Shingeki no Kyojin: Bystander
(2018)
Episode 11, Season 3

This episode clears the most important mystery since the beginning.
The question in most watchers minds is: What the hell happened to Grisha Yeager, Erens father after he went out of town and was not seen after the breaking of wall Maria.

The truth is however bittersweet, if even that. I would say its just sad, which fits the show where absolutely nothing has ever gone right.

This episode is phenomenal with its ending where carla says Eren is already special because he was born into this world. Excellent closure to a key problem in the series and before the major battle that is to occur.

Kimetsu no Yaiba: Hinokami
(2019)
Episode 19, Season 1

A masterpiece, possibly the best anime episode of all time.
One of my friends who doesn't watch anime asked me why this episode was just 10 minutes, well it isn't. Its just impossible to function as a human being while watching this episode.

The buildup of the previous episodes and the revelations of this one really turn this into the fight of the decade IMO. Tanjirous unfaltering resolve against an unbeatable enemy, the music that absolutely perfectly fits the scene, the emotions that fill you when the flashback scene happens, the unbelievable happiness and awe when Tanjirou for the first time breaths the dance of the fire god is just perfect.

This episode WILL bring a tear to your eye, probably several of them. Why? Hard to say, IMO it is because of ALL OF THE emotions you are capable of feeling really.

This is one of the few episodes of any series of ALL TIME that make you just want to take a break from everything and just breath and stare at a wall while thinking for a while.

An absolute piece of art.

JoJo no Kimyô na Bôken
(2012)

Waste of time and not in a good "i enjoyed my wasted time" way.
This anime is really difficult to watch after so much time has passed from release, it just feels like an endless supply of episodes that have basically 2 different themes: 1st Jojo and companions travel to a new place and meet an enemy stand user that hands their asses to them, oh no how can they ever survive this attack?? 2nd they overcome the enemy with some witty and "funny" way for the 23rd time and keep going, rinse and repeat for 2 entire seasons. you can actually skip a dozen episodes and you wont realize you missed something (you didn't).

Animation quality (mostly walking and Jotaros pouting face) is not good, music is repetitive and not special, the story is an excuse for "funny" adventures and the humour is repetitive at best, annoying beyond belief at worst.

Characters are as interesting as sugar free vanilla ice-cream. Its not all bad, there are some actually pretty decent mini story-arcs if you bother watching it, which is why this is a 6 and not much lower.
