Malice@Doll:

This is a really fascinating surrealist horror anime that uses its limited animation and grotesque imagery incredibly well. Lending itself to the unsettling nature of the narrative and allegories for SA with how these dolls are stripped of their bodily autonomy.

Soul Eater (Reread):

One of my childhood series, and it's even better than what I remembered. I love its horror-esque world and aesthetic, and the characters along with their shared dynamics, remain incredibly captivating. Even with its rough bits, it truly means a lot to me.

K-pop Demon Hunters:

While its premise and story were extremely generic, I found the music and animation quality to be quite incredible. That being said, the humor wasn't great, and I wasn't super crazy for any character despite the decent third act. It's fine, but not for me.

BanG Dream! Ave Mujica:

Even if I slightly prefer MyGO, this is still a great follow-up. The more dramatic direction, music, and sense of aesthetic was enticing, and the cast really managed to stand out as individuals while greatly adhering to the concepts of loss and rebirth.

BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!!:

I can't help but adore the amount of grit shown through all the melodrama and dejection, even if its slow-burn nature causes some moments to feel messy. The characters really resonated with me (especially Tomori) and greatly elevated the superb music.

Kitanai Kimi ga Ichiban Kawaii:

Definitely not for others, but despite how fucked it was, I appreciated the somewhat realistic depiction of a toxic/abusive codependent relationship. There's a sense of eerie comfort that results in a tragic end, and it's all paced really well.

Touhou 20: Fossilized Wonders:

Easily one of the best Touhou games; the only thing that holds it back is its contradictory AI usage. Still, it's riveting story, consistently great music, and versatile stone mechanics make up for it. I'll definitely keep coming back to this one.

How do I turn my Best Friend into my Girlfriend?:

This one's very fluffy and silly. While it was a bit frustrating at times with how dense the protagonists are, it was still fun for the most part. Housing two relatable leads with a strong connection and a good supporting cast.

Solo Leveling (Season 2):

k creating the most sleep inducing show imaginable. When tested with patients, a staggering 90% increase was shown in sleep time and quality. So if you're ever looking for a good nap, just remember to put on a Solo Leveling episode.

Solo Leveling (Season 1):

Ever fallen asleep while watching Solo Leveling? Well, you're not alone. Apparently it's studio was tasked with creating a TV anime that would help insomnia patients with sleep. Inspired by the infamously boring South Korean comic, the studio got to wor

Azumanga Daioh: The Very Short Movie:

I love the art style. I also like Osaka and her autism. I also want to beat Tomo with a rock.

Azumanga Daioh: The Animation:

I really like this adaption. It doesn't include every gag but rearranges some for consistency, and it works. Seeing these girls and their silly antics animated warmed my heart, and the voice work was incredibly charming and funny. It was truly fun.

Azumanga Daioh:

A very funny and cute series that I had a pleasant time reading. I was pretty easily endeared to the characters and their unique quirks, plus there's a really sweet message about cherishing the good old days of high school. The 2009 chapters were also enjoyable.

Sinners:

My high expectations were surpassed. The direction and dialogue and how they are used to commentate on gentrification are phenomenal, and the usage of vampires feels incredibly genius. And of course, the music, and all the culture it carries with it, is amazing.

Squid Game (Season 3):

While not as bad as I thought it was going to be, I still have mixed feelings overall. It still does a great job showing the worst of human nature, but it lacks a lot of payoff and closure, with an ending that feels hollow. It's just very disappointing.

Netsuzou Trap:

A manga that managed to captivate me and piss me off several times, feeling inconsistent and messy at times as well. However, it's two leads (especially Hotaru) were interesting, and the troubling nature plays into their woes well. Overall... I don't fucking know.

Another:

It has some aspects and characters I like, but it's pretty generic, if not very silly, for most of the runtime... Until the finale becomes one of the funniest and most aggravating trainwrecks I've seen in a show, all of which was preventable. God bless these idiots.

Revue Starlight: El Dorado:

At first, I wasn't a fan of this game's repetition found across its four different routes. However, it makes up for it by expanding on the goals and promises of characters I've grown to love. With a final, emotional cinematic that warmed my heart.

Love and Dreams Don't Mix:

I wanted to do a quick short read and ended up with a pretty captivating reclamation love story. The two leads and their desires play into the drama incredibly well, and there's some effective comedy that adds to it. Kairi did nothing wrong ❤️.

The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All:
Status: Caught up

Very stylistic, and I like how it ties passion for one's music preference to the expression of their identity. Although I do have issues with how disjointed the pacing can be. Still, it was a nice read overall.

Lycoris Recoil: Friends Are Thieves of Time:

These were very fun and cute shorts involving a cast that I love deeply. There obviously isn't much to say beyond on that, but seeing café lycoreco's day to day interactions make me happy.... Kurumi is lost media-
