Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Chapters: Special 2 (2023)
Don't expect anything and be blown away
Don't go into this with expectations for your own ending. From the very first episode of AoT you think you know where the plot is going, only to later to see the bigger picture. This finale is no different.
I wanted to especially give credit to the incredible music of this episode (and the series in general). I thought it perfectly captured the mood of the epic battles, as well as keeping the mystery and spiritual tone in line with the deep and magical conclusion of the plot.
Negative reviews appear too caught up on small details that they wanted to end differently. I think they were just too closed-minded going into the finale and had hoped for their own version of the end. I think this ending is incredible. Epic battles and spiritual story telling on a different scale.
The amazing writing pieced together so many complicated, mind-blowing elements in a way that nothing has ever tried before.
All or Nothing: Arsenal (2022)
Not as much insight as I'd hoped for
Yes this series is a good insight into a very interesting season, however some of the best parts of other All or Nothings are the clips where the manager and a player talk 1-on-1. We don't get very much of this in this series, with most interviews being formal questions directed from the producers of the show.
I was hoping to get a lot more insight into Artetas tactics. It is a shame because in most of the clips there is a whiteboard with player markers, but for some reason they never really (apart from maybe once or twice in 8 episodes) show Arteta moving these about or explaining a gameplan to the players before a big game. This is extra disappointing given a lot of the players talk about how good he is tactically.
This series for me felt limited to being mainly just motivational team talks, either in the dressing room or at a team meeting. If you're an Arsenal fan I'm sure this provides some very cool behind the scenes content, however for me it fell short of the sort of tactical insight I had been hoping for and seen in other All or Nothings.
