Encouragement of Climb (2013–2018)

A beautiful anime about cute girls, mountain trek, and youth
26 July 2022
If you, like me, love cute girls, mountain trek, and youth, this anime is for you. I've watched all 3 current seasons, and deeply loved the wonderful characters, the breath-taking sceneries, and loved every single minute of it.

It reminds me of the wonderful mountain treks I did a few years ago, and the relations between the girls makes you feel you're watching real, wonderful people with their feeling of youth and discover.

Remember also that every single location in this anime is accurately based on reality, so it's also a good chance to see how beautiful the japanese mountains are, and - who knows - if you're not yet passionate about mountain treks, to suddenly discover a new passion.

It reminds a lot about another anime, Yuru Camp, but focused on mountain treks instead of camping. And it's a great compliment, since Yuru Camp it's one of the best slice of life ever, with GochiUsa.

I'm really looking forward to Yama No Susume: Next Summit, the fourth season, which will air on October 2022. Also, Hinata-chan is the best girl, followed closely by Aoi and Kokona-chan.

Logan's Run (1976)

A crappy, dated movie
23 May 2022
This movies makes extensive uses of models that are super obvious and ridicoulous.

Actors are very cheap.

Scenes, like the Carousel one, are bordeline cringe.

The robot man is ridicoulous, it's just a guy in a box that moves around wobblying with a silver shiny face.

The only nice part is the old crazy man living with his cats.

Ah yes, also, the ending is rushed and makes no sense at all.

Spare yourself from this agony, and spend the corrisponding 2 hours in a better way, like sleeping.

I hope they burn all the films of this abomination.

Dance Dance Danseur (2022– )
10/10
Beautiful
13 May 2022
I really didn't think i would like an anime about ballet. Well, I was wrong, really, really wrong.

Technically speaking, it's a wonder for the eyes: the animations are astonishing, the expressions of the characters unforgettable. Mappa did it again!

The VAs did a great job too, I especially like Junpei's voice.

Our MC grows a lot in just the first episodes, and his transformation makes him really interesting, and one cannot not find himself in his shoes, finding out about ballet's world.

It's easily becoming one of the best anime of the season, it's a shame that more people don't even try to give it a chance.

Great movie (for a 8 year old)
14 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The plot of this movie is so silly, that I can imagine an 8 year-old saying during the movie things such: "Oh no! Don't do that, Spidey! They're bad guys!" The fun thing is, that kid would be completely right! The characters of this movie are so brainless that you expect them to have suffered some form of brain damage.

So, the plot brain waves are a complete flat line. But hey! Action scenes are fun, and they've found a way to recycle actors and characters from other Spider-man movies! Isn't it that great that they make old people work again, after 10-20 years from their last Spider-man movie?

TLDR: Plot looks like written by a chimpanzee, fun action scenes, and recycled actors from old Spider-man movies. Yes, that sums it up. I'm giving a 7, because it's important to give money to old people. One day, you'll be old too!

To LOVE-Ru (2008–2010)
7/10
Like "Urusei yatsura", but Ecchi!
5 March 2022
It's like "Urusei yatsura", but Ecchi and with a female lead less jaelous and more oppai, so it's better!

By the way, "TO LOVE RU" is also the name of the alien spaceships OS, and stand for: (T)echnlogy of (O)ver (L)evel (O)peration for (V)ery heavy command to (E)lectronic unit control Unit (RU)...RU!? RU RU (RUN)

Peak Ecchi.

Well, from where I start? It's embarassing, strange, perverted, and will make you expand your horizons. If you watch it, you'll remember for the rest of your life.

Kiss x sis (2010)

Peak Ecchi Stuff
8 February 2022
If you like perverted ecchi, then this is really top grade stuff. This anime is about a pair of brocon ecchi twin sisters who want to seduce their step brother, and spare no resource for it.

TV Series is ok (a part from a couple boring episodes), but OVA are legendary. If you watch the Karaoke episode, you will never forget it for the rest of your life. Before watching Kiss x Sis, I cannot even imagine perverted stuff like this. Thank you for expanding my horizons.

If instead you're a (boring) god-fearing little sheep, then go away and don't event watch it, because Jesus won't forgive you! :))). Please don't annoy us with useless reviews of stuff you don't understand and are not meant for you to watch, go back to watch superheroes movies and other 7-years old stuff like that. Thank you.

The Book of Boba Fett (2021–2022)

Boring
31 December 2021
Dull and boring, main characters are stupid and do nonsensical things. "The Mandalorian" was much better.

Only Star Wars fanboys can appreciate this.

Aiura (2013– )

Just 3 minutes per episode, but stellar humour.
18 December 2021
It's just 3 minutes per episode, but boy, how well time is used.

Every episode is memorable, humour is really stellar, every episode is a masterpiece.

Don't expect a plot, it's just a slice of life with very funny characters.

And the OP is a masterpiece too, I've seen a concert with dozen of thousands of people singing that song and waving lights together.

Not for everyone... but still you'll maybe find to enjoy it very much.
19 November 2021
Peek degeneracy here. No moral limits. Tortures, rapes, enslavement, drug addiction, people exploding... We have a really good story with a deep dive in the mind of a sadistic psycopath, and how he becames so. How he reasons, and why he does what he do. Also, in the progression of the story, you can start to see how he's changing. He (obviously) sees himself as a good person, and it's interesting how other people sees him, both the ones he brainwashed that the other people he manipulates.

If you can think to have enough guts to watch a story like this, and don't go running away screaming for all the horrible (really, really horrible) things that happens, then give it a try.

Obviously for a mature audience only, and maybe that is not enough.

Rami Malek is a blast, generic Bond movie for the rest.
12 November 2021
Well, after 25 movies it's always the same story. This one is a little sadder because Daniel Craig it's now a 50 years old with suspenders going around killing hundred of people. The last 15 minutes looks like a sort of "Time Crisis: the Movie".

Rami Malek on the other hand it's really something else, he's I think one of the best Bond villains ever.

Disappointed on the other hand for the really small part of Ana de Armas character. It's a shame.

Could be nice if there were any animation
7 October 2021
The story and the characters may be interesting, but the total lack of animation is a NO GO for me. If you haven't got the budget to do a proper anime, please don't, you're just wasting people time.

I cannot understand how some one greenlighted this idea. If you're interested, read the manga.

Boring, Slow, Sad.
20 August 2021
Dated plot with added modern boringness. It's impossible to stay awake, and when you do, you'll see nothing happening, in a depressing setting. Watch it only if you were born in the IX century.

Tokyo Revengers (2021– )
9/10
Best Anime of 2021
14 August 2021
This is like One Piece, but with gang delinquents in modern day Tokyo, and without the funky characters or the repetitive plot.

Also, when someone cries, this time there's a real reason you can connect to. The story that unfolds will hit you like a truck.

So, MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER.

First Season ok, but the second...
6 August 2021
Absolutely lovely and hilarious main character, surrounded unfortunately by a dozen of indistinguishable, stereotyped and useless other characters. If you like me watch season 2 after a few months from season 1, you won't even remember their names or who they are.

The first season is ok, because there's a plot, but the second is awful, because there's no plot at all (and unfortunately it's not a slice of life anime), so they decided to rehash part of the first season throwing in another half dozen of random useless and indistinguishable characters. This only make things even worse. It became like "War and Peace" by Tolstoj, but withot the good story, interesting characters, or the war!

It became so boring and unwatchable that I abandoned this anime.

Fresh and fun Harem anime
6 August 2021
Fresh, modern and absolutely hilarious harem anime. All the characters are absolutely top notch and far from the boring stereotypes of the genre. This is the only harem anime with a real harem, it's something never head of!

The protagonist, our boy Naoyia, it's a mixture of genuinity and honesty taken to the extreme consequences. All the girls are well characterized and developed, and you cannot not also fall yourself for all of them.

For sure, best anime comedy of the year 2021.

Barely watchable, but just because action sequences are so ridicolous that look fun
31 July 2021
Oh well, where to start:
  • the plot makes no sense at all. But that was the same for all the rest of the franchise, so it's not even a major complaint.


  • main characters after so many movies from street racers became the Avengers. Still don't get why or how is even possible
  • the laws of physics are being made a constant joke. Always have been in this franchise, but this gets even worse in this movie (not an easy feat!)
  • being a main character makes you invulnerable, so you never ever get even a bruise or a scratch. 30 people can shoot you from all around, or you can have an horrible car crash with no air bags and car turning upside down, but you're always as fresh and clean as after a good shower. This becomes so ridicolous that during the movie this becomes a running joke.


  • when there's no action scenes, you'll get so bored that you'll fall asleep. Luckily, non-action parts last 10 minutes at most.


So:
  • non-action parts of the movie: 0/10
  • action parts of the movie: 8/10


Since I made it to the end of the movie, and I didn't run away before the ending, I'm giving 6/10, which means "barely watchable, but just because action sequences are so ridicolous that look fun".

Black Widow (2021)

So boring, that I didn't manage to reach the end ot the opening credits.
11 July 2021
Man, this movie is so generic (meaning, identical to thousands of others) that I could actually predict every single scene. 10 minutes on this are too much, time it's better spent cleaning the bathroom.

Super 8 (2011)
6/10
Start greats, then progressively turns into a giant-clichè.
25 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
First half hour is great, feels like Stranger Things, then progressively all the clichè for these kind of films starts kickin in (like mad scientist that in the basement of the school hides precious secret tapes where he explained Area 51-like stuff) and in the last 30 minutes what could have been a great movie turns in a sort of sad "ET. Phone. Home".

The last ten minutes are the worst, and made me take away another star from the rating.

A missed opportunity. What a shame, the kids were great, for sure the best part of the movie.

Star Trek: Lower Decks (2020–2024)

Total garbage
10 October 2020
I really cannot understand how someone can think that this show, which basically is like The Griffins in the Star Trek universe, could make any sense. I love Star Trek, I hate The Griffins style of humour, and I think this show should have never existed in the first place. It's total garbage, and an insult to the Star Trek franchise.

Bright (I) (2017)

Much better than anticipated
14 August 2019
This movie is an original mix between a buddy-cop movie and a fantasy movie. Strangely, it works pretty well: the characters are well defined, and Will and Joel do an amazing job. The OST is awesome too. It has a strange felling though: it looks like the pilot episode for a new tv series (and honestly, it may be a really good one).

Naive, misogynist and pathetic silly old movie
19 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
An old movie, with very naive plot and characters. Non anglosaxon characters are represented in a caricatural way: we have the evil tricky italians, Brandikans (people living in the fictional Central Europe country in which the movie is set) are either simpletons or corrupt or plain evil. Anglosaxons on the other hand are just brave heroes. The most hideous thing about this movie is the way women are represented: it's very, very, very misogynist, to a super-embarassing level. It will be unthinkable to have a movie like this in today cinema.

I hope that movie like this will be forever erased from humanity common memory.
