Attack on Titan(Shingeki no kyojin)

This anime grabbed me in the first episode. Kept me on the edge of my seat. It's so intense. The concept and storyline are on point and keep you thrilled and wanting more. I´ve seen all the episodes several times but it still makes me feel like for the first time. It has a gripping story, fantastic music, and really good animation. Definitely one of the best anime I have seen.

The story is one of the most captivating stories I have ever seen. Hundred years prior to the start of the anime, humanity has been on the bridge of extinction due to the monstrous, humongous humanoid Titans that devour humans. Now, at present day in the anime, the remaining small inhabitants of mankind lives in a restricted area surround with 3 "heavenly" walls that are so strongly and solidly built that even the Titans can't break in. The most outermost wall was named, Wall Maria, which is approximately 50 meters in height, the middle wall was named Wall Rose, and the innermost wall named Wall Sina. Unfortunately for mankind, a colossal titan, one that is even bigger than the 50 meters "heavenly walls", breaks Wall Maria, allowing the other titans to rampage the city, thus leading to another massacre of mankind. During this massacre, our main characters, Eren Yeager and Mikasa Ackerman watched a horrifying titan rips their mother's head off, then gobbles her up the whole. Vowing that he'd one day avenge mankind and exterminate all the Titans, Eren Yeager trains to become a survey corp, brave heroic soldiers who go outside the walls, into the plains in order to fight the Titans. But we soon find out, that Eren is much more special than he seems, not only is he a brave warrior, but he's also something else that could be the key to humanity's survival, but could also be humanity's destruction.

The anime showed how the cycle of life works. Humans, we steal animals away from their families, we kill them, we eat them. What's so different from us, and the Titans? The feelings of not being at the top of the food chain. We fight for the existent of humanity.

The art and music can be described in one word: AMAZING! The art drawings were absolutely stunning! From the characters/titans to the setting of the story to all the equipment used in battle. The characters all had a unique aspect to them. The settings of the anime were beautiful. The cities and walls looked realistic, the plains that characters dreamed of seeing made me want to run outside to see for myself how beautiful nature really is, and how humans under appreciate the naturality of nature. The 3-D gear was something that really caught my eye, and will certainly catch other people's eyes as well. A new form of action that's never been seen before. The characters would literally fly from rooftop to rooftop slicing their swords at the Titans at high-speeds that keep the viewers' eyes locked onto the screen at all times. The soundtrack in the anime was epic. The openings speak for themselves, they do the anime justice. The openings were outstanding and certainly set the mood of what was to come from the anime. "They're the prey, and we are the hunters!" The rest of the soundtrack in the anime was AMAZING. How can one describe how amazing those German OSTs were. They fit in perfectly with the epicness of the anime and certainly added tons of suspense to the 3-D maneuver gear action.

It's a 10/10 for me.

Recommendation: Highly Recommended.

Sherlock

"Sherlock" is a BBC mini-series which is based on the books of the Scottish writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and released in 2010. I have been a fan of Sherlock Holmes from a very young age and my first reaction upon hearing of a modern TV remake was "oh, they are so going to screw this".I was a bit skeptical. However, I am glad to account that, unlike so many other TV adaptations and especially ones that modernize, I found it humorous, clever and above all, entertaining. I think it is always a bit doubtful and tricky when a 19th-century series or film is modernized and most of the time it doesn't work, especially if it is familiar and liked but I was very very impressed. I was extremely delighted with its considerable pedigree and they included a large number of references and flashbacks for the more avid fan, e.g. the use of scratches around a person's mobile phone charger port to indicate a drunkard rather than a pocket watches winding keyhole. I imagine ...

Band of Brothers

In 2001, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg were working on a project about the European liberation of the Allied forces. That was based on the book "Band Of Brothers" by Steven Ambrose. The result was a ten-hour long mini tv-series that could dig a bit deeper into several aspects of the liberation. Such as the training, Normandy, Bastogne or Market Garden. The results are awesome. They made the most historical accurate projections ever to hit the TV screen. You can not find any heroes who'll not get hit by an enemy(like in other movies or tv-series), people get killed and often no coverage is done to show the most pathetic and brutal parts of the war. 'Band of Brothers' follows Easy-company from their training in England, through D-Day, the rest of France (including Bastogne), Holland (including Operation Market Garden), Germany and Austria. Those stories have been shown to us in ten different episodes. Every episode starts with the men served in Easy-company tel...

MR.ROBOT

We finally have an intense psychological thriller show that doesn't treat its audience like idiots. The creators actually spent some time doing their homework and the result is a work of art. Fantastic characters, iconic cinematography, all thanks to Sam Esmail's ingenious vision. By far it has the closest technical reality when it comes to hacking.No nonsense giant pacmans eating pixels on the screen or progress bars labeled "VIRUS" either. You can see the actual Unix coding on a computer screen. Staring Rami Malek, Christian Slater, and Portia Doubleday. They are brilliant and the plot is very intelligent. Telling the story of a hard-working, struggling cyber engineer with hard drug addiction. It also depicts a realistic representation of how "our democracy has been hacked." It is also a very real-life story with quotes like, "I should just tell her what she wants to hear," and, "We're all living in each other's paranoia."...
