Animation: Just right - not overbearing or underwhelming. Story: 5/5 - Emotional hits: average+ - Character development: Excellent - World Building: Excellent. - Intrigue: Yes - mostly about the origins and mysteries of the location. - Predictable? No Zany/Fun? Above average+ Humor Level 3/5 - More of a serious drama I don't think there is much humor is sprinkled in. Some character actions are humorous, but this isn't supposed to be a comedy. Hook (do I want to binge?): Yes Age Appropriate: 14+

Hell's Paradise

Animation: Just right - not overbearing or underwhelming. Story: 5/5 - Emotional hits: above average - not deep hits, but ones that hit the way they are supposed to if that makes sense. - Character development: Excellent - World Building: Excellent. - Intrigue: Not really. There is the underlying question about where and why the kaiju's are attacking, and some minor questions along the way, but I wouldn't call it a mystery-type show where there are a lot of unanswered questions. - Predictable? No Zany/Fun? Above average+ Humor Level 5/5 - Just right level Hook (do I want to binge?): Yes Age Appropriate: 12+ The first season focuses on Japanese Defense Force teams to take down kaiju's attacking Japan. The story follows a JDF candidate that has a run in with a strange creature that allows him to into a powerful kaiju and then trying to keep that a secret, while trying to protect his team from kaiju attacks.

Kaiju No. 8

Animation: Just right - not overbearing or underwhelming. Story: 5/5 - Emotional hits: average - Character development: Excellent - World Building: Excellent. - Intrigue: Some, but not really a show that has a lot of intrigue. - Predictable? No Zany/Fun? Above average+ Humor Level 5/5 - Just right level Hook (do I want to binge?): Yes Age Appropriate: 12+ This is a clever show. Season 1 is about a timed rescue mission where the party can't exit the dungeon for supplies often so they have to figure out how to survive - which includes cooking up delicious meals as they go deeper into the dungeon. Very clever premise and well thought out. The writers don't just say that the characters cook up monster XYZ - a well thought out recipe is constructed and they make total sense.

Animation: Very dynamic style. Just right for this type of show. Story: 5/5 - Emotional hits: Yes! - Character development: Excellent - World Building: Below average. Show is more focused on characters than what sort of world they live in. - Intrigue: Below average (that's ok - just not the type of show that presents a lot of mysteries. - Predictable? Very much No. Zany/Fun? This show is crazy zany and fun Humor Level 5/5 - Perfect level. Hook (do I want to binge?): Yes! Age Level: MA-14 (not for kids) One of my favorite shows and nothing quite like it. Hard to describe so I will just say that its a fun, zany and unpredictable show that hits just right on many levels.

Animation: Just right - not overbearing or underwhelming. Story: 5/5 - Emotional hits: yes - Character development: Excellent - World Building: Excellent. - Intrigue: Not really a show that has a lot of open mysteries. - Predictable? No Zany/Fun? Average+ Humor Level 5/5 - Just right level Hook (do I want to binge?): Yes I think the show is fantast on many levels. However, just know that it's not a show that is action-packed each episode with big-long fight sequences. It's more about the Frieren's individual adventures once her hero group completes their main mission, the new people she meets along her way and remembering the past.

The premise of the show is a world where the population can award "trust" to individuals by what looks like a simple "like" through software app. That trust is converted to super-hero powers. The more puplic trust you receive the more powerful you will become. This has created a world where heroes are not just fighting crime, but also have to deal with issues of trying to stay on top of the hero rankings and to keep the population happy. The story in season one unfolds with the introductions of characters back-stories that usually last 4-5 episodes. As the season unfolds the audience discovers that all of the stories and heroes are cleverly interconnected. The world-building and how the season unfolds is really intriguing as there are many mysteries about how a world like this could exist and what does it mean if it does. The story doesn't get bogged down with a ton of details - just the right amount and while I want to go more into the world, it is better to watch the show and discover things yourself. Animation: 5/5 Story: 5/5 Intrigue: 5/5 Hook (want to immediately watch next episode) 5/5 Emotional: 5/5
