Shenmue (2022)
A really well made animation
The story was great. The art great. The voice and sounds great. It was a very well made animation. To sad to hear they canceled season 2. I think that was a mistake as this is an excellent show to promote to introduction of the world of anime.
Smart logical writing. Compelling story with lots of side quests entertainment. It feels like a game, but less so than many other animes.
I don't fully agree with all the philosophies, and a few moments where an opportunity for a lesson was missed.
Why lower your honor to throw trash on someone that clearly have issues, after they told you what you asked for?
I get if fans of games felt it failed. But for someone that never played them, this was a great show that deserved to have the full story told.
Overlord (2015)
Disappointed
After having been blown away by Attack on Titan. Then watching Sword Art Online. Then Classmates of the Elites. Then Holmes. I was in the opinion anime perhaps was much better story telling than most of the recycled American stories.
Sadly Overlord is fine. But boring. The story is the same. 4 seasons in and it's still nonsense and purposeless.
If you like being the bad guy in games, this might be for you.
Personally I find such stories boring and uninspiring. So while I watched all 4 seasons.
I don't even care if I watch the next one. Just going to be more of the same uninteresting Evil is strongest and only the strong survive kind of crap.
So to me. This is disappointing. I can't recommend it, unless you do like being the bad guy. And have no problems with more of the same over and over.
My suggestion, don't waste your precious time of mediocrity. Watch Attack on Titan for a truly amazing storytelling this show can only dream off.
Shingeki no Kyojin (2013)
Stunning Story Telling
I watched this while high quite often. It is an absolutely amazing storytelling. I was constantly adapting my views to the inspiration and purpose behind the shows creator. It is so well written it's the work of a genius storyteller, so clearly there must be something behind it.
First it was easy. The Titans are corporate Greed. The Abnormals the billionaires etc. Then it just had to consistently branch out, just like on our world. We are told lies to hate. We are victims of a system that in the end, is just all about Greed.
Naturally we have the many factions of the system, workers, those that enforce the laws on behalf of the wealthy, the businessmen that exploit the system, because they not stupid enough to fall victim for it, so they give away their integrity and loyalty and they become their own worst self. Then there is the religious and royalties.
