Black Lagoon

Black Lagoon features many interesting characters in an anime that I have never seen before. Revy, a female gunslinger known as “Two Hands,” enjoys charging into gunfights brandishing two Beretta 92 cutlass handguns. She always loses her anger, swears at people, and doesn’t even think twice before aiming a firearm at anyone.

Rock, who wears a formal shirt and tie, doesn’t suit the crime syndicate motif. Additionally, Rock will attempt to create disputes through courteous speech. The series is for scenes of extreme violence and action lovers, and some characters even seem to relish keeping their victims at gunpoint or torturing them.

Black Lagoon (Credits: Madhouse)

Voiceover in the series is excellent, especially when voicing Revy, whose speech occasionally, even when the episode was dub-subbed in English. Revy must have been screaming and cursing when she displayed severe wrath at other times.

The mafia wars as a whole make the show entertaining and allow it to be filled with characters who are just plain crazy and don’t act like actual contract killers. An ex-cop and an ex-captain of the Russian military with a burn scar that spans nearly half of her face are in charge of the two major gangs in Roanapur.

Two twins, who appear to be boys and girls, like a passion for blood to the extent that they will torment a man and pleased as she saw him crying and bleeding. The sequences had pacing because of the background music and blood and gore.

Death Parade

In Death Parade, when two persons die simultaneously, their souls are put on trial and judged. Under the pretense of a bar, the ‘arbiters,’ who decided not a soul is allowed to be reborn or hurled into a gulf of nothingness, run the tribunal.

Human souls will be compelled to play games at these chains that replicate life-or-death situations without knowing their approaching death to expose their souls’ darkest sides and allow a referee to accurately judge everyone.

Death Parade (Credits: Madhouse)

Quindecim is one greatest places for people to hide, overseen by Decim, a white-haired arbitrator. Before something strange happened, he was just casual. Quindecim was visited by a lone, black-haired woman who had no idea who she was.

However, this black-haired woman refused to play any games to be assessed because she was completely aware of what she was doing. She will work as Decim’s aide, assisting him in deciding whether the departed should be reborn or banished.

Each of Death Parade’s handful of episodes tells a distinct story organized in an arc. This usually involves judging a fresh set of souls. Although many other storylines are going on, another underlying plot concerns the ethics of the games and the existence of the woman with black hair.

Blue Period

Yatora is the ideal high school student, having many friends and maintaining decent marks. It’s a natural performance that ultimately comes out as boring.

He eventually enters the art room, where a single artwork catches his attention and introduces him to a different kind of beauty. He rushes in headfirst, driven and absorbed, and is about to discover how brutal art can be.

The anime series Blue Period is about art, but it also emphasizes the importance of following your heart, no matter how challenging or unconventional that may seem. I wanted to cry because I wish I had continued my study of art after high school.

Blue Period (Credits: Seven Arcs )

A surprising diversity of technical knowledge and guidance concerning art is available, which can be daunting and helpful. It would be incredibly pleasant to read if you enjoy painting. Even the lesser characters have a lot of heart and depth, which is something I admire about the characters.

One of the primary supporting characters, Yuka-chan, was depicted in a way that slightly annoyed me. They appeared to be depicted as slightly sexualized and had exaggerated features, which is sadly not unusual in comics.

However, they were shown to be a boy in the make, which baffled me, but it makes sense now since they were wearing a combination of uniforms for both boys and females.

Death Note

Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata’s Death Note demonstrate that garnering a large audience doesn’t preclude a series from being truly excellent. Unlike other thrillers, I can also tell that this anime still holds up after a first read because I reread it for this review.

Death Note remains one of the best thrillers available, making it an alternate shonen jumping manga from many others in the magazine. A death note is dropped in the opening scene of Death Note by the shinigami Ryuk, who would kill that individual whose name is written on it via heart attack.

Death Note (Credits: Madhouse)

Light Yagami picks up the notebook and intends to use it for good by killing as many sinners as possible to eradicate crime and improve the world. Naturally, others begin to take note, and L, the most renowned detective in the world, decides to tackle the case.

Instead of going the morality play approach and pitting Light against L in a death-defying game of wits, the series chooses the thriller route. The tension that permeates every second is what propels the series ahead. There are a few instances where problems about right and wrong arise, but it is obvious that this is not the story’s main focus.

This is a very well-written conflict between a murderer and a detective. The narrative is filled with in-depth discussions of strategies and tactics to outsmart the opposition. These instances don’t feel monotonous; rather, they are extremely exciting.

The schemes the characters form is widely known. Most designs utilize already available knowledge and characterization reasoning, so anything feels cohesive. A few twists occur, although they rarely take away from the narrative.

Kuroko’s Basketball

Kuroko’s Basketball is an anime with three seasons aired between 2012 and 2015. It was adapted from a well-known manga. It focuses on the basketball team and Seirin Academy, a middle-of-the-road school in Japan. Tetsuya Kuroko and Taiga Kagami, two sophomores added to the team, greatly improved their effectiveness.

Kagami is a traditionally gifted basketball prodigy who has lived in the United States for a while and has faced more rigorous competition than other Japanese his age. He is tall, strong, and agile. The diminutive and frail Kuroko, however, possesses a whole distinct set of abilities.

Kuroko’s Basketball (Credits: Production I.G)

Kuroko uses his physical inadequacy to his advantage by developing a special “misdirection” skill that allows him to vanish on the court, which is fantastic for making stealing and catching.

Kuroko is the prototypical “support” player since he has amazing passing ability but is laughably awful at shooting, the most crucial aspect of basketball.

Kuroko’s Middle School squad, which featured a group of wonder kids known as the “Generation of Miracles,” fostered his support abilities. The Miracles switched schools after school, yet they are still destined to compete against one another in numerous inter-high tournaments.

The potential English title of the series, “The Basketball Which Kuroko Plays,” alludes to Kuroko’s determination to meet his former friends by perfecting a team-based approach. Kuroko feels disappointed and repulsed by their snobbish individualism.

Neo Yokio

As many people think, Ezra Koenig, not Jaden Smith, made a Netflix-only animation called Neo Yokio. Kaz Kaan, the main character, is only voiced by Smith in collaboration with Production I.G. and Studio Dean. Despite having only six episodes, the entire narrative flows naturally without any unnecessary padding. Neo Yokio genuinely offers a nice time.

Neo Yokio is regarded as the world’s most amazing city. In this alternate history of New York, demons overran the city in the eighteenth century due to the huge population that resided there. Then, magicians were ordered to expel the demons from the city and succeeded.

Neo Yokio (Credits: Production I.G. and Studio Deen)

Due to this, magicians rose to the rank of “Magistocrats,” a very affluent class with high social standing in the city. This show has received a variety of reviews. If you can get beyond the pilot, I think the show will grow on you once you’ve watched it.

Without a doubt, the voice acting might be better. However, the show is incredibly entertaining because of its many personalities. Characters of various ages and races are present. Some fans believe that this series is an anime parody, but I don’t believe that to be the case.

I believe the show only makes fun of various contemporary situations and subjects using anime. It seems a little odd that American elements are mixed with anime themes. Despite this, Neo Yokio is genuinely unique and is paving the way for the creation of other Japanese/American shows.

Ping Pong the Animation

Two table tennis players and best friends named Makoto and Yutaka. They both share different personalities. Makoto is shy and introverted. On the other hand, Yukata is extroverted and full of social energy.

However, they share a unique bond that is filled with love and friendship. They both spent most of their fun time playing table tennis and ping pong, and their skills for the game started skilling.

In the tournament, they compete with each other and come face to face. Some of their natural talent comes out, but their joinery of winning the tournament becomes tough when they face other opponents who are equally talented as they are.

Ping Pong the Animation (Credits: Crunchyroll)

One of the players from China is named Ryuuichi. His nickname is Dragon ; now, the main challenge for the best friends is to defeat China Dragon, who is undefeatable in the first place.

Every player has their strength and weakness; here in the anime, these three competitors have their own. To defeat one in the tournament and achieve the trophy, one has to get through one weakness and strength.

As in the game, Makota and Yutaka have to fight to win and not for their friendship bond. As the completion arises between these to win the matches of ping pong and table tennis, Makota and Yataka realize that their friendship is more than this game and whoever wins will win for their bond.
