Glass Film Trailer Review


So what is there to say about the Glass official movie trailer? For starters, I was really caught off guard when I watched Split as it set me up for this film and now that the trailer for this film has been released, I have no other reaction but excitement. But then again, I am a sucker for these pop corny super-powered flicks but even before Marvel knew how to handle its thing, Unbreakable was the first to impress me in terms of a superhero flick with a good narrative and a villain.


Now on to what we see in the trailer. What better way to put all these ridiculous super characters in one location but to "institutionalized" them for their bizarre mental conditions. Little did the mental expert know that she is biting more than she could chew. It is going to be interesting how they got into the institution in the first place, the forming of alliance and the ultimate conclusion of this epic bout of superiors.




M. Night Shyamalan who? Well, the guy has been on the bad end of the stick after blunder after blunder of bad films. Maybe this was for the better and hopefully this humbled him to become a much better director or script writer and less the "mindblowing" twist (coughs NOT coughs), OR just play safe and just capitalized on what he has established with Unbreakable and the Sixth Sense. In the age where people flock the theaters for big budget high octane super heroics, a much more serious, grounded but still as fantastical tale of superheroes and villains is probably what need as a palate cleanser.


How about you guys? What do you think that this will be third (and maybe final) chapter in the Unbreakable film series? What is your favorite among the previous two movies?

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime 2018 Anime Impressions: Isekai Adventure of an Overpowered Slime

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime or Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken is a 2018 an anime based from the Japanese light novel series written by Fuse and illustrated by Mitz Vah; serialized online between 2013 and 2016 on the user-generated novel publishing website Shōsetsuka ni Narō. The series first aired on October 2, 2018 on Tokyo MX and is available for the global audience legally through Crunchyroll and Funimation. The series is a new addition to the ever popular and growing isekai genre which literally translates to "different world". This time we have a normal human being who got transferred or reincarnated after meeting his demise on the human world. From the title itself, he got reincarnated into one powerful slime. Let's check out what That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken) is all about here.


That Time I Got Reincarnated
Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Plot

37-year old average salary man Minami Satoru met an untimely death by stabbing when he attempted to rescue his subordinate from a random attack from a ruffian. As he slowly whittle away, his last words are seemingly transformed into statistics for a new character sheet in a video game, mainly an RPG. When he awakens, he found himself not being able to see, hear, speak, and move like a human. He has been reincarnated into a slime. All is not lost as he has two pretty "useful" (more like overpowered) skills he can use, the ability [Predator] that can analyze, seize, and evolve an opponent’s abilities usually after observing (more on consuming) it, and the [Great Sage] ability where he talks to a disembodied voice that seemingly has every explanation about the world he has now been reincarnated into.




He then meets a catastrophe-level monster called “Storm Dragon Veldora ” sealed within the same cave where he is in and befriends him. He then forms a pact or a promise to help him break out of the seal, even if it means "temporarily" storing the legendary dragon deep within his body while the [Great Sage] makes its attempts. Before doing so, Veldora formed a pact by naming each other as a sign of friendship and mutual respect. Veldora received the name "Veldora Tempest", while the storm dragon gave our main protagonist the name name “Rimuru Tempest”.


A new world opens to Rimuru as he sets foot (more like bounced with his gelatinous with his slime body) outside the cave.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime 2018 Anime Impressions
Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken 2018 Anime Impressions


As of the making of this post, (October 9, 2018) I have already seen the first two episodes of the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime 2018 anime which made me follow it up with the manga and I ended it with Volume 44. IF I became more impatient, I might as well pick up the light novel. Yes, it is that good for me. It is comparable to Overlord in a sense that the main protagonist is an overpowered monster, but they have a few key differences and that is what makes both these titles special in their own different way.


Rimuru is also a very charismatic leader and to just avoid spoilers. Great things will come to charismatic leaders and I will leave it at that. While in Overlord, Ainz Ooal Gown is a scheming roleplayer and is surrounded by diabolical evils, Rimuru on the other hand is more on the benevolent side. In this manner, he is falls on the standard good guy trophe which might be common, but after a while, it is a breathe of fresh air from the awesome "Overlord" and the usual shallow overpower isekai series like those series which should not be named. There is also this new 2018 anime which depicts Goblins as savage beasts which is the complete contrast of the goblins in this series. We'll get to that anime later on along the line. What I can say as a fan of Overlord, this could very well fill in the gap left by Season 3 and while we wait for season 4 (if ever one will be announced). Ig you are not a fan or even familiar with Overlord (why?), then this is a highly recommended anime to check out.
