What the fuck just happened
Damn. This is unfair as it's an hour long, but that is the best first episode of any show. EVER. Anime, regular shows, whatever, it is 100% the best. There is so much good in it. I'm going to touch on the first hour only for starters. Endearing characters that engage you in this series are alongside some magnificent animation. Production is insanely high on this anime, and it is some of the best I have also ever seen. The sound is also fucking fantastic. The little dynamics between certain characters like the siblings or the director and Aqua are great. There is so much that is served on the platter already off the bat in terms of enjoyment. It is amazing, but it also leaves everything up for future episodes to take over and deliver even more; essential for a first episode. It's already around a 9 for the rating. But the last 20 minutes push it further into a staple. An impactful death sets up new goals for our 2 characters and for so much potential. It was emotional, maybe not as impactful to me personally as many other episodes of anime or 10s that I gave, but it was impactful. But, despite my mixed feelings on whether it was a 9 or 10, I'm going to focus on what it provided as a whole. Sorry for this rambling mess, but I just wanted to jot down a bunch of stuff. I mean I also got goosebumps near the end for what was to come. This series can do so much. God, it is exciting. I really hope it dives deeper into the entertainment industry while still having that mystery in the background. I mean, with this 1 hour and a half-episode, it was basically an entire movie. So much greatness and potential to come for this series. Mystery, characters, story, and a lot more will set this up to be a potential anime of all-time contender. It'll be very, very hard to go up from here.

Amazing episode. Did not expect so many to die in that situation. I feel like some points were coincidental and stupid. Like how most of those purple tubes were not broken which allows for some stuff like Vander’s transformation. Other than that I’m just amazed. It surely can’t get better than this.
Damn this episode did really have everything. It was really good start to finish and the stakes are high as fuck. INVINCIBLE!
Wow. That was much better than expected. The first scene was so tragic and terrible. The “monster” type of thing is a little overdone, but it was really impactful. The other scene when she saved the girl was also really good. The students aren’t also as evil as I thought they would be. Even the Golden Boy had human in him. The ending was also very intense, and I was genuinely worried what would happen at that point. The entire death scene and chase was genuinely super intense, maybe even more than most scenes in The Boys. I’m very excited to see where this goes next.

Great episode with many interesting moments. The ending was awesome and I love the entire scene.
This show was a ride. I am not going to touch on every season because I do that for every season basically. In fact, I might even keep this review on the shorter side compared to my other reviews. I just wanna spill out my general thoughts. First, I will kinda touch on the seasons. The first was the best, and it focused on the main cast of the show. The second, however, does not falter at all. It is very close to the first season and has the higher highs. I just think some of it was a bit rough. Third season has really bad and really good moments. The final season, didn't hit a single high in the show, but it hit tons of lows. None were horrendous, but when compared to the other seasons, comes off as very disappointing. As the show went on, the focus on too many characters made it very flawed. I think the first 2 seasons focused on a good amount of characters. Then season 3 focused on like fifty more, which was worsened in season 4. Sometimes the sexualness of the show is a bit offputting, but it doesn't take away from the overall experience. I absolutely adore character dynamics like Otis and Eric, and I also love other characters like Adam and Jackson. Maeve was also very good and I liked seeing her and Aimee interact. Also, Ruby was so fucking good in the last 2 seasons. I love the development of characters and the characters themselves on this show. I will never forget this show, despite its disappointing end.

"How am I supposed to heal if I cant feel time?"
Wow. This movie is one of the best I have seen in a while. First, the format of this movie is geniuinely insane. It's not good because it is complicated. The entire way things are set up helps create tension and bits of info. The tension in that one scene where he had his arm tattooed to not answer the phone... It is also good because it not only fits with what is happening and the themes, but it also makes for some great reveals and moments. For example, when Natalie is manipulating Lenny because she knows she can. It made my jaw drop and actually furious. The movie also made me pity Lenny so bad. It was very difficult for me to watch him deal with all the bullshit. The fact he was also being used by two different parties against each other was also insane. The entire story itself is also tragic when you realise he tried to force himself to believe his wife was killed by somebody. He tried to get rid of this guilt, but he ended up making himself believe that somebody had killed his wife. It was fucking devastating. He tried to convince himself he didnt kill her in some way, but with that came his own delusions forcing him onto a dangerous path where he ended up murdering people and fucking up his life and others' lives. The movie was also gripping due to this constant movement and pace building up. It made for a very enjoyable journey. If I have to say one thing that disappointed me, it was the ending. The ending is still good, but it also left me wanting more. I know adding more to the movie wouldn't have made much sense. However, it still made me mad that Lenny went off course, though he did it to himself when he lied to himself once again. This could eventually cause his life to derail even more, but it was still sad to see. Another extra little thing I wanna talk about is memory and how memory is a very dangerous part of humans as many things can be misremembered. I can really relate to this as a lot of the reviews I write are to remember how I felt about the thing right after instead of romanticizing certain things over time. Overall, what I will remember this movie for: The tragic story of Lenny. The perfectly structured story and its unique way of portraying events and using Lenny's condition. Finally, the gripping part of piecing together different information and thinking about how each information was given to Lenny (questioning every piece of info he had). It was a great movie that is super unique and will be pondering on for some time.

This movie is an amazing movie with lots of detail and heart put into every part. I'm going to get the first, undeniable thing out of the way. The animation, art, details, voice acting, and similar things are all 10/10. They are fucking brilliant. Many unique art styles; when Gwen hugged her dad and her world became much brighter, it made me smile. I liked a few new characters like Miguel and Hobie, though I felt they were not explored much. We have a brief insight into Miguel, so I personally don't think he is an amazing character or anything. The two stars of the show here are Gwen and Miles. I really liked the intro with Gwen, and I liked her as a character in this film. However, there were points where I was pissed at her and her decisions, but at the end of the movie, I come to see her ways. Miles was incredible in this film, and the best character. I really liked the entire idea of him challenging fate and fighting for his own life; "I'm gonna be myself". This writing of having the fucking multiverse against him and an entire group of spidermen against him was awesome. It was him versus everybody, and he managed to escape. He could have disappeared during that entire chase scene, but whatever. I really loved the part on the rocket against Miguel where he was the original anomaly. He was never supposed to be bitten. It was very interesting, but it shows how he got to the point where he is. I love how his entire thing of being himself, which I am guessing is a part of Miles and his character since I played the PS5 game, is connected to the multiverse and anomaly stuff. This Miles was never even supposed to be a Spiderman. He was supposed to be a regular guy, or maybe even turned into the Prowler. Anyway, I am basically saying Miles and his role as a person who challenges fate was my favorite part of the movie honestly. Eventually, he gets sent to the wrong dimension, which is a cool concept. At the end of the movie, it is implied (I think) that Gwen realized the canon can be broken. Her dad quit being a captain, so I am pretty sure Miguel's entire thing is wrong. How was the universe Miles set in also not sestroyed. I know they say that is why the other Spiderman died or whatever, but I still think Miguel's assumption is wrong. Anyway, the biggest flaw for the movie in my opinion was the ending. I didn't feel satisfied or hyped, I felt disappointed. At least the movie won't come out in 5 years. Before I say one last thing, I also want to mention how this actually felt like a sequel since a lot of things like Spot and Kingpin's interactions affected the future. It actually felt like there were consequences. Speaking of Spot, it was cool how he became more powerful overtime. Finally, I wanted to point out why my enjoyability score was low (for this movie at least). That is because, well, I didn't enjoy watching the movie as much as I did when compared to other movies. I really wanted to like the movie more in parts, but I don't know why I did not. This could be because there were annoying kids and a fucking baby at my screening. The kids were yelling and making noises at some parts. Maybe a rewatch would change that, but for now, I'm leaving it.

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!!!!

Ruby and Otis have such great chemistry and I really liked Ruby this episode. Adam and his dad are also having great scenes. I don’t know if I like this new friend group Eric has.
Man I feel bad for Ruby she deserves better than Otis. Also, the Adam scene where he was smiling on a horse. YES!!!! Otis and Aimee are such a likable duo that I also wished they used more in the previous seasons.
Ik there was a similar scene in season 3, but the protest scene felt so corny. I was liking it for a sec until they all started to do cringy ass clapping. Also, I liked the Maeve and Jean scenes. Very touching and wished that happened way earlier instead of right before the end. Also liked the Adam scene.
Sam interacting with Emma was actually a nice little part of the episode I enjoyed. I don’t know how they always get in that staircase area so easily though surely the guards are not getting paid enough or something??
The more that gets revealed about Luke the more I wish he lived.
Ayyy that was pretty good. Really hyped to see where the story ends up going. I really liked the characters this season and the emotions were high. I really like Mark and how he is developing. The multiverse stuff really irks me, but it seems like its done so lesgo.
That was a good episode, but the ending makes me so confused on how this will be wrapped up in just 2 episodes. There is the Rick/Donald plotline, the Amber breakup plotline, the mad scientist stuff, the brother of Mark, the Nolan execution and Viltrumite meeting council thing, and the sceptid or whatever they're called.
The tribals are so fucking intense, definitely the best part of the episode every time. Hunter should have used his idol :/
This season is great so far I’m just worried that this is the last season and it’ll feel super rushed at the end. This doesn’t feel like the last season at all. Anyway, all that aside, I like some of these new friendships we have. I’m also starting to like Cal a bit which I didn’t expect since I didn’t like them last season. Also I could not tell Abbi was trans.
Edit: It has been 5 months since I saw the first 3 seasons, but I just realized Otis lost a lot of his maturity. Not sure why he has, so that is an issue I have.

Good episode with some new interesting plot lines. I still feel like some of the backstory for Jinx was a bit forced and meh.
I really like the dynamic and differences between the two characters. One is focusing on having the best time of their life while the other is so preoccupied on surviving their life (very similar to working a job and not doing fun stuff). I really love the themes here and the characters so far are awesome.
8/10
The best episode of the show so far that makes me way more attached to the characters. Boyd is now my favorite. That backstory was rough, it was super insane. I’m wondering where Victor went? Maybe they’ll find him in the Forrest or somethin
8/10
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.

I liked the Allen parts and the mole part of it. Idk why that guy is the mole but ♂. Also, the ending was pretty good. Idk if Omni Man has changed much but we will see.
This episode was actually very funny. I also enjoy this reality dating show part and seeing how Aqau reacts to it. Ruby and Kana are also goats, especially Pieyon.

THAT WAS THE MOST UNEXPECTED VOTE I HAVE EVER SEEN. WHAT??!!
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. The voice acting was superb this season and ruled. The emotions Steven Yeun was able to portray, man. I felt like this was a lot more emotional and personal than the first season, which has me putting it above the first season. I do think the first season had the best overall cohesive story and conclusion, but the dud episodes in there brought it down (granted I skipped episode 2 of this season). Angstrom Levy was only in like 2 episodes, so having him be the final episode villain wasn't satisfying since he wasn't built up much. His story was still cool, but it did not compare at all to the first season's finale.
Mark's character arc of trying to not be his father was cool and seeing Debbie deal with the aftermath was also neat. Amber was much better this season, but I am still glad that Amber and Mark are no longer together. Mark seems like he is going to finally start focusing on being a superhero, and things look like they are going to start going DOWN.
Another thing that was a bit annoying was all the stakes in the one episode that had Kate and the shrinking girl die were completely taken away as everybody was revived. It was annoying for me because the stakes and shock made that the best episode season. Nevertheless, I can see Invincible becoming one of my favorite shows as time goes on.

I wish Luke directed more anger towards Marissa instead of Ryan. Also I loved Seth and the other girl this episode, let’s go Seth! Also that dad bonding moment with the games was awesome.

A nice ending to this arc. I liked the romance/drama part of this, and I wonder if Akane will still be shown a lot throughout the rest of the show. I'm not a big fan of Aqua though. I kinda feel he is a bit cringe at times. One moment I like him. Next, he's using people as tools, like wtf XD. That's why I probably like Ai, Kana, Ruby, and Akane more than him. Hopefully, he gets character growth soon.
