A Passionate Review of One Outs (26 EP)

Image
" What does it mean to be a winner? Is it the last one standing? It means to climb over a mountain of corpses to get to the top. By no means is it a glorious sight to behold, in fact, it is extremely cruel. Even so, if you still wish to seek victory... then you must become a devil. " "A low possibility means it is not zero" -Tokuchi Toua, One Outs. I LOVE suspense. Whenever I read books, I always sprint near the end of the book, especially if the climax is extremely gripping. This was especially true for One Outs , I remember I finished this anime on the last day of school sophomore year in my World History AP Class. I always loved the trope in which a character bests the odds no matter what. In One Outs , the motto "NOBODY WINS BUT I" really encompasses this idea, that even when the odds have flung Tokuchi against the walls and all hopes seem to have been lost, Tokuchi manages to pull out a MacGyver and save the day. However, most MacGyvers usuall

Kaiji: The Ultimate Survivor (52 EP total) Review

Image
Can an anime with bad art really tell a good story? Yes it can, and Kaiji is a prime example. Kaiji made me realize how luck is never on your side when gambling, and that one has to make his own road in life, whether that be through cheating or pain. However, people should never turn their back on their friends. That is something that even Kakashi from Naruto taught me at a young age: "Those who break the rules are scum, that's true, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum." -Hatake Kakashi Look, I try to treat my friends equally, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. Sometimes, and I try to naïvely avoid this, there will come moments when two of my friendships are tested, and I will have to pick a side in the war, or be torn down completely. Those times are the hardest times. Digressions aside (or not), Itou Kaiji is a compulsive gambler who is in a great deal of debt. In the first season, he boards the ship Espoir  and plays an intense multi

Why I Attend Williams College

Image
Williams College, ranked #1 National Liberal Arts College by US News, #2 in Best Undergraduate Teaching, and #4 in Best Value College. Williams College is different from other colleges. My mother first told me that her coworkers who knew about Williams spoke of it like it was a "Little Harvard." I didn't really understand the nickname's true meaning until I got here. I applied to Williams College Early Decision, mostly because I felt strongly about a liberal arts education and loved my one-day visit here. The admission counselor's talk was more than just selling the college to us, but also trying to help us find the best fit. This was starkly different from college visits to Dartmouth or USC, in which the counselors would talk for 45 minutes about the great opportunities at their school. The counselor's humility at Williams struck a chord within me, and I knew I wanted to be here after that talk. Something that helped me gain a lot of insight into Willia
