At heart, Demon Slayer is a shounen anime that flaunts itself as a simple, easy-to-digest, and highly entertaining show that doesn’t try to provoke your thoughts unnecessarily. It asks a straightforward question. Do you need every piece of entertainment to be thought-provoking, deep, and complicated? Isn’t there enough complexity in the real world? Not only was the Demon Slayer anime loved globally, but the sequel movie also broke every major record, including Spirited Away’s record of highest-grossing Japanese films, both domestically and internationally, which shows the magic of simplicity. That aside, the third season of Demon Slayer is currently airing,…
I was not well informed about the vastness of the term ‘genre’ until I got into anime. Initially, when I was unaware of anime genres, I got recommendations from my friend – who introduced me to anime. And as I got deep into this rabbit hole, I got so addicted to anime that my friend was soon out of recommendations. Eventually, I came across anime database sites like myanimelist and kitsu, where I found out about the existence of genres like supernatural, fantasy, and slice of life; and the fact that there is a separate genre for food. Enough blabbering,…
Chainsaw Man is a global hit, regardless of the medium, be it manga or anime. The anime produced by MAPPA is loved worldwide, not only because of its eye-catching animation but also because of the cast of characters that brings life to a story that would be dull otherwise.

And we all know there will be a season two; however, it isn’t happening anytime soon. But in the meantime, you might want to watch something…

That aside, Attack on Titan anime is in its final season. And you might be looking to watch something similar to get that thrilling experience again.

Attack on Titan doesn’t need an introduction. The story of Attack on Titan focuses on war, a topic that is more relevant than ever. Eren Yeager’s never-ending thirst for revenge has led several nations into a war – something that can’t be justified. But we aren’t here to talk about that. We are here to talk about the world of Attack on Titan, the world map, to be specific. If you are an Attack on Titan fan, you must know that the world of titans is a mirrored version of our real world – with some apparent modifications. This is…
It is not an exaggeration to say that Sword Art Online is the reason behind the isekai genre’s rise to global fame. Not only that, Sword Art Online made isekai anime(s) so prominent that it is a force to reckon with – at least, that’s what the numbers say. However, Sword Art Online’s journey to popularity isn’t full of roses – while some love it, some don’t. Regardless of that, one cannot deny the impact of the Sword Art Online media franchise. And, looking at the decade-long run, it is far from over because an original movie is said to…

You either like Darling in the FranXX or dislike it; whatever the case may be, you…

We all enjoy watching anime, don’t we? But how much do we know about the hands who create hundreds of anime each year? Some work day and night, some don’t get the time to eat, and some eventually pass away from overwork.

It’s one hit after another, and One Piece Chapter 1071 isn’t any different. Instead, this chapter is one of the most content-rich and impactful chapters of the Egghead Arc.

If you haven’t noticed already, Eiichiro Oda is nearing the final phase of One Piece, which will consist of one of the deadliest wars ever seen in the manga. And One Piece Chapter 1069 is the gateway to that war. In the last couple of chapters, we got to see the giants from the Little Garden Arc. In Chapter 1068 and Chapter 1069, we met the antagonists of Water 7 & Enies Lobby Arc. Following that pattern, a similar incident might take place in this arc, just like the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, because both Kuma and Kizaru are coming. This…

One Piece Chapter 1066 finally reveals the Einstein of the pirate world, Vegapunk, the real one. Surprisingly, it isn’t the most important part of this exhilarating chapter.
