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

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.

Film Review: Signs
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.

Anime ● Review: Terminator Zero
Good production. Mostly well-paced story in the spirit of the first two films even if it has a few problems. Dark and gloomy.

Classic mecha anime. Excellent visuals and sound. Focuses on characters and their relationships.

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.

Drama ● Review: The Acolyte
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.

Interesting enough premise. Excellent production. Can delve deeper into the themes, but plot and characters are sufficiently captivating.
