Anime

Most of the people who aren't familiar with the term "Anime" mistook it as just being "Cartoon" but it's not. Let me tell you something it's not a cartoon. When it comes to Anime one thing I can say for sure is don't underestimate it. I've watching anime for years now and I'm totally hooked on it. Anime is far greater and deeper that can teach you many things that you might not get a chance to learn or understand in your real life than the so-called "cartoons" which are basically made for kids for entertainment purposes only. It can make you experience many emotions, it can make you cry, laugh, angry, frustrated, annoyed, and even confused. Anime is a better way to escape the boring reality (where things just can't go smoothly) as it can make you experience many emotions and joy that one can't get in real life...for example, a guy like me whose like is boring as heck and has nothing particularly going on (when I say nothing particularly going on I fully mean it without exaggeration) can enjoy different emotions and learn things that I haven't learned in my 21 years of life.

So in the end what meant to say is that Anime is definitely worth watching. and you should watch anime.

If you feel like knowing more about the "Anime" and its history you can read below.

Animation is produced in Japan using computer animation. In both Japanese and English, anime refers to all animated works, regardless of their origin or style. However, outside of Japan, anime is often translated as "Japanese animation" or "Japanese-influenced animation".

The earliest commercial animation in Japan was produced in 1917. The term "anime" was first created by Osamu Tezuka in the 1960s, and it developed a large domestic following. It is often distributed theatrically through television broadcasts and over the Internet.

Animated films are often made in a variety of styles and are characterized by a variety of recognizable characteristics, such as large and emotive eyes, distinct character names, and varying levels of technical skill and creativity. Due to its diverse art styles, anime has a unique character and appearance.

Animation in Japan began in the early 20th century when many filmmakers thought to experiment with techniques developed in France, Germany, the United States, and Russia. In 1917, the first professional and publicly displayed works began to appear; animators such as Ōten Shimokawa, Seitarō Kitayama, and Jun'ichi Kōuchi (considered the "fathers of anime") made many films.

Modern Anime follows a particular animation process, including storyboarding, voice acting, character design, and cel production. The animators started using computer animation, after the 1990s,  for a better production process. Modern production studios produce mainly anime series than movies.

Naruto

If you are reading this then I'm sure you are a fellow weeb/otaku who loves to watch anime as much as I do.

I don't think Naruto needs an introduction.

If you don't know about Naruto then let me give a small synopsis about it, 

Moments prior to Naruto Uzumaki's birth, a huge demon known as the Kyuubi, the Nine-Tailed Fox, attacked Konohagakure, the Hidden Leaf Village, and wreaked havoc. In order to put an end to the Kyuubi's rampage, the leader of the village, the Fourth Hokage, sacrificed his life and sealed the monstrous beast inside the newborn Naruto.

Now, Naruto is hyperactive and knuckle-headed ninja still living in Konohagakure. Shunned because of the Kyuubi inside him, Naruto struggles to find his place in the village, while his burning desire to become the Hokage of Koohagakure leads him not only to some great new friends, but also some deadly foes.

My opinion about Naruto

Let me clear one thing in advance, nothing is perfect as this also not perfect but that doesn't mean this show is crap. Naruto is worth watching. I love the whole "ninja aspect" like its technique has the quality and all training arcs are really show the defining element of how ninjutsu worked in its universe. 

Each episode follows Naruto's challenges. There are times when he's annoying, arrogant, and naive, but all these are part of his personality and the strong part of his personality is his unyielding spirit to learn and succeed. He may be at the bottom of the class, but he never wavers in his dedication or lose hope about himself and what he's capable of learning. Watching him grow from being treated as a monster to full-fledged shinobi and protect his friends or should I say every important one. One of the things that have been focused on in the series is friendship and bonds. This show explores themes of revenge, hate, bonds, and sorrow in a very astounding way. Know More

My Opinion on Naruto Shippuden 

Naruto Shippuden has a great canon. Since it is based on manga, the story in itself is great. However, most of this anime is filler. When you think you're getting to a climax in a storyline... you get 15 filler episodes. The manga is now over. They can bring the show to an end. They won't however. Instead, they greatly degrade the quality of a once good anime with almost completely unwatchable filler storylines. In fact, there is soo much filler, after waiting month after month after month for the actual canon (the reason for this anime), I've completely withdrawn from the story to the point where I simply don't care and have to rewatch episodes from 3 months ago to remember wtf is going on. The anime company destroyed what could have been the greatest anime in existence. Like spray painting a stickman body on the Mona Lisa to make it a larger picture. Empty, useless, boring episodes usually follow a good canon episode and after almost a decade of this pattern, I must say, read the manga instead. It is way better and won't disappoint since (again) the story really is one of the best. I'm sad to see Naruto end, but happy as well, since the longer fillers continue (even at the end), the more of a "milking the cow" scenario this becomes. To know more

Attack on Titan

Before talking about it here's a synopsis

Centuries ago, mankind was slaughtered to near extinction by monstrous humanoid creatures called Titans, forcing humans to hide in fear behind enormous concentric walls. What makes these giants truly terrifying is that their taste for human flesh is not born out of hunger but what appears to be out of pleasure. To ensure their survival, the remnants of humanity began living within defensive barriers, resulting in one hundred years without a single titan encounter. However, that fragile calm is soon shattered when a colossal Titan manages to breach the supposedly impregnable outer wall, reigniting the fight for survival against the man-eating abominations.

After witnessing a horrific personal loss at the hands of the invading creatures, Eren Yeager dedicates his life to their eradication by enlisting into the Survey Corps, an elite military unit that combats the merciless humanoids outside the protection of the walls. Eren, his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman, and his childhood friend Armin Arlert join the brutal war against the Titans and race to discover a way of defeating them before the last walls are breached.

My Opinion/Review

It's one of my favorite anime of all time. I wish I could watch it again like watching it for the first time. The story development, the characters, and their development, animation, fights, actions, and voice acting are some of the best I've experienced.

When I watched the anime I was captivated and mesmerized by everything this anime has shown so far. The more I talk about it the more I start loving it. 

There are few people out there who are, unsatisfied with the show or whatever they are provided, just sitting to criticize. 

I genuinely love this anime and its characters. 

Especially the current season going on which is Season 4, is just insane. It made me realize why I love this show again. Every episode is unique and captivates you till the end and before you realize the episode ends.

I can say if you watch anime then this show is a must.

Demon Slayer

Many people consider Demon Slayer to have the potential to be a part of the new big three anime. I don't disagree with them either.

Before giving my opinion here's a small synopsis

Ever since the death of his father, the burden of supporting the family has fallen upon Tanjirou Kamado's shoulders. Though living impoverished on a remote mountain, the Kamado family are able to enjoy a relatively peaceful and happy life. One day, Tanjirou decides to go down to the local village to make a little money selling charcoal. On his way back, night falls, forcing Tanjirou to take shelter in the house of a strange man, who warns him of the existence of flesh-eating demons that lurk in the woods at night.

When he finally arrives back home the next day, he is met with a horrifying sight—his whole family has been slaughtered. Worse still, the sole survivor is his sister Nezuko, who has been turned into a bloodthirsty demon. Consumed by rage and hatred, Tanjirou swears to avenge his family and stay with his only remaining sibling. Alongside the mysterious group calling themselves the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjirou will do whatever it takes to slay the demons and protect the remnants of his beloved sister's humanity.

My Opinion/Review

Many people say "its story is not well portrayed and its story is not good enough, or this show is only popular because of its animation".

Well, it's their opinion, there's nothing can be done to change their mind. I can only give my opinion about the show.

This anime has some of the best visuals and animation which I find really mind-blowing. I really like the story and the characters and how they are trying to get stronger and stronger to fight the demons. This anime show the character's development and their kindness, sense of justice, and bonding are just heartwarming.

I am in no position to criticize anyone but I really can't understand why they aren't satisfied with this anime, well whatever.

I am currently watching its season 2 and I can say one thing "wow". I mean I knew the animation is one of the strong points but the animation in season 2 is just over the top. I just can't believe that the animators pulled out something this crazy.

I strongly recommend this show to whoever wants to watch anime with mind-blowing animation and action.

You will not regret it. It's worth your time so just go for it.

One Piece

You might already know about this anime. It's a part of the Big Three (Naruto, One Piece, Bleach).

If you don't know then let me give you a small synopsis.

Gol D. Roger was known as the "Pirate King," the strongest and most infamous being to have sailed the Grand Line. The capture and execution of Roger by the World Government brought a change throughout the world. His last words before his death revealed the existence of the greatest treasure in the world, One Piece. It was this revelation that brought about the Grand Age of Pirates, men who dreamed of finding One Piece—which promises an unlimited amount of riches and fame—and quite possibly the pinnacle of glory and the title of the Pirate King.

Enter Monkey D. Luffy, a 17-year-old boy who defies your standard definition of a pirate. Rather than the popular persona of a wicked, hardened, toothless pirate ransacking villages for fun, Luffy's reason for being a pirate is one of pure wonder: the thought of an exciting adventure that leads him to intriguing people and ultimately, the promised treasure. Following in the footsteps of his childhood hero, Luffy and his crew travel across the Grand Line, experiencing crazy adventures, unveiling dark mysteries, and battling strong enemies, all in order to reach the most coveted of all fortunes—One Piece.

My Opinion/Review

I am definitely loving the show. It's undoubtedly worth watching. Many people are hesitating to start One Piece because it's running with over 1000+ episodes and 1000+ chapters in manga or they think its art style is different or it has many6 arcs, but trust me you just need to start it and you will get hooked on to it.

It might take time to catch up to the latest episodes but it will be fun and you will not regret it.

Even I hesitated, in the beginning, thinking that it's too long and art style will not be up to my preference but as I started it, I just got hooked to it and now I am a fan of One Piece. 

There are many out there saying "I don't like its art style", for those there is one thing I can say that kind of art style is One Piece's signification.

I enjoyed every single episode of One Piece from the very beginning to the latest one. One Piece arcs are shown very well and brilliantly.

Every character introduced in One Piece is unique and has their place, it's not like they are forced to be in the series despite being not able to fit in. Even the minor character introduced in the series has his/her role and stronghold. 

One Piece is one of the few anime that lets you ride on the roller coaster of emotions.

If you start the show then you will experience various emotions and feelings. And you might even start loving it so much.

THANK YOU FOR READING TILL THE END.
