Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun Review


Media Name: Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun

Media Type: TV Series

Season: 2

Episode Count 12

Release Year: 2022

Series Director: Masayuki Kojima

Production Company: Kinema Citrus

English Networks: Hi-Dive, Toonami

Finished Watching: 2nd October 2022

My Rating: 8/10

I only got to watching the first season and the third movie in preparation for this season and I would say that I loved them. I would have to say that this season was probably the weakest part of the show for me so far but I still enjoyed it. The writing and characters were both really good with the new characters also being nice additions to the cast. The animation was really good with even the CGI looking nice (though a bit jarring at first). The usage of gore in the series paired with horror continued to be really well done. Some of the issues with this season were that there was way less horror and gore than in the first season and the movie. Another problem was that there was quite a bit of unnecessary toilet humour towards the start of this season which felt really out of place in this show although it stopped later on. It also felt weird to see them stay in one place for a long time. Despite these factors however, I would still say it was a great season and I'm hoping that Kinema Citrus makes a second season or another movie (even if we have to wait another 2-3 years to get it).

The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special Review

Media Name:  The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special Media Type: TV Special Series: MCU Release Year: 2022 Special Director:  James Gunn Production Company:  Marvel Studios English Network:  Disney+ Runtime: 42 Minutes Finished Watching: 25th November 2022 My Rating: 8/10 Given how much I like the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, I was really excited for this special. I'd have to say that it delivered. I found it to be really funny with the plot of Drax and Mantis kidnapping Kevin Bacon especially being amusing. The acting was really great as well. The CGI was surprisingly great given how CGI in other phase 3 MCU content has looked. The writing was also really good and the special was sometimes emotional. The only bad thing was the rotoscoped 2D animation for the beginning and ending which should have just been live-action in my opinion. Overall, this was a great TV special and gives the MCU a sign of hope.

Genndy Tartakovski's Primal Season 2 Review [SPOILERS]

  Media Name: Genndy Tartakovski's Primal Media Type: TV Series Season: 2 Episode Count 10 Release Year: 2022 Creator: Genndy Tartakovski Production Companies: Cartoon Network Studios, Williams Street  Original Network: [adult swim] Finished Watching: 17th September 2022 My Rating: 9/10 I first watched season 1 around when the first season had aired half of its episodes and I absolutely loved it just like I did for some of Genndy Tartakovski's other shows like Samurai Jack and Sym-Bionic Titan. So when I heard that there was gonna be a second season, I was really hyped and I would have to say that it definitely delivered. I enjoy shows which utilize gore quite a bit without forcing it and I'd say this season definitely succeeded with that. The characters were also really good in the series even though there was barely any English dialogue. The episode "The Primal Theory" was really bizarre and out of place but still a great episode nonetheless. The animation was a...

Planes, Trains and Automobiles Review

Media Name: Planes, Trains and Automobiles Media Type: Movie Release Year: 1987 Director:  John Hughes Production Companies:  Hughes Entertainment Distributor:  Paramount Pictures Runtime: 1 hour 32 minutes Finished Watching: 4th December 2022 My Rating: 8/10 I ended up watching this movie since my dad said that it was "Christmassy" despite being set at Thanksgiving. I would have to say that this is a really good movie that's not for me. The writing was really good and I felt that the chemistry between Neal and Del was really good. I found some of the jokes to be really funny as well. I also found some of the scenes to be emotional. This might be personal bias because I grew up with the show, but I found The Flintstones scene to be really funny. There were some flaws that prevented me from enjoying the movie as much as I wanted to though. I found it to be really slowly paced to the point of where it felt like it was on for way longer than 90 minutes. While Neal being a je...
