My Review of Hell's Paradise
Hi guys it’s me again. As you all know usually, I’m drawn to more light-hearted and cheerful anime’s, but I decided to give Hell’s Paradise a chance. To be completely honest, I am actually pretty surprised! I’m not typically drawn to darker anime, but the storyline of hell’s paradise is so compelling that I just couldn’t resist getting hooked! It’s hard to find a good anime these days that has it all, but Hell’s Paradise definitely manages to deliver in spades.
Look, I get it. This anime isn’t going to be everyone’s jam. If you’re not into the whole action-packed and darker storyline thing, then maybe it’s not for you. But if you’re on the hunt for an anime that’ll keep you engaged and make you ponder, then I definitely suggest giving Hell’s Paradise a shot!
I’m gonna be real with you, Hell’s Paradise isn’t usually my go-to genre. I totally get why people are hooked on it. From my four years of watching various anime, I’d rate Hell’s Paradise a solid 7.5 out of 10. It’s not my top pick, but I can still see the quality of the anime and why it appeals to others. And who knows, it might be your new favorite anime!
