Something about a woman having played a video game and being in that world and being overpowered.

Kinda stiff.

Our dude uses every resource for revenge against the Harkonnen who murdered his family and people.

It would be watchable, even good, if it didn’t have odd gaps in it. It’s as though there is another movie whose cloth this was cut. I’m betting there is a super duper extended length version, because I feel there are missing scenes.

A guy is reincarnated and chooses to become a hero in a war against demons.

Pretty interesting.

An ugly, unaccomplished, student discovers a hidden world within which he becomes a hero and transforms himself in that and the real world.

It might be quite good, but because the main character is superpowered it’s a pretty shitty story angle; not recommended.

  • Note that every episode has an end-credit scene.
  • A second season has been confirmed

A NEET dies and chooses to be reincarnated into a fantasy world as a hero tasked to defeat a demon lord, but he ends up as a party of four semi-incompetent members.

Fun and funny!

A pig farmer gets stoned and hallucinates.

Gritty, scary, and gripping; a product of its time. Recommended both for real parenting and people who appreciate decent cinema. It’s nowhere near the calibre of something like The Secret of NIMH – (1982 movie) or the like, but think gently in that direction.

For some reason the Big Bad is waking up and some villagers are implicated in helping/hurting his/its/their/xur’s plans to do something to the world, or something.

This show is lacking from so many directions. It’s watchable, but irks me in ways I don’t want to sit down and think about long enough or I’ll get mad. You know what? I’m just going to start judging shows on if they have good looking women. Any, and if they are boss girls.

A deadbeat dad decides resurrecting his dead wife is more important than raising his daughter.

Another low-effort, shitty, man-hating, adventure movie.

The Trade Federation blockades a peaceful planet, and decisive action is required to bring political and military strength to bear.

An astonishing improvement on the original. Even though it’s lower visual quality than it’s original can be, it’s worth a watch. Very highly recommended especially to fans of the original trilogy who were disappointed by this new trilogy.
