I'm 4 episodes in Vinland Saga. I like manga better already.

I read it very sporadically, but I'm still enjoying it. I know a lot of people don't like Bleach, but I read it because I like the art and action scenes. Plus, it's simple and easy to read, so I find it fun for that reason.

You got any good manga to recommend? I sort of want to read more manga, but I never keep up with them as much as anime. I'm thinking of maybe picking up shorter manga since a lot of series I'm interested in have a lot of chapters and it can be hard to find time to read each of them.

Thanksies! :)

So, I don't usually accept random friend requests, but I like your Watchmen avatar so I'll make an exception, lol.

Is mal dead to you?

What happen to us dorian we dont talk like we used to?

I agree that it looks visually gorgeous! And seeing the Gelfling army at 1:47? I experienced a spiritual encounter. This series I'm guessing leads up to the Garthim War. We may also see the Great Division. It happens 800 trine (equivalent of Earth years) prior, but there's a chance of us getting some history in episode 1.

OMG! I am crying. :o

Give me your thoughts on the greatest thing ever! It's finally happening! I've waited so long for this.

This was also pure love.

Sup dorian.

what's your steam ID?

Fair enough, and I agree that War ended the trilogy in the best way it could have. The ending is clearly designed to lead into the original 1968 Planet of the Apes. Even though these movies are reboots and loose remakes, making them inconsistent with the originals—they also function as prequels. It's definitely the best trilogy this decade, and should be considered one of the best trilogies of all time.

Great MV about Caesar and Koba:

Dawn remains my favourite (of the reboot). I consider it one of the greatest sequels. I liked War more than Rise, so it'd be my 2nd favourite. Some of the problems I have with War still persist, just not as tirelessly as before. They didn't ruin my viewing experience (which is why I bumped it up to an 8/10). Just some things here or there that could have been done better. I think the main thing that tips Dawn over War as my favourite is the villain. Colonel McCullough is great, especially with Woody Harrelson channeling the spirit of Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now (Colonel Kurtz). But Koba is such a great cinematic villain, where his impact is felt throughout War with Caesar's personal journey. I just find Koba more compelling.

I could never be that consistent with my logs. I've seen over 50 movies since the New Year (mostly classics with some rewatches thrown in the mix); but I'd like to make some effort to be more consistent, and not just log a movie every couple of weeks to a month.

I'm a big fan of the originals, even as they diminished in production quality as they went on. Escape, Conquest and the original from 1968 are my favourites of the original series.

On a side note, I feel like I should start consistently logging my films into the diary. I always forget to, because I log on to click "seen" and possibly "liked" with a rating. I tend to just do it when I feel like it, because I see so many. XD

I revisited the Planet of the Apes (reboot) with Rise, Dawn and War. I had planned to sit through all 3 to see how it works as a complete trilogy awhile ago, but I just never got around to it. A lot of the things that bugged me with War, didn't bug me nearly as much now. I recognize some of those things as points of criticism still, but it didn't weigh on my viewing experience as much. I even bumped up my rating on Letterboxd from a 3½ to a 4/5. I plan to read Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Firestorm by Greg Keyes at some point too.

I suppose it is derivative of Arlong Park, but even then I'd not mind as much as long as the characters felt like the same characters I followed, and Shiki wasn't such a disappointment.

I don't know what I'd rate movie 1. Maybe a 3? A 2? I don't remember anything about it. I saw it a long time ago, and I didn't even remember to log it into Myanimelist as having watched. I logged it into Letterboxd, but must have forgot about Myanimelist. I guess I must have just assumed I logged it in.
