During the pandemic, one of my friends recommended to me an anime called Jujutsu Kaisen. I am eternally grateful to him for that recommendation. Upon the first day of watching it, I binged the entire first season. Since then, I have never let an episode pass me by.  A Dive Into the Cursed World: Jujutsu Kaisen captivated me with its interesting premise from the first episode. Yuji Itadori, an ordinary high school kid with remarkable strength, is introduced to us in the series. Unknowingly coming into contact with a cursed artefact causes his life to spiral into peril. He is unexpectedly forced into the jujutsu sorcery realm, where curses and sorcerers compete for dominance. After losing his grandfather to a cursed spirit, he vows to use his newfound sorcery powers to protect citizens from these phantoms. Characters with Complexities: Their Struggles Its diverse group of characters, each with their own quirks, difficulties, and goals, is what distinguishes Jujutsu Kaisen from other ...

Few anime shows have had such a significant impact on the animation industry as Neon Genesis Evangelion. It is a one of a kind show which has inspired more cerebral and psychological series in the industry such as Social Experiment Lain and Ghost in the Shell. This legendary series, which was created by the brilliant Hideaki Anno, has captured fans with its profound ideas, complicated characters, and mind-bending plot. I just had the amazing chance to have an exclusive interview with Hideaki Anno, giving you a peek into the mind behind this gem of an anime.

He wanted to tell a tale that explored the depths of the human spirit while simultaneously providing catharsis and a glimmer of hope in a ...

  As my first year in University is about to come to a close. I can honestly say I have learned a lot. Which is why I think this anime hit home for me.  A Non-Traditional Story Masaaki Yuasa's anime "The Tatami Galaxy," which is based on the novel by Tomihiko Morimi, has a distinctive and non-linear narrative structure. A college student named "Watashi" (which translates to "I" in Japanese) who feels stuck in a loop of regret and wasted opportunities serves as the story's anonymous protagonist. Watashi makes decisions in the parallel universes he lives in, and each episode depicts a new reality to highlight the effects of his decisions. The show deftly investigates themes of destiny, free will, and the never-ending pursuit of happiness. The Magical Dorm Room Tatami mats, vivid characters, and limitless possibilities characterise the shared dormitory room, which serves as the series' central setting. It is the centre of all of Watashi's adve...
