Monster & Me (2013)
Bad acting, bad story, bad writing bad film
This is God awful everything is amateurish. I cannot fathom how they were able to pull off such a bad film nothing about it had quality.
Baki (2018)
So bad it is good!
I've never read the Manga. Or watched any of the other adaptations of baki. But Netflix adaptation is so dumb it's laughable. This TV series has made me laugh at times they were trying to make me cry.
Although the animation is good. Baki has a problem where at certain scenes. It will go from the 2D traditional animation. To a 3D cell animation. Which really took me out of the story. I assumed at first they did this as a cost-cutting way for fight scenes. But for a show that's whole premise is about fighting. This has some of the worst action scenes I've seen in anime.
The fight scenes mainly consist of one guy Landing a blow. And then explaining how he did that. And then the opponent doing the same thing. It's a lot more talking than it is fighting. And the unrealistic amount of punishment these characters can take. Gives me a lack of urgency in the fight. Since these characters have survived getting their throat slit, explosions, massive blunt force trauma disfigurement, amputation and multiple stab wounds. I don't feel a sense of danger for the main character when they're in a fight. Because of this it kind of ruins the experience of the fight. Especially because it feels like you think a character is dead. And then they come back in the next episode.
Now when I did start this anime. I thought it was a pretty good premise. Five death row inmates versus five of the greatest martial artists. But a thing that this show does that deters me from the plot. Is the unnecessary inclusion of new characters. It feels like every episode a couple of new characters are introduced. Just so they can get their ass kicked by one of the villains. Wildest anime also tries to make me feel for these characters that were just introduced 5 minutes ago.
Although I might be hating on this anime. I will admit that the sheer stupidity of it. Has kept me captivated already on episode 21. And I have no urge to stop watching it. I do highly recommend to this anime. On the so bad it's good. There is this sex scene in part two. Which I didn't know if it was supposed to be taken seriously. Which it does seem like that's what they're trying to portray. But it had me laughing my head off. And that is a fly do think this show has. It takes itself too seriously. Which is why it comes off as being so funny. Basically every other seen a character will have a shocked look on their face. If you made a drinking game of it you'd be dead.
Although I do enjoy this anime. I am giving it 3/10 simply because although it's so bad it's good. It's not the intended purpose. So I give it a lower score but will admit if you want to laugh watch it. It takes itself more serious than it should. And every character shows off a new reason why they're tough with more talking than there is violence... So much for a fighting anime.
