Winter Dragon (2015)
Why
Why. Why would you deliberately sabotage an entire series with this travesty. Wheel of Time has the potential to be an outstanding television series, with engaging plots and strong characters- male, female, people of color- it has it all and you did this. We know you did it in order to hold on the film and TV rights, however you just shot yourself in the foot, because if this is what you have to show people interested in making a show, you have no idea how badly you have screwed up. It was nice (and incredibly lazy) of you to incorporate so much of the book's original dialog, but that won't save the kindergarten level acting and complete disregard for basic plot elements- like, I dunno- never naming the Dark One? Ever? It's a thing? You did actually read more than the prologue, yes?
Kuroshitsuji II (2010)
Mind-blowing Second Season!
THIS WILL HAVE SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN"T WATCHED THE FIRST SEASON. NO WAY AROUND IT, PEOPLE!!!!
So, the second season starts out where the last one left off- Ciel supposedly dead, Sebastien ready to devour his soul up like a particularly delicious piece of steak-
But wait- What's wrong with Ciel? His eyes are blank and empty- Someone else has taken his soul, before our sexy butler can dine upon it himself! Enter Claude Faustus and Alois Trancy. Alois, another young master of a rich household holding a demonic contract, this one to the glasses- wearing Claude. Claude is a mirror of Sebastien, except fighting with gold cutlery and the glasses. Alois however, couldn't be farther from the serious and composed Ciel. Alois delights in torturing his servants and causing everyone as much pain as possible. Well guess what? He wants Ciel, and what Alois wants, Claude gets. So Claude steals our favorite young lord's soul, and Ciel loses all of his memories! Thus is the setup for the second season. This season is only twelve episodes, and it crams as much as possible into those twelve episodes, no joke. it seems that every time I watched an episode, my brain exploded a little. A definite change from the more sedentary pace of the first season, but not a bad one. There's less attention given to the missions from the queen, and of the relationships of the other characters from the first season, mainly focusing on Ciel's inner psyche (and let me tell you, he's not all there). I'm a die-hard fan, and have been since I saw the first episode, and this storyline really resonated with me; I really did love this second season, and I really can't wait to see if the as-of-now-only- rumors third season is going to be a reality, because I will be all over that!
