Finished rewatching BoJack Horseman and it was rough knowing what's coming, but really fantastic show overall. They really manage to tie all of the elements of the story and characters up nicely by the end. If you've never watched, I highly recommend it

Watched I Want to Eat Your Pancreas for the first time and it's a really good movie, but emotionally it didn't have the same weight as Your Lie in April even though I think there are things it did better

Rewatched Spirited Away for the first time ever after maybe 15 years? I really had forgotten most of the movie so it was like watching for the first time again, and I stand by my decision to put it in S tier. While it's not my favorite Ghibli movie, I think it has a lot of standout elements

With the exception of The Red Turtle I have now seen all of the #Ghibli movies! Here is my tier list for now, note each tier is just release order. I could see some things moving up or down but I feel pretty good about this as it stands.

Decided to try and watch the last season of Mythic Quest and I just already dislike the direction they've taken with the first episode. Season 3 already wasn't that great, and I just can't see myself finishing the show since it's clear there's a reason this was canceled.

It's easy as a PC gamer to be a fan of Valve and Steam. As an owner of a Steam Deck I see a future of easy console-like gaming with the freedom of PC like Valve sought to bring to market over a decade ago. The only question is if they can prove they were right with this new attempt
Valve had a bunch of announcements today and Nick had some thoughts. Mainly that Valve was right all along.

Finished (but not quite 100%'d) Legends Z-A today and wrote up my thoughts. The short version is this game is really good, and I hope the next Legends game continues this trend and that perhaps some of these changes also make their way to the mainline games.
The Future of Pokemon is Legends
Pokemon Legends Z-A delivers one of the best games in the series through changes to battling as well as a deeper story with a great cast.

I still don't feel like I'm that far into Legends Z-A but that's because I've been doing lots of side content. I think this game has really solidified for me that, even if there are flaws, I vastly prefer what they're trying with these games compared to the mainline ones.

Spent a lot of my weekend and staying up late on a Monday night playing through Donkey Kong Bananza, here's my thoughts!
Donkey Kong Bananza
Donkey Kong Bananza provides a game that should appeal to fans of the series and newcomers with its smashing gameplay.

Love how Nintendo did something cool by introducing virtual game cards, allowing you to share DLC with people on a family plan, then ruined it by requiring Switches to be close to each other. Like with password sharing, plenty of reasons to not be near your family/household for extended periods

Witch Watch has wrapped up after running for 2 cours, and in that time it's certainly secured a spot as one of the best anime of the year in my opinion. Looking forward to its second season.
Witch Watch
Witch Watch is a new romcom manga adaptation that manages to deliver some great laughs as a witch continues her training.

It might not be Nichijou, a show that if you like you've probably seen multiple times and grown to love even more. But CITY provides some great laughs and a simple message that every day can be fun
It’s Not Nichijou: CITY The Animation
CITY naturally draws comparison to Nichijou that might make it harder to enjoy, but it is a great show anyways.
