Anime Review: No. 6
Intriguing utopian-dystopian premise and setting in which the boy has to leave the utopian city and go underground. Well-produced but the plot lacks substance and is somewhat bland.

Animation Review: Love, Death + Robots (Volume 2)
Mostly looks good. Doesn’t try as hard as Volume 1, which is a good thing, but nothing special.

K-drama ● Review: Hellbound Season 2
Plot-driven, focused on human and material aspects with the supernatural taking a backseat. Entertaining and, intended or not, even comical.

Anime ● Review: Megazone 23 Part I & Part II
Some consider it a modern classic. Interesting premise. Clumsy plotting. Cheesy and tries too hard with its gratuitous nudity and violence.

Film ● Review: Jung_E
It is not a poorly made film but it is unfocused in both its themes and tone as ideas are just thrown out there but not elaborated on.

K-drama ● Review: Black Knight
Post-apocalyptic dystopia with truck-driving delivery man hero. Not bad in any respect. Mostly tight at 6 episodes. Can use more wow factor.

Film Review: The Running Man
Police state. Labor camps. Fake news. Scripted reality-shows. Heavy surveillance. Brainwashed population.

K-drama ● Review: Hellbound
A supernatural force kills people whilst religious fanatics take advantage. Tries too hard, but well-paced with some dramatic suspense.

Set in 2022. Food supply problems. Climate issues. Government handouts. And a corporation that controls it all. Seem familiar?
