Kimetsu no Yaiba: Never Give Up (2022)
Best animation I've ever seen
This episode is truly revolutionary (imo) in terms of all art forms in the animation field. In over 20 years I have never seen such perfect and detailed animation before, and as I already believed this anime to be the most beautiful piece I've ever seen, this absolutely confirms it. What Ufotable is doing right now in the animation should be reflected to what Disney did for animation back in the 50's-60's and again with Pixar. Back then people had never seen such amazing dedicated work before in the animation world, and I think today we can actually relate to how people felt first seeing Disney animation, because this is something I know I've never seen so well done before and I feel for a lot of others they have never seen animation done this well before.
Besides the animation the strong overall theme of standing ground for what you believe in is executed very well again and fits in seamlessly with all the other beautiful animation going on at the same time. It's another one of those episodes where they leave the outro with an incredible amount of suspense like they did with hinokami. Overall: The animation almost left me speechless after as I have never witnessed something like that before in my life and am considering this best episode of Demon Slayer yet.
Shingeki no Kyojin: From You, 2000 Years Ago (2022)
Here we go
Perfect episode to prepare us for the finale of this masterpiece of a show. The history of Ymir and her forced slave mentality really drives in the point how truly terrible all of this is from both perspectives. Zeke and Eren both wants what's best but ideologies of solving it are fully contrasted as presented here. Going to be one hell of a finish cannot wait.
Rick and Morty: Never Ricking Morty (2020)
Amazing writing, however appealing too much to a specific fanbase
Looking back in retrospect this episode has a ton great parts going for it. The point of the episode is the Rick and Morty are stuck on a metaphorical train that figuratively explains the writing style of Dan and Justin throughout the entire episode. The train represents the stages that Dan takes to write and episode of Rick and Morty explores many different aspects such as "do's and don'ts", canon and non-canon timelines, fan appeal and a ton more. And they do a creative job of putting the episode together, almost as they would go about actually writing an episode (hence the layers of meta in this episode.) When you start to look back at how the episode is put together, you start to get a better understanding of what Dan and Justin were doing with this episode and the type of meta thinking. However the big problem with this is now this episode can almost only be enjoyed by those who are dedicated fans and understand Dan and Justin's style of writing. A person who occasional watches this show would see this episode and most likely have a very hard time understanding what is happening the episode and find it even harder to find any of the humor sprinkled in throughout the episode appealing. When an episode starts to get too complexed like this, it starts to take away the accessibility from new or common fans who just want to watch the show. I personal love this episode but can only give it a 7 as it is an episode that requires you to understand the creators of this show to actually appreciate it.
The Eric Andre Show (2012)
Psychological Fun Show
I feel a lot of the people who don't like the show don't really understand what's going on. In the middle of all the nonsensical and crazy stuff that Eric does, there actually are multiple different interesting factors going on in almost every episode. One, and I believe most importantly, almost 90% of the guests on this show don't understand the type of show that they're walking onto, and that's actually the point. Eric tries to find celebrities who have most likely never heard of his show before because the point of all of these interviews is to see how people truly react while under pressure. Eric often puts the set up to 97 degrees and these interviews are actually usually a couple hours long. They cut up the parts that have the interesting reactions and usually work with those. The point is the break down the traditionalism of interviews that are so clearly set to make celebrities look bad or good. Instead Eric slowly breaks down the psychological character of these celebrities until you truly see the human in them. And that's the beauty of these interviews, these are true to reactions to insanity and it's so interesting to see how different people handle it differently.
Secondly, Eric's character is a literally conundrum of a host. Besides being the host in the show, Eric at times seems conscious that he's stuck in the show besides just his role of the host and often breaks the boundaries of the 3rd of 4th wall. This makes Eric's persona even more entertaining in my opinion as it adds another dimension of comedy and curiosity to both us the audience and the person he's interviewing in the show.
There are many more factors I can go on about this but those are two biggest points that I think make this show absolutely fascinating to watch.
Rick and Morty: Pickle Rick (2017)
Funniest S**t I've ever seen
Pickle Rick is still the funniest s**t I've ever seen.
Rick and Morty: Total Rickall (2015)
One of the Best
Amazing episode, one of the best in the series. While maintaining a simple theme, they do an amazing job of keeping it fun and interesting the entire episode.
