Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir: Re-creation (The Final Day - Part 2) (2023) Season 5, Episode 26

There are flaws but its amazing to finally culminate to this

[10/10 · 1 January 2024]

Lets be honest, the moves here can be understood if you look from a writers perspective. He had to let the mask revelation for next season because there was already a lot happening this season(way too much) and also to make S6 and S7 happen. Not to mention if Adrien was there then he would know who Monarch is and pretty much be of no help because of shock and in the end it would still be Ladybug fighting with Monarch with both Miraculous. So why not save revelation for later?

Gabriel had to give up something in order to get Emily back and he did. That redemption was almost not possible but made sense only because Ladybug showed Emily video at the end and also because Gabriel always had soft spot for Adrien(preventing Akumatizations and harm to Adrien) Although many would want this final battle to involve Adrien but it was not the case because the writer obviously wants to use Gabriel in the future as the turning point in Ladybug and Chat Noir revelation especially when fighting Lila and this is because Lila knows it all especially with the info she stole with Nathalie's help. I would love to see the development of Adrien as a character due to this and both know others identity.

The cunningness of the writers is in very small things this season : where Ladybug types the msg to Chat but does not press send. Also Emily is back with Nathalie but that shouldnt be the case until Gabriel was the one who made a wish and that will never happen if Ladybug is present because she will never allow any wish to take place. THat brings the major point of the lines that Gabriel spoke at the time of wishing. READ MY HEART. READ MY SOUL :::::NONE KNOWS WHAT HIS ACTUAL WISH WAS. NONE KNOWS THE PRICE. SO NONE KNOWS HOW THE WORLD WAS RECREATED. That gives immense freedom on what can happen in the future which was extremely smart of them. It can literally mean Adrien and Marinette are not Superheroes anymore someone else is or maybe BunnyX can go back in time to prevent this from happening. Like anything can be justifiable.

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir: Derision (2023) Season 5, Episode 14

How can you do this?

[9/10 · 1 January 2024]

One of the most questionable things about Marinette until now was that whether she loves Adrien or is obsessed with him? Whether her actions of knowing his every action can be justified? Isn't it stalking to the most dangerous level? These are very important things which defines Marinette. How can you keep such an appropriate justification for her actions at a random episode that also in the 5th season in the middle. Such things should be presented early on so that we will like the character more especially if that character is the main female lead. It is seriously questionable on why this was delayed for so long but the episode is really great and makes you understand Marinette on a better level and fleshes her character way more than any other episode truly did.

Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare (2016)

Action packed all through the end

[10/10 · 30 December 2023]

I will be honest without spoilers that there is no mystery in it which should be the point of Detective Conan movie but DC fans will love it anyways. Fully action focused the movie is like a Detective Conan version of Avengers where everyone is involved like FBI, CIA, japanese police, Public security and Black Organization (except Hattori and Kaito Kid) which was so fun that I rewatched it just afterwards. It is not going to develop the main plot in anyway and feels a bit distorting the main series as well but still is a must watch for DC fans. Obviously our boy Kudou shines here as always but this time takes help from people which was a first. Go for it.

Twinkling Watermelon: Everything You Hoped for and More (2023) Season 1, Episode 16

Let's be honest, the writer did what he set out to do

[10/10 · 2 December 2023]

One of the greatest masterpeice of KDramas. Just like everyone out there who watched this show,I also want more. It is abrupt to end it here. But that wasn't the shows first objective and you can confirm it by rewatching the first 2 episodes. It was about Ha Eun Gyeol and how he can become a musician without upsetting his parents and not leading a double life, him getting out of the trophy cabinet of his father and not being an angel anymore. It was and is about he becoming himself. The emotional seen of Yi Chan losing his hearing was amazing and very important. If yi Chan didn't lose his hearing, Eun gyeol wouldn't be the guy he is today. Having a single parent who could hear and speak would change the burden that eun gyeol ever felt and gyeols character wouldn't turn out the way he is supposed to be. They did an amazing job of keeping a facade of Yi chans accident to be the solution to Eun Gyeols life but it was always about his mother's situation that needed to be changed to make it better. Really nice setup and really great ending but not perfect.

The problem with the last episode is the shows greatness itself. Ep 16 by itself is outstanding but will always be looked down because of it being the last episode. You need to show more. The show setup amazing characters besides Ha Eun gyeol that you just want to know about the rest of the characters story too. There are 3 other important characters too who go through strong arcs throughout the show. You have to answer some questions about them too besides the main guy. What about se gyeong and ji hwans relationship and their conversation with on eun Yu? How did Chung ah help Yi Chan overcome his deafness? How would yi Chan and Chung ah react to on eun Yu who looks like se gyeong? There is no way they can forget both eun Yu and eun gyeol from the past which literally shaped their life. What about metaphor On and Eun Ho? If both Chung ah and Yi Chan studied abroad then how did eun gyeol ever learn guitar from Mr. VIVA? They wouldn't be poor to live in that small place and he won't meet him. Why is the grandfather capable of time travel? There is so much that you can literally extend it by 4 episodes or atleast 1 more episode/special. Come on we need it. Otherwise it will lose its glory.

Twinkling Watermelon (2023– )

Best K Drama of 2023 without a need to watch others

[10/10 · 17 November 2023]

It will go down as one of the top K Dramas to be ever made like Crash Landing, It's Okay to not be Okay, etc. Simply amazing. I am a fan of time slip things so for me it's just the best KDrama ever but even if that wasn't the case, it is still outstanding. He'll if it isn't the best show ever(Let's be honest, western shows don't have what it takes to write things which don't focus on crime. They don't have wholesomeness without forced relationships) The characters played by all 4 main cast are just to the point. Choi Hyun work is what the twinkling stands for. All the seriousness and soft supple element can be brought by just one being - Eun Soo. Ryeon and Seol are obviously flawless and carry the plot by themselves when it turns into a slice of life at moments.

A must watch for all folks even if they never watched KDrama before. The days when KDramas will not be seen as cringe are long gone now. Go ahead and explore this gem. It's totally worth it.

Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir, the Movie (2023)

Don't fall prey to the low ratings. If you are a Miraculous fan then you will fall in love with this movie

[10/10 · 28 July 2023]

This movie is literally everything a Miraculous fan wanted it to be any simple alternate universe. It's seriously a treat in every way. Marinette and Adrien are extremely nicely fleshed out within less than 2 hours which is simply a job well done. The natural behavior of the two is simply way more endearing than the show and the animation with beautiful music just tops it all. The way the movie focuses on one particular trait of both the mains and how they struggle out of it with the outer dread in the form of a better fleshed Hawkmoth is seriously better than the show. The show never tried to point it out on a single behavioral weakness of the characters which made them the way they are which the movie does better.

Its seriously sad it wasnt released in theatre everywhere because its way better on a bigger screen.

Just go for it even when you don't know the characters, you will love ittttttttt!!!!!!

Krishna Aur Kans (2012)

Must watch film for devotees of Lord Krishna

[8/10 · 23 July 2023]

The film is seriously a treat for anyone and is one of the best animated movies of India. You should definitely watch it and make sure the kids watch it as well.

The animation and music is completely flawless and is the best part of the film.

Everyone in India is quite familiar of the pastimes of ShriKrishna but for foreigners also this film is very informative and thankfully hasn't been altered much from the scriptures. The scenes with best flute ever (besides in Star Plus Mahabharat) for Krishna can just make your eyes watery and make you fill up with emotions.

However, it's still not perfect. Rather than having a time wastingfull song for Putna of 4 minutes you should have seriously utilized that screen time for the relation between RadhaKrishna which is almost dismissed even though it is the most important thing especially in his time at Vrindavan before Kans death. That is inexcusable and those who don't know the scriptures cannot get it at all from the movie.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)

This is what you call a WORK OF ART

[10/10 · 3 June 2023]

ITs crazy how good the film is on almost every level. Not just the animation (which is by far the best animation you have ever seen on screen till now without a doubt) but the entire storyline and concept was amazing as well(the fact that everything now is due to an accident of the past basically makes no one a villain). Gwen is best female character of all the spiderman movies ever made and her 1st appearance sequence is enough to get you to the character and aesthetic beauty that the movie is going to serve you. Miles is obviously fascinating to watch alongwith his parents especially his mother having crucial moments with him . THe music was the only thing which although was good but due to other factors being outstanding, will feel a bit lagging( If only it had busters like Sunflower and Whats up danger). Every other thing is better than the previous movie which itself shows what a masterpiece it is and that also sets the bar way too high for Beyond the Spiderverse. If they make the third part even upto this level then it will go down in history as the best animated trilogy ever made and one of the best trilogies like dark knight.

The Sea Beast (2022)

The best animated pirate film

[9/10 · 25 September 2022]

You can tell that the director had some serious vision about the pirate world and wanted to make it come to sight as much as possible(offcourse bloodshed cannot be shown in these films). The film has a steady pace and keeps bringing in one or other parts. The sea beast(especailly Red) definitely reminds of 'How to Train your dragon' because the heart of it is similar but theres more with political point that is shown and such small improvements are always fun to look at. Every Disney and DreamWorks animated film lover will for sure love this film and it deserves that. A Wonderful Watch and it also has some nice lines.

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir: Cat Blanc (2019) Season 3, Episode 21

What was this episode. Mindblowing!!!!!

[10/10 · 28 May 2022]

A must watch episode for every miraculous fan out there. Every moment of it is crazy. Incredible story telling for the episode and make one think over again telling secret identities would be seriously ok for them both. GREAT EPISODE.

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir: Kwamibuster (2019) Season 3, Episode 15

The best Miraculous introduction ever

[10/10 · 16 May 2022]

This episode is a lot of information about the kwamis and a must watch for every Miraculous fan. Marinette goes all guns blazing no cap and Adrien is finally able to figure something out. It sets up the premise for the future of the show from Miraculous point of view no doubt.

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir: Oblivio (2019) Season 3, Episode 7

The most amazing episode of the series yet

[10/10 · 16 April 2022]

The episode is fan service yet amazingly narrated and creatively crafted. The dynamic between Mari and Adrien is just something the best I have seen and could have possibly imagined to have in such a way.

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir: Animaestro (2019) Season 3, Episode 4

Most creative episode of Miraculous ever

[10/10 · 3 April 2022]

Breaking the forth wall and the director himself being a part of the series as a character is just amazing. He definitely had fun doing it. Its sad that the audience for which it is aimed wont feel it but the creativity and references here and there for Sailor moon, DBZ were all amazing. Keep those creative juices glowing. Seriously didn't expect such an episode from this show.

Kim Possible (2002–2007)

Heard about it when I was a child but watched it in pandemic and look here I am

[9/10 · 19 January 2022]

For 20+ aged me, I will tell you, it's amazing what they did in 2002 (when I didn't care to watch it even once). The show is seriously good when it comes to humor and dialogue. The dialogue are something to highlight as they add a genuinity and natural aura to them as if the characters said it at the moment with the same pace as the show which is also great. The slang and all is so well that it seriously gives a friendly feel to it which I think is better than any animated show ever (anime/cartoon). One can see that it inspired many shows especially like Phineas and Ferb. If you want to have a good time, watch it and After season 1, you will just not know why you are watching it at every free moment.

Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure: Plus Est En Vous (2020) Season 3, Episode 17

This was an unexpectedly good show and it sticks to everything the movie had to offer

[8/10 · 18 January 2022]

The episode and rather the series concluded insanely with reminding us what the original 2010 movie felt like. Many small gestures from Eugene introducing the episode to Rapunzel's emotionally lifting her shoulders habit to ending at the pond were beautiful. Everyone who loved the movie should definitely watch this show, you will love it just have patience because it has great moments like this one. I would have liked a darker ending with some closeness to reality though as the show had some consequential wave. The ending felt a bit rushed especially considering how greatly the Rapz/Cass relationship was setup as more than just friends but sisters too throughout the season. The show was more than for kids at many points so the entire S3 was a bit underutilized for the ending which could have brought a lot of complex and thoughtful conversations between the main cast.

Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure: Rapunzel's Return (2019) Season 3, Episode 1

Glad to watch this amazing show

[10/10 · 5 November 2021]

Everything from movie has been connected and is a must watch for those who liked tangled(you can skip some kiddish episodes if you want a serious tone). The episode just adds more development to characters and to story too and thus makes you wait for the conclusion .

Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure: Rapunzeltopia (2019) Season 2, Episode 19

The best episode with normal runtime

[10/10 · 28 October 2021]

Connecting both the past and present. Her struggles with herself definitely give a nice character development to Rapunzel and highlight certain shades that we mostly forget she had.

Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure (2017–2020)

A great sequel to original movie and don't avoid it just due to change in animation like I did

[9/10 · 28 October 2021]

I do not like what Disney does usually by releasing CGI movies then releasing 2d animated show only for cashing. They should learn from DreamWorks on this one. Hardly any successor shows from Disney exist that are good, this one is the best of them all. The characters are nicely preserved from the movie unlike most cartoon shows and the newer ones are also good. Its unexpected disney flick which anyone can watch.

Ever After was released earlier to this one and in that we did not see any newer friends(not a single girl) even after 5 years which isn't like Rapunzel at all. That missing female friend is covered in the show thoroughly and believe me it's great not to mention story,music,etc.

Also thing to note is lack of Romance tag which is true even though Tangled is so much about Rapz and Eugene's dynamic but that does not hurt at all. Rather the relationship between two is so mature that every scene between the two is heartwarming Its kiddish but most of the messages can be taken by grown ups (especially the ones involving Raps and Eugene). You wont regret watching this one. The only reason to not give 10 : Eugene felt a bit sidelined to me even though he is a core character. He could be developed more.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations: Ketsui (2021) Season 1, Episode 217

Best of series and one of the best in entire franchise

[10/10 · 28 September 2021]

The episode is perfect in every way : Animation, storytelling, music,etc. Seriously no reason to rate less than 10 unless biased towards top notch animation quality like AOT, DS or JJK.
