Yup, watched American Gods. Was very excited for it, as Gaiman is one of my favourite authors (ofc the Final Fantasy link there is Yoshitaka Amano!).

I haven't read the novel in over a decade, so I had little expectation as to how it would compare, or much need to compare it (unlike my wife!).

I thought the dialogue, casting, effects, animation, music, humour, and sets were all spot-on. The only thing that I felt let-down by was a meandering storyline and the rather pointless and hence overly dramatic 'reveal' of Odin. I mean he could have at least used Zantetsuken.

Hope you feel better soon!
