Anime is awesome isn’t it.

Soooo much better than what western studios are producing at the minute.

What’s your favourite?

I was into anime back in the early 'oughts, but haven't caught any of the newer productions in years; will occasionally grab Japanese movies, however, enjoy them much more than the Hollywood garbage.

Thanks for dropping this piece - enjoyed it!

Honestly give Naruto unleashed a go first. You’ll be hooked.

I watched the Japanese sub version. Pain Arc is my favourite. Although his methods are questionable his philosophical viewpoints on war are relatable. Dattebayo!
