Attack on Titan(Shingeki no kyojin)

This anime grabbed me in the first episode. Kept me on the edge of my seat. It's so intense. The concept and storyline are on point and keep you thrilled and wanting more. I´ve seen all the episodes several times but it still makes me feel like for the first time. It has a gripping story, fantastic music, and really good animation. Definitely one of the best anime I have seen.

The story is one of the most captivating stories I have ever seen. Hundred years prior to the start of the anime, humanity has been on the bridge of extinction due to the monstrous, humongous humanoid Titans that devour humans. Now, at present day in the anime, the remaining small inhabitants of mankind lives in a restricted area surround with 3 "heavenly" walls that are so strongly and solidly built that even the Titans can't break in. The most outermost wall was named, Wall Maria, which is approximately 50 meters in height, the middle wall was named Wall Rose, and the innermost wall named Wall Sina. Unfortunately for mankind, a colossal titan, one that is even bigger than the 50 meters "heavenly walls", breaks Wall Maria, allowing the other titans to rampage the city, thus leading to another massacre of mankind. During this massacre, our main characters, Eren Yeager and Mikasa Ackerman watched a horrifying titan rips their mother's head off, then gobbles her up the whole. Vowing that he'd one day avenge mankind and exterminate all the Titans, Eren Yeager trains to become a survey corp, brave heroic soldiers who go outside the walls, into the plains in order to fight the Titans. But we soon find out, that Eren is much more special than he seems, not only is he a brave warrior, but he's also something else that could be the key to humanity's survival, but could also be humanity's destruction.

The anime showed how the cycle of life works. Humans, we steal animals away from their families, we kill them, we eat them. What's so different from us, and the Titans? The feelings of not being at the top of the food chain. We fight for the existent of humanity.

The art and music can be described in one word: AMAZING! The art drawings were absolutely stunning! From the characters/titans to the setting of the story to all the equipment used in battle. The characters all had a unique aspect to them. The settings of the anime were beautiful. The cities and walls looked realistic, the plains that characters dreamed of seeing made me want to run outside to see for myself how beautiful nature really is, and how humans under appreciate the naturality of nature. The 3-D gear was something that really caught my eye, and will certainly catch other people's eyes as well. A new form of action that's never been seen before. The characters would literally fly from rooftop to rooftop slicing their swords at the Titans at high-speeds that keep the viewers' eyes locked onto the screen at all times. The soundtrack in the anime was epic. The openings speak for themselves, they do the anime justice. The openings were outstanding and certainly set the mood of what was to come from the anime. "They're the prey, and we are the hunters!" The rest of the soundtrack in the anime was AMAZING. How can one describe how amazing those German OSTs were. They fit in perfectly with the epicness of the anime and certainly added tons of suspense to the 3-D maneuver gear action.

It's a 10/10 for me.

Recommendation: Highly Recommended.

The Flash

The show started excellently well with a gripping pilot and a good storyline. The flash was an exciting new addition to the arrowverse, with its first season being exceptional. Viewers immediately fell in love with Grant Gustin's Barry Allen (The Flash). The season was how he gets his powers, then learns how to use/control them and then tries to solve the mystery of his mother's death to avenge his father. Which was amazing and enjoyable. After that gradually you wish to be able to go back into the mind of a little child. Sorry to say but if you have an IQ higher than that of a ten-year-old or are not a complete idiot, you will witness how cruelly they have killed a DC superhero character 'The Flash' and emerged a new universe of 'Power Rangers', where Barry Allen (The Flash) plays as a sidekick of his wife Iris. Flash seems to forget about his intelligent personality who can figure out the danger and countermeasures on his own. I thought his ability to ru...

Monster

People traditionally associate Japanese animes with the likes of Pokemon and Dragonball Z where all that happens are flashy fights. So, it is often very difficult to convince non-anime fans that there's more to them. Monster is not typical anime, it is not even a series or a video, it is an experience I have gone through watching this piece of brilliance called Monster. It is a masterpiece. The show started and the art was realistic for an anime, something I hadn't quite experienced before. The opening theme song wasn't an annoying pop song that grated on my ears and made me snicker. The characters were real. The background music always fit the scenes and was never overbearing. The language spoken was honest and like something I could hear on the street. Germany looked like Germany and not some twisted version of Japan. The story was compelling. You can truly connect with every character. You'll see a person on screen for, at most, five minutes, but they'll ha...

The Punisher

Finally, Punisher has done right! After so many fails from other film companies, Netflix decides to go all out and nailed it. They almost pull him right out of the comic which could not have been easy, from the deep yells as he unloads his guns on the bad guys to the twitch of a man who is now disturbed but slightly keeping it together to the tie in of the Punishers mane nemesis. This show is one of the best Netflix Marvel shows hands down. All of the main characters are great! It's an awesome superhero show, that isn't really a superhero show. Some might say that it's wrong to call The Punisher, Daredevil, etc "superhero" shows. But as the late, great Stan Lee said: "That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is true without a doubt, a real superhero." They don't need to be "super" to be heroes. As usual, Frank Castle doesn't have any special abilities, he's...
