If it weren't for MAPPA at helm I would have dropped this like three times already... At least the show doesn't take it's fake drama serious either. An upcoming tournament arc and one-note upperclassmen getting introduced doesn't really get me any more excited really.
This musical "tribute" to manly power fantasies is top tier cringe, bland and ultimately pointless in it's resolution. Surprisingly this is what they wanted going by the "commentary" of Mark Duplass after the episode...
The visuals and aesthetics were great in this as well as the kinetic animation style but the story massively leaves you hanging the twist is already hinted at from the get go anyways.
Always a good time with the reverend.
The mystery... 8ft(!!) below the surface...
Terrible acting, unnatural dialogue and a stupid story to boot. "100s" died in the lake and somehow it takes the ghost of their dead teenage son to get the father back to the lake when they had a vacation home there all along?:rolling_eyes:
Not for me definitely. The breakneck pacing has little regard for characters or a proper plot (so things must be convenient) and in this format more akin to something on SyFy or CBS rather than the ""HBO prime time slot""...
Underlying the FX sample pack with a Gil Scott-Heron song is just tone deaf and quite try hard imho (it didn't fit the scene nor the theme). George served his part as a plot device too apparently so let's commemorate it with killing him off...
I feared this show would be terrible given it's prototype isekai status (or so I'm told) but the key visuals looked quite enticing so I took the "risk" regardless. Now three episodes I'm positively surprised at the comfy fantasy quality the show has going on (alongside the pretty visuals). And while the pervy side of Rudy is slightly off-putting at times it still serves as a reminder that this guy was a hardcore hiki before he was reincarnated and it's nice to see him actually still dealing with his past where as in most other shows in the genre the setup is just the means for self-insert.
This was one hell of a package, no complaints*. The pain in her eyes was real.
*Except for the landlady reaction shot which was way too dramatic for my taste.
Boring, lazy and non-sensical. This is intentionally misleading in a non-smart way. Neither the way it's acted out nor the dialogue (including exposition dump) hold up after the "twist". People around her, including the last victim know about a "nightclub serial killer" and we're even shown a pin wall full of news articles and missing persons stuff with headlines like "bodies found" (+on the computer) with lots of people, yet she is "only" at her 6th victim and hides all the bodies in her vince cellar... And the motive... jesus, what's your problem?.
Ugh... what a twist. Who would have thought that they all turn stupid.
You're not stupid Ilonka? Mhhhh. Honestly, this ending was utter shite. The Shasta storyline just gets conveniently amped up only to get abruptly stalled again and ofc. no one in the house heard or saw all the ambulance or police cars right at the porch... and Ilonka tells them about it only later and then even off screen?? Couldn't take up any episode time silly because we want to instead conclude some character arcs and two lame Midnight Club stories and throw in two more mysteries because this is a faux finale after all~.
There better be multiple killers because this shit makes no fkn sense and if it's the duo I think of it would still suck...
What a pointless filler episode. Concerned citizen.
Quite a strange script for this one but it was passable until it came to the reveal after which it was just embarrassing to watch.
This showed some promise but is unevenly paced and has lore that doesn't make sense unfortunately.
They got Luke WIlson for this..? If this was supposed to help the mythology of the Motel I think they kinda failed as this adds nothing to the show for me.
What a terrible chase scene at the school... I wish the somehow would only have had the "SCREAM" title for a single season where as they now even start to drag titles of other horror and slasher films through the mud in the way of episode names 😠
This is getting more and more painful to watch.
This kinda lacked the punch it needed. Maybe it's because I was constantly bothered by how bad it all looked. Toei certainly doesn't give a shit...
Didn't necessarily hate this but the concept sure is undercooked and made very little sense. I anticipated that Jaslyn would become a medium but apparently a cliché revenge plot is more in line with the show...
Oh no, this got a second season? Guess it's time to cut my losses. This was quite a lot of screen time to get to terrible action set pieces and parole spouting nonsense. I know the budget might not be the biggest but the extras were standing out in every scene...
Oh, didn't catch the Boichi in the intro so that's why the designs looked so looks familiar. Anyhow, was lukewarm after the first episode and this hasn't sold me anything different either. Can't say I like Dr. Stone as a character nor do I get the feeling this will really be about rebuilding society in a post-apocalyptic setting but just rushing past some initial world building to focus on one-dimensional characters somehow fighting it out (which can be expected since it's running in SJ weekly). I'm not the target audience but I tried :wink:.
You know, I thought I'd give this a shot given it's "horror" roots and provided that it is already canceled (and possibly cannot go too superheroish) but I cannot get into a story when I have to scratch my head every few minutes; this plays out too illogical. Be it terrible scene flow or the fact that no one reacts or handles this setting in a believable way. Dropped.
Aerobics master Kirito-sama VS ｐｈｙｓｉｃｓ...
...earth never stood a chance.
While this episode was luckily a lot less preachy than the pilot, it did little to reinforce my trust in the remake. Instead of giving the girls the time to explore their newfound powers and sisterhood it gets crammed with episodic fantasy stuff that CW shows apparently require. Them behaving very random and frankly stupid also didn't help it (was close to turning it off). I'll gladly welcome a Charmed reboot in my TV schedule but if this is all we can settle for then I'm going to drop this sooner than later.
I really wish they would either empathize Ito's style for "dramatic" scenes or add some eerie music to it. Feels quite bland mostly :(...
This is real? Pardon my choice of words: LMAO... That ending really was just slapped on top of it.
#RIP
I heard the manga isn't that bad but this was a slow paint-by-numbers deal that didn't draw me in. Not a fan of the world building considering everything looks normal despite having 90% of people getting super powers... It will also be as extreme of an underdog story SJ can think off. Why BONES is doing this for 13 episodes I dunno.
Part A had a nice reversal but that's about it. The spider thread "motive" is pretentious from out of nowhere... The timeskip with no explanation as to how he survived or what happened exactly was also quite lame (one would expect his time travel ability to set in..). All in all another episode not carried by the presentation.
Awesome episode! Looks like it was a good decision to end the first season with original content to get this played out without too many cuts. The connection the regalia have with the gods certainly allows for some complex dynamics. Too bad most shounen neglect that side of their "tools".
Nitpicking: Yukine's new form was kind of an asspull but something I can live with. Why wasn't Bishamon picking up on the fact that Kugaha is slaughtering half her family? And why would Kugaha bother to leave Aiha alive?
