I am re-watching for the third time. As an avid movie/cartoon/series watcher , I don't ever repeat watch anything because it's a waste of time. But NOTHING has prepared me for this. I am obsessed. It's as if the creators had played the violin on the strings of my heart. The graphics, the characters, the storyline, the lighting; i hate that the second season is taking so long to come out, and i hate even more that it's coming out this year. Because i don't ever want it to end, i want to be suspended in this universe of crime and justice, of love and loyalty, of action and magic. It's a drug, i tell you. Vi is the loml, i crave her with every fibre of my body. Every character is so complex, so conflicting, so intriguing I love them all so much. Oh, a shame to live just a mundane life and witness such an interesting one.

Arcane

As a newcomer to the series, I was emerged from the beginning. Geralt was everything that makes a stoic character lovable. Quiet, alert and immensely protective. At the end of the very first episode you are left wanting to know more about this mysterious character. In fact, each character is absolutely brilliant. You know Yennefer's character was important from the moment you see her in the pigsty. With her heartfelt emotions, Anya was able to portray her perfectly, from a scared little girl to the most powerful mage. Ciri is absolutely incredible, and although she is a royalty, her character is one who is almost relatable, making mistakes, being blamed for anything she does, trying over and over to impress people around her and failing to but becoming stronger every time. She has potential to either become extremely good or bad that makes us question it every time. Although the timelines were not in sync, there was no obstruction in the flow of the story as they were told separately and progressed in one direction. It was also easier to follow through once you realized how they cleverly entwined the stories with side characters such as Queen Calanthe and Foltest. Although there were several events to tackle, it was executed so smoothly that the series did not feel too slow nor too rushed. And lastly, the graphics was amazing but the sceneries were unforgettable including Brokilon Forest, Sodden and Temple of Melitele. Overall, the series has been incredibly brought to life by the film studio. Huge respect to every artist involved in bringing the audience this absolute masterpiece.

So, I wanted to watch something chill and thought it was a nice sweet fantasy movie without reading any reviews or storyline. Let me tell you, big mistake. Cried myself the whole time. Did not expect a movie to have so much depth and meaning to it. Made me miss my family who I haven't seen in years. And realize just how short life is. I only hope we can all live it to the fullest, loving people and being happy. In the end, that's really all that matters. About the movie, each of the characters do grow like blooming flowers. In the midst of the turmoil of war and abuse, we are led to follow the innocent story of a boy and his mother. And though they face so much hardship, they never stop caring for each other. In the sideline, Maquia's friend follows her own path to finding happiness. The way their lives are entwined together is so serene and flawless. The writer herself must be Iorph to weave such a beautiful tale. But don't let the story distract you from the talented work by the animators, each scene is purely magical and the emotions are just so alive and heartfelt. Overall, it truly is a masterpiece unlike anything you'll ever watch.

It was such a unique experience watching this series. You get a different perspective of the story for every episode you watch. Nothing is connected but everything is connected. One moment, everything falls into place and the next, nothing makes sense. Some hard questions are raised which makes you uncomfortable. With a gloomy doomsday backdrop and three characters you can't decide if you love or hate, it's got all the elements to force you to think critically while being entertaining.

This was my first peak into the world of Vox Machina and after devouring season one, here's my humble review. The series is very fast-paced. I couldn't believe it had only been 30 minutes long after i finished the first episode since so much had happened. However that is not to say it's rushed. It's more like, consolidated. There's no stretched moments of silence or unnecessary scenes. In fact, it's pretty amazing how much depth they were able to build up for each character like Pike's journey and the relationships like Vax's lingering glances at Keyleith from the beginning. More amazing might be how many of Scanlan's jokes they were able to squeeze in, although I must say the story would do quite fine without some of them. There's also the glaring question of how such an odd bunch of misfits came together and their backstories, which keeps the excitement flowing. Overall's I am loving it and looking forward to emerge deeper into this series. I sense there is much development to be witnessed with more character arcs and conflicts. Job well done to everyone involved in the production team!

Although the series starts with the first couple of episodes being quite interesting, it spirals downhill very fast. Turns out it is basically your cliché high school dynamics with grown ups acting it out which makes it more embarrassing. It's like a mash of Harry potter, Narnia and Vampire diaries, the combination of which leaves a really bad taste if nothing else. It was especially hard to watch with the two main characters being the most obnoxious. Quentin was a sad mope for no particular reason except to add depth to the story, which he failed to do. Alice was even harder to watch without wanting the Beast to rip your eyes out. She was but a caricature of Hermione with an exaggerated air of conceit. As perfect as they were for each other in their repulsive ways, the relationship itself was unbearable to watch. However, I particularly liked the ending of Season 1 so I'll leave it at that.

!!SPOILERS!! Having read the books previously and just recently completing the series, I want to give an unbiased review. First off, i want to begin by saying the world-building of Pullman's book series was exceptional and the dark and magical aspect of it cannot possibly be given justice on a 2-dimensional screen. That being said, the series was able to capture much of the story to keep it entertaining with little details very well explained. The main characters were brilliant, both Dafne and Amir have yet to go far with their talents. Some of the elements brought to life like the Chittagezze, the portals and the abyss were impressively accurate. However, the action scene could have definitely being executed better. Starting with Iorek and Iofur's contest, and the rescue. The final fight with Metatron was underwhelming to say the least and the entire war was unfortunately, even more so. Overall, it was a great remake where although some of the storylines were shifted, the main themes had remained unaltered and exciting.

His Dark Materials

!!SPOILERS!! The series progressively degrades by each book. Although the theme and the characters had large potential to create an epic tale, the story is executed so haphazardly. It is like Weeks had all these imaginative ideas but no idea how to string them together. Only Dazen and Teia's characters were given some shape throughout the series. Gavin was in and out of the story before the reader knew what to make of him. Kip's character went from being relatable to something unreachable, what with all his insane powers and excessive righteousness. His Mighty did not exist beyond his peripheral vision or make any independent decisions, lest they fall out of the story like their commander. Tisis was very much hinted as something more than her pretty but it just didn't work as she didn't play any significant roles. The villains, however were written much worse. Abaddon the supreme all-powerful immortal, for one, did nothing but scream very loudly. Zymun, who was also supposedly very powerful and evil except there was no evil thought in his mind, or actually any thought at all. It was like he did the specific tasks required of him indifferent to why he did them. Even Koios who was the more formidable, which isn't saying much to be honest, didn't have a great ending. The story had no specific direction to where it was headed, what did the thousand worlds have to do with the fight between humans? What did the immortals actually want? And did the mysterious, very dangerous Order even have a point other than to be a target for Teia? Overall, this was a quite disappointing read, given the expectations i had from the first book of this series.

The Burning White

This is not your typical spy movie with lots of fighting and action. Rather, it is the brains behind all that. Slow-paced but packed with subtle hints of getting into cover, moments of tension for being exposed, discoveries and betrayals. Look away from the screen even for a minute and you might miss an entire plot. The story is made even more impactful by people who want to do the right thing at the cost of their lives. The power of bond between genuine people will definitely leave a memorable experience. Hands down one of the best spy movies I've watched recently.

The plot is incredibly unique and unlike anything I've seen before even though it is a simple concept. Live and evolve from the people around you. This is what everyone of us does each day, we absorb a little bit from the people we encounter, we feel them and grow from our mutual experience. Loss is something encountered heavily in this series which made it too painful sometimes. But the series has a way of teaching to grow from that loss, almost beautifully. It shows how even ordinary people can help an immortal being to become more powerful and determined to defeat their enemy.
