Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku

I was hooked to the anime from the first episode and couldn't wait after 7 episodes and started reading manga, the story is next level and I can't wait for it to be animated, this anime will break the internet same as Jujutsu kaisen, demon slayer whenever a new season comes because of it's amazing animation.

If you really want to find out what happens next then definitely try out manga because manga is already finished and from what I've seen there are many fans for this manga even before the anime was approved, manga is going at an interesting pace and keeping me guessing, among all the new anime that came this year, hell's paradise has that fresh feel as the story seems unique, even though it's about an MC who's a ninja, you won't find any similarities with the plot of naruto.

It's a great anime that won't let you go from the beginning.

Simply put, the protagonist has to find a fruit on an island to survive, but on the way he gets into trouble, because it's never as easy as it seems and that's why the anime is called "Hells Paradise". The first three episodes have a strong entry into the story. It's not just a story where you have a bad guy, but you have to find the bad guy first.

The exterior in the anime is also very nice. The main characters are introduced in detail.

I can only judge by the first six episodes, but I think the six episodes are enough to form an opinion.

In general, I can say that this is a great anime that you should not miss.

From the beautiful well crafted opening with an amazing song to the story and the characters themselves - not to mention the out of this world aesthetic to the genre - Hell's Paradise is set to become something we didn't know that anime could be. We're only three episodes in and this anime continues to stun me. Brace yourselves, you're in for a hell of a ride. This is top of the tops, creme de la creme entertainment.

I'm speaking as someone who's never read the manga and just watched the anime - as this is how I went about every anime I've ever watched.

I thought that Naruto would have a monopoly on the ninja-genre but somehow Hell's Paradise is able to reframe that notion to all of us, Naruto fans, have in our minds, and keep it fresh and moving forward.

I'm hyping the hell out of this anime because that's the impression it left on me. And hey, I've just come out of rewatching all of Demon Slayer in anticipation of season, and somehow Hell's Paradise animation is able to entice my heart with even more emotion than the likes of Kimetsu no Yaiba.

We should all just be glad that we can sit down and revel on these anime's as we're currently living in the golden age of anime.

I go through a lot of animes and get bored quickly. This one stood out in story, in character, in animation. For those who enjoy blood and battles, this has excellent bouts of actions and gory violence. What starts out as a fairly common edo-Japan era story with supernatural elements diverges into an interesting tale of an ensemble of warriors barely scraping by on a near suicide mission on a mysterious island. I like Naruto because a big part of the battle system is figuring out the bad guy's power and exploiting its weakness. This anime takes not just that concept but even the terms like shinobi using "jutsu" (short for ninjutsu) which seems like an homage / ripoff which I'm fine with haha. 13 episodes only told half the story so obviously there will need to be a season 2! Let's do it!

Hell's Paradise has been an absolute blast from the very 1st episode. It's been a while since I enjoyed an action shounen anime this much. Even with a season full of so many great animes, Hell's Paradise just stood out to me. I don't think it's like an absolute masterpiece that's going to be universally loved by everyone. But it's an anime that I immensely admired.

So why exactly? Why did I love it so much? I guess because it was a bit of everything. I think the title - "Hell's Paradise" is fitting for this story. Because it somehow manages to be dark yet gentle at the same time. It's sad yet wholesome at the same time. It's emotional yet full of thrills and action. It's disturbing, yet kind at the same time. When you can achieve that specific tone, then add so many different characters into the mix, each of them being likeable in their own way, each of them having their own past, their own motivations, with different bonds between all of them, you are bound to make a great story. And then, as icing to the cake, when you can make the story suspenseful, action-packed, filled with so many savage, cheer-worthy moments (mostly because of the likeability of these characters), well then I'd have no doubt in making this my favourite pick of the season.

I'm impressed by Studio Mappa's work too. The art during the action scenes is very appealing, the soundtrack is brilliant, the direction too is great. The animation isn't exactly perfect, but you know what, I'll take it. When everything else is so good, I'll take it. The voice acting is great for all of these characters. There are so many great characters to root for here that every one of them gets a moment to shine. Even the villains are actually pretty good. They might not have much motivation, but they're never dull. I liked that they gave a disturbing, suspenseful vibe, while being a bit quirky at the same time.

I really can't wait to see the 2nd season. I can't wait to see how all of these characters are concluded. I hope Studio Mappa does a great job once again.
