 ==== 1988 OVA ====

 I'm assuming this OVA assumes the audience had read the manga, because it felt like a side-story (1) and it also seemed like it assumed the audience was familiar with the subject-matter.
-However, there is something I noticed that I find notable: the antagonist is right and...I don't think it's intentional? It doesn't feel intentional because he's portrayed as the bad guy, but he's clearly correct.\\

-His observation is that living in Olympus is kinda suffocating for humans. Bioroids are, like, 60% of the population and, consequently, the city is designed in such a way as to assume people are acting like Bioroids. And, I mean...yeah? The entire administration is Bioroid too. So the city does actually just come off as a sorta Zoo for humans. Though the fact it's being said so openly suggests it //is// intentional? Masamune Shirow doesn't exactly have the best [[lb:gits|track record]] when it comes to making a story with a theme that isn't discordant with the story being told...but this is still kinda weird.

 Also, there are a lot of spelling mistakes in this one.

 I think this film is good, though I don't know what I could really say about it. By modern standards, the animation isn't great...but I think the action holds up. The story is a bit meh.
 ==== Ex Machina ====
-Ex Machina is the sequel to the 2004 movie and...well, I thought it was better than the first one. Basically just a straight upgrade.\\

 Except that the second part of the film just turns into a zombie apocalypse, which is kinda lame.

 Interestingly, you could interpret the apocalypse as being a direct result of Olympus’ hubris. If so, that's very Greek Mythology.

 Also, one of the characters (the representative of Poseidon) is pretty hot. She is single-handedly one of the reasons you may want to watch this film. Unfortunately, she only appears like 3 times in the whole film.
