true, not all are factual & some should be taken with a 'bucket of salt' there is some truth in all of them, but what they really show in my honest opinion; No matter what you personally think, Money & Power rule the world.. president's are just puppets & people are expandable 'products'
the best thing one could do eventually is search the interweb for a man called William Engdahl, who is best in explaining the whole 'conspiracy-theory' in average joe language.
When i look to new series vs old ones i see a clear difference with the past, old series (& bad new ones) have a tendency to pick a subject & milk it out forever, making a million episode's with basically the same thing happening over & over again.. Luckily these days series are much more a 'story' that's being told with a beginning and an end. i prefer this because you get much more dept, detail, etc.
p.s. i don't know if i'm right but this is just how i see it, feel free to correct me..
i haven't included factual, cheap entertainment or animation series in this list..
Always go for 'uncensored' & 'subbed' to enjoy Anime to the fullest!
i will add more series when i remember/watch them.. there's also a lot that i haven't seen yet. so if you have suggestions please leave them in a comment.
* i don't care for some of the series not being 'anime', to me everything animated can be considered 'anime'
p.s. 1 series i can't find on IMDB (yet) is Maken-Ki!, an absolute awesome series about a pervy guy who ends up in a school filled with only women who all fight using special powers & he has none..
p.s.2 bleach, naruto and fairy tail are kids series & i won't add them (hate me for it) since this is a personal list & i don't consider them 'awesome'
Reviews
Wikileaks: The Secret Life of a Superpower (2012)
glad someone filtered out the important bits
A well made report about the release of the WikiLeaks US cables, which caused mass media-hysteria & riots in the world. it show's the impact of the release in the world & in the US itself, how it happened and how the US tries to strike back.
The cables themselves contain information about what American diplomats say, when they think the world will never know, who they trust, who they mock, what they want & how they get it. They show a Nation struggling to achieve it's goals, facing defiance around the world & locked into confrontations with old & new enemies.
The cables are quite revealing but for the average Joe there's just way too many of them (250k), so i'm thankful some people analyzed the lot to filter out & explain the important one's.
Also, on a private note, it's amazing to see how America kinda splits up into 2 camps, one thinks of J. Assange & B. Manning as whistle blower heroes & the other want's to personally execute them for being unpatriotic traitors.
Crawl (2011)
don't believe the other reviews
1 point is still way too much for this, I watched it because another review said it was great, it really isn't though, unless you have no brain whatsoever.
it has a very poor acting & an even worse story, an ending you can see coming from a million miles away even if it's only 1 single shot. need some tension? just throw in a few eerie stokes on a violin, yeah, that'll do.. the whole thing is like that'll do.. cutting vegetables with eerie violin strokes can be a good thing but not when every living soul knows whats going to happen next.
For me the worst part is the lameness of the story: a guy comes home after a period a being far away to propose to his girl, but his car breaks down within visual distance of their house.. instead of walking the last 3 minutes (that's how long other characters in the movie need for it) he decides to wait for help by standing in the middle of the road & gets run over by some driver who wasn't paying attention..... -_- Really ???? stuff like that just totally knocks me of, can't help it.
The only good thing about this movie is that the main character is a hot chick, but me being a single male i realize that isn't an objective opinion ;p
Terra Nova (2011)
there's Really Bad, there's Even Worse & then there's Terra Nova..
For me this is hands down one of the worst series ever, I barely made it through the pilot, watched the second episode just to gloat at how bad it was. after that I've had enough.. imho EVERYTHING is wrong about the series.
I won't start about the resemblance to other series, but for me what spoils it are the total predictability & even more the total absence of any feeling of reality.
the characters arrive in 'another world' with already loads of humans in it & immediately take liberty's beyond belief whilst making one stupid mistake after another both of which would be impossible in real life. the story, the acting, the actions, the theory's, the logic, facts, buildings, vehicles, weapons & everything that happens, just really everything is wrong.
however, If you don't care about all that & are easily entertained you might still like it.
