I went to see this thinking it might be a laugh but without very high expectations. I got my socks knocked off. It was HILARIOUS. The humour was fantastic, and I thought the plot was actually really well thought out. There were also lots of excellent tributes to the original scattered about which was great as well
I am loving this. It's been surprisingly accurate in regards to the myths it's portraying and I really like the animation. It's very smooth and attractive so it's fun to watch. My favourite thing about this show though is that even though it's telling these incredible myths there's still plenty of classic anime humour. They also through in pieces of American pop culture for the heck of it which I find really funny. They had the fairy godmother in one episode, and a light saber in another

I did actually rather like this - it was an interesting take on the Batman universe and it was fun seeing all the familiar characters in a new role

I really love the Black Butler animations - not only are they beautifully done but they're so faithful to the manga which is very unusual. This one was realised last year so I'm hoping there's more to come. I really liked the manga and I'll prob pick it up again when it finishes. I get fed up waiting on new chapters

Finally got around to finishing this and the manga too. I really love this series it's so well drawn and the characters are just so lovable. Mizuki is my special favourite but I did love Suirou too

There was basically no plot to this at all haha. Just lots of random snippets from what I assume is the game, though some bits did remind me of the manga

Not quite finished watching this yet but I can see why it's still so beloved. It's a great story and I had to admit I got very excited when I saw good old Edinburgh in one episode haha. I must admit although he's only been in an episode so far Puck is by far my favourite character. It was actually after seeing a clip of him that I decided to give this series a bash - though I must admit it was already on my watchlist

Director: Sam Liu | Stars: Christian Slater, Vanessa Williams, Billy Brown, Kristin Bauer
Votes: 17,264
I quite liked this, probably more than I liked the first. The character designs were really top notch and I felt like the brutality was more honest. Copperhead was super cool. I liked how many characters were introduced as well, and the way they linked this film to Flashpoint Paradox. Most of the DC films are very loosely related so it was nice to have something solid and it was interesting. It was quite cool so see comic characters who aren't in many other animations get some screen time. Plus the plot was actually really cool

I've watched what's been released so far and I REALLY like this story. It's all so fantastically brutal and takes the magical girl concept onto a new level. And it really fantastic

I'd been wondering about this one for a while, but after I saw a music video I decided to take a closer look. And when I found it was only 12 eps long I thought why not? I ended up binge watching the series and really enjoyed it. Not really what I expected a lot of silly and funny moments. I liked that a lot and it was definitely worth a watch
