Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Sci-fi romance done right and the best manga adaptation ever made
This was not what we needed, this was what we deserved from an anime/manga adaptation. I'm gonna be honest with y'all, I love reading manga and watching anime but I've never in my life seen a good adaptation of those things. Sure the Bleach one wasn't as bad as Death Note and all the attack on titan and what not, but I still didn't enjoy it. I haven't enjoyed any of them.
That was until I saw Alita: Battle Angel this weekend. I haven't read the manga "Battle angel Alita" or seen the anime adaptation "Gunnm". But I know enough to know where the film should go to be considered a good movie. It starts of really well but then kinda drops the pacing a bit until it gets really good. So the beginning is really well made but the pacing can feel a little bit out of place sometimes, especially after the start of the film. I wanted to know a little bit more about Alita and her origins. Other than that I think the film really kicks you in and you can just enjoy the whole film without worries.
It has great characters, especially the main characters being: Alita and Hugo. They are such well written characters with great origins and story's to tell, though I would've wanted a little more backstory for them both. They also have a really great villain, which I do not want to spoil cause he's so mysterious and just screams villain. The other bad guys also feel really thought out and it's clear what they want to do, which is really re-freshing, cause I think that can be a really stupid problem in modern movies.
The plot itself is really easy to understand and I think this movie really tells what it wants to in a really good way. The surroundings feel so old but at the same time so new and modern. They have this really cool sport called motor ball which can both feel very cool cause it really says a lot about the characters when they're playing it but It can also feel like they're trying to do this really big, modern sport but not quite mastering it.
And as I said before, I haven't watched or read any of the manga or anime adaptations of this story but I can tell you that this works really good as a stand alone movie but also as a love letter to all of the many fans out there that have been dying for this movie to finally come out.
It's really worth the hype!
Final verdict:
Though the story was a little too fast sometimes and I wish I could know the characters a little bit more then we already knew I think this movie was really well written and I would love to see a sequel after the avatar sequel. It's easy to say that this is true to the source material and I do highly recommend it to all types of movie fans. Whether you've read the manga or not this is a truly fantastic and beautiful movie and I will now watch the anime and read the manga until the sequel comes out.
Death Note: Desu nôto (2006)
Mysterious and clever
I'm a big fan of anime but never have I seen one quite like Death Note. Death note is about a teenager named Light who is one of the smartest students in all of Japan. He's too smart for everything and everyone and he thinks that his life is too boring. But one day he finds a mysterious note book, called the death note. Light just thinks it is some stupid joke but he takes it with him home. When he tries it for himself he soon knows what It's all about. When you write a persons name in the notebook that person will die. He then meets the shinigami Ryuk who owns the note book. Light's goal is to be the god of the new world and he kills all the criminals in Japan. The police tries to find Light or Kira, which is his serial killer name. The police takes help from L, who is one of the best detectives in the world. Light and L fights for who is truly Justice.
The story is full with so many plot twists and that's probably one of the best things about it. The characters is also really good especially Light and L, It's so cool to see them coming closer and closer to each other every episode. So this is probably the best anime I've ever seen and I think you should watch it if you haven't.
God of War (2018)
One of the best games ever made
When I first played this game, I was completely blind. I had never played a god of war game before, but I thought that this game looked awesome and my friend really enjoyed it. In the first hour of the game I really liked it but when I reached the half I adored it so freaking much. The combat is really good, the leviathan axe is one of the most satisfying weapons to use in video games period and the chaos blades is no exception. It has really good characters especially Kratos and Atreus. The story is awesome cause of the bosses, the characters and all of the amazing places. The combat mechanics is one of the best things in the game cause of how in depth it is. You can upgrade literally everything that you have, even Atreus armor. I didn't know much about kratos cause I haven't played the other games in the series but the game is so good at teaching the player everything you have to know about the characters. The ending is also really touching and it made me almost cry. The secret ending is honestly one of the best things I've experienced in a video game ever.
Boku no hîrô akademia (2016)
One of the best super hero Stories ever made
When I first watched this in late 2016, I thought It was okay and I didn't think it was going to be that special, but like 10 episodes in I couldn't stop watching. I had a hard time waiting for season 2 and when it dropped I was nervous to see if it could hold up to the masterpiece that was the first season. And when I watched I was so happy. The second season was as good, if not better than the first one. And the third season kept surprising me too. It was so cool to see everything from Dekus perspective, that he had no super powers but everyone else did. And then all might helped him. It was so good. So to all of you anime fans that loves shounen classics such as Naruto, Dragon ball and one piece, please do yourself a favor and watch this masterpiece. Cause I really think that this is up there with Death note and Full metal alchemist brotherhood as one of the best anime of all time.
