans. 'Who is the true monster here - the devils that exist as they should, or the humans that kill innocents for their own righteousness?'

Devilman: Crybaby fits into that side of media. It is a flawed show, no doubt, but whatever it does good, it does fantastically. Whether it be the occasional rap it throws into its episodes to convey what it feels like to ...

Buddy Daddies (Anime) add
Is Buddy Daddies an "Action" show, as described by the genre it is associated with on this website? Not really. Is it a great show about the ups and downs of parenting in a household where bloodshed puts food on the table? Absolutely.

This show, definitely, is a twist on the plot of SpyxFamily, where now, both parents are hitmen, and the child quite literally forces her way into their lives rather than being adopted. The story itself is set in modern-day Japan rather than a World War Europe-esque landmark.

Maybe it is the, though limited, action scenes that popularised the show? No, but they ...

Mashle (Manga) add

"Magic, destined only to breed conflict, is now, for the first time, a tool to unite us, all thanks to one boy."

Is Mashle a deep tale of trust, love, betrayal, friendship, acceptance and power? Occasionally. Is it good? Absolutely.

Mashle is a comedy manga, which, by itself, does not convey much about its quality. After all, comedy and humour are subjective.

What the manga does good is that it constantly toes the line between "inspired" and "copied", and never throughout the story does it ever feel truly ripped off. The entire layout of Easton is based on Hogwarts (Harry Potter). Innocent Zero's jailbreak is ...
