Platinum End

Platinum End started decently, with good concept, somewhat similar to Future Diary + Death Note. The first half was interesting and was built well. Although everything started getting worse in the second half of the series.

First of all, the animation seemed a bit inconsistent and there was nothing much left to explore post 14th episode, which saw the end of Metropoliman. Then, the rest of the episodes were just forcibly made into a shallow story, using god reference a way too much, without thickening the plot to an ending whatsoever. If made into 12-13 episodes, it would have been decent end, and the criticism wouldn't have been so harsh.

Platinum End is an example of how not to extend an anime unnecessarily, beyond it's capability to hold a story, that in turn take a worst hit towards itself and becomes a hollow show, that drags itself too much without realising that there's no worth left of it till it reaches towards the end.

My Rating : 4/10.

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!

Death note Creators really stood up onto the expectation, they started all the mind games in that grippy 4th episode and the bgm and opening is just bomb.com, I really hope they would set the show on fire in the upcoming episodes.

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.

I watched Platinum End because I heard it was from the same creators behind Death Note but I quickly detached myself from comparing the two.

The first half of the series was promising. Love, hope and self-discovery were standout themes within the first couple of episodes until crucial characters died and the writing went into heavy topics of death, depression and suicide.

Things started going downhill by the fifteenth to the twentieth episode and it was just me trying hard to get through the first season. There were moments I really wanted to quit watching and hoped it would get better than it never did.

I think they could of kept this one season, I am not sure if the are plans to have one and that's because I'm truly not interested in it.
