Media Name: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Media Type: TV Series Season: 1 Episode Count 9 Release Year: 2022 Creator:  Jessica Gao Production Company: Marvel Studios Original Network: Disney+ Finished Watching: 1st December 2022 My Rating: 3/10 Going into this show, I heard nothing but negativity about it and I would have to say that, the hate for this show is justified. The CGI on She-Hulk herself is really ugly and looks like a meme edit. Quite a lot of the dialogue and humour was cringeworthy, especially the twerking post-credits scene. Some of the episodes could be quite boring to watch as well. Jennifer Walters could also be quite annoying as well. The writing was sometimes bad as well. Basically the only redeeming qualities were that we got to see what happened to the Abomination 14 years after The Incredible Hulk left his fate ambiguous and a year after he had a brief appearance in Shang-Chi. I also liked the Daredevil episode and thought that the finale was decent. It also...

Media Name: Ms. Marvel Media Type: TV Series Season: 1 Episode Count 6 Release Year: 2022 Creators:  Bisha K. Ali Production Company: Marvel Studios Original Network: Disney+ Finished Watching: 27th November 2022 My Rating: 5/10 Going into this, I didn't really know what to expect since I've never seen Ms. Marvel in any other piece of media and I've never read her comics. I'd have to say that this show was mediocre. The pacing was way too slow which made the show drag. It felt like they forgot at times that they were making a superhero show because there was so little action occurring. It also felt like they set up too many villains to the point of where it got confusing as to who was meant to be the main villain. The final episode was really messy as well though I'd have to say that I enjoyed it more. There were some funny jokes however sprinkled throughout. Overall, while I wouldn't say this series was terrible, I also wouldn't say it was great either.

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.

Media Name:  - Zen - Grogu and the Dust Bunnies Media Type: Short Film Release Year: 2022 Director:  Katsuya Kondo Production Companies: Studio Ghibli, Lucasfilm English Distributor: Disney+ Runtime: 3 minutes Finished Watching: 12th November 2022 My Rating: 8/10 I am a huge fan of both Star Wars and Studio Ghibli so when they teased that they were creating a piece of work collaborating with Lucasfilm, I was really excited. Even when they announced that it would only be a short film revolving around Grogu, I was still really excited. When it came to watching it. i'd have to say that I really enjoyed it. The animation was beautiful, and the story while basic, was enjoyable. The music was also really good. I'd have to say though that I was kinda disappointed that they didn't do something bigger for a Studio Ghibli Star Wars project though I still enjoyed it.

Media Name: Weird: The Al Yankovic Story Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2022 Director:  Eric Appel Production Companies:  Funny or Die,  Tango Entertainment,  Ear Booker Productions Distributor:  The Roku Channel Runtime: 1 hour 48 minutes Finished Watching: 11th November 2022 My Rating: 9/10 Going into this movie, I had already listened to a few of Weird Al's songs (Amish Paradise, The Saga Begins and the Captain Underpants Theme) along with seen quite a few episodes of Milo Murphy's Law (which he starred in) so I kinda expected this movie to be really over the top goofy. I would have to say that it definitely delivered. I found it to be really funny with a lot of the jokes landing. The acting was really good as well. I also found the movie to be well-written. It was also really nice to not only hear some of the weird al songs which I have already heard but also find some new ones that I also like. I also found the visual effects to be surprisingly really good...

Media Name: Smile Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2022 Director:  Parker Finn Production Companies:  Paramount Players,  Temple Hill Entertainment Distributor:  Paramount Pictures Runtime: 1 hour 55 minutes Finished Watching: 5th November 2022 My Rating: 0/10 When I saw the trailer for this movie before Bullet Train in the cinema, I thought it looked really good and was looking forward to watching it. Oh boy did this movie severely disappoint me. Keep in mind that this movie came out the same year as Morbius (which, in my opinion, is the second worst movie of this year, only behind this). Not only is this my least favourite film of the year, but it's also my least favourite film of all time. The writing in this movie was terrible, at times it felt like it was trying to be a cross between Sinister and Creepypastas. The acting was terrible. I felt the characters were really poorly written and didn't add much to the film. The police guy's scene felt like the "I implore...

Media Name: Housing Complex C Media Type: TV Series Season: 1 Episode Count 4 Release Year: 2022 Series Director:  Yūji Nara Production Company:  Akatsuki English Network: Toonami Finished Watching: 31st October 2022 My Rating: 2/10 Going into this anime, i was a bit sceptical since I wasn't sure as to whether it would be good or not. I decided to give it a go anyway since it was only 4 episodes long. It was terrible. There was times when I felt that it was really unintentionally funny such as when there was a lot of fish just dumped outside of the complex. The final episode got really confusing to me and didn't really make much sense. A lot of the characters were really unlikeable with some of them just being plain racist for no reason. The twists were extremely poorly executed and felt forced in. The only good parts were the animation and the English dub acting. Overall, this anime was terrible though I'm glad that it was only 4 episodes long so I didn't spend that lo...

Media Name: Treehouse of Horror XXXIII Media Type: Episode Series: The Simpsons Release Year: 2022 Season Number: 34 Episode: 6  Episode Director:  Rob Oliver Production Company:  Gracie Films, 20th Television Animation, Dr. Movie English Network:  FOX Finished Watching: 31st October 2022 My Rating: 9.5/10 This has to be probably the most hyped that I have ever been for a Simpsons episode I've ever been and I would have to say, it delivered. I found it to be really funny with basically all of the jokes landing. The animation was great with the animation by DR. Movie in the Death Tome segment being absolutely fantastic. The Pookadook segment was probably one of the scariest Treehouse of Horror segments of all time. I loved all of the classic references in the Simpsons World segment. I also thought that the Bob's Burgers crossover was nice to see even if it was short. I loved the Death Tome segment the most though that may be because I love the Death Note anime. The ch...

Media Name: Werewolf By Night Media Type: TV Special Series: MCU Release Year: 2022 Special Director:  Michael Giacchino Production Company:  Marvel Studios English Network:  Disney+ Runtime: 53 Minutes Finished Watching: 26th October 2022 My Rating: 5/10 I'll be honest and say that this year in terms of the MCU has been disappointing to me but I was looking forward to this one. When I watched it, it was just ok. Maybe it's because I haven't seen any old monster movies that inspired it but I thought it was boring most of the time and not really that scary at all. Some of the scenes in the movie also reminded me a bit of Morbius (which I'd say is the second worst movie of this year). I thought that the fight scenes were good though and the CGI was better than most of the other things from the MCU that released this year. The black and white filter also added to the movie in my opinion. Overall, I was disappointed by this though I wouldn't say its one of the worst thi...

Media Name: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Media Type: TV Series Season: 1 Episode Count 10 Release Year: 2022 Series Director:  Hiroyuki Imaishi Production Companies: Studio Trigger, CD Projekt English Network: Netflix Finished Watching: 12th October 2022 My Rating: 8.5/10 I've never actually played Cyberpunk 2077 nor have I played any of the tabletop games but I decided to watch this anime anyway because I love Studio Trigger's anime and the show also looked great. I'd have to say that I really enjoyed it. The animation was really good as per usual Trigger standards. I really liked the music with both the OP and ED being really nice songs. The action was really good along with the writing. The characters were all unique and really well-written as well. One of the bad things is that the ending felt really rushed to me. Some of the major characters died with nobody seeming to care that much and were really brushed over and quite insulting. I also know that this is how it was in the...

Media Name: Fruits Basket -prelude- Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2022 Director:  Yoshihide Ibata Production Company: TMS Entertainment English Distributor: Crunchyroll Runtime: 1 hour 28 minutes Finished Watching: 9th October 2022 My Rating: 9/10 I first watched both adaptations of Fruits Basket last year and I would have to say that the 2019 adaptation is one of my favourite anime of all time. When I heard that they were making a prequel focused on Tohru's parents, I was really excited for it. I finally got around to watching it when it got put on Crunchyroll. I was a bit disappointed that part of it was a recap though I'm glad that the recap only lasted 30 minutes. The recap did feel largely like it was only there to fill time though. In terms of the actual movie itself, I loved it. I really enjoyed the storyline. Just like the series, the animation was fantastic. It was also really nice to see the past of Kyoko who we've only seen snippets of in flashbacks. It could a...

Media Name: Uncharted Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2022 Director:  Ruben Fleischer Production Companies: Columbia Pictures, Playstation Productions, Atlas Entertainment, A2 Productions Distributor: Sony Pictures Releasing Runtime: 1 hour 56 minutes Finished Watching: 8th October 2022 My Rating: 7/10 I've only played a tiny bit of the first game but despite that the Uncharted movie peaked my interest. I'd have to say, I enjoyed it. The acting in the movie was good. I found some of the jokes to be quite funny. The action was well-done and entertaining to watch. The VFX were also really good. Some of the problems were that the green screen wasn't very well done and was quite oftenly noticeable. Another issue was that there were some times at which it was quite confusing as to what was happening. I also felt that, while I think that he is a really good actor, Tom Holland was not a very good fit for the role of Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg would have actually been a better ...

Media Name: The Devil is a Part-Timer!! Media Type: TV Series Season: 2 Episode Count 12 Release Year: 2022 Series Director:  Daisuke Tsukushi Production Company: 3Hz English Network: Crunchyroll Finished Watching: 2nd October 2022 My Rating: 3/10 I originally watched the first season in 2021 and really enjoyed it but since at the time it had been 8 years without a second season, I didn't expect one to happen but to my surprise it did. When I watched it, I was extremely disappointed. this season was made by a different studio so the animation was nowhere near as good. I felt like there were too many generic slice of life plotlines that were extremely boring. They literally just felt like filler that added nothing to the story. I really didn't get why they got rid of MgRonald's in this season when it's basically the whole point of the show. The first season didn't focus entirely on MgRonald's but what they did with it was more interesting than the beach bar and f...

Media Name: Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head Media Type: TV Series Season: 9 Episode Count 23 Release Year: 2022 Creator: Mike Judge Production Companies: 3 Arts Entertainment, Judgemental Films, Titmouse Inc, MTV Entertainment Studios Original Network: Paramount+ Finished Watching: 21st October 2022 My Rating: 8/10 Before watching this season I hadn't really seen that much of Beavis and Butt-Head besides the two movies and random clips on YouTube but I decided to watch it anyway and I loved it. I found it to be extremely funny and there was rarely a joke that didn't land. The characters were all great with even the ones outside of the main duo bouncing off of them really well. I loved how they used the Old Beavis and Butt-Head segments for some of the plot points which wouldn't work with the younger versions. The animation also looked good. I'd have to say that my favourite segments had to be 'Two Stupid Men', 'Nice Butt-Head' and 'Boxed In...

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...
