Patlabor 2 Film

I’m gonna say it, it was better than the first one. Rare example. The backgrounds are awesome, the Pats look cool in their flak jackets. The plot was slow, mysterious and brooding and then the end action sequence was really cool. I didn’t mind that the whole squad wasn’t in it throughout but they all got their face time in the end (well except Kanuca).

Would love to hear your thoughts when you finish it.
I am off for a few days next week and I haven't decided whether to finish today or save it until Wednesday. There's football and darts on the TV.
When I'm enjoying something, I go by the twisted logic of making it last longer by not watching it.
At the moment, it is my all time favourite this month.

Delicious in Dungeon ep24 [end]

No fancy fight scene to close out the season, but that felt like the perfect place to stop. It’s taken me a long time to get used to the show’s unexpected excursions into body horror, but it’s been a very enjoyable run overall and I’ll miss not having this as a weekly.

Also “Let’s save Falin by eating roughly 50% of her” is absolutely the most on brand conclusion they could have reached here, now excuse me while I actually vomit…

Konosuba s3 ep9-10

It’s a shame that the end of the series is so close at hand, I think this last arc has been a real return to form.

Re: Cutie Honey OVAs

I ordered New Cutie Honey off of the back of this (although I’m prepared for it not to be as over the top and as silly as this). Brilliant.

With its weird, very Go Nagai post-apocalyptic setting, New Cutie Honey is probably the version I find the most appealing, but it is a lot more monster-of-the week than Re was. If you could pick and choose all the best elements from the various iterations of the show, I think you’d get one really great series, but I don’t know, to some extent I feel like maybe the definitive Cutie Honey anime is yet to be made.

It still pains me that they didn’t get Science Saru to do Universe
 
Some of the stuff I watched today:
HAL: interesting premise of a robot helper to nurse someone over grief, in a world where high tech and simple living meet, but I felt the big surprise near the end did sort of mean everything we'd seen up to that point was a lie. Looked lovely, though.

Mulan live action: I have to say I prefer the Disney version (and it's not often you'd catch me saying that!). That whole nobility of personal sacrifice for the future of the country, with the stirring music and heroic deaths ... I preferred the ghosts and the midget dragon. And was it just me, or did General Weiwei look the spitting image of Bishop in Aliens?

Thankfully the football and darts prevented me finishing this masterpiece too quickly. Now I can spend 3 days letting the anticipation build.
Kuro might be the greatest hero ever.😁
And although you might want to date the prettiest girl in school. Just don't.

Cypher
This is a 2003 film with Lucy Lui.
Even though a rewatch, I still got that " what the hell's going on feeling". Lovely.

Miami Vice S1
The Home Invaders
Don't particularly like the films of Abel Ferrara apart from King of New York.
However he has directed some great TV episodes and I hadn't watched this while knowing he directed it. Much darker.

Can't wait till Wednesday.
 
Patlabor 3: WXIII Film

I can see why people call this a side story. You could have replaced the SV2 with anyone and it would have worked. Plot wise it doesn’t hold a candle to the other two movies but it’s a fun ride. My biggest gripe, while looking fantastic, the SV2 characters looked a little off to me. I guess that’s because it’s Production IG instead of Studio Deen.

Still, a fun film with some good action and an entertaining story, all animated to a high standard.
