Superb acting and moments throughout this film. The best part of the movie is all of the therapy scenes in my opinion. Though the parts outside of it help build character and reveal more about Will, the most interesting and enjoyable parts are the therapy bits. Another great moment is when Chuckie tells Will about his opportunity. This movie actually made me think about being good at something, but not wanting to do it. Though, the movie doesn't really explore it that much because most of the exploring is done on Will and him opening up to others. There are some scenes with Sean and Gerald discussing all of these things, which I also found intriguing, but it stops there and never develops further. I mean I guess it does. Will finally takes his opportunity, but then at the very end throws it away. So, I am kinda confused about how all of that works out. The ending and movie itself are more about Will opening up to others instead of his opportunities and acknowledging his ability IMO. To me, the ending showed Will giving up his opportunity and friends and going all the way over to meet some girl he knew for a little. I guess Will could eventually come back and even get a job there, but it was weird. That is why I am overall confused with this movie. I probably didn't understand it too well, but that was my experience. Despite all of that, I found it very intriguing to think about these different aspects, and it was also a very well-made film.

Some wholesome moments in this episode, but again writing issues are here. How the fuck does Bojji do that??? I know they said earlier in the season but Bojji being the strongest person in the world makes it harder to root for him now because his underdog Story is basically gone. I’m glad the conflict didn’t continue in the basement and that there wasn’t any forgiveness from Bojji. When they’re eventually redeemed it will feel so bland though because they’ve really done nothing so far and it barely shows any effort from them except for begging. Like there’s hardly any questioning and reflection. Just pitying……..
7/10
Random confusion and battles and frustrating moments make this hard to enjoy at times. Also, Domas has been completely ruined for me. Firstly, there was hardly any development from him. They spent barely any time on him and everything feels rushed but the show is also slowly going. Bruh.
7/10
I loved Kage and Hiling meeting up it was very nice. I love the group that’s currently at the castle that are working together. Still, why can Hiling heal so much, it’s a little annoying and ruins the stakes. Also, that big guy was redeemed so fast for no reason even though he almost killed 2 of Bojjis friend like wtf??

Some more buildup
7/10
Liking the show less and less sadly :(
7/10
Probably my least favorite episode so far because Bojji is starting to seem less like an underdog and more overpowered. The reason why I rooted for Bojji so hard is because I thought there would be many struggles to come, but I just realized he will probably one shot from now on. Also his crying getting a little old ngl.
8/10
Great scenes here with Bojji, Kage, and Despa. I lost faith in Despa for a moment, but I loved seeing that he was not bluffing all along.
8/10
No Bojji this episode, but I still like the characters and their backstories! This is ganna start to get very sad when characters start dying... Hopefully that doesn't happen anytime soon.
8/10
What. A. Episode.
This makes me so fucking hype for everything to come. I see this becoming one of my favorite anime of all time after this episode because the story and characters are so deep and rich to me. So much complexity between the characters and so much emotion behind everything. I feel like I understand where every character comes from and their struggles. Bosse looked evil at first but seeing him do everything for Bojji and care for him is so nice, but it is kinda expected with the reveal that he took all his power. It makes me sad for Bojji, but it even pushes me further to root for him with everything he is going to fight for. I mean, he is now the strongest in the world even after losing all of that power. So much stuff is now being laid out for future events. This cast, this story, AHHHHGHGHGHHG. BOJJI, IM ROOTING FOR YOU!!!!
9/10
I love this trio so much, it feels like it’s going to be a sad thing when Bojji has to depart though. Judging by that end, this changing bodies has been going on for a while or something. It seems intriguing but confusing.
8/10
There’s so much more mystery in this show than I first expected
8/10
That final scene was heartbreaking even though Bojji wasn’t dead ;(
8/10
Domas the biggest fucker ever
8/10
Many Bojji is the goat

The backstory was so sad for Kage, it made me like him and appreciate him more. I’m excited for what’s to come!
8/10
My god I have a feeling I’m going to start crying a bunch
8/10
It was funny and interesting at times, but it is a huge mess that leaves nothing for me to love from it. Many stupid decisions, many annoying and unrewarding characters, and many confusing decisions regarding treating others in specific ways despite the way they just fucked you over. The way multiple cliches blend together with bad, very very bad writing. The attempt at a comedy horror fails at giving off a good vibe that matches. There are many things to drag this film despite its enjoyability at times. Not rewarding or intriguing really in any way either. It's left so ambiguous and mysterious that I don't feel like tackling any theories and the questions I had regarding the material are gone after 5 minutes. I will only remember this movie because I watched it with friends. Other than that, I genuinely feel I will confuse this movie with similar ones in the future. This mess is jumbled, incomprehensible somewhat just like this review that has things thrown around. I still can't give it anything less than a 4 though due to the scenario and times where the comedy and intrigue hit. Final final thing: The shaky camera was so fucking annoying it was hard to focus on anything, especially when used 100% of the time. And the forcing of it was obnoxious as they had to constantly take the camera for no fucking reason. Bruh.

This was actually a really fun movie to watch! It reminded me a lot of the Founder except the main character was definitely more enjoyable. I really liked how it had all of these aspects of business, politics, and gaming in one. Very intriguing and heartfelt too!

This show was super entertaining that I almost finished it in one day, but I needed to sleep eventually since I had school the next day.
The first episode started off like the movie Kick-Ass, which now has me itching for something very similar. Eventually, it turns into a funky isekai that is actually pretty cool. The anime truly embraces cliches and it is super self-aware. I really enjoyed all of the shenanigans and the acting from Cid and his dominance. However, I do have one big critique, and it is not necessarily with the show itself but in the ln/manga or whatever. Spoilers for ln/manga: That is how Cid never really develops. Now I'm not entirely familiar with this information as I only researched a little, but Cid barely cares for others. I find this a little annoying because I feel like it will eventually get repetitive, and it was already starting to get a tiny bit repetitive. . Overall, it was very entertaining, but obviously not a masterpiece or anything like that. It knows what it wants to be and delivers.

Edit: Since the anime got less interesting near the ending, I decided to lessen the score because I don't think it was deserving of an 8.
It was a pretty good show that honestly got slightly worse as it went on. It peaked around the beginning episodes, specifically where there was extreme tension trying to figure out who was evil and not and who was themselves and all of that. It was extremely unique in that regard, especially when it was mixed with the time loop aspect. It went from a gripping, tense mystery to an action show. It still was not bad, but I think it has missed potential. It might have been one of the best anime ever, but its drop in tension and quality around Episode 7 has me frustrated. I still think it was a very good experience overall. Overall, I enjoyed the characters and the story behind everything itself.

Wow, what a show this has been. I literally binged this entire show in less than a week, which is crazy. Not only is this a super entertaining show, but so many personal and touching moments spread throughout the season. Instead of going in-depth with each one, I will skim over each season and talk about the things I liked most about each season. Season 1: I love the focus on the trio of Maeve, Otis, and Eric for the first seasons. It had small subplots, but for the most part, the focus was on them. Eric and Otis's relationship was the best part of the season for sure, I love the both of them together so much. Every scene they're in together is charming, exciting, and fun. It is also the most consistent season in terms of quality as well. Season 2: This season expands the cast and explores them. I liked Rahim, though he was a bit emotionless and dry at times. It also has the peaks of the show for me, especially Adam (kinda) and Jackson's development. It was satisfying to watch him open up a lot more. He tried new things and opened up to his mom as well. I also love Jackson and Viv's friendship and when they hang out together. Aimee was another highlight of the season and she rules. Of course, Otis and Eric still have a fantastic friendship. Season 3: The highlights of this season were Adam and Michael for sure. I won't even lie when I say I teared up just a little at the very end for Adam. It was a small moment of victory, but I felt so proud of him for some reason. He was improving in so many areas throughout the entire season. I will say that I don't like Eric's behavior this season, but his friendship with Otis was still amazing. Speaking of Otis, I liked him a lot more this season. He felt way more mature, and I actually really enjoyed his small relationship with Ruby at the beginning. The Hope plotline was dumb.
Entire Show: To start with the negatives, I am not sure I like all the sex in it. Sometimes I think they go too overboard, but that does not really matter too much to me. I also think that the school itself is a little cliche sometimes. For example, people during the assemblies and all the bullying stereotypes. The stuff with Jean was repetitive and felt like the same plotlines were repeated throughout the first 3 seasons. I also think they introduce too many characters at times. Some characters I did not care for were Issac and Cal. I also didn't care for Ola and Lily, but I thought they were appropriate additions at least. For the positives, I listed a lot of them already, but I will revisit them quickly. Eric and Otis's relationship is the heart of the show. I also love the visitation of more characters in the seasons after the first as it helps flesh out all of the characters. Jackson and Adam are my two favorites in the show, and I love their development. I also really liked Maeve's story with her mom and all of those developments over the three seasons. By the end of season 3, Maeve ended up as one of my favorite characters. I think the characters are the best part of the show (duh), and they made me really connect with them. I also like the cinematography and all of the shots.
Anyway, with all of that rambling out of the way:
Season 1: High 8/10
Season 2: High 8/10
Season 3: Solid 8/10

I now have the first 2 seasons as low 9/10s, and the entire show as the same as well. I realized that this is an amazing show that deserves to be higher rated, so I changed it.
I liked the first episode it had a lot of action and cool moments. However, this entire premise is kinda dumb IMO. This premise and the main character made this episode a little annoying to get through.
7/10
NGL I was kinda hyped to watch a football anime, but this was a little disappointing. I do know that it will get better from here on out, so I am going to keep watching. Nothing really interested me, but I really hope it gets pretty exciting. Will see. I mean, it is the first episode.
The animation is a bit stiff, but I do not mind it that much. However, in future matches, I hope they show better shots and more fluidity.
5/10
Whiplash was a sweet surprise to me. J.K Simmons had good acting, and his character was honestly very funny. I do think some things are very random like the car crash scene. Other than that very good. The final sequence was also very intense and great too.

What the fuck just happened
Bro why the opening has so many spoilers
Spoilers!
One of the best MCU movies and one of my favorite movies in general. The thing is I have not even seen the Spiderman movies recently and forgot most of them. This was an awesome experience with great fights, moments, and emotional depth. This is truly where Spiderman begins in the MCU, and this was a great ending movie to the "origin" trilogy for MCU Spiderman.

Great episode with many interesting moments. The ending was awesome and I love the entire scene.

Good episode with a few uninteresting parts. Vi and Jayce are the 2 best characters so far and Jinx keeps on becoming worse for me.
