    One of the series I mentioned wanting to watch in myĀ fall 2016 anime post was Occultic Nine ā€” Ā it finally launched and I got to watch the first episode. What I wrote then pretty much stands. The one aspect of the show that really turns me off is the inclusion of a character with ridiculously…

    Iā€™ve only watched the first episode so far of this new season (produced for Netflix), and man, it certainly didnā€™t pull any punches. Felt like a proper horror story for the entire thing, and it never looked like it was going to let up. But that ending was pretty satisfying. Canā€™t wait to watch the…

    Sure, I was already pretty excited to check out Westworld, based on the trailers Iā€™d seen, but Iā€™m definitely happy that after watching the first 2 episodes, itā€™s even better than I was hoping. Absolutely loving the creepiness of it all, as well as the mystery as to what exactly is going on with theĀ ā€œhosts,ā€…

    Iā€™m only 5 episodes in (just started watching the 6th one), and I gotta say that so far Iā€™m enjoying this show way more than the other Netflix Marvel series, except maybe for the first season of Daredevil. I really didnā€™t like Jessica Jones, and so that already made me feel less than excited about…

  • Scream Queens

    They just recently added the first season to Netflix, and so I figured Iā€™d give it a try – I did quite enjoy Glee back in the day (didnā€™t watch the final season though), and quite liked the first season of American Horror Story (both of these Ryan Murphy creations, and heā€™s also behind Scream…

    Yasuharu Konishi has produced a lot of music for TV shows since the days of Pizzicato Five, and the latest soundtrack to get released with his music is for the drama Debusen, that runs on Hulu in Japan. I was listening to samples — which you can do on the CD Japan shop page —…

    Iā€™d heard good things about this show, but hadnā€™t really bothered to check it out until now, since I noticed that it had popped up on Netflix. I watched the first few episodes of season 1 earlier today, and wow, Iā€™m absolutely in love with it. Itā€™s just way more crazy than I was expecting,…

    I just watched a fantastic collection of animated shorts called Ani-Kuri 15. Produced for NHK back in 2007-2008, it’s comprised of 15 1-minute shorts each directed by some of the top names in the animation field, including Kon Satoshi (pictured), Mamoru Oshii, and Makoto Shinkai (in fact, it’s while searching for works by Shinkai that…

    The last of Makoto Shinkaiā€™s works Iā€™ve watched so far is this 25-minute OVA, which tells an interesting story of two young lovers separated by a war in the galaxy, and how the light years of distance between them affects the way they can communicate. You can tell itā€™s an earlier work, as it doesnā€™t…

    After watching Makoto Shinkaiā€™s 5 Centimeters Per Second film, I followed it up with this 6-minute short. Like with 5 Centimeters, it incorporates a hyper-real world, beautiful scenery and colors, all in a fun little near-future tale of a woman dealing with growing up and the relationship she maintains with her father. I recommend watching…
