Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)
One of the best experiences of my life regarding the universe of Star Wars. One of the best Star Wars stories so far.
The way Clone Wars made me care for the clones was amazing. The way I love Ashoka Tano is something wonderful to feel; I care so much about her and I'm inspired by her. All the plots regarding Kenobi and Anakin, the council, the politics, all was Star Wars as it finest way. Dave Filoni really loves and cares about Star Wars, and you can feel it and see it in Clone Wars.
I can't deny that the fillers episodes, well some of them, were extremely boring and horrible. It made me stop while I was watching it, and I stopped several times. But I think is the only downside of this series, because everything else was just incredible, you feel Star Wars in the best possible way.
The way that Clone Wars portray the clones was one of the strongest points for me of this series.
The way that we see the problems of the Jedi Council is amazing; thanks to this series we see the problem and the error of the Jedi Council.
Anakin, Ashoka and Obi wan and the clones were for me the central focus of Clone Wars. Every plot about them were amazing. The plots added so much deepness to the characters that you can start seeing reasons, emotions and the problem of decisions in every one of them.
One thing I've realized now, is that Anakin was really cornered, in a sense, to pass to the dark side; everything, every decision, every part of it make him so vulnerable to the situations that was almost impossible for him not to turn to the dark side. And it was one of the things that really struck me and hurt me more. See one of the best falling in the darkest path, is something really hard to watch.
Obi wan is one of the best Jedi of Star Wars ever without question. He really suffered a lot also; the difference was that he was really able to focus of what was right. He wasn't perfect, like he said to Anakin "I failed you Anakin", those words really stroke me like a thunder when I saw The revenge of the sith again, because I understood the pain Obi Wan was going through.
Ashoka Tano, what an amazing and crafted character, I think is the only character before Luke in the temporal line to break the circle of the problems that surrounded the Jedi's Council. She decided to walk away, because she felt that it wasn't right that they didn't trust her; it was one of the best moments in Star Wars. The development of Ashoka was so wonderful, that now I'm remembering every mission and every feeling she went through and it makes me sad and happy, it makes me think how deep was her life, and in some sense, this is the sort of feeling that I love; Her Journey was really meaningful for me.
And the clones man, what a great adventure I went with them. The deepness this series added to them was incredible. Before the clones for me were just people who kill, but after clone wars, they are really brothers in arms, they have feelings, they have thoughts and honor. The only problem was that the Evil Things always are in the way, and sometimes we don't see it. Even the most masters one weren't able to see it. But one solider did it, it makes me think; maybe humility and the pursue of those values, made fives (the clone) to find the answer that not even the Jedis were able.
Clone wars was and incredible journey; it has its down and ups, but the ups are extremely worth it. All its downs disappear the moment you start seeing the episodes that are just from another galaxy; the deepness, the emotion, the plot, everything, and for that it is worth to watch the whole series.

This Is Us: Don't Let Me Keep You (2022)
What is art?
For me, this episode is the definition of art. We humans, can't create perfection, it is something difficult to understand, but we can do better, be better, and build us. Build a new home for us.
I've seen a lot of ways the concept of build ourselves; it is something I truly love it. And the way the concept was introduced here was one of the best meaningful ways I've seen. It was meaningful, touching, and truthful. Thank you, writers.
This episode is one of the best episodes so far from This Is Us. Thanks to the writing and the direction for taken me back to the first seasons of this beautiful Tv series; because this episode it feels like it was from the first seasons of this is us.
I think I cried almost all the episode. Jack by far is one of my favorite characters, and seen him trying to do better, the small things and bigger things, it is one of the things that touch me the most about this series. He is not perfect, but he was close to be, something like that I remember Rebecca saying when the fourth of them were in therapy, and I agree with her. It is very difficult to try to be a better person, and seen Jack, after all the things that had happened to him, trying to do his best, is truly meaningful.
Like I said, he is not perfect, but I'm glad that he realized that and try to do better. I feel like this character was a part of myself in screen, telling me "Keep going" "Don't surrender" "Try your best" and I'm very glad about it.
I don't know what else to say about this episode. Of course, there are maybe little plot holes in the story, but for me those little plot holes, served to elevate this part of the story, like I said, We humans are not perfect.

Shingeki no Kyojin: Memories of the Future (2022)
My god, what have I just seen?
Shingeki no Kyojin is a truly masterpiece of fiction. This episode is the proof of one of the best writings I've seen in my life. Isayama is truly a genius.
I don't want to talk about what the episode is; better see it for yourself. The thing I can say is that this one of the most shocking things I've experienced. I don't know if this is the best episode of Shingeki, probably it is, but the way the direction managed to do this episode, was the best way you can imagine, it was truly meaningful and emotional.
I felt every feeling of the characters when I was seeing this episode; Every emotion, every pain, I was shocked multiple times, I was in a state of delirium; it was a magnificent experience.
