The latest animated adaptation of China's award-winning sci-fi novel "The Three-Body Problem" has become a quick hit online, adding to the list of popular domestically produced animations. Called "The Three-Body Animation," the 15-episode series is based on the second book of famed Chinese writer Liu Cixin's trilogy and has garnered praise from fans online after being released. The two episodes aired so far have gained more than 130 million views combined on Bilibili, with the video streaming site calling the series its "biggest animation investment" in the past few years. The "Three-Body" series is Liu's best-selling apocalyptic space opera trilogy. The trilogy has since gained a massive following in China and around the world, especially after the series' first installment won the Hugo Award in 2015, a year after its English translation was published.

The series is a bit "Tenet" and quite interesting. The Lazarus Project has some forgivable continuity flaws, but it's a good TV series that mixes old time travel ideas from The End of Eternity, Groundhog Day, and The Adjustment Bureau. Despite the lack of temporal logic: "mutants" can revive months side by side with normal agents (non-mutants who cannot revive months), although they can use a special drug to remember, which ends up causing a certain exponential unsustainability, because instead to go back in time, they would actually be creating multiverses. But time travel is just that, travel of the imagination.

Existenz 1999 was a fun movie, to say the least. Its gooey special effects matched the times. Crimes of the Future 2022, and its anachronistic visual effects - also gross - outweigh the weirdness of Crimes of the Future 1970.

Either way, it's a tasteless and aesthetically ugly film. After all, no art.
