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!
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.
Hell's Paradis is not suitable for this generation. This is one of the most balanced anime without any doubt.
(Skip the part if you know what the anime is about) So Hell's Paradise starts with a badass criminal protagonist and a shinobi named Gabimaru of the Hollow, who is sentenced to death. But the executioner can't behead him and other execution methods don't work on him. In the end, an executioner from the Yamada clan, Yamada Asaemon Sagiri, went to decapitate him. Before then Gabimaru said he wanna die but this time he resisted. Then Yamada offered him an official pardon. He has to bring the Elixir of Life from an island named Shinsenkyo. No one has returned from this island, so they're sending criminals with monitors from the Yamada Asaemon clan. From here Gabimaru's journey begins.
Let's talk about the plot - an island, maybe where immortal creatures live, you can find an elixir to be immortal. Is it even possible? This fantasy is quite good. The power system is well-balanced and it's a masterpiece. Anyone can be a superhuman by mastering their "Tao". It's not like something which is decided the moment you are born.
The episodes were continuously becoming more & more exciting. Each episode ended with a bang and the ending was paradoxical. I'm waiting to see what happens next.
Although this anime has a problem. It has unnecessary profanity. This kinda anime shouldn't have a fan service like that. This isn't for simp after all.
I'm telling you again it's not for everyone. Especially for this generation of anime fans. This is the darkest anime of the dark trio and also the best. If you are an average Shounen anime fan who loves to see just fierce fighting but don't give a thing about the story then it's not for you. There are also other types of average fans rn. It's not for you guys either. Skip the anime if you don't have a neutral perspective.

The storyline seems pretty simple at first. The MC is a killer with superhuman abilities and lacks remorse or empathy until he is forced to marry his chief's daughter and falls for her. The first 6 episodes or so are just okay. The fighting and animation is still really good so they're entertaining. However, the last half of the show the storyline really picks up and it gets more and more interesting every episode. The power system is really cool, the way the characters interact and build off each other is very natural and their relationship dynamics feel real. Some of the side characters' stories are REALLY good and in my opinion even better than the MC's story. I found myself very invested in them and wanting to learn more about their lives. Any character can die at any moment so the show keeps you on edge. The world building is amazing. I love the aesthetics of the island and the soundtrack is incredible. This show has so much potential and I think it can become bigger than demon slayer if people give it the attention it deserves. I came in not expecting much and now I can't wait for season 2.
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.
