What I'm currently watching, reading, playing, or listening to
TV
- Future Card Buddyfight X (Episode 44/60)
- This might be my favorite Buddyfight season yet. Initially I felt Gao's characterization was a little off, but the further it goes, the more I believe that kid WOULD free someone like Batzz. Gao would absolutely see Batzz and go,
I can fix him.
AND HE'S RIGHT IS THE CRAZY PART. - Kamen Rider Gavv
- Kamen Rider is knocking it out of the park again this year. I don't think we've had a bad year since Geats started, really. I love basically every character in this show. My one change I'd make is... needs more women. It's not necessarily that Sachika needs to be a Kamen Rider, but I think being the first Reiwa-era Kamen Rider to NOT have a woman pick up a belt is a bad look. Is there any real reason Rakia couldn't be a woman? I don't think so.
- Number 1 Sentai Gozyuger
- A number of friends have fallen off this one, but I'm still going strong. The beginning of the show is kind of weak in terms of characterization for the team, but every week now they say something or think something or do something that just drives me crazy. Hoeru is a truly miserable person in ways that FASCINATE me. I'm so glad his doggy behavior is more than just a bit he does. The others kind of see him as this lost puppy too. They just are incapable of hating him.
We'd be sad if our dog went missing.
That line singlehandedly rewired my brain chemistry. - Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters (Rewatch, Episode 2/52)
- Appmon is probably my favorite digimon season, but I haven't watched it all the way through since it first aired, so I'm hankering to come back to it and see if it still holds up.
GAMES
- Fate/Stay Night -Remastered-: Heaven's Feel (Day 6)
- I'm in the final stretch of Fate/Stay Night. I understand why this is such a classic and beloved visual novel now, even if some parts hold up worse than I expected them to. Only 6 days in, Heaven's Feel has already blown me out of the water. It takes everything I knew and learned from Fate and UBW and uses those expectations to FREAK ME THE FUCK OUT.
- The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy (Dawg, I don't know how to categorize my progress in this game.)
- Truly incredible game so far. It was a really fascinating decision to basically TELL AN ENTIRE STORY before the
true game
begins. Very Ushikoshi in that way. Most of the things I like about Ushikoshi and Kodaka's works are present in Hundred Line. I can't wait to REALLY dig into the meat of this game's themes and what not once I've played more of it. (has already played over 100 hours of Hundred Line...) - Melty Blood: Type Lumina
- The game that got me involved with the FGC again. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have met some of the friends I have now. I'm enjoying it a lot. It's super snappy and responsibe. The aerial footsies is something truly unique to this game. Jumping in is SO STRONG. Most importantly of all, I love Arcuied.
