Time for a "the media of all time" thread.Basically, this will be a thread of whatever I've watched/played/listened to, whether I liked it and whether or not I'd recommend it.These existed on the birdsite but I always forgot to make them there since there was no appropriate time for them. Given that I think timeliness is silly, this is just gonna be da media seen thread.

Before I start in earnest, I think I should probably also point out that I have an anilist account where I just track what I'm watching in terms of anime (albeit rather sporadically): https://anilist.co/user/noirscape/That one is just a watch tracker though, don't put too much value on it.

So with that...1. Dead LeavesHonestly, Imaishi's weakest outing. Dead Leaves has the unfortunate case where it has everything that makes Imaishi's work awesome but it's all just... too vestigial and done better later. The artstyle is absolutely a big draw, but the characters are too rushed through to really give me the time to care for them. Animation is vibrant yet doesn't have the same impact as his later shows (given Imaishi also worked on REDLINE as a key animator, that movie does basically this exact same style but better). The music is frankly kinda forgettable and it really undercuts the otherwise explosive action scenes.Do not recommend unless you really are deeply into Imaishi's work.

2) VA-11 HALL-A Sapphic Pussy RhapsodyOk that's a title. A good one. Attached to a pretty good short story. If you've played VA-11 HALL-A, go read this. If you haven't played VA-11 HALL-A... go play VA-11 HALL-A? I unfortunately had to stop my daily read-through this year cuz I came down with a cold but y'know, that story will always hold up. An amazing companion piece to just an amazing game.Don't want to spoil much about this one, just... go read it! Sukeban does fun stuff. This is part of that fun stuff.Go read it here: https://sukebangames.itch.io/va11halla-sapphic-pussy-rhapsody

3. Pokemon Scarlet & Violet (played Violet)Not done with these games yet, but they're a return to form after the disaster that was Sword & Shield. Ran in the occasional camera bug, but the gameplay is solid, which is what matters in the end.

4. Cyberpunk: EdgerunnersSecond rewatch, probably won't be the last. What can I say really... Edgerunners was amazing the first time I watched it last year. Watching it again, 6 months later? Yeah this show still upholds the usual marks of quality you come to expect from Trigger - breakneck pace, animation that puts most anime to shame and a lovable cast that hits every single emotional note it wants to. If you haven't seen this yet, go watch it.That's not a recommendation. That's an order.

5. SignalisI finished this game 2 days ago and it's still haunting me. An absolute masterpiece of a game. A scifi robot survival horror doesn't sound like it'd be up my alley, but it is. It's not... exactly a scary game but it makes up for that with the sheer emotional weight it throws at you. This is a game I've picked up, played for an hour or 2 and then had to put it down just because of how oppressively heavy it feels.That's not a complaint by the way. I love it when games atmosphere is so intense, it's world filled with such a sense that everything has a place and the feeling that even though you're getting further, you also probably won't ever know all the answers.A lot of modern media have this desire to be "solved". Signalis has all the details of a game begging to be "solved" but at the same time feels like it won't ever be. And... that's really beautiful. It's just a really strong, really satisfying story that leaves me begging for more. And that's the way I like my stories.I really recommend this one, it's more likely than not going to be my GOTY of 2023 (even though it released in 2022).Link to get it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1262350/SIGNALIS/

6. Fate/Extella: the Umbral Star (and Link)This is one of those games that's hard to sell to people. I mean this is a sequel to Fate/Extra but at the same time it's not a direct sequel yet it expect you to know the lore of Extra to feel at home. That said, this is without a doubt one of the better musou games I've played.On the whole the Umbral Star plays better than Link, which was a bit too easy for my liking, even on hard mode. That in mind though, Link adds some of the cooler servants in the franchise as playale characters. The story mode of the original Extella is quite good, if a bit fanservice-y. Can recommend the games easily though. Best version to get for the original is definitely the Switch port if you have the chance - all DLC and extra costumes are bundled and given to you upon completion of the story mode, no extra payments necessary.For Link, just get it wherever really. Any system it's on will probably be able to handle it.https://store.steampowered.com/app/511680/FateEXTELLA/
