Anime Review: Blade Runner – Black Lotus
Attempts to be in the spirit of the original. It does have the look and feel. Not brilliant but still moderately engaging and entertaining.

Manga Review: Appleseed by Shirow Masamune
Interesting 22nd-century sci-fi police/anti-terrorist action that touches on many themes even if it doesn’t explore them in depth.

K-drama ● Review: The Frog
Moderately intriguing. Pacing can be better but no big deal. Nicely edited. Amusing score. Go Min-si is flipping nuts. But in a good way.

K-drama ● Review: Goodbye Earth
Opening is a bit muddled but settles into a grim slice-of-life “try to leave out our final days in peace” drama. Ending is bad and cheap.

Film Review: Lumberjack the Monster
Mystery with elements of a horror-thriller framed in a fairy tale–like story. Nothing bad. Just flat. Plotting and themes are a bit clumsy.
