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.

Classic sci-fi military mecha anime. Good worldbuilding and decent pacing for its time. Entertaining even if it is a merchandising tool.

Attempts to be in the spirit of the original. It does have the look and feel. Not brilliant but still moderately engaging and entertaining.

Decent and entertaining mild sci-fi horror. Despite whatever weaknesses, it is measured and consistent in most respects.

K-drama ● Review: Grid
Attempts to be a sci-fi mystery-thriller trying to catch a time-traveller. Not a bad idea but pacing could be better and not enough closure.

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: 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.

Clumsy plotting. Too many cringe moments. Jedi Master Squid Game carries the show.

Film Review: Captive State
Crude sci-fi depiction of current state of affairs. Not subtle. Clumsy structure (in a way) but maintains tension. Moderately interesting.

Drama Review: Secret Invasion
Not bad but could go further with the paranoia and suspense. Think of it as a version of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
