If this project succeeds I better see a fandom revival with Ryoko/Nagi. Criminally slept-on ship
"Isekai slop" this "isekai slop" that cool did you know all these are from this year alone
Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo (2023) Got all the endings, including the “true” one. Very much enjoyed the journey on this more than I did its destination, which sort of collapses under the weight of all its setup into an underwhelming conclusion.
Witch Hat Atelier (2026) Spectacular animation and direction had me eagerly returning for more each week, even if I've yet to be hooked by the story or characters.
Ooedo Torimonochou: Nezumi Kozou (1989) Most remarkable thing I can say about this is that I selected it as a pre-show group watch of The Exorcist.
Kind of relieved to hear I'm on the right track mentally poomang.com/en/t/brain_t...
Seed by Ania Ahlborn (2011) Read this because I loved Brother, but unfortunately this never landed for me. Ahlborn’s style of writing is compelling enough that I still enjoyed it, but I wish it wasn’t a yet another standard “creepy possessed kid” story with every cliche hit.
The Low, Low Woods by Carmen Maria Machado and Dani (2020) Compelling story, but the text often overtakes the (sometimes wonderfully vivid, other times clunky) art in a way that repeatedly made me go "Why wasn't this fully written in prose instead?"
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (2011) Played the HD version. Consistently fun, charming characters, beautiful colors and music. Wish the story was a little stronger, especially as the game proceeded to pad out its length with fetch quests and backtracking.
