1) Gurren Lagann The Movie: The Lights In The Sky Are Stars
Absolutely fucking fantastic, most of it& #39;s just a standard recap, but the entire climax is just the studio flexing and it& #39;s worth watching for that alone.
They also show Nia& #39;s nipples which is funny.

2) FLCL
Really liked this for the most part, and Haruko is absolutely fantastic, but nothing really stood out to me and I just didn& #39;t get much out of it on a personal level. Can definitely see myself liking it more with a rewatch though, and I& #39;m glad I watched it.

3) The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Nothing special, but it didn& #39;t really need to be, and it& #39;s a pretty consistently good time with a cute romance. Really dug the last third especially, and Makoto carries the entire feature singlehandedly.
It made me smile a lot and that rules.

4) Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Definitely the film from the original trilogy that I& #39;m the least fond of, but the actual completely bizarre performances make it a lot of fun, and the climax is genuinely great, with some great acting from Hamill.

5) Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair (replay)
Enjoyed this one a lot more on a second playthrough, especially the ending and its message. I still have my issues and think it has some big pacing issues, but the game& #39;s strengths easily outweigh its weaknesses for me.

6) Billy Bat
The start was a little rough but it was well worth pushing past it, this is one of the most bizarre but emotional stories I& #39;ve ever experienced, and it sticks the landing almost effortlessly.

7) MUSHI-SHI
Not usually a fan of episodic anime, but this one hooked me from the start and I honestly can& #39;t say I dislike even one episode. The writing is great, Ginko is a lovely protagonist, and the production itself is fantastic, with some great direction and sound design.

Honestly didn& #39;t expect much going into this, but Gyllenhaal& #39;s performance instantly hooked me, and the film is a complete descent into insanity that had me engaged from beginning to end. Real glad I gave it a shot.

9) The Dark Crystal
Started a tad slow, but I enjoyed my time with this a lot. The characters are fun, the puppets are fucking amazing, and it& #39;s just a really solid experience all around. Can definitely see myself rewatching it down the line and enjoying it even more.

10) Sonic the Hedgehog (1993 comic miniseries)
Fun start to the comic, even if it& #39;s pretty short and most of the designs aren& #39;t very good at this point.

11) K-ON!
Honestly, out of the few SoL shows that I& #39;ve bothered to watch, this is one of 2 that really managed to hook me. The cast carries this show on their shoulders, and all of em are lovable and have great dynamics with the others.
Glad I saw this at this point in my life.

I& #39;m not sure how to phrase my thoughts on this, but probably the closest I can get is that there is a deep fundamental part of me that refuses to accept this came out over 20 years ago.

Nothing but kino, Nisio Isin& #39;s prose is just as lively, infuriatingly self-indulgent and pace breaking as his dialogue, and I love it so much. Plus I actually think Araragi is more well developed here, with some neat monologues cut from the anime

Incredibly well shot with some fantastic performances, I was really invested in the plot this time around, and K was a really compelling protagonist and I adored the twist towards the end of the film. Thoroughly enjoyed it, my expectations were blown away.

18) Nier Gestalt
This is one of the most mundane to play games I& #39;ve ever gone through, and I probably would have dropped it if not for the absolutely fucking stunning cast, performances, story and score. Honestly cannot recommend it enough, I& #39;m still crying

Still cool movies but I feel like the length and choices in stuff that got cut lessens the impact of a lot of it, especially in regards to Araragi& #39;s character and how he suffers through the whole plot. The final speech is still perfect though

Worst season of the show by far but the dialogue is some of the best series wide and I have a soft spot for Tsukihi Phoenix
Also Kaiki and Senjougahara have some great stuff in this, and Ononoki/Kagenui getting introduced is neat

24) Nekomonogatari Black (Anime)
Forgot how good this arc is, it definitely marks a turning point in Monogatari& #39;s tone towards darker stories, and both Hanekawa and Araragi get some really interesting development. Also makes Bake and Hanekawa& #39;s character there a lot more tragic

Lovely little ending to Kanbaru& #39;s arc, and one of the best arcts at conveying Monogatari& #39;s overarching message of facing reality and being an active force in your life rather than rotting away in apathy.

27) Dorohedoro
Unfortunately has a bit of a slump in quality during the second third, but the rest of the manga is fantastic, with some of the most distinct style and writing I& #39;ve seen in anything. Definitely worth giving a shot for that alone, it& #39;s a real fun ride

Also has Koyasu so it can& #39;t be bad

Cute show, although I think the first season is kind of dull until the final few episodes. Second season is a lot better though and the film is so incredibly stupid it became immensely entertaining. Fun time!

Fun show with a lot of comfy SoL and a really good ending. Definitely nice having some downtime for the characters to just bounce off of each other, it& #39;s a really fun time

Easily my favourite in the series since 0, it& #39;s got some really good character writing although the actual plotting and some of the new Tojo characters admittedly feel pretty rushed. Has some high highs though and explores Kiryu as a character pretty well

Fun movie but it& #39;a carried hard by Merlin, when he& #39;s not on-screen it& #39;s nowhere near as entertaining
Alos isn& #39;t that visually interesting but it& #39;s not bland enough to be a major issue or anything

Despite a bit of a lull in the middle with a lot of episodes that feel like filler, this is a really fun show with some great character work with Amuro and Char. The last 10 episodes are really engaging & the climax is superb. Great start to the franchise.
