A late bloomer like me got into this show when the show was at its peak when the show had already had 3 seasons, and I started the manga and the anime at the same time and I was amazed. I thought there wasn’t even going to be a show that stands up against the like of Naruto but this show proved its worth and stole the hearts of teenagers of this era. From people calling it the future of the shounen genre and the bringer of the succeeding age group, “Boku No Hero Academia” or most commonly known as “My Hero Academia”. Written and
...
illustrated by Kōhei Horikoshi this is one show that needs no introduction whatsoever, a show that has seen both its fair share of both haters and lovers, from it being promoted by the makers of Naruto and being called “just a child’s shounen jump” the show has seen it all.
Studio Bones as always has done a great job at the adaptation part but as a manga reading I look up to the anime visuals that bring life to characters, and somehow it feels like after every season the show is losing its edge completely.
My Hero Academia is a well-made, standard shounen anime that have lived up to the expectations of many.
Story ~ 6
The world is set up in the future where tech is not far from our own, where many people are just born with strange superpowers and alterations and oddities. The story is as always solid but somewhat gloomy and leaden, unsustainable but pleasant. The series is dense enough to make the viewers binge the whole show in about 2 days. The story in some way has become clichéd. From a fan’s view, this show has become way predictable and even more dreary and boring. As the show has always been, it focuses on the lives of students who train themselves to fend off super-powered corruption as specialized vigilantes and the show has been the same since. Unlike other shows like One Piece, The Promised Neverland (Season 1 and the Manga), Dr. Stone, Black Clover, and Blue Exorcist the premise of the show hasn’t changed much in these upcoming years and staying true to its storyline and unlike One Punch Man, it does not critique the concept of protectors and hero’s because it doesn’t really need to.
Animations ~ 8
The animations for the show have never let people down whether it be fight scenes or showing emotions they are impressively animated. Studio Bones does a phenomenal job at putting up with such clean and crisp visuals in its fight scenes showcasing itself as a powerhouse when it some to animations and art style from the makers of the studio that gave us the sweet and extraordinary FMAB (Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood), Ouran Host Club, Soul Eater and Mob Psycho 100, I expected nothing less, as they’ve always undergone a superfluous mile in their adaptations. The movements and show boarding of characters are more than impressive as they are drawn so vividly but some scenes show feel a little left behind as well as it gets messier and more intense which is a little painful to the eyes. However, there are other hero’s at the academy that the show visualizes that pick up the pace and the series is not bound to any infinite range of wacky story and pacing.
Sound ~ 7
The music for “Boku No Hero Academia” has always been uplifting and this season’s opening is no different from the previous ones as it stands out again “No. 1” by DISH. Although I like the ending more “Footprints” by the Peggies is a classic that sticks like a symphony in the mind, nothing short of “The Peggies ” although, I’ll always prefer “The Day” by Porno Graffiti as one of the best openings of the show.
Character ~ 7
Though the anime slams the nails when it comes to tough character designs out of the gate, the story revolves around the main character Izuku MIdoriya or Deku who’s not born with powers much like Asta’s from “Black Clover”. He is feeble, frail, and timid, who unlike the other characters yearns with every inch of his might to save people with just a grin and smile, like his idol “All Might”. ‘All Might’ who’s your classic anime superman justice campaigner, who is super strong and gifted with uncanny fortitude and is the world’s greatest hero. Instead of fighting with our main protagonist, he chooses him as a successor of his. Deku’s main thing is breaking through his psychosomatic barriers and physical boundaries to win by the skin of his teeth, and the message that the show delivers every time that “children have the power to change, remake and save the world.” Still remains.
Overall ~ 6
At the end of the day is indeed beautiful, though it has become shallow and predictable. From its first debut in 2016 my Hero Academia has been a huge success all over the world mostly around North America and the western parts of the world. The only thing keeping the show from dying is the sheer ubiquity of how big the franchise has become. A lot of people still love this series and me being one of them but one way or another I just don’t want to keep up with the anime anymore as I did before when the show was at its best in the prior seasons. Taking a look at the bigger picture, I realized how ordinary and unpretentious the show has become, it is undeniably overhyped like many other shows but it has its sincerity as well and it deserves almost most of it. I personally think the show is a huge accomplishment and has achieved so much all across the world but in the recent season I just don’t see it, and I sigh at the foundation of what the show could’ve become and not how much it has accomplished.
If you’re looking for big emotional changes and fights and scenes where young boys put all their spirits into fists for the sake of honor and to make their dreams come true of being the best and fighting with their Nakamas, this show is definitely for you.

While I was recklessly searching for romance anime to watch, I end up finding Fruit’s Basket, so as for most shows I watch I decided to binge this show as well. At first, I wasn’t very interested in the whole premise of the show and wanted to drop it until I decided to power through the whole show and blimey me, I got hooked instantly. A title that does not sound catchy or witty pulled through in an impressive. Written and illustrated by Natsuki Takaya, the show has been released worldwide across the globe in many different languages, the show originally began in 2001 and
...
it has been 20 years of the legacy of this anime and is considered to be one of the best romance anime’s out there standing up with big titles like ~ “Clannad, Horimiya, Anohana, Toradora, Your Lie In April, Kaichou Wa Maid Sama and Oregairu (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU)”.
I’ve always been a big fan of the genre ‘Slice Of life’ and if you add ‘Romance’ into the mix, I’m hooked. The show is one of the most genuine, heartfelt, vibrant, and niftiest works I’ve ever seen. Starting of resilient with all of its love plots, characters, and story which are the strongest parts of this anime. Weaved and lamented in such a beautiful way, the story does not get any brilliant and exceptional. A simple yet so mature story that lives up to its hype, and I’m so glad that the show is back.
Story ~ 10
The story revolves around the high school student Tohru Honda who’s basically too good and upright for any person, also the leading role in this tale. Who finds herself in a family where a household where people have an obscenity that basically makes them change into animals of their zodiacs when hugged which sounds weird in the first prospect but trust me it’s not just a fantasy ordeal but instead is a drama, slice of life romance that piques the curiosity of many people and that’s why the community relates to it so much. As the story continues the Tohru meets more people of the zodiac and learns about their dark pasts. With a plot like that it’s really hard not to get invested in a show of such caliber. The show has been a great success all over the world despite how weird its storyline, the show has amazed people to it being called the best romance of all time.
The quality, pacing, and heart-wrenching moments all together hit every mark effortlessly and allow the viewers to relive and experience the previous seasons and move right into the new storyline.
Animations ~ 9
The animations from Fruits Basket give me a good nostalgia trip from “Clannad”, everything from the backgrounds to the character models and designs feels to notch. The scene transitions are smooth but not flawless but that is not even close to a down sight, the animations sometimes feel a little rusty and out of place but the flow from scene to scene effortlessly and without any unforeseen changes that are meant to catch viewers off-guard. The movie brings viewers up rapidly with what emerged in the past while also canvases a stunning picture for the world and the characters within it. TMS studios have done a commendable job just like its last ones from “Dr. Stone, Megalo Box, Kamisama Hajimemashita and Detective Conan, Relife, Kanojo Okarishimasu ” and many more that have been good both visually and painterly. They delivered.
Characters ~ 9
For any and every anime there is out there, characters are the core of the show, they are the layers that hold the show together and how they’ve worked together so far in breaking the curse of the family. Throughout the show, we meet a lot of people and see a lot of their desolation and the things that they are dealing with something that none of them are used to or the elements that fuel them. Despite everything in the show, there is more to every character there is that meets the eye, you get an experience of every character’s back story and what they’ve experienced, been through and what they have felt and the source of their pain and sorrow or something that can be amended. This show portrays beautifully that there is something about some people and what caused them certain dramas and how they’ve built themselves throughout the show. Although a lot of this series charm does in fact come from the sweetheart herself Tohru and how she meets, greets, and how her relationship changes with people.
Sound ~ 8
This season’s opening is way different from the rest, “Pleasure” by WARPs UP feels electric and feels like I might just sit back, relax and just vibe to it. Although I prefer the older ones, this one is quite the jam to put on and just lets it flow until it starts echoing in your mind for a long time.
Overall ~ 10
In all its seriousness and pride this show has been a marvel, this has been an amazing series to watch week by week. In all its majesty, glory, and splendor this show has been phenomenal so far as it had been before. But something and somewhere it struck me that the only very few shows now that want to touch on topics on more serious topics mostly left isolated by humans. The show’s representation of bipolar disorders and its fantasy tolerances Fruits Basket has shown it all. Hiding deep within a message of sorrow, guilt, pain, and love this anime excels in showing them flawlessly and in an astonishing way.
A journey that’s almost 20 years is finally going to end this year, just like another favorite franchise of mine “Evangelion” but I’m not sad for this is the end but happy for how it has been a beautiful journey.
If you crave Romance and Slice of Life this just might be the next best thing for you. Definitely worth the watch!

I’ve watched a lot of anime all these years, but some hit differently. Many shows can move your mind utterly and truly in an unbelievable fashion like “Violet Evergarden, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, Orange, Plastic Memories, Maquia When the Promised Flowers Bloom, Angel Beats, Ano Hana, Clannad After Story and many others that have endings that people wouldn’t consider fulfilling and unjust for an ending. This is one of them, “Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso” or most commonly known as “Your Lie In April” is a tragic love story written by Naoushi Arakawa, directed by Naoushi Arakawa and scripted by Takao Yoshioka.
...
I watched this anime in my early days of watching anime and oh my gosh! I was hooked instantly. From the fair share of dull and gloomy anime’s that I was watching at that point, this anime changed my perspective instantly. From thinking that watching anime is a waste of time to “I can’t stop watching anime”, I got so hooked that I finished it within a day, and craved for more. I can say without a doubt that this is one of the finest anime shows out there stunning and beautiful in its own way of lifestyle that I have encountered in my life.
Story ~ 10
To be fair and honest the first few episodes seemed really gray and simple to me, the only thing that I found interesting was the melodious pieces of music that I bump into while watching the anime. Then comes the part where the anime either breaks you or makes you stringing together or fabricating lines in your mind and your heart and slowly becoming a part of you as you progress through it, breaking your heart into fragments and retorting parts of it together. The arrangement of the story is much more than an uncharacteristic romance themed anime. The main characters are rather lovesick with someone, but their remnants of love remain unfulfilled, because their loved one has feelings for someone else. The bulk of the show takes the characters feelings, ethics and integrities as they use poetic metaphors to define their emotions and development what happens around them. The story unfolds slowly with 22 episodes and takes a year in the characters’ lives unfolding and revealing new secrets and takes each character through a vision to each one’s backstory.
Animations ~ 9
The anime is indeed excellent. The animations are flawless, smooth and simply sublime all at the same time. The scenes act up quick and switching in between scenes feel suave and easy. The way the backgrounds feel when Kaori and Kousei play their violin and piano respectively feels like you’re there with them in the audience listening to the symphony yourself although the show lacks showing the perfect feelings and emotions on the face of the characters while showing true intentions and emotional state when they share them with others.
Music ~ 10
The strongest part about this anime is the music that it has. Standing up to the likes of “Hibike Euphonium, K-On, Beck, Nodame Cantaible and Nana, the story about a piano prodigy, who is having problems and can no longer play the piano after the death of his mother, up until he meets Kaori the free and lively violin player. For me this is nothing but short of a magnum opus. The sweet moments that are spoken in a foremost key moniker with an energetic tempo premeditated to conquer and seize to make the viewer’s laugh. I am a big fan of classical music Mozart, Orchestras and such but I’ve never heard such compositions in my life, this anime stands up to the greats of Nana and Beck. I guess my ingenuity in music makes me a sucker for this kind of music but it is nothing short of amazing. Each and every slice of fragment is wisely chosen from “Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata” to Chopin’s Ballade. The openings and endings add a seraph to the main story.
Characters ~ 9
The talents, merits and qualities of each and every character are written in such a fashion that it makes the audience totally relate to them and their story. The fortitude, tranquility and serenity the liveliness of each character and their narrations are expressed beautifully whether be it on the stage or in between the scenes or by their background notch. I feel somewhat sorry for characters for being subjected to such misery at a young age and also cruelty in the name of piano training. Although I really appreciate the character developments in this anime inspite the fact that they have suffered such tragedy’s. Armia is that relevant anxious, insecure high schooler, whereas his friend Watari a cool dude, who’s also a womanizer, Kaori who’s excessively sparkling, charming and attractive, and Tsubaki who’s an athletic awkward jock. The tale mostly goes through the perspective of Armia Kousei the main protagonist of the whole story.
Overall ~ 10
I should not compare this show to any because very story is different from the other but this anime tells a tale about two young people who fall in love and are bound to each other for eternity same as many anime’s but eventually holds a sad theme of “All Good Things Must Come to an End” like Clannad and Anohana and Plastic Memories. I don’t’ cry usually but when you watch something like this you are eventually moved to the core. I loved every part of how the anime decided to show an orthodox style with such a simple and modest protagonist and a girl in love. However as the show moves on you realize that you have barely scratched the surface and you have yet to witness something truly exceptional.
The anime is most certainly incredible and definitely worth your time and the characters are flawless as well as the script which is perfectly woven in steadily in stunning lines; lines on love and the delicateness of life. Can you really ask any less from a show? I’m not sure if you can.
If you’re looking for something pure, unconditional romance and music that will move you and touch your soul then this is undeniably your cup of tea.

Have you ever watched something heart-moving and so breathtaking and saddening at the same time that you can’t pinpoint your emotions to any extent. Yeah, that’s what a slice of life anime does to you and this movie does that for you a complete supply of a touching story with a tint of drama and slice of life in it is already amazing. Violet Evergarden stands out as a gorgeous finale for the entire series, with such a compelling story and characters and scenes that move you to the core to the point that you can just sit back there and feel amazed and baffled
...
at the same point that is when you know that the show is touching your soul. The movie brings viewers up to rapidly with what emerged in the past while also canvases a stunning picture for the world of automatic dolls that can be used for both human tools and for war by the military to assist the lives affecting them properly and the lives of those around them.
Story ~ 10
Violet Evergarden is an orphan who’s been raised to be a rock-solid soldier and nothing more than a weapon to be yielded in war. Given as a gift to Major Gilbert, violet enters war at a young age. The stories in themselves are influential, which makes a big difference as it is all the more frustrating that it feels almost as if they are three individual episodes that have been put together. But ultimately, it is all but a minor complaint on my part as each tale can hit different emotional developments. The movie primarily follows Violet throughout the movie, giving all the viewers a grand idea of how this “Automatic Doll” is struggling and persevering to find herself while also discovering a path for the future.
The only problem I had with all these stories that were put together that they were a sentimental story that I can’t handle as a person and every single part hits differently, and they feel as if they are incoherent from the others but they are not supposed to be.
Animations ~ 10
I have never in my whole time period of watching anime have ever doubted Kyoto Animation as it has always struck hard when it came to animations as it is considered to be one of the powerhouse studios of animations. The character's facial expressions and backgrounds for the environments popping on the screen. Violet Evergarden has everything going for it when it comes to its art style nobody can say otherwise. The graphics shown are crisp and flawless and silky, and the moviemaking is just artistic in its scene alterations. The scenes of the movie flow from scene to scene effortlessly and without any unforeseen changes that are meant to catch viewers off-guard. Furthermore, the anime’s demonstration of design is masterful like I’ve never seen in any mainstream anime before, capturing the emotions of the characters perfectly and displaying the tear-jerking moments fluidly this movie is definitely a slick one. Kyoto Animations does a phenomenal job to keep up to the expectations of the watchers with the likes of exquisite art style from series like Clannad, Full Metal Panic, Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!, K-on and Haruhi Suzumiya, and many others that I’ve watched. Thank you Kyoto Animations for the astounding job that they did with the movie.
Sound ~ 8
I am not a big fan of the music in this anime but it’s a symphony that tells a tale about a sad story that has happened or is about to come which makes it even sadder to some extent. Composed by Karasawa, Miho, the song ‘WILL’ is strong and is catchy as well. While both the openings and endings have their own set of keys they portray standalone classical music pieces, often retaining the simple yet strong violin leads that are beautiful.
Characters ~ 10
For those who’ve not yet watched any of the contributions of the franchise, the so-called Violet was originally a warrior for her land, who afterward falls in love with her superior “Gilbert”. The movie mainly follows Violet during the course of the movie, giving all the viewers a brief view of the “Automatic Dolls” character who is not fit for the roles that she has been assigned, stressed, and determined to find herself while also determining a pathway for the imminent. We have our beautiful yet emotionally and tangible orphan person who’s just a mere tool for the upcoming war from a young age. The young lady grows up to be slightly unemotional and seems to be passive without any love or affection for her.
The main motivation of Violet is that she is always endeavoring to discover herself to find out who she is and what place does she hold in this world.
Overall ~ 10
The movie is an absolute spectacle showing how it is a love letter to the anime community and how it does a commendable and outstanding job of placing both its viewers and newcomers together to an absolute blast of emotions and a prodigious story-telling. Some may say it’s too depressing, some may say that they weren’t satisfied don’t listen, just watch it on your own you’ll own if the anime is stirring your feelings. Yet another story influenced by war and moved by people looks on how the world should be and the loss of their special ones in war. The execution is flawless and that it is actually one of the most compelling anime out there. It deeply moves viewers with its breathtaking visuals and cheeky emotional breakdowns that occur throughout the story. The imagination that this anime brings up is beyond belief and it takes you to inherit some types of feelings that cannot be comprehended.
This is a mature anime that speaks to its audience about life and how complicated and tangled it is, yet how beautiful and painful and tragic it can be at the same time.
Is it worth the watch?
Absolutely.

This past season of anime has been full of adventures, romance, and a bit of strangeness, with the likes of Attack On Titan, Horimiya, and now Redo of the Healer as we have drawn curtains on this action, comedy, shounen adventure show “Black Clover”. This particular anime has stood out as an example of hope during the gloomy snowy days, since it started giving an adventure shounen with a different type of storytelling it’s been quite the journey of 170 episodes. “Black Clover” is an anime series that has been written and illustrated by Yuki Tabata, if you liked “Fairy Tale” then I’m sure you’ll
...
love this show as well as for rooting for the underdog characters this show is the one for you if you’re into that.
The show began in 2017, the first few episodes showing the character and protagonist Asta, a brash yet modest peasant without any powers nor capabilities, making do somehow in the society that totally depends on magic for their everyday life usage. In a world where magic determines your rank and social class is not new as we’ve seen in many shows like Fairy Tail, Konosuba, and many more that have come and go but his determination seeks to become the Wizard King despite his position in humanity.
Story ~ 8
Two orphan children, Asta and Yuno are left as babies near the doorstep of a church on the outside border of the Clover Kingdom. The story surrounds the boy Asta, a young boy who’s ostensibly is born without magical powers, while he tries to gain magical powers and the talent to control them. Moved by a desire to become the succeeding wizard king, a consultant character to the clover kingdom, the two protagonists develop a friendly competition. The different features, like humor and the heartwarming moments that this show has helped to build the show from the ground up and build a solid status for the show making it a shounen heavy-duty.
Animations ~ 6
The show in itself isn’t flawless. The animations fell rusty and can be missing consistency. However, all of that can be justified due to the financial issues and creating episodes for almost three years weekly. The only break the show ever took until now was due to the pandemic. Unlike other long-running animes, Black Clover has only had a minority of filler episodes, but some episodes just outshine radiance like the 63rd which is probably the best-animated episode of the show according to me which showed the ultimate dealings with the Eye of the Midnight Sun and the reincarnation of the elves. Even though some of the episodes have been phenomenally uncertain and exquisite the animations could’ve been way better.
Sound ~ 8
The music for Black Clover has been always uplifting and up to the point that you can listen to it on repeat. The show has had 10 openings throughout the entirety of the show it’s a bit hard to choose from these 10 which have been the best because the songs were great, but if I had to choose a few I’d say Black Rover from Vickeblanka and Black Catcher from Vickeblanka have been my favorites.
Characters ~ 7
Asta is that one guy who’s an underdog who’s in the world of magic but does not know magic. He’s a little simple yet humble and loud protagonist who strives to excel even though his hindrances Yuno on the other hand is enormously talented and a natural when it comes to controlling magic and its incredible use. At the age of 15, both boys set out to receive extraordinary books called grimoires which help each conduit their own power. The characters are persistent and crave the hunger to change to become better than they were before to become a man that can overcome all. Throughout every character goes to the phase to transform into a newer self and becoming a new person altogether. This show does not go on easy on character developments as one has to perceiver long to change into someone they want to be.
Overall ~ 8
Though this anime had made a bad impression on me while it was just beginning because of Asta’s strident temperament and a methodic set up, those who’ve stuck with the show have grown to like it to some extent eventually. By now, this show will often be considered a contestant among the likes of Ao No Exorcist, Soul Eater, Naruto, Bleach, and My Hero Academia in the shounen genre. The show's charm has grown slowly climbing the stairs of success so much that it is close to impossible for an anime fan like me to not come across it. Reviews about a show break or make a show, but for me, the expression of the anime has changed drastically from not even being interested in the show to yeah I’ve got to watch the next episode I can’t wait. It’s unavoidably popular now, which helps it to qualify for the Jump’s “Big Three” now and the show just keeps on giving.
From being just an average shounen genre show to being Crunchyroll’s “Most Popular Anime of Winter In 2020” capturing the top 20 most widely held titles and the top most popular anime ranked in UK, Canada, Mexico, Russia, France, and Germany. It certainly isn’t for every anime watcher over there and it starts slow as well until its 20th episode as well, but trust me it gets great, the character developments, the animations, if you’re looking to watch something new in the shounen genre this could just be your cup of tea.
The show became wonderful.

What's Evangelion to you? For me it's both a touchstone and an uncomprehending able vision created by "Hideaki Anno" ~ double as enthralling as the mecha anime genre show it is and as distressing in the exploration of despair, making for a whole different level of an epic tale about angels and inner demons. Arguable as one of those shows that have numerous hidden messages in itself as the show has been going on, while some argue that it only plays up to a definite fatuous philosophy of the world. Whatever the case may be, NGE has established itself as one of the hot topics
...
in the anime world for more than a decade now. It takes some time but every once in a while a movie is released to such a vast prolonged well-known admiration; that the likes of Your Name, Ghost In The Shell, Spirited Away, The Wind Rises, Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, Kimestu No-Yaiba Mugen Train, Princess Mononoke, The Secret Of Arrietty, are welcomed as an inspirational and adored by most, with some redefining features. Evangelion 3.0+1.0 is no exclusion as a movie that perhaps is not as ground-breaking currently as the original series was at the time of release that it peaked to its utmost limits and will ever be, but nevertheless, it is an awe-inspiring work that raises the bar even higher. An anime feature that can stand up to with the greats of the original releases. Neon Genesis Evangelion will always be broadly considered as one of the most momentous animes that was created in the 1990s, if not of all time. It will always be enormously well known for its heroic efforts to turn the mecha genre upside-down, its deep character improvements, and its eccentric subplot. Created by an acclaimed studio Khara, and written by both admired (and sometimes hated) writer Hideaki Anno, Evangelion has always been called a magnum opus by most anime fans.
Does it deserve the commendation?
Yes.
Story ~ 10
Evangelion tells a succinct and stunning story that tracks the emotional ordeal of its teenage hero characters, which stand as the solitary fighters of the war that humans don't stand a chance of winning. They're required to pilot gargantuan machinelike monsters (considered as Evas) to battle intractable enemy ones, called Angels. There's a massive count of people who live and breathe anime this is for them. With dozens of industry giants agitating out so many shows since Evangelion first came out as a mecha show that stole hearts away, today there isn't a shortage of shows of the same genre to watch, and the creators know their audience. They know what people want to watch nowadays; and the ability to live a fictional world that makes you feel authoritative, be adored for, and free from realism. To stand up with the best, with the likes of Evangelion 2.0 and 3.0 this movie is a masterpiece.
Animations ~ 10
The movie can be appreciated on a purely filmic level, as a mecha head trip. The images are created as an amalgam of hand-down and the CG simulation that allows complete flexibility of crusade, with some glimpses that swoop all around and through the cleverly complex machinery. The development of each of these new high-tech geniuses such as the space battleship Wunder, which has decks and wings prickling in all directions, like a giant robot's army knife – has an operational sense of scale. (The smart mechanism is designed by Ikuto Yamashita). All I could say about the animations briefly is that it was phenomenal.
Sound ~ 9
The theme song is "One Last Kiss" by Hikaru Utada ft. Hina somehow makes me feel a little uneasy because it also makes me realize that this is the last installment of the series, that being said it has nothing does nothing wrong with the song, its rhythm and its style marks the joyful and playful akin to the metal situation of the '80s. Being sad as it is it makes no difference on how beautiful the song is. I admit that I was doubtful and figured that I'd end up with a remix to a previous song but I was amazed to the core while I stayed and heard the whole song. A little oblivious and a little heart-melting that's what I feel about this song.
Characters ~ 9
It somehow seeks to disconnect all the characters from real people and swap them in its place with fictional characters that they can understand easily and behave in ways that are necessary and foreseeable. In truth, it's an amazing poisonous and blank existence and it can only be replaced by realism for so long for the characters living it. Ultimately, the tried-and-true deceits begin to run empty and the loneliness and the desolation sink once more, except now when you open your eyes and look around at the realism, that it's completely left behind to look back on and realize that your daily simple life has left you behind and all your left with is the despair and no option but to keep moving forward and to see a different world.
Enjoyment ~ 9
The original Neon Genesis Evangelion showed people that it understood them: Shinji's terror of denial, his ambiguity as he created this art of his to such acclaim, his solitude, disbelief, hindrance, and feebleness echoed within so many people that they believed that it was their own story because everyone could narrate to these passionately authentic human sentiments. The Evangelion Rebuilds are more pointed than that though and will always steer you away from realism and beyond normal beliefs of life strongly dividing its watchers into believing that it’s their own and making them live through it. In the end, I cried a little thinking it's all ending all of a sudden as the movie was about to end, and then I realized how far did we come since then and what a great journey it has been for all of us, that's what put a smile on why face while I stood there applauding.
Overall ~ 9
Now, this is where it gets dazzling.
Let's talk about the anime for a moment.
Escaping into another world that is entirely liberated by any of the aspects of our normal world: different from live-action television which still uses actors, situations, and scenarios that are shot in real places with real people, anime is something that is given life into existences and entirely erected worlds. It's such a mesmerizing experience. Don't get me wrong, this can be an unbelievable feature used to tell tales and stories that are greatly effective and likable. I will always love this genre for what it has to offer and how much it has accomplished and how dazzling and astute fragments that it can often produce.
It's not just high-class to anime, either: the moving ideals that can get people so hooked to the anime and patent themselves in many forms, from video games to online forums. These sensations and sentiments that move this kind of activity are not restricted to such a precise community, though. They seek to outbreak anime itself.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is universally appreciated, but its reconstructs are designed and targeted at people who have already had the experience with the genre itself, and people are not happy with what the bulk of the standard has become.
Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 is an absolute spectacle, as astonishing to the eyes as it is to the ears. The fourth film can out-do the first, second, and third installments in so many more ways, all the while taking the storytelling in a thrilling new way and new directions for both the old and new fans. A re-creation would have been too easy for Hideaki Anno and his crew – instead, they went for an above and beyond, reincarnating the ideals of the Evangelion verse that we've come to adore, offering us new elucidations fifteen years on, proving with some level of ferociousness that Eva is far from gone and forgotten. This movie solidifies its franchise, as it has done more than enough to surprise and inspire fans all over the world once again, reminding us all why every Eva fan fell in love with it in the first place.
Hugely experimental and magnificently exceptional, Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 is a roaring success.
And my last message ~ “Sayonara Subete No Evangelion”.
