 This is a show about a traveling spiritualist. He’s able to see things and perceive the world of the spirits. This is a series of short stories. All about the unique and interesting things he encounters on his journey. Some of them benevolent. Some of them aggressive. Some of them benign. Each of these stories is almost a mystery. You’re trying to figure out what is going to happen. How can he help? Sometimes he can’t.
 It’s a beautifully well shot show. It’s incredibly peaceful. And it gives you a lot to think about. Plays with the concept of the river of souls. Kind of something discussed in Final Fantasy 10 as the Mako river. It’s a lot more deep and spiritual than almost any anime out right now. It is something to come back and watch again. Because it is quite lovely. Even if you know how it’s gonna go, it doesn’t take away from the enjoyment.

I use a 10 point rating system for everything and it might contrast too much with a 5 point, so I will just mention shows I like and leave the reviews to others.
That Time I Got Reincarnate As A Slime and Bofuri: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense are really fun IMHO.
The Rising of the Shield Hero and No Guns Life And Future Diary, how could I forget that! I love these as well.
And speaking of forbidden anime, there are genres of anime where girls fight with heavy fan service added, Queensblade probably take the cake for that, but there are many of them, another very popular one is Ikki Tousen.
I actually can't even remember the names of most of the anime I have seen, even some I liked a lot.
I forget that Hentai exists. Bible Black is a messed up show halfway between anime and Hentai.

 This is existential. We are left to wander the tattered remains of what was once an incredible world. Vaguely similar to the MegaMan universe. But we’re post apocalypse. Rust, mortality itself. Has been ravaging the land. Bringing Death to the immortal race of robots that has ruled this world for hundreds of years.
 Casshern is the person who is most at fault for what has happened. He is unapologetic. But he has nothing but empathy for the people that he finds destroyed along his path. This is a road of redemption.
 By the end you will be floored. By the concept that beauty itself, only exists because of its impermanence. Like a fleeting flower that only opens once, and then wilts. It’s perfection, never to be seen again…
 Characters Five out of five Story Five out of five Style Five out of five "If the world is spiralling into ruin because of my own actions.. then it is MY responsibility to try and stop it from destroying everything." - Casshern

Puella Magi Madoka Magica
some real trippy art in this one

Steins;Gate This one has the literal best time travel story in any show, movie etc.
Both of these not recommended to get mega high on dissociatives and start thinking you are in these stories. I did this and it is a trip.

Mob Psycho 100 is probably the best anime of the past decade. It is finished too so you can enjoy it all.

 Incredible art style captivating characters. All delivered around the prosecution of an innocent. Who turns into an incredible medicine woman.
 Lots of psychedelics were definitely used. There’s a lot of sexual imagery in this. But it delivers a powerful story. True eye candy.

Anyone watching Frieren: Beyond Journey's End? Def worth checking out, probably the best currently airing anime.

Is very good. Madhouse animated. Pluto on Netflix is the best current anime, and it's not really close at all.

i was really impressed with HBO's scavenger's reign. the art direction is flawless. it's like if you combined a studio ghibli movie with a moebius comic. the story is tight and keeps you hooked. the characters are all interesting. and the setting feels fresh. it's true science fiction. highly recommended.

GenesisCorrupted said: Quick succinct review. Attack on Titan. The level of violence, the show will subject you to is unbearable. The payoff is nothing. The ending was so offensively bad to me. That I am pissed off. Don’t watch this. It was not worth the wait.
Zero out of infinity. That is my rating. The more I think about it, the worse it becomes. They also committed one of my cardinal sins of entertainment. Showing me an image that is never followed up on at all…

If you don’t mind spoilers. The actual very angry review is in my journal. I don’t suggest anyone read it. Because no one should waste any time on this show ever.
Obviously, based off of my words. You know how I feel about this. Please don’t try to tell me any redeeming qualities about this show. I waited for 10 years to finish watching this… I don’t wanna ever hear about it again.
Strong disagree. Divisive ending, but fitting. This quote is highly relevant. “Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.” They also fixed a line from the end of the manga that kind of excused everything and was terribad.

Better than how Tokyo Ghoul (manga) ended.

Wow. You really set that anime on a pedestal. Now I’m curious. It’s not that they didn’t have a good ending on their hands. if the dialogue had been better.

I have rarely been as mad about wasting hours of my life as I was when I read the ending to Tokyo Ghoul. I read that shit every week for like 5 fucking years and they did the fandom like that


Naruto was worse

 This anime is about a mild mannered student. Who discovers a notebook that allows him to kill anyone whose name is written in it. He can even specify how they die and when. This power is actually stolen from a demon. Who becomes a very silly character. Completely detached from humanity. This demon is trying to make a deal. He’s making money. Life is the currency of the afterlife.
 It’s amazing how absolute power always manages to corrupt absolutely. This kid becomes a god of death. All while evading capture and developing a more distorted view of himself. He is willing to do anything that it takes to keep this power. Because he feels justified. How could he be a bad person? If all he’s doing is killing bad people. This gains him allies to his cause.
 The people trying to stop him must in fact, be bad people in his mind. This power struggle between good and evil. Brings you incredible highs. And devastating lows. I love a good detective story. But you’ll find yourself rooting for the killer. At least I was. The ending is something that I felt like we all needed by the time we got it. The deed was done. The world changed forever. Whether it was for the better, or for the worst. Would be up to opinion.
