Nothing Left To Lose

 I keep thinking about Varian and Cassandra, TBH.

- I just cannot understand the difference between how clearly the succeeded with one villain (Varian), and did not with the other (Cassandra).

Hm. I still feel like I'm going to have to rewatch the show to properly put this into words, but this is somewhere along the lines of what I mean, I think. I just. I wish her villain arc wasn't so unsatisfying TBH.

Cobra Kai & Karate Kid Trilogy

 So: full disclosure, I'd watched Cobra Kai seasons 1 and 2 on YouTube, when they first came out, and I'd seen the first Karate Kid movie, and never really bothered to watch the rest. (I'd also seen the Jackie Chan version, which I like, and I haven't got round to watching The Next Karate Kid, but I will soon.)

I freaking love this series

Ugh, this show is so good.

Dragon's Dogma

 So. Yeah. I played this game last year, or maybe earlier this year, and I loved it. It's a good, if bare-boned game, with interesting mechanics and interesting characters, but the story isn't that fleshed out, and I wish we could have seen more of the world, but what we had was super neat.

And the Netflix said 'hey, we're going to do an anime about it'. I was skeptical.

I was right. 

To be fair, it's not the worst anime I've ever seen, but it's not the best either. It's just average.

So, on the whole: it was fine. I wasn't expecting much, and there wasn't much to it. But from time to time, I enjoyed the callbacks to the game. At least I didn't get angry watching it, but still, I wish it could have been better.
