Death of the parents is again at the center of a horror movie. With "Relic" (2020), introduces again the feeling of pain turned into terror within a family. Bertino uses these resources to build an atmosphere that is always unsettling. Apart from some imbalances in its execution, we are facing a solid film that again, as in "The strangers" (2008), builds an external threat that is the mirror of an internal flaw.
Getting really tired of animes killing off characters episode 1 for no reason other than shock value.
Lee Kang: "You make me uncomfortable so please leave this country."
AKDJSHGAJSD THIS FOOL. :sob::sob::sob::rofl::rofl:
Remember that edgy thing called "Elfen Lied"? Yup, this is by the same author and while I'm fuzzy on the details on that it certainly is similar in the way of inflicting violence to teenage girls. It is also probably the only 1-cour show that changed openings on the second last episode and then even to a terrible crunkcore-thingy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C__joUsxAPw).
Despite rating it just a "4" I want to stress that I got plenty of enjoyment out of it... just for all the wrong reasons - or maybe not! Going by the anime alone one has to either believe this is a work by hacks (which it kinda is) or well versed people intentionally taking the piss out of genre conventions.
Anyways, you should not watch this show if you expect any kind of logic or common sense. The story is ridiculous and badly paced. It also follows the same pattern up until the end where they just throw in an ending because they can. What made the show for me was it's schizophrenic tone, switching between comedy bits set to goofy music with some romance to heavily censored action - with a straight face. Really, it's amazing how much bullshit they managed to stuff in there. If you want to watch something so bad that it's good give it a go.
Cyborg is insufferable. I love everything else though, this show is hilarious.
I had hope due to the director and some good casting. Then they added John Cena....lol.
Writer #1 hey whats the quickest way to make a somewhat likeable character hated enough so people wouldn't complain if we suddenly killed her
Writer #2 just make her sadistic and have her threaten to torture a fan favourite
First part was way better...
Hmm :thinking: Hate the way have written it so that everyone seems to be down on Clarise. Can only think it's because this way they can make her they female hero.
Episodes 23 and 24 are superb. From what I've read from those who have read the original novel "Time Machine" that this was based on, the ending was changed in the TV adaptation, based on that information I could say that the director and writer did an amazing job in giving us a different ending--it was heart wrenching, lovely, and touching.
As with most adaptations with a different ending than its original source, it is rare that the new ending leaves an impact to the audience, most often than not the original ending is still better. Not in the case of First Love Again (2021) TV adaptation, their ending deserves to be an official ending too, especially since we are talking about parallel universes and time travel.
The male and female leads were a perfect match. They portrayed perfectly what many of us experienced back in High School and whenever we fall in love. The anger, the sweetness, being playful with each other, even the little things they captured it all awesomely. The same with the side stories with their friends, like the pain of being rejected or the unexpected surprise classmates no one expected will be together ended up getting married.
It is also worth mentioning that they effectively used all 24 episodes to tell us different interconnected stories. It was not rushed nor was it lacking. They also kept the physics of spacetime travel (yes, one word "spacetime") simple and to a minimum. If we are going to talk about how logical it was, at this point it is hard to say. In the latter episodes, there appears to be some leaps when it comes to spacetime travel, but since I have not taken the time yet to fully review and gather my thoughts about it, I can not say anything about it … yet. Regardless, the spacetime travel is overall good and easy to follow for the majority of the episodes. Those who are not keen with parallel worlds and time travel stories would find it easy to watch this.
And hey, the overall story, the romance between our lead characters, are more than enough reason to watch First Love Again (2021) even if the Science does not make sense. This is a story of two High School friends that not even the universe can ever separate. A story about two souls who will always find each other and fall in love again and again and again and again …
Are they seriously trying to tell us this girl pitched a book to a publisher, got offered a deal and got published within two weeks? Dude. That's more unrealistic that time travelling.
honestly id be mad too if i was saito miu didnt even want to be here and she has no clue what shes doing like im rooting for her but also why are they doing this to her??????
This movie is a decent homage to Reservoir Dogs, but ultimately pretty forgettable. It's hard to see the point when Reservoir Dogs has been around so much longer, and is still just significantly better.
It never really felt like the main character of Gannon was ever in any danger, regardless of the secrets he was keeping.
The cast of characters was initially pretty fun, until they all started acting in ways no real person in their situation would act like.
There are worse movies. But that's not much of a recommendation.
This is the lowest I rated on a series opener. I'm not really enjoying it . may be its just my dislike to Kim Seon-ho characters in general .
P.S In the end credits its show Doo-shik is really smitten by Hye-Jin smile but i don't like condescending attitude towards her as everyone has a situation .
Also ffs who makes you walk that long before giving a job I would just say eat shit and bail outta there lol
I'm seriously in love with this drama. Fuka Koshiba's acting & even her choice of clothes is so damn good. I love the chaotic energy she radiates in the show. The comedy, romance and drama: Everything is spot-on.
I don't know who this kid is that plays Cyborg, but he cannot act. Every inflection is forced. Trying way to hard
Another great performance by a guest actor, I like it a lot how every mental condition it's being portrayed so far, there are other Kdramas that have failed completely to showcase this, they wether show it as something terrible or they make fun of it when it's neither one or the other, this dramas shows that every person can suffer from it.
Also director Lee Jae Kyu has giving us some impresive shoots this episode!
Each week this show shows me that its the best anime on tv at the moment!
the first weak episode. Guess it's a matter of taste.
People gave me a hard time for watching every movie in the Sharknado franchise.
That has NOTHING on this movie and just how bad it is.
At least Sharknado knew it was bad and worked off that. This movie feels as though it thinks its actually serious and a good movie.
JFC. I can’t even.
nahhhhh come on, please give me more of this now
The first half is the best the show has been since the Sioux Falls massacre from Season 2. I am disappointed it was only 25 minutes and not a full 50.
Well, in episode 5 I said that it could be one of the best anime of the season, now I think it will be.
No.. Come on please nooo, enough sadness
I really hope the 3rd season of DD is better than the second seasons of everything else. I hate season 2 of JJ. Unhappy about season 2 Luke Cage and disappointed in season 2 Iron First.
Compared to the previous seasons this was a disappointment. Well, this one had disgusting gore and splatter galore but it lacked the subtle horror of the previous seasons.
Wow, a nice surprise! I felt some Last of Us vibes.
I liked a couple scenes... glad I didn't go to the theater to see it.
Why didn't this series start with where this series ends????
This was great until the last scene. Looks like its gonna be one of those shitty harems. I'm gonna keep watching till it gets unbearable.
