Probably not much of a poster. A she/her kinda gal from 1997
Batman Caped Crusader season 2 Like the first season, I like how it tries to be so different from BTAS knowing it could never live up to it. Sadly, this season doesn't wow me the way the last one did but I still found it interesting to watch. Felt gorier and more vulgar though
Dr. No Very fun, I appreciate the small character moments with Bond that imply more about him and I loved the dinner scene. Sure, it's aged terribly in multiple ways, but I see why this was such an exciting new kind of film back in the day, very pleased as I didn't like the other 2 Bond film I saw
Spider-Man Brand New Day I hated the last movie so this was a pleasant surprise. Some misgivings here and there but I ended up not regretting my friends dragging me to watch this. Turns out having an actual director makes this way enjoyable to watch too!
World's Finest: The Devil Nezha My first proper introduction to the Doom Patrol, happened to find these in Dutch which was very fun but the comic itself was good too! I didn't realize this was where the Bats and Supes fusion was from so that just made it even more fun!
Justice League Dream Girls Lovely stuff, I wasn't too lost despite missing some background stuff and not having experienced Galaxy or Dreamer before but I loved the dreamscape stuff alongside the style switching to more familiar territory for me. The extra stories and previews were real great too!
Vestaria Saga 2 Truly one of the most insane yet rewarding games I've played, Kaga's still got it after all these years. For a silly RPG maker game, I got more enjoyment out of it than a lot of bigger releases, this is one for the oldschool Fire Emblem fans alongside the first game!
Rhythm Heaven Groove An absolute delight that oozes charm, I beat it a few days ago and still find myself humming some songs or thinking of the audio cues, my one regret is that I played it in English as after checking the Dutch localization, I found out it's excellent! Very much worth a try imo
Weapons Insane movie, the direction kept killing me to the point I now have total faith in Zach Cregger's upcoming Resident Evil movie, especially cause of his indoor shots. The ending is so fucked yet cathartic too, felt very ballsy
Obsession Deeply uncomfortable movie, I loved the use of shadows and sound design. I'm still thinking of it the next day, especially liked some of the physical acting Inde Navarrette did, can't recommend it enough
Disclosure Day Didn't really like it as much as I feel I should, maybe I was having an off day but I was only really invested in Emily Blunt's performance, though Courtney Grace made me feel something in the last like 5 minutes which was neat. Think seeing it once was enough for one lifetime though
The Matrix I feel kinda let down? When everyone did the things this movie did and shared the biggest moments for over 25 years, finally seeing the original makes me think "Yeah I saw this already". Visually it's fantastic and I liked what they did with Smith but man, what a weird feeling
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde It's very amusing to see the twist of something so commonly known that it loses the impact that made the twist so common to begin with, though a shame as there's quite a bit to pick at, having seen people suffer addiction made this resonate with me a lot though
Mina the Hollower Instant classic, there's SO much here and it feels great once you're used to the game and break through the tough beginning, I feel like I robbed the devs by only paying 20 euros for it! Very different feel from Shovel Knight but in a way that they both stand out, a masterpiece
Ayaka is in love with Hiroko! Beautiful and moving, as a sapphic woman myself, I cannot help but feel I can't love women as much as Sal Jiang does, anyone wanting some good yuri is in for a feast, I was so glad to find this in a store by sheer chance
Witch Hat Atelier Absolutely brilliant adaptation, I daresay call it a mustwatch and cannot wait for season 2, I had high expectations considering how great the manga is but they were exceeded quite a bit, especially in regards to the masterclass dubbing
Dirty Pair anime Absolutely lovely, cheesy as all hell and this new dub's quite good too! I still think this holds up and is easily one of my favourite anime of all time, I truly recommend it to pretty much anyone seeking light, fun adventures!
Deltarune chapter 5 I need to accept there's no predicting what kind of insanity Toby Fox keeps giving us, be it the laughs, the gameplay, character moments on hidden stuff, I'm so mad we don't have the last 2 chapters yet, which is the best sign of an episodic release
My Adventures with Superman season 2 Loved it, had the heart of the first season and all the Kara stuff was simply great to see, easily one of my favourite takes on her, cannot wait to see how anime Superman goes with season 3, probably helps that I saw this when I was in a bad mental spot
Boony Tunes? Wait no that makes them sound like they're from the boonies. Wait yes it gives us the greatest anime battle "THROUGH OUT HEAVEN AND EARTH I ALONE AM THE HONOURED HOMBRE, NOW SAY YA PRAYERS, VARMIN" "Boy, I say boy! Yer strong, but not as strong as a wet brick! Side of a barn BUSTER!"
Princess Knight A lovely classic, I always knew Tezuka's works were a delight but finally getting my hands on some of his stuff is truly a blessing, I feel most people owe it to themselves to read this timeless fairytale-like manga
Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge This isn't anything too special and is too serious for Darkstalkers imo but man is this fun to see, it still manages to keep a good 70% of the charm, I can get lost in the animation all day. Kinda wastes a good chunk of characters but enjoyed it for what it was
Top Gun Didn't really care for this ngl. It's visually impressive with the jets and has a great score, don't get me wrong, but it felt real lacking in what I really want from a movie, hell, from an 80's action flick too. It was pretty damn gay though so my time wasn't wasted
The Amazing Digital Circus Goddamn. Reminds me a bit of RWBY in a sense, but man, what a work of art, I won't go into final episode spoilers but I'm very much interested in seeing the perception of it, what a wild ride this has been, I'm glad I gave this the benefit of doubt when it was new
In The Grey I'm sure this is just standard stuff but as someone who hasn't seen many movies like it, it seemed great, oozing with style, I should see more like it
Lily and Claire are like THE trans names, I keep struggling to realize people called those aren't always trans lmao. As for the original point, is this relevant?
Green Arrow Year One Good shit, really eager to read more of GA, just need to remember which ones my buddy recommended years ago, especially if we get DC Compafts of em
Bartender For every wonky bit of animation, this show makes up for 10 times over in charm, I see why one of my best friends kept going on about it for a decade, what a wonderfully unique gem
Patlabor the movie Holy shit this movie kicks so much ass, it looks gorgeous, music is Kenji Kawai goodness and the story hits even harder today, I feel so stupid for not seeing it sooner
Maus Terrible things all around the story, but so personal yet gripping that despite this being highly praised as is, I feel it should be required reading for anyone who likes comics as a medium. I even cried, what an excellent piece of art
