Neon Genesis Evangelion

After a long time I've finally watched the Evangelion series. This was the kind of series that I keep thinking about even now. While I do think about everything, this is one of those things that I keep thinking about because of how it's impacted me in some way. It's something that despite feeling fictional, it also felt pretty realistic and painfully relatable at times when it came to the characters and story.

People tend to say it's the kind of series that either causes an existential crisis, or helps them go through one, and as someone who's seen the series, I can definitely say that both are right. I actually ended up liking the ending of the series even if it did feel odd.

Definitely interested in watching the rest!

Skybound Transformers Vol. 1: Robots In Disguise

Finally got around to read the Skybound comics! While the trade can be frustrating considering there's no break between issues like a cover of some kind, the comic is still very well paced! While I do feel like the comic could get too violent at times for my own tastes, it was still a fun new take on the G1 version of the universe that left me wanting to see what happened next and where the characters were going to end up in the end.

The End Of Evangelion

The first thing I thought of when the film ended was, "What the fuck happened?"

It was insane thinking about how many memes truly were inspired by this film and the series that preceded it. I remember walking in only being familiar with the ending of the film, the hospital scene, and the choking scene, but watching the film for the first time was a feeling unlike anything I had felt before. I felt like I was in Shinji's shoes as my own psyche deteriorate just trying to figure out what was happening even as I was already following along with what had happened before.

The film and original series left me with a feeling that few stories have been able to inflict on me, and one that I wish to replicate in my own work at some point. That feeling is hard to describe, but if I were to try to, it would be dread, fear, aw, and shock. It's the kind of feeling where you can only know it once you saw the film itself, and experienced it in a very similar way.

Puella Magi Madoka Magika

This was a short anime series that was recommended by my friend, Mike, or Ivipl1. The series, similar to Evangelion, proved to be pretty impactful on me and produce a similar reaction outta me to the latter, though the reaction was a bit more somber than Evangelion's. It's the kinda show where if you wanna see young people struggle to fight against horrors beyond human comprehension and existential crisises and suffering all at once, you got it all right here.

Evangelion Rebirth Series

Was always wanting to try this series out even if there was a chance I wouldn't like it in the end. In the end I was able to find a way to watch them, and ended up watching all four of the Rebirth films in one day, which I guess is kind of an interesting experience. In the end while the film series may not be as good as, or at least hold up the same as, the OG series, I still ended up liking the film series a lot. I kind of wish that the series would've been an anime series instead of a film series, if only so that the series could explore certain parts of the films more, but even then, I still really liked and appreciated the new approach the series and characters, and I felt that the ending really hit home to me.

Super Lesbian Animal RPG

A game that was recommended to me by my friend, Graymin, and has pretty much become Tsunake's favorite game! Not too big of a surprise if you know anything about her, but this is another of those games/series that ended up becoming a joy for us as a system to enjoy, and it's gotten to the point where she's been wanting us to make more art of furry characters from things like Sonic and SLARPG!

Half Life VR But The AI Is Self-Aware

I participated in a watchparty of HLVRAI with my friends, and really enjoyed it! While on the one hand it was fun to see how this influenced my friend, Ivi, it was also just really funny and also a pretty good series that has led me to wanting to explore more of RTVS at some point.

Half Life: Alyx Living Gnome Saga

After watching HLVRAI, I watched the gnome saga, which was another series that Ivi really liked and is near and dear in his heart. I overall had a lot of fun with it, and just like HLVRAI, it's really good and worth the watch.

Ultrakill (Predlude-Fraud)

Ultrakill became the hyperfixation for me and my mates for this month. Right now, it is Ellos's favorite game, and we've been enjoying the game a lot! So far we haven't P-ranked every level, but we're getting there.

The Entirety Of Breaking Bad Retold As A VR Game

Ivipl1 started sharing the beginning of this with me and my friends and had us watch the rest by ourselves. Really enjoyed it, and as someone who knew what happened over the course of the show, I found it to be funny and somewhat accurate. I think this started making me finally continue watching Breaking Bad for the first time.

Telltale's Sam & Max Trilogy Remastered

Over the course of five months, me and my friends have been doing a Sam & Max marathon where we go through the different Sam & Max games that were remastered by Skuncape Games. Even though looking back, the games might not've aged well in certain aspects, I still enjoyed the games, and I'm glad I was able to introduce them to my friends.

Invincible (Seasons 1-4 + Atom Eve Special)

Decided to watch the show for the first time last month after getting recommended it so much by my brother and friends. I ended up enjoying the show a lot. Definitely flawed in some aspects, but I still had a lot of fun with it. While watching it, it almost made me want to make some sort of superhero thing based on how I felt while emersed in the show. Can't wait for Season 5!

DeltaRune Chapter 5

I overall really liked this chapter. While Chapter 4 may still be my favorite chapter thus far, this is a very close second for me. I love the aesthetics of the Dark World, the OST I feel is underrated right now, and this Chapter has my favorite Dark World and Secret Boss! Very interested to see where it all goes from here and what Chapters 6 & 7 will offer us.

The Weird Route in this chapter was incredibly uncomfortable for me, and I feel has been the darkest thing Toby has made yet.
