I'll write a post every 3 months which'll contain the thoughts I had right after watching an anime, movie or tv show. As such it should be taken as mere thoughts that I had directly after watching it. It's NOT a review, more of a final impression if you will.
Anyway It'll contain whatever I watched during those 3 months with little if any regard to release season or current trends.
You can find my complete list of anime I've watched and their ratings on kitsu.io/users/APasz/library. There is no list for western tv/movies unfortunately. If anyone has a good suggestion, let me know.
So without further ado.

Titles completed during this period
2018-04-01 to 2018-06-30
Cars (2006)
Been rewatching a lot of movies as of late. Cars being a favourite of mine.
For a 2006 film the animation is pretty good but it's a Pixar creation so that's kinda to be expected.
Cars 2 (2011)
It feels like a sequel. If there is a moral to the story, I don't know what it is but hey, at least it's a amusing 1.75 hours. And as far as I could tell the little bit of Japanese was correct which is always appreciated. Seriously you wouldn't believe how often pure gibberish is passed off as correct, especially considering the budget of some of these movies.
Cars 3 (2017)
Generally it's an all around improvement on Cars 2, especially technically during high detail scenes [like crashes]. The story has a good moral and is well done.
Criminal Minds Season 1-6
I've been a fan of CM for as long as I can remember.
I'd recommend it to anyone who has an interest in criminology and investigator shows.
Iron Man 3 (2013)
5 years late but hey, better late than never right?
I liked the first 2 and the third is pretty much more of same which in this case isn't so bad.
There are a lot of references that I didn't get, probably because I haven't watched pretty much any Marvel movies other than Civil War, Deadpool, the original Spider-Man and original Fantastic Four.
And apparently all these movies are connected or something.
John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)
I like many others loved the first movie and have been patiently awaiting a sequel but of course I'm always late to the show.
Anyway, as with the first the cinematography is excellent. Music and fx were good.
And as with last time, I am awaiting chapter 3.
Men in Black 1 and 2 (1997 - 2002)
There are some things that you grow up with that you just can't help but look back on with rose tinted glasses. While the first doesn't need much tinting, the second movie needs a fair chunk.
One of the major criticism of the second is that it's recycled a lot from the first movie. Personally that's what I think sequels are meant to be so I'm going to say it, I liked the second as much as the first.
The Boss Baby (2017)
Quite a fun and adorable little movie with somewhat unique art style.
There are little things that everyone young and old will find amusing at the very least.
All in all a good movie that doesn't break any new ground but be a pleasant experience nonetheless.
The Secret Life of Pets (2016)
Cute and funny. Gotta say, animation is just getting better and better everyday.
There are 3 main things that are difficult for computers to render correctly. Water, Fur/Hair and Reflections. While there aren't a ton of reflections, there was a lot of fur and water which both looked pretty good even at streaming quality. The wet fur was also of particular note.
UP (2009)
It's a Pixar film so of course it's great. Basically if you like the Pixar formula then you'll probably like this movie. It's the same with Disney.
Westworld S1
Now this show, this is good. Surprising only had a single person recommend it to me.
I would definitely consider it a masterpiece of modern TV.
Other than a few scene inconsistencies here and there I only really have a couple nitpicks.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys pretty much anything related to AI, psychology and deep interwoven stories.
Titles dropped during this period
Date A Live「デート-ア-ライブ」.ep1
Someone recently gave me a handful of movies and anime. This was one of the anime.
Watched most of the first episode and just felt it was a little too bs.
