I'm in absolute love with all the rediculous situations that the characaters end up in. It's a show that doesn't shy away from being dirty and weird and very aware of it. I'm excited to see how this season will tie together the narrative. Extra points for the thoughtful implmentation of memes.

Something about an older anime was very nostalgic for me. The pacing is slower at times which is nice because its taking time to develop the characters and story more. Anime now seems to be all action all the time, but this pace was a great refresher. That older art style is nice too, different from anime today. Overall I enjoyed the story because we get to see the growth of a female lead. 

Its well animated but jesus the tonal whiplash is insane and the evil shit that all the characters that you're supposed to like do but its brushed off since its good for them is crazy

I loved almost everything about this from the chibi art style and WW1 industrial futuristic aesthetic to the haunting story of two anime girls living out the plot of the road.

The first episode is great! You'd want to continue watching. LOVE the MC and his army! I am excited for the new season to come! Totally RECOMMENDED to watch.

13 episodes only???       ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????                                                                                                 

the story is very good and refreshing are predictable however they do a great job at making the story still fresh and exciting to watch. that is all i have to say on this video for now until i watch more on it 

An amazing ride (Although most of my enjoyment comes from nistolga) 

The show is really good and funny. One of the few anime which had actually had me laughing at some of its jokes. The animation and the story may feel a bit outdated but the show is very enjoyable. especially when the go totally off the plot and start doinf side quests. 

Sanda (anime Review): High Concept, uneven Execution

sanda delivers a surreal premise- santa claus mythology meets birthrate crisis- but stumbles in execution.

Story: story starts strong but loses focus. beginning we are told japan is in middle of a crisis when newborns are rare and considered precisous, with social commentary that feels more like a window dressing then substance.

animation; clean but unremarkable. it does have some key action elements but its inbewteen.

pacing: inconsistent. key developments feel abrupt in a supposed declining birthrate and pressure on traditional familes the story leans into surreal wish fulfillment and loses focus.

music: it rarely supports the tone or elevates scenes.

despite its ambition, sanda never quite clicks. it gestures at big ideas- identity, governement pressure, cultural decay- delivers them with more noise then substance

Absolute FIRE! This movie is a gem! I originally watched in with my brother a few years back and it was so fun. It has the classic body-swap mechanic, but with a twist that twists and shatters your heart into pieces. The ending is really good too. And it's so funny. Overall, 9/10 movie. It wasn't the best of the best, but it was really good.
