Characters that didn't have any logic. Annoying rebellious acts for no apparent reasons. "Wise" elder characters who bicker and are useless. Story line was inexcusably weak, character development was pathetic, and it was altogether a bad show. Original Airbender was good, this was not. Teen drama crap.

@snowfall I sadly agree with you.
Don’t trust the good reviews. 80% of this show is the equivalent of watching paint dry. You. Will. Feel. Every. Minute. That. Passes. Unnecessarily long and boring.

@khawlah I feel totally opposite, everything is so interesting represent, that i want to see more and more. You don't need to watch koreans films if you don't like their approach. This show is so good and well made with deep sense for art on other side and human psychology on other.
I found this movie to be well intended but filled with a bunch of conflicting views. Yes, homeschooling is awesome, however, it was also portrayed as letting the children end up with poor socialization skills, and they were left thinking that they don't know anything if it wasn't taught in a textbook. The characters were against fascist totalitarianism yet the oldest son (Bo) was a Maoist. How is Mao not the epitome of "the man" they so often talked about sticking it to throughout the movie?
That the grandfather didn't do anything about the children going missing? But they all made it fine to fly out of an airport?
There are way too many inconsistencies in the movie as far as political philosophy and ideologies. But I suppose if you are able to look past that (why they hell would you since it's core to the movie?) then I guess you will enjoy this.
Positive was acting, the idea of the plot, and execution otherwise, but I'd be lying if it didn't irk me to no end that these fundamentals were butchered.

@snowfall I think this hypocrisy and doublethink was the point of the satire. To show that Ben's family was, after all, as dysfunctional as any "conformist" family in different ways, because there is no perfect system.
I wasn't expecting this to be any good, But it was highly recommended and i love it!!! i love the storyline

@snowfall I forgot to rate it lol. I've just gave it a 10. I hope you enjoy it. A second season is coming too plus it had a movie too.
kind of apprehensive to even watch this given how poorly GoT ended. Would I just be wasting my time again?

@snowfall Yes, you would. This show makes the final season of GoT look like the finest TV ever produced.

So you didn't understand the time travel in this movie, it's pretty clear. Voting 1 just because you can't see it it's pretty dumb imho.
Good anime overall, but some very bad choices.
A miserable finale though, with 23 episodes connecting the first and the last episodes is also laughable.
What about the immortal and his sword?
It was 1997, but this was just sloppy writing... episode 25 in particular was garbage for the way it ends the show because it actually doesn't do anything. It doesn't end, it doesn't keep a suspense, it just gives you the finger and says "That's all, folks!".A lot of people have praised the manga, which is usually the case for any good anime; my guess is that its fine. But the movies are way better than the tv series. One can't be expected to invest 12 hours of their time into a show like Berserk and have that revolting ending (or lack thereof).
Although the movie trilogy skips some interesting backstories, muddles a few others, it also skip weak humorous attempts and other plot nonsense that was introduced in the show purely to fill time, and also disavow the entire show's tone in the process. The movies condense quite a lot to fit the format's length, but the superior serious tone, the polished graphics, and a proper ending, justify the trilogy over the 1997 show any time.

@snowfall It's just a number, but I tried to judge it overall, including the fact that it was made in or around 1997. Anyway, my ratings aren't always consistent across shows so you might have a point.

Well actually..that's exactly what the all movie is about, explaining what is a time travel paradox...LOL..."the serpent that bite his own tail"...
