Would you help me to correct anything wrong or unnatural in the following sentences?
I'd like to know common colloquial phrases and slang! 🙇‍♂️

As a side note, A and B stand for people❗️

Movie summary is Shinnosuke and his friends enter a super elite boarding school for a week, and various incidents occur.

B: Have you seen "Tenkasu Gakuen"?
A: I've watched it recently!
It was really good!
Have you seen it?
B: I haven't yet.
I'm gonna watch it when it'll start to be uploaded on a streaming service!
A: It's on Netflix!
B: Really!?
I'll watch it this week!
A: I recommend it!
At first I thought it was more for kids than the usual Shinchan's movies, but I shouldn't have made light of it!
B: Were you moved?
A: Yeah.
It made me think about the idea of eugenics and equality.
B: It's a pretty deep theme.
A: I thought every one is different, so Equality doesn't exist, that's why every one is wonderful.
B: Great point.
A: By the way, I'm getting used to the new voice actors's voice.
Have you gotten used to it?
B: Ummm, I still feel a little strange.
I really liked Yajima's and Fujiwara's voices.
Did you like them both?
A: Of course! It's like I grew up with their voices.
But I think the two new voices have become more familiar with the characters than they were at the beginning.
B: They must be under a lot of pressure!
A: Indeed.
B: What number is the movie in your rank of all the Shinchan's films?
A: Ummm, tied with "Yakiniku" for fourth!
B: You like "Yakiniku"?
A: I like that ridiculousness. Haha
What do you think?
B: Ummm, not really. Haha
I didn't really find it funny.
What's third favorite?
A: "Robot to-chan"!
B: Nice!
Some of it didn't make a bit of sense, but I was moved though.
Let me guess first and second.
A: Yeah. But can you do it? Haha
B: Sure.
Well... I think I have two options.
Let's see, the first goes to "Adult" and the second to "Sengoku"!
A: Wrong! Haha
You put it in the wrong order.
B: Oh, c'mon! I missed the only two choices. Haha
A: But when I'm a little older, I'll probably change my ranking to that you mentioned.

You don't need the genitive here.

Movie summary iThe movie follows Shinnosuke and his friends who enter a super elite boarding school for a week, and various incidentthings occur.

We don't usually say "movie summary is" when talking about a film. Other than that, "follow" is a nice verb here when talking about characters in a story. For instance: "The Hunger Games follows the story of Katniss Everdeen, a very talented archer."

B: Have you seen "Tenkasu Gakuen"?

A: I've watchedseen it recently!

This is just a change to make the verbs correspond: Have you seen it? = Yes, I have seen it recently.

It was really good!

Have you seen it?

B: I haven't yet.

I'm gonna watch it when it'll start to be gets uploaded on a streaming service!

"It'll start to be uploaded" doesn't work. This is an alternative you can use.

A: It's on Netflix!

B: Really!

?

I'll watch it this week!

A: I recommend it!

At first I thought it was more for kids than the usual Shinchan's movies, but I shouldn't have made light of it!

B: Were you moved?

A: Yeah.

It made me think about the idea of eugenics and equality.

B: It's a pretty deep theme.

A: I thoughtink every one is different, so Eequality doesn't exist, that's why every one is wonderful.

If you use the past tense here, it sounds like it's something you used to think but that you no longer think. Or perhaps it's something that you thought when watching the film.

B: Great point.

A: By the way, I'm getting used to the new voice actors's voice.

Have you gotten used to it?

B: Ummm, I still feelind it a little strange.

To find something x means that you think it is x. Here's an example: "Do you like Mozart's music?" "Yes, I find it quite relaxing." "I find it a little strange" means that you find the voice to be strange. If you want to use "feel", you could say: "I still feel a little strange about it." "About it" expresses what you're feeling strange about.

I really liked Yajima's and Fujiwara's voices.

Did you like them both?

A: Of course!

(It's like) I grew up with their voices.

I know people use "like" and "it's like" frequently in oral speech, but it's usually preferrable to ommit these kinds of expressions c:

But I think the two new voices have become more familiar with the characters than they were at the beginning.

B: They must be under a lot of pressure!

A: Indeed.

B: What number is theis movie in your rank of all thlist of favourite Shinchan's films?

This is clearer.

A: Ummm, it's tied with "Yakiniku" for fourth!

It's better to add the subject and verb.

B: YDo you like "Yakiniku"?

Same as the previous phrase, this is something that some native speakers do, but that is grammatically wrong. As a learner, it would be better to follow the rules!

A: I like thate ridiculousness of it.

Haha

What do you think?

B: Ummm, noI don't really like how ridiculous it is.

The original sentence is unclear.

Haha.

I didn't really find it funny.

What's your third favorite?

A: "Robot to-chan"!

B: Nice!

Some of it didn't make a bit ofmuch sense, but I was moved, though.

A: Yeah.

Feedback

Good job!
I marked some punctuation mistakes because there often aren't periods in your sentences. I know this is a casual conversation between friends that is supposed to imitate oral speech, but you still have to follow the punctuation rules! Other than that, here are some other comments:
- Genitive s: it isn't needed when talking about brands, names of sagas, etc: "I love Marvel comics"; "Huawei phones are really practical" ; "Have you ever read the A Song of Ice and Fire books?"
- Colloquialisms that aren't accepted in standard English: ommiting the verbs, generally, isn't acceptable in the standard English language. We might do it from time to time in oral speech, but it can be confusing. As a learner, it would be better for you to create sentences that have a subject and a verb always.

That's everything (:

The movie's summary is: Shinnosuke and his friends enterattend a super elite boarding school for a week, and various incidents occur.

B: Have you seen "Tenkasu Gakuen"?

A: I've watched it recently!

It was really good!

Have you seen it?

B: I haven't yet.

I'm gonna watch it when it'll start to be uploadedonce it is on a streaming service!

Though it is uploaded to a streaming service we would not specify that in conversational English.

A: It's on Netflix!

B: Really!

?

I remember writing this on one of your other blog posts. You have used it correctly here - Great job!

I'll watch it this week!

A: I recommend it!

At first I thought it was more forof a kids movie than the usual Shinchan's movies, but I shouldn't have made light of itjudged a book by its cover!

Judging a book by its cover = looking at something and deciding something about it before you have experienced it. Think about walking in a library and picking up a book with a really pretty cover to read, even though you don't know if it's a good book or not.
Let me know if you need me to explain this more.

Example setence:
That bowl of noodles looked gross, but it was delicious! I should not have judged a book by its cover.

B: Were you moved?

A: Yeah.

It made me think about the idea of eugenics and equality.

B: IThat's a pretty deep theme.

A: I thoughtink every one is different, so Equality doesn't exist, that's why every one is wonderful! But it also means equality is hard to achieve.

The meaning of this sentence is a little unclear. Equality and equity are two ideas in English which are really complicated.
Think of it like this:

Equality = There is a really tall fence one person can see over it, one person is a little too short to see over it and someone is much too short to see over it. Equality means all three of those people will be given the same size box to stand on. The tallest person, however, does not need it, the slightly to short person can see perfectly and the shortest person can still not see.

Equity = There is a really tall fence one person can see over it, one person is a little too short to see over it and someone is much too short to see over it. Equity means, the tall person does not get a box because they do not need it, and the two people who are too short get too different sized boxes so they both can see.

I know that was really complicated, it is a very hard idea for even native English speakers to understand.

Based on these explanations I have changed you sentence.

Sorry if I have confused you. Please let me know if you want me to clarify and I will try my best!

B: Great point.

A: By the way, I'm getting used to the new voice actors's voice.

If the word ends in an s, then you do not need to add another s when you use '.

Have you gotten used to it?

B: Ummm, Iir still feels a little strange.

I really liked Yajima's and Fujiwara's voices.

Did you like them both?

A: Of course!

It's like I grew up with their voices.

But I think the two new voiceswe have become more familiar with the characters than they were at the beginning' new voices.

I think this is a clearer way of saying the above sentence. Let me know if I have minsunderstood you

B: They must be under a lot of pressure!

A: Indeed.Exactly!

Indeed sounds really formal, exactly is a better option to fit the tone of your writing

B: What number is the movie in your rank of all there do you rank this movie in terms of your favourite Shinchan's films?

Let me know if you need me to explain this change.

A: Ummm, tied with "Yakiniku" for fourth!

B: You like "Yakiniku"?

A: I like thate ridiculousness.

Haha

What do you think?

B: Ummm, not really haha.

Haha

I didn't really find it funny.

What's your third favorite?

Favourite can be written as favorite or favourite.
Favourite = Brittish (and is favoured in Australia)
Favorite = American
It does not matter which one you use because English speakers will always understand you. I am just letting you know because you may read it both ways.

A: "Robot to-chan"!

B: Nice!

Some of it didn't make a bit of sense, but Iit was moved thoughing.

Let me guess your first and second favourite...

A: Yeah., but can you do it? haha

But can you do it?

Haha

B: Sure.Of course!

This sounds more natural

Well...

I think I have two options.

Let's see, the first goes to "Adult" and the second to "Sengoku"!

A: Wrong!

Haha

You put ithem in the wrong order.

Them not it since you are talking about two movies

B: Oh, c'mon!

I got the twoa 50/50 choiance questions wrong.!

This means they had a 50% chance of getting it right and a 50% chance of getting it wrong. In English we often just say it's a 50/50

Haha

A: But when I'm a little older, I'll probably change my ranking to twhat you mentionesaid.

How's this? ↓ "I think the two new voice actors have adjusted well to the character's voice than in the beginning when they took over the voice work."

Are you trying to say that the voice actors have gotten better at doing the voices? If that is
what you mean you can say:

"I think the two new voice actors have adjusted well to their roles as the characters' voices; they have improved since they took over the voice work."

Also is it one character or two characters? The sentence I have written below is for two characters.
