If you are interested in seeing a side story about the MHA characters post the super-serious battle in the latest season, and especially with a lighter setting, this "movie" might just fit the bill. For me, it worked like any other MHA piece.
The plot is about a superhero battle, just with a card game spin to it. The animation is pretty much the same in terms of quality, and there's ample action and humor to back the proceedings. Nothing unpredictable about the plot, and even though it feels like a marketing strategy for an actual card game, this special is harmless and good fun for
...
MHA fans. Intro and outro songs are the same as in S6.
Action scenes are well designed, especially keeping the card game backdrop in mind. While it might not leave you overwhelmed with some complex plot twist, or teary eyed, this is just a fun wholesome special episode which caters to fans who just want to see their favorite heroes happy and having fun after a rather fighting a dark and soul-shattering war.

I'm glad the makers decided to release these recap specials as it had been a long time since I personally revisited the first season of JJK. In fact, watching these back-to-back gave the story a chronological order, making the events more understandable. It also feels like the story of Gojo and his evolution as he teaches new students every time. Although it's a given that no one usually would jump to season 2 without watching season 1, these specials do a good job of summarizing the story so far and can help newcomers understand the plot before they prepare themselves for a much hyped next
...
arc all set to premiere next. I would still personally recommend checking out the episodes and the movie in their entirety to truly understand the characters and universe of JJK, but these specials which are also edited and paced tightly, hold a standalone entertaining value in themselves, therefore recommendable to anyone who wants to start JJK and also doesn't have the time to watch each and every episode or the movie. Of course, those who have watched the previous seasons and the movie might get disappointed with certain scenes not getting included, which is inevitable. However, these specials intend to summarize the story so far and help the viewer understand it in a chronological order, and it's a job this recap succeeds in doing without fail.

It's hard for me to process why this season got so much hate and so less praise.
To be honest, this season shone as well as outshone the first season in ways more than one. I thought the animation was neat, the voice acting was top notch, and the action sequences interwoven with twists and turns were delivered brutally. With the episode count slashed in comparison to the first season, there was still a story and an urgency to tell it. It actually got a lot more twisted this time, and didn't even hold back in terms of getting darker.
The time travel aspect wasn't explained
...
in detail, so those looking for a lot of intricacy might find themselves confused, while those willing to enjoy the show for what it is: a violent action drama about a guy struggling to save his ladylove and friends, would find less to complain about. The previous season took time to set the conflict up while this one cut to the chase faster. And when that happened, it served what it was meant to: pure, raw, unflinching action sequences. Whether it was a fight spanning four or five episodes or just a few kicks or punches spanning four or five seconds, the action made its presence felt in each and every episode.
Plus, the character drama was even stronger this time. Friendly, fraternal and romantic bonds were portrayed with sincerity, and Takemichi's crying didn't feel forced or overdone for the most part. it actually showed him grow up, even though not by leaps and bounds, which is natural and expected of a character like him. Other characters such as Chifuyu got more prominence than last time, and the message of never backing down irrespective of how weak or strong one is, was delivered with subtlety.
This season's ratings were lower and I felt there wasn't really a lot of discussion about how good this season was. In fact, I mostly saw people trashing the manga as a whole online, and loving this season made me realize some opinions are better left ignored. If you enjoyed the previous season, chances are you will end up feeling the same this time around. The lower episode count allows for a binge watch, which is great considering how most of the episodes will leave you wanting to know what happens next.

Like most of you, I too was skeptical of the CGI treatment for the anime. Having loved the 1998 anime to the fullest, I was not sure if this new style would work. I also wasn't a fan of the altered hairstyle for the protagonist Vash. But...
I gave it a shot with an open mind, and it worked.
First off, if you absolutely HATE CGI and are in no mood to even give it a chance, then forget about this series and stop reading this review. If not, continue reading.
Trigun Stampede manages to overcome the CGI factor with the help of a strongly written storyline, resonant
...
character drama and stunningly presented action sequences. In fact, you could go ahead with watching it even without watching the 1998 series and you might still end up enjoying it. I'm not lying when I say the CGI instead turned out to be pretty... impressive. Also, several action sequences were presented in a single shot, which is pretty commendable and spectacular to watch. You don't see that happening everyday in most anime, do you?
And well, the music: I've been dying to write about this aspect ever since I heard to the intro and outro songs for the first time. What a fantastic choice! I NEVER skipped the opening even after listening to it multiple times. That's the impact it had on me. The ending song felt pretty emotional and touching, serving as a perfect way to conclude every episode.
At core, this is a story about brothers. Brotherhood is a recurring theme in the show and it is portrayed sincerely from beginning to end. The emotional quotient is another major positive, as this wasn't something I expected from this adaptation. In fact, there is little to no humor unlike 1998 and Vash isn't seen in a goofy avatar for the most time. This series keeps getting darker, as a result of which there's plenty of blood and gore as well, which you might not have expected beforehand, so proceed with that in mind.
The slow moving CGI at times could be the only actual thing going against it, but most of the animation, artwork and voice acting are done sincerely, and to the extent that I thought this anime was a total surprise package at the end of the day. CGI haters will not really like it unless they too welcome this fresh change to the story with an open mind. That being said, the makers haven't forgotten to do justice to Vash by the end. In fact, they have saved a good surprise for the end, so please don't be too quick to judge the show for what it seems to be on surface. Trigun Stampede, with all its ups and downs, manages to find its palace among the best CGI anime shows ever created.

After a somewhat slow-paced (yet entertaining) previous season, My Hero Academia's sixth season arrives with a fast pace, is somewhat grimmer, emotionally charged and filled with non-stop action.
This season barely slows down except for one almost-recap episode, and keeps progressing with intensity. The mood is already dark this time and the constant focus on battles and some tragedy makes this pretty much one of the best seasons so far. The character development hits home and human element of our heroes doesn't get overshadowed by any other aspects. Episode after episode, this season achieves the effect old-fashioned superhero movies used to have, and one which is
...
sorely lacking in the modern times. The musical choice is also impressive as usual, with both the songs used to open and close the episodes managing to gel with the show's themes. This time, the humor is minimal but few moments evoke decent laughs from time to time. The fight sequences are highly impressive and the emotion behind those fights is what makes the viewing experience stronger and more immersive.
What I also admired about this show was the sense of urgency and yet not rushing things. Sure, there are a few things you might want to see more of, but the show handles the story well. However, the comic conversations and school moments take a backseat and majority of the episodes focus entirely on the war between the heroes and villains. Therefore, if you are expecting it to be as lighthearted as the previous seasons, it's not.
Superhero stories have always been about being the ideal heroes, saving the world, showing compassion towards those in need and battling evil with cool superpowers. Many modern works in this genre have displayed it, but the impact seems to be fading away. However, My Hero Academia, and especially its epic seventh season, continues to prove it's the human element at the core that makes a superhero story understandable, relatable, enjoyable, admirable. Therefore no superhero fan, action lover or an MHA admirer should miss this.

The final episode is yet to be aired, hence this review is about episode 1.
Attack on Titan finally returned after a year and delivered what was promised.
The first 10 minutes of this episode were the single most intense thing this series has delivered so far. Tonally downbeat and emotionally charged at the same time, it allowed the characters to shine whenever their time came. The animation here deserves special applause; MAPPA might have faced a lot of criticism for animating the previous season(s), but this time it has emerged a complete winner and all those complaints will eventually get overshadowed by the positives, which include
...
not just the art style or voice acting but most importantly, the story. The plot and character development were spot-on, and the conversations, heartfelt.
The action sequences were impressive as expected, and backed by a strong emotional core, felt truly epic. While there was a visible lack of humor or respite as this was almost the conclusion, the way intensity was maintained from beginning to end is commendable. 1 hour flew by without much realization, and the ending set the stage for an absolutely jaw-dropping, action-packed finale I as a manga reader am aware of but still curious to witness in animation. This episode had moments where you could shed a tear or two for the characters and the way the world has become for them, while also having moments which could make an entire theatre go crazy had it been released on the big screen. It's basically a movie than a usual 22 minute episode, and one where you won't feel the urge to take a break. It keeps delivering more and more fun throughout the runtime, and that includes the ending song.
As mentioned before, the storytelling alone is so brilliant and captivating that you're willing to overlook any minor flaws in the pacing. The second and final episode remains to air, but this one episode alone is enough to entertain for now and raise expectations for more action and drama to follow.

Long story cut short, this is more like an action sequence than a full-fledged story, and that's apt given its mere 2 minute runtime. You also don't need to worry about the lack of subtitles since there is no spoken dialogue in it. Just some brutal knife action from Thorfinn, and a surprising turn are what you get. It's animated pretty well, and those missing this old avatar of Thorfinn in the new season will find this a treat. As mentioned before there isn't much of a story but those who've felt the depth in Thorfinn's character in season 1 and the previous episodes of
...
season 2 can surely understand his actions. Don't think too much, just give it a watch unless you're expecting even a 2 minute scene to deliver a complex storytelling.

This anime was a mixed bag. Some episodes were really good, others were just plain horrible.
After watching the "prologue", I decided to watch this series and well, it was disappointing even though I was ready to embrace it with an open mind, given the disclaimer on the site that told me not to expect any plot from this. That's true: there really isn't one.
The opening episode stuns to some extent with a slightly gorgeous art and builds suspense with the help of music.
The second episode turns out to be slightly better with some conversation and a bit of good action.
The third episode holds
...
your attention with another good conversation.
The fourth episode is where everything goes downhill. Another conversation, but so boring and confusing that it kills your interest.
The fifth episode turns out to be above average, with some brief but cool animation, while some of the art is plain horrible.
The sixth episode is a major bore. Period.
I have mixed feelings about this anime since those who've read the manga might find this interesting, but as someone who didn't and was still able to understand most of what was going on, this anime just turned out to be bland. I might read the manga in the future if it interests me, but I can assure you I'm never revisiting this "masterpiece" anime in the future.

I didn't really know what to feel about it as I watched both the "episodes" unfold in front of my eyes. The art looked terrible, the sound seemed decent and the overall presentation felt average. I don't really get why the makers chose to split this prologue into two episodes when a single one would have sufficed, but I did admire a few shots. That being said, they were really far and few. Not having any dialogue wasn't the problem; trying to piece together the plot surely was, and in hindsight, a waste of time. I gave it a watch since I enjoyed the 2017
...
Blame film and that was my first time getting introduced to the series. But this so-called prologue left a terrible aftertaste which is the only memorable thing about this otherwise forgettable affair.

If you're an MHA fan, this ONA will leave you thrilled. The first one is an intriguing game of baseball mixed with superhero action. It has its share of humor and keeps you engaged. The second one, however, is even better. It combines action and humor with subtlety and makes sure you remember this one for quite some time. At least I am not going to forget it because it touched my heart to some extent and felt as if it spoke to me as someone who loves art (not necessarily drawing). These two episodes just showcase the simple and sweet side of MHA
...
which has made both the anime and its source manga relatable. Being fast-paced, hilarious and action-packed, this ONA promises to deliver nonstop entertainment and succeeds in achieving this set target. Recommended strongly for fans.
