I had high expectation about this anime, but it didn't live up to it. What I wanted was historical drama, but what I've got was magical mecha fighting cartoon.
I am not against magic or mecha, but in this case they were definitely unnecessary.
The only thing that was okay in this show was animation, everything else is just bad: voice acting (unrealistic and emotionless), plot pacing (overly fast, they told almost nothing about heroes, you don't have time to feel anything for them), dialogs are random...

Overall it feels like cheap anime with big budget. I regret not reading comments before diving into this.

Castlevania: 3x01 Bless Your Dead Little Hearts

Did they cut the budget? Animation quality dropped :/
And dialogs are kinda amateurish...

Darwin's Game

2 episodes in and it still looks like generic anime, with generic animation, with generic plot (but with BaTTle RoYAl)

The Mandalorian: 1x06 Chapter 6: The Prisoner

If you, like me, thought that this is some kind of furry slice of life cringy anime, then I can assure that it is not. Posters with cute character on them can be misleading...

Somewhat hard to watch. While plot is bearable, the direction and editing is not. They literally just took manga pages and added animations to each of them without any transition. Is this anime of animated manga slideshow?
And these eyes! These eyes are just dead! Why are theying try to express all emotions only through mouth and creepy smiles? zannen

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid

At first, it was nice and cute, but halfway through it become kinda boring and unnecessarily dramatic.

Paranoia Agent

I was really moved by perfect blue and paprika, and decided to explore other works of Satoshi Kon. While animes mentioned above are literal masterpieces the paranoia agent is kinda meh. It is more absurd rather than mystery. But overall it was enjoyable anime with couple of annoying fillers.

Vinland Saga

The best anime of the season, no isekai-vikings, beautifully animated, solid storytelling, character behavior looks realistic, and not exaggerated as in typical anime. The only weak spot so far is OP (which bad only at the start because it doesn't match visuals with warships and stuff).

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum

Yet another family comedy movie, but some action elements.

All you need to know about world setup:
- 5% of the total population are assassins
- people are don't really care about neither being killed nor watching someone getting killed
- everyone tries to kill John Wick
- no one really wants to kill John Wick
- the best way to kill someone is actually least efficient but the most spectacular, at least when it comes to killing John Wick

Overall actions were good enough, comedy was good at some points. But I can't bring myself to rate this more than 6, because it is just so average family-comedy-action movie.

Great animation, but full of cliche, with hollow predictable plot.

Edit after finishing 1st season:
Half way through it became more interesting, I'm glad I didn't drop it after first 3 boring episodes.

I feared that this episode would be uneventful after previous one but damn it's already -1 dragon, tons of lost ships, spread of Jon's secret information and spiteful negotiation.

the only thing that I don't understand is why didn't they just shoot deny&co during negotiation?

The entire series feel like prelude to some hentai.

Game of Thrones: 8x03 The Long Night

After very boring endgame, this is just what I needed. Fully packed action episode, without stupid obvious moments, with minimum dialogs (as it should be) and nonetheless maximum delivery. Stayed hooked for whole hour.

anime had great start but after couple of episodes it became so slow, overly optimistic, overly cute (in a bad way), cheesy and just booooooring

Incredibles 2

2/10 main plot, very predictable and straightforward
8/10 slice of life stuff, was kinda fun to watch
10/10 edna, as always
overall it was good, but, as many others noted, not as good as first movie, the only thing that improved is graphics (x1000)

matt: i'm gonna make joke about it

Every 30 seconds (or less) there is a joke about something. No matter how stupid jokes are, no matter if they are appropriate for situation, they are just there and you are waiting for them. You know that whatever happen there would be a joke about it. And because of this it's fairly hard to watch this show. So predictable, so plain... (But some jokes were good.)
It's almost like sitcom but animated and w/o background laugh.
