  • Berserk Episode 1 - 1 Min Review

    Pacing The episode starts with intense action and dark themes, immediately immersing viewers in the brutal world of Berserk. The pacing is fast and relentless, introducing Guts, the Black Swordsman, and his violent encounters without much exposition. While this keeps the energy high, newcomers might find it overwhelming without prior knowledge of the series. Fight Scenes The combat is brutal and unforgiving, showcasing Guts’ immense strength and skill with his massive sword. The tavern brawl and battle against supernatural enemies set the tone for the series, emphasizing its violent and grim nature. However, the CG animation style used in this adaptation has been criticized for feeling stiff compared to traditional hand-drawn animation. Room for Improvement One of the biggest concerns is the visual style—the CG animation doesn’t blend well with the dark, gritty atmosphere of Berserk, making some scenes feel awkward. Additionally, the episode lacks deep character development, focusing more on action than establishing Guts’ backstory, which might leave new viewers confused. Conclusion Episode 1 of Berserk is a bold and intense introduction, delivering brutal action and setting up the dark fantasy world effectively. While the CG animation and lack of exposition may be drawbacks, the episode successfully establishes the violent and unforgiving tone of the series. If you enjoy dark, mature anime with intense battles, this episode sets the stage for an uncompromising journey. Rating 8.2 /10

  • Kaiju No. 8 Season 1 Review

    Seasons: 1 Episodes: 12 Genre: Fantasy, Adventure, Mystery, Action, Sci-Fi Season Rating: 8.2/10 In One Word: Thrilling Available On: Crunchyroll Synopsis Kaiju No. 8 is about a man named Kafka who dreams of fighting monsters but ends up stuck cleaning up after them. After a weird accident, he turns into a kaiju himself and has to hide it while trying to join the Defense Force. Characters Kafka is funny, stubborn, and easy to like because he never gives up, even when everything goes wrong. It’s cool to see an older character be the main hero for once. Mina is a stoic, tough and serious woman but you can tell she still cares about Kafka deep down. Reno is younger and looks up to Kafka a lot, and they become good friends. All the characters add a mixture of indiviuality which helps to connect views with the world of Kaiju No. 8 Art & Animation The fights look amazing, with lots of action and crazy monster designs. Even the normal scenes have good colors and animation. Storyline & Themes Some would say this anime is about chasing your dreams no matter how old you are. There is also a sci-fi theme - Are we along on the planet? It also shows how hard it is to be yourself when you're scared of what people might think. The story moves fast and never gets boring, especially during the battles. Some parts slow down for training, but it still stays interesting. I wish they showed more about where the kaiju came from and how the world works. Also, Mina is cool but it would be nice to see more of her personality. Overall, Kaiju No. 8 is really awesome and I think anyone who likes action and monsters would love it.

  • Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes: A Bold New Chapter in the Saga

    Rating: 8.9/10 Intro The Planet of the Apes franchise has consistently delivered thought-provoking sci-fi with stunning visuals, and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes continues that tradition. Directed by Wes Ball, this latest installment takes place generations after Caesar’s reign, exploring a world where apes have fully established their own civilizations while humans struggle to survive. The Story The film follows Noa, a young chimpanzee from the Eagle Clan, who embarks on a journey after his home is destroyed by the tyrannical Proximus Caesar. Along the way, Noa encounters Raka, an orangutan who still believes in Caesar’s teachings, and a mysterious human named Nova. The story is a mix of adventure and political intrigue, with themes of power, loyalty, and survival woven throughout. Visuals The film is breathtaking. The motion-capture performances are once again top-tier, bringing the apes to life with incredible realism. The world-building is rich, showing how different ape factions have evolved over time. The action sequences are intense, and the emotional moments hit hard, making Noa’s journey compelling from start to finish. The Future is Ape While the film doesn’t quite reach the emotional depth of War for the Planet of the Apes, it successfully expands the franchise in new directions. Some critics have praised its epic scope and stunning visuals, while others feel the story plays it a bit safe. However, it’s clear that Kingdom sets the stage for future films, leaving plenty of room for exciting developments. Overall Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a worthy addition to the franchise. It may not surpass the previous trilogy, but it delivers a gripping adventure with strong performances and world-building that keeps the series alive.
