  Nimona 2023

  ★★★ Watched 05 Feb 2025

  Really fresh story, but overall, it just didn’t do the best job for me. I wasn’t really attached to the characters because of how unbalanced their development felt.

  Mitchells vs. The Machines is a perfect example of how heartwarming character chemistry can save even the most cliché and predictable storytelling. Nimona just lacks those sweet, memorable characters that make you actually care.

  Frieren: Beyond Journey's End 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 18 Jan 2025

  This is undoubtedly one of the best pieces of media I’ve seen. I would probably keep rewatching it as long as I live.

I didn’t expect to find myself hoping the story of an autistic character wouldn’t end, but I did. The perfect pacing gave me chills, especially as someone who loves both adventure and slice-of-life genres.

  Great example of how a horror movie can be an emotional rollercoaster if it’s well written.
