It's loving wierd, just makes me want to rewatch the original.

The good parts are that the fight choreography is actually really fun, and the effects are hit and miss but they do a really good job interacting with the live performers to help sell it. The sets and the general world building they've done is pretty cohesive. Kuwabara is still the best, that actor gets it.

The bad parts are the choices they made with most of the characters who aren't kuwabara, and they cut A TON of plot beats out.

Unforgivable sins:they turned the rescue of heie's sister into the dark tournament. All the big character stuff that happens there now happens in the fights with the three mooks guarding her, and they spend a day with genkai before toguro kills her. They even go as far as to have toguro die at the end so it feels like a wierd one-off ova or something. If they do another season it would go right into the season 3 stuff. No big stadium, no crowds, no cat girl announcer, none of that poo poo.

its so stupid they didnt just do s1 as th first couple arcs, retrieving the divine artifacts, urameshi gettin trained, end wth the four beasts and the suzaku fight. theyve adapted like 2/3 of the series already lol. anyway its fine but unnecessary nd the manga/anime are 10000x better

That’s disappointing. The main reason One Piece wasn’t a fat turd was it was just an adaptation of East Blue and they didn’t skip any of the main emotional beats.

Godzilla Minus One: fantastic, both epic kaiju action and really well done family drama/sociopolitical commentary rolled into one epic package

long plane flight:

Mr. Inbetween (season 1) - really good. funny as hell, not one bit of fat on it

The Nightingale - it couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a ludicrous B-movie revenge fantasy or a serious discussion of misogyny and the British Empire, and tried to split the difference at every step. The three separate endings perfectly illustrate the point: one showing the impossibility of justice for subalterns; one saying explicitly, like out loud staring into the camera, that you just gotta kill the bad guys; and a vapid denouement with the sun rising on an Aboriginal doing a ritual dance and an Irish woman singing a pub trad number. It's addressing colonialism, misogyny, racism, and The English all at once at about the same level that that one high school dance group addressed 9/11

The Royal Tenenbaums - maybe The Nightingale put me in a bad mood, but this just didn't seem as sharp as anything else Wes Anderson (or Owen Wilson) ever wrote. A comedy with about eight laughs, five of which are in the opening montage.

When Tsuchibana was going over the instructions on how the plane operates and told Koichi he had to pull the red lever to arm the bomb i thought they were setting up a fakeout where he was tricking him into ejecting so he wouldn'thave to see another comrade die in a futile manner. The way they explained later and koichi overcoming his own desire to die was so much better, i cant believe we got a Godzilla movie where the human parts not only don't suck but are really well written character pieces

yeah that owned, i thought he was going to kamikaze but held out the hope he'd swerve until the first plan failed, was pleasantly surprised by what the third option turned out to be. my dad picked up on foreshadowing i missed too since i was watching it with him, with Noda's pre-plan speech including the mention of planes without ejection seats. it's insane how i was equally invested in the humanity half along with the Godzilla half of the movie. just so good
