The Haunting of Bly Manor: The Altar of the Dead (2020)
You're supposed to be confused. Amazing.
The writing and direction in this episode on top of the incredible performances really made it work. What a surprise ending. I already figured out she was dead but sometimes I wasn't so sure like when she never eats but ate the cake batter before. But the fact she died LITERALLY as Dani got to Bly made everything make sense. Chris's death was sudden but not entirely shocking as, again, it was obvious he was a ghost.
Very emotional. Very shocking. Amazing.
Digimon Adventure (2020)
What a great start!
The animation is brilliant and the character redesigns are not too over the top so as to not lose their original charm. The score really elevated the action and I really cannot wait for more.
Kimetsu no Yaiba (2019)
It deserves a ten
I am not just giving this a ten to join the hype train. This anime is nearly perfect. The pacing is heat and never felt like it was slowing down, not for a second. The animation is sublime and the action is wonderful and intense. The cherry on top is it's wonderful characters who are so great and entertaining. Lots of great character development and a unique shonen boy who isn't full of himself or annoying. I love this anime.
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
Wonderful and will haunt me.
Very rarely does a show truely hook me within the first 5 minutes. This is such a wonderfully written family drama and terrifying horror that is pulled off wonderfully. The characters feel real and typical 2d horror characters and actually grow throughout the ten episodes.
It centers of the Craine family who were temporarily living in a haunted mansion only for tragedy to strike and change thier lives and relationships with each other forever. Fast forewarn a few decades and tragedy strikes again and they must all reunite and face thier issues and also the horrors from thier time in Hill House.
The horror in this show is spot on with few if any cheap jump scares. Scares can come from nowhere and really knock you off your ass especially if your engrossed. Its also very creepy sometimes and has some images that will never leave my head. The ghosts and ghouls are very well designed a D the effects used to pull them off really work. This house some wonderful monsters including thier own resident slenderman/gentleman thing that was introduced so nonchalantly which made it even scarier.
Finally I will say that the acting in this is amazing and so well done. The characters are great and relatable even in thier darkest moments. The ending was also perfect. I've not been so satisfied in a long time and dont mind if it doesn't come back for a new season. It told its story and like Hill House. Should be laid to rest.
