Halo: CE (Anniversary Edition)

Feels like a Citizen Kane type game where it’s undeniably impressive for its time but a bit hard to see the merit if you’re new to it. Still, if I played this back in the 2000’s it probably would’ve completely rewired the way I thought about games lol

7/10

Misu Misou / Liverleaf (3 vol)

Brutal & horrific revenge story by the author behind the far more pleasant Hi Score Girl. It’s not exactly good, lol — it, like the previous title, is excessively cruel & disturbing. It’s mercifully short, though! I could see the appeal for some, but idgi.

3.5/10

anything to the focus characters’ stories and when the series ends it does so with a lot of loose ends that in hindsight feel like a waste of time. In general, though, if you’re looking for a lot of brutal Ichi the Killer level violence, this is for you. Otherwise, pass

4.5/10

Shigurui (15 vol)

My hatred for “underrated” seinen is justified yet again! I think parts of this are good, the art is crazy good, but it’s excessively cruel and while I feel like the author adapting one chapter of a larger book is completely fine he also throws in some side stories that don’t add

The Piano Teacher

i was gonna say something about “im never watching this again” but Generally speaking I don’t watch films twice unless they’re comfort food and this is like discomfort food

8/10

Bonnouji (3 vol)

Short & sweet and surprisingly nuanced & realistic romance series about two dorks in their late twenties. Nothing crazy, but enjoyable!

8/10

naoki urasawa draws himself in such a cute way i really love this guy

Higurashi: When They Cry Ch. 4

It’s crazy how unpredictable this series continues to be despite it being such a long one. This is definitely the least crazy chapter, but it still packs a punch. Answer arcs up next!

8/10

Delicious in Dungeon (Season 1, 24 eps)

So creative, so funny, so good. Spiritual successor to Toriko? (not really, it’s much better) Love all of these characters so much and I was so sad when I ran out of episodes.

9.5/10

Good

Whenever people are like “dude it’s just fiction. it’s just the rules of a story, you’re taking it too seriously” all I think about are interactions like this.

Frieren at best is reckless and irresponsible with its messaging, and at worst is outright racist lol

dude whey are they announcing a new smash character at this theater

it’s all very silly but it kinda rules lol. unfortunately the online scans end at chapter 16 so i’ll have to pick up the english releases to continue it, but it’s very enjoyable albeit very unserious lol

I’m reading a manga adaption of Les Miserables and it’s kind of rules how they basically just turned Jean Valjean into Guts for the first few chapters lmfao
