Steins;Gate (2011–2015)

Probably the best anime ever in terms of story

[10/10 · 9 January 2015]

I've seen many anime series and I've never written a review before, but after watching this show i felt I just had to.

When starting this series, I was initially confused as to what was going on, and even until almost midway, I was failing to see the point of the show, as nothing really exciting was happening (in my opinion). But in hindsight, this was necessary for character and story development, as around the midpoint, the show just exploded and from then on I was glued to screen. It might not have the best animation or the best music, but in terms of story and character, there is nothing like it (not even the mighty Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood compares, although it comes close).

This story and it characters will stay with me for a long time, and I highly encourage everyone to watch the series to its conclusion. You will not be disappointed.

Paranormal Activity (2007)

Don't watch this movie in the theatre

[7/10 · 11 November 2009]

If you really wanna have fun with this movie, watch it at home, preferably alone in a dark room, with good quality headphones on. The people in the theatre really ruin the experience, since quite a few of them were laughing or chatting or whatever.

If you like the average horror/slasher flick filled with blood and gore, and lots of loud bangs and weirdos jumping out of dark corners or stuff like that, this is not for you. The fear in this movie comes from the suspense, the feeling that something might happen any moment; in short, rather than just displaying a horror scene to you point blank, it simply provides a few hints and then lets your mind do the rest.

If you wanna truly enjoy the movie, I repeat, don't watch it in the theatre.
