The biggest issue with Platinum End is that some things are dragged on (like fights) the dialogue in particular. I mention fights, but Platinum End is NOT a battle manga, dialogue is actually the most important part of Platinum End; when it isn't being dragged on it is very engaging, every character provides a different take or expands upon what another said in their own... way. Platinum End can really drag things out though, and get stale; even if these times are followed up by greatness it can be hard to have the motivation to continue reading, BUT... Platinum End has a great unexpected, ironic, and, tragic ending that will make you reconsider the whole thing. Reviewer’s Rating: 7 What did you think of this review?

Later, he makes the decision to terminate his life before being spared and granted a second opportunity by Nasse, one of the thirteen angels sent by God. She tells him that before the old God retires in nine hundred and ninety days, he must compete against twelve other God contenders. From this point on, Mirai must start again and determine whether or not his second shot at life is worth fighting for.The characteristics of the characters were all very different from one... another; some of them have been seen often yet are still vaguely recognizable in other works of media. Not too intricate nor too stale.The music had a heavenly aspect to it while also capturing a tense turn of events that helped to portray the tone of the story's locale and characters. Notable figures include the legendary Metropoliman, in particular, with his hidden identity, past, and moral convictions of trying to succeed in becoming the next God and Mirai confessing his true feelings and relationship for Saki. The speed and resolution were the only issues I had with the manga and anime. Viewers and series aficionados disagree on whether the finale itself was satisfactory. Some of the story's episodes' pacing and storyline developments were enjoyable and manageable to follow, while other episodes seemed to be either moving too slowly or too quickly for me to fully absorb.Overall, some may advise avoiding this entry due to its weak plot, unlikable characters, and recurring moral themes from Tsugumi Ohba's earlier works; however, if you like Tsugumi Ohba's numerous works, including Death Note, Bakuman, and many more, as well as anime that features life-or-death encounters between people in desperate situations where participation is either required or encouraged, I would consider giving this piece of artwork a chance. Reviewer’s Rating: 8 What did you think of this review? Nice0 Love it0 Funny0 Confusing0 Informative0 Well-written0 Creative0Show all  Dec 21, 2022 This Manga is underwhelming, in its premise, its execution of the core themes and its progression of plot and characters . It is not outright bad, though there is a lot left to be desired from Platinum end. Even without comparing it to the previous work of the manga creators, Death Note, this manga does not add any significant creative value in the battle royal, psychological action Shounen space. I'd rather check out Future Diary, and that is already a worrying bar to fail to meet.The story is difficult to take seriously in the first half of the manga. It takes a very questionable idea;... the selection of God candidates from people who wished to end their lives, and adds angelic power ranger themes, half interesting characters and untidy plot developments. What results is a manga that tries to be unique, yet feels disorienting to read through. The second half of the manga does try to reach a more consistent and philosophical approach but ultimately there is a lot left wanting even in the closing half of the show. There is little reward in reading through this anime apart from seeing the well drawn art, and reading through semi interesting philosophical dialogues here and there about the meaning of happiness and true nature of the celestial realms and a lot more pretentious subject matter..Not much else to say, it is fine to get an introduction to battle royal manga, but there are better stories than this.
