A call for nuance

#940

I will, probably, regret posting this, but I feel like I should, nevertheless, because I believe in the need for inclusive, nuanced approaches to understanding and addressing violence across all contexts.

There was this articlein Helsinki Time

Mecha-ude (新アニメ)

Episode 7:

Felt a bit chaotic. Once again as if an episode was skipped, and then turned almost into Kill La Kill mixed with Transformers.

魔王2099

Episode 6:

The fight was not particularly flashy, but it still felt very satisfying. Purposeful. Even managed to expand on both characters without turning into like 10 episodes.

Episode 8:

It’s a very interesting feeling I get from this show. It’s like it tickles my brain in a peculiar way. The dialogues are just so satisfying. They are like fights in… Dunno, Demon Slayer, perhaps, but with words. Every word seems to have

BLEACH 千年血戦篇-相剋譚-

#936

Episode 7:

The last couple of episodes have been quite boring for the most part. I think it actually shows how the story aged. Or maybe I aged? Either way I notice the silliness more, it feels more out of place and unnecessary. Lots of characters that

Don't deal with OP

#934

While FINE is in process of... Doing whatever they do, OP decided to write me about my use of Western Union.

I did have a couple of large transactions within last month or so, so I would expect them to ask about those specifically (which I did point

BLEACH 獄頤鳴鳴篇

#933

If someone says that it was not planned to continue the arc - I'll bite them. It definitely was. I mean, did it not come out around the time that Blood War anime started? I am sure Tite is working on it, probably just holding it back till the anime

Look Back

#932

It's fine. Would not say it's that deep of a story, and would not call it a tearjerker or anything, but it's a decent watch. I think it lacks proper build-up of both characters, let alone their bond. There are a few moments, that try to do that, but

Darwin's Game

#931

Started quite good, but turned into a mess around mid-way. While the premise was kind of "magical" it felt somewhat grounded, if not realistic. Powers were not everything, and generally had some limitations, which made most of the fights relatively

オーイ! とんぼ 第2期

#929

Episode 5:

I didn’t like this episode. The start felt chaotic and somehow out of sync or out of order. There was no pressure on Tonbo besides like 2 seconds, where it were her fears, rather than someone being better than her (which she needs). Shima

My Little Universe

#928

Have you ever wanted to be able to finish a mobile game? Like, completely. Like, it has an end in the first place. Well, this one is for you then. At least, if you are ok with cheating.

I first learnt about the mobile version of the game, and I really

Agatha All Along

#927

It's not as bad as everyone predicted. Definitely better thanSecret Invasion. But still not really that good.

The show does have some good moments, 1st episode had some interesting "hooks" in it, for example. Plaza was great, and I'd say we needed

Don't deal with OP

#926

There was some not-so-interesting mails between me and FINE, but today they suggested, that they can move my inquiry to "dispute", and asked for demands. Here's what I've asked:

Joker: Folie à Deux

#925

Doubled-down false advertisement. Even with original movie it was clear, that Arthur was unlikely to betheJoker, but even if we assumed, that he would be, it was more of interpretation of the character, if character was, indeed, victim of

Episode 5:

First part was so wholesome.

Am I Racist?

#923

This movie will definitely upset some people. Probably those "woke" people for the most part, because they will not get the point of it. Which was summarized by one of the interviewees: the problem is overblown by media. That's not saying it does not

Mecha-ude (新アニメ)

#922

Episode 4:

First it felt like there was a big time skip, and then as if they were talking about Transformers lore. Aki is still super cute, though.

オーイ! とんぼ 第2期

#921

Episode 4:

I did not like how conveniently Tonbo got new stuff this episode. Felt unnatural. If someone bought all the new gear for her, that would be more realistic. I also hope there will be some pressure on her during competition.

The Batman

#920

I do not regret rewatching it. Did it add something to my life? No. But did I still enjoy it? Yes. I really hope that they continue with this style in next movies.

Like a Dragon: Yakuza

#919

Boring. Could not keep my eyes on the screen even. Just utterly boring. So boring, that I can't even think of enough words for a review.

Gridman Universe

#918

Is it a cashgrab or a good crossover? I'd say it's both.

I think crossover side of things does make at least some sense from perspective of lore of original Gridman and Dynazenon, but ultimately still feels a bit forced, and possibly unnecessary. Most

Caligula: The Ultimate Cut

#917

Definitely not for purists, but ultimately underwhelming.

I have not watched the original, although my parents had it on VHS (probably theatrical cut, though), but I've heard a lot about the movie, how controversial it was, how both disgusting and yet

The Edge Of Sleep

#916

Gen Z reinvents Freddy Kruger. I'm kidding, but the theme is really similar, since you die if you sleep, and dreams are very important in the story. It is much more grounded and "sciency", though even though science is somewhat questionable at time,

魔王2099

#915

Episode 2:

So... Hataraku Maou-sama but in future, with more magic and potentially a bit more grounded? Although considering the ending of the 2nd episode... Who knows? If it will turn into out-right comedy next episode, that will not look good, to be

来世は他人がいい

#914

The starting scene of 3rd episode describes the issue with the show, I think. The scene is Kirishima orally pleasuring the girl (not Yoshino). And even though it does not show anything really, they did darken the girl's thighs for whatever reason. It

オーイ! とんぼ 第2期

#913

Episode 3:

Looks like the theme of "you also need to enjoy the sport" will continue in this season, as well, but will also be accompanied by the theme of pressure from parents (and maybe not only) to do things in a specific way, and only that way,

嘆きの亡霊は引退したい

#912

Episode 4:

Nope, gonna drop this after all. Because they added another character, which feels very cringy to me, who seems very abusive, and is a complete turn off for me. I pity Tino, for real. Also it had some more out-of-place butt shots, that were

うずまき

#911

Stick to manga. First episode felt good, but then animation and pacing went to spiral. Don't get me wrong, the manga itself is also not that good in terms of the story, and them cutting some things out did not really detract anything. But this is

青のミブロ

#909

Felt quite generic. Was also predictable and looked cheap, which may not be good, if it's supposed to be action-oriented (and premise does suggest that). Characters were bland, I did not find anything that would hook me. I think, main attraction here

空の青さを知る人よ

#908

It's a nice watch. Until you think a little bit harder.

It looks good, the pacing is solid with ups and downs as one would expect them, and they do generally make sense. It could have sounded a bit better, considering it's music-related. The message

Don't deal with OP

#907

One could have only hoped, that something will change after 2nd attempt to reach ombudsman. But not me. This was kind of predictable. Same generic wording, nothing concrete, ignoring the fact, that Ididprovide evidence of source of funds, it's just

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft

#906

Cheap money grab. Parasitism on fandom. My knowledge of the character is limited to Tomb Raider trilogy (the one that started in 2013), since I never played other games (or at least not enough to learn enough of the character), but I do not think

ダンダダン

#905

Episode 3:

Did I miss something? In the end of the episode, Momo was not holding the curse. How come?
That granny, though… She looks as young as Momo, practically.

オーイ! とんぼ 第2期

#902

Did we really need a recap?.. Even if we did, did it need to be for full episode, instead of, say, 5 minutes? It’s not like the story was that complex.

CSAM Monitoring

#901

I shared some thoughts on some proposals about CSAM regulations on LinkedIn recently, and decided to share them here, as well, since, unfortunately, this topic is quite personal for me. But I will also expand a bit.

Ranma ½ (2024)

#900

Feels nostalgic. And I have not even watched the original. But overall feel, pacing, humor, it feels like some anime I saw when I was a kid (without yet differentiating them from cartoons). Looks great, sounds great... What more can you want? You

星降る王国のニナ

#897

Oh, BTW, what was that about an "outie" in the 2nd episode? I know only 1 meaning of that word, and it's not applicable to males.

缉妖录之启程篇

#896

Is this supposed to be connected to some other story or franchise? Not just because the name (AnotherJourney To The West) implies it, but in general? It felt like they were laying "mysterious" on anything and everything, not explaining anything in

The Franchise

#895

Why was there hype around this before? Or was it that I just wanted to see one of my favorite redheads (Aya Cash)? It felt like I saw some marketing, that was suggesting, that this will be some top-level comedy, but I did not feel the comedy, while

来世は他人がいい

#894

I am uncertain, what they are going for. One time this looks mostly like a comedy (I even thought of Nisekoi, considering the premise), but then it becomes much darker, and then it becomes practically a comedy again. Maybe this is intentional for the

嘆きの亡霊は引退したい

#893

3 episodes in and I am still unsure. It feels like a false advertisement with narrator saying every episode, that this will be a show about Krai coming to power, but then it's technically not, because it's actually about Tino, while Krai is almost

Mecha-ude (新アニメ)

#892

2nd episode was definitely better than 1st one. It felt even more dynamic, there was more humor, that kind of fit the context. It will, probably, still turn out to be brain-dead in the end, but it does look like nice entertainment. We definitely need

魔王2099

#891

Surprisingly, feels quite fresh. The premise seems somewhat similar toDead Mount Death Play, in a sense, that a powerful entity is killed, and then gets reincarnated into the future, specifically into a world similar to modern one. But I think this
