Pretty wild
15 September 2021
It's a pretty well done movie. The story is interesting and unfolds well. Being a movie, the budget is higher, so the technical section is much better.

New jutsus come out that are very good and even Sakura herself has one! I can not believe it!

Don't forget the Bocchi
15 September 2021
What a precious thing the Bocchi. The scoop is quite simple but at the time of execution it is developed with a subtlety and beauty that is incredible. Seeing Bocchi making friends and connecting with other people is very sweet and can even identify you if at some point you were in this situation (in my case, several times).

In addition, the dose of comedy is well placed and never exaggerates the protagonist, in fact, there is a development of it, quite simple, but there is.

The other side of the coin
28 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
It was very nice and interesting to see the other side of the coin, to see how the other girls felt about Azusa and how they wanted to thank them for everything they did. The movie felt like the same end of the series but seen from another point of view. Seeing the girls for the last time, doing the things they do was beautiful, in addition, the animation felt more fluid and much better, I also noticed how in certain scenes small moments occurred within it, as background details, this deepening I loved .

The weird thing about the movie is that it can lose a little to the one who sees K-on for the first time and not know where the ending really is.

I'm going to miss Ho-kago Tea Time, it was a good trip but it all has to end, and move on. Do not forget, remember.

K-On! (2009–2010)
Thanks K-On!
28 August 2021
Difficult to put into words what I felt.

Seeing k-on was an escape, a sigh from all the problems I had in my day to day, watching a chapter was completely disconnecting from the real world and enjoying a wonderful story.

The tranquility and simplicity make the series a very difficult work for me to overcome. His story always felt organic, human. Her characters, so simple and unique in their sense, from Yui with her big heart, Mio and her shyness, Mugi with her sweetness, to Ritsu with her explosiveness. He knows how to create funny, funny moments, ilarious situations, but he also knows how to make me cry, make us feel sad and a little depressed, but always with a smile.

I am writing this and my desire to cry does not disappear, they are still here, and here they will stay. K-on is not for everyone, it does not have a strong plot, nor an extremely great character development, and it is precisely because of this that I consider it one of the best series I have seen. Also, isn't it incredible that such beautiful songs come from here? It really is a gem in every way.

Graduation is not the end. Thanks K-On!

A path through your own time
28 August 2021
Seeing "J'ai perdu mon corps" was a constant feeling of nostalgia, a cold current that ran through my body throughout the film. I really enjoyed watching it. A very important factor and point here is that the film itself offers you a free way for you to interpret what you feel when you see it and that seems perfect to me.

And of course, its soundtrack is more than excellent, it is one of the most beautiful things I have heard in a long time.

Elfen Lied (2004)
Maybe in another time
18 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Elfen Lied is another case where I felt that I could have enjoyed the series better if I had seen it in another time.

It is very well directed and knows what it wants and perfectly transmits what it feels, on paper it is perfect, but I personally as the story progressed I was questioning everything and did not get to enjoy it completely.

But not everything is bad, the series in its last three or four episodes hits a quality leap and becomes a much more polished and interesting story, ending in what is (for now) one of my favorite anime / series endings . The Inception (movie) style conclusion was excellent and perfect, I was completely surprised.

Another very important and strong point is not only its soundtrack and its epic opening, but the use, meaning, symbolism and importance that is given to these in the course of the series and in its end.

My final grade is 7/10. Considering this, it is a highly recommended, enjoyable and intriguing show.

Baki the Grappler (2001–2007)
Punching and kicking for everyone
14 August 2021
The question with Baki is quite simple, when you understand that any kind of feeling towards another person is expressed through being beaten down, the series is much more enjoyable.

I'm not going to lie to you, love Baki. I love their unbelievable fights, their physically impossible bodies, their completely random dialogues, those secret techniques that come out of nowhere just to increase epicity. It's excellent.

Baki (this series and the current one) is one of my favorite anime, for two reasons: Because it is the first anime I saw and because it does not mind being only a fighting series, and is proud in that sense.

Black Spot (2017–2019)
An interesting French proposal
14 August 2021
These series always get very slow at some point, but overall they are two excellent seasons.

It has all the necessary seasonings that I like. A town in the middle of nowhere, a mystical forest and "something" that lives in it. I hope we have one more season to conclude.

Roberta's conclusion
14 August 2021
Personally, Roberta and Garcia's arc on the show was the best for me. Two characters that I felt so unique and incredible. Therefore, these five OVAs that make up a season only enlarge and improve a story that was already excellent.

There was a lot of talk about whether Black Lagoon will return with another season or not. For my part, if new episodes do not come back, I am very happy with this ending and happy to know the tremendous development of a character like Roberta.

Black Lagoon (2006)
I don't know what title to put
10 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The truth is that I started watching Black Lagoon just because Revy looks identical to Misato (from evangelion) and I thought it was just going to be a pirate anime, I don't know why.

One of the strong points of the series is to make the stories in arcs of only a couple of episodes, that may make you believe that the stories and the characters are stuck only there, but this is not the case. In fact, another point that I liked a lot is the capacity that anime has little by little to join the threads of the different stories.

As for the characters, they are all very characteristic, special and extravagant if you will. Not only in its design, the fact that we pass from a yakuza to some killer brothers makes it fascinating.

My grade is an 8 because it is an anime that, although I am not obsessed with finishing it, it kept me from continuing and that is valued.

HONORABLE MENTION: Roberta I love you.

Her (2013)
8/10
good good good
27 July 2021
A very very very interesting love story? Science fiction? Drama? The truth is I do not know. The film does an excellent job of joining those three lines and I contend that this occurs because of those well chosen pastel colors that give the whole film a special aura.

Also, Joaquín Phoenix does a tremendous job here, that man can literally interpret anything.

If I could, I'd give it an 11
27 July 2021
GOD, I love too much IjiranaideNagatoro-san.

Yes, it is one more romantic comedy, but it happens that its characters are so endearing. The dynamic between these is reinforced little by little as the series progresses, and new characters who were initially annoying, are now an important part. The two leads complement each other very well and it never feels like it's forced, it all works together. I hope a second season comes out as soon as possible, I need more.

Ex Machina (2014)
8/10
It's fine
27 July 2021
I had such high expectations, that in the end I ended up enjoying this movie but not completely.

I feel that it complies with what it offers and that's it.

Castlevania (2017–2021)
A Netflix masterpiece
25 June 2021
Spectacular season and spectacular closing for a spectacular series. The level of animation that I handle during all these years was incredible and in this last season the quality is doubled. All the stories come to an end in the right way, leaving a series well built from the beginning, with some endearing characters (for me, the best was Isaac), and with a legacy that I hope will end with new series from this universe.

The Informer (2019)

It's okay
24 June 2021
Pretty decent movie, with a very interesting cast. I liked it more than I expected. These types of movies are perfect for Joel Kinnaman.

Golden Kamuy (2018– )
A perfectly particular anime
18 June 2021
Long before seeing Golden Kamuy I had that feeling that when I started watching it it would become one of my favorite anime. And indeed that happened, the series has that right dose of comedy, seriousness, emotion. Although it has some strange middle parts (I'm talking to you, sauna episode) it is all well measured and makes everything fit perfectly. Beyond that, the story never loses strength, rather it intensifies even more, gradually incorporating very varied characters. In general everything is perfect.

If you hesitate to start it, don't be hard on the bear.

Baki (2018–2020)
One of the series that made me enter the world of anime.
24 May 2021
Baki will not have the best story, not even the best animation (I'm talking to you 3D) but it is an anime that caught me as I progressed. Also, if your series has Yujiro Hanma as one of its protagonists, you already won. My friend, that character is evil incarnate, one of the best characters I ever saw.

Lion (2016)
8/10
A story told many times, but still moving.
24 May 2021
These types of films have been around for years and in short they are quite similar. But seeing everything that a person suffers in his life is hurtful if you will and makes you think that one would do in situations posed as in the film.

A sea of Tears
24 May 2021
From minute zero I had that feeling of crying, it is a very epic and action-packed film, but its best moments stand out (for me) in the sentimental approach. Also, seeing her at the cinema was a unique experiencie.

He had very high expectations and not only did he meet them, he surpassed them. "If i saw this movie alone in my house, it was a sea of tears" and yes my firend, he is correct.

An interesting story about "fame".
3 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Interesting film, it is very silent, but that silence is perfect when it comes to unfolding the story, which in a very short time comes to a conclusion. Visually it is beautiful, with those cold planes of the river, wind and silence, all connected to a very subtle soundtrack according to the film. Jorge García does an incredible job with what he has.

Parasyte: The Maxim (2014–2015)
Interesting or not, but with a particular focus.
24 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I do not know what note to put Parasyte. Is it a good series? Of course, its start-up is fast, direct and engaging, making it easy to follow. The reality is that I do not find any type of fault, only that the more the story progressed, I felt that more was disconnected, and at a certain point I do not consider this bad, rather it is the type of development that follows the path of the protagonist, that of isolating oneself and emotionally disconnecting from others.

Another strong point is the theme and message it gives about the human being and its relationship with other species and the environment and how little we understand other species, especially associated with episodes near the end. The approach in this way seemed very successful to me.

As a plus I want to say that the ending is one of the most beautiful things I heard.

Himouto! Umaru-chan (2015–2017)
A simple comedy with very nice moments.
18 April 2021
Himouto tells a simple story and completely easy to follow, his first season is fine but the second season is when you introduce (more) secondary characters and their stories are developed in relation to Umaru, leaving characters as endearing as Kirie (personally my favorite). Hopefully a third part comes out because I want to see more.

One of the best
3 April 2021
The moral debate that comes with it is something that has already been seen but in this film, being of such a slow development, you hardly even realize the transformation that the protagonist undergoes. Visually it is a simple but that simplicity and static makes it even more precious.

There is no way A24 would make bad movies.

A great find!
3 April 2021
A very particular anime. All very delicate subjects in an unusual way but it never stops being forced. It perfectly transcends the way of being of the characters and organically.

I don't give it a 10 because it lacks "that thing" that makes me believe it's perfect. Anyway, it was very nice and nice to wait a whole week for a new episode.
