The anime adaptation of Junji Ito’s uzumaki. It’s a manga that I love and have read it many times, when I heard that there was an anime adaptation that was sticking with the art style, I was interested. When I saw the trailer and heard Colin Stetson’s bizarre music, I knew that this would be amazing. Time passed and I checked on its release every month. It was delayed again and again but I had patience, thinking that they just wanted to get it right. It finally releases and it was amazing, the first episode anyway. When episode 2 drops I can hardly contain my excitement. Yet, something is off with it, I try to ignore it. Third episode, same thing. Last episode, had some improvements but still wasn’t the same quality as the first. I go online and see that people are divided over it, with a very vocal majority saying that something is off. I felt deflated and didn’t join in on the discussions. Time passed and I forgot about it until recently when I saw an article where one of the production staff said that there was some pressure from higher ups and they chose to release what they had or it was gonna get cancelled.

That was some serious shitshow indeed. The director completely focused on the first episode and a very few parts on the other ones. When they were rushed, they sub-hired some Korean studios, and in the end even cheaper Chinese ones, if I recall correctly. I think the result speaks for itself. An absolute disaster.
Game of Thrones, but mostly because it was so good at the start. Controversially I think the series went to shit in Season 5, or even season 4, basically as soon as they started seriously deviating from the books. It's extremely clear what is original for the show and what is from GRRM because everything they came up with outside of the book material is stupid as shit and nobody's actions or motivations make any sense.
I don't think I finished season 4. It showed great promise, but I realised that in those 4 seasons nothing actually happened.
- Fireproof women walks through desert.
- Men in furs sit in snow.
- lots of people I don't really know get murdered at a wedding.
- Someone attacks a city, but fails.
The consultant. Started off interesting, but yeah..
I have never been excited for a TV show, because I have never known about one before it was aired. Every show I've ever discovered was already on the air when I discovered it. I'm usually way behind the times.
