i read it when i was younger so i don't remember anything, just that i liked the story. i would give it an A (maybe an S if i read it again) because the story was good enough to leave a good impression on me, even though i don't remember any details lol. true stories have always fascinated me because they are that, true. for that reason alone they surpass any fiction xd.Patatitta wrote:

when i was a kid i heard a story about a couple who killed people and started selling their meat on the street for people to eat, but this couple hid the meat inside street food so no one would notice, and people liked the taste even though they found it a little strange. when the police arrested this couple and people found out through the newspaper, the city went years without eating street food. after i heard this story the world became more interesting to me because i didn't imagine that these things could happen in real life.
btw, rating true stories is not about criticizing the fact, but how the story was told and how it affected you. if "My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness" was a youtube video, it wouldn't have the same impact on you as a manga.

I think there is a bit more nuance to it, yes, I agree there are better and worse ways to rate a true story, but given how personal the manga is and how the topics it covers are very delicate and hard to speak about, I just prefeer not to rate itigorsprite wrote:

Ergo Proxy

I watched this I think a week agoabraker wrote:
Ergo Proxy
it's ok
ergo proxy is a anime that very much takes direct inspiration from ghost in the shell, however, in modern culture it's often associated more to shows like lain or texhnolyze, in fact, both ergo proxy and ghost in the shell kinda tackle the same topics, the stand alone complex of ghost in the shell is really similar to the proxy in ergo proxy
the idea of ergo proxy is a police/detective mistery story in this really advanced society that is closed to the rest of the world where they're struggling with robot rights and things like that, the topics it tackles are fairly deep, but I don't think they really explore those topics properly, unlike ghost in the shell, ergo proxy is more focused on the mistery itself
The mistery of ergo proxy is slow, this pacing helps you try to piece things in your head while you go, the way ergo proxy is animated also stands out compared to other animes, not because they do anything particullary interesting in the actual animation, but because of the cinematography, again, it being different to the norm gets you thinking
the problem with this is that they don't slowly introduce information, it's not like any sentence could say anything interesting, most of it is presented in big reveals, and during reveal and reveal there isn't really that much going on, I think the most clear example of this are the dream segments, they don't really advance the story forward until the very end where it's revealed to be a dream, it doesn't explore the philosophical topics of the anime, it doesn't really explore the characters either as they often have a different cast, and while they're fun by itself, it kinda just feels like filler, and when you realize that those moments doesn't really matter, a lot of the atmosphere of the anime is lost
it's a fine anime, but it has some flaws and it's completely overshadowed by ghost in the shell which is the exact same but like way better, placed in c tier

the game seems to refuse to run and given i've just spent 15 minutes troubleshooting the game while watching tutorials in a language I do not speak I may give up on this

Mekakucity Actors
it's bad
the plot is about stuff I suppose I don't know it's a mess on every single level, first of all, there are way too many main characters, almost none of them are explored, they often don't really feel that different from each other because of that, I honestly kinda faded out in the middle of the anime I just didn't really care
like, usually animes or games have characters that get you interested in the plot, you often keep playing or watching just because you want to see that one character, this anime doesn't have that and the plot really doesn't hold on it's own
The real hook of this anime is the animation and i'm sorry eblf this fucking sucks it doesn't fit the anime at all, there is such a think as overproducing and this anime is just filled with it.
This anime is set on a school, the characters are "normal" high school students just placed in a interesting situation, this is something that most anime in the past have nailed, they're often static environment with not much going on so it's easy to draw and for you to get the idea
however, shaft isn't like that, shaft needs to be more artsy and cool and it just completely messes it up in this anime, because the school doesn't feel like a school, it feels like a vortex of color in the crossroads between time and multiple realities, the land where a divine creature would fall from the heaven to give you a magical orb of inimaginable power that you would later use to defeat the evil titan in a epic universe destroying combat
and it's not that it doesn't feel like a school and that the animation is actively sabotaging the setting, this also translates to the way the characters act and move, the most obvious example is the shaft head twist which kinda makes as character look smug and misterious but they're fucking high school students they don't need to be smug and misterious, it just fucks up the atmosphere
the animation sets this really serious and intense tone when the actual story of the anime is very light for most of the anime so there is a really big discrepancy between the story and the animation
also randomly in the anime they will have some sort of musical segment which I appreciate this anime having a good OST but make the moments where you shut everything up and focus on the song make sense?, there are moments where nothing is really happening and then the song kicks in and it's like what why
placed in D rank

johnny english
my dad walked in and went "is that johnny english?, I love that movie" and honestly dad you're so right this movie is enjoyable
johnny english is a british comedy movie parody of spy movies like james bond or whatever, the main actor Rowan Atkinson also known as mr bean. In this movie he plays as johnny english, which is basically mr bean, a good for nothing type of person who kinda just fakes it till he makes it in very humoristic ways
johnny english is not the most complex movie, or the most ambitious, it's not something I would really recommend to anyone if they asked me for comedy movies even, but it works, it really does work, there isn't really anything wrong in this movie, it's just some light-hearted comedy fun
the parody aspect is pretty well done, as it's just a regular spy movie but the protagonist is johnny english, and just by having that a lot of the weird parts of spy movies that we would normally ignore kinda shine brighter, which really makes you think
and well, it's just fun, I liked it, placed in B tier, may watch the sequels in the future

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru (oregairu)
I don't get this anime
The plot of onegairu follows this guy who is a social outcast and is forced to join the school "service club", a club for social outcasts to learn how to behave in society by helping everyone who comes into the school with a problem, in here the protagonist meets the female protagonist and they accept to a bet where the person who helps more people via the service club, will be able to do any request to the other party
the concept is good, like, the plot of violet evergarden isn't actually too far off from that idea of learning how to fit in society, but the way it is handled in this anime is weird
I don't like how loneliness is portrayed in this anime, I feel it completely misses the point in many aspects, at first, the protagonists are presented as someone who just choses not to take part in society, same for the female MC, they're lonely because of their own choosing, in fact, they know very well how to behave in society. The way the requests play out is the two protagonists doing death note type mental combat while everyone else just sits and look around because they're the only two characters who are allowed to develop ideas
thing is, in this anime, loneliness is treated as something pathologic, something to be, you're never just lonely, there needs to exist a reason and for that reason to be something that can be fixed. It turns out, that the two protagonists aren't just lonely because they want to be lonely, it's because they had bad previous life experiences that prohibited them from being social, the third and last lonely character from the anime is yoshiteru, who has chuunibyou, something they literally consider a disease.
The protagonist, instead of feeling lonely feels edgy, always alone but way smarter than any other character and is pretty smug and unlikeable at times, the female MC doesn't feel too edgy but I wouldn't say she is properly written either, I just don't really know if the author knows how to actually write a lonely character
that part of the anime is so poorly written that is not sustainable, basically being dropped for the second and third season, which instead of focusing on many different requests they just focus on really big arcs with real stakes attached to them, so they double down on the mental battle thing
but these mental battles don't really feel genuine either, it's not really believable that only the two protagonists are capable of rational thought and that everyone else is a stereotypical villain
even looking at it purely by the romance, it's not really exactly well handled?, for a romance, there is surprisingly little emotion attached to it, which I feel is wasting the power of romances. The general idea of a romcom is that the comedy softens you up for the romance to hit harder, thing is, in this anime the romance doesn't really happen until the very last few episodes, outside that, it's not really a driving factor
also I don't like how totsuka is depicted, it's a femboy who plays tennis, the whole relationship between the mc and totsuka is "haha I want you to be my wife but omggg he's a guy I can't do that" and it just hurts
this is just a self-insert romcom like many others, placed in D rank

watched mars of destruction and forgot to write about it here
this anime is a 20 minute ova about aliens and stuff I assume, but really, it's not that bad
the biggest problem of this anime is that they try to cram a whole shounen plot in 20 minutes, when this plot could have lasted at least 13 episodes, so characters die before really getting introduced, backstories are kinda tried to be fit in as best as they could
but really, what is there isn't really that bad, it's just heavily, heavily underdevelopped
skelter heaven is way worse

the biggest problem of this anime is that they try to cram a whole shounen plot in 20 minutes, when this plot could have lasted at least 13 episodes, so characters die before really getting introduced, backstories are kinda tried to be fit in as best as they could
but really, what is there isn't really that bad, it's just heavily, heavily underdevelopped
skelter heaven is way worse
placed on d rank
now I gotta watch skelter heaven I guess

The Breadwinner
the breadwinner is a western animated movie about how shitty the taliban are, it's alright
the plot is pretty simplistic, it's a family where the parent gets arrested and the girl pretends she's a boy so she can make some money while also trying to get her dad out of prision. My problem with this movie is that it doesn't really say much, it just validates the believes we already had coming in, and that is that the taliban are pretty misogynist, the animation looks okay, it's nothing too remarkable
it's not the most emotional film, not the most interesting film, it just doesn't have a strong point, it does everything well but nothing exceptionally well, it's kinda boring in that regard
I don't know, it's fine I guess, placed in C tier
also in the process of logging this on letterboxd I found someones school project and I think it's funny

I don't know what the fuck you played but cool. Yes, I'm a two months late. Fuck off if you have a problem with that.Patatitta wrote:
GTA IV
I'm very dissapointed
This is the first time i've ever played any GTA game, which is surprising since it's one of the most popular videogame franchises in the world, I knew kinda how it operated and what it was about, but never actually played it, so now that i've played, I don't think it's a very good videogame
First of all, the GTA IV PC port fucking sucks, The 100% legal download I took for this game already included a modpack that supposedly fixed most of the bugs, but even with that, I've still faced crashes, graphical issues, and i've clipped through the floor once, all of these things have made me have to restart the mission. Although, it's still playable, annoying, but playable,
GTA IV has a plot, it's about this russian immigrant that goes to the united states and tries to pursue the american dream with their cousin by doing all sorts of illegal activities. The start of the story is actually not bad, the first 5-6 missions or so, but after that, the games open up and problems really start to show up
There are A LOT of quests in GTA IV, and, you can kinda pursue any storyline that you want in any order in any moment, this sounds great in theory, but in the practice, that just means a super important plot point happens and then it's not acknowledged for 10 quests because the other quests you have pending to do were available before you even got that quest with the important plot point, so you kinda go back in time when you do a lot of the quests, there isn't really a clear chronological order in most of the quests
there isn't a pacing with the story, so it just feels bad, the story kinda did lose me halfway through because in order to actually keep pursuing it I had to do all of these other missions from secondary characters I just didn't care much about
The story itself also has a lot of problems, a lot of plot holes in fact, this is something that applies to more videogames but I find especially frustrating in this game, and that is, death only matters if it happens in a cinematic. There is a part at the start of the game where you kill someone who in the grand scheme of things is just a crook, but, you now have to face the consequences of having killed them, the loan sharks that guy had are now going to seek you, which makes sense. What doesn't make sense is the rest of the game, and that is, even in story missions you kill hundreds and hundreds of people with gang affiliations and other stuff, where are the consequences for that?, the only kills that end up mattering are the ones that happen in a cinematic
The game is also very contrived in order to make the game work, for example, in a lot of story missions the game won't spawn police, is the police not showing up when it normally would not a plot hole?, when you're on a mission and you're chasing a car, that car doesn't follow the same rules yours do, it has different collisions, in fact, a lot of NPC on vehicles are completely immortal unless you reach a certain point in the route. Shooting a enemy, them not dying, shooting them again but in a different point in a road and dying, isn't that a plot hole?, there a clear disconnect from the gameplay and the story, they feel made by two entirely different dev teams
But I mean, if you're playing GTA, you're not really doing it for the story most of the time, GTA is a power fantasy, you run around, kill people, steal cars, create chaos, etc. I don't think they pull this off either.
Most time in GTA, you're going to be inside of a car or a vehicle, in fact, the game doesn't really have an OST in the general sense, but radios you can turn on and switch while on the car, the ideal scenario is that you're escaping from all these cops, maybe shooting back, doing all of these cool tricks, with the song you like playing, it's supposed to make you feel badass and unstoppable, you're supposed to feel like baby driver
but sadly, the mechanics just doesn't really allow for any of that to happen, the car controls feel like you're drunk, the drift is basically useless, the ideal way to deal to police is to NOT shoot back, so if you can avoid fighting with cops at all, you take that chance, even if you have a helicopter chasing you, do not shoot back.
The way you escape from police is to get out of their vision range and then just wait 5 seconds, idk, waiting still hoping that RNG wont spawn a police car in my face is not the coolest way to escape from police?, it's very boring
This game is not polished at all, even if you exclude all the bugs, a lot of things in this game seem to have been made without much care at all. Again, immortal NPC, enemies having different laws of physics, very clear rubberbanding, loading screens while changing clothes without a menu to choose directly what you want to wear (like come on, at least give me a way to save outfits).
There is actually one part of the game that really annoyed me, and it comes down to a lack of polish. There are two or three points on the game where the story mandates you use a helicopter, this is fine, in the tutorial that shows up when you first mount an helicopter you can either use WASD or the numeric keyboard to control the helicopter, I decided to use the numeric keyboard since it was easier for me. I reach the last mission and it gives me a helicopter, but this helicopter isn't like the ones you've piloted before, this one has weapons, and you shoot your weapons with left click. Can you see the problem?, i've been controlling helicopters with my right hand on the numeric keyboard, and you're now expecting me to put my right hand on the mouse, it's impossible, you MUST use WASD to fly the helicopter, so in the time I need to get used to the WASD controls, the enemy flies away and I have to restart the entire mission once again. That death did not feel fair at all.
So yeah, the story did not engage me, there were bugs and a lack of polish, it did not live up as a power fantasy, haven't even mentioned it in the post but I feel al ot of the minigames are a bit mid, so yeah, this game sucks.
Placed in D tier. Or at least would, tiermaker still does not work.

Final Fantasy Unlimited
not a very good anime
final fantasy unlimited is a isekai-ish where a family gets into wonderland, the parents first, and then the kids later, who try to find and reunite with their parents.
even if it has the final fantasy name, this story is original, it's not an adaptation, and it's a bit boring, it's mostly an adventure anime but it doesn't really do anything very interesting and it also has a lot of comedy which eh, sometimes land but it doesn't really carry the aniem by itself
this anime has some quirks tho, first of all, the production time is surprisingly high for the year it was created in, it uses a lot of early CG which does look bad compared to nowadays but I wouldn't say it looks bad in the anime, they also got the group that made all of the initial D endings for the second ED, by all means is not a small production
second, this anime doesn't feel like a videogame at all, it also doesn't feel like final fantasy at all, yes, they do references and have chocobos and do the victory theme, but a lot of the time it feels closer to hunter x hunter than anything else, like really, anime is HEAVILY influenced by games like dragon quest and stuff, so for an anime about a videogame to have less videogame ADN than a regular seasonal anime, that shit is impressive
also, I have finished FF7 today, which was the reason why I hadn't started paper mario yet, but yeah, this anime is not very good, placed in D rank

french-japanese anime collaboration, mixed about it
It's a anime about gangsters and weird aliens, mainly the first tho, it's very action packed, lots of stunts, not any real drama or whatever, and I didn't get too into it, it's not exactly a original story and for action there are many anime that does it better.
It does look very good, but it's not as breaking or generally berathtaking for that to carry the entire thing, also, i'm not the biggest fan of some of the decisions on the visuals, mainly because it feels like it's trying to replicate the same camera shots and the same general things as a life action movie like with the camera shake, and I don't think an animation should strife to imitate real life, I don't think it really takes full advantage of it
I don't really have much to say about it, the movie is just a bland but with good animation. D rank

Charly
people aparently don't really like this adaptation but idk man I liked it
This is an adaptation of the book flowers for algernon which I previously read on this thread, and I think this is a good adaptation, it doesn't follow the book 1:1, in fact, it has many, many differences, but I am not a believer that a adaptation should be faithful to the source material, I think you have to work to the strenghts of the medium, (this is kinda what I was saying in this thread)
Flowers for algernon was written in diary entries, and you could see their intelligence advancing via the vocabulary he used and the spelling mistakes, being a movie you can't really do that, instead, it gives you what really was going on, not what charly percieved in the book, which really shifts the narrative, the movie is more focused on the people surrounding charly than charly himself
everything else I have to say is the same as I said in the book, so maybe read that too
I think that if you've read the book you can watch the movie and if you've watched the movie you can watch the movie they feel complementary more than "the same but in a different medium", so placed in A rank, like the book
Studio ghibli has three type of movies
1- Cool magical adventure! (mainly for younger audiences), some examples of this are spirited away or mononoke
2- More cozy type of film (still for younger audiences), some examples of this are totoro or kiki's delivery service
3- A world war 2 drama about a patriotic japanese civilian trying to survive while caring about her little sister after their parents passed away as collateral deaths due to the incessant bombing of the war (what the fuck)
like really, I'm honestly astonished how completely different this is to every single other movie they've done, maybe the closest is nausica?, but it's not remotely as grim as grave of the fireflies, imagine if disney or pixar did that, after they release toy story or whatever they released a movie about the horrors of wars and not in a kid-friendly way
I also think grave of the fireflies is one of the best ghibli films, tho I think animation is not the best medium for stories about war, specially about how war is bad, mainly because it creates a layer of abstraction which kinda devaluates the message of the film, the more real it feels, the more impactful it is, this is for example one of the reasons why 1917 is recorded like it's a single continuous shot (they have cuts but they just hide it very well)
still, this movie is a banger, the movie looks great, the situation truly does feel dire, seeing all of the characters in this shitty situation is really tough, I like the commentary they do on ideology, it doesn't matter if they won the war, you still have all of those civilain deaths and absolute destruction across your country, the only difference is that if you win, you at least feel it was worth it, but is it really?, can you really see this movie and go "yeah wars are really cool actually"
this movie also shows about how war is unfair, the people that survive aren't the ones that "deserve" it the most (everyone deserves to live, I just mean, just because someone is a better person that doesn't give you better odds at surviving), a lot of it comes down to your social and economical standing previous to the war, the skills you know, (a methematician is not the most useful on a community trying to survive a tragic situation, but if you were a medic or a farmer, you're now the coolest person in town), and also geographical location, it doens't matter how prepared you are, if you're unlucky, the bombs will always take your life
also the relation between the two protagonist is beautiful
so yeah, really banger movie, placed in A rank

Avatar the last airbender is a western anime produced by nickelodeon about the story of four nations, you know the meme "Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked", and then the avatar who is also the last airbender (shocking I know) needs to learn to master all elements so he can stop the war
This is an episodic series, however, even if I don't like this style of storytelling, they actually did a damn good job at it, my problem with this type of series is that they're often formulaic, that there isn't much plot developement, that there really isn't much of a pace to the anime since you can basically watch it in any order, this isn't the case in avatar, the first and final 5 episodes flow so, so well into each other that it truly feels great
now, there are still a few episodes that does feel like filler, like the fortune-telling episode, but that isn't really my biggest complaint, my problems with the series is more that it feels tone deaf at times
This is a nickelodeon show, this was aired for children, thing is, this series truly does seem like it wants to go into some deeper, more heavy topics, but every time there is a interesting speech or anything really interesting, they often cut it out with a dumb gag to keep the tone light, this is not the worst thing ever but it's annoying
The real problem here are the characters. The situation is dire, you're on a big war, that could have (and has already had) awful, awful consequences, due to chance you find the avatar, the only person that can save it, but they currently are weak (compared to what they should be), this is a TENSE situation, this is stressful, this is awful for everyone involved, there is no fun be found here, so why are the characters so damn moody?
like really, the thing that actually just kills me of avatar is how the characters would literally just let the world die for the stupidest reason you've heard, the ammount of times they turn of each other for random bs is astounding, "ohhhh I randomly got a bf and now i'm like turning on each other for this guy I literally met 30 minutes ago", "after 20 episodes of traveling turns out that the instructor is rude to women so we're not going to have the avatar do the training they need to save the world", at the end, due to plot armor they do return and save the situation (honestly that one I mentioned was such bullshit turns out that randomly the grandma of one of the protagonist was supposed be married to the instructor and due to seeing the family trinket she was wearing his heart softened up like are you fucking kidding me?, you would let the world DIE before being nice to women but seeing that she's the granddaughter of the girl that stood him up at like a wedding is the thing to soften him up??????)
It's just, I don't feel they really acknowledge the situation at all, in chapter 3, aang discovers his whole nation is dead, so also like all his family and friends and everyone that he ever loved or even met, and not only that but they were muredred, so katara, does a speech, where she basically goes "I went through a similar situation when my family died, but hey!, you're better off than I was back then, as you still have a family, us". Like, there is no point in comparasion of what aang is just living through to what she lived through, the worst part is that the speech works and it's just such an awful scene god it's bad
so if the characters often have plot armor, they don't even acknowledge the plot as anything to be taken seriously, every time they're going to do anything intersting they cut it out with a gag, and there are literally filler episodes, what's the point of the show?, really, if even the characters don't give a shit, why should I give a shit?
I don't know man, I don't like it, also note I haven't watched it as a kid this was my first impression.

Inglourious Basterds:
Wow those basters sure are inglorious! haha!
nah but it's a good movie, I'm not the biggest fan of tarantino, mainly because I'm not the biggest fan of action, but I enjoyed this
Inglorious basters is about a group of jewish-american soldiers who kill nazis during WW2, there are some romance sideplots and stuff too but in general, it's about killing nazis
in fact, the movie isn't very deep or complex at all, it's just about seeing nazis die, also some scenes are really well made like that initial scene
anyways good movie it did what it wanted to do which was kill a lot of nazis so B rank

TÁR
it's nice
TÁR is about a orchestra composer who is a really shitty human being but like she doesn't think there is anything wrong with that and life happens and fuck man
This is a movie with a very simple premise and message, you can probably guess the ending without seeing the movie, but that's not really the point. TÁR is all about that idea of art vs the artist and the nuances we have nowadays surrounding that topic, because it turns out, you can say "yeah this old composer was an asshole" but when that composer is still alive, things change
There is a scene, close to the start of the movie, where tar is teaching a young new student, and that new student claims that he doesn't enjoy bach, and the reason why he didn't enjoy bach weren't so much that they didn't enjoy the songs themselves, but he just thought bach was an asshole and he shouldn't really be celebrated, to this, tár goes like WHAT THE FUCK you MUST like bach or else you have SHIT TASTE and you CLEARLY don't know what you're talking about
In many ways, you can make pararellism here with tar and bach, both are cracked at making music but they're both really shitty, so in many ways, her defending bach is her defending herself, because you can't possibly accept that criticism of bach without being a hypocrite
The idea that this movie kinda ends up is that it's alright to just dislike something just because you dislike who that person is, which in many ways goes contrary to a lot of the opinions surrounding "cancel culture"
I liked this movie, placed in B tier

Freaks (2018)
surprisingly good ngl
this movie is the type of movie who doesn't really bother to explain what is going on at any moment, it's like the opposite of handholding, shit just happens and you kinda have to figure out what's going on, while I may not really like this type of movies too much, this one felt actually interesting
a lot of the fun of this movie is not really knowing what's coming next, it isn't really trying to say anything and more just to be a fun little movie
don't have a lot to say, it was fun, placed on B rank.
