I tried, i've really tried to find something fun about this series but i haven't succesed. It's just fanservice. All of it. I thought that breaking 1 episode into 3 smaller 6 minutes long shorts in this second season will be the saving grace since i didn't like first too much. But there is nothing to enjoy.....except fanservice of course. Even comedy bits aren't that funny. MC is one of the worst MC in the history, the animation is *insert joke here idc* and the development is noexisting. I hope that the Darkness series will be much better. In conclusion: If you're a weeb, you probably watch everything and don't care much about quality. The rest won't find here anything interesting. Although i must say that the girls are quite cute (Kotegawa especially) but the writing is worse than in adult films.

In the first episode of JJBA: The Phantom Blood a lot of things are happening in the story so intense that in the end we don't know what to expect next. We see some British drama with the origins of two of the most important characters in JoJo's franchise: naive, honorable, sincere protagonist - Jonathan Joestar and over-the-top behaving, ambitious villain - Dio Brando. Even if you didn't like that style, the series is worth giving a chance because of the next adventures which will change action and plot to the absurdly awesome level. The animation and voice acting are spot-on, transitions between ordinary storytelling, dramatic pauses and fights look naturally and the art style respectfully pays homage to Araki Hirohiko's manga from 1987. At some points we can say that anime did better job in keeping viewers interesting.

Baby Driver is a comedy/crime which is really hard to compare to any other film from these genres (except for other Edgar Wright's work). It takes the attention from viewer at the beginning to end while giving the big amount of perfectly fitting music. Action is really compelling, plot is smart, easy to follow and it encourages to care about our protagonist, Baby. It's not hard to predict what will happen in the first 30 minutes of watching but in second part of the film things are getting twisted, the whole crime/thriller mode is being activated with less amount of space for typical humour. The romance isn't the best and someone could say that it's the most flat and simplified part but for me relation between Baby and his "just-met love from the first sight" Debora came out quite natural and suitable to the rest of the movie.

Casting was perfect. Jamie Foxx as gangsta/psycho is extremely believable, Kevin Spacey is very minimalist but his performance is so charismatic and gentle that he need only one statement to give unforgettable expression/scene. The rest of the cast act also with no big flaws. Too bad Jon Bernthal was there only for a short time.

Talking about weak parts of Baby Driver is like talking about consequences of eating pizza - it's not worth its time. In the end we have some much fun with product which doesn't consider viewers as idiots (yes Baywatch, i'm looking at you). Although many things happen like in some fantasy (some elements of car chase, coincidences, romance part), it looks very realistic. We see character's motivations and how every situation escalates. Editing is on the highest level.

Also I can't believe how interesting was presented conversation in sign language between Baby and his step-father.
