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 ll make it clear from the start, Berserk fans are gonna love this one ! Well done, I was hooked from the start, great pacing, loveable "heroes", little bit clunky animation but overall, pure enjoyment.

Action is kinda interupted by flashbacks, but not in the measure to ruin the vibe of the show. I mentioned Berserk, in few instances, I felt that Berserk taste in certain scenes, especially with monsters design. It has those "hopeless moments" where you know trouble is inevitable and the end is near. Its been a while where the show reminded me that much of Kentaro Miura's masterpiece so I am maybe little biased but nevertheless, a warm recommendation to all anime lovers!

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.

Although I've only watched 9 episodes, I can easily say this is one of my favorite anime. The characters all have personalities that the voice actors do VERY well at. The intense action scenes are very entertaining. The animation is good. The art style is good. The story seems basic on the outside but is actually quite an interesting concept. Its like there isn't anything to hate on this anime. If you are a fan of anime, I'll say that this anime is one you should not skip. Besides that, the anime does have quite a bit of blood/gore so if that kind of stuff makes you uncomfortable, you might want to watch with caution.

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.
