Legend of the Galactic Heroes (1988–1997)

One of the greatest tales out there.

[10/10 · 3 January 2023]

Legend of the galactic heroes (LOGH) is a massive space drama that is being set in a small section of space. This anime is almost unmatched in any media, there is not many shows that have these many locations, characters, topics, side plots and intricately strategic battles and have all of them written not only well, but exceptionally.

It is a sprawling epic with many dynamic and interesting characters that have their own philosophy and thoughts on extremely complex topics, and they represent the many facets of these topics without presenting one inherently above the other and instead showing the natural progression of certain philosophies and belief and what they would lead to.

I won't mince words here, forget star ratings and all the 9.3213/10 or whatever ratings you see here. It isn't possible to convey thoughts on a topic/show/movie with a simple rating, what I can tell you is that you should do yourself a favor, if you have any interest in politically dense, philosophical, and detailed world then give this anime a shot, there is almost nothing like it.

Justice League Unlimited (2004–2006)

The justice league at it's best!

[10/10 · 8 May 2018]

This review is actually for both Justice League and Justice League Unlimited because to me Unlimited felt more of a continuation than a reboot.

To start off this is probably the best place to see how the justice league should be like,not the movies, and while comics are great, this is still a cut above most of the justice league comics.

There is not a single episode that I would call bad, in fact all of them are good to great with some being one of the best episodes I have ever watched, and what really sells it is the characters, and not just the main seven who have some of the best character development around, but even side characters like the Question, Green Arrow, and Huntress to name a few, all get fleshed out quite well that you can't help but love them.

The art is not much to write about, but it gets the job done and when things start running the animation usually keeps up with some great scenes animated in there that help complement the well written story.

The story is where this show shines, I mean holy hell do they know how to write good episodes with some even deserving awards, they connect seemingly unconnected episodes to each other bringing the whole thing together as a package (this happens mostly in Unlimited) nicely tying it all up into something special, but that isn't everything, what really made me love this show as fan of comics and superheroes, is the way they pay respect to the comics, it is clear that the writers, voice actors, animators, sound designers and anyone who worked on this show love the comics and they show that love with great pride, and that more than anything is what, at least to me, makes a show something to write home about.

House of 1000 Corpses (2003)

What is this movie?

[2/10 · 30 March 2018]

The thing about this movie is that other than it being hilarious to watch, I have no idea what it is actually about; I mean you would think that doctor Satan who was built up at the start would be the main antagonist, but instead it's some random family who likes killing, then you would think that when doctor Satan, the big bad, the legend finally shows up he would be the main villain, but then he dies from falling debris..... yeah, this movie is just classic good bad movie, or maybe it is good, I can't tell. Either way, I think there is merit to this movie, and you can completely ignore my star rating, in the end those don't give a complete picture of the kind of experience you might receive from this movie.
