__[MODERATE SPOILERS]__ img1000(https://i.imgur.com/NK6EMuG.jpg) If I could somehow give Japan Sinks: 2020 both a 2/10 and an 8/10, I would. So to that end, this will be two separate reviews. Sort of. First that 2/10. I won't spend much time here, but the gist of it is that Japan Sinks is not goo…

Read full review on AniList →Japan sinks is something original, and that's always worth praise in my eyes. In the age of the generic, Science SARU put out something memorable, something that created discussion and debate, something that wont immediately sink into the recess of your mind as yet another seasonal anime nobody care…

Read full review on AniList →Masaaki Yuasa is an anime director and animator who became pretty famous in recent years, though fans are divided on whether his works are actually good.

Read full review on AniList →First I'll say that I didn't think this was a masterpiece by any means, but it is good. The thing is, I wouldn't want to watch it again. It's something you watch once, survive through it, and never watch again. That doesn't mean it's bad! There is hope in the core of this anime's message, but in ord…

Read full review on AniList →This was... something. Japan Sinks 2020 starts off with a bang, and moves at a steady clip. The first episode is some of the most evocative disaster film that I've ever seen. It really evokes the terror, confusion, and dread of a mass-panic situation. The use of chaos and social unrest, as well as h…

Read full review on AniList →Japan Sinks 2020 is going to be very difficult to review, because of how wild it is. the main plot is basically like the title, Japan sinks, and a family of people and some other people try to survive through it. You think the plot is that simple? WELL think again ,because storywise, this show is ma…
