I've watched two Animes over the last couple of weeks, I've been busy so have slowed down how much I've been watching.:laugh:

Mononoke - Like Bastard!! Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy, it is on Netflix to watch.

Now onto the quality of Mononoke, if you're into extremely strange Supernatural Horror fiction with an Historical bent, then you'll be away with this Anime, my favourite arc in particular was the one where

It won't be a universal Anime, but I personally really enjoyed it.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners - Just to be clear I've never played the Game, so I have no bias for or against the Cyberpunk franchise.

It is also on Netflix for anyone that's interested.

Now quality wise I'll start with the pro's of the Anime.

Pros:
Good Music, in particular the OP from Franz Ferdinand, but the Music in general was good, so fair play to them on that.

An interesting looking world, it's well designed, I could imagine that it would make for a good City to explore in the Video Game.

The characters were okay, nothing special, but they weren't abysmal.

Episode 3 was a fun stand alone episode imo.

Cons:
Tbh there was only really real issue that I had with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, but it was big enough to make me drop the Show after 4 episodes because I weren't going to waste my time, and that's the fact that the story was barely existent, there's a 10 episode Season and to me it felt like the first two episodes were mostly filler with one major event happening in the pilot, but the rest of the episode was filler, episode 2 was filler for the most part away from the introduction of the leading lady (which admittedly stops it from being complete filler) but nothing else really happens away from that.

Episode 3 was a good stand alone episode tbf with a fun team effort to infiltrate the bad guys type of stuff.

And episode 4 tbf was better than episodes 1 & 2, but I'm not really much of a shipper, so it wasn't really for me.

Tbf to the Anime I have watched much worse in Anime and Live Action, but it was like watching a 5/10 Anime for me, and life is too short to be watching such average content in my view.

Play the game mock :omgno: Whilst not essential I think it helps somewhat with appreciating the show more just because you already have an attachment and understanding of the world it's set in. Although it's kind of crazy that a big part of the games second lease of life came from this anime, between that and CD Projekt Red actually fixing the bugs and not just abandoning it like most game developers would these days.

60 Days in Jail !!

Fabulous documentary series

Oh I will play the Game eventually.

It's fitting it in between other stuff that I'm doing, but I will definitely get around to it.

And you have a fair point, I mean I didn't hate the Anime anyway, I just didn't have a strong reason to finish the season.

Oh and I'm watching Season 1 of Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

I would say it's a really good Anime, imo not as good as the first Season of Psycho-Pass out of the Futuristic Sci-Fi Animes, but I am still really enjoying the Show.

I think that my two favourite characters are the Major and Batou.

…none atm but I recently watched The Lost Flowers of Alice Heart and it was excellent… a difficult storyline to watch but very much recommended…

The Daryl Walking Dead spin off is really good, the Maggie/Negan one not so much

i've been watching Invasion on Apple TV which has been excellent

Binging Schitt's Creek for the first time. Loving it.

I adore that show, when I finished it the first time I just started it again from the beginning [emoji28] I've watched it fully 4 times now

Just finished watching Wellmania

Such a show. :love:

I could definitely see myself having it on in the background instead of friends

I don't know why but I avoided it for years. Moira Rose is life though.

1923

( so was 1883 ! )

I loved Friends but Schitts Creek is better.

Moira and Alexis are my favourites, I love them all though besides Mutt

Watching the Jimmy Saville programme. Distressing but superbly acted by Steve Coogan.

if anyone has access to paramount+, i highly recommend Rabbit Hole

Who is Erin Harper on Netflix - really good, it has you on the edge of your seat the whole way

…I just started to watch All the Light We Cannot See, yesterday evening…I’m only into the 2nd episode but so far…very gripping and great cast…Aria Mia Loberti is delightful and I’m a huge Mark Ruffalo fan….

Watching Season 8 of fear the walking Dead atm, this season is really good, best one in ages

Watching nothing other than Big Brother
