Anime Review: Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance
Mecha design and action generally look great. Decent pacing. That’s about it. Cardboard characters made worse with Netflix being woke.

Anime ● Review: Puraore! Pride of Orange
Lack of hockey action or any appreciation for it. Doesn’t work as a slice-of-life anime either. Lost opportunity.

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.

Solid coming-of-age, slice-of-life romance. Can argue about plotting and pacing but it is emotionally realistic.

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.

Nothing special, the premise is maybe a little forced, but still a decent side story.
