Media Thread 2026!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Previous year below!)

1) Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake I didn't know what I was getting myself into but it was a great first experience with the franchise. I love the progression in this game and the way you built your characters up was very satisfying. Anyways fuck Baramos lmfao.

2) BanG Dream! best band anime ever fucking made 2/10

3) s-CRY-ed Worlds biggest instigator meets worlds most revengeful guy ever. Chaos ensues. I expected no less from this show, it has your classic Taniguchi insanity to it. Anyways, Straight Cougar is the greatest of all time.

4) BanG Dream! 2nd Season Its night and day how much the quality increased from season one. I think the switch to cgi was a net positive and it made the show look better and move a lot more. The writing was also a lot better, things were actually happening in this season.

5) SANDA This anime is really fucking good at making you uncomfortable. To be able to tie in such a wacky premise with that kind of atmosphere is crazy and I really hope they adapt the rest of the manga.

6) Dragon Quest I HD-2D Remake The combat in this game was way more enjoyable than I expected and the rune system in this game is really fun with how it allows you to build literal nukes against bosses. Also Princess Gwaelin might be the most down bad character in the universe.

7) Revue Starlight "THIS IS THE STAGE THAT I HAVE BEEN LONGING TO SEE! I UNDERSTAND!"

8) Revue Starlight Specials Karen Aijo baseball arc

9) Revue Starlight: The Movie Hikari does whatever it takes to get Karen to lock the fuck in.

10) Kaiji - Ultimate Survivor This fucking guy should have called it quits HOURS ago but he's STILL HERE

11) BanG Dream! FILM LIVE Goblin sighting

12) Kaiji - Against All Rules Guy does whatever it takes to stop Kaiji's balls from going in his hole

13) Angel's Egg Really is a lot to think about. I cant really describe what I watched with words, especially not at this current moment but its a really interesting film.

14) The Citadel The art direction on this game goes nuts, I love the designs of the enemies and angels. All the mechanics and guns introduced are really fun and despite from a few crashes (maybe more than that) I had a great time with it. Looking forward to Beyond Citadel

15) Boogiepop in the Mirror: Pandora Sometimes all you want is an excuse to connect with people. And what a massive excuse this is. A weapon, a lie, and predictions of the future that get 6 kids wrapped up in a world ending scenario. What a great read, I'll miss this group a lot

16) Boogiepop Overdrive: The King of Distortion In the end, he was not evil nor an enemy of the world. The only enemy he had was his own lingering regrets, something he gave others the chance to sort out, but ironically, never himself. I feel really bad for Shiro man...

17) Beyond Citadel Basically everything The Citadel did but way more and amped up to 11. The game runs a ton better than it too. The art is consistently really good and my god that storyline is the most insane thing i played through this year so far.

18) Boogiepop at Dawn Most insane prequel I have ever read with probably one of the most interesting situations I've seen with the Towa agents. Nagi is absolutely cracked out of her mind how does she do it.

19) Boogiepop Phantom Really interesting direction they went with, having it being mainly influenced by at dawn and and others (especially the stuff with echo's beam) Its probably the most faithful anime we'll have in this franchise ever, even if its a non-cannon spinoff.

20) Boogiepop Missing: The Peppermint Wizard Tosuke just wanted to make ice cream... It feels like the novel kinda ended at the half way point, and the rest is like the aftermath. Its really sick to see the perspective change of it all and how people react to what happened.

21) BanG Dream! 3rd Season Yukina ragebaits CHU2 so hard her band almost falls apart

22) The Idol Master This anime will remind you every other episode that "Yes, Chihaya's life is still fucking horrible"

23) MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY The Sorcery of Nymph Circe Its been two hours since I watched this movie and I already want to watch it again.

24) Throne of Blood The trees were in fact moving

25) Saya no Uta - The Song of Saya The depraved lengths people will go to have some kind of connection with another person, even if it means destroying the world in the process. For its length its a very interesting visual novel, I especially love how it does its horror.

26) Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake Girl's kingdom gets torn down and she instantly turns into a dog

27) High and Low Probably one of the most visually insane movies I have ever seen. The ending shot will be stuck in my head for the rest of my life.

28) Ran They fucked his shit up real bad holy fuck

29) Seven Samurai Giving the goofiest guy the hardest final scene ever. Kikuchiyo is the greatest of all time.

30) Kagemusha I understand him man if I was forced into a role like that I would be tweaking too

31) Stray Dog Don't ever get your gun snatched dawg evil shit happens

32) Dragon Ball What more can I say, its the godfather of modern shonen. What a fun ride it is though, Toriyama has a lot of really good ideas and his humor can hit really hard at times. "See ya soon"

33) Infinite Ryvius Airs Blue should be the next president of the united states

34) Joshiraku Good artstyle, tons of really fluid looking cuts and some funny bits. Unfortunately I was watching this and reading zetsubou sensei at around the same time and Kumeta was just better in SZS.

35) Katanagatari Nisioisin is a fucking god at subverting expectations man This shit still makes me tear up...

36) RahXephon Ayato if you aint gonna fucking play pass that damn controller man

37) Patlabor EZY File 1 Pretty ok start, its just the usual patlabor shenanigans and I'm always up to see more of that. Also the Type Zero shows up so its awesome

38) The Red Spectacles Probably the best Oshii movie I have seen. I absolutely love the direction it takes and Oshii's comedy is really fucking good. Koichi is wacky as fuck and thats a good thing.

39) Stray Dog: Kerberos Panzer Cops A really slow movie in a good way. I love Inui's and Koichi's dynamic a lot.

40) Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade Some people cant live without being told what to do. Even if it looks like they are following their own orders, they aren't.

41) JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 1: Phantom Blood Better than the anime but like still just an ok start. Araki is a really fucking good artist though.

42) Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei Kumeta is a fucking genius man, what an absolutely insane twist of an ending. The fact that he even told shaft what to put in the openings before the manga even ended is crazy. "Which Kafka are you?"

43) LABYRINTH Don't crack your phone or you'll end up teaching drift fortnite how to fight the Aquarion

44) Zanmataisei Demonbane: Kishin Taidou (Me thinking really hard) I wonder who Nyala could possibly be

45) Kamen Rider ZEZTZ Its honestly the most Takahashi show ever and like at least its better than geats. Zero and Sieg are the funniest characters ever though.

46) Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods Man I fucking love Beerus

47) Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' A friend sent me Mori Calliope art during this movie and It was kinda just more interesting then whatever the fuck was going on here.

48) BanG Dream! YUME∞MITA This anime isn't realistic enough I haven't seen Viola drop a twitter thread on Arale once this entire season.
