Blood Blockade Battlefront is New York at its Finest

NYC often gets a bad rep. Most people either see it as a smelly hellhole filled with crime and crappy attitudes or a breeding ground for hipsters and vapid socialites. People only see what they want to see without looking at the whole picture. This makes Leonardo's all-seeing eyes of God all the more important. Instead of lumping NYC into a box, he sees it for what it truly is; a chaotic blend of volatile elements.

The storytelling of Blood Blockade Battlefront is pure chaos from beginning to end. Leonardo is thrown into a world of highly deadly scenarios with very little breathing room in between. Each episode focuses on a moment in the character's life. One episode will focus on Leonardo befriending an amnesiac monster who loves burgers and another will feature a brigade of Charlie's angels-esque spies who happen to be invisible werewolves. It's the type of show that always keeps you on your toes because you never know what to expect. Some have criticized the show for its lack of an overarching plot and treat it as if that's inherently bad. Blood Bloockade isn't the type of show that needs a complex narrative. Its biggest appeal is simply seeing its eccentric cast interact with each other. Its episodic nature made watching it a breeze since viewers are never overwhelmed with too much information.

Worldbuilding is done at a casual pace where background lore is only given when it's relevant to what's currently happening. Since most characters are already well familiar with the lore, they usually cut the small talk and get straight to the action. In this way, the narrative mirrors New Yorker's aversion to beating around the bush. Show don't tell at its finest. We need more shows that just get to the point. Rie Matsumoto, director of season 1, feels a bit different about the story than I do, though. She inserted two original characters, Black and White, a pair of siblings who share a character arc that Intersects with Leo's. Under normal circumstances, this would have been an incredibly bad move. Filler in anime tends to feel pointless and just detracts from the story. Luckily, Rie Matsumoto made sure that the filler didn't feel like filler. It was fun watching the mystery surrounding the sibling duo unravel with each episode. It eventually culminated in a finale that was nearly an hour long. Matsumoto took a huge risk with her bold decision, but she definitely stuck the landing.

The production values of the show are also top-notch. Pretty much every episode is a reminder of why studio Bones is such a beloved company. They seriously put their key animators to work in both seasons. The fluidity of the fight scenes always left me impressed. Character designer Toshihiro Kawamoto did a great job at bringing Yasuhiro Nightow's art to animation with his iconic style. I love how even when Toshihiro is adapting someone else's character design, his style still shines through.

Special mention needs to be given to composer Taisei Iwasaki because he really killed it with this soundtrack. It's an eclectic blend of jazz, RNB, hip-hop, rock and more genres that perfectly captures the vibe of a busy New York City. Each track is a different flavor of the city and made me feel at home. The soundtrack truly embodies the chaotic feel of the show and captures its occasional serene moments perfectly.The true musical highlights are the openings and endings. BBB is one of those shows where you feel compelled to watch the full episode because the opening and ending are too good to skip. They're all incredibly upbeat songs that make you wanna stop everything and dance. Sugar song and bitter step is one of my favorite anime endings because of it's colorful animation and cheerful aura.

Blood Blockade Battlefront is the type of show that can really resonate with native New Yorkers. We see all the highs and lows of the city almost every day and you have to be just a little bit crazy to appreciate NYC for what it is.

February 22 2021

Okay hello this is after I watched the movie

(Rascal does not Dream of a Dreaming Girl | Seishun Buta Yarō wa Yumemiru Shōjo no Yume o Minai)

Cherish the phrases “thank you” “You did your best” and “I love you”

My final review for the entire “Bunny Girl Senpai” is that even before watching the movie, I loved it was in my top animes and one of my favourites. Now after watching the movie, it is by far my favourite anime and I will stick to that. It was written amazingly, the voice acting was amazing as well. I am honestly speechless.

Watching the movie, we were able to see the how it all started and the parallels that occurred, I have nothing negative to say about the movie.

My *Belated* Godzilla: Planet of Monsters Review

Okay, I’m sure everyone else who has reviewed this sorry anime has talked about this, but I’m just going to review the characters. We have:

Whiny Tortured Hero Guy

Seriously, one of the most one-dimensional characters I’ve ever seen (and I’ve watched a lot of pointless action movies over the years). Does this guy know any words besides Godzilla and bastard?

Totally Not a Vulcan

Calm, logical, pointy ears, religious...honestly, they just ripped off the Vulcans with the Exif, despite the slightly more fantasy vibe. And as far as this guy goes, I don’t trust anyone who uses the word however that often. I expect him to bite everyone in the butt in future installments.

Regimented Moody Guy

That’s literally all I remember about him. He was solely there to give Whiny Hero Guy a hard time before dying a heroic death.

Wait, He’s an Alien?

Honestly, could they get any lazier with their alien designs? I totally thought he was supposed to be a ripped black dude with some funky eyebrow scarification until he said a line about wishing his species had gods to pray to. Then that made me notice how the only humans you see on the ship are white or Asian, which either means black people didn’t survive the apocalypse or they’re all on other ships. (I know, I know, it’s Japanese, but you’d think you’d want to be more inclusive if you’re selling to international audiences.) Instead, you get warlike forehead aliens. If you’re going to rip off the Klingons, at least make them look a little less human.

Obligatory Female Character

And that’s all there really is to her. At least she had some good action sequences and never served as eye candy.

Oh, Yeah, and This Guy

One could almost forget this was supposed to be a Godzilla movie, despite the title. No more than we see of him, everyone on the ship could have just as easily been discussing an alien threat. Seriously, replace Godzilla with an alien invasion (or even Cthulhu for that matter), and it would virtually be the same anime. I mean, he was cool, what little bit we got to see of him, and I liked the twist regarding his species at the end. However, to be a Godzilla movie, it wasn’t really about him at all.

Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Perfection

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off went in a direction most people would've never expected. Instead of being a standard adaptation of the beloved comic, it instead deconstructs and remixes the source material into something amazing. I mean, the comic was already a good read, but the anime is undoubtedly Scott Pilgrim at its best.

As stated earlier, the anime isn't necessarily faithful to the source material. The first episode ends with Scott Pilgrim being killed by Matthew Pattel, causing the narrative to focus on Ramona in her quest to find out what really happened to Scott. This version of Ramona is way more engaging than the aloof jerk she was in the movie. She's forced to confront her past and the toxic influence she played in her previous relationship. It was honestly heartwarming to see Ramona reconcile with her exes instead of them being beaten by Scott. The audience gets to see Ramona grow from a Mysterious loner to a woman on the path to redemption.

The anime also does a good job of giving additional screen time to most of the characters, especially since all of the exes are alive in this version. We get a better look at their daily lives and interactions with each other. By the end of the show it's pretty clear they all would've been good friends if they hadn't let their obsession with Ramona consume them in the first place. I also like how Young Neil gets better characterization here since was a mostly quiet background character in the original. He becomes a loveable idiot wannabe writer that I can't just get enough of. Roxie was the ex I felt most sympathetic for since from her perspective, Ramona was some straight girl who used her for a sexual experiment and discarded her once she was done. Her trauma is unfortunately an experience many gay people can relate to. My favorite character overall is probably Lucas Lee for constantly being himbo beefcake fanservice.

The true highlight is without a doubt the animation. Science Saru brought out their A-game and their passion for the show is evident in every frame. Bryan Lee O'Malley's simple art style translated perfectly to the colorful and fluid animation fest Saru provides. The comic’s already over-the-top energy gets taken to the next level with almost everyone having high-octane anime battles that need to be seen to be believed. The art style is also a perfect blend of anime and western aesthetics. This results in a show that looks starkly different from the standard Western or Japanese cartoon. Fans have been hungry for a Scott Pilgrim cartoon for well over a decade now and the wait was definitely worth it.
