Did Konosuba Age Well?
Konosuba has been one of the most popular isekai anime ever since it came out in 2016 and is now a beloved anime, with extremely popular characters like Megumin, Aqua, and Darkness. Back then, the isekai genre wasn't as cluttered as it is now, and no popular shows that parodied the genre itself emerged. That is, until Konosuba came onto the scene. Instead of focusing on a heroic journey filled with characters with tragic backstories, strong motivations, and relentless determination, Konosuba decided to go in the completely opposite direction. Instead of a noble, heroic main character, we get Kazuma, the man with no plan and a lotta greed. At first, I thought Kazuma's attitude, along with his party of not so competent adventurers, would get boring after a few episodes since there's only so many jokes you can make for specific character archetypes. This is where Konosuba surprised me. With each coming season came new jokes that genuinely made me laugh quite a bit. As Konosuba went on, I found myself getting genuinely attached to Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness and throughout season 3, they truly feel like a fun, dysfunctional family.

Ranger Reject is The Boys, but with Power Rangers
zhlédnutí 3,9KPřed 21 dnem
Ranger Reject is a manga that I've kept my eye on for quite a while since it's written by one of my favorite mangaka, Negi Haruba. Yes, THAT Negi Haruba, the one behind Quintessential Quintuplets. Except this time, he's taken on the task of creating evil super heroes, kind of like the ones we see in The Boys. Although Ranger Reject isn't identical to The Boys and obviously takes place in a diff...
How Wind Breaker Perfected The Strongest
zhlédnutí 20KPřed měsícem
Wind Breaker is a delinquent anime and manga I've been looking forward to as a Tokyo Revengers fan. Wind Breaker excited me even more when I found out it was being handled by Clover Works, who I knew would do it justice. I already had my heart shattered once by a delinquent manga, but Wind Breaker, at least the anime, immediately distanced itself from Tokyo Revengers since it featured great pro...
Kaiju No. 8 is Wonderfully Stuck in the Past
zhlédnutí 902Před měsícem
Kaiju No. 8 is pretty great and it's partly because of that good old shonen feel it retains while somehow feeling modern at the same time. Normally something like this would be a negative for a modern shonen anime, but Kaiju No. 8 has somehow turned it into a strength. Really, really fun show.
Classroom of the Elite SHATTERED My Expectations
zhlédnutí 73KPřed 2 měsíci
Classroom of the Elite is an anime I went into not really expecting much and I came out after experiencing some of the best anime I've watched recently. I really thought this show would just be a glaze fest for Ayanokoji, but it was so, so much more than that and as I watched more, I began to realize why so many people obsess over this anime. The production might not be the greatest and there m...
How Kagurabachi Created the Greatest First Villain
zhlédnutí 1KPřed 2 měsíci
Kagurabachi's almost at its 30 chapter mark and although it isn't fully in the clear when it comes to whether or not it'll get axed, the actual content of Kagurabachi itself has been incredible so far(Don't worry about being axed, Kagurabachi volume 1 sales were great). It's been a while since I was blown away by a villain so early on in a battle shonen since most of the time, the first couple ...
Solo Leveling is All Style, No Story.
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 3 měsíci
I feel like Solo Leveling is THE Manhwa that everyone knows. Even if you haven't read it, you've definitely seen snippets from the first few chapters because of how incredible the art is and the meme potential when it came to everyone bowing to the statues. Even though I read Solo Leveling a while ago, I came into the anime hoping to gain a fresh perspective on this series and hopefully like it...
Why Frieren & Apothecary Diaries TOOK OVER Anime

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and Apothecary Diaries finished their seasonal runs recently and to say I was blown away by both of them would be an understatement.

Frieren I already knew was gonna be a banger just based off...
Attack on Titan's Biggest Gamble Paid Off
zhlédnutí 532Před 3 měsíci
Coming off the heels of an incredible Season 3, Attack on Titan somehow upped the ante and went even crazier in season 4. After the massive reveal of the existence of Marley and Grisha's backstory, I had no idea what to expect coming into this season and I was pleasantly surprised in the best way possible. At the end of season 3, Eren's final words had me wondering what kind of path he'd be goi...
I've Never Seen Avatar, So I Watched the Live Action

Avatar the Last Airbender has always been one of those stories that's been constantly talked about around me, but I've never really gotten around to watching it.

I was planning on watching Avatar's animated adaptation, sinc...

Attack on Titan, you have rocked my world. Wow. The Return to Shiganshina was everything I could've asked for and more.

I knew that it was going crazy despite not knowing anything about Attack on Titan back then, but now? I get...

The Betrayal No One Saw Coming | Attack on Titan
zhlédnutí 2,2KPřed 5 měsíci
Attack on Titan Season 2 is genuinely one of the craziest viewing experiences I've ever had in anime. That 4 year wait between seasons doesn't sound as bad now that I've binged season 2, but then again, I didn't have to deal with that anyways. This season looked as incredible as always and I especially enjoyed the Titan vs Titan battles that we got to see. There's still a lot of loose ends afte...
I Finally Gave Attack on Titan a Chance

Attack on Titan was a lot of peoples' introduction to anime and as someone who wasn't riding the hype train for it back in 2013, I was always intrigued by the success of an anime like Attack on Titan. It starkly contrasts the other popular anime that we got back in the day, which were usually battle shonen with a lot of exaggerated and lighthearted characters sprinkled in. Attack on Titan off r...

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 wrapped up recently, having gone on what can only be described as a legendary run while adapting the Shibuya Incident.

It would be a shame if we never got an ...

    I think it was rushed because as they wait for content for S6 they can animate other BSD content like Beast or Storm-bringer or even the light novels like Dazais entrance exam. Its my speculation and I could be wrong but it would give the audience a breather from the chaos that's currently ongoing in the BSD universe. Its also something people would like to see, a BEAST production is definitely something I would watch since the story is an interesting concept despite also being fast paced.

    Well i don't think Konosuba is down right bad... but i needed several attempts to finish it cause it went kinda boring quite early cause every joke kinda felt the same.. Aqua always stupid.. Kasuma always Pantie stealing.. Darkness always Masochist... there is like almost no Dynamic... well atleast i enjoyed Megumin even tho i hate her for ruining every Explosion in any Media cause i will always have a little Megumin on my Shoulder shouting EXPLOOOSION in my ear -.- But i can say that personally... since i finished Konosuba and starting with Fairy Tail now i enjoy this one quite a bit more

    I do agree though, all that cut content could have really been used to benefit the pacing for the series… especially when the source is a monthly manga! It doesn’t benefit to rush through precious material, but I’m still happy with it (as long as I watch the anime first, then read the manga, other way and it’d be a slightly different story-)

    I really like the anime. I tried reading the novel because everyone said it was so much better, and honestly, I could not get behind it. I'm not trying to say it was bad or anything. But I kind of really like how the mc is portrayed in the anime, so reading him as much more emotive, and also appearing a bit less cunning/psycho, It just didn't seem like the same story. And again, the novel might be better, I tried reading it because I wanted more of anime-Ayanokoji, so I didn't give it an honest chance when I didn't instantly enjoy the novel-Ayanokoji.

    Something I think is especially neat about Maomao is that she actually is a character who is built around her gender, but not in a lazy hack way. You can't gender swap her without radically rewriting the story. She has to be a girl in a society where being a girl is pretty bullshit, because it's the only thing that lets her get away with half the shit she does.
