Miraculous - Le film (2023)
A major upgrade
I was honestly scared when I first watched the film because I'm not a fan of musicals, but it worked! I can honestly say I enjoy the film a lot more than I do the series simply because of how Ladybug and Chat Noir are portrayed together as close-to-equals even with Ladybug shining more by being the leader. "Stronger together" as they say! They have so much depth, they compliment each other perfectly, and the slight changes in the lore were very complementary to the characters in my opinion! Master Fu was also utilized way more efficiently than in the show, and it is refreshing to see. My only critiques are that when we switch to the songs, it's obvious that other people are singing, especially in Marinette's case. I would have rather seen her original voice actor (Cristina Vee) sing. My other comment is the lack of development Adrien and Marinette got together as opposed to their superhero counterparts, but this is only one movie out of a trilogy as I've heard, so I can't wait to see what happens next! A great retelling of the story and in my opinion what the series should have been from the start. Thank you to all the crew for their hard work!
NieR: Automata Ver 1.1a (2023)
Mind-blowingly good
At first, I watched this not expecting to like it as much as I did, since the concept of machine lifeforms and post-apocalyptic worlds aren't concepts that usually interest me. The first few episodes were rhythmic and follow the same pattern, so I wasn't hooked but I also (surprisingly) wasn't bored. Then, once the story starts fleshing out from episode 3 and above, I wasn't able to look back!! It's phenomenal. Highly recommend this even if apocalyptic-like scenarios aren't your cup of tea. The characters are so easy to love, the story is complex and intriguing, the plot is hard to predict, the animation is gorgeous, and the opening is amazing! 10/10 from me.
