The first season is kind of boring.
But the second season is surprising me. In a good way.
So, having now watched it I would have to agree with the general consensus. Attack on Titan is a rather awesome anime. So many twists that kept me saying 'just one more episode. I'm pretty sure they're making another season (biggest cliffhangers at the end), which I can't wait for!
this anime is good.. watch it.. cause even though I don't like mechanical anime.. its awesome and I am loving it.. :D
I'm catching up on CBC's Heartland, Season 9. I turn into a pre-teen girl who loves horses when I watch this, and I like it! My more sophisticated, cynical, worldly wise friend will think I've lost my mind with my affection for this series, and they are probably right. I give it an 8 (great) out of 10. I think this series is the Anne of Green Gables for its time. Fallible characters, romance, earthy values, and, did I mention, horses.
Everything wrestling fans have been wanting. Attitude and wrestling is found here.
I just wish there was more
I've never seen a show with more annoying characters in it. No one is likable, all of them are crazy and hateable.
Will take me a long, long time to catch up. I've enjoyed the first 13 episodes. It's fun and Pirates are always awesome.
Very disappointed so far. Seems like they just threw a bunch of ideas at the wall hoping something stuck. Four episodes in and didn't care to finish
So much of despair, sorrow and almost not one tiny hope for mankind against Titans.
Awesome BGM in certain episodes really kicked the mood high.
Do you know that feeling of sadness and emptiness you get after finishing a good show that you really loved with all your heart? Well, this is what I felt towards this show. Each episode I watched on this show got me craving for more. I'm glad good story lines still exist, and I'm glad this show is popular because it honestly deserves to be recognized. I can't wait for season 2! THIS IS THE BEST ANIME I'VE EVER SEEN SO FAR!
NEEDS MORE MIKASA WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY THATS ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID STOP SAYING I NEED TO PUT MORE THOUGHT INTO IT
So at least the deaths are creative and interesting to watch. That being said, everythingelse about this show isn't worth it. The characters are cardboard, the plot is just as flat. It's something to watch when you want to have something in the background but don't really care to give it your full attention.
These characters feel like family. They are well-rounded, lovable characters that have complex relationships with one another. Jack is a gem and Lou is definitely my favourite. Thankfully I grew to love the new characters as much as the old ones.
I've spent the last week getting caught up on this series. Chris O'Donnell was the original draw for me (I loved his early movies - CIRCLE OF FRIENDS, THE SCENT OF A WOMAN, FRIED GREEN TOMATOES, and even BATMAN FOREVER). This series isn't great TV, it is basically "blow 'em up - get the bad guys of the week" fare, but it's clean entertainment (no nudity or salacious pandering) and I love the main characters, their relationships, their dynamic and the cast is solid (Daniela Ruah has some pretty impressive UK theatrical training). So I watch it for the vicarious relationships. I give the whole series a 6 (fair) out of 10, with the occasional episode rocking a 7 (good), and, when I have time, I usually binge watch to catch up on their lives.
This is my very favorite anime. I am so glad the author didn't stop writing it. I will literally cry after this finishes. But this anime has everything. It's so addictive that you look forward to each episode. It has action. Romance a bit. But it's amazing the work is good to. I recommend anyone who likes fantasy to watch it.
How can the CW get so many things so wrong, but get this so right?
That's...rhetorical.
The story lines are bound and respectful of the lead's bonds with her family and others. Nothing is over-blown or exaggerated in that respect. There's some Science Fiction-slash-Fantasy under the guise of Ancient Asian Mysticism, which as a Western white person I'm attracted to. And, there's some Martial Art's styled action (fight) sequences! Remember, it's a television budget, so don't expect the, "wire work," to be flawless. But, then again, People aren't flying about as much as in, "Crouching Tiger."
As much as I'm drawn to Science Fiction and Fantasy, it's the character development and emotional bonds that create the emotional pay-offs for me. Through this show I've gotten so many...moments..blocks of time filled with emotion -- where I've felt comfortable letting them sink in, so, deeply felt emotion. Better than that, of course, is that it's lead to plenty of, what? "Moments?" of that divine state of feeling emotionally charged with no particular emotional response tied to it. And, during those periods the different emotions the story brings up, like brilliant notes played across a keyboard are so much sweeter, and exquisite.
It is the, "Dopamine-ergic," brain-state I'd previously become accustomed to while watching the animated series', "Naruto," and, "Naruto Shippuden," that will keep me coming back for more. And, isn't that what we all want in good television, a foil against we express our humanity and connection to others?
This show is so good! I need a another season! :<
Literally one of the best things I've ever experienced. I put off watching it for the longest time because I thought I wouldn't like it but man was I wrong. I felt like something was missing when it ended (after rushing through all the episodes in about 4 days because I couldn't stop), I wanted more. I started reading the manga as soon as I finished the anime and I'm all caught up on it now. Can't wait for season 2!
Also, just a tip for anyone who's planning on watching it - make sure you watch after the credits on the last episode. There's a pretty massive plot scene afterwards that's very important and I almost missed it.
Now I see why Drama is put before Action in the genres! It's a great Action anime, but not meaningless fights and beatings, There is quite the story for it! Amazing anime!
One of the things I dislike the most about anime is the unnecessary use of sexual imagery. This show lacks that completely. It takes itself very seriously and I absolutely love that. It's an amazing series with tons of action. Expect to feel on edge from the very beginning to the last minute of it. I can't wait for season 2
Not quite the "feminist Western" which Netflix seemed to promote it as, but that's fine because it didn't need to be. Godless is a lush and rich Western miniseries which somehow feels fresh while still embodying many tropes of the genre. We have a tired sheriff with an overeager deputy, a band of outlaws seeking revenge and a mysterious stranger on the run. All this happens in and around a town populated almost entirely by (badass) women.
It's to the shows credit that it makes each of these clichés feel unique and interesting. The sheriff is losing his eyesight and is regarded as a coward by the women he's charged with protecting, while simultaneously struggling with feelings of resentment to his own little daughter. The evil outlaw (played superbly by Jeff Daniels) is actually a man capable of incredible compassion and acts of love alongside his brutality. And Whitey, the overeager deputy, turns out to be one of the most enjoyable and unpredictable characters in the whole thing.
But it's the girls of La Belle who do manage to steal a good portion of the show. Maggie is tough as nails and doesn't back down an inch when confronted with male posturing, as well as being engaged in a very natural relationship with Callie. Meanwhile, Alice lives her life exactly on her own terms as she raises her son along with her (awesome) Native American mother-in-law.
Godless is not an action-fest, although when things go down it's extremely satisfying. This is more of a measured story which lets things breathe. The cinematography is absolutely glorious and my jaw dropped at the staging of several scenes. I found it to the show's benefit that we spent so much time just taking things in as my attachment to the characters grew more and more. To give a specific example there's an episode in which a lot of time is spent with horses, and while it doesn't further the plot significantly, it pays off down the line and only allowed me to enjoy the experience all the more.
The cast are uniformly excellent, and it's easy to forget that three of the main characters are Brits. The writing is also of a high quality, and while this is not in the same league as the poetry and magnificence of Deadwood, it's very much going for a different vibe and doing its own thing. This feels more like an epic Western whereas the HBO show had a tighter focus on the comings and goings of the town it was set in.
That's not to say the show is perfect. I'm definitely not the first to notice, but there are a number of plot threads which are introduced but go absolutely nowhere. We meet characters like John Doe who have a mystery set up and then no more is given to us. We don't really get any huge revelations into Bill's past with his wife or situation, and what the Indian and his dog were all about. The (fantastic) German character Martha is only introduced at the very end. And we don't even get a proper explanation as to why Roy betrayed Frank in the first place. It definitely feels to me like there is plenty of room for a continuation, but this appears to be a one-off.
But I absolutely loved Godless. It manages to be incredibly satisfying despite its flaws, is one of the best looking shows you can watch right now and when it kicks off the thrills are absolutely glorious.
Absolutely great anime!
Every episode makes you wanting for more.
I watched the whole 1st season in 3 days!
This is with no doubt the best anime I've ever watched...But to be honest I've only watched S.A.O and A.o.T.
What an absolute breath of fresh air this show is! Loved it! Jenna's performance is superb, and the way its integrated into modern society works very well.
What a shame there are only 8 episodes, I could easily sit through another 8 :grin:
A Stephen King and Stephen Spielberg Mix in the style of an 80s show. Beautifully played by every actor, the soundtrack is always on point, beautiful colours, beautiful dialogues. Amazing show. Well made, Netflix!
Overall pretty awesome show. The music is always on point, the child actors are amazing and the story is interesting and captivating start to finish.
Would love a second season be it a sequel to this or maybe an anthology series a la Fargo.
Hands down, the best anime ever!
But it drags like hell and has so many flashbacks and intro recap that aren't necessary unless we all have alzheimers
If Stephen King and Steven Spielberg had a baby, this is EXACTLY what it would look it.
