Reviews

First of: The obvious review bombing for the show is insane! Im 100% sure some people dont even give this a single(!) fair chance and go "3D bad!!"+"The OG Trigun rules" and give it an unreasonable low score. My first impression on the other hand is actually very positive! I have rarely seen an anime with such an kinetic style. The action is plenty, the camera goes wild, great sound design and the characters show so much emotion in their expressions and movements. This show is directed skillfully, just like Studio Orange's Land of the Lusterous. The criticism I have is that it basically tells you a lot of stuff in the beginning that could have made for good reveals. You should give at least the first episode a fair chance. Just dont expect the old Trigun. The first episode alone is such a blast!

This is episode isnt really bad and it serves as a nice introduction to new character conflicts, which I like. But the tonal shift is waaay to abrupt. Last episode and the last arc overall was full of despair and death and now we are thrown into a completely different story and environment immediately with no progression.

Overall I rate this episode with 7 only because I think that this episode is a good introduction to the common wealth despite the abrupt change in setting.

To simply put it: It was a blast. This episode is the conclusion of the reapers arc. Yes, the criticism is valid, that the reapers kinda felt like filler, BUT to me it was still enjoyable. The reapers really seemed ruthless and especially this episode is filled to the brim with action, gore and death. The fight scenes here are amongst the best choreographed fights in the franchise. That's where a lot of tension builds up and you really want our characters to win. Although I wasnt a huge Maggie fan, Maggie is a stand out this episode!! Also I liked the emotional parts and we get a conclusion to the fate of a well known character.

It is a mirical after the awful first season, that especially the second half of s2 turned it out. In my view Pollyanna McIntosh saved the show almost single-handedly because her acting is A++.

And that end credit scene is a game changer. Some will dislike it, which I understand, but after a billion seasons of WD I was enormously suprised, that they would tease radical new ideas.

My criticism would be some illogical/stupid stuff like the fight scenes or the time bomb made out of a watch.

This movie hit me personal and is very special. It's such a Lana del Rey 80s summer gay fantasy.

Besides the obvious best scenes like the bathroom scene after the fair fight and the freak out and dance on the grave. My favourite thing is that David and his mom call Alexis rabbit all the time. Which is an allegory for being innocent and cute looking, but also rabbits are known to be very sexual.

Plus the acting and camera in this movie are phenomenal. And the sexual tension is 🤒 from minute 1. Also Alexis voice actor in the german dub did a perfect job. I dont know if it is the same in french, but Alex always sounded so shy and innocent.

Im a 100% supportive of the mixed and negative reviews. This episode doesnt fit TWD. Its way too fantasy/mystical. The writing is pretty bad in many instances. The writing feels like a S5 epsiode.

Why I rated this 7 and whats safes this episode for me personally, is the amazing set design, vfx, cinematography and acting for what was given to them. Grace's actress is really amazing and underrated. This isnt the worst episode ever like some stated (dont forget stuff like the vultures or beer drinking bs from s4 or the pseudo documentary epsiodes from 5.) Im a bit disappointed because Grace's epsiode had a lot of potential. And I have an awful prediction which I hope isnt true. I could imagine AMC hired script doctors to save 6A after the bad S5 reception. And now in S6B Ian and Andrew do the story by their own again. The Daniel and now this Grace episode just feel off when it comes to the writing.

I think this epsiode has some of the best parts and some of the worst parts of the season so far. Yes, we get more flashbacks. This time from Huck, but in my view her flashbacks actually were very interesting and her backstory fitted very well with the narrative of the epsiode. For the first time the flashbacks dont feel completely forced into the episode. After that epsiode I kinda think that Huck is interesting. Now to the bad. I never lightly use the word cringe. Cringe is an overused word today. That being said, I cringed everytime Iris and Percy were flirting and Silas looking pissed in every tiny situation. That whole plot felt like it was taken from a show aimed at pre-teens.. At least the ending is kinda interesting. Someone finally dies. The biggest problem with the show in general is, that the plot is paper thin. Everything that happened until now could have been compressed into 2-3 episode really.. Also what is up with people calling the cinematography on point? It isnt really bad and in this episode it is sometimes even good, but in general it is very generic. Dont you watch any other shows? Compare this to the new epsiodes of Fear S6. There is a night and day difference in cinematographic effort.

The writing of this episode is great. And also the chase scene reminded me of old western, where bandits would rob stage coachs. But it wasnt as crazy good as for example last episode. But tbh not every episode needs to scream masterpiece. Im just really happy that Fear is so good again. The writing completely changed to the better. The show is very suspenseful and keeps you wanting to see more!

You dont need 100 Walkers every 2sec to make a good episode and this episode shows it! The writing of this episode is suspenseful and simultaniously gives John Dorie a lot of character development. The writing and acting feels realistic. You are rooting for John, but at the end we know how things work out in the Walking dead universe and the episode gets pretty dark and shocking. They also did a good job with the side characters, especially Janis. To conclude another great episode with an special focus on the good writing and acting. Also the Morgan scene at the end was really nice. Hope Morgan keeps this personality.

The season is slowly shaping up to be really amazing. I almost like this epsiode better than the pilot of s6. It is hands down the best Al episode ever and the best Dwight episode since his transition to Fear. I thought especially on this epsiode the walkers were sooo amazingly realized. Also I loved the scary claustrophobic tone of the episode. Great Job. I hope the quality stays the same the rest of the season

Im not a hater. I really really try to like the show, but you cant say that the show is great, if the only intreresting stuff happens in the last 2min of every episode. We are 4 epsiodes in and NOTHING is happening at all. Some teens talking some nonsense and here and there they encounter a walker. Why should I care about the main cast at all?? Seriously the soldier at the end of episode 3 has me way more interested in him than any main cast member, although he barely has 2min screentime. Even Fear S5 is 1000times more interesting to watch. Also they heavily overuse flashbacks. Fear S4A was flashback city, but World beyond is 10times more lazy with that approach and just randomly slaps flashbacks into the episode in order to desperatly try to give the characters more personality. Like I said I love TWD franchise and want to like it, thats why Im voicing my opinion and want a better product.

The episode itself is awesome. I hated Strand in S4 and 5, but this episode made him interesting again. The cinematography and production design are very good. This epsiode really makes you interested in what might happen next. How will Strand develop, how will Morgan develop and wtf is up with Daniel? Now to the elephant in the room. The german dub is almost unwatchable. There are major errors with the backround noise and the sound is bad in general. It seems extremely(!) rushed and unpolished, like noone bothered to listen to it even once before release. Please fix this asap and especially for the bluray release. This is unacceptable. Normally this would be an 8 in my opinion. Not as strong as the premiere, but really solid

I can understand the distaste for s4 and 5, but hear me out. I started watching with s5. After catching up on the main Walking Dead, I was bored and decided to give Fear a shot. I watched trailers and just decided to start with s5 because the cinematography and production design judging off trailers looked awesome. I finished it and Im watching s4 atm. I dont have any strong negative feelings about both 4+5 because I dont know the earlier seasons. I suspect that 1-3 build up a great show with good writing and 4 completely changed it. You can just start the show with s4. So I can understand people who invested their time and liked the older seasons and now hate the new ones. The writing of 5 isnt great, but to me the show is dumb fun. High production value, every episode they show you a new place with new problems and the cinematography is very good. The biggest problems to me were the villain Logan, who wasnt really used well and Altheas tapes, which are interesting, but stop doing whole episodes with just the bad quality video tapes. Also while people say that S5 is slow af, I highly believe that it could provide very good build up to S6. This is of course speculation, but S6 looks highly promising as a continuation point from 5.

At the end of day, yes, the new Fear seasons arent like the old ones or like TWD, but they are really enjoyable if you dont take the writing very serious and enjoy the high quality production.
