Hell's Paradise
I just finished watching Hell's Paradise (the 13 episodes of season 1, bcs I heard that there will be season 2 which I'm really excited about) today. Now, first and foremost i want to express how much I love this series and the characters in it.
I think this series deserves a 10 out of 10 I don't care what other people think or say. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
The setting, the island, the worldbuilding, the characters, and just everything u know? Like the weird mixture between fantasy and reality. I just love that so much. Another thing that absolutely makes me like it is because there is somehow an element of artificiality(?) in that world. It's kinda like uncanny valley. Even before we meet all the weird ass creatures and monsters and whatnot, the island itself, despite being so beautiful, feels kind of fake. It doesn't have that beauty that nature has. It's like so full of what makes nature beautiful, but it's kinda like when you throw and mesh all of them together that it just feels fake, and also kinda eerie (it feels like it's begging you to see it as a haven you know?) And I love that.
I also like the philosophy? ideology? idk what to call it, but the one of the main idea in this series about balance. About how it is as important to be weak as it is to be strong. How you can't only just be strong, but also have to embrace your weakness and how both of them are a part of you as a whole. I also like the idea that embracing your weakness is a strength in itself.
And last but definitely not least, I love the characters pleaaaseeeeeeeee..... I love Sagiri, I love Gabimaru, I love Choubei n his brother, Shion, Fuchi, Yuzuriha, Yui, all of themmmmmmmm!!! But especially Gabimaru. He is just so precious I can't. Him and his wife both are just adorable. But I also absolutely adores Choubei. He's kinda a prick at first, but I'm just weak for people that cares so deeply about someone else and would do anything for them you know.... I think that he is actually a really warm and soft person and I'm kinda sad because I don't think he is the type of character that is going to survive at the end 😔😔😔😔
Anyways, this is a really good series, amazing story, amazing animation, I absolutely recommend to give this a watch!!
