I'm currently on the third episode of lockwood & co. (Never read the books or anything, it just showed up on my main page). And I love it!! But one thing that I love the most: The lighting <3

I know that it's after sundown, and that we are in a spooky house in the complete dark, yet I see EVERYTHING!!! Without any issues!!!! And it's still spooky, and I still wonder what's happening in the dark and I love it!

So, watch it for the story, and for that amazing lighting!

So I was looking through some reviews on the bastard son and the devil himself and came across this

And I must say…

So true bestie! The minute I laid my eyes on Gabriel Boutin any hope of being straight was gone. Poof, nada. While i may not have converted to the gay life style my bisexual levels are through the roof!

Anyway go watch the bastard son and the devil himself, Netflix did very little in the way of advertising it most places and it’s really worth a watch!!

Daily Dose of Sunshine

[ K-drama / Medical Drama ]

Where to watch: Netflix

Rating: 9/10

Warning: Unaliving, mental trauma, mental health disorder portrayals

It's been so long since I last posted a k-drama review. I kind of fell off from k-dramas because of the time they require to finish series. If you've read my manga reviews, you already know that I struggle to finish long series. Anyways, <Daily Dose of Sunshine> is a recent k-drama that follows a nurse in a psychiatric hospital and her journey with her mentality as well.

Amazing story. The story flows really well. It starts kind of dark, which is ironic because of the title, but I loved how it warmed up overtime. The romance element doesn't overpower the message too much. Great balance

Amazing message. The k-drama goes about mental health disorders in realistic and easy ways for the audience to understand. There's a lot of good quotes in this movie. Some parts were kind of soul-healing.

Great actors. Park Boyoung. DO I NEED TO SAY MORE?

As for the downsides:

Iffy story wrap-ups. I honestly don't have any big problems with this k-drama. But if I had to be picky, the solutions to the patients problems were so simple and "easy". They kind of bothered me a little. I understand it's because you can't stick on one story for too long, but it took away from the realistic aspect.

Overall,

If you're big on learning more about mental health disorders or advocating for them, I recommend picking up <Daily Dose of Sunshine>. I remember praising other content before for tackling what's usually known as "taboo" topics, and this k-drama would definitely join that praise list. I absolutely loved the portrayals of different mental health disorders, how it affects people, and how it affects their family. Great connection between a fun, romantic k-drama & mental health education.

Hey, I have a nice whumpy tv show rec! It's called "The Bastard Son & The Devil himself" and just came out on Netflix. It seems like a typical bad teen show at first glance but I actually thought it was pretty good. The main character is hurt in every episode. Over the course of the show he gets humilliated, stabbed, cut with a knife, kidnapped, kept in a cage, poisoned, scarred, sedated, cursed, shackled, punched and kicked (some of these multiple times). He almost dies several times, loses a finger and is beaten unconcious. And the other characters get their fair share as well. There is also so much emotional whump, and a bit of comfort and found family.

Ooo, sounds interesting! Thanks for the rec! It's been added to my list!

ONE DAY

↳book > screen

“If you muck me about, Dexter.” “I won’t-“ “I mean it, if you lead me on or let me down or go behind my back, I will murder you. I swear to God, I will eat your heart.”

“I won’t do that, Em.” “You won’t?” “I swear, I won’t.”

And then she frowned, and shook her head, then put her arms around him once more, pressing her face into his shoulder, making a noise that sounded almost like rage. “What’s up?” he asked. “Nothing. Oh, nothing. Just…” She looked up at him. “I thought I’d finally got rid of you.” “I don’t think you can,” he said.

Things I liked about the Netflix ATLA and some critiques:

Before you read. Please go watch the series, take off your blinders and keep an open mind. It’s surprisingly good. This review has spoilers.

They reordered some scenes so that emotional moments would have a larger pay off. Like getting to see and experience Aang’s relationship with Monk Gyatsu, and seeing his tribe before it was destroyed. So when he has his breakdown in the air temple with Sokka and Katara later, you really feel and understand his agony.

Azula is introduced earlier, with a story running simultaneously with the Aang’s journey but not involved with his. So she has a chance to be more fleshed out and explored before she becomes a major threat. Only time will tell if this more complicated Azula comes close to the animated one. Big shoes to fill, but not a bad start.

Fire Lord Ozai plays a more sinister and oppressive role. Not a faceless boogeyman anymore. You get to see his machinations and the cruel games he’s playing with his family, and see the emotional abuse that warps them.

Appa is adorable as fuck, and so is Momo. So well animated, such gorgeous care put into them.

Kyoshi, Kuruk, and Roku make more of an appearance. With Kyoshi narrating the prologue. And if you loved the novels you’ll see they incorporated more of Kyoshi and Kuruk’s backstory from the novels than what we saw in the animated cartoon.

The acting was competent, even if a little wonky at times. I found Sokka very endearing, I loved the kid they cast as Aang and you can tell they really tried to find a balance between serious and playful. They didn’t always hit it, but the effort was there.

Zuko was great. I think they nailed him and he had great chemistry with the actor playing Iroh.

King Bumi was great, I love how they made his internal struggles more complex. He wasn’t just a crazy old man anymore. He was a crazy old man who was weary and worn down by the horrors of loss and war. A crazy old man who struggled to reconcile that the best friend he lost is the avatar and wasn’t there for him.

I loved the costume and set design. It was like stepping into the actual world of ATLA. Cities were complex and well constructed. Every setting was incredible and the attention to detail was intense.

Zuko’s boat is full of artifacts he pilfered from the Air Nomads while hunting for the avatar.

They changed how Aang got the bison whistle so it makes more sense and fits more seamlessly into the story. It never made sense why a random peddler would be selling a bison whistle if air nomads and bison have been gone for 100 years. Not impossible for a peddler to do, but not probable. The Netflix series actually gave more meaning for the artifact and changed how Aang received it.

Emotional points in the show are now more intense and brought me to tears.

Commander Zhao is more competent and conniving, and his presence felt more dangerous and less comedic.

Sokka’s outright sexism was changed from putting girls down, to just manly machismo, talking himself up. Not gone, but not degrading. They decided to let the sexism message shine more prominently with the northern water tribe, rather than tackle it twice with Sokka too. (Sokka’s sexism being solved in one episode was never well written to begin with. And the animated series quickly forgot about it and moved on to him tackling more important issues, like his being a non bender inadequacy, his leadership journey, his physical combat journey, and him finding himself as more than just the funny sarcastic guy.) For time constraints, it was better the Netflix series did not to tackle the same problem twice, especially when you might not have the resources to give both sexism issues the gravity it deserves. By focusing the sexism problem to the northern water tribe they were able to give Katara more attention.

We got to see Katara’s water-bending go from being ultra sloppy and weak to badass. It feels like they are spending more time focusing on her developing into a warrior rather than being the mom of the group. I’m honestly not sad about it. She’s still the hope ridden, emotional glue, but now it feels like she explores that warrior side a little deeper. It felt so earned when she got the title of master at the northern water tribe finale.

The actor playing uncle Iroh nailed the role. I couldn’t think of a better live action adaptation of Iroh. I love him so much.

The shirshu looks fucking phemonal.

Koh was scary as fuck and I love it. They really nailed his horror elements. Even if I’m a little sad that they changed some things about his face stealing. (He eats faces now to steal them, rather than stealing when someone shows emotion.)

The three actresses who play Mei, Azula and Tailee actually look appropriate for their age. Since they are introduced earlier, they are clearly younger, and since this show is intended to get more seasons, the casting choice made sense as we are intended to watch these girls grow up over the course of the entire show. These actors will get older, and the characters will get more menacing and sharper. It’s great. It’s thoughtful. I love it.

We get to see Zuko’s dynamics with his crew more. And find out that he did more than just speak out against his father at that meeting. His outburst at that meeting saved an entire squad of soldiers, and they don’t even know it. Zuko feels such disdain and bitterness because of the situation, and his crew doesn’t even know why. It’s so complex, you can see how the abuse Zuko endured causes him to take out his anger on his crew, and in turn they are bitter back. And it’s this cycle, that festers. But the crew also grows with Zuko, they change and evolve as he evolves. And it’s such a delight to watch.

They could have cut the Secret Tunnel minstrels altogether, given the time constraints and that the episode was mostly fluff in season two. A fun romp, but not necessary. But the creators knew people loved the minstrels so they found a way to use them anyway. Because they knew they were special. I am thankful for that, even if they show up waaay earlier than they should.

I was honestly more sold on Sokka and Suki’s relationship in the live action. It’s was so adorkable. Do I wish it had more time to develop? Yeah, of course I love a good slow burn. But that didn’t mean it wasn’t fun as hell watching the two flirt so badly with each other. Sokka being a buffoon, and Suki overstepping and being too rough, before realizing she was being too hard.

Some Critiques:

They reordered some episode storylines to happen at the same time, and while it does bloat some episodes. it’s understandable due the episode and budget limitations. In the cartoon, during the inventor episode Katara didn’t have a lot to do, and during the freedom fighters episode Sokka didn’t have a lot to do. So they ended up combining both stories into one hour long episode in the live action, so that both Katara and Sokka would be involved in something. Is it the best? No. But it makes sense. I get it.

Katara starts off bland in the first episode and it takes a bit for her to grow into the character.

The past avatars can be a bit strong with the doom and gloom, and I wish they’d toned that back.

Koh and Heibei (I dunno how to spell the panda spirit’s name) got combined to the same episode, and Koh stole Heibei’s spotlight. Again, I understand why these got combined, but I think it could have been handled a little better and Heibei should have gotten more closure.

There should have been a ninth episode, placed between the two episode Koh storyline, and the Northern Water Tribe storyline. Why? Because the Koh storyline was really heavy and intense. And it leads right into the season finale. An extra ninth episode should have been added with a more lighthearted tone. Something to ease the tension between the two very intense storylines.

Aang should have been using a glider to flit about the temples in the first episode. But it’s not something that ruins the whole show. It was a dumb that only happens in a single episode in the season.

I really missed Momo and Appa’s presence. They appeared atleast once in every episode, but it was still sad they weren’t more of a presence. Again I understand why. They were so beautifully animated that everytime they were on screen it (without a doubt) cost the production thousands of dollars. They were generous including as many of the unique animals and creatures as they had.

I still don’t think Sokka had enough time to develop a relationship with Yue at the northern water tribe. It was rushed and contrived in the animated version, and it was rushed and contrived in this Netflix version. There also wasn’t any of the chemistry like Sokka had with Suki to make the whirlwind romance work. I never liked the romance from the original, and I wasn’t a fan of it here. But that’s ok, because it’s such a small and insignificant thing.

In conclusion most of the changes I can see made were due to budget, and episode limitations. The creators were clearly trying to bring theater-cinematic quality to what was essentially an eight hour long film. And you cannot deny that this show is stunning. Absolutely breathtaking. Most of the episodes cut were filler, and while hilarious and mostly loved by fans, were stories not as necessary in the grand scope. You could feel the love and appreciation the creators included in this series. It wasn’t soulless, it wasn’t a heartless cash grab, it wasn’t a shot for shot (thank god) but it also didn’t butcher the source material.

I understand that the animated show creators had creative differences with the live action Netflix adaptation creators. But that doesn’t mean that the Netflix series completely failed. As every fanfic writer out there knows, the original authors are not going to love what you create based on their works. Tolkien hated every adaptation of his works, HATED them. But no one is going about saying that the Lord of the Rings trilogy movies were hot garbage. A creator doesn’t have to endorse a project for it to be good.

Netflix ATLA is good, it’s not perfect. And it never was going to be perfect. The cartoon it was based on wasn’t perfect either. But the ATLA cartoon was definitely some huge shoes to fill that set a bar very high. Any adaptation was going to struggle to be just as good.

I think the Netflix adaptation was a treat and a pleasure to watch. I think people should go into it with an open mind and see that it’s not trying to replace the cartoon. It’s a love letter to the cartoon.

PS: According to behind the scenes commentary on the Nickelodeon ATLA cartoon, the reason we didn’t get a season 4 was because the creators wanted a live action film. Nickelodeon offered the original cartoon creators the option to make season 4 or to spend the budget meant for season four on a live action ATLA film. The original creators chose the live action film directed by M. Night Shamalan. They wanted a live action for their show over a 4th season. They had no idea M. night would butcher their baby with his pathetic film all those years ago.

This show was a second chance after the M. night abomination. And you know what? It’s a pretty decent adaptation. And guess what? With a resurgence of interest in the series, we are getting more animated content for the original animated series. There’s definitely something for everyone on the horizon if this succeeds.

Drifting Home

[ Anime / Coming of Age ]

Where to Watch: Netflix

Rating: 7.5/10

Time for more movies! This movie is a very coming of age movie. Two kids who used to be best friends find themselves stuck in an apartment building in the middle of the sea with their friends. It’s a story about trying to find their way home and realizing how important home is.

Interesting concept. I think it could’ve been delivered better, but tbh the thumbnail art is what drew me into this movie. It’s so pretty and mysterious! It serves it’s purpose very well.

Great art. The art is really good, and I liked how nature and trippy things tied so well together. Some trippy movies goes all-in on the trippy aspect, but this played nature into it well. It made the trippy scenes feel more realistic.

Character development. They freak out for a bit longer than I expected, but their growth by the end is satisfying. The main characters especially were built well.

As for some cons of this movie…

I wish the plot was explained more. So many questions are left even after the movie ends. I get that most of it is symbolical, but I would’ve liked it even if they blamed it on a godly, religious figure at the end. Did it actually happen or were they delusional kids lol? We’ll never know. I think the plot could’ve been fleshed out a lot more.

Overall,

<Drifting Home> is a great, unique coming of age movie that has to do with friendship and how the death of family can change us. I liked how they talked about how important family is, even if you’re not blood related. Anime is something a lot of older teens/adults watch and enjoy, but I personally think this would be a great movie for kids too. The plot could’ve been explained better, but they definitely nailed the nostalgic, sad moments and the satisfactory ending perfectly. The flashbacks scenes flowed well with the entire storyline. I loved it! Give it a try if it’s movie night for you!

amy searching for a love that's unconditional her entire life and failing to find it and then finding danny and how there's absolutely no way whatever they have could be conditional because danny is just like her so how could he ever demean her for smth she did when he probably did smth just as bad how could he ever feel superior or better when he's experienced the same loneliness and emptiness that she's felt. her connection w danny is plain unconditional it's a wide vast field for her to run around and not worry if she's ever gonna trip and fall and get bruised and simply exist within it. for once she doesn't have to worry if someone's love or care for her would stop if she messes up. for once she can just be.

#i rlly do need to sleep #but everytime i think abt this show and amy and danny i start going crazy again #i can't even recommend this show to anyone out of fear they just wouldn't get it and disappoint me #beef netflix #beef

ONE DAY ↳book > screen

He put one hand lightly on the back of her neck and simultaneously she placed one hand lightly on his hip, and they kissed in the street as all around them people hurried home in the summer light, and it was the sweetest kiss that either of them would ever know.

This is where it all begins. Everything starts here, today.

since were on the topic of animes tonight, what do you reccomend to someone (me) who isn't an anime watcher?

Huh, see, that's a hard ask because anime is at it's core just a Type of Media. There's anime for kids, there's anime for horror fans, there's anime for action movie junkies, there's anime for comedy lovers, there's anime for romance suckers, fantasy enjoyers, sci-fi nerds, murder mystery, animal lovers, people who like a bunch of pervy fan service, people who love it when the characters are doomed by the narrative, love it when The Power of Love and Friendship saves the day, love it when The Power of Love and Friendship ain't worth shit.

I can't really tell you what anime is good for you because I don't know you. But if you know what you like in things like books or movies or video games, there's definitely an anime for you to enjoy.

#I love magical girl series #but I just caught up with Zom100 and it's my favorite of the year so far #and I just caught up on Netflix with Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon) TODAY and I'm now reading ahead #I will caveat that 'horror anime' is one of the hardest to pull off so there's not quite as many good recommendations for that lol #in high school I'd rewatch Lucky Star where NOTHING happens and it's entirely character focused #and don't get me started on the tear jerker love of my life Fruits Basket
