Z Nation was a show I started watching in 2014 when it was first released.
It's was a ripoff of Walking Dead but it was fresh with the comedy and such. I really enjoy following 10K, Roberta, Doc and such. Then the show changed a bit by bit and it began to be painful to watch. The last season I drop out because it was becoming overtly boring and SJW.
I still believe the show was good in the beginning. Only watch the first three seasons then it began ridiculous.

TV Series Review: Big Bang Theory & Modern Family
Here we go...
Big Bang Theory started a long time and in my opinion if they had been started today it would been cancelled within a single season because of society now sees shows. They criticize everything and penny "the dumb" blonde would have been criticized so much... But thank the gods it wasn't and it stay with us for 13 or 14 years. Really enjoyed the show with my wife and I believe it ended when it was supposed to end. I have no doubts it will stay as a show to the future.
Modern Family still rages on and it's different in every way comparing with BBT. This show either will stay for more ten years or the characters will leave. They are well established as a solid show. Diverge characters with interesting takes on politics, gender and other issues.
I enjoy it.

TV Series Review: Scream, Sex Education & Society (2019)
How the might have fallen. The new series is a SJW crap that deserves to be forgotten. I hope it is. I only saw because I enjoy the first two seasons but I really regret how it turn out. With 6 episodes is smaller than the previous and missing EVERYTHING the other two seasons had. Spooky scenes; thriller, interesting characters... The only reason they made this one was because of the black characters. The only two white characters, in the show, were a drug dealer and the killer itself. Enfin.
The other two shows Sex Education & Society. Both are SJW as well. The only difference is that Sex Education is not as bad as the other two. Society is a bunch of socialist crap in some episodes and then good in others. The story was made by different directors and it seems they were not in accordance on the path to take. See here my innitial thoughts.... Another show that will be forgotten with time.
In the last we've got Sex Education - is also SJW but it's not as crappier as the other two.It tries to convey ideas but unfortunately again they were taken a little two far.
Advisable: Only Sex Education can be advisable but I really don't know who I would suggest...

TV Series Review: Hot Zone (2019) & Chernobyl (2019)
This TV Series is a retelling of what happened in the USA when they first suspected the Ebola virus was present in some animals. It's a very interesting take on it. It focus a lot on drama but in a good way. With 6 episodes you got a nice thriller with rapid development. Meanwhile we've got a story within a story of events that happened earlier.
SIDA or AIDS when discovered was atrributed to some part of society that had no really power to make things going. With some important people dying on it they start researching it and try to amend. Ebola was a bit different since they already knew the chaos and death that caused.
To anyone who enjoys thrillers and inspired in real events this is a much watch.
Chernobyl is also a thriller but not as fast paced. It's more history focus on a great catastrophe and it's the vision we (occidentals) have on it. After all history remembers as a accident product of soviet communism while the Russians view it as accident fruit of CIA. Who is right? Nobody knows because history is changeable - it depends on who writes it or who is in power.
I seldom saw a more interesting history-focus tv series and I really enjoy it. Advisable to anyone.

Kyoto Animation - Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (Spring 2006; Spring 2009 & Winter 2010)
The ones I watched - let me focus only on bigger Series....
- Hyouka (Spring 2012) with 22 Episodes - it's on my top 10 animes
- Amagi Brilliant Park (Fall 2014) with 13 Episodes
- Violet Evergarden (Winter 2018) with 13 episodes
- Tamako Market (Winter 2013) With 12 episodes plus a movie
I've just finished
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu with two seasons each 14 episodes plus a movie. Review below...
Next to watch
Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! 24 Episodes (divided in two seasons) plus some movies; ovas and specials. or Kyoukai no Kanata - I am still undecided.
One I am going to watch in the near future, probably afterwards and slowly is going to be Clannad with 50 episodes..
Undecided yet of the date but still this year Liz to Aoi Tori , Nichijou, Hibike! Euphonium & Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon
Undecided Air, Kanon (2006), Lucky☆Star & K-On!. Free! & Tsurune: Kazemai Koukou Kyuudoubu Unot now.
Well Suzumiya... What to think of that... The series are divided in three things. Two searies each with 14 episodes then a full lenght movie with more than two hours. It could easily been made into a TV series althought I understood why they didn't.
The series follow Kyon the narrator and protagonist of the series. He is a sarcastic and easy going guy who is drawn to Suzumiya way of life. After meeting him she starts a club called SOS Brigade where the goal is to help people against the supernatural, extraterrestrial and such. Three members later enter the club; Yuki Nagato which is a bibliophile that gives no hint of any kind of feelings or emotions - we later understand that she is god-like being. Then we've got Mikuru; a time-traveler who was assigned to investigate the reason why no-one can travel back more than 3 years. Then'v you've got Koizumi an esper.
All three characters join to either control Suzumiya or to investigate why the world is the way it is. Basically when Suzumiya gets bored the world suffers with it - a fracture reality pocket of some sorts appears and within monsters threaten reality.
The reason is never explained on why she has this kind of powers... The series were released within two seasons but they were not chronologically released. I've seen it chronologically and seeing now I believe it's the correct way.
The first season is very good with a lot of good tales where our characters really develop. The second season has the infamous Endeless Eight where Kyoto Animation made 8 episodes that have very small differences but fundamentally they are identical. The reason to my knowledge was never really given. In my opinion three episodes are more than sufficient and you can safely skip the fourth to seventh episode - if you want.
The movie is the crown jewel of the series in my opinion. It focus a lot on Kyon with great monologues and really develop him. Haruhi unfortunately is absent most of the time which is rather unfortunate.
I would advise anyone to watch it; but skip those endless eight episodes (except the first and last).
Is it the best from Kyoto Animation? Not by a long chance. Hyouka is way better - but if you compare with other seasonal animes it's top notch.

Spring of 2019 - Attack on Titan & Kono Oto Tomare! & Senryuu Shoujo & Bokutachi
 |
| Bokutachi |
Some will continue for the next saeason I will not talk about them here...
- Kimetsu no Yaiba (it will continue for next coeur)
- Carole & Tuesday (it will continue for next coeur)
- Fruits Basket (2019) (it will continue for next coeur)
- Mix (it will continue for next coeur)
- Kono Yo no Hate de Koi wo Utau Shoujo YU-NO
- Nande Koko ni Sensei ga!? (I will only rate it when I see the uncensored version...)
- Fruits Basket (2019) (it will continue for next coeur)
- Mix (it will continue for next coeur)
- Kono Yo no Hate de Koi wo Utau Shoujo YU-NO
- Nande Koko ni Sensei ga!? (I will only rate it when I see the uncensored version...)
So what was the best for me? Let me tell you and rate them probably in three posts.
Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3 Part 2 - this season was drama and action at it's best. I could hope nothing more. There were a lot of new information regarding what are Titans and how they related one another. They've also talked about the world around the walls and how everything is connected. Of course there were some people who talk and argue that this was some kind of jewish & Nazi correlation but people are dumb. Enjoy anime as it should be - Anime. If some correlation exists then who am I to criticize? I am enjoying it as a whole. I would rate 9/10
 |
| Kono Oto Tomare! |
Kono Oto Tomare! a nice slice of life mixing music and a bit of nuance of romance... very thin.It's more about growing up. Really loved the interaction between the characters. Coming from Platinium Vision which I didn't have any good news like Devil's Line & Servamp I was really surprised. Chika Kudou was a nice character with good development like Satowa Houzuki. Began as a cold girl and slowly changed. The music was really awesome I even search for more music played with Koto. 9/10
Senryuu Shoujo this story really lift me up. A nice romance story about a girl who only talks through Senryuu (imagine haiku) and a former deliquent who is really a nice warming guy. Inbtween there are a lot of characters around them who mostly want them to see together. Really interesting. Wish for a second season. The series are 12 minutes length. 8/10
Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai is another romance story about a boy who is teaching three girls. It's very witty and funny. All of them fall in love with him (well my favourite it's the childhood friend Uruka Takemoto) and there are even one another girl who begins loving him. There is also a hint of some sex tension between him and his teacher (Kirisu).
Although probably not going to happen. This feels like romcom where you choose one girl and go from there. Some episodes really focus on this and we never know which one he will choose - although in the last couple episodes It's hinted that he loves Uruka but... who knows.
This story comes from Silver (who never did anything besides a OVA almost 15 years ago) & Arvo Animation which also only did a OVA. Really suprised with it. 8/10. A second season is on the making.

Audiobook Review: Mission: Purge
Mission: Purge by Gav ThorpeMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
This is another weak audiobook. A group of space marines from various chapters converged in a Deatwatch Kill team in the service of the inquisition are investigating a ship that two years before travelled to a planet that moments later was Exterminatus because a genestealer infestation.
Ok, I don't even know how to rate this book. Nothing happens besides - (view spoiler).
Criticism
1) No character development. Urbino and Artemis (See spoiler)
2) No plot development (Again the spoiler).
3) Audiobook - Price.
Praises
1) I'm afraid it's hard to fine any praise whatsoever. Maybe, and only maybe - the Doom Eagles are mention by the Space Wolves as he tries to find who his Urbino.
Final Thoughts 2/10
Again. Why buy this? Black Library prey on my gullible to buy everything they publish. I have yet to find a book I say "it's weak as hell". But audiobooks... Almost all of them.
Advisable
If you are rich or get it for free. 72m you won't have them back.

Book Review: Check and Checkmate
Check and Checkmate by Walter M. Miller Jr.My rating: 5 of 10 stars
It's a great short story - novella?
It's a satire about two isolated superpowers. Imagine that you live in one site of a wall and the other are another super power you don't know nothing about? Imagine now that the level of suspicion and fear is so much that the president has ten doubles and he never show is face around. Authoritarian vs Communist. It was interesting to see the level of paranoia of the USA/Liberty/Authoritarian goverment against an Pan-Russia/Asian Communism... that you know nothing about.
It was nice to see the reactions of both leaders as they tried to talk and at the same time to threat each other. It has a nice twist in the end.
Politics are always fun...
If you want to picture this story, picture north korea... what do you know about them? Almost nothing, now imagining being south korea and knowing nothing about what is happening in the north part of the country and always living in fear that they will attack you... It will consume you... It will turn you to what you most fear...
Small and good... I advice to anyone.

Audiobook Review: Doctor Who: The Evil of the Daleks
Doctor Who: The Evil of the Daleks by John PeelMy rating: 8 of 10 stars
What means having the human factor? What does it mean to have the Dalek factor? This tale takes back to the nineteen century where the daleks are trying to figure what makes humans... human. As they test on Jamie the Doctor uses three daleks as subject as per accord of the other daleks. As they are transported to the Dalek homeworld the Doctor meets the Dalek Emperor where he says that the daleks are doomed since some of them are now "human". The emperor reveals that all of that research was to have a dalek factor and put the doctor working for them as he would travel through time and infect the dalek factor in all human race.
Of course nothing of this happens since now some of the daleks are human they have free will and start question the emperor orders and it result in full civil war.
Quite a critic on humankind Mr directors of Doctor Who.
One of the best Dr Who novels,scripts. It's unfortunate that only 1 episode of 7 survives...
This is also the first episode with Victoria. What a charming beautiful girl. It will be a pleasure seeing her in the adventures with Jamie and the Doctor.

Thoughts XXXV: Generic Main Characters in Anime
One of the reasons I critizize animes is because of the main protagonists. As I am watching To Aru Majutsu no Index I feel that this main character is a lot like other main characters on animes. Generic White Knights who don't know how to give up, and even put themselves at risk while overcoming odds that are impossible to achieve. This upsets me a lot. That's why in novels I like grimdark fantasy where the main characters have flaws, they can even have very bad traits. Most are anti-heroes or even evil doers (40K I'm looking at you).
These main characters are all the same. They fight save and have harems. There are absurd amount of animes with these characters. That's why I gave up on this anime and I was trying to finish I remember why I had previously given up.
There are very few shows who can get away with this - Dan Machi is one of them.
Look at Rising of Shield Hero; Re:Zero - both main characters have a lot of flaws - and that's w reason why people love them. Why can't the authors understand this?

Audiobook Review: Doctor Who and the Abominable Snowmen
Doctor Who and the Abominable Snowmen by Terrance DicksMy rating: 6 of 10 stars
A nice Doctor Who story. One of the first with Victoria Waterfield but as all other previous female characters she is under used. She is considered by all as a helpless girl even if she think she is not. The men take part of the investigation and the conclusion of the mystery. Victoria as almost no part on it besides being a puppet.
Kind of spoilers ahead.
I like the idea of Yeti and the Himalayas but unfortunately there wasn't a single drop of snow. What a dissapointing. I also enjoy the idea behind the yeti being machines controled by The Great Intelligence.

Book Review: Curse of the Everliving
Curse of the Everliving by David GuymerMy rating: 3 of 10 stars
First of all. I don't like audiobooks or ebooks. But I hear it nevertheless.
This was the second audiobook of Gotrek and Felix. This was is like the previous ones that don't follow a fix timeline. But being on snow and near kislev I would say that this book is between two of these novels: Beastslayer, Vampireslayer or Giantslayer.
The story is quite simple as they discover some being they battle and Gotrek Won. End of audiobook. It is not. It's a book that will leave you as empty as before reading. We learn nothing about the characters. And that's horrible. What I want is to my characters develop and after each novel of Gotrek and Felix learn a bit more about them. In this one I learn nothing. Ah... And the voice of Felix is horrible. The sound effects are good.
Unless you are a die hard fan of BL or G&F don't bother.
