I can say without a doubt, that this is the best season of MHA so far.

The production, animation, and direction are a major step up from last season. The studio really want beyond its limits to end with a good note to all fans of this anime. You can truly see they put blood, sweat, and tears into making this an enjoyable experience to watch.

It's sad to see that this is the last season of one of my favorite shounen anime, but it will forever hold a place in my heart. Their story doesn't end from there.

Overall, the final season is worth watching ... and will make you go PLUS ULTRA. It definitely deserves a 10/10 for me but that's just my opinon.

The movie is a continuation from Season 1 of Chainsaw Man where it introduces Reze, the Bomb Devil. If you loved watching S1 of CSM, you will definitely enjoy this movie. So here's my review:

Plot: 8/10
The plot is a solid and simple. It's a tragic love story between Denji and Reze. There are twists and unexpected moments here and there which changes how you feel about a certain character. Also, some symbols were used in the movie which sets up the scenes for later. It creates this unease feeling when watching the movie like you know something is about to happen. Another thing is that ... it was a bit predictable, but the delivery carried it where it didn't matter that much.

Art: 10/10
It's gorgeous. As expected from MAPPA. They really stepped up and took CSM to the next level with all of the visuals. The background art is amazing. The way they were drawn were just beautiful and it really immersed me into the movie. The colors were also vibrant, it felt a bit chaotic but at the same time, fun. Lastly, is that they drew Denji's Hybrid Form in 2D instead of the usual 3D that we saw in S1 which I really liked.

Fight Choreography: 7/10
The fights are really well done and the choreography is amazing. But towards the end, It's full of BOOMS BOOMS BOOMS. While the explosions were visually stunning, It felt a bit overwhelming and repetitive to put them everywhere which made me think what the f was going on. Like it was hard to follow the story.

Soundtrack/ Sound Design: 10/10
Same with the art, its gorgeous. The opening and ending scenes, are amazing. The background soundtracks, are really good and set the mood for each scene. Nothing much I can say.

Overall, the movie is a 9/10, its enjoyable to watch and you won't get bored.

The movie is where the anime becomes even more PEAK.

It really has everything to offer from emotional scenes to action packed fighting. Riko, Reg, and Nanachi are lovable main characters and they have their own set of unique personalities. The music and story telling is amazing, it's not possible to get bored watching this as it immerses you into the story. The antagonist of the arc, Bondrewd, is such a fascinating character. He will do anything to uncover the mysteries of the Abyss. Even if it meant experimenting on children.

Overall, definitely give this movie a try if you want to bawl your eyes out.

Made in Abyss is not what you think it would be when watching it for the first time. It's a show that is full of surprises which I love about it.

From the start, it fools you into thinking that this would be a fun and great adventure into the Abyss with Riko and her robot companion named Reg. But as the story progresses, it gets a whole lot darker quickly. The Abyss is an unforgiving place. It has a curse that affects anyone who tries to ascend from it and the side effects gets worse as the deeper you go. Not only that, it contains ... dangerous creatures that are looking to prey on you. Which is why the story is good as our main characters explore this unknown place where they face challenges and even suffering.

To conclude: This is definitely an anime worth watching if you are looking for a well-written plot, complex characters, and psychological depth. Made in Abyss isn't just an adventure, it's a world that is both beautiful and terrifying.

Look Back is one of those beautiful work of fiction that will you make you emotional. Despite its short runtime, the story will you get hooked from start to finish. The animation is breathtaking, you can truly see that the studio put in the effort in making this a masterpiece. The characters, Kiyomi and Fujino, are well-written and complex. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses in drawing. One is good at drawing characters and dialogue while the other in background art which makes them the perfect pair for each other. Furthermore, the music is beautiful, it gives every scene in the film, the ... perfect tone. Besides all of that, it asks you some thought provoking questions like "Why do you draw?" making us, the watchers, reflect on the reason why we pursue something. Overall, this movie is definitely worth your time as it will literally touch your soul and has amazing story-telling. Thank you Fujimoto for this work.
