Great cast, and some excellent horror elements, but the whole thing is episodic and just doesn't gel properly enough for you to care. For the full review check out One Mann's movies at https://bob-the-movie-man.com/2019/10/05/one-manns-movies-film-review-it-chapter-two-2019/.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Faces Places (2017) in Movies
Oct 12, 2017
The easygoing, episodic structure of their journey gives “Faces Places” a deceptively casual air. The film works just fine as an anthology of amiable encounters and improvised collaborations.

Edmund, Lucy, and their cousin Eustace join King Caspian's quest to find seven banished lords who were loyal to his father. This book is very episodic in nature, but since I love all things nautical, I can't help loving this book.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2067 KP) rated Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters: Bk. 2 in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Percy Jackson sets out on a quest to save Grover the satyr and possibly Camp Half Blood as well. I had a few issues with the plot being episodic and a tad too much like the first one, but over all I enjoyed this second book in the series.

Eleanor Luhar (47 KP) rated Natsume's Book of Friends, Volume 1 in Books
Jun 24, 2019
Several of my friends are into manga and so I have an extensive to-read list compiled, yet I found this on a whim instead. As Midorikawa mentions in the little asides throughout this book, it is an episodic manga. This made it a nice quick read to pick up on impulse, and not too much of an investment.
As it is episodic, there is no singe plot to really summarise. The main gist is Takashi Natsume seeing strange creatures - yokai - that nobody else can. After inheriting his deceased grandmother's strange notebook, he discovers that she had the same ability. Due to being such an outcast amidst her village, though, she takes her frustrations out on the yokai. Natsume's Book of Friends - the book Takashi inherited - is basically a collection of contracts signed by various yokai pledging their 'devotion' to her. Owning this book gives Takashi complete power over them, and naturally many of the yokai are eager to take it. Instead, Takashi sets out to return the names of all the yokai. He is accompanied by one yokai who he accidentally freed from a shrine, Nyanko Sensei - who, after being trapped inside a ceramic cat, usually takes the form of a cat. Takashi likes to remind him of this frequently (and Sensei is definitely not amused).
The episodes can each be read as a standalone, though they do connect in some ways. Takashi slowly begins to understand what he's doing, and the relationship between him and Nyanko Sensei develops somewhat. While most of Takashi's interactions are with yokai, there is one particular chapter in this novel where he meets another human who he can relate to. There is also a touching chapter - the final in the novel - where Takashi helps a yokai to meet the human that saved her in her past life.
The art is lovely and the relationship between Sensei and Takashi is really amusing. There isn't a huge amount of character development or depth due to the episodic nature of the novel, but Takashi is likeable and kind. I would definitely recommend it for a quick/light read, and I may have a look for the rest of the series. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
