Nisioisin you have charmed me beyond belief. Bakemonogatari is such a short and sweet story that truly charms the heart.
While there are a lot of controversies with the series, especially the main character, I really do like that Araragi is a dickhead who has weird fetishes and is a dweeb loser. It humanizes him as opposed to idealizing him. What I truly think is the absolute greatest part of this anime however is Hitagi Senjougahara. Episode 12 of Bakemonogatari moved mountains, changed lives.

If you have ever deeply loved, please give yourself the privilege of watching the first 12 episodes of Bakemonogatari at LEAST, ... and if you have ever felt like your love has been unrequited, please watch the entire season. The series enchants the viewer so well with such a likeable cast of characters, and with its astonishing art direction there's no wonder why it's deemed a classic.

NISIOISIN I WILL KILL FOR YOU

Don't resist. Accept. Everything is connected.

The world is mine is so confident in its own philosophies that it makes everything else in the series feel pale in comparison. While I love this manga it has an issue where Hideki writes too much bullshit sometimes, and while I feel like thats a good part of the manga and is sort of the point, like damn do I need to read about the police chief's thoughts who is gonna kill himself 3 chapters later? In retrospect I did but damn it was kind of a slog. However on the bright side of this : Maria Abeno ... is the greatest character of all time and I jusch don't get how someone can't love her. She did nothing wrong to anyone ever and deserves to be cherished. I also really like Mon and Toshi as characters, and what they represent for the world. The Waltz for Maria, Final Arc, and Higumadon's run through Odate was fucking amazing however. Hideki Arai you didn't blow my mind but you did blow my penis.

The manga functions perfectly if youre looking for a dumb comedy but it excels in so many aspects of other genres. The slow burn romance between okarun and momo is by far the most engaging thing in the manga, but the main thing that holds me back from bumping it up to a nine is how infuriating some of the side characters are, and my feelings towards half of them can be summed up by saying SHE GOOD MY NIGGA.

The plot is a little messy but it functions well to serve the characters, however I'm Hoping that count saint germain does far more to ... create tension in the plot


turbo granny goat, when momo and okarun kiss

i am 14 and this changed my life and made me stop jerking my jimmy the manga

its cool but its nothing special you know? people consider this a masterpiece but the problem is kurosawa just isn't likeable, and i know thats the point but everyone feels like a cardboard cutout. the most interesting character was kitahara and not seeing more of her kind of just... soured my opinion of the manga? kurosawas whole deal with admitting to the class he's a perv and almost making himself his own messiah and the bearer of his own sins is supposed to be the peak of his character ... but i felt nothing. the manga feels a little too wordy, and while i like the sketchy style it doesn't do much for me. it is in all honesty not a bad manga-- but its nowhere near a masterpiece. its just alright lol. if ur bored and need to have a quick detox from the good shit you read then kurosawa is just that. its alright

Usogui, Usogui, Usogui. Baku Madarame, The Lie Eater. Even 3 days after finishing the manga I still have no words to really describe what I had experienced. This is singlehandedly the most well thought out, planned, and executed story I have ever witnessed. Baku Madarame and Hal have changed my wiring of my brain. At points in time the series had me crying, for chapters straight. Each page turn, was another tear rolling down my face. I was reading at 4 AM and had to stop myself from yelling because of how good and crazy the twists and turns in the gambles are in these ... arcs, but while the leap second had affirmed Baku as the most impressive character I've ever read, I find myself loving him for his true wish for world peace and his absolute love that both Hal and him share for each other, and for gambling. In a sense, Hal has always been Usogui's personal referee, presiding almost each and every one of his gambles ever since meeting him. The last couple arcs have made me cry to the point where this has blown everything else out of the water.

GOD I FUCKING LOVE YAOI

yeah man usogui is the greatest. nothing interesting here. just go fucking read it. lalo was great. marco, kaji, baku, hal, kadokura, kyara, yakou, all had the ability to make me cry insane amounts of tears at 3 am.

Look Back was fun but it wasnt anything crazy, genuinely astonished how they were able to stretch this to be a movie but all the power to fujimoto i guess

story is pretty alright for how long it is
art style is something i really appreciated as the art got more shaky and the snow began to trespass on the borders of the manga to represent fujinos mental state
the characters were alright for what they were, i like kyomoto the most tho
this is a generally good fujimoto work, even though he doesn't have any bad ones. sayonara eri better tho

9.5/10

the only people who don't like this anime are people who don't go outside and expect anime to be an escape. FLCL doesn't do anything to cushion it's readers, and its brutally honest and real with each character. Haruko isn't a good person. No one is. These characters aren't here to explain themselves, or their motivations, or to tell you a coherent story. These characters just exist, the same way that you and I do. What Mamimi does to Naota is wrong but, at the same time I can't hate her. I truly can't.

Everyone in this is someone you know in real life, whether ... you realize it or not.

Absolutely amazing work from someone who had never read any of Ishida's previous works, he manages to make such a relatable main character to a gay neet loser idiot (ME!!!), so it really helps when Ishida also writes amazing gay angsty romance (ME!!!), and provides an interesting power system alongside it to keep the reader invested in the fights. The Sinker Choujin Arc was great, however the true best arc so far has been the Moon Beast arc. Azuma and Tokio's relationship is so painfully beautiful and tragic that it tears away at the readers heartstrings, yet also asks the question of whether it's selfish ... or not to want to be someones number one forever.

Ishida is a masterclass writer for this one, and not only can I not wait to see what he cooks up for the rest of Choujin X, but I also can't wait to see what he cooks up in Tokyo Ghoul. 9/10.

Kagurabachi, despite all the memes, in its own shell-- its own universe, serves as a good (although basic) story concept, with fun characters, interesting and pulling antagonists, and a nice set of funny and heartwarming side characters, and it's final ingredient- a nice good drop of yaoi. Great manga so far, I hope Hokazono gets even better at his craft, and puts more gay boys in his manga. I believe that Hokazono, with being the fact that he's only 23 is doing something unprecedented in the creation of this manga, without even taking part in it. Glory to the Kagurabachi nation, Glory to Chihiro, Glory ... to Hakuri, GLORY TO YAOI.

Emanon is a really intriguing story about life, and whatever the preconceived notion of 'Destiny' is meant to be. From a thematic standpoint, this series is absolutely beautiful, the characters feel real, and the art is amazing. However, it is obvious to anyone who's read this that it lacks in the sense of completion. Multiple story arcs are completely left behind, with it only being chocked up to, 'it will happen in the future'. The character writing is great, the atmosphere always feels refreshing, and there is so much to this world I want to learn. Why is Emanon the way she is, why did ... she have a brother, why is Hikari a time jumper, and why does the boy who knows everything exist?
Emanon's answer to these questions, is to stop worrying, and to just live. It will all come. It will happen. Not sure when, but in your lifetime it will happen.

And while beautiful, it also leaves a unsatisfying aftertaste in the readers mouth, which I suppose leads back to what Emanon said to Kodzuki, it's a feeling that is all too human.
