  • I loved Legion all the way up until the end of season 2. The finale just felt like such a rush to make him into an obvious bad guy. I get that he is in the comics, but they spent the better part of two seasons showing him mostly as the good guy. There were some definite questionable things he did, but I didn’t buy the slide from good guy with some issues to outright villain. I don’t know if they just didn’t have enough time to fully show that descent, but it really soured me. I gave up after two episodes of season 3. Although, I will say it was still worth the ride, the cinematography, effects and overall style of the show is absolutely fantastic. I probably still will finish season 3 someday, but it’s not high enough on my list to make it a priority.


  • Big Superman fan, so right now my absolute favorite show is My Adventures with Superman. Also, I’d say it’s the best Superman animated series to date. Yes, even more so than The Animated Series from the 90’s (which is still a great show).

    However, a very very close second (probably a tie at this point) is an anime I found randomly through some thread online called Mushishi. About a man named Ginko who is a wandering “mushi master”. Mushi are basically like concentrated living energy that take different forms and Ginko travels from village to village encountering new mushi and issues to solve resulting from people’s exposure to a particular mushi. But the core of the show is in the poignancy of the character’s stories and their particular backstories and personal issues that intertwine with the pressing mushi issue. It’s a very slice of life kind of show and the best anime series I’ve seen so far. Incredibly well written and interesting characters even if they’re only seen for an episode. I highly recommend you check it out.
