No one commenting on how Kim goes from "I don't trust you" and "We need to end this" to "Maybe we get married?"??? Because that was a rollercoaster of a soliloquy! Kim needs an Emmy nom at least.
I like it but it's so similar to "How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom" that there is so little to differentiate them.
Holy moly. This has to be the best episode of TV since Breaking Bad went off the air. The raw intensity, the power, the incredible performance by the cast had me riveted. The psychological dialogue between doctor and patient exceeded anything the Sopranos ever tried. Vera's wordy monologues and Elliot's stoicism built a fire that burned hot and bright. Then like a light it was gone.
Great show. We are so lucky to bear witness.
Vera is such an underrated character. The rawness of his hate, anger, and depravity is boundless. The acting was brilliant. Honestly, deserves more screentime of not for the fact we all hate him which is a testament to how good he is in this role.
Accidentally stumbled on this and it's insane and sadistic and I love it! Definitely not for kids, not even for most adults. Crosses the line left and right so be warned.
This is a triumph of television. I cant begin to express how much I have loved this series. Breaking Bad, Legion, The Shield, The Wire and now Mr.Robot have elevated what television could be.
Like the previous review, this is trash. I have always had a soft spot for David Schwimmer (sp?). Maybe it's just from his character from Friends, but this is borderline unwatchable.
couldn't get into it. it's a web series that feels amateurish at best.
I can see why some might like or even love this, but the pompous dialogue, arrogant and rude characters, really detract from the overall experience.
Main characters change between season but usually it's the supporting characters that have any personality or humor. The MC usually stands aloof as an icon of superiority. You root for them because they are the good guy not because you like them.
Overall, against popular opinion, this title is average. Good enough as a distraction but not something you will really care about.
Admittedly, this series takes a predictable path of most Isekai. Still the pacing is good and they don't spend a ridiculous amount of time giving speeches about stuff that isn't necessary to drive the story. I like it and definitely hope for more than one season.
It's pretty standard but it's pretty fun. If you're the guy who's only interested in the caviar of anime then this won't whet your whistle. It's more of the same of the mass produced anime by numbers: common themes with a little fan service.
However, its likable, fun, and perfectly fine to turn off your brain.
Despite being par for the course, I'm looking forward to season 2.
I like this show but it's like the Entourage of Fantasy Anime. Main Character lives a charmed life and anything that goes wrong is fixed quickly and cleanly. It's not terribly deep or intricate. Just a surface story that has a satisfying bite sized show. Perfectly fine to shut off your brain for a bit.
I know the main character isn't smart. They beat you over the head with his learning disabilities and inability to connect with his peers. But do they need to make him a complete idiot?
it's frustrating to watch everyone he trusts one by one betray him...yet he just goes ahead and continues trusting others not realizing they are all a part of the same system.
it's frustrating to watch.
How does he not see this stuff coming from a mile away? The show telegraph's almost every move. Zero surprises, zero twists. It's so predictable.
Further, the other important characters are either good or evil. No real complexity you're clearly delineated in the colors of black or white.
However, despite all these flaws, you root for the hero. Why? because the show works so hard at not giving you an option. There is no one else to have any sympathy for but the hapless, strong kid.
An excellent anime. I am not good with keeping up with Anime trends but was lucky enough to come across this one. Well done.
Slow build that has some good points, but ultimately fails to deliver a satisfying ending.
They build up storylines that go no where. There are several scenes that dont drive the story and make me wonder why they are even there?
I feel like it could have been good. Lack of purpose, a cohesive storyline and direction killed this movie. A shame really.
Love the rebel cowboy cop side of the show. Some of the political issues it goes for seems far too contrived and convenient. Despite this, it delivers on the action and grit.
It's definitely a mixed bag but it's also one of the better cop shows in the last few years.
It was okay but Ayuzawa's pursuers were always so rapey and cringy. Made me uncomfortable and I'm a convicted sex offender! jk jk :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:. Unfortunately, I did feel like it was too over the top often and you wait long moments for the MC to defend herself or be rescued.
Maybe the goal was to show the Japanese ideal of a woman who will take abuse? I think they take it a bit too far.
Was awesome till they fucked it up with a time loop storyline.
It was a masterpiece. I was stunned by how good it was. I can't believe I kept putting this anime off. I binged the whole thing in an evening.
This show is a walk down memory lane for me. The video games of my youth. The love triangle is an unnecessary but at the same time both the girls are relatable. Hidaka is cool, and hearing her thoughts in words, her hopes and dreams really adds to her charm. Oono, despite being mute is relatable due to her melancholy and life pressures. Does this anime break any new ground? No, but it's still thoroughly charming.
Mellie's tearful explanation of her feelings made this episode one of the most poignant of the entire series. It was so REAL! Exactly the same conversation you could expect in real life. It was beautiful and brilliant.
I liked how they recapped the relationship without being too heavy handed, but it didn't really go anywhere. It still had charm and heart as always. I am hoping for a little more progression this season.
This is pretty dumb. One of the worst stories I have seen. Poor motivations. Silly character back stories. A hero who is not really good. A villain who isn't really bad. A love interest who isn't really important to the story. It's a jumbled mess.
Pure crap. It's corny and leans very homosexual.
Season1 I would rate a 7, but Season2 really fell off. All talk and no action. Just a lot of dialogue where characters talk about philosophy, their perspective, their motives, or explaining history or dynamic. has grown tiresome.
It's slow paced but I liked it.
Definitely smart and different. However for me it was difficult to like. I just couldn't get behind the MC villain dynamic. It was entertaining in some ways, but didn't leave me feeling good.
Strange story and lack any real direction. Feel like the whole season could have been done in 2 or 3 episodes then had a real story going forward. Hopefully if they get a 2nd season its sorted out, but if they dont get another season its not big loss.
This show is surprising. It's great and warm about people and the intricacies of how people relate. It shows people and their struggles in life and uses the female lead as the anchor for it all. It is a show about love but not quite about romance. There is no action to speak of yet its thoroughly entertaining.
It's pretty bad. Story isnt very good and the sexual gags become tiresome. Just an awkward attempt at titillation, but failing miserably over and over.
