TV Series: Daybreak (2019)

Can you mix Ferris Bueller; The Warriors & Mad Max? Apparently you can. And the son/daughter would be Daybreak. 

If you dislike flashbacks, political commentary and or millennial you will not probably like this.

True be told some of the jokes were not for me and as the episodes went forward I stop caring and enjoying the show and I did. Watch it two days.

There is cringe like Batwoman, Superwoman and other crappy shows but this you could take it as a comedy and critic at the same time.

Basically the world went kaput and all adults died... no reason, no explanation (well they think it was due to HPV Vaccination) only kids survive. I was read a book that the same thing happened but only young people before menstruation and such lived. Okay I can dig that.

We follow Josh as he tries to survive the apocalyptic world throughout multiple gangs, basically the school jokey, musical groups, gardening and such. He is on a quest to save Sam (his love) while he meets Angelica a 12 year girl who is a genius pyromaniac gangster wannabe and Wesley black gay samurai wannabe. We meet a lot of other people who help or hinder him. Not all episodes are solely focus on Josh but also on other characters. There are a lot of flashbacks. Episode 8 is completely flashback while 9 is probably half of it.

Some adults (two that we know) don't turn into zombies - one is Principal Burr (Ferris Bueller) and Ms Crumble. But why? We don't know. 

OF course there were things that bothered... All that crap about different types of genders; that scary consent app, the all nut allergies agenda and of course woman power over men. Oh not to forget the all white over black. All the don't call woman bad names BUT woman could call man names with impunity.

Overall a nice trip but most people will not enjoy it.

Interesting the "good" group is mostly non-white (except the white savior and his ex-new-girlfriend (?)

Nice Ending. Let us see what the second season will bring.

Anime Reivew: Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku (Fall 2016)

If anyone compares the anime to Madoka I would not be surprised.  Both are Magical Girl anime gone wrong. While Madoka took the world by storm this one not as much.

In Madoka since it was original nobody knew what was coming while this one we knew because of the light novels.

While Madoka we follow a bunch of heroines in this one we follow 16 magical girls albeit it focus with a episodic feel. In each episode it focus one or two and one of them die. Yeah.

Madoka is more grimdark because of the story, the reason behind it all and the fall from grace. This one it started fine with magical girls trying to help people (some) while we are introduced to some magical girls that took advantage of it. It took only 3 episode to learn that Ikusei Keikaku was going to be a royal rumble with killing girls. I must say some were really heartbroken. Tsubame "Top Speed" Murota was killed while pregnant.  Nana "Sister Nana" Habutae killed herself after her best friend (probably lover) was killed.

In Madoka there aren't that many kills per se but it's more tragic. In Ikusei Keikaku since there are more deaths. Danganronpa is way better in terms of battle royal. Juuni Taisen as well. (Danganronpa is better).

Then you've got Mahou Shoujo Site it's another magical girl show. Dark and battles between themselves. Asagiri Aya sure suffered a lot (well to be honest almost all of them suffered a lot.... or were bullies themselves.

This kind of show is very interesting but way depressing. Symbols of hope and happiness turn dark and despair. After watching one of these shows usually I turn to a more light hearted anime. It drains me.

The ending was quite bad. To be blunt it was not bad it was anti-climatic.... Spoilers ahead.

Basically our main girl (for all purposes it's our main girl) Koyuki (white rabbit) it's at times non-existent. Her backstory it's not that good compared with all screen time the show gave all other non-main girls and in the end Swim Swim one of our antagonists becomes the real focus of the show. 

It's to no surprise that 5 other supporting characters are more loved in MAL than Koyuki. Even the other "main" character Kano Sazanami it's even better portrayed than Koyuki. Koyuki it's there always on the sideline and the only one that really didn't enter any combat. We don't even know what are her powers besides hearing other people minds (at times, not always).

Then we've got the dead of Ako Hatoda the Alice in the Darkland if you will.... She dies because her identity was found by another magical girl. Which it's very stupid because in episode 2 or 3 Souba Kishibe reveals himself to Koyuki (and her to him/her) and nothing happens. They don't lose their powers -why? Pretty crappy plothole. 

I believe this was very bad written. I truly believe this was a try to make more connectable characters but felt flat. The pain of Koyuki never felt real. Swim Swim cold being never was explained (besides she being a child) and all other characters...

I don't believe they will be making a second season... besides I don't know where this could go next... Only two survivors...

TV Series Review: Thoughts - Evil (2019) & Creepshow (2019)

So I've started watching Evil & Creepshow.

Creepshow is so far a okay show. Nothing particulary interesting. A bit old school to be honest. I really hope it spices up. But it's okay.

Now Evil. This show started very interesting with three people trying to understand if one killer was really evil or posssessed by a devil. It was very entertaining BUT the second episode they had to screw up. Basically a girl died but when they were doing the autopsy she just got up. After investigation they tried to understand if it was something a priest had done or an apparation that they saw in a tape. BUT of course it was not. It was just racism because when they are treating white people they try to reanimate a bit longer than black... Oh my god. So cringe. I will try watching one more episode and if something like this appears I am going to drop it. I really hate this kind of clinches...
