18. Resident Evil Requiem
3/8
It's a fun game. While I do think it's more fun to play as Leon, Grace's segments felt better designed than Leon's. I feel like a lot Leon's segments kind of drag on, especially towards the end, while Grace's segments always felt right.
17. Cosmic Princess Kaguya! (rewatch)
2/27
Everyone who said this is better on a rewatch was right. I really liked how much the entire movie is recontextualized on a rewatch. I really need to get around to reading the novelization. If I ever do I'll probably end up rewatching this movie again.
16. Poppy Playtime Chapter 1
2/15
Counting this as completed because, even though I wasn't the one with the controller, my friends and I were working together to solve the puzzles & advance through the game. I guess it was an okay half an hour of puzzle solving though the jump scares were annoying.
15. I Love Amy
2/13
I finished the main story years ago, but I never got around to reading the epilogue and extra chapters. This is probably the most functional relationship I have ever seen any yandere in and it actually makes sense. It just works! It's one of the best yandere romcoms out there.
14. How I Lose Bets With My Sadistic Gifted Childhood Friend and She Steals All of My Firsts
2/13
This is okay. I think my biggest issue with this is that it feels very short and that it could have been more introspective. It could have been really good. Maybe the light novel is better.
13. My Girlfriend Is Devilishly Sweet
2/8
This was a cute & funny manga. I had a blast reading this. I wish it was 1 or 2 volumes longer. I don't really think it had anything missing or that could have been expanded upon. I just wanted to see more of these two being silly & their lives together.
Adachi to Shimamura 🌻
12. Mobile Suit GUNDAM Iron Blooded Orphans 2
2/1
IBO has been such a mixed bag for me. There's a lot about IBO I think is really cool & interesting, but there's also a lot I don't like about IBO. At least there's a lot to think about. Overall, I did have good time & enjoyed my time with this show.
11. Cosmic Princess Kaguya!
1/31
It's an emotional & lively blend of fantasy, sci-fi, VR, & JP internet culture. I love the bombastic set pieces, the chaotic cohabitation bits, & the melancholic moments. It has become my favorite take on The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter & Kaguya herself. I want more!
10. Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: A lonely dragon wants to be loved
1/29
It's a really cute movie. This might have been the strongest arc from the anime.
9. BanG Dream! S1
1/26
Decided to watch this because I love MyGO and Ave Mujica. This is probably the most Love Live inspired anime I've watched despite not being about idols. I had fun watching this. I really like Kasumi and Arisa. Kasumi is such an unhinged character and I'm weak to tsunderes.
8. This Monster Wants to Eat Me
1/25
It's a decent adaptation of the manga. I do really like the voice work for this, but that may be my huge bias for Ueda, Ishikawa, and Ai Fairouz.
7. Kimi to Idol Precure♪
1/24
There's a lot that could be said about how little this show actually does. There's way too much actually. There's very little that could said about what this actually does & decides to commit to. It's been a long time since I watched such a creatively bankrupt show.
6. Whisper Me a Love Song
1/21
Easily one of the biggest anime production disasters of all time. You can tell the animators were trying to save whatever they could, but there's only so much you can do with heinous storyboarding while being extremely short staffed with terrible communication.
5. Mobile Suit SD Gundam's Counterattack
1/20
I guess some of the first short was kinda funny.
4. Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn-
1/19
I did not get interested in what's going on with this Holy Grail War, but at least I have Gilgamesh and Enkidu yaoi(?) to look forward to this season.
3. Final Fantasy XVI
1/12
I really liked the main cast, side characters, side quests, music, & the DLC boss fights. I really liked the main story too minus the Odin parts. It's, for the most part, a really good game. While I do have my issues with FFXVI, I really don't get the hate this game gets.
2. SPY x FAMILY Season 3
1/1
This season had some of the more interesting episodes and some of the more funny episodes. It's not exactly a huge step up from previous seasons, but it does give me some hope that the series doesn't ever lose its steam.
Gonna try keeping up a thread again this year. Here's to hoping I don't do the usual "writing small write-ups weeks after completing something" again.
1. Shuumatsu Touring
1/1
Fairly easy to understand without subs and decent JP listening practice. It's also a decent post-apocalyptic travel anime.
My favorite things from last year. I'm kind of cheating with one of them but I love it more than most things on here. Overall a pretty good year. FFXVI might have been on here somewhere if I managed to finish it last year.

100. There's No Freaking Way I'll Be Your Lover! Unless… ~Next Shine~
December 31
Fucked up how this is the one yuri (excluding G-Witch) that gets more than one cour and might even get even more episodes. Well, as silly as this series is, I enjoy it and would not mind it getting more episodes.
99. PVP CIVILIZATION 1
December 31
Not quite as good as Parkour Civilization, but still was still a lot of fun.
98. Yuri is Taboo to a Yuri Otaku
December 30
This is probably not the last of a couple of manga I put off finishing when I was only a few chapters away from finishing them. I don't really have to say about this one either. It was okay.
97. Fuzoroi no Renri
December 30
Gonna miss these weirdos. It's been some wack 8 years with these manga and it's hard to think it's over (for now). I'll especially miss the delinquent and martial artist couple the most.
96. Rainbows After Storms
December 30
There's not a lot of romance manga out there about characters already in a relationship seriously thinking about their future together. There should be more romcom manga like this.
95. How Do I Turn My Best Friend Into My Girlfriend?
December 30
It was just okay. There's some funny gags in here. I don't really have a lot to say about this one.
94. The Anemone Feels the Heat
December 30
It went on a bit longer than I feel it should have, but it was pretty good before losing some of its steam. I like how proactive Mashiro is. Girl really knows what she wants.
93. GINTAMA - Mr. Ginpachi's Zany Class
December 22
It's certainly what a Gintama high school AU would be like. It was at least kind of fun watching these bozos be in something new. I also just really like hearing Sugita say bullshit.
