It's another day,at exactly 7:55AM here. What better way to start off your new day with an episode of anime?(words of a lazy person) Well first off, I'll start with blessing the person that introduced me to anime.
Bro I can't explain but anime really saved me.
So I stumbled upon this lovely piece of work, Jigokuraku also known as Hell's paradise. Man,this anime is amazing. Well I wouldn't generalize the 'amazing' or get too excited about it because there would definitely still be some people out there who wouldn't consider the anime worth it and I'd rather stick with respecting people's opinion and not just mine.
Oh well, Hell's paradise is a 2023 anime created in MAPPA studio.
God bless MAPPA for real cause they're blowing minds rn. Or not?
Hell's Paradise rotates around our main character,Gabimaru who was sentenced to death. Due to some powers he was unable to be killed. A day came and an opportunity met him. Although he refused at first but his wife was brought into the discussion. Gabimaru was given an offer. If he could go into paradise (an island) to retrieve the exlir of life then he'd be pardoned.
It actually can't be that easy,lol.
Did I forget to mention Gabimaru was really really strong? But nah,this island wasn't for humans but trust humans,we want what we can't have.
The exlir of life provided its consumer with eternal youth. No death,no wrinkling and no old age.
I am trying my best to explain this without spoilers but I want to tell you guys some stuff so bad😭. Please watch this,I beg you! It's good!
Well,I don't think I can go past this. Anything past this would be spoilers. Anyone interested in some spoilers?
I finished this anime in two days. If you're consistent you can finish it in a day;)
I love the characters development and the way the writers put in efforts to show how people can cooperate irrespective of rank Once a person meets someone else with an impossible goal,the same as his, they tend to cooperate and face that task together, don't you think?
But in real life? What you'll see is one trying to exterminate the other. Crazy people everywhere
I don't really like rating my animes cause I feel everyone has their own opinions and who am I to mention mine?"
Nevertheless, I'll give Jigokuraku a 4 out of 5 stars. The animation was well done,the storyline was amazing but weird at the same time but all above fantastic!
I didn't like the fact that the anime was just 13 episodes. I didn't like it one bit. I wanted more but unfortunately I'll be seeing the next season next year or the year after next year and that's just so saddening 🥲...
Oh and note; Gabimaru is so tall!
