Critic's Agenda

This is the continuation of the previous blog, so without further adieu, let us start - Episode 4: Land of Adults-Natural Right - Plot - When Kino was eleven years old, she never knew her name before meeting the mysterious traveler Kino. While in the Land of Adults, he stayed at her family's inn for a few days. Where he repaired an old motorcycle in the basement, and they name it Hermes.

I hope you are all having a great time through October. As Puja vacation already made us aloof with proper enjoyment and a little enchantment of happiness, the morbid times of late corona lit up with the everchanging earth and its power to overcome a dire plague. With times to come, we will accommodate our living style as it fits this post Pandemic situation. So without losing any more time on unnecessary words, I am going straight into the declaration of this month's topic. Early alert for the book enthusiasts as I am not continuing my book reviews this time, so sorry for that. But, it is a happy hour for those who were long anticipating and waiting for my insights. Yes, this time, it is going to be an Anime Review by the critic itself. I know it is a long wait. But it is difficult for me to create one. Remember presenting a good insight always takes a great time and a lot of work. I had to be aware of maintaining the balance between the audience's needs and the quality altoge...

At the end of September, I came again with my blog post. And this time, I have chosen 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov to give my views and understanding of the book. 'Lolita, the light of my life, fire of my loins, my sin, my soul. Lolita, the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap at three on the teeth, Lolita.' So those are the opening lines of the novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, and these lines I think are very representative of what it is like to read this novel. Those lines are considered one of the greatest opening passages in the literary world. And for the good movement of it, it is really beautiful - the construction of the sentences is just really good. However when you remember that Lolita is a twelve-year-old girl and our narrator, the person who is saying these lines is a middle-aged man, it kind of changes the way you interpret life. You have this really beautiful description of love and lust in this very repulsive situation, ...

August came like the Rain in my life and washed away the continuity I was enjoying. So, leaving the stream, I decided to do a different blog than my regular ones that will not be about animations and stuff. This time I made my mind for expressing gradually by layers of explanations of a book I read and wondered about recently - "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doer. After careful consideration of all its aspects, I write down this post. So have a good read. It is a review and also analysis, so expect spoilers. I encourage you to read the book beforehand and then read this blog further. This book features these two kids, two teenagers during World War II. One is a girl who is blind - her name is Marie-Laure Leblanc and then a boy named Werner Pfennig who is German. The story goes back and forth between their lives. There is another story, a German officer (Reinhold von Rumpel) looking for a diamond. He is one of those Nazis tasked with acquiring all the valuables aroun...

Hello, it is the month of July, and I came again with a topic interesting enough to give you goosebumps. So hold tight and have a good read. We all know the anime history is rich in its depth of content. From the films to the series - all hold a sublime linear composition with its plot and structure. This made it awe-inspiring for the watchers like you and the critics like us. Today we are again going to shout out for something that once created ruckus into the anime world. Known for its uniqueness and individuality; Yes, fellows, you guessed it right. I am writing down something related to Your Name, the film, and its use of a metaphor. The theory of Cords(A Red String) Hitoha Explaining The Importance of Cords When the film introduces Mitsuha's life to us, Hitoha(her grandmother) solemnly explains one evening - why they make braided cords at the shrine. It is tradition, one long forgotten since a great fire 200 years ago, yet they do it anyway, in remembrance to uphold these anci...
