TV: Sherlock (Series 1)

The famous Sherlock Holmes is back at it again on your television screen! Or at least he was... Sherlock has since been completed back in 2017 but is still available on Netflix for your viewing pleasure. Now, Sherlock is a modern adaptation of the infamous Sherlock Holmes and his trusty companion, Doctor John Watson. Each season is only three episodes long each. Three. So I will try to keep things short and to the point.

Anime: The Promised Neverland by Kaiu Shirai (Season 1)

This anime is absolutely phenomenal! I had watched this anime sometime last year, after AnimeNEXT 2019, an anime expo that happens in Atlantic City, New Jersey annually. At the time, I didn't know the anime had released for this series, I was only reading the manga. When I had gotten to the convention and saw all the cosplayers dressed as the characters from The Promised Neverland by Shirai Kaiu, I knew at that moment, as soon as I got home from AnimeNext, I would binge through the whole season in like two days. 

Which, evidently, I did. I had watched through the whole season and checked it off of my completion list for anime and manga, but this was all before I had started this blog. I have now rewatched the whole season in preparation for season two, which will be releasing January 2021, only in a few months, 'casue as of right now it is November! I am very excited for the second season to release, especially since I enjoyed the manga very much.

TV: Game of Thrones (Season 1)

So, I know I'm kind of late, reviewing this and all, but I do want to do it. Game of Thrones is a show that took America by storm, and Britain I think, not too sure on that one. It was such a big show during my time in high school and even still when I was in college, which wasn't that long ago. I was caught up until season eight, at which point I didn't have cable or anything so I missed out on all the events that took place. 

Unfortunately, I heard that the last season was absolutely dreadful and that I shouldn't even bother... So I'm going to watch it anyway! I am a completionist at heart and once I start something, like a book or a show, I am compelled to finish it. I am going to die watching both Supernatural AND Criminal Minds I hope you know that, all for you guys and my own entertainment. 

So, since my local library has all the seasons on DVD, thank the gods, I will be rewatching the first seven seasons and then the eighth for the first time. You guys will be getting my first reactions and thoughts to the season because I try very hard to keep myself spoil free when I want to read or watch something, so I have NO idea what is going to happen in season eight. I don't even have an inkling of a clue. 

TV: The Good Place (Season 4)

 

We are in the final stretch! Season four of The Good Place! This is the absolute final season of the series. Honestly, the journey these guys have gone through these last few years have gotten me emotionally attached. Severely so. This is a very emotionally charged season, not just because it is the last one, but because of the story that takes place. 

TV: The Good Place (Season 3)

 

We have finally made it to season three of The Good Place! Yay! This is where things start getting, kind of, really intense. The four humans are alive and well on Earth now, including Michael and Janet. Yes, those two also made their way down to Earth, after The Judge found out that Michael had gone down more than the initial one time to save the humans' lives, continuing his interference. Anyways, the four are back on Earth and it has been about a year since they almost died.

TV: The Good Place (Season 2)

The Good Place season two! We have made it through the perils and humour of the first season, now we shall follow our heroes while they try and defeat the demon named Michael. We left the four humans with their memories reset and Michael on attempt number two, using psychological torture instead of physical torture.

TV: The Good Place (Season 1)

I have been debating for quite a while whether or not I was going to start doing reviews on TV shows I've watched and decided to just start with this and see how it goes. The series just recently ended with its fourth season earlier this year, and with that finally releasing on Netflix, I have recently finished watching the whole series! Anyways, we are going to start with season one and make our way through the rest of the seasons in the coming weeks. 

The series revolves around six characters: Eleanor Shellstrop, Chidi Anagonye, Tahani Al-Jamil, Jason Mendoza, Michael, and Janet. It starts off with Eleanor waking up in an office waiting area and Michael coming out to greet her, having her come into his office. He informs Eleanor that she is dead and that she has arrived in The Good Place. Soon, he shows her around the neighborhood, her house, and her soulmate, Chidi, a philosophy professor. As soon as Michael is gone, Eleanor confides in Chidi that she doesn't belong there, chaos then ensues... 

K-Drama: Possessed

I have decided on branching out a bit beyond just talking about anime and manga and talk about some other things I have been watching since this pandemic started. So... I have started to delve into the K-Dramas that are available on Netflix! This is not my first time watching K-Dramas but it is the first time I get to talk about the ones I have seen, solely due to the fact that I don't have many friends that enjoy K-Dramas as much as I do. 

Moving right along, this Korean drama centers around Kang Pil-Seong, a detective in the Violent Crimes unit at the Sangdong Police Station and Hong Seo-jeong, an online clothing store owner and extremely powerful psychic. These two meet and their fates become entwined with one another, especially after Hwang Dae-du, a serial killer that had been executed over twenty years ago, is resurrected and starts killing again... 

Anime: The Seven Deadly Sins by Nakaba Suzuki (Season 1)

This highly popular anime, The Seven Deadly Sins by Suzuki Nakaba, has finally hit my eyeballs! The third princess of Liones, Elizabeth, goes on a journey to seek out a team of criminals, the Seven Deadly Sins, who were the strongest Holy Knights in the kingdom, until they tried to usurp the throne. Now the Holy Knights have taken over the kingdom in the king's place and Elizabeth is trying to put a stop to them. 

Anime: 7 Seeds by Yumi Tamura (Season 2)

This anime is amazing right now and I cannot wait for the third season to release already when the second only came out earlier this year! I binged through this season as well as the first and let me tell you, things have gotten really interesting! The first episode starts the second where the last episode of the first season left off. There's no time skip or anything! If they didn't break this up into two separate seasons, season two came out a whole year after season one, I would've been satisfied with it just being one consecutive season. Nevertheless, this season keeps you on the edge of you seat, keeping you where season one left you. 

Anime: 7 Seeds by Yumi Tamura (Season 1)

I've been binge watching these small twelve episode animes in a day for a little while now and this one takes the cake! This is the third one that I've binged so far, the other two being Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?! and No Game No Life. Now in comparison to the other two, this has a completely different feel to it, not at all related to games in any sort of way! It's actually a post apocalyptic anime where Earth is not how you remember it and try to survive and make the place inhabitable again.

Anime: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? by Fujino Omori (Season 1)

This was the anime that opened new doors, relatively speaking. Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? by Omori Fujino was not how I thought it was going to be at all. I really really like it, which honestly surprised me. When this had first come out, it became popular instantly and due to that, it turned me off. It's been five years since the first season released and I watched it for the first time! 

Anime: Kakegurui XX by Homura Kawamoto (Season 2)

         

I know that I was going to hold off on season two, but I ended up with the urge to see what happens next, so I binged season two. This season picks up right where season one left off. The last episode of season one deviated from the manga, but this season puts it right back on track. 

Anime: Kakegurui by Homura Kawamoto (Season 1)

This thrilling, gambling anime has everyone sitting on the edge of their seats. I had to rewatch this to refresh my memory of everything but it's as good as I remember it being. The story centers around Hyakkao Gakuen, a prestigious private school full of rich kids and the more money you have the greater your status in the school, also did I mean that you have to be a great gambler too? All the students in the academy gamble, it's a pastime for them and it also can help them achieve a greater status with their peers with the accumulation of their winnings...

Anime: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotoge (Season 1)

Quarantine is still underway as I write this, darn you COVID-19! Before everyone closed their doors, this series had caught my eye in Barnes & Nobles, especially seeing that it was getting really popular in the online world, I'm looking at you Karuta. I had picked up the manga and read the first four or so volumes in store and it had peaked my interest, but not as much as some other series I was currently reading. At the time, I couldn't tell why it was so popular. Was it really just because of this kid trying to save his sister or was there more to it? 

Anime: Children of the Whales by Umeda Abi (Season 1)

As we are are in quarantine, it has given me a lot of time to catch up of some anime that I've missed recently. These are crazy times right now as I am typing this up, for this post is going to be up weeks after I have finished typing it! I hope you are all still safe when you read this because I can't see the future. Stay inside and watch some anime or read some manga! If you're reading this blog I would hope you like to do one or the other. Moving on, we are going to get right into this review! 

I have heard a great many things about this anime and boy, they weren't wrong! This anime is a relatively new one, available on Netflix by Netflix. It's a coming-of-age, fantasy, adventure centered around a ship called the Mud Whale and going-ons that happen. 

Anime: My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi (Season 1)

The anime that's taken the nation by storm, My Hero Academia has become such a phenomenon here in the US since it's release and it doesn't seem like it's going to be slowing down any time soon. Originally the hype put me off of this series myself. It just isn't interesting to me when something is really hyped up to the extreme, I usually wait a while so that people calm down then get into reading and watching it. Season four of this series has come out but I'm still only watching season two, if I catch up that's great, but that's not my goal. Moving on, this review will be focusing on season one since I haven't finished season two just yet. 

Anime: Assassination Classroom by Yusei Matsui (Season 1)

I know that all my posts up until now have been all manga reviews, but now I've finally had the time to do an anime review! An amazing shounen anime that any otaku who loves comedy and action, with a great mysterious story line will fall in love with instantly! I know for a fact that I loved it. I had first heard about this when I was on YouTube watching videos of others' manga collections, it made me totally pity my really empty shelf, and this title was on about 90% of these people's shelves, so I decided to look it up. Lo and behold, the mangaka, Matsui Yusei, was someone whose work I had read before, Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, which I loved also, so I decided to give it a try.
