if the title of "kpop demon hunters" is a red flag to you, then this movie doesn't have anything to offer, if you can't get past the title there is nothing here.

Kpop demon hunters is a animated movie about this kpop group who hunts demons, as you may have expected. The plot is bad, like very bad, like exceedengly bad. None of the characters have any sort of characterization or real developement with the exception of the protagonist, most character just have one joke (if any) and that's their whole personality during the rest of the movie, the plot doesn't really hold up to a moment of scrutiny, the romance is half assed, the drama is honestly taken up way too lightly given thej actual stakes of the situation, there are plot holes everywhere as long as you look a little bit closer.

I guess this is can be excused by saying that the people watching this movie are not expecting high art, or regular art, or even low art. People watch this movie because it's a celebration of kpop songs and culture, having said that, I do still feel bad for these people, the fact that they're not actively looking for a movie that has a killer plot, doesn't mean that they don't deserve it. If a movie of this quality was made for a subculture or something I was a passionate fan about, I would frankly be mad.

As I said earlier, this movie lives or dies depending on your opinion of kpop music and culture. I don't have strong opinions on the actual music, it sounds nice, not playlist material but yeah, I can listen to them and vibe with them. Now, kpop culture, and idol culture by extension is not something I tolerate, I do have a hatred for it, the whole corporate nature of it puts me off, and the fact that the movie doesn't really address this and just instead plays on the fantasy that these are just 3 girls who are like very nice and girly who just happens to put out killer tracks is something that annoys me.

This movie has comedy but again, it doesn't resonate with me, mainly because I don't fuck with the characters. The whole YASSSSSSS QUEEN nature of the protagonist trio is not something I vibe with.

Same experience for me with the animation, I don't like the artstyle, every time a character did a facial expression it felt like I was watching a emoji.

I hate this movie a lot more than I said in this thread, but I know i'm not the target demographic and that i'm heavily biased agaist it so I will just put it in D rank and move on. I don't want to talk too much about this one

Later Alligator

I thought this game would be more similar to the previous, being a point and click mistery game featuring anthropomorphic animals, (in this case alligartors), that was not the case, this game is a mainly just a minigame collection with good art and funny dialogue

there isn't much that I have to say about this game, it lacks a story, it's very short, I did wish it didn't lean as hard into minigames, as I didn't think they were as funny

there really is no meat in this game to really say anything, sorry, placed on c rank. Nothing wrong with this game, but there is just frankly nothing to talk about.

tldr: fuck nilism man

already ranted about this anime to at least 3 peole I know, the plot is about this space octopus that is kind of a pardy of doraemon (they have magical gadgets that they pull and can use), and triges to help this depressed girl who suffers from bullying. The octopus doesn't know shit about the human race and wont learn, instead always coming to the wrong conclusions, this doesn't cange during the rest of the anime.

Let's get the good out of the way, this anime knows how to hit your emotional strings, the topis that they tackle are heavy, the situation is anything but subtle, it's cruel but in a way that you feel a story like this is plausible. All of the reveals and plot twists are impactful, the animatin is really good to add to that.

That's where my praises end, I think the writing of this anime is just pure ass. I think a good first step is to think what the message of tis anime is, is it a realistic and grounded depiction and study on bullying, both from the perspective of the one being bullied and the bully?, no, it is not, it's so extreme of a situation that if something like this were to happen irl, it would be the edgest of the edge cases. If all of the campaigns to educate peopel about bullying has told me anything is that real world bullying both has more nuances and it isn't as transparent. At least where I live, if you were to idk, fucking assault the other students laugh at them in public and quite literally write stuff like slut on their already broken backpack, you would at least be called out for doing so, but I guess teachers and the such just straight up don't exist in this anime.

so what's the point?, we know this situation is, we know that the author fantasized this situation just to inflict maximum pain on the characters, so what's the goal?, I think the first and most obvious deduction is that the world is a cruel place. Both our emotional reaction to the events and the general dialogue of the octopus, trying to understand the human race only to be confused by our evil doings. I'm fine with this, I agree the world is cruel and that humankind is more often than not evil. So you, so I , the ones living in this cruel world, what should we do? THe anime doesn't offer a solution, it just screams THE WORLD IS EVIL and then refuses to elaborate. Why is it that some people thrive in this cruel world and others don't?, if i'm not in a privilaged situation, what should be my outlook in life?, why did planet happy devlop into being this magical land of dreams while earth didn't? what is it of our human psychology that did that?, why do some people find happiness?, how do they do it?Why won't this anime answer any fucking question?

even in the ending, the resolution is that the octopus sacrifices himself to travel back in time once more and do things right for real this time. Because even as adult, everyone was depressed, no one was able to really recover or move on. So in this reset what changes in the general actitude of the protagonist that allowed them to finally live happily?, well, nothing much, she shows weakness and the bully just completely collapses and everything is fixed now I guess.I hate this for so many reasons. FIrwst of all I don't think this really solves anything, I don't think it really says a solution, but more than that, I hate that the ending is just "let's go back in time again". The message I recieve is that if you're an adult living with trauma, honeslty you're out of luck. We don't have a takopi in our lifes that can deus ex all of our problems away, and I just find frustrating that this anime will refuse to answer the question of how to be happy in a painful world, taht it doesn't adress how to moev on, it's just, there is nothing in this anime that you canreally learn from as a human.

This anime exists for one reason and one reason alone, which is to be emotional, this isn't inherently bad, I loev stuff like I want to ear your pancreas for examples, however, one thing I really fucking hate is nihilim. When the message is that the world sucks and lacks meaning and it's all pain and you can't do anything about it, that boils my blood, because it's just not true. It's possible to be happy, there are solutions to all of the problems takopi depict, however these are solutions that the anime will refuse to acknowledge. In addition ,if you were to subscribe that general ideology takopi spreads. Honestly I think you're going to live a very misserable life. You need hope in this life, not to drown in your own misery.

I think in that way it diffeers to animes like anohana or pancras,. THey don't really need to refuse to acknowledge solutions to make them emotionally powerful.

The writing in this anime is just very bad, one thing thatI really hate about this anime is the lack of any sort of foreshadowing, or in general for them to really commit to what they have already said. For example, on episode 1 they talk about the rules of using magiacl gadgets, this is a plot point that is utilized in like the next scene, and then never agian, you spent like 30 seconds explaining the mechanics of how doraemon works only to not really make use of it. Same withj magial gadgets, again the one that doraemon gives to the protagonist girl in episode 1, not really brought up again. Whenever they kill the other girl and hide the corpse using alien technology, did the police not care about finding ALIEN TECHNOLOGY on a crime scene involging the death of a grade school kid?, anda gain, the ending is the worst, the camera was broken but yeah I can kill myself to make it work again, this was never really ever explained or could be predicted, and it's that way by design so you don't seee it coming and have a emotionalr reaction or it, but it's just such a coward way to write this story, it's horrible

plaed in D rank, I really hate this style of anime.

You should see the authors' other work "The ichinose family's deadly sins." Started off as a linear yet pretty good story to unravel. Like each family member representing a sin. But then along the way, it completely derailed to something extremely confusing for no reason. As you say above, questions un-answered and a very vague ending. Apparently it's his "writing style" but I kinda wish he would've stick to the linear yet well written story instead of this confusing mess.

This is not a suggestion btw. Just wanted to yap.

signalis

not my cup of tea, but despite that, i've enjoyed it.

Signalis is a survival horror game, akin to old titles like the original resident evil games, with a sci-fi setting. There really isn't any real narrative thread pushing you torwards beating it, by that I mean, while the game does have a story, it's not like mario that you have the goal of rescuing the princess, or metal gear where the goal is to infiltrate the facility, you just kinda boot up the game, play it, and then you learn what the fuck is going on later.

Survival horrors are in general games I don't really fuck with, despite having played stuff like fear anad hunger multiple times or the recently released look ouside, I tend to fidn them frustrating. THe way these games handle horror is quite different to a scary movie for example, they're not reliant on jumpscares, and in fact the whole horror thing is reserved torwards the atmosphere. The way these games become scary is honestly just fucking with the base mechanics and concepts of videogames as a whole, stuff like, "oh yeah you have limited resources and you can very much fuck up your savefile", so whenever a enemy jum ps at you from out of nowhere, and you burn out all your ammo and healing, because if not the enemy would have for sure killed you and you would have lost 40 minutes of gameplay you get scared. You're scared of either losing progerss or not being able to beat the game.

Having said all of that, I didn't find signalis scary, and that is because I found it to be quite easy, (but tbf I didnt fidn games like fear and hunger super scary either, again, it was more frustrating than anything else, didn't get a thrill whenever the run started going to shit, but instead I got annoyed). In signalis more enemies are easily avoidable, and frankly, not much icentive to even kill them, since they will respawn uunless you use a certain item you only get halfway into the game. There is health regeneration as well, you can't regen to full health, however, the game will warn you whenever you're 1 hit away of dying, and then it will slowly regen torwaerds you having around 3 hits. Not a lot, but more than enough to get from checkpoint to checkpoint without using health items.

The chekpoint system is also generous for this type of game. Signalis maps are not lineal, instead you have a small, closed section with a lot of puzzles. You will be backtracking and going ovber the same rooums over and over, this includes checkpoints. My final game stats indicated I had a total of an average time of 8 miutes and a half between each save, common enough for me to not dread losing progress, because if I have to redo 8 minutes, that's not too big of a deal.

This kinad leads to a typical items in a rpg escenario, where you're always reserving it for "the right moment". I've got to the end of the game and I don't think i've used 15% of the consumables. There is just no reason to really use them, and since the game is made so you fear the future of your playthrough, you always keep saving them.

While I found the general moving around and picking up stuff fun, I don't really fuck with the puzzles, mainly because i0m not a puzzle fan, but also because frankly, in this specific case, it does ruin my immersion of the game a bit. Whenever I play a game, I like to rp, to really see things from the eye of the protagonist.

Let's say you're in signalis, there are hoards of zombies outside the door, however, inside the room you're safe. Inside the room there is a pathway that you must cross that is locked by a 3 digit password. In this situation you could either go outside, risk dying yourself, to find a document that explains the password (if such document even exists), or... you could just brute force it?, try every combination?, it's not too long where that isn't a possibility. For the record i've not brute forced anything because I knew it wouldn't be fun, but I really wanted to as the lust feel the thing my character would have done in that situation.

Now t, the story. Frankly I didn't care at all. While signalis does have a plot, I don't like the way it's told, it's very reminiscent to something like dark souls or hollow knight, it's all essentially just lore. You pick up items and stuff that tell you about the backstory of something or explains some of the worldbuilding, and then you mustpuece everything out. I don't really like this format, because it would make a otherwise very simple story into one that is hard to understand, but that is kind of the point. Signalis has so many layers of abstraction to the story, mainl, because a lot of people just like that the story is hard to understand. Not necessarily deep, but hard to understand.

This game also puts a lot of importance on it's visuals. it has a very retro style thanks to the pixel art and the crt filter, but in addition to that, it uses other techniques considered to be cool. One of them, is the monogatary technique of just flashing random text that you cant understasnd or read fast enough even if you understood what was saying, to your face, this game will just flash german and japanese text to your face for no rason, what does the text say? it quite literally does not matter, however, it does look cool.

In this regard, having the story be lore rather than an actual plot helps to build ambiance, which I will admit, is very well done and cool.

Placd on A rank, I think this game is cool despite be shitting on it a lot.

Heavy Rain (Dropped)

Dropped this at the halfway point, not because I think it was atrocious, but because touhou 20 just came out and this game is just boring as fuck and I want to play touhou 20. Also, ironic that I had not played any game of this genre like a month ago and now i'm on the third one even if I didn't particullary love any of them.

Heavy Rain is one of those interactive tv show type of game, directed by everyone's favourite, david cage. The plot surrounds this guy called the origami killer, a serial killer that kidnaps children. You play as a diverse cast of characters who each has a different reason to try to catch the killer.

The gameplay is terrible, it once again features quick time events and running around for clues. The quick tiem events of this game are pretty bad, mainly beacuse it's not your typical press x to do y, but instead they ask you to click and hold and move around the mouse, and the general detection of movement and speed was bad.

Another problem is that you often have no fucking clue what a quick time event does until you do it. You have no clue what anything does until you do it. For example, in the wolf among us or blacksad, the button indicators would be a small thing overlayed with the actual item, so if there is a note on the table, and the indicator appeared over the note, you know you will be picking up the note. Heavy rain instead when you're close to a interactable element, a really big visual indicator on a random spot on the screen, soyou will very often do things that you didn't intend to do.

The camera is bad, mainly because it feels the world was not designed with the camera angles that they go for in mind, you consistnetly have to move to places that are outside your vision to advance the game, the game has a button to switch camera angles but this only works halfway, the realistic visual style also harms this, as a lot of times you don't even know where you are going in the first place as it's really not indicated, you just walk around until a pop up appears.

This game also must be played in long sessions, you can't manually save and have to rely on autosave, and idk the if it's because this is an older game that i'm running on a SSD, but... the autosave icon would just never appear????? I had to guess when the game saved????? (I never had any problems where I thought the game saved where it didn't, as I only quitted during the very clearly divided chapters but what the fuck man)

Now, regarding the story, once again it doesn't erally lean too hard in the whole "your actions matter" aspect, there aren't many decisions, half of them don't really matter, it's mainly character deaths that are a problem, but even those don't really matter that much, the story of each character is dissconnected enough from each other than even if someone dies the plot can continue without much problem. The story is very clearly lineal and this game will do anything to make sure the story continues as it's supposed to, leading to a very, very contrived story with plot points that begin and are not elaborated upon.

The story isboring, it's a mistery but it's approach ois more about moral problems and challenges than to catch the killer, this is fine, but the actual moral problems suck. Like one of the scenes involved me walking into the house of a random guy without a warrant, beat the fuck out of him, and had the choice of shooting or not when the guy tried to defend himself. I chose not to shoot and then the guy was like "you're really brave for doing that I would have shot" ????? bro this is fucking horrible I would have let you die before shooting the guy straight up. The moral problems are too white or black

also, I had heard this was one of those "so bad it's good videogame", but even while failing every quicktime event I still got bored.

placed on D rank

takopi anime review

oh boy, already watched it

tldr: fuck nilism man

already ranted about this anime to at least 3 peole I know, the plot is about this space octopus that is kind of a pardy of doraemon (they have magical gadgets that they pull and can use), and triges to help this depressed girl who suffers from bullying. The octopus doesn't know shit about the human race and wont learn, instead always coming to the wrong conclusions, this doesn't cange during the rest of the anime.

Let's get the good out of the way, this anime knows how to hit your emotional strings, the topis that they tackle are heavy, the situation is anything but subtle, it's cruel but in a way that you feel a story like this is plausible. All of the reveals and plot twists are impactful, the animatin is really good to add to that.

That's where my praises end, I think the writing of this anime is just pure ass. I think a good first step is to think what the message of tis anime is, is it a realistic and grounded depiction and study on bullying, both from the perspective of the one being bullied and the bully?, no, it is not, it's so extreme of a situation that if something like this were to happen irl, it would be the edgest of the edge cases. If all of the campaigns to educate peopel about bullying has told me anything is that real world bullying both has more nuances and it isn't as transparent. At least where I live, if you were to idk, fucking assault the other students laugh at them in public and quite literally write stuff like slut on their already broken backpack, you would at least be called out for doing so, but I guess teachers and the such just straight up don't exist in this anime.

so what's the point?, we know this situation is, we know that the author fantasized this situation just to inflict maximum pain on the characters, so what's the goal?, I think the first and most obvious deduction is that the world is a cruel place. Both our emotional reaction to the events and the general dialogue of the octopus, trying to understand the human race only to be confused by our evil doings. I'm fine with this, I agree the world is cruel and that humankind is more often than not evil. So you, so I , the ones living in this cruel world, what should we do? THe anime doesn't offer a solution, it just screams THE WORLD IS EVIL and then refuses to elaborate. Why is it that some people thrive in this cruel world and others don't?, if i'm not in a privilaged situation, what should be my outlook in life?, why did planet happy devlop into being this magical land of dreams while earth didn't? what is it of our human psychology that did that?, why do some people find happiness?, how do they do it?Why won't this anime answer any fucking question?

even in the ending, the resolution is that the octopus sacrifices himself to travel back in time once more and do things right for real this time. Because even as adult, everyone was depressed, no one was able to really recover or move on. So in this reset what changes in the general actitude of the protagonist that allowed them to finally live happily?, well, nothing much, she shows weakness and the bully just completely collapses and everything is fixed now I guess.I hate this for so many reasons. FIrwst of all I don't think this really solves anything, I don't think it really says a solution, but more than that, I hate that the ending is just "let's go back in time again". The message I recieve is that if you're an adult living with trauma, honeslty you're out of luck. We don't have a takopi in our lifes that can deus ex all of our problems away, and I just find frustrating that this anime will refuse to answer the question of how to be happy in a painful world, taht it doesn't adress how to moev on, it's just, there is nothing in this anime that you canreally learn from as a human.

This anime exists for one reason and one reason alone, which is to be emotional, this isn't inherently bad, I loev stuff like I want to ear your pancreas for examples, however, one thing I really fucking hate is nihilim. When the message is that the world sucks and lacks meaning and it's all pain and you can't do anything about it, that boils my blood, because it's just not true. It's possible to be happy, there are solutions to all of the problems takopi depict, however these are solutions that the anime will refuse to acknowledge. In addition ,if you were to subscribe that general ideology takopi spreads. Honestly I think you're going to live a very misserable life. You need hope in this life, not to drown in your own misery.

I think in that way it diffeers to animes like anohana or pancras,. THey don't really need to refuse to acknowledge solutions to make them emotionally powerful.

The writing in this anime is just very bad, one thing thatI really hate about this anime is the lack of any sort of foreshadowing, or in general for them to really commit to what they have already said. For example, on episode 1 they talk about the rules of using magiacl gadgets, this is a plot point that is utilized in like the next scene, and then never agian, you spent like 30 seconds explaining the mechanics of how doraemon works only to not really make use of it. Same withj magial gadgets, again the one that doraemon gives to the protagonist girl in episode 1, not really brought up again. Whenever they kill the other girl and hide the corpse using alien technology, did the police not care about finding ALIEN TECHNOLOGY on a crime scene involging the death of a grade school kid?, anda gain, the ending is the worst, the camera was broken but yeah I can kill myself to make it work again, this was never really ever explained or could be predicted, and it's that way by design so you don't seee it coming and have a emotionalr reaction or it, but it's just such a coward way to write this story, it's horrible

plaed in D rank, I really hate this style of anime.
