Anime Film Review: Wicked City
Looks impressive as a noir action-fantasy thriller. But it tries too hard to be edgy with all the sex and violence and comes across as a bit too cheese.

Manga ● Review: Before Demon Slayer by Gotouge Koyoharu
Gotouge’s early work is intriguing. As expected, the art is not as refined but the storytelling is generally not bad.

K-drama ● Review: Sweet Home 3
Tries too hard with the action and gore, but an acceptable conclusion. Overall, meh.

K-drama ● Review: Parasyte: The Grey
Solid writing, performances and production. Tight plotting. Surprisingly good, even if one doesn’t like the genre.

Film ● Mini-Review: Shadow in the Cloud
Opening tries too hard. Unnecessarily feminist when a good actress is playing the lead role. Silly but surprisingly entertaining.

Anime ● Review: SYNDUALITY Noir – Part 2
Like Part 1, decent voice acting and production. More focused storytelling but signposting is a little clumsy. Still mildly enjoyable.

Anime ● Review: The Big O
Mecha-noir set in a domed city. Interesting premise but too ambitious. Somewhat unfocused and themes insufficiently explored.

Film Review: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
Another simple monster-fest as expected. Kong needs to take out a titan with Godzilla’s help who goes around collecting power-ups.

Film Review: The Mist
Not intensely horrifying but enough tension to be captivating, mostly set in one location. Good cinematography, performances and pacing.

Manga ● Review: Demon Slayer by Gotouge Koyoharu
Simple premise and structure. Tanjiro’s family is slaughtered by a demon so he fights them, basically a “gauntlet run” to the demon boss.
