This Week’s Anime Recap: Series I Completed

Kraven the Hunter
Okay I have put it off long enough, it is time to watch Kraven the Hunter. Now when the first trailer was released for this I knew it was going to be terrible because 1) Aaron Taylor-Johnson was a truly horrendous casting decision and 2) The trailer didn’t even know what the film was about. I knew immediately that we were going to be struggling for a plot of any kind which is about par for the course for Sony superhero films. Also we are doing an awful lot of Spider-man adjacent characters, without Spiderman. I know how all the licencing and shit works but at that point just don't. If you can’t make a good film with the characters you have, then don’t. It's actually really not difficult.

Megalopolis
This is a movie that I have been desperately pushing off this year. I would say that there have been mixed reviews but the reality is that people hated it, and there were a few people singing its praises. As we know I don’t trust the general publics opinions on anything, as I very rarely agree. All that said, even the synopsis for this movie is a hot mess, as is the cast. So let’s go ahead and start in on Megalopolis.

The Return
With talk of the Odyssey adaptation looming, a much quieter version of the story managed to slip under the radar this year. The Return tells the tale of Odysseus after he returns home. Ralph Fiennes stars in this Greek tale of family, and reunification. It did get a film festival premiere as well as a limited theatrical release. This means that it is technically eligible for awards but it has been so quiet that I am not sure that it will get any attention. I have long said that films released in December do not get the attention that they deserve, despite the academy having early access to the films, and there being almost an entire month from end of year to actual nominations. If I can do it with a job, so can the academy members that don’t have to work for a living (that means all of them).

Ishura: A Unique Exploration of Dark Fantasy
I couldn't even tell you how I came across this anime. I was sick one day and it popped up on the site where I watch anime. The first few episodes dropped and I thought they were good but I didn’t want to wait weekly so I stopped watching until the whole show came out. It being a new year I wanted to get caught up on some of the anime I started but hadn’t finished. This was the first one that I picked and I binged through it.
