I can appreciate both versions but the US office definitely has a "comfort food" factor that the UK one doesn't (it's not supposed to, of course).

True enough ... Steve Carell is very watchable of course

Man about the House, Robin's Nest and George and Mildred. That's a trilogy of shows to come out of Man about the house.

He makes the show really - I still like the final seasons but it definitely loses something without Michael Scott... and I think the only reason the final seasons are still enjoyable is because you've gotten to know the other characters by that point so you're invested.

i prefer the US version. It has everything

I've been watching an Anime called Monster over the last few days, I've watched about 20 episodes if I'm not mistaken.

Wikipedia lists it's genres as Crime, Mystery & Psychological Thriller, so like with any piece of fiction I'm going in with the mindset of what the series is selling itself as, and that's it'll be an atmospheric ride with a psychological bent to it, and considering what Monster's story is meant to be about I was also expecting a cat & mouse game like you get in Shows like Dexter, Death Note & Psycho-Pass.

Instead these were some of the episodes that I experienced instead.

1. A Pasta eating/Coffee drinking episode.

2. An episode where Tenma trains and eats a meal with a little girl and her adoptive Father.

3. An episode where Tenma puts fuel in a Car for this random old couple that we've never seen before.

4. An episode where Tenma's ex is having an affair with a Gardener.

5. Hospital Drama episodes (yes as in plural) multiple episodes of this ****.

And look I know that Monster is one of the most critically acclaimed Anime's ever made, and I'm willing to bet that if I had patience of a saint that I would probably see the good in the Show too.

I really don't like being an asshole about TV Shows (especially when a lot of people that I know enjoy it) but it's selling itself as one type of Show and then being something totally different in execution which I really can't stand it when Shows do that.

Loving the new series on Sky Atlantic

The King


The King sees Luca Zingaretti in the role of the controversial prison boss Bruno Testori, who rules the San Michele penitentiary with his own special set of laws. Whilst Testori’s life outside the prison may have gone wrong, inside San Michele he dominates as ‘The King’. Ruthless with those who deserve it and unexpectedly compassionate with others, Testori always follows the principles of his own distorted and obscure morals. When the kingdom risks crumbling, threatened by imminent danger, Bruno will have to fight the most difficult of wars.

Me and my daughter threw on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt last Friday night because we were both tired and wanted some easy watching and something short to watch 1 episode of, ended up watching about 6 of them and going to bed at 1:30am. I love this show

Oh god I saw an incredible argument to do with the Manga of this overrated mess.

Basically someone on MAL was calling out how overrated Monster is within the AniManga industry, and one of the things they pulled up was no depth in the characters (which is true in the 20 episodes that I watched) and the Monster fans came up with the worst defence that I've ever seen for a programme (trust me that is some achievement) the Monster fans tried to mock this person for liking Inosuke from Demon Slayer because he has "no depth" which tbf is true, but there's a few differences here that these idiots fail to understand.

1. Inosuke isn't the lead of Demon Slayer, or even one of the main three leads of Demon Slayer in terms of plot importance. So to compare his depth of writing to Tenma & Johan is extremely harsh.

2. Inosuke is deliberately designed to be comic relief along with Zenitsu, where as Tenma & Johan are meant to have more depth than one trait, which in Tenma's case isn't coming through at all as his just "a nice guy."

3. Demon Slayer is a Battle Shounen aimed for younger audiences, where as Monster is meant to be an adult story with Psychological Thriller components similar to Death Note, the fact that these idiots (I'm sorry for being rude but it's how I see them) are comparing the depth of writing on their series to a Battle Shounen series just shows that Monster isn't really cutting it in it's own field.

I'm sorry for the rant btw, but some of these Monster fans are really elitist, and I say that as someone that's apart of the Berserk fandom.

I'm watching the old Devil May Cry Anime made by Madhouse Studios.

I've only seen two episodes so far, but I like it.

Already in two episodes Dante has shown more personality than Thorfinn did in 24 episodes of Vinland Saga.

But yeah it's fun so far, it's like a blend of the DMC Games (like they should be tbf) the Berserk/Claymore style & a tinge of Angel.

I also really enjoy the fact that they're giving Dante interests as some Animes aren't as good at doing that type of thing.

What went wrong in your opinion?

I'm currently watching Bleach at the moment, although I haven't got to the Soul Society arc yet which I know is meant to be a big deal for the Anime.

It's okay at the moment, although Orihime is atrocious.

Oh and I tried to give Akudama Drive a chance, but it's plot looked like it was gonna be very wafer thin, don't get me wrong characters like Cutthroat & Doctor were fun to watch, but the story needed more depth imo.

And Live Action I'm watching Season 13 of NCIS: Los Angeles, it's never the best written Show out there, but it's fun enough.

[ThomasC]

Just finished Blood Sisters on Netflix.

Enjoyed it. Only 4 episodes, limited series.

About to start ?quien mayo a Sara

I just think that the storylines in Frayed just got too silly ...

That's fair enough.

I think unfortunately there's a lot of Shows that end up falling into that trap, it's why personally speaking I find it so hard to get into a lot of Shows.

I also really enjoy the fact that they're giving Dante interests as some Animes aren't as good at doing that type of thing.

I'm going to IMDB style my scores for each individual episode of DMC, just to express my enjoyment of the Anime.

Episode 1 - 8.1/10
Episode 2 - 8.1/10
Episode 3 - 4.8/10
Episode 4 - 8.6/10
Episode 5 - 8.0/10
Episode 6 - 8.0/10
Episode 7 - 8.4/10
Episode 8 - 7.8/10
Episode 9 - 8.1/10
Episode 10 - 8.5/10
Episode 11 - 8.7/10
Episode 12 - 8.8/10

With the exception of episode 3 I honestly found the Show to be really enjoyable, don't get me wrong there are better Shows out there, but I'm someone that really likes Dark Fantasy so I really enjoyed it personally, plus Dante is a really good lead imo.

Now onto Gurren Lagann, 10 episodes in I'm feeling really unsure about the Anime, especially the last three episodes that I've watched, but I'm gonna give it a few more episodes as I do normally like Mecha Shows, and I know that some people see something in this series, so I want to see if it's a late bloomer for me.

Tbf I do like certain aspects of the Show, but I really don't like other aspects.

Anyway.

Episode 1 - 4.8/10
Episode 2 - 5.3/10
Episode 3 - 7.4/10
Episode 4 - 4.2/10
Episode 5 - 6.6/10
Episode 6 - 6.8/10
Episode 7 - 7.7/10
Episode 8 - 3.2/10
Episode 9 - 2.6/10
Episode 10 - 2.4/10

Tbf it is a 27 episode Season, so maybe it'll get better, or I'm being a harsh bastard.

Either way I personally feel like the Anime killed off It's best character in episode 8 (without saying who) and I'm really not keen on their replacement so far, but that might change.
