Chainsaw Man (2022)

UTTERLY MINDBLOWING!

[10/10 · 22 April 2023]

The opening theme song is playing in the back of my head as I write this.

What a show! What tightly neat and polished art to tell such a gruesome gory story as this! Magnificent to say the least.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, we're living in the golden age of anime. Demon Slayer, Hell's Paradise, Chainsaw Man.

The thing that keeps amazing me with animes such as these as that they keep on pushing the envelope, they keep on being daring daunting artist who allow their characters reverberate every fibre of their being in each and every action and line they have.

This first season only scratches the surface of the secrets of the world building without revealing anything, really, but it's enough that I'm already salivating for a second season!

Bring it on!

Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku (2023– )

HELL'S PARADISE IS HERE TO STAY!

From the beautiful well crafted opening with an amazing song to the story and the characters themselves - not to mention the out of this world aesthetic to the genre - Hell's Paradise is set to become something we didn't know that anime could be. We're only three episodes in and this anime continues to stun me. Brace yourselves, you're in for a hell of a ride. This is top of the tops, creme de la creme entertainment.

I'm speaking as someone who's never read the manga and just watched the anime - as this is how I went about every anime I've ever watched.

I thought that Naruto would have a monopoly on the ninja-genre but somehow Hell's Paradise is able to reframe that notion to all of us, Naruto fans, have in our minds, and keep it fresh and moving forward.

I'm hyping the hell out of this anime because that's the impression it left on me. And hey, I've just come out of rewatching all of Demon Slayer in anticipation of season, and somehow Hell's Paradise animation is able to entice my heart with even more emotion than the likes of Kimetsu no Yaiba.

We should all just be glad that we can sit down and revel on these anime's as we're currently living in the golden age of anime.
