here we go. please ignore the quality, but these are a few of the media I highly rate that I've sorted into groups based on shared qualities with other media. the idea is along the lines of "if you like this show because of y theme, then you may also like z show which shares said theme".

a few bonus recs that I couldn't fit on this list (because I either didn't want to give stuff away or because they fit into multiple different groups at once):

Link Click (donghua) (time travel, first season much more about individual stories, second season more plot-based. Two seasons out at present.)

Spy x Family (animanga) (yes, I know everyone knows about this one already, but it's one of those shows that strikes such a good balance between the humour and the drama. and the way that the manga arcs start to increasingly weave in social commentary is so well done. Ongoing series.)

Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju (animanga) (full disclosure, I haven't yet completed this hence not wanting to put it down yet, but so far it's really impressed me. It's a complete series.)

Full list of media (and some more tidbits) below the cut:

Serial Experiments Lain (anime)

Complete

Really fascinating dive into the Internet, identity, and conspiracy theories. Despite being released over two decades ago, it's somehow more relevant nowadays. That said, there is an underlying thread of tension and it's hard to piece together what's happening at times. Very surreal and heavy on the unreality. So, it's probably not for everyone (and it'll be fairly obvious early either way), but if that sounds like your jam, then go for it. (EDIT: Also, I just realised that I entirely forgot that this series also belongs in the ND-coded protag circle because Lain's whole deal has a lot of overlap with schizophrenia/psychosis in general.)

Jibaku Shonen Hanako-kun (animanga)

Ongoing

The anime is an incomplete adaptation for this (though it does have Ogata Megumi) and the manga goes much further. It's a monthly release and the art is gorgeous. It's centred around a school where urban legends come to life as the supernatural. I've seen some people say it's fairly light-hearted a series before, but I can't really say I agree, especially when it comes to the later chapters. It can play into particular anime tropes at times though.

Princess Tutu (anime)

Complete.

There is also a manga, but I've heard it's pretty different and I've not tried it so can't really comment. If you like ballet and European folktales then this is the show for you. It's... probably aimed at the lowest age range of all of my recs and it does show at times, but I'd point to it as an example of how just because a show is aimed at younger ages, that doesn't mean it has to look down on you. Anyway, it's neat seeing the protagonists interact with the concept of the story they themselves are a part of.

Revolutionary Girl Utena (anime)

Complete.

The manga for this is meant to be pretty different so keeping this rec to the anime. Obligatory "look up trigger warnings" if you think you may stumble into something you can't handle, because this show sure covers a lot of fairly dark topics. Still, it's pretty surreal and at times ridiculous so it's not all dark all the time. The premise is around a girl who wants to be a prince, who participates in duels for the hand of the 'rose bride'.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica (animanga)

Complete (og series)

The manga iirc is fairly similar, but the anime is really good in its presentation so would recommend anime over manga for sure. The soundtrack and the way it's directed both elevate the story massively. Anyway, twelve episode season, with a movie afterwards you can decide whether to proceed to or not. It's about what it takes to be a magical girl, and what is taken. I imagine most people nowadays know the big twists already but in case you don't, I'll just say that the foreshadowing in it is one of my favourite things. So much rewatch value.

The Locked Tomb (book series)

Ongoing. Three books out, with fourth expected to be final.

Speaking of foreshadowing, this series has so many levels of foreshadowing going on, I think it would take many rereads to catch it all. The first book in the series is a relatively standard murder mystery, but after that, the author immediately cashes in the good will earnt to become increasingly experimental. Each book therefore is pretty different genre-wise, despite being set in the same universe and progressing the same story. Anyway, I know this one isn't for everyone, but I'd say at the very least give Gideon a shot.

Orphan Black (Canadian drama)

Complete.

This is a co-production between a US and CA company but Wikipedia classes it as Canadian so okay let's do that. Okay. Orphan Black is about discovering you may be a scientific experiment and the questions inherent in that. In this case, it's about clones. The main actor has such range and she plays half the cast and somehow makes it work. I will say it takes her a couple of episodes sometimes to get the accents right (I took psychic damage occasionally), but once she's got it down she keeps it. This one is another genre blender, with different clones progressing different subplots. One of them off doing an investigation whilst another is trying desperately to live in a soap, etc.

Severance (US drama)

Season one complete, season two ambiguously in the works.

More science experimentation. This show is based on a premise wherein people can partition off parts of their brains so that their work selves are entirely independent of their non-work selves. The two selves have no shared memories, but they are in theory the same person. It brings up a lot of questions about nature vs nuture, along with commentary on religious cults and workplace rights.

Oddtaxi (anime)

Complete.

We follow a taxi driver through his daily life, picking up passengers, dropping them off, getting accidentally (or maybe--) involved with the local gang members. It's pretty chill, but as you go on you realise just how thoroughly everyone's lives are intertwined with each other. And there's a mystery or ten to be solved. If our driver guy can be bothered. This and Reset both fit into the incredibly small niche I like to call "character-based mystery show with social commentary set in a vehicle". Very catchy.

Reset (cdrama)

Completed

Time loop scenario where a pair of strangers are caught on a bus that keeps blowing up and have to try and figure out how to escape. I feel like the pace at which the audience figures out stuff is timed really well to whenabouts the characters figure out stuff, but there's a lot of foreshadowing I didn't realise until I rewatched a few episodes. Just, really solid mystery and character drama.

March comes in like a lion (animanga)

Ongoing (manga)

Full disclosure. I have only watched the anime of this and from some of what I've heard about the later parts of the manga it's likely to stay that way, but! The parts covered by the anime are something special. I grouped together this series with Skip and Loafer and Frieren because they're very... they're all about 'moving forwards, despite'. So, at the start of this series, the mc is pretty depressed, but as it goes on you get to see him slowly unfurl out of that. You get to see him make new connections, progress with shogi (aka, what the series is ostensibly about), and just generally let himself live again. It's a very wholesome anime without letting itself forget the darker aspects of life.

Skip and Loafer (animanga)

Ongoing (manga). Season one of anime complete.

This is a definite comfort show and has one of my favourite depictions of developing friendships (I want to say something here about the intersection of platonic and romantic but I'm not sure how to put it). This show/manga follows Mitsumi as she starts at a city school after growing up in a rural village. It has her meet new obstacles and new people and shows how they all influence each other. Overall, it's a fairly gentle story, but I think it pulls off heartwarming so well because it can also do heartwrenching.

Frieren (animanga)

Ongoing.

I may regret putting an ongoing anime here before it's even finished airing (staying anime-only for now personally). So far though, this is a show about grief, and living life beyond that. It's a show that could so easily be a tragedy but chooses to venture beyond instead. It follows Frieren (an elf with a long lifespan) as she realises that she hasn't really allowed herself to know people properly and decides to fix that. It's a fairly standard fantasy setting so it's hard to describe what's so appealing about it, but it's very intentional with its parallels, with putting the words of long dead characters in the mouths of those who never knew them. Very cyclical. The first four episodes released in one go, so if you're thinking of giving it a shot, I'd watch those four before deciding whether to drop.

Stranger (kdrama)

Two seasons out. Can be taken as complete at end of either season though still open for more.

So, it's a drama about prosecutors/corruption, a lot of the standard kdrama jazz. It has one of my favourite pairs of besties though and I love how many threads are woven through all levels. It's a show that's heavily plotty (the number of times you're forced to recalculate as you get more pieces is ridiculous but in a good way), but despite that, doesn't neglect the characters.

Mob Psycho 100 (animanga)

Completed.

An OP protagonist would rather focus on his non-psychic attributes. I tend to struggle with OP protagonists sometimes, but this show/manga deals with it well, because the point isn't actually *about* Mob's powers. It's more about how his powers are linked to his emotions. There are plenty of fights (and they're all incredibly well animated), but the tension isn't usually in "who will win", and I don't mean that in a bad way at all. Anyway, the show is for the most part a comedy (it does have some off-colour jokes at times unfortunately, though they're mostly relegated to specific episodes at least), but my favourite parts are always when you get to see the other side of things. This show also has Reigen, for whatever that's worth. (I hate the fact he's so well-written. Why couldn't he just be the meme and nothing else.)

Arcane (US animated)

Season one complete. Season two in the works.

You don't need League knowledge for this despite it being based off it. This (like a few of the others actually) is a three-act structure following Vi and Jinx as they grow up in the shadows of Piltover. Visually, it's a gorgeous series, and the mix of 3d and 2d works so well. Despite being only nine episodes long, it manages to fully develop scores of characters with their own interweaving subplots, all culminating with the finale. It's another one with social commentary, in this case, it's not particularly subtle, but it doesn't actually need to be. And it does the showing not just the telling so it works in tandem.

Blue Eye Samurai (US animated)

Season one complete.

And now we reach the revenge trio of shows. I will fully admit I started this series because I saw many a pretty gifset across my dash. And the aesthetics absolutely hold up. This is an Edo-era revenge quest by a samurai who has given up on happiness. It starts fairly tropey and by-the-book, but it pulls off the execution solidly and infuses a lot of symbolism into the main trio (especially Mizu, but Akemi gets plenty as Mizu's reflection). There is a decent amount of sex and graphic violence though and, given that the show deliberately conveys various characterisation points through them, they're not really skippable. Try not to wince at the pronunciation of Japanese words either. It's old-style English anime dub level a lot of the time when it comes to names/places, despite a lot of the setting itself being relatively well-researched from what I can tell. I guess it's just a disparity between the voice actors and the writers.

Nirvana in Fire (cdrama)

Complete. There is a season two but it's a next generation deal.

Terminally ill guy returns to the capital to get justice for a betrayal before his time is up. Despite how grim that sounds, the show itself has a much nicer balance between the light-hearted and the serious. It does chuck you right into the depths from the very start (I know a lot of people refer to charts for relationships for the first few episodes until they get the hang of it), but once you start to understand, you can really get the impact. How the previous generation has echoed onto the current generation. Also, the main character is Mei Changsu, one of my favourite schemers. He knows how to troll, even (or maybe especially?) as he's plotting someone's downfall.

The Glory (kdrama)

Complete.

The mc in this show (Moon Dong-eun) was bullied at highschool, to the extent she was suicidal. The show is about her revenge on the bullies, as she sets the pieces for their own flaws to fell them. I will say for this, that the first episode is imo the darkest in tone. The later episodes do still touch on darker topics (sexual assault, suicide again), but for the most part, the first episode is the darkest to help you understand why she's willing to go to the lengths she is. And yet, despite that, a line of hope runs through the show. There's a line early on about the solidarity between victims vs the solidarity between abusers and it's a real thesis statement for the whole show.

#not gonna chuck this in tags just because I don't want to spam them and with the number of series listed here it would definitely be spam #but feel free to reblog #also ha. I didn't even have many timeloops-related media this time.#me: ah yes I will add some little facts about some of the media.#also me: ....ah.#I feel like maybe I should've included trigun given the faith in humanity theme I accidentally stumbled into but I've still only seen 98 #so maybe later idk. if I put sel though I would probably rate trigun above it (tho trigun has more 90s shonen protag moments alas)

Tag 9 people you want to get to know better no <3 but please feel free to steal this and tag me in it!

Thank you @avisalix for the tag!

Three ships: I saw them come sailing in on Christmas Day in the morning Hmmm, let's see, what have I been vibing with recently? 3zun (Jin Guangyao/Lan Xichen/Nie Mingjue) from MDZS continues to fascinate me. On some level I am always rotating Lupin/Jigen (Lupin III) in my mind. Melia/Fiora (Xenoblade Chronicles 1) also delights me and tbh I can't truly imagine a postgame where they aren't together.

First ever ship: Ichigo Momomiya/Kish from Tokyo Mew Mew (the latter's name is also rendered Kisshu or—most accurately—Quiche, depending on which translation you read, but unfortunately for me ye olde Tokyopop dies hard). I shipped them bc Ichigo's token love interest was boring as hell in the original manga and also I was #not like the other girls and loved contrarianism (diagnosis: ace and annoying). I wanted to see the catgirl hero and the horrible little gremlin antihero KISS, goddammit (Yes I DID love Catra/Adora in the She-Ra reboot thanks for asking), and I remember losing my tiny shipper mind at Kish's big death scene in the final volume. I just realized that I never finished s1 of TMMN, I should do that.

Last song: “Soarele și Luna” by Pasha Parfeni. Another highlight from this morning's commute: The Cambodian Space Project's cover of Pan Ron's “I'm Unsatisfied.” My housemates have also been playing The Album by the Jonas Brothers nonstop and it's very pleasant.

Last movie: Not counting my Dark Crystal rewatch, it was Day of Anger (1967) on @girlfriendsofthegalaxy's ever-impeccable recommendation.

Currently reading: I'm half-reading (abandoning) a truly wild number of books right now, so let's talk fic instead. I just finished “Twilight on Owl Creek Bridge” (Star Wars by way of, you guessed it, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge) by @yellowocaballero and it blew my socks clean off, so I'm now neck-deep in their queer Artemis Fowl redux “The Great Gender Heist” and having the time of my life. I'm also still working on several Lupin III fics by @dandunn! You know that photo of a girl being handed bites of, like, pancakes or something on about 12 different forks? That's me with good fic rn.

Currently watching: The Tatami Galaxy with @venhediss, to kick off a larger (casual) watch of Masaaki Yuasa's creative output.

Currently consuming playing: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, though that might still count as consumption considering how voraciously I am digging into it. I love this game so much and I've barely even touched the plot so far.

Currently craving: The end of the workday (so I can go play more TotK). Some kind of soup or stew. Maybe a hug. A(nother) rare CD that will cost me an arm and a leg in international shipping. An English-subbed blu-ray release of Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju.

ANIME RECAP: una montagna di nuovi trailer

Arrivati anche date e periodi di debutto assieme ai video!

Tanto per citare il meme di Boris: così, de botto, senza senso. Sul serio, ragazzi, non ho più l’età per le raffiche improvvise di news e di trailer, in questo caso. Nel nuovo riassuntone, che ormai penso diventerà quasi periodico, vi porto ben nove nuovi video, tutti freschi di oggi, a parte l’ultimo che ho deciso di recuperare e proporre qua, per comodità.

Jiro Yakuin sperava di fare coppia con Shiori Sakurazaka, ma viene abbinato con l’esuberante Akari Watanabe, che invece sperava di finire con Minami Tenjin.

Le loro speranze sono doppiamente infrante quando proprio Shiori e Minami sono assegnati insieme. Così, a malincuore, decidono di cooperare per raggiungere la top ten della graduatoria, il che darebbe loro il diritto di scambiarsi i partner, se entrambe le coppie sono d'accordo. Dopo il primo bacio fra Jiro e Akari, però, le cose si fanno un po’ più complicate…

L’adattamento, targato STUDIO MOTHER (Arifureta: From a Detour to the World’s Strongest - Stagione 2), è diretto da Junichi Yamamoto (Armor Shop for Ladies & Gentlemen), dietro però la supervisione da parte di Takao Kato (To LOVE-Ru, Triage X).

#Gamefemerides Hace 9 años, llegó a América Muramasa Rebirth para @playstation Vita, con historias adicionales al original para el Wii de @nintendo , y visuales mejorados. Desarrollado por Vanillaware y publicado por @aksysgames en América. Muramasa se lleva a cabo en la época del periodo de Edo, en la isla principal de Japón, Honshu. Debido a la sed de poder del Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, se han iniciado conflictos por las espadas Demonio, espadas samurai que obligan a quienes las usan a matar a otros, antes de causar tragedia y locura a sí mismos. La historia sucede alrededor de dos protagonistas relacionados al conflicto - Momohime, una mujer que posee el espíritu de un ronin vengativo, Jinkuro Izuna; y Kisuke, un ninja amnésico huyendo de un crimen olvidado, que está tado a la tragedia que destruyó a la familia de Momohime. Esta versión de PS VITA incluye acceso a cuatro historias basados en el folklore japonés, lanzados bajo el título "Genroku Legends" (元禄怪奇譚 Genroku Kaikitan). #LegionGamerRD #ElGamingnosune #Videojuegos #Gaming #RetroGaming #RetroGamer #CulturaGaming #CulturaGamer #GamingHistory #HistoriaGaming #GamerDominicano #GamingPodcast #Podcast #AksysGames #Marvelous #MuramasaTheDemonBlade #MuramasaRebirth #PlayStation #PSVita #PSTV #Nintendo #Wii #JRPG #RPG #Beatemup #Plataformas https://www.instagram.com/p/CfOo7SdLib-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Spotlight: Oboro Muramasa (& Genroku Legends DLC)

Oboro Muramasa, or Muramasa: The Demon Blade is a fast-paced, side-scrolling beat-em-up centered in feudal Japan. In the base Wii game, players would pick one of the two protagonists: Momohime, a princess haunted by the soul of a great swordsman as she travels from east to west; and Kisuke, an amnesiac assassin following his previous employer from west to east. The Rebirth rerelease & retranslation on the PSVita also introduced the Genroku Legends DLC, providing 4 new characters with radically different playstyles to traverse the beautiful countrysides with.

While Odin Sphere was more of a critical darling, Muramasa was Vanillware’s first real brush with mainstream success as it released on one of Nintendo’s most popular consoles. In a lot of ways it mechanically delivered on Odin Sphere’s initial vision as well, observable in how, when working on the HD remake, the combat is much more fast-paced and combo-centered, which was Muramasa’s main draw. Unique to Muramasa however is that each character, including DLC, has different endings depending on certain requirements completed in game that help fill out the world and characters more. While this is slightly true for Odin Sphere as well, there’s a dubious canon-ness to Muramasa’s endings that feel more like a ‘pick your favorite telling’ rather than one being truer than another.

Our interest check is live for 2 more weeks! If you're interested in applying to our zine or preordering it, don't forget to let us know!

When reading a book or watching a series, have you :

a. Finish a book or a series, even when you dislike the mc until the end but love the story (What's the title?)

b. Finish a book or a series, even when you dislike the story but love the mc (what's the title?)

c Finish a book or a series, even when you dislike the mc and story but love the worldbuilding (what's the title?)

d. Finish a book or a series, even when you dislike the mc, story, worldbuilding but still finish it for whatever reason (what's the title?)

The thing about me is I will drop a series very easily, if it can't hold my attention I'll be usually just drop it and move on lol. A and C are automatically out because I'm a big character reader/watcher, so if I find the main character boring or annoying, it's not for me. Not that the main character needs to be my favorite, they often aren't, but this is the character that the reader spends the most time with and it's through their POV usually, I should find them likeable or interesting enough to continue to care about plot/worldbuilding/everything else. There are exceptions to this in the form of I grew up reading the same YA slop that everyone my age read, so looking back I completed a lot of series that weren't very good and had main characters I found annoying. Harry Potter, Divergent, Maximum Ride, Pendragon series, Cinder, none of these hold up unfortunately (main exceptions to this being PJO, Hunger Games, and the Uglies series <3).

For the second question, the only one that comes to mind is Legend of Korra. LOVE Korra, I think she's a really interesting avatar and her character journey is really great to follow, but the series does get hampered by convoluted romance plot lines that I didn't care about, production issues that greatly rushed the pacing in season 4, and I didn't really care about the plot by the end because it was so all over the place. I don't think Korra herself is an issue in the series though, she gets way too much shit.

The last scenario where I finish it without liking anything is usually when I've invested a lot of time and love into a series and then it just falls on it's face at the end. Voltron comes to mind instantly where I just hated everything about Season 7 and 8, but I'm on Seasons 7 and 8 so I might as well finish the damn thing. Same exact scenario with Game of Thrones (the tv show). Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu is a 10/10 series until the "twist" with the open ending, it was soooo unnecessary and like. It wasn't crashing and burning like Voltron and GOT, it just abruptly slaps you in the face with it before leaving lmao. So maybe it doesn't fit because I DO love everything else about it, but this ending would color how I view the series on a reread, and that sucks. Other series like this would be Blue Flag, Death Note, Attack on Titan (kind of, the series is mostly fine I just got really grossed out with the antisemitism in season 4), The Promised Neverland season 2, Darling in the Franxx (idk why i started let alone completed this), Eragon series, Allegiant (looking back I hate the entire Divergent series, but this is the first time I remember finishing a series and hating the ending). There are probably more than this as well lol.

【VOCALOID】Ohedo Julia Night ft. Hatsune Miku and Fukase【English Cover】

It is as it says. Gonna be quick about this so that I can finally get to reblogging stuff and posting art, but in general I’m pretty proud of these lyrics. I think I preserved a good chunk of the original flavor in the chorus and they flow nicely, but who knows I haven’t gotten much feedback. Read more for translyrics.

Original song Ohedo Julia Night by Mitchie M - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3yyY...

Translyrics by Friendlily

Yo, Hatsune!

One, two—One, two, three, go!

Hey, watch out! Break it down, now

See the best of the bubble world

Shop out the night—no buts, guys

A limited-sale-party-time!

Only place with the kon-chiki beat

Ohedo 1690

Hurry up, hit the dance floor and we’ll go!

The time is Genroku

And this growing bubble’s yet to pop

A constant stream of cash

Freedom to keep spending it nonstop

Getting high and hyped

As the markets rise

Shiba no Ura is having us raving

かっぽれーかっぽれ！

Gonna party hard

Long after it’s dark

Ah, sorry, it gets inside our heads!

Ohedo Julia Night Show

Most legendary site as they go!

They’ll know when they see queen of the night

The instinctive flare

The smallest is there

At the sunlight’s glare

Scattered everywhere!

Ohedo Julia Night Show

DJ!

T-99 (ninety nine) is not gonna slow!

Anastasia!

Like in your dreams, you’re free to dance away

Come on

Away you’ll go

Away from those pains

All of the ladies hold

VIP status in their hands

Walk to the podium

Ready to claim those of your demands

Luxury silk cloth

Gorgeous clothes, top-notch

Like a shining diamond, I’m a disco queen

かっぽれーかっぽれ！

Maybe it’s extreme

But to the police

Please? The style gets inside our heads!

Ohedo Julia Night Show

The entire era is aglow!

Everyone knows when they see beauty

Like a shining star

Just the faintest mark

Hiding in the dark

And it’s just the start!

Ohedo Julia Night Show

DJ!

TR-909 keeps up the drum roll

Not 808!

Keep on waving those flowing, feathered fans

Oh yeah!

Away it blows

At the goddess’ hand

Ohedo—

Here we go!

Come at witching hours for a show

Featuring Matsuo Bashou

Follow the road going deeper

Disregard the ninja rumour

Instead, behold the legend of haiku

Five, seven, five—I wanna hear you!

Bodycon women

Lounging across summer lawns

But only in dreams

Ohedo Julia Night Show

Most legendary site as they go!

They’ll know when they see queen of the night

The instinctive flare

At the sunlight’s glare

Join us guys!

Ohedo Julia Night Show
