  • Rey is such a notorious character when it comes to badass monsters that can pulverize you on spot without batting an eyelid .

  •  when it comes to his powers or code they compliment him better than pbj sandwiches his code that he lives by is simple an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth and evil for evil.


  • Simply put he'll erase evil with his own hands and i meant it when i said erase his blue flames are so powerful they don't even leave a mark of a body being burned it's like it erased them from existence all together .

  • The series is fun to watch and i love it so much it isn't a masterpiece or anything but it's just too good to see rey executing his justice on evildoers.

𝕯𝖊𝖘𝖈𝖗𝖎𝖕𝖎𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓 :

  • when it comes to a large cast of characters almost every time the character development will be trash and lots of the characters will be left out or forgotten.



  • Serving no purpose at all and being in the anime since the start however in this show even the cameraman.

  •  which served a minor purpose is necessary and has a role to play in the bigger picture the story isn't that original but the samurai from a different era coming to ours.


  • However what was interesting is that the one who awakened him looked exactly like the prince as he failed to protect and coincidentally from the same exact enemy.

  • The aliens this time he'll ride into his mecca and won't fail in protecting his princess like last time he'll fight on and keep on fighting until he's sure no one can harm yukina .

  • The series might not be the best mecca out there but it sure does have a good story and pacing if you like that kind of stuff by all means be my guest and watch this show.

  • Fate slash apocrypha as we all know apocrypha is kind of the black sheep.

  •  when it comes to the fate series for it being good but not as good as ubw the thing with apocrypha was that it needed more episodes and more details spent into its characters .



  • Their stories and motives one of those characters is the homunculi later the strongest monster in the holy grail of war seek and yes he's named sieg after siegfried.

  • Since he got his heart from him as a homunculus he had one task which is to obey orders and do as his creator's bid however later on he develops a consciousness and strives in the grail war for one single thing freeing his brethren trapped in that organization and showing them that even homunculi can live freely.


  • The apocrypha series had a wide cast of characters with seven servants and masters on each side of the spectrum duking it out for the holy grail as a fate fan i love this series and enjoy it so much but ubw is still the goat sorry apocrypha.

    •  Run the hell away from him as fast as you can unless you want to become the human equivalent of french cheese and become riddled with holes.


    • Inuyashiki is a story of two different people fused with alien cyborg technology and gaining powers thanks to it one uses it for good and helping others while the other one hero.

    • The main antagonist of the story uses it to kill and slaughter and steal just in order to see and experiment.

          𝕯𝖊𝖘𝖈𝖗𝖎𝖕𝖎𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓 :

          • Psychopath honestly this anime reminds me of minority report and metal gear rising for two different reasons that i'll explain now.


          • If you guys don't know minority report is a movie that has a system close to that of psycho past foresee crime and stop it before it happens.

          • However it doesn't consist of bare brains hooked into a system acting as processors this takes us to the metal gear rising similarity.


          • If anyone played the game you know what i mean with the room filled with brains being programmed and the sheer gruesomeness of this show is reminiscent of metal gear and gants.

          •  As well the main character is a good soldier that does what he's asked to do no questions asked what is it he does he tests each and corporate psychopaths and if it succeeds the normal limits he uses his special gun to blow them up like a balloon with their inside splattering.


          • Everywhere on everything fun right this show from what i already said you can derive that it's not for the faint of heart or those who hate gore since it takes things to the maximum limit in extreme you've been warned so be careful what you're headed into and with this!


          Thank you all so much for Reading all the way to the end as always! Comment down below on the anime you liked the most on this list and if you're planning to watch any of them and if you have any suggestions place them in the comments as well until next time see ya.........!!
