Anime ● Review: Terminator Zero
Good production. Mostly well-paced story in the spirit of the first two films even if it has a few problems. Dark and gloomy.

Anime Review: The Grimm Variations
Not a bad effort but nothing special. Could have used other fairy tales since there are over 200 to choose from.

Some consider it a modern classic. Interesting premise. Clumsy plotting. Cheesy and tries too hard with its gratuitous nudity and violence.

Fantasy coming-of-age drama set in a town that is stuck in time. Unfocused and under-developed. But looks very good. Worth viewing.

Animation Review: Pokémon Concierge
Well-managed storytelling despite somewhat wishy-washy themes. Ultimately, it’s about the wonderful stop-motion animation.
