I love this show!! It does true justice to the slice-of-life romance genre and although it's set in a highschool, the show itself doesn't fall into the cliches of most highschool animes out there. Instead, it does an amazing job of exploring the lives of these teenagers in a mellow and nostalgic way with an undertone of anxiety about the future.
The best thing is that the characters are not flat. They have enduring traits and faults. They are treated as people rather than caricatures and the reality they live in sometimes appears to be bittersweet.
I fell in love with the show, the characters, the pacing, and above all else the story. If you're a fan of slice-of-life in any genre, give it a try! You won't be disappointed!
Beautiful Animation. Loved the character development here. Trauma is hard to overcome, especially if you're faced with your abusers again. I'm glad she held on to her hope.
This is a pretty satisfying watch. It's brutal in the depictions of the crimes and very focused on the emotions and traumas endured by the family members that were affected so I wouldn't recommend it to people who could possibly get triggered.
Overall, although the show has a straightforward story, it has a great a cast, good chemistry between actors and amazing action scenes. The car chases are particularly advanced for a TV series. The plot addresses the pitfalls of both the judicial system and vigilantism while holistically portraying the different ways people pursue their versions of justice and revenge. Personally, I enjoyed the series and I'd love to watch it again in the future
This remarkable telling of the true rescue at Guna Cave is a stark reminder that life is truly mysterious. Though I found the beginning to be a bit slow, the story picks up about a third of the way through. It is also remarkably bereft of embelishment in its portrayal of the people.
These are not straight-laced, choir boys. They are working class young men who are there to paint the town red with little to no regard for the destruction they might leave behind. And in true ride or die fashion, they refuse to leave their buddy behind even when faced with (realistically) unsympathetic and irritated police officers. Although I can't say I enjoyed the experience of gripping the egde of my seat for a good portion of the film, I believe this is one I'll be recommending to others.
I thought I'd be disappointed again, but I'm happy to say this episode gave a lot of important context and brought back the interest I lost in the last episode.
Distastefully sinful. It's got drugs, kinky sex and straight-up-shit right in the first 20 mins. I can see why some people might like it but it was too chaotic and uncomfortable to watch for me.
I walked out.
Wow, I did NOT see that ending coming.
Brilliantly engaging and fun. It gets a bit too embellished for my tastes towards the end but the sheer fun of the story and the characters make up for that. Decent character development in the first few episodes before they dive into the final and main arc. They characters don't change so much and get closure from previous trauma and move on. Lots of comedy too. I would recommend it to cheesy-detective-story-loving people who are looking for a good time and some surprises.
This show is a dark horse in this season. I absolutely love the way the story is being told. It also won bonus points for having truly charismatic characters who have so much depth to them in addition to having amazing animation that really brought out the emotions of the characters through the acting and expressions. The way Dynasty China was portrayed was surprisingly balanced with the show highlighting its beauty while not shying away from the shadier nature of life during that era.
Well, it was definitely a Tom Cruise movie. Good action and a decently engaging plot but nothing that stood out really. Still, I had fun watching it in the big screen. It was very theatrical
Cute and fun to watch! I don't really like cooking but this makes me want to try cooking all the recipes. The adventure and world building is pretty standard and easy to understand but the most fun part is the character interaction. I've never identified more with an MC than this one when it come to isekai stuff hahahah
Totally masala film. i.e cliche action with cheesy lines.
Unrealistic but super cool action sequences, almost believable fantastic CGI and weirdly interesting wordplay in the dialogue that nearly made me forget how cringeworthy the content was.
There was an undertone of patriotic struggle throughout the film and religion was portray as another aspect of life rather than a plot point of the story. Take that as you will but personally I liked it.
Got to say though, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham really nailed it down for me that I'm very bisexual. curves and Muscles everywhere folks.
Pretty good recap and a solid direction for a possible second season but it definitely left me with more questions than answers so it was a bit of a frustrating watch.
An Inception-esque anime series that delves into inner psychology of serial killers, this show gets real twisty. Especially since it's set in a world where technology appears to be near psychic (and turns out it kind of is) . Personally, I really enjoyed the storytelling and binge watched the whole thing in one setting. The best part of the show isn't its plot (which gets questionable if you sit and think about it) but it's characters. The way the characters are analyzed, forced to face themselves and grow from the experience was fascinating to watch. It also made me think about what kind of person I'd end up being if I was pushed to the edge as well.
I'd recommend this to people who like psychological thrillers. It's not the best out there but it's pretty good and comes from a unique perspective. Plus, It really does have 'banger music'.
Dang, this show gets more interesting with each episode. It's chock-full of things to dicuss and ruminate over. I'm going to be pretty sad with it ends.
It was a fun watch and surprisingly relatable. It made me miss my own youth and wish I had appreciated the little moments more. I think personally, the best part of this show is that all the young main characters are unapologetically brash and passionate as they try their best to navigate through life. I think as we get older, we tend to disengage more and fall into apathy, and this story reminded me that living in the moment does not have to be mutually exclusive with living for the future.
It was a gripping and interesting show that's had binge watch potential, especially in the beginning. Unfortunately, I'm put off by all the cheating that happened, even if it was by both parties, and they arguably deserved it. The acting was well done, but the characterizations of the main couple felt a bit immature and cringy, especially in the middle of the season. I've watched worse dramas, so I still think it's an intriguing show with the ancient spells and the storyline. Probably won't recommend it to someone, though.
Another amazing season in this phenomenal show! It continues to bring up important questions as to hierarchy, bureaucracy, and the apparent quintessential human need to put others down in order to get ahead. There are just some shows that we as people need to watch to nurture humanity in us, and I believe this is one of those shows. Hopefully, if we're ever put in similar situations, we can handle it with empathy and genuine concern.
Beautiful animation as always. It was a bit cliche, but she's come so far from where she used to be that I don't even care. I'm happy she's found where she belongs
it's a little annoying that the plot is headed this way.. but I hope that MC gets a bit more clarity in thought and makes her decision fast.
Extremely captivating as a story. It grabs your attention, doesn't let go, and keeps you guessing until the very end. I wish there was a small epilogue of sorts to see more of how life goes on, but I'm satisfied with the end of the chase.
Beautiful aesthetics with a poetic undertone. Personally, I think this is a slow watch and not a binge-watch anime. The protagonist is someone who has been beaten down to resignation, but it is heartwarming to see her bloom and see the quiet strength she has in her shine. It goes to show just how much a little genuine care goes a long way when you're walking through hell alone. I look forward to seeing her grow and develop.
Poetic and heartbreaking. She feels so empty yet overflowing with tears at the same time. Looking forward to seeing how her character develops
Hilarious and exciting, this show is a credit to the comic it is based on. I was a bit curious as to how the comedy would transfer on screen but I was not disappointed at all. Although it may seem cheesy at first glance, Business Proposal does an amazing job of offsetting that by making fun of itself through well timed scenes and well placed animation.
Loved the characters who were well casted and the story progression was very relatable but at the same time unbelievable. If I was left wanting of anything, it would have been a more satisfying ending. After the rollercoaster ride that this series was, the ending fell a little flat. Still it is an amazing series and I recommend to anyone who's looking for a good time and some laughs. (and some great eye candy)
It was an okay movie but after Shang Chi, it felt a bit bland. It seemed more like a prequel movie than the main movie to me. Worth a watch but perhaps not at the cinema. Looking forward to the sequel though! Lots of unanswered questions..
Didn't expect it to be as interesting as it was. Great set design, characterization, and acting. Made me want to be more like Cruella which is mind-boggling with how I saw her as a kid. One of the few live action Disney films I genuinely like now
Watch it, you won't regret it! Awesome use of rock music too and of course we can forget Emma Stone just being a BAMF throughout the film
Great animation, good premise and well fleshed-out characters. the first episode really hooks the viewers in and from there on its a rollercoaster ride. This anime does a good job exploring different personalities realistically and not falling into the pitfalls of any stereotyping. It also delves into taboo topics in a very matter-of-fact way and doesn't dramatize the topics itself, just the emotions of the 14-year-old main characters (which, if we're being honest, is a very dramatic age for them anyway so it fits real well). If I were to criticize anything, it would be that the overarching plot wasn't very conclusive and left me with a lot of questions (some of it answered in the special). I was left wondering 'wait, that's it??' at the end.
Regardless, it's a really captivating watch and I recommend it to people who are in to fantastical psychological thrillers. If you're happy believing children are meant to be and should be pure and innocent, this is not for you.
One of the better written, directed and acted k-dramas out there, this show not only make you introspective about life but it also brings up social taboos in Korean very respectfully and tactfully.
I loved the perfectly imperfect characters and how with each episode, they grow closer to understanding each other and themselves. Definitely a must watch, you will not be disappointed.
Man, this show is not afraid to go anywhere with their plot. Gotta say I liked how they brought about the dark side of adventuring out though. Pretty realistic that.
Got the opportunity to watch the preview screening and it was a roller coaster ride! One moment I'd be laughing and the next tearing up. I loved the relationships were portrayed in this film and the locations that the film was shot in were gorgeous.
I have to say that the best part for me personally was the very rare portrayal of America through the distrustful eyes of a foreigner who vehemently did not want to be there. The film also successfully pointed out the many assumptions and stereotypical perspectives that the average American has of Mexicans in a comical but thought-provoking way. Renato's journey was as much about accepting the role America had in his life (represented physically by his half-brother, Asher) as it was about getting closure with his father.
I had a fun time watching this film and would definitely was it together with my family when it releases.
This is a slow-paced show aimed primarily at animators and animation-lovers. It has amazing animation and a unique style that at times seems a bit far fetched (much like most animations)
Personally, I enjoyed watching the three girls build a club based on making animation films and producing several shorts. It explores not only the art design but also the business production preparation and production issues that pop up when creating animations (on a small scale). As an artist myself, I found it very relatable.
But like I said before, if you're looking for a fast-pace and action orientated show, this is not it.
