Jigokuraku
The Edo period is nearing its end. Gabimaru, a shinobi formerly known as the strongest in Iwagakure who is now a death row convict, is told that he will be acquitted and set free if he can bring back the Elixir of Life from an island that is rumored to be the Buddhist pure land Sukhavati. In hopes of reuniting with his beloved wife, Gabimaru heads to the island along with the executioner Yamada Asaemon Sagiri. Upon arriving there, they encounter other death row convicts in search of the Elixir of Life... as well as a host of unknown creatures, eerie manmade statues, and the hermits who rule the island. Can Gabimaru find the Elixir of Life on this mysterious island and make it back home alive? (Source: Crunchyroll)

First of all, a quick writer’s note, as I’m writing this, it is June 30th, and it’s late at night, and I’ll be heading to bed right after I write this. The final episode of *****’s Paradise* airs in around nine to ten hours, and I’m just starting on my review. I did this intentionally though, to imi…

Read full review on AniList →Jigokuraku is the newest member of MAPPA’s line of adaptations of Shonen Jump titles, and just like the previous two, this one is garbage. What I had heard from Jigokuraku before made me afraid, after all, I hear it being compared to Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man which is an immediate red flag, bu…
Read full review on AniList →_This review contains spoilers. Proceed at your own discretion._ ****’s Paradise was fun. I think the negatives are pretty obvious: The show looks rough, and is also rough on delivery on some things it wants to tell, such as how differently Sagiri is treated because she’s a woman. The pacing is a…
Read full review on AniList →_This review contains a minimal amount of spoilers_ Jigokuraku is an interesting show, it features fascinating themes, compelling characters and an engrossing story and world. However, as good as these individual elements are, the show never capitalizes on its strengths and falls into the trap of o…

Gabumaru does not remember why he is in prison and wants to die, but he can't for an unknown reason. So he was being executed by an elite executioner Sagirl Asaemon. Then, an in…

Read full review on AniList →I have read Jigokuraku manga right before Mappa announced that they will adapt it into anime. I was so happy since they did a good job with plenty of manga before. I was thinking "oh this one gonna be lit as ****" and I can't stop put a high expectation on them. Even when I watched the opening, I ca…
Read full review on AniList →After some months of thought, it finally clicked with me why I was super duper lukewarm on this anime. Jigokuraku has potential indeed but it's the little details that build up by the end of the season and bog down into an anime that is not bad or good, just middling. Story- Credit where it's due,…

Read full review on AniList →As far as light, digestible shonen stuff goes, this is pretty good. The soundtrack, voice acting, art direction and even the animation are pretty good. Where I think it falls flat, I think, is the characters. On the one hand, early on, it's pretty good at surprising you with their disposability. Som…

Read full review on AniList →____I believe that while as dark as Jigokuraku is, it is a more refreshing title to hit Shonen.____ Chainsaw Man and JJK are definitely outclassing the latter, but I believe that Jigo has found a way to stamp itself into the culture within it's own niche. Firstly, I will talk about the negatives, or…
Read full review on AniList →****’s Paradise (Jigokuraku) es una obra que combina la violencia estilizada con la contemplación filosófica. A medio camino entre el horror existencial y la poesía visual, presenta un relato donde la muerte no es el final, sino el punto de partida para entender el valor de la vida. MAPPA, una vez m…
