I actually haven't read the books, so I'm going into this blind. But the action is really well done and the story has peaked my interest. If I end up loving the series, I might be inclined to check out the books.
I finished Rilakkuma and Kaoru and Derry Girls. Now I'm watching...
- My Mad Fat Diary (almost finished)
- The End of the [censored?] World (watched the first 3 episodes; it confuses me a bit and I'm not sure if I'll continue)
- Crashing (started watching on Netflix last night; it's not the most amazing show ever but I'll probably finish it)
I just finished Season 2 of Outlander on Netflix. I absolutely loved Season 1, but Season 2 started out as a bit of a disappointment. I'm not sure if it was the location change or the difference in Claire and Jamie's relationship, but I just didn't feel the same draw. That all changed halfway through with their return to Scotland, though. Everything just felt right again and the season ended strong.
Season 3 is now available and I will be starting it soon, but I am a bit wary of it. I'm not sure how it will play out based on where we left off.
Finished You Season 2. I thought the season overall was more entertaining than the first one, but I'm not a fan of the twist or the ending. I don't mind the twist itself, but just the writing choices in the last three episodes... I don't agree with them.
The Witcher was really good but I would have liked a little more for the ending. I know that it will be continued in another season, but the ending just felt like any random episode. I still really liked the series, though, and can't wait for more.
The Aventures of Figaro Pho was fun for the first season. I liked the concept that each episode, or mini-episode since there were 3 shorts in each episode, was devoted to a particular phobia. It was unique. Unfortunately, when the show returned for a second season as The New Adventures of Figaro Pho, they did away with the phobias. The animation got an upgrade, they expanded the characters, but they removed the one aspect that had first drawn me in. So I didn't like the second season nearly as much as the first.
i just finished watching tuca and bertie last night and i'm sad there's no next season :'( i really liked the show and the topics that were addressed and it made me feel a lil bit less scared about being an "adult" because you never really stop growing so there's always going to be something you have to deal with/improve on and stuff and just. wow. also the animation!! *chefs kiss* plus i really like speckle because he reminds me of my boyfriend :> such a sweet nerd who should have gotten his own arc had there been more episodes gosh. but i do like the spot the series stopped in because you know those birds are gonna keep moving forward and become better versions of themselves!!
i also recently binge watched the royal tutor and run with the wind!! also carole and tuesday!! and i'm trying to finish hilda tonight if i don't get distracted. i am,, mostly just watching as much stuff as i can before break ends ahuhuhu :')
Today I finished up Season 2 of Marco Polo on Netflix. It's kind of a shame that it didn't get another season because I really enjoyed the show. The only thing I didn't care for was the blatant animal cruelty that was portrayed, but in any historical drama, especially ones involving battles on horseback, that is unfortunately something that often gets shown.
It's been a while since I've watched a good K-drama, so today I started watching Mr. Sunshine. I really like the time period that it is set in and the imagery looked really beautiful to me. The first episode started off with a lot of emotion, so I'm looking forward to watching more of this series.
I also watched the first episode of Magia Record, the new Madoka Magica anime.
