ALICE IN BORDERLAND Manga and Live Action Series on Netflix

I randomly drawing another fan art based on its official manga cover a few weeks ago in my break time. 

I like this Netflix's manga-based dystopian series better compared to Squid Game. Alice in borderland is somewhat unpredictable and not merely depend on luck but also do some thinking to survive. For me, Japan is always better in this genre since long time ago. Although so far I Just watched season 1 and 2, but the season 3 is already available to be watched.

3 ANIME WITH DEVILS OR DEMONS (Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer & Chainsaw Man)

 

First of all would be Jujutsu kaisen. It is about the curse's energy derived from negative emotions such as fear, anger and hatred and resulting in the birth of curses/noroi, a race of spiritual beings whose primary desire is to bring harm to humanity. They are shown as gruesome monsters, ghosts and yokai/ demons.

Jujutsu sorcerers or shamans are the people who have the power to control the flow of cursed energy and use it against those beings. The main character is Itadori Yoji, an orphan who accidentally swallows part of the body of sukuna. The strongest curse ever or the main villain throughout the series.

 

Next, Kimetsu no yaiba/ Demon Slayer, with Taisho era as the background story, there is a secret society called demon slayers who have fought against demons for centuries. The demons themselves are former humans who were turned into demons by Muzan Kibutsuji as the main villain with his blood. The characteristic of the demon who can't stand the sunlight with red eyes is pretty similar to vampire, although they don't just drink blood but consume human flesh too.They were insanely strong with their blood demon art and are able to regenerate unless being decapitated by special weapons from nichirin. The demon slayers themselves are ordinary humans however they have special breathing style techniques to use to battle those demons. The main character is Kamado Tanjiro, who has only one purpose when he joins the demon slayer corps, which is to kill muzan and help his sister Nezuko find the cure to make her back as ordinary human instead of a devil as she is.

 

The last one is Chainsaw Man. 

The story is set in a world where devils/akuma are born from human fears ( ring a bell?) It also borrowed from a religious story about the 4 horsemen, and all the human disasters from war, weapons and illness. Humans who want to use the devil's power, will make contracts and sacrifice something from them to the devils. Basically to fight or kill devils they use other devil's power as devil hunters. The chainsaw devil is one of the strongest devil who can consume other devil and prevent it from reincarnate back to life. The main character, denji who is supposed to be dead but back to life after pochita the chainsaw devil, albeit the strongest devil lend his heart to him.

 

Similarities: demons/devils, special force to fight against it, ordinary human vs immortal devils, orphan main characters, mc's sad life background, they don't really show special talent in the beginning just a strong will and hardwork. Always have a black haired sidekicks.and most of all, the main problem is from humans themselves as the main source of the problem itself and the beginning of everything.

Hello Jadoo (Korean Cartoon Series)

 

One day my little niece asked me to draw one character from a Korean animated series she recently watched at that time. The series title is Hello Jadoo. I haven't got a time to watch it yet but it got really good review related to parenting and story itself. 

 

So, Jadoo Choi is the main protagonist of Hello Jadoo. She is a 10 year old elementary school student who while attending her classes finds time for adventures.  

Jadoo is a headstrong little tomboy who always tries to do the right thing. While she is a little stubborn and won't hesitate to punch or kick a bully she is fiercely protective of her friends and family. Her loud personality contrasts well with her best friend Minji Gim's personality and more quiet demeanor. Additionally her family reflects her chaotic attitude with her equally headstrong mother, lazy father, and spoiled younger siblings defining her happy and tough personality. Even though curious Jadoo can get a little adorably violent she tries helping others whenever able to. Her amazing character attracts many friends and the occasional suitor, bringing with them new hijinks and fun. 

K-Pop's 1st Animation Movie on Netflix in my PoV: KPOP DEMON HUNTERS

This is actually an animated movie with a simple lighthearted story about a group of girls who have a mission to prevent demons from consuming the people again with their music and it has been done for hundreds of years based on Korean culture which turned into K-pop in the modern days. 

 The demon leader wanted to break the spell and ask his demons if any of them had any idea. Then, a demon guy appeared with some of his friends and told him that he just needed to be the competitor of those demon hunter girls, Huntrix. They disguise themselves as a boy band named Saja boys. 

Long story short, the main girl is half demon, getting close with the demon boy band leader, sparks a love hate thing, battle in songs and demon-real world realms, and all ends well except the demons with sacrifice of love. There are a little bit of background stories, Kpop songs and dances, crazy fans, funny demons. Truly not to be taken seriously because this is as simple as that. I like the costumes, the cat reminded me of Alice in wonderland's cat, the girl band and boy band reminded me of the current most known kpop bands of Blackpink and BTS. That's all. My sister told me that the story is as light as Barbie's animation stories. Just enjoy it without thinking too hard. These are my fan art drawings based on my niece's requests.
