    My favorite thing about this film is that the audio balancing is so terrible during dialogue that at a normal volume it can feel like a silent movie between very loud action, which honestly feels pretty unique. Also the dynamic camera movement at the start of each fight is SO cool, and choreography across the board is NUTS

    Really enjoyed this one. Was really cool to hear the director talk a bit before the showing, the cast and crew did an incredible job with such a small budget. Its such a visually stunning experience, and its take on grief and time as horror elements was compelling! I keep thinking about how beautifully dark the water looks in the last 30 minutes or so. Cape Cod has never looked so menacing

    The finale to a show that has no problem sexualizing 14 year old kids! I get that not every story needs a redeemable protagonist but this one is especially repulsive. The interesting world building does nothing to redeem the pointless christian imagery and predatory characters whose actions serve no greater purpose in the plot.

    People will try to tell you it’s deep; its not any deeper than other animated shows you might see. Sexualization of young girls stains the entire series and especially this installment.
