Oh that sucks I also have some health related issues that have impacted my day to day life since 2017 so I sympathize 100% , Hope you make a full or at least as full of a recovery as physically possible . Thank you happy holidays/Merry Christmas to you too!
Yeah it's just my opinion of course but I don't hold Greek cinema in high regard as especially for what feels like 4 decades now they are primarily focused with copying Hollywood poorly , Making unfunny comedies or creating cheap TV series that run for far longer than they should . Greek music on the other hand was gold though with many great artists
I feel like if you are not a fan of basketball at all you're going to find Slam Dunk a bit tedious since it's very much about the sport and less so about the characters since practically everyone has very surface level motivations . It's a really sweet/pure anime and I loved the lessons about respect , Teamwork and all that but yeah you got to like basketball even a little bit in order for you to enjoy it
Phantom is...I'll be honest a guilty pleasure . If you hate it I wouldn't blame you but it is heavily influenced by movies such as La Femme Nikita and Leon The Professional both of which I feel like had very interesting set ups but practically no "soul" . Phantom did or at least I felt that it did which carried it despite it's grand canyon sized flaws
I have nothing to add for 91 days I fully agree . It's a solid revenge story but what made it stand out to me was how unique it was for an anime . Down to earth settings are far and few in between in anime and I just liked that Angelo didn't shoot lasers out of his eyes or something like that lol
Kindaichi is admittedly yet another guilty pleasure . The "whodunit" aspect of the show is average at best because most killers plan are improbable and you aren't given the same clues Kindaichi has which many times makes it impossible to deduct who the culprit is alongside him . Ironically what bummed you out was the only reason I kept watching and ended up loving it . The endings are very Dostoyevskian in nature , Tragic but with a glimmer of hope and never nihilistic . If you are interested I recommend watching the case "The Phantom of the Opera" from the 1997 TV series as it is one of my favorites
Oh now you see you got me curious! I would definitely consider it and I would love to hear you thoughts on it . I watched the anime and made the review I believe in 2018 so I don't remember a ton of it but enough to understand what you're referring to .
Hey friend I received your message and how you wanted to continue our discussion here :)
Thank you again for the kind words about my reviews! As far as favorite anime go some of them are 91 Days , Slam Dunk , Area 88 , Black Lagoon , Hajime no Ippo , Great Teacher Onizuka , Hotaru no Haka , Initial D , Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo , Monster , Phantom Requiem , Usagi Drop and many World Masterpiece Theater stuff such as Romeo no Aoi Sora , Perrine Monogatari , Ie Naki Ko etc.
I can name you many flaws about the anime that I mentioned above but I still love them
As far as movies go like I'm not a fan of modern cinema nor a huge movie buff and over time I soured a bit on even things I used to enjoy . That being said some of my favorite movies/guilty pleasures are Ong Bak , Transporter 1 , Batman The Dark Knight , Joker 2019 , The Bourne Trilogy , Scarface , The Naked Gun movies , Fast & Furious 1 , Gone with the Wind , The Lord of the Rings Trilogy , The Chinese John Woo classics (Killer for example) and Face Off , American Psycho , Nothing to Lose , Fight Club , Rush Hour , Undisputed 3 , New Police Story , The Raimi Spider-Man trilogy , The Man From Nowhere , They Live , Terminator 1 , The Villainess among a few others
As far as Greek movies and TV shows to be honest our cinema mostly died after our "Golden Years" of the 60's and 70's and even then most of those are comedies that aged badly . There's nothing too special to recommend I'm afraid
Sure you can ask me about City Hunter . Anything you want :)
