My Anime 9/10′s

With probably no spoilers cuz I don’t wanna talk too long about them zzz.

1. Fullmetal Alchemist

YALL ALREADY KNOW THIS A 9/10. The only real reason this show is not a 10/10 is because it’s just a story that I’d never rewatch. There’s like 70 episodes, which is way too long for my short attention span, especially since I’ve seen it already. But yeah, by all accounts, this story is a masterpiece and is one of the only “shounen” anime’s that I genuinely enjoyed. No random sexualization. No dumb filler. All the characters have an actual purpose and role in the plot and everyone has their own morals and ideals that interact to make the story interesting. I couldn’t bring myself to really hate anyone, even the villains, because everyone was pretty well written. Also super satisfying ending that ties up everything properly without leaving me confused or upset. If you only watch a few anime in your life, Fullmetal Alchemist is pretty much a MUST WATCH to see a beautiful example of a modern classic anime as an artform. Also I should say that I really don’t like Hunter x Hunter (AN EXTREMELY CONTROVERSIAL OPINION BTW) but I love Fullmetal Alchemist so take from that what you will.

2. Parasyte: The Maxim

Same kinda shit where you already know this a 9/10 for me. It’s just a very satisfying anime that doesn’t have random sexualization or random filler or anything like that. Ending is also very good and ties up the story in a way that doesn’t leave more questions but also allows the characters to have a “life” outside of the scope of the story. I think Parasyte, because of its more horror and psychological-esque vibes, counts as a seinen and not a shounen, so for more mature audiences. I also really liked how the story was successfully adapted to modern times since the manga is from the 80′s. I have actually rewatched this anime, but what stops me from giving it a 10/10 is a few things that I found kinda “stereotypical” that I don’t wanna discuss further too much cuz it’s spoilers. I still obviously really like this anime and highly recommend it.

3. Zankyou no Terror

TBH, this anime is pretty hard for me to properly describe in a lot of words as to why I like it. The art was really pretty as well as the music, which was just straight up amazing. The cinematography of this anime is excellent as well, and a lot of scenes have that sense of being acted out by real people, as opposed to feeling completely drawn/animated. I was a teenager when this anime came out and I think a lot of the themes presented in the show really related to me. The show does kinda have some leftover questions when it ends that prevents me from rating it a 10/10, but I have such a soft spot for this anime. It’s from the same creator as Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop, and although those two animes are also very good, they did not impact me as much as this anime did. Recommended for people looking for idk something that gives off Inception vibes?? In the sense that it’s much more about its themes and its message more so than the believability of the events that occur.

4. Magic Kaito 1412

THIS IS JUST A PERSONAL PREFERENCE BTW LOLOL I DON’T KNOW ANYBODY WHO’D PUT THIS AS A 9/10 ANIME. I JUST REALLY LIKED IT OKAY. It’s made by the same person who does Detective Conan but I like this a lot more because it’s a much shorter series and slightly more mature (more for teens than just straight up kids). I really liked the main guy, I think he’s funny and charismatic. He’s a pervert at times but Imma forgive that cuz of the 90′s. Idk it’s just a really fun anime that I don’t have to take seriously and can just watch and enjoy.

5. Mob Psycho 100 (season 1 AND 2)

Imma put season two as slightly better than season one. So season one would be like a 9 and season two is like a 9.25 for me. Super super funny anime and I like it SO much more than One Punch Man. I liked that there was a good balance of serious moments, but you can definitely still count this anime as a comedy. I’m typically not the type to watch “comedy” but this anime genuinely had me laughing out loud, while also crying and freaking out right alongside the main character. The main guy is super great because he’s just this shy and sweet middle schooler, and it’s really interesting watching him balance trynna have a normal life while also using his powers for good and such. Apparently the anime was decently faithful to the manga and there’s apparently enough material for a third season so I’d be pretty stoked for a season 3, but season 2 ended on a pretty good spot and was satisfying. TBH, if I had the time, I’d probably rewatch both seasons and bump it up to a 10/10.

6. Vinland Saga

This anime is just the first season of what I hopes to be a whole series that will be stay beautifully and faithfully adapted from the manga. As someone who read very far into the manga (but quit like years ago simply because I hate slow updates lol), I actually didn’t enjoy watching the anime at first. I was impatient and kept waiting for when like the “major” events would happen. So I watched like three episodes and quit. But when I had some free time, I decided to get stuck in and commit to watching the whole series and I was so pleasantly surprised with just how good it was. I was impatient but I needed to realize that there is no “filler” or like “wasted time” in the entire anime. I hadn’t read the manga in years, so so many things were only vaguely familiar but I think this helped me stay surprised and excited throughout the anime. I’m looking forward to the rest of the manga being adapted because it’s just a good Viking saga lolol. Major themes of stuff like growing up, violence vs. peace, what it means to be a good person, etc. Lots of blood and LOTS of violence like a LOT they are VIKINGS CMON but tbh not really any gore which I liked cuz gore makes me ughhhh. A very good watch and only a taste of an excellent story.

7. Demon Slayer

It’s just Demon Slayer duhhh. Of course this a 9/10 for me. I don’t wanna write much just cuz the show is so popular. Just read a REAL review of this anime somewhere else lmaoooo. Also yes I did watch the movie in theaters and yes I liked it a lot as well mmkay. I’m mad hype for season two. My S/O doesn’t like Demon Slayer as much as me, but also has Hunter x Hunter as their all time favorite anime. Do with that information what you will lolol.

8. Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 2

Same shit as Demon Slayer. Just go read someone else’s review about why it’s so good lol. Also, unlike Mob Psycho 100, I can’t include all of the seasons in this, because I have very various opinions about how good/bad the other seasons were. But this season 3 part 2, was just plain and simply amazing. While I might not like each season equally, as a whole Attack on Titan is also a modern masterpiece of storytelling. Read the manga if you can.

9. Great Pretender

I love this anime so much. Such a good and fun wild ride. The whole show is ridiculous but in a fun way. I’m a HUGE fan of heist films, so of course I absolutely enjoyed a heist anime. I’ve watched this show in sub AND dub, due to the fact that everyone is “technically” speaking English the entire time. If you’re a purist, just watch in sub OR dub cuz I did get confused here and there, especially when I would go back to compare language discrepancies. Because basically I did this super high maintenance thing where I switched back to Japanese whenever the main character had flashbacks, since he’s ya know, Japanese. The dub also has this confusing thing where the first five minutes or so are still in Japanese, but switches to English when a little cue card on the screen goes “For the Viewers sake, everything from now on will be translated to Japanese.” It’s cuz in the sub, the inverse obviously happens where the characters are initially speaking broken English to each other, but for convenience sake, everything from that point on will be in Japanese. It’s confusing at first but I liked it cuz it just proved the whole international vibe of the show. It’s funny either sub or dub when they joke about how bad the main guy speaks English, cuz in the dub he’s speaking perfect English, while the sub has him not speaking English at all. But anyway, great anime that WOULD have gotten a 10/10 if not for the last episode. Like without spoiling ... WTF WAS THAT LMAOOOO. The anime as a whole is super wacky and zany but at least I could try to think it’s real life, but that last episode was just so unbelievable and bizarre and pulled my suspension of disbelief into the STRATOSPHERE that I just had to convince myself that this show takes place in some improbable alternate reality where something like what happened in the last episode is at least 5 percent possible CUZ HOW DID ANY OF THAT WORK LMAOOO??? Once again, great show, one of my absolute favorites, BUT THAT ENDING THOUGH WTF.

10. BNA

Good super underrated anime that I don’t hear people talk about at all. If Beastars is anime Zootopia, then BNA is Disney Beastars lmaooo does that make sense? It’s a lot more fun and zany than Beastars and I liked it way more. Made by the same people who made Kill la Kill. I really like that more classic, animated “cheap” art style that the anime has, and I also really liked the plot of the story. Not a 10/10 cuz the show does leave a few unanswered questions at the end of it, but this show was such a fun and interesting ride. When I finished the last episode, I was left with a big smile on my face because I just genuinely enjoyed this anime. Recommended if you wanna watch something a little unique and more on the silly and wack side. Talks about some serious stuff, but luckily the show never takes itself TOO seriously, and remains overall lighthearted for a fun action/sci-fi show.

So more Manakete! Frederick again, this time with Nah who also the half manakete like him (which she could have more dragon blood than him like 3/4 dragon part, correct?) and it’s the father-daugther conver (cause I’m lazy to think about their S support lolol)

Ok, let’s start with the idea of him and Nah...shall we? warning! longer than even of Chrom’s!!!

Rank C - Nah starts talking about she need to get herself stronger so, she wants to learn everything about “being half dragon” from her father since he also being that one...but then, she just learn that Frederick doesn’t even have a dragonstone which add more to her curiously..

Rank B - Nah keeps starking her father and keep asking until she get enough info like “How could you control it??” and “Keeping dragon power isn’t easily, Father!” and even offer the helping “Maybe If you want, I could let you use my stone.” and “We could practice together” but Frederick just refuse it and said something like “Tha’t enough, I don’t want to talk about this again...forgive me, my daugther” but this time he did left some words to her “I do let a loose...only at nights... ” before he walks away without listening to Nah again....* while Nah calling him but then, she suddenlly lose a signt of him and wonders if he would be angry but...still she needs to find the answers so she would ask him again. In fact, Frederick just leave because he needs to do something....something that he still keeps from anyone even his own daugther......

Rank A - The next day, There is a report to the Shepherds that something destroying many trees , rocks and something else in the nearby remote area, Luckily, no one was hurt. While Chrom and the Shepherds thinks it might be a monster , group of bandit or even the risen. Nah realise it was dragon’s doing cause she used to be like this and then she realise her father words....then, Nah meet Frederick again and try to talk with him “Father! stop running away and listen to me, please!” but Frederick still really doesn’t want to “Nah please, I don’t want to talk about this again...” Nah still insist that she needs learn the truth, Frederick give a little sigh and said something like “I mostly focus milord and milady’s sake and keep resisting it until I could unleash it when the time arrived.....” “There, happy now?” Frederick said, he was hoping that his daugther would stop asking but Nah still questioning him “but wouldn’t it mean you might end up hurt yourself?” Nah asks which Frederick’s still remain silent and then She said something that Frederick wouldn’t realise before....“I know how you feel cause I’m also a half manakete! The last time that you run aways from me...., The next day, I saw many trees and rocks were destroyed in that remote area. I didn’t see who did it but I know it was you because me too was unable to control it. That’s why I wants to learn everything about this power from someone who is like me , from someone who is my father......I never have this chance before cause the life I had been though was too rough, I had no friends nor one to talk with and even my foster parents hated me just because I was different from the other child.....all I need is just to be with you......I was so lonely, father..” Nah starts to cry, Frederick feel really sorry for her and try to comfort her “Nah....I....I’m sorry, I’ve been blind this whole time, I never know you were alone....and also forget the fact that you are just like me....” Still crying but she speaks once more “I’ll be not alone anymore cause I have you by my side right now. So please, let me help and take my dragonstone. We could do this together, this time as father and daugther, right?” Seeing his daughter’s plea, Frederick finally accepts his daughter’s helping “I guess, you’re right, Nah” He said while borrowing her dragonstone “So, you want to see my dragon form? I’m not sure if I could done it right, it was long time ago since my last tranform with dragonstone. Guess, It is I who need to learn more about this dragon power” Finally, Frederick is now trusting on his daugther which made Nah really happy and excited cause it’s the first time that she will have someone who can train with her “Yes, Father. Together we could help each other” then Frederick said they should go to another place “But first, let us find some more space cause we don’t want to hurt someone else, correct?” , “Of course, Father.” After that, Frederick takes out his armor (dress in more like causal clothing) and take Nah to nearby remote forest...Frederick finally transform in front of his daugter for the first time “Wow! I never seen your dragon form before, I thought mother’s is big but yours are huge!” and “look at those brown scales!” *and then the dragon father and his daughter having a happy family time such as Frederick tells Nah how he met Nowi and then become her husband, Nah teaches her father to use dragonstone and revert back, Frederick then teach her how to control the power without dragonstone....etc.

End note :

- Yes, our Freddy still doesn’t tell anyone about his secret but Nowi (who just accidenlty learn it by mistake = = ; ) but of course, he did tell his wife about it, so yeah.

- Nowi X Frederick together with Sumia X Frederick are my 2nd fav ship <3 <3 (with Robin is the 1st, of course)

- Just rewatch these Conversation to study Nah : Father of Nah , Nowi & Nah , Nah and possible bacherlor :D so I could make Nah not too much OOC.
