This movie was a treat to watch, I had a special edition DVD from 1989 I got as a kid, watched it once and thought it was like a 5/10, Sold the Movie on ebay and realized I should probably rewatch it again. This time around I realized how much I missed hand drawn Animation. And my god this movie was very well animated. The story was good enough, and the mechs were enjoyable to watch.
As a 30yo adult in 2024 I dont know a single other person who has watched the Patlabor series, but they are missing out and it forsure a must

Jormungand: Perfect Order
(Anime)
add
7.0/10 ~ Fun ride.
For starters this really felt like a spiritual successor to Black Lagoon, which is certainly a guilty pleasure of mine, and Koko Hekmatyar is probably now one of my top favorite charecters of all time and that... that just feels weird considering this show isnt all that amazing. I randomly picked this up for no particular reason, and before I knew it I finished both seasons in about 2 days after not expecting to finish season 1. This is the rare show that I think I enjoyed it more then the actual quality of the show, the actual quality sitting at ... Sep 16, 2024

Dr. Stone: New World Part 2
(Anime)
add
5.5/10
I have now watched everything out for Dr. Stone and I can say this show is certainly a show to binge. How anyone could watch this seasonally with huge IRL time gaps is beyond me. This show is truly junk food as ive said in every review for this show and plagued with: mediocre charecters that are one dimensional, bad writing, CATCH PHRASES, no stakes, nothing matters, stereotypes, hyper sexualization of charecters for no real reason (outside of a few new world plot points), and the mysteries that are in the show arnt even that good. But all of that being said, watching this show up ... Sep 2, 2024
Dr. Stone: New World
(Anime)
add
5.5/10
This season felt like it went by a bit too fast. Anything that fit the plot just kinda happens spontaneously, despite everything up until this point being a lengthy explanation or excursion to obtain. With death meaning nothing in this show, nor stakes ever meaning anything up until this point. You know that the main charecters will prevail no matter what happens. This type of writing is extremely uninteresting and gets boring. Each season more and more charecters get introduced and each of them remain one dimensional, which pains me each time more and more. The memory plot device of recalling everything perfectly felt a ... Sep 2, 2024
Dr. Stone: Ryuusui
(Anime)
add
Please note, do not skip this episode, you need to watch it unfortunately. Watch this after Stone Wars and before New World.
This was a silly little interlude between seasons, I am not entirely sure why this wasn't just part of the either season. Ryuusui is a character that you will either enjoy or hate. He is pretty 1 dimensional like so many of the others in the story, he unlike many of them actually pushes the plot forward. If you don't like his... well you wont like what's going to be in the future seasons... On to the next season I suppose, as this was ... Sep 2, 2024
Dr. Stone: Stone Wars
(Anime)
add
5.5/10
If you have made it this far you know what the show is all about. I think there was a bit of a decline of the show with this season, but its all still watchable junk food. I think this show was a bit of an improvement as the worst 2 charecters: Yuzuriha and Taiju (the worst charecters) are not as much as a focus as much as they were in the beginning of season 1. With the focus change and the lore established the show has a bit of breathing room for its shenanigans. The show is a bit better, but if you couldnt ... Sep 2, 2024
Gundam Breaker: Battlogue
(Anime)
add
5.5/10
This was a fun 30 minutes (6 episodes at about 5 min each without the outro). As someone that is caught up on the UC timeline and has seen every non builders or SD series of Gundam, I felt very rewarded that I could identify what every mobile suite was from or based off of. There was forsure so much passion put into this little series, but its a niche of a niche and hard to recommend. If you just want to watch some fancy looking mechs fight its also not bad for a little 30 min. If this was built on it could ... Aug 25, 2024
5/10: Fine junk food.
This show for at least season 1 can best be described as anime's take on a 1v1 battle in a CIV game where one player went for Domination and the other player simultaneously went for Science and culture. This show is both realistic while being unrealistic, funny yet with high stakes. That being said they took the Shonen battle anime formula and honestly the "stakes" don't seem that high as you know that the main charecters will prevail. The first 5 episodes are really really bad, There is nothing more in anime I hate more then a loud shouting protag and the ... Aug 21, 2024
Sousou no Frieren
(Anime)
add
9/10: deserving of the hype, amazing but not perfect
Frieren can be described as an Ancient elf who's extremely Autistic, coming to terms with life after all of her friends and loved ones have all died. In the search for that legendary 10/10 anime, I have finally come to watch Frieren. Since this aired back in March 24', anyone and everyone who knows me and knows I love anime has recommended me this. Based on what I knew going into this I knew I would have to reserve one entire day in order to binge the whole thing, one 10hr tattoo session later and I must say ... |
