Anime Film ● Review: Lily C.A.T.
Can be more intense but it is short and looks good enough. An Alien rip-off but it is still a classic that is amusing and entertaining.

The New World Order by H.G. Wells
Whilst the author makes some correct (enough) criticisms of the world, the text is ultimately more self-indulgent, vague materialist-socialist/communist drivel like his other works.

Lamentabili Sane by Pope Pius X
Pope Pius X (b. 2 June 1835 – d. 20 August 1914), born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, began his pontificate on 4 August 1903. He is known for opposing modernist thought and as a bishop proposed a new catechism for laymen in 1880. The decree “Lamentabili Sane: Condemning the Errors of the Modernists” was published on 3 July 1907 by the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office at the command of Pope Pius X. This is not to be confused for the famous “Syllabus of Errors” issued in 1864

Not as strong as the first season. Pacing can be better but overall a moderately entertaining follow-up.

K-drama Review: The East Palace
Intriguing enough premise but the plotting is a little clumsy. But still, solid performances and excellent production. In any case, it’s short so it is over quickly.

Anime Film Review: Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker
Mostly a waste of time unless one loves the video games or genre, or for the sake of studying. Annoying lead character.

J-drama ● Review: Human Vapor
Moderately intriguing mystery-thriller. Nicely shot and edited. Nothing outstanding but that is not a bad thing as it does what it needs without drawing excessive attention.

Anime Review: The Eminence in Shadow
Amusing main character who has delusions of grandeur and wants to play hero. But he is actually very capable and what he thinks is a fictional cult is real. Moderately intriguing and entertaining comedy that mildly parodies the fantasy genre.

Anime ● Review: Cyber City Oedo 808
Classic cyberpunk. The plot and characters are engaging enough, and the visuals are awesome. It deserves at least eight episodes rather than just three.

Film Review: Gladiator II
Follows the same template as the first film, which is fine in itself. It’s not bad but it is nothing special, so it comes across as an unnecessary sequel.

Film ● Review: Mickey 17
Good production. Looks good. Amusing. But the satire is not clever enough and for a black comedy, it is not black enough.
