Lu Over the Wall (2017)

Like a more entertaining Ponyo

[8/10 · 29 August 2020]

I thought of Ponyo when I heard of this and I saw Ponyo earlier this month. I saw them compared a lot online and in reviews.

They have initial similarities but that's about it. They are vastly different. This story focuses more on music and the mythology of the mermaids. It's a lot more fun and crazy. Ponyo is more serious and heartfelt. The animation gets really trippy at times but it's fun. Great catchy music and an all around good time. See it!

Harley Quinn (2019– )

Great show but too much profanity and gore without purpose.

The characters and writing are good. The story is good and the voices are good. Problem is the unnecessary amount of cursing and gore that is so over the top it's stupid. I don't mind tasteful amounts but this was akin to the Sausage Party movie. It adds nothing and takes away from the well crafted narrative. Some people like that but I personally think that's more for Family Guy level of low brow writing.

One Piece - Episode of East Blue: Luffy and His Four Friends' Great Adventure (2017 TV Movie)

Great retelling of the first 5 Straw Hats.

It skips over a lot but it gets to the point and it's a great refresher of the original 5 Straw Hats, it's broken into 5 parts each highlighting the Straw Hats in order of appearance and joining.

Star Wars: Resistance (2018–2020)

Much better than originally perceived.

Don't listen to all the haters and elitists below. The characters are fun, the stories aren't bad and the plot grow on you. The animation style is different but not bad at all. The series is not what I thought it was going to be (a dumbed down kids show about racing). It's much deeper than that and involves the First Order and Poe Dameron with BB8 (which is reason enough to watch for that spunky droid).

I look forward to each new episode.
