Samurai Champloo is one of my favorite series in anime history. This series follows the adventures of 3 people who search for meaning and reason in their lives. Each member of their lovable group has a struggle which try to overcome over the course of the story. Whether they lost someone important to them, want to start a new life or, looking for some that smells of sunflowers, they all learn and grow together in their own ways. Watching their respective relationships grow is the true beauty of this series. Mixed in with plenty of action and comedy there is something in this series for everyone to enjoy. One of the many great strength of this anime is music design which is heavily inspired by 90s hip hop culture which adds a change of pace and fun element to a series that tries to have fun while delivering a deep message to its viewers. If you even are thinking about watching this anime please sit back and enjoy the laughter, pain, and everything in-between while watching this series.

Solo Leveling is a manhwa(Korean Comic) adaptation that I was very excited for. As a reader of the comic I had high expectations for the anime. In terms of the over arching story we go through in this season, we have just scratched the surface of Sung Jinwoo's powers and saw minor progress in his actual abilities. I think from my perspective the pacing was rather slow and there were periods in this were it felt like we were making little to no progress in the story. I think the primary goal of this season really felt like it was just trying to connect the viewer to Jinwoo but because we don't see or know much about him I feel like that aspect falls a little short of what viewers wanted.I think were the series shined and what gained it much needed attention was the fight scenes. Each major fight this season was better than the last and I think as long as they can maintain their budget season two will only go up from here. Overall, I think this season was a good set up to get people into the series and get excited for the 2nd Season. Stay ready because the next arc is going to be one you have to watch!
