Can't say I enjoyed it. Might be the faulty translation, but I found this novel very confusing and difficult to read.

Mythical & Magical is something of a mix of folk rock and classical metal, the songwriting is nothing short of brilliant. Every time you think it's about to get boring some sweet melodic solo starts or it turns out otherwise nothing you'd expect. Not even cheap production quality and weird vocals can make this less than five star album.

A very philosophical and symbolic novel, it might be easier to digest if you happen to know a thing or two about the politics and culture of the 19th century Europe.

The story of modern Latin America compiled into one single village and family. The tempo of the story is crazy and information gets shot at you machine gun -style, but the reading feels so satisfying you won't even care. It's just so good.

One of the greatest novels ever written. The narrative is so rich and moves so fast it's rather difficult to read, but the satisfaction it gives is absolutely worth it. It's a little mystery what the story was all about, but it only makes you want to read it again with fresh mind.

The legends are true. This show is indeed terrible.
I think they meant this for adults but it's more childish than most legit kids' stuff, for example they swear like teenagers who just found about the internet and that's the main joke of the whole thing. They really don't do anything interesting with the animation itself, it's not like South Park where everything's so absurd and there's so much gore and plot twists it's actually the funniest thing ever.
Santa Inc. is completely lifeless.

This was my third or fourth time reading this thing and it's still one of the best graphic novels ever.

Second time watching this film, and if I thought I got a bang out of this film the first time, it completely blew me even more now.
The villain of the film is something of a caricature of a dictator mixed with charasteristics of Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, etc, but he also rules like a Roman emperor and even has his own praetorian guard and knights of the round table and he rules his kingdom like Satan himself.
His character closely resembles that of a classical tyrant defined by Aristotle in a sense that his main driving force is envy towards anyone and anything he feels is more talented or better than him. Thus he only breeds incompetence and causes anything of value turn to garbage.
At the end his body may be dead, but the spirit still lives on. His grand vision was to create a new man, but as with anything else he only managed to corrupt human spirit and produce garbage into this world.

By this point I have already read so much of this stuff that most of this book is just repeating the same old plus it's once again a political commentary to then recent state of Russian working class, so nothing that interesting here.
Another bunch of theoretic papers was about dialectic materialism and the theory behind it. Most of it was very outdated to say the least, but the core and history of the thought were very intriguing.
