Persona 5: The Animation (2018)
Flawed but enjoyable
While it doesn't quite reach the heights of the game, it is still a great watch in its own right. First of all, the good stuff, the cast performances and respect to the source material make it amazing. Each actor suites their character well and they genuinely make you fall in love with their character. The themes stay intact as well and the story holds surprisingly well. Some of the animation is so-so but not terrible. I think its weakest links are the pacing and Jokers character. It makes sense to have a semi-silent protagonist in the game but in the animation he's just kind of there and feels a bit out of place. Also the character development was a bit more fleshed out in the games but the pacing moves things very fast so if you didn't play the game first, it might be confusing to watch. Overall, it's rough around the edges but an enjoyable and engaging series.
Interstellar (2014)
A spectacular, compelling, often confounding exploration of our universe and it's wonders.
Like many Christopher Nolan movies, Interstellar offers no shortage of compelling characters, stunning visuals, an amazing score by Hans Zimmer, and a substantial amount of scientific accuracy. Though it might lose the less informed audience with its more complex scientific endeavors, the scope and sheer ambition of Interstellar will leave you in awe.
