I see, how about any of the Judgment series game? I haven't play it myself so I don't know the story yet. Idk if you like psychological since you said you don't like horror but maybe Emesis Blue by Fortress Film on YouTube. The plot quite confusing though because it contains reference from old WW2 medias.Patatitta wrote:

The Hunger Games
ngl I enjoyed it more than I thought
read and heard many negative opinions of this movie. The original teen dystopia, extremely angsty and has awful worldbuilding and plotholes and whatever, and while most of that is true, after watching it, I just think it was kinda boring? Like, yeah it had plotholes and bad worldbuilding, but that didn't really detract from my enjoyement, and for the rest, the movie doesn't really do anything that badly, it just does surprisingly little
Everyone knows what the hunger games is so i'm skipping explaining that. Tho I will say that the first half of the movie hypes you for well, the hunger games, telling you about how important sponsors are and whatever, and when the hunger games comes, it's surprisingly calm?. Like man, they won by camping, she could have died 40 different times but she just made friends and AFKd the whole match.
The love triangle is there but like, they don't do that much with it, the protagonist kinda just seems apathetic torwards it
Like really, first half of the movie is hyping you up, second half is just evil yuru camp. Just camping and talking but like this time there is supposed to be death
placed in C tier, don't think I will be watching the sequels

watched it in discord with friends
comedy spy movie, same director as airplane. Doesn't try to have a complex plot or really do much, just be funny, which it is. Comedy is extremely absurdist, a lot of it being funny because of the unexpected. It has a really high density of jokes, it's hard to see like more than 30 seconds witohut a gag
I really don't think I have much more I can say about this movie other than watching it with people definitively improved the experience

Good movie
This is a brazilian movie, written by the guy who did city of god. The movie is about the police force in rio de janeiro. It is a very good movie
A lot of the focus on the movie is showing police brutality and trying to find the origins of that problem, while at the same time humanizing the criminals. It raises fairly interesting points, one of it how the methodoloy for doing polcie work is actually not completely unified and that every member can kinda do what they want in their own case. The movie shows this by comparing two very different members of the police force, while they had the same job, they acted in different ways which can create problems.
One character in this movie actually studied law, as they assumed that in order to properly enforce law you need to understand law, something that couldn't be further from the reality, which again shows another big problem in the system, one that has also gone to full swing with the protests in america this last few years, and that is "how the fuck does a lawyer need to study way more than a policeman when they really have the same job of protecting and enforcing the law"
I also found interesting a scene late in the movie that showed a little bit of the internal training of the police, one where they had to form a formation. In the police they basically do military training with a lot of physical punishment and the such, that makes sense for a war, where you go to kill people, but for a cop, it can be a problem, because that type of training makes you apathetic to violence, it normalizes it. In the military is normal to beat each other up, but doing the same thing for the civilian population is very bad

Jane Austen’s Mafia!
Another comedy movie by the director of top secret and airplane, a bit worse than those tho
This movie is very much a parody of the godfather, the troubled life of the son of a important mafia family and their eventual ascent to power. The plot itself doesn't really do anything too interesting, it's mainly a absurdist comedy movie with not that much of a meaning behind it, which I can get behind
The actual comedy is fairly different from airplane and top secrets, in many ways it seems more standard, more like what we would start seeing a lot in the early 2000. The comedy in many ways it's a lot more rude and scatological than their previous movies, it also features a lot of references, to the godfather mainly, but there are a few others, like forrest gump, this is funny at the moment but I feel relying on this type of joke makes the movie less unique
When compared to top secret, the difference is quite clear, mafia is quite literally the godfather while top secret is a spy movie, not like a james bond parody.
However, the non scatological non reference jokes are funny, so I still enjoyed watching the movie
In general I enjoyed but eh could have been better, placed in C rank

Everything Everywhere All At One
just woke up and I watches this movie a while back now sooooo
This movie is about timelines, all the different ones than there are, jumping between universe and universe to achieve a certain goal. The movie is actually very experimental and I really enjoyed it
Concepts of timelines isn't new by any means, however, the way this tackles it feels both the most realistic and most unique. In theory there is a timeline for every single possibility, and that is actually shown in the movie, there are certain universes than doesn't even make sense but that still exist, mainly because if there are infinite timelines, one is bound to be like that, anything that you can imagine, there is a timeline for that
It's actually very emotional which is actually not something you expect reading the movie synopsis or seeing the trailer, and the way the emotional scenes are delivered (the rocks scene), again, really fucking unique. I guess that having seen so much weird stuff upon that point makes you more open to even more weird stuf

milk inside a bag of milk
this is a very short vn about mental health problems, it feels bad to talk about this type of games as they often tend to be very personal and basically biographical skipped most of this games, but I do have to say something about tis, so I will keep this short
there is a voice that talks to this character, this voice is supposed to not be real, the voice is the narrator of the game, it's supposed to represent the protagonist subconcious. However, there is a part in this game where it breaks the fourth wall, probably because the dev thought it was cool, which completely breaks the message of the story because we're real so that means that they're not schizo but that they're actually right which wouldn't make a mental illness so like what the fuck

This is a medical drama where a doctor from the year 2000 (modern day at the time of writing the manga) got transported into the 19th century with their current medical knowledge, becoming a miracle worker and changing history in the process.
It's a cool concept, I haven't read much medical dramas, (honestly I think this is the first one (no monster does not count)), and I think the whole medical aspect to it was really well done. I don't know the accuracy of the actual medicine shown in the manga, but it does feels tense when it needs to be, repulsive when it needs to be, and generally seems to treat medicine with a lot of respect
This manga also explores how modern medicine clashes with some old cultural values and how in many ways that culture was toxic to medical advances. It also goes in depth about the invention and general spread of penicilin
The art is pretty solid, specially for a manga that started serialization in the year 2000, I think it holds up pretty well.
My problems with the manga arise with everything not relating to medicine. While there is a overarching plot of understanding time travel and stuff, the pacing on it is very bad and it isn't nearly as explored or treated with the same respect that medicine is shown in the manga.
It's also a 20 volume manga, it's pretty lenghthy, and it ends up following your classical arc structure, where there are different self contained stories that while carry some connection with each other and character growth and stuff they're mostly self-contained. It's only on the ending of each arc that the overarching plot really advances
So yeah, amazing as a medical drama but don't know if I would recommend it outside that placed in B tier

yes I watched it, my thoughts aren't that different from the manga so idk if want to make another post on it, generally it fits better in a movie format than in a manga but I don't agree that it's that peakLapizote wrote:

cipher academy
---------
bad
Cipher academy is a manga by the writer of monogatari about the cipher academy, a japense high school where they teach cryptology and only cryptology and there is also a massive bounty hidden somewhere in the school.
with the previous manga, jin, I praised that they treat medicine with a lot of respect, with cipher academy, I can't say the same. We need to understand that cipher academy is basically a battle shounen, most of the manga is just different people fighting in "Cipher Battles". To add insult to injury it was published on shounen jump weekly. So while they mention cryptology terms, they don't really mean anything, it's not remotely accurate to reality, and in many ways it just works as a magic system for the fights.
This magic system isn't really consistent either, there aren't really any underlying rules to any of the fights, as each battle often has a gimmick attached which makes every fight completely unique, I consider this to be a bad thing, mainly, because someone winning or losing always feel like complete random bs, if anything can happen at any moment, there isn't really any tension, a character may be losing but you know the writer can just write whatever in that suddenly makes them win, it feels cheap
With most high school anime or manga, while there are a lot of people per class, they only really write 4-5 characters, rest are just in the background. Cipher academy goes "what if we tried writing EVERY SINGLE STUDENT", so like there are a gazillion characters and you forget who half of them are halfway through and no one really gets that much developement
Honestly I feel this may not be as much of a problem if you're reading it as it's being released and then you go to the discord for the manga and then just discuss that chapter for a whole week like it's most common in most battle shounens but binging it was pain
the character designs are cool tho

Summer Ghost
Pretty good
40 minute long movie about a group of 3 students that summons a ghost, this ghost is actually like really nice and just chats with them, the fun part is that the ghost only shows up for people who are close to death in one way or another, this happens at like minute 5/10 of the movie, the rest of the movie is exploring the circumstances of each one of the characters and seeing everything unfold
the art is BEAUTIFUL, it looks fucking amazing and it has some really smart shots, having some more abstract scenes and generally angles and shots you don't see in most anime.
For it's short length, it's a surprisingly well fleshed out story, each character personality and sitation are distinct, and I think the movie does a really good job at showing how each character masks their troubles, their general though process, and why they decide to interact with the other characters the way they do.
There are basically 4 character totals, the main 3 and the ghost, which helps focus their short length better.
There are many scenes that are string together but that aren't necessarily happening at the same place or even at the same time, but they work because there is a emotional string attaching all of those scenes, when multiple "unrelated" scenes are connected is because they're in a similar stage of character arcs.
The anime flips between two different color paletes, a darker blue with motives of water, and a really bright and lively yellow with movites of the sky during a sunrise, the sad and more depressing scenes are blue in color, while when there is hope they use yellow, there is actually a scene later on the movie that straight up showcases this division and dynamic, it's on a box due to spoilers
it's a really good movie, I really enjoyed it, placed in A rank.

Analyze how this thread is still somehow active and what are the key points that you think make a thread successful
Although in the 2k posts that it has, I won't be surprised if somebody already asked this

as much as i would love to read that he probably wouldn't do that because its technically not media; patatitta doesn't review concepts like that, he just reviews media. he might do it in a seperate thread tho
i know i'm not patatitta but i think its to do with the fact that people receive something back from patatitta and that's what makes it so active; you get to make this guy sit through something and he'll write a whole review on it for FREE btw, and this cycle of giving him something and making him review it can actually loop on forever considering the fact that there's infinite amounts of media for him to review.
so basically, this thread could technically live on forever as long as patatita keeps reviewing stuff and as long as media is still being produced, and that's what has made it survive to 2,000 posts
