Really? Never had that thought when watching it lol.
They just need to hurry the FC#K up with season 4 haha.

They only just released season 3!  Young people these days .  Watching season 2 of House of Cards at the moment - very well done, never thought they'd make political drama as engaging as they have!

"Watched" a few of the Moving Art(Oceans, Deserts, Underwater) on netflix it is some nice photography but I did feel even though around 30min each they dont provide enough to have drawn my attention for the full time. Also even though would be quite a bit of dead sound would've preferred it without the music.


Dragons: Race to the Edge: Season 2 enjoyed it bit different to season 1 in that it started to have a main enemy for most of the eps to focus on.

Re-watched Season 1 of Yu-Gi-Oh. So many memories of watching it so long ago. Kaiba is more of a dick then I remember or at least thought so back then, thought he was cool that has now changed somewhat. Was good fun revisiting it.

Finished up the 3rd arc of One Piece and also the 4th Water 7. Inbetween I ended up playing One Piece Pirate Warriors so I already knew the stuff that would happen even still it misses alot of stuff.
I did feel a bit while watching Skypiea Arc that it dragged on a bit sometimes compared to the first and second, felt like alot of episodes without much progress anywhere once they arrived in Skypiea.
Loved the Water 7 arc it was long but didn't feel it even knowing how it goes down was still entertaining to watch and had a few days of 10+ episodes. Its still managing to balance seriousness with goofiness absolutely loved Sanji's wanted poster and his reaction to it through-out the entire scene, the post-Enies-Lobby arc was all good after all the seriousness of the previous one.

Will take a break from it now though as I did get through all of Water 7 in a short time I don't want to over do it as I was only going to watch the fillers at the start of Water 7 but got pulled in to watching all of it don't want to over do it and stop watching mid way through an arc.

Loved hearing the theme song from the first episodes make a return as well later on in the Water 7 arc really like this version that has the Straw-hats singing it.

I think that is one negative against it being so large, I know that its going to end up too large to ever really be-able to watch through it again which does feel a bit of a shame as I feel it would be something that would still be enjoyable to re watch sometime in the future once its over as it really is a grand adventure.

Watched Season 3 of Vikings also watched the first few of Season 4 as I caught the SBS viewing this time. Season 3 was good at the end it really did have me thinking which was will it go in relation to the battle for Paris. Start of season 4 is the same not really sure what they are going to go with and I guess that's why I enjoy it as I don't really know what's going to happen.

Also watching Season 3 of The 100 only watched the first few eps but my padding sensors have been triggered. It started off good but has turned sour on me due to the actions of a few of the characters that have me going really? As it stands now I just cant help the feeling that its going down this path to draw out the season. Hope some of the newer episode when I get around to them stop where they are currently heading.

[Axe99]

Nice one Spec, that's some quality viewing .  Hope the padding radar has been triggered by a one-off and not a trend in The 100.

Daredevil S2 was pretty sweet. S3 should be off the wall.

Spoiler

Really liked the Punisher story, hope he come back in S3. The stairwell fight was off the hook, so well done. You can see they love The Raid.

Electra got a bit tiring at times but that story had its moments but Stick is always a great character to watch. Karen and Foggy got a bit on my nerve as well. I wonder if they'll be around much in S3 or whether we will see Mat go solo and see his Daredevil persona start to take over his life. (Seems it may already be doing so)

My only negative is that I just hope the show doesn't become too supernatural. I like the more grounded stuff and the supernatural is what eventually turned me off Arrow. It was great for the first two seasons, then they started piling on the supernatural bullshit which I didn't like as the show sold itself to me because it was 'realistic'.

[Axe99]

Just finished watching the second season of Daredevil, was a ripper, deffo recommend it to fans of comic-book inspired action/adventure/drama .  Totally agree Aro .

Spoiler

The comics do have a bit of supernatural stuff (the Hand, in particular, are Daredevil's most supernatural enemies, although Iron Fist has a fair bit of supernatural-ish floating about), but they've also got a lot of grounded stuff as well.  I'm the same, I prefer the grounded stuff .

Agree the Punisher needs more attention - well worth his own show I reckon, although on the other hand mixing it in with Daredevil probably saves on fake blood and guts costs .

[GasClown]

Still haven't watched the first season... gotta get to it.

[Axe99]

Damn straight you do .  I'm a relative newcomer to watching TV enough to have a broad view, but from what I've seen it holds up pretty well in terms of quality (I haven't seen Arrow, mind, so can't really compare it to what looks to be it's nearest 'relative'.

Re-watched English dubs on blur-ray of Love Live s1 & s2 and Monthly Girls Nozaki-Kun

Enjoyed re-watching them again and getting to watch the Nozaki-Kun shorts for the first time. Glad I can watch them whenever in Japanese or English on blu-ray now.


Also finished up season 3 of the 100. I wont be returning for season 4 even though surely it will be the last given the set-up unless they feel the need to drag it out or pad which they showed this season they can do. Just far too many annoying characters, actions and decisions that are just frustrating to watch.

Have been waiting for this one to finish so i can watch it all, might hold off until there's a dry spell of good Tv series to watch and watch this then lol.

Monthly Girls Nozaki-Kun is sooo funny!! I'll have to check out getting the bluray for myself.

Nozaki-kun is a great show. Hope we don't have to wait too long for a second season. Have you seen the Love Live movie?

Watched the first season of Scream: the TV Series and it was pretty good (as far as teen slasher horror goes)

Also been watching Attack on Train... I mean, Kanabari of the Iron Fortress. (But it's pretty similar to AoT)

[spectre51]

^Nah haven't seen it, just waiting for it to release on blu-ray now think its due in August in here.

[SmokeyPSD]

This was ages ago but it finally seems that exclusive Powers series has made it our way. Was supposed to be made free for PSN plus members but only went to the states and never head anything about it coming to the rest of us again. Dunno about NZ but it's there guys and free like they said, just really, really delayed.

Don't even remember if people liked it a lot but worth a look at least.

[Axe99]

Cheers Smokey .  I thought it had potential when they were spruiking it but then, as you say, it went really quiet!  I wonder how it'll turn out?

[Saintsy]

Quite saddened that this is how they finished off Banshee, 8 episodes into season 4..
They tied up all the loose ends and finished it off quite well, just sad to see yet another great TV show get the chop after 4 short seasons.
It's like firefly all over again haha (Well for me, not often i enjoy a series enough to be sad when it ends lol).
Bright side being i remember seeing somewhere they might be doing a spinoff series with a couple of the main guys so here's hoping lol.

Would recommend if anyone's after a new series to watch.

[Axe99]

Cheers Saintsy, will keep an eye out for it.  Sympathies it's over, but at least it got to end quality instead of fizzle out?

[Axe99]

Watching Dr Who slowly - thought the first season was 'alright', but starting to warm up a bit during the second.  Watching second season of Longmire and very enjoyable - doesn't quite feel as polished as the first early on (but still very good - I'm just making it earn my love, lol), but suspect it'll come together.

[SmokeyPSD]

Had a lot of drama lately with Netflix and not being able to use my "preferred" servers...

I think I liked season 2 of Longmire more but maybe that was because they dialed down the out of place and badly done light relief (at least to me) that was early in the series. It's been awhile I could be wrong with when that happened, maybe it only started feeling fullyformed at season 3.
Dr Who is on my list of things I need to actually get in and watch. If only to get upto to Peter Capaldi as the doctor lol (love him in The Thick of it).

I watched the 1st episode of Powers and it was actually alright. I had pretty low expectations and no idea how it'll go as a series but yeah surprisingly enjoyed it. Powers makes up for some pretty atrocious offerings on plus like plain 1st party psp games lately, I guess?

Marco Polo season 2 - 1st July!

Aye, Longmire's a bit less 'random funny stuff' in season 2 (but still got lighthearted moments).  Cheers for the tip on Powers, was curious about that but also didn't have huge expectations, great to hear it's got something to it .
