Comics Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin II
Nicely produced with execellent art. The story is not bad even if it is more of the same: the Foot it gone but there are rival gangs, corrupt government and police, and a new player our heroes have to deal with.

Anime Review: Macross Zero
As a prequel, it is different but is fitting enough to the Macross universe. Nice designs and is one of the earlier anime works to use extensive CG. It can look better but decent effort.

Film Review: Rental Family
Struggling actor role-plays for a rental family company. Positive but not too lighthearted. Solid performances and measured pacing. Amusing and entertaining.

Anime ● Review: MF Ghost 3rd Season
Continuation of the same strengths and weaknesses. Visually slick and well-produced. Insufficient character development and depth when there is the opportunity to do so.

Anime Review: Macross 7
Macross 7 has one of the most annoying main characters ever. And this is not helped by the poor pacing, dated visuals and the same song being used over and over again. The ideas are mostly good but at 49 episodes, it simply drags. If nothing else, some of these ideas set up the premise for subsequent series.

Film Review: The Great Flood
Well-produced with solid performances but it is basically a sci-fi AI premise housed in a natural disaster setting. Difficult to buy into it.

Anime ● Review: Watari-kun’s ****** Is About to Collapse
Nothing interesting despite the premise. Looks good enough but it just drags on and on. It’s just 26 tiresome episodes of a guy who is unable to be decisive, allowing things to be more complicated than they need to be.

K-drama Review: As You Stood By
Starts a bit slow and the villains are too simplistic. Conclusion is too rushed but is overall not a bad thriller-drama with some effective tension.

Film Review: Logan’s Run
Not bad sci-fi dystopian film based on the novel. The pacing suffers in the final act but it is an interesting premise. Looks good, nice set designs.

J-drama Review: Miss King
A young woman wants revenge against her father via shogi. Characters lack complexity and some things are resolved too quickly, but it is well-produced with strongly established lead characters and the series is tight.

J-drama Review: Alice in Borderland III
Very contrived way to get Arisu and Usagi back to Borderland. Well-produced but is more like an afterthought featuring material that should have been done in the first place.

K-drama Review: When the Phone Rings
Stereotypical cold male lead and soft female lead. Intriguing premise but the plotting and pacing need to be better. Relies too much on Chae Soo-bin to carry the show.
