The Faceless Lady (2024)
Great experience so far!
Came upon it by chance and really liked the first two episodes! The sense of presence is magnified by the impeccable 3D environments, which are rich in detail and atmospheric lighting, creating a captivating backdrop that complements the storytelling. The stereotypical characters, while a drawback, don't detract from the overall experience. Instead, they add a layer of familiarity that helps viewers navigate through the fantastical elements with ease. The tension built within the castle's walls is palpable, making each moment spent in this immersive world both thrilling and unpredictable. Despite its early stages, this series shows promise, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating future episodes.
Trigun Stampede (2023)
A Visual Feast with a Hollow Core
As a devoted fan of the original Trigun anime since 2001, I have eagerly awaited the arrival of the remake. I've watched the original series three times in full, completely enamored by its story and character development. The new version of Trigun, however, left me with a sense of disappointment, despite its stunning visuals and artistic excellence. The changes made to the original story and the characters' development failed to captivate me as the first series did, leaving a hollow feeling behind its beautiful facade.
Visually, the Trigun remake is nothing short of fantastic. The art style is both faithful to the original and enhanced with modern animation techniques. The color palette is vibrant, the character designs are detailed, and the action sequences are fluid and dynamic. This aspect of the remake truly deserves praise and recognition.
However, the beauty of the Trigun remake lies only skin deep. The most significant issue with the new series is the script and the changes made to the original story. The pacing in this version is remarkably different from the first series. In the original, the gradual discovery and growth arc for each character was a significant part of the show's allure. The pacing allowed the audience to become invested in the characters' stories and to develop genuine connections with them. This slow burn of character growth and story progression was replaced by a rushed narrative that reveals everything at once in the remake.
The original series had the characters gradually form bonds with each other, eventually becoming loyal companions. In contrast, the remake forces these connections from the outset, stripping away the authentic and organic development of relationships that the original series portrayed so well. The coincidences that happen to advance the story in the new version are also highly implausible, which detracts from the overall viewing experience.
I didn't expect or want the Trigun remake to be a carbon copy of the original. In fact, I would have been thrilled with a fresh take on the story and characters. However, it's disheartening to see that the writers of this new version were unable to weave a compelling narrative that would justify the remake. It feels like a missed opportunity to create a new and engaging Trigun experience for both old and new fans alike.
One of the most frustrating aspects of the Trigun remake is the fact that the characters have become more forgettable than in the original. With the rushed storytelling and lack of proper character development, the emotional investment in the characters is severely diminished. The original series was so successful because it made viewers care deeply about the characters and their journeys. The remake, unfortunately, fails to evoke the same emotional response.
In conclusion, the Trigun remake is a visually stunning piece of animation with a disappointing core. It suffers from a poorly executed script, rushed pacing, and underdeveloped characters that fail to capture the essence of the original series. I truly wanted to love this remake, but I cannot help but feel let down by the lack of substance and emotional depth. As a fan of the original Trigun, it's disheartening to see such a beloved story fall short of its potential. While I commend the artists for their exceptional work, I wish the same level of care and attention had been given to the story and characters.
Years and Years (2019)
Great show. Ruined by the last episode.
It could have been one of the greats. It could have shown how to make the best black mirror story ever. But they had to end it with a completely out of tone fell good last episode... What a pity.
Locke & Key: Crown of Shadows (2020)
A bad decision after another
Every single problem they face in the show could be solved by using a cellphone or one of the keys. but they seem to forget they are in their pockets!
Such a good concept ruined by absolute lack of logic
Bañeros III, todopoderosos (2006)
It's a must see... I warned you!
I think this is not what all the bañeros fans signed for. 4 years ago I found a site with 20.000 signatures of people that wanted another sequel for bañeros. Well... they got what they asked for... certainly not what they wished for.
If I tell you that the dog had a leading role and he played it the best... you get the idea.
Thanks Paolo for the smile he stole from me... and Gino for his "asssesssino!". For this I give them one extra point (and for the chicks of course).
It's a must see. Just to tell everybody else how awful it is before they go to see it too.
