Blade Runner: Black Lotus [English Audio] Episodes 7-13 -
Well that was... underwhelming. In a way, it was already clear there wasn't going to be much development of the characters and that turned out to be the case. Outside of one episode that explained the backstory of one person in particular, not much is gained there and instead the show builds to toward to the conclusion of the main arc, filling in time with decent enough sword fights in between the pretty clear revelations and conclusion. I suppose it's fine, it tells its story in a serviceable (if completely expected) way, but definitely doesn't make an impact. 5/10
Black Rock Shooter [English Audio] Episode 1-8 -
An entertaining Melodrama that has uses said melodrama as a framing device for the other world and vice versa, the show also has really strong visuals during those other world segments. Went in knowing almost nothing and was pleasantly surprised. Also, overall a very solid dub from Sound Cadence/Discotek, very few complaints. 7/10
Black Rock Shooter: Dawn Fall [English Audio] Episode 1 -
Since this has finally arrived on Disney+ outside of APAC, decided to watch the predecessor and then decided to watch this and... this is a departure, although it seems the property does deviate quite a bit depending on the adaptation/medium. Not the strongest first impression so far with some... questionable moments. Going in I also knew the Roundabout/Disney produced dub wasn't well received and so far its not very good. Definitely much worse than the BRS dub and has me concerned for Summertime Rendering.
May catch up and keep up with Dawn Fall for a bit at least, since for it's being rolled out weekly, for some reason.
