Hell's Paradise is one of the best anime I have watched so far. Despite it only being one season with 13 eps (so far), the storyline is compelling and incredibly interesting. The plot seems simple at first, however it's anything but. Along the way, multiple obstacles are encountered which make the characters consider their true motivation for risking their lives to receive a pardon and live. But what makes Hell's Paradise different from any other anime? As you watch, the themes and mysteries are entirely new, and you learn about the true nature of the island along with the characters. Along with that, every character

has their own backstory, which, even though they're all supposed to be competing against each other, makes you root for all of them to win, despite most of them being side characters. Hell's Paradise does an incredible job of combining deeper themes such as personal will to live, what you'd do for your family, and also if someone with blood-soaked history such as Gabimaru's could be redeemable or not. The characters are very likeable, the plot is enticing and unpredictable, the animation and setting is also beautiful. Not to mention, this anime takes place in the Edo period, so it does have historical elements and along with the island setting, is very visually appealing. I would recommend this anime to anyone, regardless of what genre you prefer as Hell's Paradise is really a masterpiece of combining multiple into one, but not to the point that it's overwhelming, it all blends together beautifully. Each character's motivation is understandable, and depending on the viewer, could be relatable, so anyone can watch this and feel connected to the story. Can't wait for season two~
