Y'all I just finished watching Trese on Netflix and honestly I really enjoyed it. If you're a fan of Supernatural, you will definitely enjoy this anime. I also really liked the Filipino folklore aspect of it. Overall, I give it a 7/10. Review coming soon on my YouTube channel! pic.twitter.com/e6ppimlZvj

It's definitely worth the hype and more. #Trese was quick, thrilling, familiar, and gruesome. If you're Filipino or not, you should give this series a shot!

Over all I'm really happy with the series and hope that Netflix gets more animated shows from Filipino creatives. Can't wait for Season 2!!!

Trese (preliminary review)
So the new anime Trese is everything I’d want in a show depicting the Filipino supernatural entities. Growing up my great grandmother and grandma would tell me stories of the White Lady, Aswang, etc. so seeing it depicted in a show is *french kiss* pic.twitter.com/Wi2nBozDjJ

Trese review

The Good: The world building, mystery, and mythical creatures

The bad: Pacing and not enough episodes to tie the story together, and Liza's voice acting (it lacked but there's room for improvement)

trese mini review: did an amazing job showcasing the philippine folklore. the animation is almost as great as the japanese ones. I’m amazed on how realistic some scenes are it’s 10/10, the only downside is it’s pacing - a bit sloppy but overall it’s must watch show #TabiTabiPo

- there are some plots that made me wonder how it happened like the last 2 eps
- Rate: 8/10
- Would I watch again? Sure. Maybe in pure Japanese dub this time 😂

The series is directed by Jay Oliva, Tim Divar, David Hartman, and Mel Zwyer. The story is penned by Zig Marasigan, Mihk Vergara, and Tanya Yuson. As the debut season has received much acclaim, there is a possibility of it having a new season. However, no official confirmation on the same is made yet.
