Media

I think this could be a fun place to put things I've seen, or something. I see other folks doing it, seems fun.


Media I have consumed (ever)

Neon Genesis Evangelion

The start felt slow, then by the end things were screaming past me so fast I had no clue... probably need a rewatch or someone to painfully explain it to me

Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro

hmm

Angel Beats!

sad, have probably watched this like four times. early anime for me

Horimiya

I'm a sucker for romances

Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan

quite funny, iirc

Summer Wars

I love the feeling of summer this gives, plus the sort of cyber-warfare though portrayed in a silly manner

Mieruko-chan

spooky

Summer Time Rendering

wow, on the edge of my seat, like the whole time

Elfen Lied

edgy. I had a time where anime meant pushing that edginess boundary. If there's a deeper point to this show, I don't know what it is.

Black Lagoon

sweary and edgy -- this is also from that edginess pushing time. Still don't know the meaning if there is one, but it's a good time lol

RE Zero

such suffering, very compelling show

Code Geass

I think I'm a sucker for "guy thinks really hard and things just happen" kinds of shows? Though Death Note, I quit halfway through after spoiling by watching the last episode lol

From the New World

scary, that's really it. Also a bit confusing at times

Overlord

hmm

Kiki's Delivery Service

only anime we ever watched as young'ns, and that was a good time. Goes all over and I remember nothing?

Psycho Pass

I love all the tech, the questions, the philosophy, and also I have a lot of reading to do

Look Back

:(

Ruri Rocks

now I want to go hunting for rocks. Any suggestions? we don't have right-to-roam IIRC... which is a bummer?

The Demon-Haunted World

hmm

God's Problem

have read a fair few from Ehrman, and the historical critical conversation is such an under-discussed concept. You go to church and hear it's one voice, one meaning, one story, internally cohesive. And yet, there are shortcomings still. This book is not about that specifically.

Toradora

did I mention I like romances

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom

more edginess?

Why Americans Hate Welfare

quite topical, I imagine

Mans' Search for Meaning

folks say it's a good book. SO far, it sounds bleak

K

Can't remember this show, but it sticks in my soul

Welcome to the NHK

hmm

It Didn't Start With You

Might have a point, but one piece is absolute BS -- early in the book, the author relates a man who has had trouble falling asleep for decades because he's worried he won't wake up. Well, we find out (with him, present day) that his uncle froze to death 30 years ago... so like, you're to believe that this is super duper potent enough that somehow someone he cannot be genetically related to, and had no knowledge of at all, was "encoded"(?) by actions that his family took while raising him... seems like malarkey to me.

Ouran High School Host Club

hmm

Jormungand

hmm

Canaan

hmm

Penguin Highway

hmm

Fullmetal Alchemist
