I'd moreso look at whoever was the cinematographer, or the specific director for some of the episodes.

But if you loved the overall tone, Craig is showrunning The Last of Us TV series. They're not really too similar except in tension and tone a bit.

Definitely Attack on Titan,

"Perfect Game", "Hero", and "Midnight Sun", is some of, if not THE, best television out there, period. From drama, to action, to music, to emotional and dramatic weight; the stakes just feel so fucking real, and being able to sell those stakes is I think it's biggest strength.

And this part was only recent surpassed 2 seasons later by "Two Brothers", "Memories of the Future", and "From you, 2000 years ago". Some have claimed this to be the absolute pinnacle of what fiction is capable of when it first released in the book. Two brothers did what the previous sequence did dialed up to 100, memories of the future is the ultimate mic drop and flex as a writer that recontextualizes the entire series, and the last brings the entire series full circle; an absolute masterpiece..... and it only happens half way through the season.

EEAAO (Everything Everywhere All At Once), I didn't really have much going on during my birthday, so I randomly decided to go my local theater; I love seeing movies on the big screen, and I live stupidly close to an AMC.

Like I really decided half way through that day that I would go see a movie, and seeing how nothing else was out, I decided to watch the one thing that I had heard good stuff about. I purposefully didn't look at rotten tomatoes or anything beforehand, or a trailer because I really wanted to go in blind.

It was a small/standard sized auditorium filled with just myself, one larger guy a few rows behind me at the back, and a couple about 3-4 rows ahead of me, since EEAAO had been out for awhile at this point.

I was really liking the movie about 1 hour/90 minutes in, but it wasn't until I began to love the film when Waymond's confession happened that made me tear up. From this point on I was on some thin eggshells from releasing the waterfall (Again, it was only me and 3 other people in the audience, so i didnt exactly have the anonymity of a large crowd).

There's a point in the movie where the film goes completely quiet to make a loud point, you could hear a pin drop at this point, and I swear I'm about to fucking lose it. You ever hear how quiet a theater is when the credits are over and everyone has left? It was that quiet. I, and I'm sure the rest of the theater, hear a sniffle from the guy in the back, and it's GG no re, the dam of tears and emotions break and everyone including myself is just bawling/sniffling and wiping tears (at again, the most quiet scene of the entire film).

That day, I walked out of that theater having felt my that soul had been reset. I had heard good things about this movie, but for it to have such a profound effect on me was a really touching and unforgettable moment. I'm really glad I got to see it that day, time, and place, with those same strangers. And it was a heavy reminder why I love going to the theater.
