Good show. You could never really tell who would die next, which really made it a bit nicer.

Clevatess
I found this anime randomly on youtube, so I was very surprised when it turned out to be good.
The animation is good.
The story is pretty great.
The main characters are not overpowered.
Some of the motivational lines are actually motivating while still managing to remain realistic.I’ll simplify the story. Clevatess is a dark beast lord, is incredibly powerful and is stationed one corner of the known/explored world.
Heros attempt to slay Clevatess and other dark beast lords so that they can venture further and expand the know world.
Clevatess annoyed by the humanoids (who are like ants to him) attacking him, decides to investigate. He takes a humanoid form and gets to know the humanoid world up close and personal.
We get to observe all of this through the eyes of a entity that knows little of the humanoids, like an alien just observing humans.
The MC does not act as the hero himself, if there is death, destruction, violence and injustice happening around him, he simply observes and does not interfere.Thankfully the world in question is shrouded in mystery and each new occurrence makes the world a little bit more interesting.

One of the best perhaps.
All thanks to Studio Orange.
They think CGI is the future of animation. Hard to refute, considering the stuff they’ve managed to put out.

Pluribus
The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.
It is not very good.
One aspect I’ve come to expect from most series coming out of Apple TV+ is that none of em really have much story to tell. They have a bit of story, it’s kinda interesting.. But they will use 9 episodes to show you story and character development that could have been done in 3.
I hear of a new type of TV series, one that is meant to be watched while you’re doing other work. Like cooking, cleaning, and other chores. In these shows, next to nothing will happen every episode, so you miss out on nothing, so we have no issue working as the series is playing in your headphones, not even looking at the screen. I was able to watch this series so quickly, because I was skipping through most of it. I assure you, I missed nothing of worth.
Several series I’ve seen on Apple TV have been as disappointing or worse. Another show ‘Alien Invasion’, episode 1 was quite interesting, there were crop circles and something was coming! Oooh! What could it be I wonder. And then absolutely nothing happens for the next two episodes.. A guy cheats on his wife.. Apple assumes I care? Where are the f*cking aliens!
I tried a few other shows on Apple TV, and then cancelled the subscription.
The actress actually got a Golden Globe! Great! The show is still poo poo.
The story is something a couple of friends would come up with at random like,
Person 1: “Yo bro, what if aliens took over, but here’s the twist they’re not trying to kill us. What if they’re super nice”.
Peron 2: “Yeah that’d be new, I guess..”
“Wouldn’t it be boring though?”
Person 1: “We’ll add a Karen to show the contrast or something?”
Person 2: “Suure..”
Dumb ideas like this should die here, not get onto Apple TV.
Is it better than Blumhouse?
It’s more effort than Blumhouse.. so we’ll give it a pass.
Character development was alright though.

Suzume
Slight spoiler:
The girl and the guy do not exactly end up together. They are seen meeting each other again at the end of the series, nothing more. Of course they couldn’t have gotten together, since the girl is still in school and the dude is a graduate student. The author could have made the female character be of age and not really take much away from the story, but they just had to stick a kid into the role. What is this obsession with kids?!
Great movie though.

Good show! Animation was not great, but the story more than made up for that.
This was produced by AMC+ by the way. AMC was the company short sellers keep telling you is dead, a meme stock, similar to GameStop. I was surprised to see that they had good shows like this.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
Tensei Shittara Slime Datta Ken was really good as a Manga, it’s pretty good as an anime too.
The later seasons involve a lot of politics, which is rather uncharacteristic for anime, but it does make the show more interesting. Though more characters fighting each other would have been appreciated, tsk.

I’ve only watched season 1 since it didn’t seen that interesting to me. Lots of people have told me the show uses cool science to make the anime interesting. But most science covered in S1 was nothing new, basic stuff you learn in school, didn’t really intrigue me.
