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: One Piece Media Type: TV Series Season: 1 Episode Count 61 Release Year: 1999-2001 Series Director:  Kōnosuke Uda Production Company: Toei Animation English Networks: Crunchyroll, FoxBox, Toonami Finished Watching: 20th November 2022 My Rating: 9/10 This was the first season of One Piece that I watched and I would have to say that it was a strong introduction. I really liked the animation, especially within the fight scenes. The writing was also really good throughout each arc. The music is also great. I would have to say that the arc that I enjoyed the most was the Arlong Park Arc which had some of the best scenes out of this entire season. I really like the characters as well, especially Usopp. Basically the only problems that I didn't really like the start of the Syrup Village Arc since I don't really like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" stories (though I think that it improved as it went on). There were also some times where Sanji (despite being really cool ...

Media Name:  One Piece: Clockwork Island Adventure Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2001 Director:  Junji Shimizu Production Compaies:  Toei Animation English Distributor: Manga Entertainment Runtime: 55 minutes Finished Watching: 29th November 2022 My Rating: 7/10 Given that the first One Piece movie was not the best in terms of writing, I lowered my expectations for this one. I'd have to say that I enjoyed this one slightly more than the first movie though. The animation was really good though not as good as the first movie. The new characters were a lot more interesting in this movie. The fight scenes were also really well done.  Quite a few of the jokes also were quite funny. Some of the problems were however that at times it could feel like a generic filler plot. I also didn't really like the ending that much either. Overall, while this was an improvement from the first one, it still was far from a great movie.

Media Name:  One Piece: Adventure in the Ocean's Navel Media Type: TV Special Series: One Piece Release Year: 2000 Special Director:  Yukio Kaizawa Production Company:  Toei Animation English Network:  N/A Runtime: 49 Minutes Finished Watching: 28th November 2022 My Rating: 4/10 Given that this was the first TV special from One Piece , I was looking forward to it to see what Toei could do with an extended episode. I would have to say that I was disappointed. The plot was really not interesting with it feeling quite generic, same with the new characters who feel exactly like some of the other new characters from filler episodes. The ending was also quit underwhelming as well. The animation was nowhere near as good as in the show and could feel at times like a PowerPoint presentation. I did find some of the jokes to be funny though along with the character writing for the Straw Hats. Overall, I didn't like this special and I found it to be quite disappointing.

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: One Piece: The Movie Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2000 Director:  Junji Shimizu Production Compaies:  Toei Animation,  Fuji Television,  Shueisha,  Toei Company English Distributor: Manga Entertainment Runtime: 51 minutes Finished Watching: 24th November 2022 My Rating: 6.5/10 This was the first of the One Piece movies which I had to watch so I was looking forward to seeing what Toei could do with a movie based on the series. I'd have to say that this was good but not really the best. I was surprised by how short this movie was given that it is actually less than an hour long. I really liked the animation in this and found it to be really entertaining to watch. The characters were also as well-written as in the main show itself. The action was really good though. I'd have to say that the short runtime really held it back especially since it took around 20 minutes for the plot to progress. The main villain felt like an average villain and actuall...

Media Name:  One Piece: Defeat Him! The Great Pirate Ganzack! Media Type: OVA Release Year: 1998 Director:  Gorō Taniguchi Production Companies: Production I.G. English Distributor: N/A Runtime: 30 minutes Finished Watching: 22nd November 2022 My Rating: 7.5/10 Well, I finally started One Piece and along with the main show itself, I decided to watch all of the movies, TV specials and OVAs, including this one. To say that this was the first anime adaptation of One Piece and it wasn't even done by Toei Animation who made the main show, this was really good. The animation was really great and the cel animation looked good. The music was also nice to listen to. I liked the action. The characters were also really well-written. That being said, it wasn't perfect as I didn't find either the storyline or the villain to be that interesting. Other than those flaws, this was a fun OVA to watch and for a first adaptation, this was really good and goes to show how Production I.G . wou...

Media Name: Bokurano Media Type: TV Series Season: 1 Episode Count 24 Release Year: 2007 Series Directors:  Hiroyuki Morita,  Kazuyoshi Yaginuma Production Company:  Gonzo English Network: N/A (Direct-To-DVD) Finished Watching: 13th November 2022 My Rating: 8/10 Going into this, I didn't really know what to expect as I found out about it through the opening being included in  Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga . Plus the fact that the show is relatively obscure didn't help that much either. Nonetheless, I decided to give it a try. I thought it was really good. I liked the psychological element. I felt like the fight scenes were really fun to watch. I also liked the writing in the show and most of the characters. The animation was pretty decent as well. I found some of the characters to be somewhat annoying or just unlikeable however and the pacing was really slow though I understand that it needed that to establish each character. I also think that it sucks that the ending is...

Media Name: Wonder Egg Priority Media Type: TV Series Season: 1 Episode Count 12 + Special Release Year: 2021 Series Director:  Shin Wakabayashi Production Company:  CloverWorks English Networks:  Crunchyroll Finished Watching: 30th October 2022 My Rating: 8/10 I've heard a lot of mixed things about Wonder Egg Priority so going into it I was unsure as to whether I'd like it or not but I really enjoyed it. I thought the characters were all great and worked well with each other. Some of the darker themes of the show were touched upon really well. The animation was also really good and reminded me of Studio Trigger at times. I also really liked the music, especially the OP. The Trans representation was also really well done. It sucked that the show had two recaps (both of which I skipped). I also felt that the finale special was terrible at wrapping everything up. If it was a cliff-hanger leading into a second season, I would consider it to be a decent episode but it does no...

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: To Your Eternity Media Type: TV Series Season: 1 Episode Count 20 Release Year: 2021 Series Director:  Masahiko Murata Production Company: Brain's Base English Networks: Crunchyroll Finished Watching: 19th October 2022 My Rating: 8.5/10 I watched the first season of To Your Eternity when it was first airing in spring and summer of 2021 and I'd have to say that I found it to be really enjoyable so when it got close to the start of the second season, I decided to rewatch the first in preparation. I really enjoyed it though not as much as on my first viewing. The best part of this show was the emotional aspect with the deaths of each character being really heart-breaking. The show had some great action scenes paired with really good animation. The characters were all well-written which made any death scenes more impactful. The music was really good with Pink Blood being an especially good song. Some of the problems with the show was that at times it could be quite slo...

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: 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...
