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

it’d be great if they could do 32 bit emulation

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

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

they’re bluffing hold fast

that’s a lie, i don’t always feel this way. but i’ve always wanted to feel included or feel like i belong in a crowd, and i just don’t. i always feel like an odd one out. i don’t think it’ll ever really change. i’m still just the same nervous awkward and uncomfortable teenager i was 10 years ago
