Ghosts Australia is… Disappointing

The Ghosts series captivated me ever since I saw the USA version. Then I learned that the original version was the UK one. I’ve watched both and I must say, they were entertaining.

Ghosts UK has since finished but Ghosts USA is ongoing.

Then I saw that Australia also got a Ghosts tv series. And apparently there are other Ghosts countries out there such as Greece and Germany to name a few. But for now, let’s talk Ghosts Australia.

It sucks. Bad.

The plot should have been relatively easy to follow. Young couple inherits an old mansion, the mansion is a host for ghosts who couldn’t crossover. The female lead gets into an accident caused by one of the ghosts and has a near death experience which lets her see the supernatural. She gets to learn the backstory of each ghost and somehow, the male lead learns to live with it.

The Elixir (Netflix) 2025

The Elixir, another zombie movie is now in Netflix. Like most movies, there’s always that stupid survivor character that does stupid things that eventually progresses the plot. Especially since humans will always find a way to keep themselves safe, you need that stupid survivor to let a zombie in, or keep a zombie bite secret or else the zombie movie would be boring and would take a very long time before some action happens.

The Elixir zombie movie, however, seems to have a cast full of stupid survivors.

I would like to write a review on this. But my brain needs to rest after watching what seems to be characters with a total IQ equal to room temperature. In Celsius.

But, if you’re frustrated in life and think you’re surrounded by idiots, watch The Elixir.

[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control Anime

Japan can literally make anything into anime and [C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control Anime is proof of that. The plot is about the Japan financial crisis, stock market, currencies and how hyperinflation can destroy a country.

Kimimaro Yoga is the 19 year old protagonist who is a penny pincher as he’s an orphan. Every moment for him is an every revolving door of school, work, and live. One day, he gets a visit from Masakaki, claiming to be an employee of Midas Bank. This is what I love about Japanese mangakas, the name of the bank already foreshadows the chaos the bank will do. Kimimaro is being scouted for the position of an entrepreneur or “Entre” for short.

Msyu – Kimimaru’s Asset

This is the catalyst that draws Kimimaro in the the Financial District, an alternate reality where Entres duel other Entres into battles called “deals” and they use supernatural beings called “Assets”. The Entres fight with there Assets using various financial terms which would probably delight stockbrokers, bankers, economists etc. Their life points is determined by the amount of money they have, money is also the “mana” that the Assets need to fire off powerful attacks. To fire an attack is an investment with the goal of each attack draining the other Entres finances to 0 or having the most money as the timer ends in order to win the Deal.

Every Entre also gains “Midas Money” which is magically generated by the Financial District and the Entre can spend it in the real world. As the saying goes, “Time is Gold”, [C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control Anime manifests that by linking Midas Money to the time or future of an Entre.
