Achieving high-quality visuals is not enough; sound is just as important. It appears that the first episode was praised not only for the animation team, but also for the voice actors, indicating that every aspect of production was taken seriously and received careful consideration.
While Boruto and other well-known shows have received criticism for their subpar quality due to their studio's alleged lack of investment, the recent anime produced by MAPPA has been widely praised for its high production value and attention to detail.
For those unversed, Hell's Paradise takes place during the Edo period of Japan. This anime follows the journey of two highly skilled individuals, the ninja Gabimaru and the executioner Asaemon Sagiri, as they embark on a quest to find the elixir of immortality.
The debut episode of Hell's Paradise introduced viewers to protagonist Gabimaru the Hollow, who finds himself on death row. However, his resistance to death continues to keep him alive.
At this point, Asaemon Sagiri helps Gabimaru realize that it was his deep love for his wife that tethered him to the world of the living. She then makes him an offer he couldn't refuse - a pardon in exchange for his agreement to embark on a journey to the Other World in search of the elixir of immortality.
In the upcoming episodes, Gabimaru and Asaemon Sagiri will face numerous challenges as they set foot on a mysterious island. This season will consist of 13 episodes.
