Great interpretation of mental health that's greatly exhausting to watch.
I had to smile when Brau-1589 was laughing, because the voice actor was using that iconic Doflamingo laugh.
Great casting.
I loved how evil Doflamingo was in the manga, and I love the manga more than the anime, but his voice actor made the character feel like a real life charismatic psychopath. Just him saying ''Fujitora'' in this episode gave me chills.
One of the best voice acting performances I've ever seen. I looked him up, and I was very surprised to see that he doesn't have too many big roles like this one.
That little speech from Fujitora about Luffy is one of the best moments in One Piece for me. It's written so well, it makes you happy, and gives you motivation to improve and be a kind person like Luffy.
Everyone asking to work under Luffy was, of course, amazing too.
Oh, great casting for Corazon. Koichi Yamadera is the GOAT.
Caesar's laugh is reaching Moria level of annoying, and is ruining very good episodes.
Very fun filler, I like that Momonga is in it.
One Piece episodes or manga chapters that introduce Luffy (and the crew) to the new characters or reintroduce him to the old ones in some grand fashion are always the best.
Luffy and Buggy are the best comedy duo.
This episode makes me feel super. Aw!
I love Edo period, but sadly, these type of filler episodes are always really bad.
I don't know why they keep making them.
Great little filler episode.
This is the second filler episode that shows Nami following her dream; drawing the maps. That's something I wish Oda showed us in the manga.
These 'let's see how the old characters will react to the new Straw Hat bounties' episodes are always my favourite.
Man, Luffy's voice actress is just unbelievable.
Chimney and Gonbe are always cute and funny, definitely my favourite minor characters.
Oh no, Franky has the same VA as Bon Clay, I don't know how will I get used to it.
Perfect acting by Usopp's VA in the last scene.
They added even more games in the anime.. this is torture.
Last scene
That smile, that damn smile..
In this episode there is more story and psychological material than in 50 episodes of other animated shows.
Just listening to the background conversation on the radio, when Misato and Ritsuko are driving in the car, made my head explode with all kinds of thoughts. I paused the episode to read more about Freud's oral stage, and think more about the whole story, and I totally forgot I didn't even finish the episode..
Hideaki Anno is amazing.
Everything in this episode is masterful. Story, animation, action, voice acting.. everything.
The actor who plays Zeff sounds so much like Gordon Ramsay, I was losing it every time he said something.
Absolutely perfect casting.
We finally get We Are!
Not putting Jango and his moonwalk in this episode is a frickin' travesty.
Also, the acting in Zoro's past was uhh.. something. My God, Kuina's actress coming in hot with a perfomance straight out of The Room. The child actor for Luffy is Al Pacino for all of them.
As a manga reader I really liked this episode, but I had a feeling that Koby wasn't there with Usopp in the manga. I noticed some changes so far, but I felt this is a big one. So I skimmed through the adapted chapters to see if I was right and.. I've made a huge mistake. My opinion on the show went from very positive to negative.
The showrunners have cut so much stuff and there are a lot of great and iconic moments missing. Or they've changed some things and made the show weaker. Example, Luffy stopping a bullet with his body. In the show he does it in front of Alvida, and it looks nice and it is a fun scene. But in the manga he jumps in front of Zoro and Koby to save them in the last possible second, leaving everyone dumbfounded when they witness his power. Peoples reactions to Luffy's power are one of the best things of early One Piece. They are really rushing the plot.
Now, I've enjoyed every episode so far with a fuzzy memory of the manga, meaning that people experiencing the show for the first time are enjoying it too (at least I hope so). Plus, this is the first season of an anime/manga adaptation, so I am willing to forgive them a lot of things and put aside my negativity.
But! I have one big criticism so far (well.. two) that I am not willing to forgive and that's Nami's and Zoro's behaviour. Every time I see a scene with Nami in it my immediate thought is 'Please, smile and laugh!'. She should be 10x more cheerier and cheekier, that's the Nami everyone likes. In Zoro's case, I saw some people say 'He is just edgy, that's not him!'. No, he is just free-spirited and goofily stoic like in the first chapters, but the actor is making the lines sound edgier, and Zoro is missing some of his annoyed tone and is not yelling at all. We will see what will happen when (if) Sanji shows up.
The actors are not to blame though, they were told to act like that, and they are doing good work so far. I hope Nami and Zoro will be more ''energetic'' in the next episodes.
If you are an anxious person, Shinji's ''spiritual experience'' hits you like a ton of bricks.
Such a powerful episode.
These episodes are highly rated and yes, they are good, but the constant use of the narrator during this arc to explain every single little detail makes a lot of episodes worse and some very irritating to watch.
There were some interesting concepts in this movie, but they were poorly utilized.
Wasted fantastic performances by Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgard.
Howie really thought he can beat Saruman.
What a movie.
The intro and incorporation of two filmmakers into Chiyoko's life story is genius. And the editing is just masterful.
But what makes this movie really great is the inclusion of various periods in Japanese history into various movies that Chiyoko starred in and the inclusion of Japanese filmmaking history in those same movies.
If you know a bit about Japan's history and about old Japanese movies you will appreciate this movie even more.
I wanted to watch every Satoshi Kon's movie and this is the second one I've watched after Perfect Blue. I sympathized with Chiyoko and felt sad while watching the movie, but when she acts in a period drama that was clearly inspired by Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood, I started thinking how Satoshi Kon, this amazing director, made only 5 movies and died too early.
That made me even more sad and it made Millennium Actress quite an unforgettable experience for me.
It’s a burning, breaking thing. This world.
This is more of a folk drama with horror elements than a straight horror movie. A young mute girl goes on a haunting journey of understanding what it means to be a human.
So far this is my favourite movie of the year, but it's def not for everyone. I would say it's somewhat like The Witch (old folk horror witch tale) and The Lighthouse (4:3 ratio and some gruesome scenes). If you don't like those movies you probably won't like this one.
The story is amazing, the actors are great, and the score and the cinematography are mesmerising.
Cons: The ''Freddy Krueger'' witch needed a better makeup and a crispier voice. CGI was not great in the burning scene and the axe attack scene was hilariously BAD. I think all of that fixed plus some more dialogue would make this movie 10/10 for me.
Thank you, Jesus! I repent! :pray:
Both very scary (claustrophobia) and very funny, top-notch acting by David Hewlett.
