The Westernization of regional stories very rarely succeeds.

In fact, after Death Note and Dragon Ball: Evolution, fans can’t believe that Netflix has not learnt its lesson. The latest live-action of Kakegurui, called Bet, has undergone a lot of controversies.

Wind Breaker might be a series about a delinquent school, but the characters in it are surprisingly heartfelt. The protagonist, Sakura, was supposed to be a cold-hearted and detached individual, but the reality is quite different. Sakura is a softie inside, and that is pretty visible in both the anime and the manga. But the series is already in its second season, and Sakura’s tsundere personality hasn’t taken a single break.

Magna Swing can be easily dismissed as just another side character in Black Clover. And that is exactly what fans did to him at the beginning of the series. Black Clover has a little too many characters, and Magna was just another Black Bull who had potential but not enough screentime to show it. It is no wonder that fans underestimated him for the longest time.

Both Hayao Miyazaki and Hideaki Anno are maestros in the anime industry. But did you know that both knew each other? Their relationship dates back to the 1980s when Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind was released. Anno was a huge part of the project as a fresher. Anno appeared almost like a savior just 5 months before the release of Nausicaa when the entire team was beset with delays. He was a curious fella and a recent dropout who had captured the attention of Miyazaki himself.

Fairy Tail is an awesome shonen series, and there’s no doubt about it. But at the same time, there are plenty of elements that don’t work for it. It is generally considered to be a pretty funny anime, but there are many viewers who have found its comedy or gag scenes extremely distasteful. Of course, comedy is subjective, but Fairy Tail indeed relies too much on fanservice. What it tries to hide as silly little jokes are often just sexism in disguise.

It has been a decade since the Black Clover manga debuted, but it still hasn’t been able to escape the ‘Naruto copy’ allegations. And frankly, Yuki Tabata deserves a lot better. Black Clover might be a story that includes plenty of Shonen cliches, but the difference is that it never underdelivers. Of course, I can write a whole list of reasons why Black Clover is better than Naruto, be it actual enjoyable fillers, minor character development, to better pacing.

The Apothecary Diaries follows several intriguing characters, each of who have their own secrets to safeguard. Whether it is Maomao, Jinshi, or the consorts, each character has a mysterious side to them. In a way, the Inner Palace is filled with skeletons in the closet. But even amongst all of the secrecy, one of the characters has won my heart. Suirei recently returned to The Apothecary Diaries season 2 in episode 16.
