The story is great. I love how the writers make every character feel special from each other, Pure Vanilla's story is my favorite of them all, he's an amazing character design-wise with a nice backstory that got me hooked all the way to the end of the episode. However, i do have some gripes, and plot holes especially with Gingerbrave.

The gameplay, while mindless at first, felt forgiving, you will see reward after reward after reward every time you do events and collect mails, the gacha system this time is actually nice, and well-implemented.

The visuals are quite simplistic, but fluid, all of the character's emotions, animations, attacks, felt nice, and never felt clunky.

Overall, this is a pretty good game, for newer players, and even players who played OvenBreak, its prequel.

On the one hand, the story, i'd say is one of the most compelling narratives i've seen in a AAA game since like forever, the world, atmosphere, everything about the story (aside of some bad characters) is beautifully crafted, the characters look nice, the enemies feel at least "distinct" from each other.

However, the gameplay is the thing i have the most problems with, the resin system, and the grinding don't "match" the outstanding world the game has, you usually just grind a lot, and the process can be extremely tedious at moments, thankfully there is a teleportation/fast-transportation system, which is a welcome addition to the boring grinding.

It has a lot of potential, and in some aspects, it delivered, but others, it felt very generic.

Overall, i really want to love this game, but its gacha nature holds it from being any higher.

Good animation (as always with these summer anime), with a good soundtrack, i like most of them during my watching experience.

The characters, are surprisingly good, the main cast (Chisato and Takina) are very "distinct" in terms of personality, and have a meaningful backstory, enough for me to get invested

Nice action, i like most of the shooting, especially with the main cast as mentioned earlier

The story, it's good, definitely isn't innovative any means, it's basically like a thriller-esque story, with some depth.

The only main flaw, i had is although the action is nice, some of it are quite confusing in their own, without watching at least the first 3 episodes, you won't understand why the main cast is being badass

Overall, This anime is charming in its own merits.

This is by far the biggest theater disappointment i've had in years, you had one job: ending the saga at LEAST on a decent note

and everything falls apart, shattered into innumerable pieces due to the absolute inconsistency of Rey, and even ones i like like Kylo Ren, Rey is an inconsistent mess of a character, she DID (technically?) had a story of training, but it isn't enough, also WHY showing it in the finale, and not on the beginning of the sequels?, just why?

Palpatine, is my favorite character, and every scene with him is cool, BUT that doesn't mean that he carries the film, he certainly doesn't, since he didn't have a particular reason as to why he returned. And the "They Fly Now" scene is just a poor salt into an already severely injured wound

i can't recommend this movie to anyone, even if you don't know anything about star wars (which is rare considering how they marketed it), you will never have any semblance of fun while watching this.

This is the most disappointing movie i've seen all year, it had Christian Bale on it, along with the cast from Ragnarok, WHAT HAPPENED?

The cgi is bad, specifically the face scene, oh god that looks terrible

the concept of gods is interesting, however they are wasted, big time, Zeus could've been a good character, but the whole "infamous naked scene" is just TOO out-of-touch for me.

Christian Bale kills it, but he has so little runtime, that he cannot save the movie from all of the bad jokes, to all of the bad action to some of the scenes

I hated almost every single moment of it.

THE STORY is so bloated i wanted to get out the theater that time.

Although i've enjoyed a lot into this movie, i still have flaws

The movie had a great concept, while following up No Way Home, with the whole "multiverse of madness" thing

It DOES explore a lot about the multiverse, the problem is the execution isn't the best, and the cameos are WORTHLESS, they just appear for fanservice (which sounds horrible), and not any contribution to the story AT ALL

However, i can give one thing, the parts that i felt were "Sam Raimi" are amazing, especially the beginning sequence

Wanda had so much missed potential, she could've been so amazing.

The "cutting jokes" syndrome is still present, and not changing, it's slowly getting worse

and The pacing is quite off.

I have very mixed feelings about this movie, i don't recommend watching it, although i did enjoy the runtime, the one sentence i could say is: "This was not Sam Raimi's fault, but the studio itself's."

This is coming from a person who didn't watch the first movie, even if i didn't watch it, this movie explains VERY well about Maverick, and Iceman, and maverick's relationship with Penny is well done, a good sequel needs some continuation from the previous one, and this executed perfectly.

The ONE THING that makes this movie so special, is the action, it is near perfection, truly a masterpiece, with dazzling cinematography that would have you on the edge of your seat, the sounds of the planes are amazing, it's nice to "take a break" from the CGI action craze.

The music is composed by Hans Zimmer, it uses the same melody almost every song, but it isn't a huge issue.

Every character is so likable, it's truly a spectacle, the Iceman cameo is heartbreaking, and tells us a lesson on how to make a GOOD cameo.

This movie is one of the perfect movies of the decade (imo), i can't recommend it enough.

It's surprisingly quite dark at moments, while not the case in others

Mysterio is a good villain, with a decent motive, the scenes of him and the drones are quite great and incredible to look at.

Peter himself, he's not bad at all, but he is the least interesting part for me, since the school comedy things are kinda cringey, kinda bad at times, although his relationship with MJ is good.

The action, for a movie that follows a conclusion to an amazing saga, it is cool, i like the elemental, set pieces they put here.

Despite all some of the complaints i have regarding the story, this is a joyful enough rollercoaster ride that everyone can enjoy.

Great animation, and soundtrack, while also paying homage and be faithful to the source material (the 2011 show i meant, i haven't read the manga), and also shine the Kamen Rider light into the Anime World

It also introduces the characters, meaning if you are the average person who doesn't binge Kamen Rider, you will have a lot of fun seeing these characters develop, and great use of its TV-14 rating, with bloody scenes

UPDATED: t10 episodes so far that i did watch, i thought the story is well-written, and balances the lightheartedness and the dark and creepy stuff well for the most part.

HOWEVER, there are some complaints i have:

the intro kinda spoils what's gonna happen, the animation is kinda iffy in some of the scenes, and the dialogue and scenes COULD get a bit too cheesy.

Overall, Fuuto Tantei is a great show i encourage you to watch.
