From the from soft titles I've only played Dark souls 3 and bloodborne, both were fantastic, bloodborne is actually one of my all time favorite games. I never played the DLC for DS 3 though, so I do have a very good excuse to replay it one day.



I'm pretty hyped to watch, I'm debating rewatching s1 and 2 before seeing it which is why I haven't gotten around to it yet.



Not a bad idea, I'm just apolygons2 on there. Same as here. Though I might edit this part out a few days later since my discord isn't really public, so add me when you can.

I haven't seen it but I know of it. Its high on my list already.

I've been playing a lot more games than watching stuff these past few months so I'm behind on some of my all time favourite shows (Beastars and Arcane are the 2 big ones). Haven't been very active on mal either.

With s2 coming out its probably a good time to catch up though. Tell me if s2 finishes the story. I'll probably watch it soon if thats the case.

Welp, Dandadan just locked in my episode of the year!

I was enjoying the show well enough, but holy shit that masterpiece was so above and beyond anything else from the rest of the show, or my expectations. I did not expect to cry today, what the hell.

It's impossible to put a 100% certain number on something anyway, the difference between high 7 and low 8 is small enough that it doesn't really matter.



I haven't seen or read domestic girlfriend, but honestly, I think I would actually enjoy that more when it comes to stuff like this. If people told me domestic girlfriend is good drama with a solid ending, I would be less interested, compared to it being known as the step incest, dumpster fire.

Bad shows and good shows are plenty, but the kind of trash that leaves a real impression and is entertaining for all the wrong reasons is exceptionally rare imo.

It honestly depends on the context, but generally I think the ending is always the most important section when it comes to the quality of a story. Not that it's a make or break, but it holds more weight than other sections.

Like darling in the franxx wasn't a masterpiece or anything but if it did have an ending that tied it together instead of.... well, that, I could see myself giving it a high 7 instead of the 4 it has now. But that ending is exceptionally shit.

For me I generally take away or add 1 score or less if the ending is a really good or bad.

But again, it really depends on the context. You have to ask yourself how much of the series was relying on that ending to be good. Like I'll be honest, the reason for paprika is a low 8 high 7 for me, but perfect blue is a 10, above everything else is because I thought the reveal of what was going on paprika was incredibly generic. It wasn't even "bad" but just from being mid alone, it took away so much.

The entire movie had the question "what is going on" and "who's doing this" hanging around it, so a weak answer, weakens that entire process.

Honestly, beyond the poster i don't even know what this one is. I've only played 13 sentinals, and persona 4 from them. I also watched a let's play of the original Cathrene on YouTube like 6 years ago, but that's about it.

Believe it or not I have actually never bought a single game on release. I don't even think I have ever bought a game on the year it came out!

It's not because I'm against doing so or anything, but I've pretty much always bought games on deals my whole life with very few exceptions. I'm also kind of broke so there is that too lol

Right now I'm playing salt and sanctuary, It's not a bad game, but I kind of hate it lol

It just has so many small annoying elements. Like being the only metrodivania I know of that doesn't have a map, or tying fast travel to having to place down limited statues in limited slots, in limited locations.

as weird as this probably is, for some reason I basically never recognize Japanese VAs. But there are exceptions, and Mamoru Miyano is actually one of them lol

Idk, I just never seem to fully appreciate voice acting when it comes to foreign languages. Like it's weird to say this, but when I don't actually understand them word by word, most VAs start sounding same-y to me.

but again Mamoru Miyano is definitely one of the exceptions, so that is definitely hype.

I'm at the "this will probably slap so I'm not going to watch trailers anymore" point with this one.

This was my first persona game, and second Atlus game (the first was 13 sentinals, which is one of my all time favourite things).

I own p5royal too, but I'm probably going to hold on playing that one for a while. I can imagine it being not the best idea to take on another 100 hour plus game right afterwards lol

I played it on playstation 4, and it was really fun. My cousin loved the game when he played it last year, and he had been telling me to play it since then, and I'm glad I did. I've heard the anime adaptation for p4 is also REALLY good, so I have that to look forward to as well!



Even from the trailer alone, if we count movies, this is probably one of, if not the strongest direction all year. I have yet to see a lot of the critical hits this year, so me saying oshi no ko is the best directed. isn't saying as much as you might think, but it DOES have extremely great directing, I'm sure of that much.



Oh my god, this looks incredible lmao

Will definitely watch this one soon.



It's a really, REALLY weird movie. I think it's best to watch it completely blind because of how absolutely unhinged and bonkers it is, but the basic premise is:

They haven't put it in cinemas here in Australia. At least not yet. I really hope they do, but I also wouldn't be surprised if they didn't, mainly due to the one hour long length.

The trailer looked incredible though, and I've been hearing nothing but praise on it, I'm really sad that I might not be able to see it on the big screen. I mean they are having sessions for the bocchi the rock recap movies but not this, like what the hell lol

This past 2 or so months I've been mainly just playing games in my free time. I basically burnt 2-3 weeks playing persona 4 golden 24/7. And I still gotta do a New game+ for a certain secret boss.

I finished spice and wolf and oshi no ko today.

Holy moly did this season of oshi no ko COOK. The directing was godly, probably the best we're going to get all year, and the man clearly had the budget to do whatever the hell he wanted! I really liked season 1, but for me this was a whole level above it.

Spice and wolf also probably gets the award for "dialogue of the year" if that's a category lol. The animation leaves a lot to desire, but the dialogue and music are just so fucking good you almost don't even care.

I also watched "the substance" in cinema the other day, which was also really good. Honestly, I've been getting too much great media recently. I need to watch some trashy dumpster fire before becoming completely spoiled lol

holy moly I had no idea this was a thing that existed. I'm hyped!



sorry I must have missed this message before, so I'll response to it now.

This just goes to show how good of an interpretive piece sonny boy is, cause I had a completely different interpretation for it. I think the clouds represented the dullness and mundaneness of the real world. They went through a multi-life time of an adventure and now that they're back it's just... normal.

as if nothing had even happened.

The world isn't reflecting Nagara's thoughts, the world is just what it used to be. Nozomi never changed the world, she just had a different viewpoint. One that lead her to believe there is a light, which.. there is. in the final episode, there is still a shot where she reaches into the sky to get the light.

A literal interpretation would be that her reaching to the sky, is using the symbol of her seeing the sun from behind the clouds, to show that she still sees the light. While from our or Nagara's pov... it's just cloudy. there is no sun to reach for.

so in a way, the light is just as present in the finale, but we have to look passed the clouds to see it. As Nozomi has been doing during the entire series. I mean she first saw said light in a setting that had a literally pitch black sky. Nothing has changed in that sense. Nozomi has just always been better than us at finding the light.

but again, sonny boy is partly interpretive by design, so there isn't really a "correct" answer here.

Sorry for the late reply, I've had a lot on my hands recently lol

tbh I have seen only like half of his works, so thankfully I still have a few titles to go through If I'm itching for more natsume goodness!

It had been a while since he worked on something though, so I am still waiting for a new title to be excited about.

There is a good chance that I wouldn't have read it anyway, at least not anytime soon. I still haven't finished a single manga that is more than like 25 chapters long lol

It is true that you can never grasp the feel of a long story with a youtube video, but Tale Foundry is probably the closest thing to making that happen.

Both his analysis and retelling (with analysis) videos are really great. As a self proclaimed creative, his videos are actually some of my favourites.

So while I obviously didn't get the full picture of the story, or got the entire emotional weight, I think you would be surprised by how much of it I did get.

I suggest watching one his videos: https://youtu.be/i44KnocYsno?si=bqfD8r5tDIfIokiC

this one is really great and the video that made me get into his channel. I promise is better than you expect.

And here's the homunculus video, you can be the judge of how much he does it justice: https://youtu.be/yS6QDg9vm-0?si=kT-ADYFoWTCOy7aN

The problem with that one is I know pretty much the entire story despite not having read it cause I watched a Tale Foundry video on it lol

I had heard great things about the manga, and from the poster alone I already love the aesthetic.



bro you already forgot about look back lol

I haven't finished girls band cry so don't quote me on it being AMAZING, but given how it's score only went higher as it went on, it probably stuck the landing. Dungeon meshi I do genuinely fully recommend though. probably more than everything else that I named.



Oh you will be extremely but pleasantly surprised with episode 1. It had so many cool directing choices that it has already surpassed s1 in terms of production imo

from minute 1 the director is going all out with making this season something special, for more reasons than just the story.
