I have an idea for a new augmented reality filter: turn life into a Shojo Manga
I'm going to make millions $$$
The Chika dance has saved my soul.
What makes this show interesting: It's as if you had a rom-com where they threw every popular character archetype (Tsundere, Dandere, etc) into one Anime and they were all sisters. More than sisters in fact, they are quintuplets! Throw a single guy at them, and let the comedy ensue.
If you want to know who the bride was, just think, where were all the other girls? Surely they wouldn't miss their sister's wedding?
This "special" isn't actually accurate. You find the real details for the movie here: https://trakt.tv/movies/k-on-the-movie-2011
An interesting little precursor episode to the movie. You can find the movie that this episode alludes to here: https://trakt.tv/movies/k-on-the-movie-2011
Filled with Clichés, but a touching goodbye to the entire cast of K-ON! I can't help but enjoy all the music they make in this series because I just love making music so much myself. It's never about how good it sounds, but the love and labor that went into it.
This movie aimed to be the next Inception. In terms of powerful visuals, complex narrative and truly mindboggling concepts that require you to think deeply to truly understand. It did not fully accomplish this incredible feat, but it did manage to pull some good punches.
I did find that the film lacked sufficient character development, and quite honestly, the emotional acting didn't seem very strong. While the action scenes could have me at the edge of my seat, any of the character development/emotional building scenes left me feeling underwhelmed.
Ultimately, they had a lot of the aforementioned characteristics but it simply wasn't done smooth enough. Oftentimes the plot felt jagged as you were torn from scene to scene. They handles the the explanation of the mind-bending concept, but they simply couldn't make the entire film feel smooth and connected. Despite understanding the plot and the internal physics quite well, I couldn't help but find myself lost in a way that did not make the film appealing.
You definitely feel the clichés while you're watching, but boy was it hell of a ride! Not much can live up to the thrill of giant metal machines duking it out.
First off, I will say tis show was truly a pleasure to watch. ufotable has a remarkably good track record for really outstanding animation. However, I have one question for you:
If Wisteria wards off demons and can kill them, and this is known by literally every demon slayer (as it is a part of their initiation ritual), then why doesn't literally everyone keep some on their person?
So my point is, yes it's good to watch and I'd recommend it highly, but don't think too carefully about everything as you'll find inconsistencies and unexplained details. That said, I'm looking forward to seeing more of Nezuko in action with Season 2!
I find it interesting that this qualified as the "good" ending to the story. Keep in mind, it's not really a full episode, just 10-ish minutes. But to be honest Saber just didn't mean nearly as much to me. In this particular route, I saw her more as a temporary figure towards Shiro and that her disappearance was just about guaranteed anyways. She was never quite as developed in this series either. It was still a nice little optional twist to the ending.
This was an absolutely superb Anime. Like really. The writing of the story is of course, quite entertaining. The action scenes were frequent and engaging, plenty of well done blood, gore and violence. Rin makes for a fantastic Tsundere splash of romance. The animation and music choices were both complimentary and artistically perfect. And this was my first introduction into the Fate series, all the concepts were introduced in good time with only a few somewhat unexplained instances. There was a decent amount of "we'll explain it after it happens" so don't take any immediate confusion to heart. I look forward to seeing what else the Anime adaptations of the Fate series has to offer.
Oh yeah, watch the Prologue episode too, it was quite good.
Truly a phenomenal movie. The film was a little more predictable than I would’ve preferred but it worked in this case. It simply worked to drive home the ultimate point of the movie: it was never about having a single purpose in life. The cute and funny moments we got as we watched the movie are ultimately a metaphor for the way you should be living your life. I would really recommend this film to anyone and all ages, because it’s never too late to start living, not even for Joe.
This prologue episode is a must, the plot setup, sword-fighting and animation is just too good to pass up.
This side-series certainly has its merits. While not quite as good as the original Steins;Gate, there were still moments in this series where it had me giggling hysterically, Hououin Kyouma style.
I watched this after fully completing the original Steins;Gate + movie, and I think it was the right call. After all the high-octane action of the episodes leading towards the original Steins;Gate conclusion, I think this series would have slowed down to fast and there would have been a greater chance I wouldn't complete the original series which would have been criminal.
Crazy to think that after completing this series, you are in fact traveling back through time to make possible the way that the original series ended. It's just absolutely the coolest way to make a side-series.
Now THIS, was a a hell of a Steins;Gate episode. This is what we came for
"For real? This is happening in modern day Tokyo?!" I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment.
Woah, what a sad realization that you can't change the future without time travel
Mwaahahaha, she has been domesticated
The dialogue of this show is absolutely hilarious and the plot really hasn't been all that bad either. The way that things worked out have been pretty amusing. As far as I see it, this has been "merely one hell of a season."
Honestly, this movie was pretty good. The story and visuals were engaging and there was plenty of action to keep things going. My biggest complaint is really just the ending. There was so much left unexplained and didn't quite make sense. If I were the producer of this, I would've looked at the script and said: "This needs to be a series, not a movie." That way there would be more sufficient character development and truly satisfying ending.
This show definitely has some of the very same elements that made Clannad so truly outstanding.
For one reason or another, I had a much harder time getting into this show. But once I got about halfway through the series, I couldn’t stop watching. It really pulled on your heartstrings towards the end, but it was worth it.
One of the largest flaws I found with this series, was that there was literally only one male character that had any emotional value. And that was of course the main character, Yuichi. And as a result, the stories of every girl revolves around a single guy, but this series is not intended as a harem.
Personally, I think this Anime is underrated; it has a very heartfelt story to it.
Oh dear, this series is one tragedy after the other without any hint of happiness in sight.
A very pretty little film. I wish my life was half as amazing as the vibrant imagination and stories that the little boy experiences.
This was quite the zany hectic movie! Imagine a mashup of the classic American western movie with slavery in the South. Don't think for a second that you are watching this movie like a documentary, because this movie thrives on the crazy concept of a freed slave gone gunslinger.
The movie definitely went along with the style of other Quentin Tarantino movies, and it really worked well here. By the end of the movie, I was both shocked and bursting out with laughter. "Our mutual friend has a flair for the dramatic."
Wow this Anime took me by surprise! To be honest, it reminded a lot of an American show called Leverage. That series was what first made me love the tricks and twists that a good show about con artistry and grifting is really about. The first season was fantastic, light-hearted and hilarious right when it needed to be.
But right when I thought I had the show figured out, season 2 changed things up. Suddenly there were some deep and dramatic themes, the ideas of learning from your history and moving on from traumatic life experiences. There was so much behind each character's motivation, and all along, the viewer needs to decipher truth from fiction!
Despite the Netflix tag attached, this has easily become one of my favorites. I will say that it feels slightly less like the Anime you might be used to, but personally I think that is less because of the Netflix puppetry, and more because this show is truly designed for an international audience.
Amazing show, I would highly recommend it.
This show is pretty much the essential American sitcom. Its incredibly funny but has some really meaningful moments too. I can't say I always liked every character, but I came to realize that part of the point is to be realistic and you can't like everyone the entire time. The real thing preventing this show from being a true 10 is the obscene number of clip episodes (episodes consisting of over 90% old episode clips). If it weren't for those annoying reuses of old clips, I would happily say this is probably the best sitcom to have graced the American television. I've probably learned more about how to approach friendship and life from this show than anyone else, now I just need to get off the TV and get out there :smiley:.
It was entertaining enough. Not a particularly stellar plot and not every action sequence was as good. To be honest, the thing that really killed me was the obvious sequel end scene.
Really weird episode filled with a bunch of Chandler and Joey flashbacks. The entire contents of the episode is literally in the two-sentence description.
What really makes this story unique is the style of direction that it takes. The story is written like that of an old western film, a genre of television that is rather iconic in American culture, but is rather difficult to replicate well. Somehow, the Mandalorian does an incredible job of replicating the feelings and action of old western films, all while including the various races and rich lore of the Star Wars universe. Truly a remarkable amount of effort went into producing this series!
