Nikhil is a business graduate from Amity Business School and is a tech freak. With a specialization in marketing, he has worked for various advertising agencies and helped in copywriting and content writing for start-ups and large-scale businesses. His first encounter with the pop culture surrounding anime was way back in the early days of high school when he stumbled upon a One Piece manga. And the rest was history, as binge-watching anime series and manga has become a norm for him, which sometimes leads to debates on the deepest depths of Reddit. You can catch him ranting about FIA rules, or if you want to break the ice, talk about comics, games, movies, and practically anything from geopolitics to automobiles; his attention is pretty easy to get. Happy reading and Sayonara!
“Maybe that’s what Batman is about. Not winning. But failing, And getting back up. Knowing he’ll fail, fail a thousand times, but still won’t give up.” The saying perfectly captures Batman because it expresses one of his fundamental principles. The bad guys can knock him down, yet he’ll always get back up; a man with such dedication can never be forced to stay down on his knees. Every time life knocks you to your knees, you get back up. Life is not all sunshine and rainbows, and there’s a dark side hidden inside every person and every corner of the…
Few anime, shows, movies, games, or books, some pieces stay with the fans because they have something worthwhile to impart, whether it be nuggets of knowledge or a fresh outlook on life.

It opens up a fresh approach to life; that said, inspiration is not an easy thing to find. “Humans are strong because we have the ability to change ourselves,” said the Caped Baldy. Doubting kills the last ounce of hope left in…
Numerous anime show off tremendously powerful characters who are either born athletic or put forth a lot of effort to develop their abilities. Others compete on their merits, while some characters combine their strength with magic. Movies and television make you want to do a lot of things; Goku made us blow blank “Kamehameha’s” into the air, Eren made us want to fly around building an ODM gear, and Deku showed the essence of hope. And many more characters made us motivated and inspired us to do a lot of things; one among them was to get in shape. If…
The Big Three, something with which many of us grew. And among the Big Three is a knucklehead, clumsy ninja called Naruto Uzumaki, a character who was probably synonymous with mischief and mistakes.

Naruto, though not the longest-running anime, it still is one of those anime that most grew up watching. With most of the characters introduced early on in the show, they all became a part of our lives as we watched the show;…
Ask any anime fan why they watch anime, and you’ll get many answers, but the answer you won’t get is – watching anime for sheer amusement or entertainment. Anime is probably much more than entertainment, mainly because the character is way more reliable, even though they are simply an artistic representation of a story. And sometimes, even their fan-service anime has much more depth and insight that overshadows the ‘ecchi’ part of an anime. Anime displays a person’s imagination and dreams and goes beyond simple children’s cartoons. From teaching us about their culture and beautiful scenic site to becoming stress…

What we are and what we do is the nature of traits; humans and superheroes alike are a mix of personality traits.
