Anime ● Review: Megazone 23 Part I & Part II
Some consider it a modern classic. Interesting premise. Clumsy plotting. Cheesy and tries too hard with its gratuitous nudity and violence.

Anime ● Review: Black Rock Shooter: Dawn Fall
Cool warrior girl and humans versus evil AI. Nothing particularly good. No few problems but strangely not a complete waste of time.

Film ● Review: Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver
The heroes play farmer in the first half, then get into a shootout with imperial forces in the second. Cheesy and clumsy like Part One.

Animation ● Review: Star Wars – The Clone Wars
Basically an Ahsoka spin-off. Don’t expect too much. Do expect some cheese. Writing improves as the series progresses. Sufficiently amusing.

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.

Nothing particularly bad, but nothing particularly memorable either.

Film ● Review: Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire
A rebel’s cheesy recruitment drive against evil imperial forces. Not totally cringe but only because I don’t expect much from Hack Snyder.

Anime ● Review: SYNDUALITY Noir – Part 1
Typical sci-fi premise and setting. Decent voice acting and production. But plot is derivative. Nothing spectacular, mildly enjoyable.

Film ● Review: Jung_E
It is not a poorly made film but it is unfocused in both its themes and tone as ideas are just thrown out there but not elaborated on.

Animation Review: Star Wars – Tales of the Jedi
Decent production. More for fans of Dooku and Ahsoka, although Dooku’s fall to the dark side is handled well.

Drama ● Review: Ahsoka
Moderately enjoyable despite clumsy plotting. Good performances and would be better if the cast is given more to work with.

Anime ● Review: Gamera Rebirth
Short and tight series. A little unfocused at first, somewhat children-orientated but also too dark for it to be. Still, mostly satisfying.

Anime ● Review: Godzilla Singular Point
Original take. Basically a sci-fi mystery, which is fine in itself except it drags. Serious lack of Godzilla action. Wasted opportunity.

Anime Films ● Review: Godzilla Trilogy
A somewhat ambitious take in terms of scale and its attempt to be original and true to the franchise. Can be tighter but not bad.

Comics Review: Alien – Icarus
Set 15 years after Revival, a team of synths attempts to retrieve an Alien sample. Lacks the more refined execution of the previous volumes.

Anime Films ● Review: To Me, the One Who Loved You & To Every You I’ve Loved Before
Love story with parallel universes told in two films. Good production. Pacing is mostly good but a little clumsy at times. Worth viewing.

K-drama ● Review: Black Knight
Post-apocalyptic dystopia with truck-driving delivery man hero. Not bad in any respect. Mostly tight at 6 episodes. Can use more wow factor.

Animation Review: Star Wars – Visions 2
Season 2 broadens to styles other than anime. Arguably worse than Season 1 in terms of storytelling. Nonetheless, a few are recommended.
