Bluey's a fantastic show, and although I thought I've already had my fair share of that phase of liking a show so much, Bluey still manages to always be consistent in making such amazing and beautiful episodes. This episode in particular, "Cricket", hits home for me.

As cricket has been a huge part of my life, playing it at school and with my neighbors, it was refreshing to see Bluey do their own spin on this beloved sport and especially since its also quite big in Australia. The premise, as simple in a Bluey episode, always manages to be much more. We center around the character Rusty, which his passion and expertise in cricket is wonderfully narrated by Bandit Heeler. We get to see him outperform the adults as a batsman when playing during a lunch, as the fathers try to manage to get Rusty out in the game.

Cricket worked really well, not only being fantastic in a terms of visual storytelling but also an emotional core within it. It sticks out as a Bluey episode and just gets me thinking that this show only gets better and better. That's my two cents.

End of Evangelion is truly a pinnacle of animation, as a medium, and bends the routes of traditional story-telling. Many can describe it as what it.. an end of the world film. But I don't think I've seen anything as emotional and visually haunting as what I have seen before End of Evangelion.

The amount of emotions including joy and sadness shedded out by this one film is phenomenal, which may have resulted from the attachment to the characters from the show (which is a must-see). Eventhough, I was repulsive to give Neon Genesis Evangelion a chance, I still adored watching it all the way through until the grand event of "EoE". I was even mildly disappointed when I first witnessed End of Evangelion. But on second watch, it made me realise how much of a masterful and beautiful experience this really was and thank the entire efffort of the team behind it.

In conclusion: End of Evangelion is an eternal experience I will never forget, even for the years to come. If this is not your suit, then I wouldn't reccommend it to just anyone. I realised that Eva has been quite attached to me by this point and i keep revisiting it so until that excitement dies out, I would be honoured to call "Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion" one of my favourite films of all time.
