Giruti kuraun: Guilty Crown (2011)
Clearly thrown together
I don't know where to begin with this one. I guess I can start with the premise, which isn't bad at all. Coupled with the broken story, plot holes, and terrible characters, it just doesn't work. What I like to do is read the room first before I post anything and what I expected is pretty much what I've gotten.
Not exactly sure how the show gets ratings of 7's of 8's when the same people are complaining about the muddy story you get lost in. Trying not to spoil anything, ultimately there are too many branches that are not being explored and situations I assume we are meant to understand that go right over my head.
And my goodness, the characters. I'm not sure I've seen a show with a cast of characters I cannot stand. Overly sensitive (even for an anime) unwarranted mood swings and space-outs boarding on psychosis. The main character is the worst of them all. Why he learns nothing episode after episode, why he infects and screws everyone around him, and why he doesn't listen is infuriating. Maybe I'm being hard, but this is a tough watch. I'm not the biggest anime fan, but I have seen quite a bit. This has to be the most disappointing. Not the worst, but in terms of what I believe the potential to be... yep, definitely the most disappointing.
Iron Fist (2017)
One of the stupidest shows you have to watch
Somewhat surprising that people in film seem to have no clue how to properly cast a project. I know there are a lot of other details that go into this, but my goodness what a disaster.
This show is incredibly boring, and the choreography could use some work, but it's hard to ignore being tied to the other Marvel Netflix series. I'll table these and my many other complaints for another time.
Ultimately, bad story, bad script, bad casting/acting will completely ruin a piece, and I find it hard to look past that in Iron First.
