This is probably one of the best anime I've ever watched. This anime is a masterpiece, so chances are you've heard of it a lot of times. And it deserves the recognition it has received. The story, the plot, the fights, character development (of all characters), everything- is simply amazing. I personally haven't watched much anime (hunter x hunter was my 7th anime) but I guarantee, you can trust me. [Little spoilers ahead] So basically, the best thing about this anime is its fights. The fights are simply amazing and as the series progresses, they get better and more intriguing. Especially the fights in which Hisoka is involved (main antagonist of the first arc and also exists throughout the series, but unfortunately does not get much screentime except in the first and second arcs). It's not like everyone is strong from the beginning- they train like hell and get stronger but not to the point where they get overpowered. Character development, sketch and redemption have been shown appropriately by the manga artist as well as the animators. Fillers are also not there, just a bit of elongated scenes that too only in 3-4 episodes out of 148 episodes. Screentime is, I must say, a pretty complicated thing in this anime. Some characters who deserved screentime did not get enough screentime, but justice was served to others who deserved it (though I must say, characters that don't deserve screentime didn't get it either). For example, Killua (who is a close friend of Gon's, the main protagonist) gets a lot of screentime, and he absolutely deserves it. But on the other hand, characters like Leorio and Kurapika (who are also Gon's friends) didn't get enough screentime. I haven't read the manga and both the anime are NOT YET complete, so that might be the reason. Same for Hisoka and Illumi. It's evident that more is to come from their sides. The fights are amazing, and they progress smoothly throughout the series. Nen abilities are nicely portrayed (though you might get confused about Nen in the beginning if you don't listen carefully, although you're very likely to become well-versed with Nen later even if you're confused in the beginning) and the fights are quite amazing. The characters aren't overpowered, and characters with potential get to fight a lot. There are 6 arcs, spread across 148 episodes- The Hunter Exam arc, the Heaven's arena arc, the Phantom Troupe Arc, the Greed Island Arc, the Chimera Ant arc and the Election arc. You won't get bored for even a minute. My personal favourite are the Hunter Exam and Phantom Troupe Arcs. So, I'll end it here. I'll say this again, the series is NOT COMPLETE, the manga hasn't been completed and obviously, the anime hasn't been either. So don't feel disappointed if you want more, if 148 doesn't seem enough. This is one of the best anime of all time, one of those masterpiece (it also inspired Naruto, which is even more famous so just imagine how good this one is). Absolutely recommended for all ages (not recommended for below 12 lol). Have a nice day, keep watching anime :)

Alright, this is one of those complicated anime where one finds writing a review without spoilers to be seemingly impossible, but I'll try my find. This is THE best anime I've watched. The story, plot twists, characters (the characters are so carefully and compassionately made by the makers, you're gonna love them)... everything is amazing. The first 5 episodes do have a lot of fillers but do not make the grave mistake of skipping them, they have several scenes that retain importance throughout the series (there are also some scenes that may seem to be fillers but actually they're not, you'll realise that once you are through with the entire series). It's only 24 episodes long, so if you have some free time and can binge-watch, then you can easily complete it in 3 days. My favourite character is Mayuri aka Mayushi who happened to be Okarin aka Okabe Rintarou aka Hououin Kyouma (the main protagonist)'s best friend. I won't introduce any more characters since it may result in spoilers. Now, let me tell you one important thing- don't expect it to be like the typical Hollywood sci-fi movie. When the series summary says time-travel, it actually means time-travel, but it is absolutely different from other time-travel fiction such as back to the future. It takes time-travel more seriously and shows it in a more realistic and different manner, as it introduces a new concept, which you will learn about in the first 3 episodes. It mostly shows the banes of time travel and the danger of a time paradox. The concepts are scientific so listen to the science topics carefully, as they are a bit complicated (the amazing director successfully managed to make the main characters explain them in a lucid manner). It's an absolute masterpiece, a must-watch if you truly want to know what anime is like (if you already don't that is).

I'm going to be honest here. This was my 2nd anime series, and this is the worst anime I've ever watched. I liked it initially- the soundtrack was decent, the plot seemed to be going intense. But as I continued watching, my head started paining. They took around 5 episodes to properly introduce Zero Two to the main team, while they took less than 1 episode to make Klaxosaurs switch teams changing the entire course of the story. I even considered dropping it around episode 12, but I continued watching it anyway, a decision I regret. Whether you are a novice to the anime world or an Otaku, I STRONGLY discourage you to watch this anime. It's an absolute waste of time. There are 100s of amazing anime out there, which need not be named. Absolutely overrated. I don't know why people like this and how Zero Two got so famous. I'll end this review on a positive note by saying that thankfully, the director is not planning to make a sequel to this anime. I stay out of garbage harem anime but sadly I ended up watching this garbage (it's not harem but still it's garbage). Absolutely disappointed.

I'm not an Anime addict myself, haven't watched much in my life, but this is one of the best Anime I've ever watched. Unlike most Anime, this one is a brain game from the first minute of the first episode to the last minute of the last. Every minute is captivating, and it's full of plot twists. SPOILER ALERT: Some say there are a few unnecessary characters, but I say, those characters are to show the main protagonist's intelligence. Apart from that, I'm sure that the author himself/herself is extremely intelligent as well. At times I felt like there is no way this guy can escape now, he fell into his own trap, but the very next moment, he reveals his amazing resolve which removes all suspicion from him. I promise you won't regret watching a single episode. This anime deserves more than 5 stars.

An excellent movie with an excellent story, natural actors and (possibly) accurate depiction of historical events. Definitely worth watching.

I'd say this is the best movie of the Harry Potter series. you'll have to watch all the previous movies in order to get the true feeling of this movie, though. Every instant of this movie is a do-or-die situation. This movie is to be watched with great concentration, as every second is inter-connected, directly or indirectly with one another. The best movie of the Harry Potter series, and one of the best movies I've ever watched.

Watched it today, and the movie was really interesting, thrilling and thought-provoking. The story, the direction, the acting... everything was just superb. I especially loved the part where Godzilla rose after being severely defeated and burned by Monster Zero and expressed its true power by defeating the monster. But I think they focused too much on the military part. If they had focused more on the story of Godzilla and the other monsters instead of Monarch's work, I would have given 5 stars. Loved it.

The beginning was really OK, but it didn't end in a perfect flow. The characteristics of brandon were like that of a stealth murderer, rather than an aggressive guy, as shown. The innocent-looking face could have been showcased in a much better way, like no one even thinks of suspecting him about the disasters that are going on in the world, while he sits quietly as a good boy in front of the TV, good in his studies, while at night, he secretly destroys cities, while keeping his duplicate body in the bedroom, in case if his mother visits his room to check if he is sleeping. It could have been that way. 1 out of 10.
