In the stark desert scenery, Gaara has come face to face with his reanimated father who is amazed that he has overcome his hatred and rage and become the kazekage. There are more revelations from him and flashbacks on his past when he was only young and his future at that time uncertain. Viewers get to see a different side to what they have already seen in past episodes, and this time it is the reality of what happened that is the real shocker. This is an emotional episode for fans of the series and Gaara as all the hatred for his father and disappointment at his siblings apparently hating him was unfounded and all is explained in one episode.

NEW ANIME REVIEW: SIGHTSION


Sightsion
Creator: Syed Farhan
Production: Raise Creation
Reviewed by: Sandra Scholes

First one went streaming, now there are five episodes for eager anime fans to take a look at as new series, Sightion looks like it is keen not to disappoint. The basic summary for it is that a world war had started among two tribes, Sightsion and Devethor, one good, the other evil - it's an ages old idea, but one which is used well here. As the war had devastated the planet, it was agreed that no one would use magic for the sake of saving the planet as it is, but nothing ever stays good all the time, and soon evil started to take over once again.
