The Simpson's have been going downhill over the last decade, this series has hit bottom on episode 1. Well it can only go up from here...Maybe.
How am I still watching this. Jesus
I'm pretty sure that this episode was written by a bot that wasn't taught very well. Or by a real person who mistakenly thought that there was a Who Can Write The Worst Episode Ever? contest going on. I want my 43 minutes back.
What the actual fuck.
Carrie forgets all her training and experience to enable the plot. That ransomware, as refreshing as it was to see, was complete and utter bullshit. Let's ignore that these encryption ransomwares are built to make it as anonymous as possible and the hacker apparently read some of it (how? / why?) knowing he shouldn't screw with someone like Carrie, literally and metaphorically.
But creating a communication line was hilariously stupid. Tracking the connection would have been easily doable. But no, no, no. We need drama and the incredibly stupid idea of Carrie flashing a stranger. Without even thinking that he perhaps records it and blackmails her with that, too. This whole thing was very cringeworthy and so akward.
It was also surprisingly convenient that the hacker was in an area where Carrie could drive to, wasn't it?
It's all to show how desperate and angry Carrie is, fine, but all it does is displaying stupidity in the process.
A level of stupidity that is infuriating to watch.
I am really not feeling this story so far at all. Everyone's out of character except for Skinner. Thankfully not this episode but the one before there was this weird expository voice-over by Mulder (LAZY WRITING). All in all, so far it feels like a badly-done episode of Black Mirror.
is it me or this episode was on a tight budget ?
I'm so over these Chris Carter episodes. Very poorly written - clunky dialogue and way too many bland voice overs. And that car chase scene was awfully shot. I've never seen so many close ups on stepping on the gas pedal before. We even had a double tap once.
Carter should stop writing and directing. Just like last season, I fear his episodes will be the weakest ones.
This was an episode that could have been shortened to 10 minutes. Out of all the Black Mirror episodes, this one is the weakest so far. This is an amazing television show, no doubt but Arkangel fails to live up the standard that previous episodes had. The ending was bad and it felt like it ended out of nowhere and didn't gave the whole episode justice. It lacked depth, usually Black Mirror episodes punches me in the face with emotions that I really had to stand up, take a walk for a while, and think about what in the world did I just watched, but this one has none.
Sadly, I think this confirms that I am finally over The X-Files. I never thought this day would come.
So many things that are just impossible. It didn't make any sense! Worst episode of the season.
Clues were all there. Motive was easy. Ultimate reveal explained all the gaps. First kills were kinda fun and in line with the 'slasher' genre using found objects (i.e. chainsaw, auger, snowmobile) but seriously..? the gun with the never-ending amount of bullets becomes the favorite? I swear that was the most overly used prop around. :-) Overall, not a bad season and I think I liked it better than the first (I will have to rewatch just to be sure)
I didn’t like this season as much as season one, but it was still good. Some things felt rushed while other things seemed unnecessary (Nancy/Jonathan romance, Max’ crazy brother). Let’s see what awaits us in season three.
Well, this season started off looking really promising and I have to say I'm very disappointed with the ending.
Actually, I have been disappointed with this season since episode 7. I think the whole SCUM thing was just a big mistake, it was ridiculous and badly executed. Also, the show ending with Ally basically ruling that SCUM cult or whatever was just... ugh.

The more I watch of this anime... the more I fall in love with it. This episode was absolutely beautiful.
As a massive fan of the original series, I was pretty apprehensive about this one. So far at least, this one doesn't seem to betray the spirit of the original. Some pretty nice visuals here and I quite like Kino and Hermes' voice actors. Getting used to the more "modern" animation style may take some getting used to and I did notice a bit of scene re-use already which I hope they keep to a minimum. All in all it does seem to be going for the same contemplative tone so here's hoping it will remain consistent throughout.
And so the story ends. It's been a long ride.
A great series and an expertly told story. I still can't believe Studio DEEN did this one. Bravo to them for crafting such a unique and compelling story.
This has been quite possibly the worst series finale in the history of television.
This final pretty sucks. Silver linin: I won't see Lena Dunham naked in the future

I love that we're getting right into the thick of things rather than stalling a bit on the slower material. Glenn is already showing glimpses of his former "BOSS" self. The main battle in the next episode is going to be absolutely lit and I hope it gets animated pretty well. Can't wait!
The series lost itself in season 3 and is never getting that spark back. Will keep watching out of habit, but... meh.
What the fuck kind of bullshit was that
What kind of piece of shit ending was that? God damn cliffhangers
I'm really no fan of going back and forth, staying on one point in the story.
Something this show does with the Rachel character, started to bore me at the beginning of this season.
Hence I was relieved that Coleman was there to stir this up a lot, a shining ray of hope for her character.
The whole episode was pretty strong - until the end. Totally stupid and out of character af for Jeremy.
Yes, he still loves Rachel and wants to protect here, especially after hearing about her past, but that is literally overkill.
I really hope this was a red herring to get Jeremy back in as a "trusted" member. There are several indicators pointing to that possibility. If it's not a red herring, then this show took a serious hit in my book.
Moreso than it did by using such a shitty season cliffhanger already.
5 out of 10 is gracious here.
Finally saw the finale and it was another nice episode. Anything with the mid-ranks usually ends in hilarity, and this episode is no different. We got a lot of nice little cameos from the entire cast (human and youkai) but I liked the flashbacks that Natsume had to when he was sick as a child. It had a really nice resolution at the end that linked together the whole episode. I'm sad that this season is over (and that it was a shorter season), but that'll be solved with the upcoming OVAs and the sixth season airing in 2017. CAN'T WAIT.
The fanservice came back but I don't even care. Somehow the animation actually conveyed the difference between the two Yuris' performances. That, in itself, is amazing.
Bravo. Right in the feels with one last misunderstanding ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) For what we got, this was a fantastic adaptation of the manga and ended on a good part. Loved the umbrella sharing moment and the final song of Cocoro Pallette being played again with (what I believe is) the cast singing it. I need all versions of this song ASAP.
There is also definitely a little more room for an extra OVA to adapt the Nonaka/Usami chapter and some other little parts, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for an announcement on that in the near future. Overall, I enjoyed this one so much this season as feel. really did a spectacular job bringing to life some of my favorite characters in recent memory.
There's going to be more in Spring 2017?!?!?! I thought that my nightmare of them ruining Berserk would be over after today, but I guess not. At the very least though, we'll be getting some much needed Schierke action. You can never top a loli witch ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
So much cut-and-paste from Love Live! season 1. SO MUCH.
I want to like this show, I really do. But so far it's spent way too much time trying to tell me, "Look! I'm still Love Live! See how similar I am?"—and that feels incredibly cheap, like the writers couldn't think of any original ideas so they paraphrased the story outlines from the first show.
A little bit of originality crept in here at the end (when it turned out people didn't come to the concert because Chika put the wrong day on the fliers), but other than that it felt like a carbon copy of how µ's got their name and the START:DASH!! concert. Sloppy writing there at the end of the episode, too. It just kind of ended, and there was nothing after the ED even though it felt like there should have been some kind of tag on it.
This is episode 3, and I usually decide whether to continue with an anime after 3 episodes. For now I will keep going, since averaging 6/10 isn't bad enough to stop me. But if I keep having to fight down the urge to rant about how much of a copy this show is, I'll eventually throw in the towel.
Holy hell, that episode was pretty horrific. No wonder Subaru broke.
Aw, it ends showing you that you were talking to the imaginary image of your stuffed animal. Now that's motivating and not lonely at all!
