- (Throwback Rewatch) Attack on Titan Season 3: Episode 5 Review
Seasons: 4 Genre: Shonen Episodes: 94 Rating: 9.5/10 Describe in One Word: Epic Available on: Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime Video This episode of Attack on Titan delivers one of the most intense and visually stunning battles of the series - Levi versus Zeke. Coming off the high stakes of the Battle of Shiganshina, the fight showcases the raw brutality and skill gap between the two warriors. Levi, fueled by rage and years of combat experience, goes all-in against the Beast Titan, while Zeke, confident in his own overwhelming power, gets a brutal reality check. Pacing & Execution The pacing is near perfect. The episode balances the chaos of the battlefield with quiet moments of tension, making the action sequences hit even harder. One second, we see Levi absolutely tearing through titans at breakneck speed, and the next, we're locked into Zeke’s growing fear as he realizes he’s completely outmatched. The fast cuts and fluid animation make the fight feel visceral, but it never sacrifices clarity for spectacle. Room for Improvement If I had to nitpick, the episode could have given us a deeper look into Zeke’s psyche during the fight. We get his arrogance shattered, but it would have been interesting to see more of his inner monologue as he starts to panic. Final Thoughts Overall, this episode is a masterpiece in action storytelling. Levi’s speed, precision, and sheer dominance are exhilarating to watch, and Zeke’s reaction sells the terror of facing humanity’s strongest soldier. The fight is fast, brutal, and satisfying, though a bit more struggle from Zeke might have made it even more engaging. That said, it’s easily one of the best moments in Attack on Titan history.

Seasons - 5 Genre - Western, Drama Episodes - 53 Rating - 8.5 In One Word - Addictive Available on Paramount + Available on Amazon Prime Video Synopsis Enter the dramatic world of the Dutton family, a powerful ranching dynasty locked in a relentless battle to protect their sprawling Montana estate, Yellowstone. This isn't just a story of land and legacy; it's a brutal and captivating saga of family conflict, external threats, and the complex web of relationships that bind and break them. Prepare to be immersed in a world where the lines between right and wrong blur, where rivals lurk in every corner, and the fight for survival is a daily struggle. Meet the Duttons At the heart of this epic is John Dutton, played with stoic intensity by the iconic Kevin Costner. While John is often seen as the central figure, Yellowstone cleverly expands its focus, highlighting the pivotal roles of his family members. The standout is undoubtedly Beth Dutton, portrayed by the fiercely talented Kelly Reilly. Her performance is nothing short of mesmerizing, a complex portrayal of strength, vulnerability, and razor-sharp intellect. You'd never guess she's not a native of Montana, a testament to her incredible acting skills. Themes The Weight of Gentrification: Yellowstone grapples with the relentless pressures of development and the clash between traditional lifestyles and modern expansion. The Complexities of Race and Ethnicity: The show delves into the intricate relationships and historical tensions with Native American communities, adding layers of depth and moral ambiguity. Nature vs. Consumerism: The series sets a powerful stage for a timeless battle – the preservation of natural beauty against the relentless march of progress and profit. Pacing Yellowstone unfolds at a measured pace, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the Duttons' world. While the overall tempo is consistent, the series strategically slows down at times, allowing you to truly absorb the gravity of events and the emotional complexities of the characters. This deliberate pace elevates the tension and keeps you invested in the long game. Visual.

Every scene is a feast for the eyes, with sparkling visuals that showcase the region’s raw beauty and captivating allure.

The series masterfully combines excellent character development, exceptional casting, top-tier acting, and a captivating plot that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. You will develop strong attachments to these characters, making every triumph and heartbreak feel deeply personal. Room for Improvement While the overarching narrative is compelling, some of the secondary plots may occasionally feel slightly unresolved or slow-paced. There is potential to further develop these sub-plots and provide a greater sense of payoff as the series progresses. However, this minor criticism is far outweighed by the strengths of the series. Why You Should Watch Yellowstone If you're looking for a series that will transport you to a world of drama, intrigue, and complex characters, Yellowstone is a must-watch. It's more than just a show; it's an experience that will leave you captivated and craving more.

- Dragon Ball Daima (Season 1 Review)
Seasons - 1 Genre - Shonen Episodes - 12 Rating - 7.5 In One Word - Reinvigorating Available on - (Crunchyroll, Netflix) This exciting series has added to the legacy of Akira Toriyama’s work and uphold's the Dragon Ball name with quality, nostalgia and innovation. Plot In the build up to the release, fans were aware of the similarity of the plot to Dragon Ball GT. After watching a few episodes of this series, you will quickly identify that Daima is set connected to the DBZ chronology and separate from DBGT. Being turned to children also poses interesting challenges to our heroes. The plot and action sequences use this predicament well and add to an engaging watch.The series will appeal to long time fans and new fans. Continuity Dragon Ball Daima is stacked with links to original Dragon Ball lore. Some observations may be overt and some need a rewind and few moments with a search engine. This characteristic adds to the genuine feel of Dragon Ball. Pacing The pacing is great. Each episode has a mixture of lore, action, humor and plot development. Art & Animation The Art and Animation of this series is top class and consistent. It firmly keeps Dragonball competing with ‘new gen’ anime while still keeping ‘OG’ dragon ball vybz. The Future Dragon Ball Animation The Dragon Ball Manga has stories left to animate; The Moro Arc, Granola Arc, Goten & Trunks Superhero story. Dragon Ball Super could provide fans with another 10 years of Dragon Ball animation. Dragon Ball continues to show why it is arguably the greatest anime of all time. Its continuity is almost unparalleled and recently managed to leave a distinguished mark in the 2010 - 2020 era of anime. The only weakness may be the slight in consistency of the animation in a few moments such as Goku vs Future Trunks (In Bulma’s sphere) Copy Vegeta Saga Goku & Tien vs Gohan & Piccolo (Tournament Training) Future Trunks vs Trunks Goku vs Zamasu (Kai Planet) I hope Dragon Ball maintains this level of art and animation. Conclusion Dragon Ball Daima holds the legacy firm and begins a new era of fun and power.
