Platinum End

I like the last 2 collaborations of the Jump "dream team" as much as the next guy but Nr 3 falls apart hard after about 2 volumes. I quit the manga after what ended up becoming the start of act 2 but returned for the last volume. It is one of the worst endings I ever saw. Offensively bad but there is no way to talk about it without spoilers. The female lead also is the worst one yet so have fun with her. I wonder why Tsugumi Ohba has proven incapable of writing women. The assigned studio lastly sucks the 14 volume manga will be speed though in only 24 eps, maybe a blessing in disguise, so prepare for one of the most hated "high profile" anime in quite some time after the story gets going for real. The seemingly aborted Death Note by Netflix is better. Lol.

It's funny to see the anime getting a lukewarm reception right out of the gate. The adaptation is of course rushed AF, cobbled together and somewhat ugly but manga´s opening stretch is the "good" part. You all wait till this unintentional Death Note parody goes full Go Nagai. Not that I will stick this out but the last 2 or so episodes will receive very loud and open hatred. Can we get an Akumetsu anime instead? If anything try the manga but don´t. A 4/10 at first, a 3/10 by the end.

Well, honestly there's not much to say. The main characters are supposed to somehow decide who is gonna be the successor of the current god, by whatever means they decide. In the first half, there's a guy who wants to kill everybody, and the protagonist, of course, doesn't want to kill anybody, telling everybody he just wants to be happy (preferably dating the girl he likes). He gets confronted with his values over and over, until at some point, he ends up helping to kill a person. From this point onwards, the history drags itself by creating confusion and promising there is gonna be a logical closure, and guess what, it never happens. Unless you are willing to put yourself through a torture session, I don't recommend, it's a total waste of time.

If people think this is drawn out, I can't believe they liked anything past episode 26 of death note. Plus, there's way more character development than death note. I'm done comparing it to death note though, I just wanted people to have a frame of reference. This anime is emotional and deep for anyone that's considered suicide. More so, this anime is about hope. It isn't completely mushy though, it has action and an actual fight for that hope - all while characters strive to maintain their self and moral compass (which can be a real struggle during a fight to the death). I highly recommend this anime for anyone that's hit a really dark moment in their life.

The first episode does it job and gets the viewers attention. The concept makes you curious and waiting for more. First 2 episodes were interesting to say the least, hopefully it lives up to its expectations!

"Platinum End" delivers a gripping narrative woven with supernatural elements and psychological depth. The series, maintains a compelling blend of suspense and thought-provoking themes. The exploration of human desires, morality, and the consequences of wielding extraordinary powers adds complexity to the storyline. "Platinum End" excels in introducing a compelling first villain, captivating hero development, and thought-provoking moral quandaries. The initial antagonist creates a gripping dynamic, and the hero's journey is engaging, providing viewers with a strong central character. However, the series encounters challenges post the demise of the first major villain. Some viewers may find the episodes that follow lacking in intensity or direction, potentially affecting the overall pacing. Additionally, the climax might not meet the expectations set by the earlier parts of the series, leaving some room for improvement in the resolution of the storyline. Despite these concerns, "Platinum End" remains a thought-provoking experience for those interested in moral dilemmas and supernatural narratives.
