Viral Hit
Hello everyone, here I am, your regular anime reviewer. I really enjoy reviewing anime because it gives me a reason to watch them. Watching anime has now become my hobby, and I think anime has changed my life for the better. There are many life lessons I can take from it, and it has inspired me a lot. I get to enjoy different types of stories and make the most of my leisure time. Today, I'm going to review an awesome anime, and the name of the anime is Viral Hit. This anime is quite well-known but not as popular as other top-listed animes. I hope I can do justice to this anime by reviewing it.
The trailer is just as awesome as the anime. The first time I watched the trailer, I was impressed at first glance, and I had already made up my mind that I must watch this anime. So, what caught my attention? If you ask me that, then I'm going to say it's the story, and I really love to see the combat. I am sincerely obsessed with it. There won't be a single anime left for me to watch when it includes fighting scenes. I love when there's excellent storytelling and fighting scenes.

Plot
A boy named Hobin is oftentimes bullied by his classmates, who are creators on an online platform. They force him to play a part in their videos to earn money through views, but Hobin never receives any earnings from it. He has a job at a restaurant, and his mother is hospitalized. His bullies show him no mercy and even make fun of his mother's sickness. Hobin is too scared to speak up for himself; he feels like the worst things are always happening to him. Despite all his troubles, he has a crush on a colleague who works with him at the restaurant, named Bomi. She is really beautiful and catches a lot of attention from the boys. Hobin is head over heels for her.
Anyway, back to the story: one day, Hobin stood up against Jihyeok, a member of the bullying group, which brought trouble to Hobin's fate. As punishment, Jihyeok went to Hobin's house to live stream his gameplay. While Hobin was bringing food for Jihyeok, the food fell on him, making Jihyeok angry. He beat up Hobin, but then Hobin could not hold back and started to fight back, all of this was going on broadcast live.
This video of them fighting each other went viral, and Hobin's fate changed forever. As time passed, he started to earn money from his videos, and Hobin kept Jihyeok on his team to grow their channel together. As time went on, we see their friendship develop, and although Hobin is going through hardships, he never intends to give up. He is learning some moves from a channel to improve his fighting skills. He is not overpowered at all. The audience will get to experience his journey throughout the anime.
Hobin's channel is now filled with videos of him beating up the bullies, and he is becoming famous for this type of content. The most interesting part is when he learns from a random channel with no subscribers, but he still believes in the video and learns from it successfully. Although it is stated in the videos that there won't be a 100% success rate because it takes time to become a good fighter, he understands that skills will improve over time.
Review
In one word, the anime is phenomenal. I have rarely seen animes or movies where the protagonist is not overpowered. In this anime, I get to enjoy the chance to see the protagonist making some improvements. Also, how he uses his fighting techniques is described and shown in the video. The anime includes all kinds of fighting, such as martial arts, taekwondo, and more. You will get a rollercoaster ride of seeing all kinds of fights. Their fighting scenes bring some logical sense, and nothing is excessive.
The anime kept me hooked because of the fighting scenarios; I have enjoyed them the most. The visuals are not the best, and I know people like the manhwa more than the anime, and that is completely fine because everyone has different tastes. But since I don't read manhwa, for me, the anime is the best. I like to see animated series, so I am supporting it. Only the readers will feel disappointment, but not me; I like it how it is. I am really excited for the next season; I hope they make another, but even if they don't, it won't matter because I am already satisfied with one season.
There's lots of comedy; you will laugh a lot, I can guarantee, and the art style is also funny at some points. I would definitely rate this anime 10 out of 10. I will also recommend others to watch this anime if you would like to see some cool action.
Some pictures are screenshots which I have taken while watching the anime, as I could not find many pictures on online.
Thanks for Reading
