More of the same, which is fine in itself, but the emotional resonance for the main characters and their relationships is insufficient.

Plotting can be better, but decent “girls with guns” action with genuinely lovable main characters.

It has a premise that is challenging for any writer, it has worthy themes, and it has some depth and emotional resonance without trying too hard.

Looks great but two of the main characters are annoying and the plot lacks substance.

Interesting enough premise but clumsy plotting. Visually cheap. It may work in a game but not so much as a 12-episode series.

So far, worldbuilding and plotting can be better but there is some intrigue.

Well-paced and maintains the intrigue and tension throughout.

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.

Decent sequel. Plot can be more complex, but solid production and visually excellent.

Decent story, structurally sound despite a few plot conveniences. Visually too inconsistent. But overall, still enjoyable.

Mostly a waste of time unless one loves the video games or genre, or for the sake of studying. Annoying lead character.

Long-awaited sequel. Decent film in every respect. Plot progression can be better, but just grateful it’s here.

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.

Classic cyberpunk. The plot and characters are engaging enough, and the visuals are awesome. It deserves at least eight episodes rather than just three.

Not bad. Good production with a solid soundtrack. Generally looks good. It is a series that I want to like more but the plotting needs to be more refined.

Slice-of-life series of the friendship between a salaryman and a supermarket employee. Visually slick. Amusing.

Visually brilliant and great worldbuilding. The plotting can be better but it’s still worthy of viewing.

Excellent series true to the franchise. Solid visuals and music. Decent pacing and emotional resonance.

Action-based sequel. Generally looks and sounds good. Nice to see the characters again but as a sequel, the story lacks substance.

Dark steampunk zombie. Great worldbuilding, visuals and soundtrack. Decent pacing but too many plot conveniences.

In a world where magical abilities are the norm, a non-magical guy uses his supreme physical strength. Action-packed. Simple and crude mild parody. Still enjoyable.
