A retired couple has a secret chamber buried in their backyard that leads to a deserted planet. When an enigmatic young man arrives, their quiet existence is upended and the mysterious Chamber they thought they knew so well turns out to be much more than they could have ever imagined.

I can’t say I like this because it doesn’t do enough world building and doesn’t really develop an arc with the time they have.

  • They really, really, lean into age in this show.

Mysterious gates bring monsters into the world, but people develop superpowers and one previously-worthless combatant becomes incredible.

Pretty good so far.

  • Original title: Ore dake Level Up na Ken

  • The origin is Korean, but this is a Japanese endeavour.

The remnants of humanity work to survive in a ruined world.

Gritty and good. It’s got a lot of bullshit in it though, so you really have to turn your brain off.

I had someone point out this was supposed to have comedy, but it’s so thin I had no idea.

In a future where cybernetics are commonplace, a kid gets involved in the underworld to get by.

Gritty and violent; lots of fun.

A dude plays VR video games and ends up playing on in particular.

It’s kinda neat so far I guess.

A time traveler goes back for some reason I guess.

A weak comedy of some sort, but I’m unforgiving for the woke, so no thanks.

Following agents of a supercomputer.

It’s incredibly dark, and I don’t mean it’s all moody and shit; it’s so damned dim it’s hard to make most things out.

A mysterious message is detected by an astronaut, who learns its senders are on their way to Earth.

Fair, and moody, but it feels like there should be more content.

  • Original title: Das Signal

A astronaut has an accident in space and comes back crazy.

It’s like a sort of brooding bubblegum show; light on the science, heavy on the fiction, and with some horror mixed in.
