Under da sea
I don't do friends because I don't want people "friending" me and then slinging N-words at me because my review was too offensive for them.
- The Twelve Kingdoms
Top 3 OST of all time. Maybe best redemption arc. They don't make "high fantasy" style anime like this any more, which is a bit of a shame, but if you're a fan of the high fantasy genre, such as Record of Lodoss War or Escaflowne, chances are, you've seen this, but if not, you should. Solid hook, solid story, solid OST, but no solid snake... he's in another anime called Fushigi Yugi, which I recommend staying far away from.The Twelve Kingdoms - Bloodsport
Favorite-movie-of-all-time!!! Is Frank Dux a narcissistic poser? Yeah. Was Jean Claude a coke addicted 80's star? True. Has MMA ruined everyone's perception on mystical kung-fu moves? Definitely. But, still, is this movie chalked full of testosterone goodness? Let's just say if you went in as a hairless ape, you'll come out a gorilla by the end of the movie. Frank Dux maybe fake, but Jean Claude is not. If you watched any of Jean Claude's kick boxing fights from back in the day, this guy had feet that moved like lighting, truly scary stuff. When Jean says he was world champ, he's not lying, because K1 didn't exist in his time, unlike some people... Bloodsport is why simple stories work. I'd like to quote a famous programmer we all know and love, "Idiots admire complexity, geniuses admire simplicity." I'm sure you can appreciate how this totally awesome movie is driven by such a simplistic but entirely functional story.Bloodsport - Meet John Doe
I don't know why people say this show has this-or-that political vibes when it's more than obvious the theme of the show is about working together and being friends with your neighbor, that's it. The line that gets this show it's criticism is the tear down your fence line, which in modern political climate is a touchy subject. I get it, borders are vital to the survival of a nation, but that's not what this show was getting at and it's an unfair to hold it against the entire movie when there are much better themes in place, such as the power of a true grass-root movement to overthrow oligarchy and how billionaires manipulate grass-root movements to suit their own agendas. Now, if we actually rate Meet John Doe for what it truly is, without the shade cast on it, it's a bit of a sappy flick with some cheesy scenes, such as Cooper's make-believe baseball scene or the girl gets sick and faints into her love interest's arms trope, but the director integrates all the cheesy scenes to make it work for the story and the acting for silver screen is top notch making this an absolutely recommended movie, with one caveat... if you're sensitive to the suicide subject, I might tell you to give it a pass. The silver screen is a treasure trove of good stories brought to life and while this one is good, it's not a must watch. I honestly don't know how they got the producers to sign onto a script where the hook and pivotal climax is based upon the idea of suicide, but it was handled with care and weaved nicely into the story. With that, I say this is a solid 4/5 and a thumbs up!Meet John Doe - Initial D
How can you not like Initial D? It's got horrible art work? Yeah, true. The story is garbage? Okay, you have a point. The female characters are hoes? I could see that. It's MC is marry sue af? Yeah, okay, that all maybe true but the music, cars and real-life touge racing tactics... Just unbeatable. I love this series, even if most of it is objectively awful, because it's the right kind of awful.Initial D - Outlaw Star
I don't understand why this gets a mid rating. Objectively, this is the best anime in existence, when comparing all aspects of animation mediums: story, hook, theme, creativity, uniqueness, audio, voice acting, animation quality, etc. Yes, there are anime that have better audio, there are those that do atmosphere better, some anime have better characters, there are those that have a better story, but Outlaw Star is the Star Wars of science fiction anime, it does everything very well. Cowboy Bebop does characters, voice acting, and action better, but story, music, pacing, hook, animation, story objects, connecting with the audience, theme, Outlaw Star wins, sometimes barely, but wins non-the-less. It's a shame that it doesn't get the fame Cowboy Bebop gets, at least, even though it objectively beats Cowboy Bebop in most aspects.Outlaw Star - Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Demon Slayer is how to do action monster hunting genre correctly. It's landed itself into the S-tier class of anime and a staple in anyone's library. The one drawback I find is that they kind of blueball you a few times during climatic MC fights, granted, they do steer away from doing this in later seasons, but not completely, so I won't hold it against them until I see how the series ends.Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Promised Neverland
Much like LOST, this series uses J.J Abrams' "mystery box" formula. But, unlike J.J Abrams, the author of this series actually knows whats in the box (the Seven pun not intended :P). I highly recommend this for anyone in the mood for a dark twisty thriller, it's very thought provoking. Most manga purists say season 2 is a flop, but I actually accept season 2 as a fitting close. I feel like manga purists use their manga knowledge inappropriately more often than not.The Promised Neverland - Dragon Ball Z
You know how many gym memberships this anime sold? There other anime like Hajime No Ippo that inspire working out, but nothing like DBZ. Bruce Faulconer and Jeremy Sweet? Yeah, that's some real mood setting music. How can you not love an anime that inspires you to become stronger? How can you not appreciate Sean Schemmel powering up in a mic for 2 minutes straight?Dragon Ball Z - Yu Yu Hakusho
To this day, best tourney arc in anime, not even close competition. This series goes hard until the end. Anyone who loves anime, this is a must watch before reviewing any other seinen anime. If you can't acknowledge what this anime did better than other seinen, it's time to do some deep soul searching.Yu Yu Hakusho - Summer Time Rendering
There's a lot of anime that sells itself on it's twists that I consider worth at least one watch, such as Talentless Nana, Steins;Gate, or Danganronpa. There's very few that I'd actually consider watching twice, Summer Time Rendering is one of them. It's not perfect, it had a bit of a bumpy late game, but it wraps everything up neatly at the end, which I appreciate in a twisty anime, or any anime for that matter. I highly recommend Summer Time Rendering if you're in the mood for a twisty thriller.Summer Time Rendering - Parasyte -the maxim-
Never trust a reviewer that says Tokyo Ghoul is better than Parasyte, ever. Parasyte is the best version of the two, there's not even a contest, Tokyo Ghoul lost it's story half-way through. That said, these type of edgy anime start to date themselves after awhile, because there's always going to be another edgier anime coming out. However, some edgier anime still hold up to modern scrutiny and I believe this is one of them. I'm a sucker for monster hunting genre and Parasyte never disappointed me, it was good all the way through the end, which is a lot more than Tokyo Ghoul can say.Parasyte -the maxim- - Shiki
One might say this is a "hate it" or "love it" series. I love it. If you are a vampire sycophant, you'll probably hate it. If you are a monster hunting genre lover, such as Lost Boys, From Dusk Till Dawn, Solomon Kane, this is an ABSOLUTE must watch. It's in my top 5 anime for best sound tracks, it is the top anime for best anime death of all time, the story progression is basic but solid, and it abides by the rules of traditional vampires, no sparkles! Nitpicking the one drawback I find is that the art style doesn't match the mood, however to balance out the pokemon'ish art style, the vampire eyes are top notch.Shiki - Akudama Drive
A true Cyberpunk is both a thriller genre and a mystery with devastating twists; a world divided into a two tier society, the haves and have-nots, where the protagonist faces insurmountable odds because the upper society controls all manor of life and the solution to the story usually requires the protagonist to "break" their world. The Matrix understood that, Dark City understood that, Altered Carbon got it, and Akudamma Drive played that fiddle like a true cyberpunk should till the very end. Akudama Drive gets what cyberpunk should be. Why 3.5 stars, a bit above mid rating? It takes more than understanding a formula to create a proper concoction. Akudama Drive spends too much time on stuff that doesn't matter and not enough time on stuff that does, that said, still worth a watch.Akudama Drive
