A ruined future world has a mercenary hired to smuggle and protect a person of interest. I guess.
It’s merely okay because it suddenly pivots into some fantasy nonsense. If it immediately established things, or if it eased into it, then it would have been far better. It’s perfectly watchable, but not particularly recommended.

Aliens drop by Earth and evil Humans shoot them down and mug them.
Nothing about the interface makes enough sense, and there are no hints as to how things work. It could have been made much better, even back in the day. I’m not going to forgive how bad it is, especially since there was zero effort by Steam to actually fix basic things like aspect ratio.

A NEET dies but finds himself reincarnated in a fantasy world, where he grows into with the competence and usefulness that he ought to have been working for in his previous life.
Starts strongly, but really spirals down into pulp crap. Still perfectly watchable overall. Recommended even for people who don’t like this sort of entertainment but like the sword-and-sorcery topic in general.
Watched at the end of 2022; no notes were taken.

Inspired by Mushoku Tensei – (2012 book), by Rifujin na Magonote

Servants of the emperor wage war with ancient gods to dominate the land for iron, forcing innocents into the crossfire, but a prince of a lost tribe adventures to save himself and the land from the resulting curse.
Throughout the movie, there are men used as comedic relief and women as brave and smart.

A workaholic can’t deal with being entitled and bored.
Really REALLY boring. I could have written it so much better that it’s depressing to have watched.
