this show is so boring and cliché. SAO and re-zero spinoff but without doing anything real to make it interesting. After a number of episodes dedicated to Ichirou running around being cute with his various women companions, I gave up. It had small element of uniqueness which maybe will be used later, I don't know. I can't take it anymore.
But whatever happened to making interesting standalone episodes?
The acting by the VIP's was beyond pathetic. Did they just pick random dudes off the street living in Korea who spoke English? I don't get it, all the other actors were great.
The city needs to be protected with big walls from cranks but the rebels have jack shit and are fine? There were so many things wrong in the movie that it's not even funny. If you're able to look past that it's entertaining although super cliche.
The first thing wrong was the train chasing scene. It's infesting how the train could stop exactly where newt etc were. It's in fact unbelievable; which is not good.
The story is intriguing and it's well laid out. However, the main character Thorifinn is slowly reduced to an annoying side character with little value, and other characters are of more interest. The ending was really weak, and my rating is between 6 and 7.
OK, well I foolishly thought this was an independent movie with no show attached to it. SO I was lost through the whole thing. The result of not being familiar with any of the character meant I was completely detached and could really have cared less about them. So basically, don't watch this movie without watching the show.
so even this show has succumbed to the lesbian gay shit I'm constantly bombarded with.
A gripping tale from beginning to end. I was wondering where they were going with it all, but everything fell into place at the end. And I was pretty glued to watching the movie.
Rob Lowe! Didn't expect to see him as blue man
"Us ladies will stick together. Unless, you think we need you to protect us"
sadly this is going the woke route too. but turning a blind eye to this crap, it's a strong show this season too
another tv show gone to shit because it has to be maladapted because of current shitty woke times. Thanks for nothing.
First season was very strong but it went downhill fast. Now it's only a bunch of interpersonal drama left
What a unique and uplifting show. The production quality of the music was unlike anything I've seen in any anime. The story was great, and it made me very happy to watch this. We follow two girls who decide to make music together after a chance meeting on a bridge and their rise to unite all of mankind.
The thing about a good anime, or any story for that matter, is that there has to be a good compelling reason to get into it, a good reason to keep watching it, and a good ending to tie it altogether.
Berserk was interesting enough to get into, and had high ratings to make me curious to watch it. There was no discernible plot until later, which was basically Griffith wanting to conquer the world and be king. This was his dream goal. There was some very loose ties to the necklace that he was wearing, the King's Egg, and this main plot. Most of the episodes existed outside of the main story, it seemed, with interesting fights and their conquests. The final episodes felt very rushed and detached from what the show had been building towards. It's was as if the team had suddenly been told "oops, hey you were supposed to have time, but ... well, finish it now" and it really shows.
I had to really struggle getting through the last episodes which became super dark, where the rest of the show wasn't. The shift in story and direction made me feel like it was a totally different show. It's not the show I got into, and as a result, the ending was a total mismatch from what I had expected and not at all satisfying.
There were some good quotes to think about, and the idea of fulfilling dreams in general. But it totally fell flat on its face on the end. I'm not sure why people overlook this in the other reviews, but I can't. There are many anime that will give you a good story as well as a coherent ending, this isn't one of them.
The thing about this show is that it's my favorite. Sure, I have other amazing anime's on my list, like Stein's;gate. But this is a show that's brilliant in so many ways. How can you really compare two master pieces that are so different ? I can't say Hajime no Ippo is miles better, but I can say I wasn't on the edge of my seat in suspense in any other show. They grow characters nicely and their quirks transfer well, and the writers build on them. If you're not careful, you'll miss some jokes because of the deep character build-ups. It's a bit goofy at times, and it lightens the mood, and then it gets very intense. It's a nice emotional rollercoaster done very well.
I think you should watch this show :thumbsup:
The show was too slow paced for my liking and the main plot was pretty shaky too. I don't get why it's heralded to be that great. That said, they pulled off the ending pretty well.
I wasn't pumped about another isekai but I got really invested in the character early on. It's been awhile since I enjoyed binging a show. This was a delight for me. The animation and the fighting scenes were great. Juju Kaisen has been getting all the attention but I thought the fighting scenes in JJK were nothing short of messy a lot of the time. This show has clean fight scenes. I also liked the twist on isekai too. It's not an isekai in the traditional sense.
I'm really looking forward to season 2
Ackles is just such a brilliant actor :rofl::rofl::rofl:
If you like the commonplace woke shit of today with a bit of tacky acting and an otherwise entertaining show, this is for you. For me, I find the woke shit and the tacky acting way too much in my face to actually enjoy the plot. The fact that they even call the bad guy a "darkling" should give the reader some idea. Gay couples are flaunted, of course - I did mention woke shit. And by tacky acting, I mean the tendencies of several characters to overact. Kind of sad but this is more or less standard these days. There are great parts in the show, that's why it's so sad. The special effects and the wardrobe are great too.
I guess now we wait for Jurassic Pa... I mean Troll 2
yeah, like it all you want. the puppets were cool, the different animation styles were cool. but I hate shows that get all seasonal and mess up a whole show with filler crap. I don't need to get the BM take on xmas.
While the show was unique and original I had trouble associating with any of the characters. Only the main character was really followed, and the other characters had no backstory and didn't have any growth during the season. Similarly, the main character has an interesting backstory of how she came to be in the situation, but this was hardly developed during the show, and more time was spent on the progress of the war than progressing any main story. The story of how Tanya got into this situation is the real curiosity. Also, I didn't find Tanya to be particularly evil, just skilled.
If you like kids to be getting an idea that husbands are complete pussies, then this movie is for you I guess.
A big undo button enabled by time travel. The plot doesn't score points
While the show did elicit a few chuckles, it was an overall disappointment. I think he lingered far too long on just about every part of the routine.
A story based on law but but on justice. At least they could have made strong arguments, but they didn't even do that.
If we had invented something, and could be held responsible for people abusing the product, then how would that encourage progress? To say guns are an exception is a simple case of special pleading fallacy.
Just stop with time traveling already
If my nose was bleeding, I would wipe it. Just say'n
Produced by Ron Howard? Really? I loved the books although I'm not caught up. I felt that the movie was weak and corny, not at all the intense story that King was weaving. Not that I expected it to follow my imagination in the book, but I had expected a movie that was more tight. Matthew did a fantastic job in True Detective but even he felt unimaginative in his acting.
@swnndn it's explained well here btw: http://www.astronomytrek.com/predestination-2014-explained/
