Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku

Sadly. He was a good guy, although he was an asshole in places. The series managed to tie to him in one episode. I would like to hope for some kind of fantastic resurrection, but something tells me that this is the end for him -_-

The series is able to make the death of characters especially painful, because it is terribly unfair. Senta lasted long enough to help kill Mu Dan... I would like him to survive... but at least he left peacefully and in the arms of the girl he admired.

Shion is awesome. With each episode, he gets cooler and cooler, the sighted jokes are funny and seiyu, Kobayashi Chikahiro, is again a huge fellow, the voice acting was very passionate (the exclamation reminded a softer immortal cry of Sugimoto). It's great that together with Nurugai and Sagiri they were able to kill tensen. But it seemed that tensen didn't really do anything, it was all super effective dao techniques of three people, or didn't it seem to me? Mu Dan's last words, "I've been waiting for this for a thousand years, thank you," suggest that he was waiting for a suitable death. The scene of an egg being cut open and the appearance of many heads scared tensen, one look at the screenshot already gives him goosebumps, brr.

Great, Yuzuriha questions Gabimaru's entire backstory (the fact that the head of Iwagakure showed the illusion of his immortality really seems true) when he developed amnesia (he didn't really like this plot move), and he can't verify anything. The fact that Gabimaru's wife may be a figment of his imagination is a tin. But even if that's the case, it doesn't change the fact that he really had warm feelings for his wife, Sagiri and May, so he's still not as Empty as he thinks. I hope they will help to return the part of Gabimaru that was lost.

I thought Nurugai hugs just to raise the (sweetness in the blood) of the spirit, but it turns out that the tao is divided in this way. Interestingly, they are incompatible with tao Yuzuriha, and with Sagiri yes (Yuzuriha licking Sagiri... mm, Yuzugiri). One of the favorite parts of the series is how the sincere respect and admiration between the female and male characters is shown, rather than the easy way with the novel. Sagiri shines when given the opportunity, enjoying her transformation throughout the series, culminating in her newfound determination at the end of this series.

Attention! There is a scene after ED. A good ending to the first season. It was a very interesting trip to the murderous island, I am glad that the sequel has already been announced. "Jigokuraku" turned out to be better than I thought, great characters, and I liked them all very much, an intriguing plot with the rubilov of the celestials; there were moments with so-so animation, but overall an excellent visual, the main thing is that the color saturation did not suffer, so static frames can at least be hung on the wall; and oh **nice OST, I can't wait for the release.

The teamwork was great. Senta, Sagiri and Yuzurihi have a funny dynamic (so, Yuzugiri is my new favorite spike). I always liked Senta, in this series I really got into the soul. His admiration for Yuzuriha was beautiful, he was attracted not by her appearance, but by her ability to be free and true to herself. And his real feelings about belonging to the Yamada Asaemon clan were so sad. To be honest, I let out a tear when he saved Yuzurikha, and showed his last thoughts. Senta would be a wonderful artist 💔

Guys, I'm into this

It is heartbreaking to see a student sacrifice himself to save his teacher. It's like a child is dying to save his parent. Usually events unfold the other way around, which is terrible anyway, but especially like in this series. Now Shion has survived the death of two of his students... And it's clear where the footage of Nurugai crying comes from. Tenza was a nice guy, his thoughts about a possible future-mentoring, marrying Nugurai-when he was dying were so cruel... In another story, he could have been the protagonist. I couldn't resist and let out a tear.

Shion is voiced by Kobayashi Chikahiro (Legoshi, Sugimoto), so not only by design, but also by the voice of so handsome; hopefully, he and Nurugai will be able to take revenge. I liked his "blind" jokes and his relationship with Tenza, such lapushki, eh. It's a pity that the visual in this series is not quite cool, as in others.

Interestingly, these male-gendered tensens speak in the voice of Suwabe Jun'ichi, which is orange-haired, which is blonde in the last episode. Since they are made of wood, then in theory their weak point is fire. Will he be able to do real damage if they recover in an instant, that's the question. But it seems that gender switching back and forth plays a role in regeneration.

I like that even five episodes after Eisen's death, he still seems like an important character. Usually, when there are characters who die immediately, they are hardly mentioned again. But with Eisen, you can see that he was someone who could have given the story a lot more, but he was just unlucky, which really increases the risk of the remaining characters dying. If you don't worry much about Sagiri and Gabimara, then you do for others.
