The Beginning After the End by TurtleMe has been one of the most anticipated series to get adapted, but after looking at the first few episodes by Studio A-Cat, the fans understood that there is no hope for the anime anymore. The animation, which seemed like a slide show in the beginning, just kept getting worse.

The Dragon Ball series has had multiple installments, and I have loved all of them, including the most recent Dragon Ball DAIMA. The anime and manga have run simultaneously before, and the anime had even overtaken the manga for quite a bit, leading to a lot of differences between the two. Dragon Ball Super is the only incomplete and ongoing installment, but it has been on a hiatus since 2018. Fans like me have grown tired of waiting.

The Dragon Ball series has evolved a lot and is a generational series, both within and without. For decades, the Z fighters have been seen defending the Earth. As the power scaling continues, the scope and expanse of the world increases a lot, as seen by the recent arcs in Dragon Ball Super. The duo of Goku and Vegeta barely has time to stay on Earth.

I was wondering about the martyrs in anime, the ones who selflessly forge ahead even at the cost of their lives, knowing that it will serve a purpose higher than just them. Anime might not seem like the most realistic medium of entertainment, but any anime fan would know that there is are plethora of emotions that go into it. Be it the excitement, the sense of achievement, or the pain that it leaves you with when a character you like dies. I have felt that pain deeply, multiple times.

I love Solo Leveling, but it is extremely focused on Sung Jinwoo. And to raise him to the peak, there were many characters with whom he was acquainted and grew closer to. During his journey, one of his earliest companions was Yoo Jin-ho. Jin-ho was always a favorite of mine, be it in the webnovel or the manhwa. This was not because he was strong, but because he was always genuine.

One of the most hyped “aura moments” in anime did not come from a great transformation or a mythical awakening – it came from an eccentric man with bloodied fists and unshakable resolve rising against odds with sheer determination. While fans are busy debating about Gear 5 Luffy and the Super Saiyan form, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes and the Quirkless Knuckleduster gave us something different, something that felt far more real. Knuckleduster didn’t have a Quirk like he once did.

I miss the days of Dragon Ball Z when every single fight was iconic and memorable. Especially the fight between Piccolo vs Android 17. The way his claws scraped, the tension, the angles, the alien feel Piccolo had made him more than just a side character. Those were Piccolo’s glory days, as he fought on the sidelines with the Saiyans. Piccolo has slowly been relegated to a more milder role as time passed, becoming a mentor and a spectator in all the major fights.

Taking on a character as iconic as Roronoa Zoro is an intimidating task. Especially in live-actions, which are often adduced to be underwhelming copies of the original. But Netflix’s One Piece live-action series shows how it is done with Mackenyu’s Zoro, who stood firm, being calm, cold, and loyal, just like the original Zoro. But surprisingly enough, the reason for that authenticity is not confidence, but fear. Instead of improvising or adding flair, Mackenyu internalized the source material.

Capcom games have never been subtle with their ideas or their portrayal. When you see a Capcom video game, you know it is going to be a deep dive, filled with wild lore, intense moments, and exciting adventures. This is the kind of thing that can be precisely translated into an animation format. From Devil May Cry’s Netflix adaptation, it has become clear that the lore in video games with such depth and quality should be thrown into the anime media to reach a greater audience.

In the ever-growing roster of overpowered anime characters, Jujutsu Kaisen’s Satoru Gojo has long stood as a fan-favorite, so much so that he became a fan-favorite over the protagonist, Itadori Yuji, who seemed to be forgotten. Gojo is stylish, immensely powerful, charming, and unbeatable. His past and background are layered with a lot of lore and secrets, lending him a mysterious aura as well.
