Ace Attorney Series		[2001-2024]. Funny, dumb, not how the law works. 10/10.
Assassin's Creed III		[2012]. I'm one of those fans that think AC 3 and Connor did nothing wrong. Stop hating on my boy.
Assassin's Creed: Black Flag		[2013]. The best AC game. Mary Read, my beloved.
Assassin's Creed: Rogue		[2014]. shorter AC entry but it's actually great. Haters don't know what's up... AGAIN.
Borderlands 2		[2012]. Childhood classic, playing this after school for days and days. I'm a Zer0 or Gaige main.

Skate 3		[2010]. Do a back-flip! Bring back doing magazine photoshoots and promo videos...
Spy Fox in Dry Cereal		[1997]. A childhood game. I was not very smart as a child so it was kind of hard.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order		[2019]. I am an enjoyer of the pre-Disney Star Wars era (yeah, I like the prequels). This game felt like it was channeling that spirit.
Style Savvy Series		[2008-2017]. I like dress-up games! More, more!! Where did they all go?
Tales from the Borderlands		[2014-2015]. One of the better Tell Tale games, a great cast and story.

Watch_Dogs		[2016]. I was justifying why this game doesn't suck since I was fifteen years old, I am still here.

Movies...

9		[2009]. Puppet horror for children. Amazing.
American Movie		[1999]. People say that it's an exploitative doc, but I genuinely appreciate the subjects who chase their dreams in this film.
Barbie Diaries		[2006]. The best entry in the Barbie-verse. Who cares if she's exciting, fresh, and fun? Please she sounds like a deodorant.
Blue Gate Crossing		[2002]. I'm always nostalgic for Asian cities in the 2000s. Also gay.
Broken		[2012]. Childhood is such a strange time because you first encounter the dark and the mundane that adults take for normal.
Cafe Lumiere		[2003]. A very slow paced film about little mysteries. Not sugary, which is how I like them.
The Daytrippers		[1996]. Is it Autumn? Watch this right now.
Drop Dead Gorgeous		[1999]. So funny. A star-studded cast.
The Faculty		[1998]. Corny alien-invasion teen horror movie from the 90s. Just right.
The Fall		[2006]. A pretty film with amazing set design and costuming.
Get Real		[1998]. Super underrated coming of age queer cinema.
Happy-Go-Lucky		[2008]. I was a teacher once. But that's not what this film is really about.
Housekeeping		[1987]. Strange folk stick together.
Momo		[2001]. Yes, the anti-capitalist life-affirming animated feature is here. It's about a girl and her time-turtle.
Napoleon Dynamite		[2004]. Duh, it's Napoleon Dynamite.
New Waterford Girl		[1999]. Weird little film with an awesome lead. Lots of dark long sweaters.
Rushmore		[1998]. Favourite Wes Anderson film.
Saved!		[2004]. Love a comedy about Christianity. Hitting the board for the lord?
Sinbad		[2003]. One of the best animated films ever. Why is everyone drawn so hot?
Song of the Sea		[2014]. Probably what pushed me to do an animation degree.
Stick It		[2006]. So good, a common re-watch. 2000s fashion, cool main character, quotable to no end.
Sunshine		[2007]. My favourite sci-fi space-y movie. Cillian Murphy's eyes will jumpscare you, in a nice way.
Surf's Up		[2007]. Fuck it. Surfing penguins. Hilarious.
Treasure Planet		[2002]. Imagine if we got more set in this world? I would give a new-born that I'm never having for it.
Trick or Treat		[1986]. My Halloween pick. Is it scary? No. But it's about metal, man!
The Trotsky		[2009]. Jay Baruchel thinks he is Leon Trotsky re-incarante. He goes to high school.
Win Win		[2011]. Just a pleasant viewing. Sad enough to be good. Paul Giamatti is actually very good.
Zero Day		[2003]. This is the scariest movie I've ever seen.

series...

American Vandal		[2017-2018]. This show deserved more, fuck you Netflix. I've never been more captured by a mystery concerning dick-drawing.
Due South		[1994-1999]. Fraser is what I wish cops actually were... not shooting people, being civil, you know, doing their job?
The Expanse		[2019-2022].The BEST sci-fi space show. Drummer, my beloved.
Freaks and Geeks		[1999-2000]. Just a perfect coming-of-age story. Linda Cardellini is literally the cutest.
Lie to Me		[2009-2011]. I know the micro-expressions science is mostly nonsense but goddamit, it's cool.
Nirvana The Band The Show		[2017-2018]. It's just so fucking funny. It's actually very elevated humour, trust me.
Severance		[2022-Ongoing]. Big companies are evil.
Silicon Valley		[2014-2019]. Just full of bad people in tech (excpet for Jared). Comedy genius.
Twin Peaks		[1990-2017]. Redacted.

Anime/Manga...

ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka		[2013-2016]. I love Natsume Ono, they are my favourite mangaka. This political mystery is awesome.
Barakamon		[2014]. Peak slice-of-life, city guy in the country-side is an excellent trope.
Blame!		[1998-2003]. Manga-only, the grit and total hopelessness does not translate to screen.
Bucchigiri?!		[2024]. Everyone hated this. Not me, baby. Not me.
Ergo Proxy		[2006]. Masterpiece, slow as hell, visually amazing, just right.
Haikyuu!!		[2014-2020]. My choice of sports shounen.
Lovely★Complex		[2007]. I don't like a romance unless it's about weirdos. Stop normalizing normal people.
Medalist		[2020-Ongoing]. The anime is coming out this winter season but I'm already crazy about the manga.
Mob Psycho 100		[2016-2020]. Another perfect creation.
Mushishi		[1999-2008]. For all of us lacking spiritual welfare.
Nabari no Ou		[2004-2010]. It's really not a Naruto rip-off. It's much stranger and the art is amazing.
Sakamoto Days		[2020-Ongoing]. A recent addition to my reading list, fun, found-family goodness, and great art.
Samurai Champloo		[2004-2005]. It got it all, fun, drama, killer soundtrack... samurais.
Saraiya Goyou		[2006-2010]. More samurais. More grounded too. Natsume Ono's best.
Shimanami Tasogare		[2015-2018]. Cried like baby when I first read it. Must-read.
Shounen Note		[2010-2014]. Yuhki Kamatani does not miss. Anyone got the last ten chapters in English?
Tongari no Boushi Atelier		[2016-Ongoing]. This is probably the most beautiful manga to ever be made. The costuming alone is out of this world.

Cartoons...

6teen		[2004-2010]. Beautiful wonky flash animation of the 2000s. Jude is who I wish I was.
Adventure Time		[2010-2018]. Probably the quintessential show for old zoomers.

Gravity Falls		[2012-2016]. In tears about it still.

Over The Garden Wall		[2014]. Everyone is afraid of what they don't know.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars		[2008-2020]. Yes, I was an Ahsoka stan when she was still "annoying".

W.I.T.C.H		[2004-2006]. Italian magical girl wonder.
