about the records
here's a log of media i've experienced, which likely does not include everything since there's just too much to remember or maybe i'd rather forget about it for whatever reason tehe.
i've put a star next to my favorites, but i don't abide by number ratings since i feel like they don't properly convey my feelings for a piece of media. often times i enjoy things that are considered bad
or may not enjoy something that's considered good,
so instead i go by vibes. what matters most to me is how much fun i had, regardless of the quality! i would love to share detailed thoughts, but one) there's too many things to go through and two) it's been some time since i've seen most of these things. you can tell which things i watched most recently by how detailed my reviews are haha.
that said, feel free to hit me up regarding anything here! i'm always happy to talk about them.
- unlike the other tabs, shows here are listed in production order as opposed to alphabetical (except for
other toku
) complete
does not necessarily include movies, specials, or spin-offs, but most of the time i've watched a given show's extra content

| makai senki ★ | complete | vibes. really great follow up to the original garo |
| lament of the dark dragon ★ | complete | vibes |
| yami wo terasu mono ★ | complete | i love both kouga and ryuga equally, but something about ryuga's journey really gets to me. him earning the right to be garo rather than being born into it truly made for a wonderful story |
| the tougen flute | complete | vibes |

| zero: black blood - black chapter | complete | vibes |
| makai no hana | complete | kind of vibe with it, but i think it had a lot of missed potential |

| gold storm (show) | complete | vibes, but it took a while for me to appreciate it |
| biku | complete | vibes |
| makai retsuden ★ | complete | absolutely adored this, i love seeing moments in everyone's lives throughout the franchise and how they're like as the protagonist of their own stories. i think we need another makai tales tbh |
| ashura | complete | vibes. i don't know a thing about wrestling, but i watched it with my bestie who's into wrestling, so that was a hoot |
| zero: dragon blood | complete | i love rei, but a lot of the writing decisions made me ??? |
| kami no kiba | complete | vibes |
| jinga | complete | don't talk to me about this show unless you want a 10 page thesis about my beef with it |
| ★ moonbow traveler | complete | genuinely such a beautiful way to close the saejimas' story |
| versus road | complete | gets too much flack imo, i absolutely love it as a deconstruction of garo's themes and think it did it very well |
| hagane o tsugu mono | complete | a fun return to the garo franchise and ryuga-verse, although i think it would have really helped had it more episodes to flesh everything out |
other toku
| title | progress | vibe check |
|---|---|---|
| akibaranger ★ | complete | absolute vibes, such a fun view of sentai from a meta perspective |
| the high school heroes ★ | complete | loved this a lot more than i thought i would, i would love to see them again some day |
| kanpai senshi after v | complete | vibes, much like akibaranger vibes |

| shin kamen rider ★ | complete | changed my life, if i have to be completely honest |
| shin ultraman | complete | vibes |
| title | progress | vibe check |
|---|---|---|
| anohana (2015) | complete | lovely adaptation of the anime |
| bl drama no shuen ni narimashita: crank up hen | complete | watched this for abe aran, but honestly i'm surprised at how much i enjoyed this. good humor with great chemistry between the leads |
| final fantasy xiv: hikari no otou-san | complete | very cute and heartwarming, plus it was fun seeing all the toku stars |
| good morning call | complete | watched it for shiraishi shunya. it's cute, but not particularly groundbreaking |
| good morning call: our campus day | complete | every time i think about it, i get mad that nao, uehara, and natsume didn't end up in a polycule |
| heavenly forest | complete | vibes |
| jigoku shoujo (2006) ★ | complete | i think this might be my favorite version of jigoku shoujo. it's like if jigoku shoujo were a toku series, plus i think it handled the overarching story better than the anime |
| jigoku shoujo (2019) | complete | vibes |
| kahogona wakadanna-sama no amayakashi kon | complete | watched this for takano akira. it's cute, but nothing groundbreaking. fun to watch if you need to kill time |
| kimi no te ga sasayaite iru ★ | complete | a very lovely story that really moved me. i'm speaking as a hearing person so this might not mean much, but i think it handled the subject material very carefully. although it's difficult to live in a hearing society when one can't hear, i'm very glad it showed how beautiful it can be to be deaf |
| koisenu futari ★ | complete | words can't capture how much i love this show, especially as someone who's aroace. i was worried about how it would portray aromanticism and asexuality, but it's such a wonderful story and absolutely worth checking out |
| konya sukiyaki da yo ★ | complete | similar to koisenu futari, words don't do this show justice. another wonderful story that features an aromantic character, except it's about her navigating adulthood and her intimate relationship with an allo friend rather than a journey of self-discovery. absolutely adore it to bits |
| my broken mariko ★ | complete | i was sobbing for most of the movie, this is definitely a story that will stay with me for a long time. i read this before the manga, but i think it does the manga justice |
| my tomorrow, your yesterday | complete | vibes |
| ochanomizu rock ★ | complete | adore it with all my heart |
| pocket ni boken wo tsumekonde | complete | very cute! sort of like hikari no otou-san, but more lighthearted |
| switch girl!! | eps 1/8 | watched this for kiriyama renn, but i think i didn't continue just because it was hard to find subs at the time it was airing. maybe i'll pick it up again |
| taikan yoho | eps 1/8 | watched this because i thought the idea of zox zenkaiger and momoi taro donbrothers as leads in a bl was amusing, but it didn't really grab me. however, i will not deny that their photoshoots are Aesthetic and i kinda wanna continue it for the inspiration they give me— |
| tokusatsu gagaga ★ | complete | speaks to me on a spiritual level like no other piece of media has |
| yu yu hakusho | complete | despite being so short, i think it really captured the spirit of the original yu yu hakusho. i enjoyed it a lot, it would be nice to see more of this adaption |
| title | progress | vibe check |
|---|---|---|
| moon in the day ★ | complete | watched this on a whim, ended up obsessed. everything from the aesthetic to the narrative was catered to my tastes i think |
| parasite | complete | vibes are off the charts. i went in without knowing what it was about and was so shook (in a good way) |
| title | progress | vibe check |
|---|---|---|
| link click ★ | complete | a fantastic adaptation of the donghua! despite its differences, i feel like it really captures what makes link click what it is |
| the story of pearl girl | complete | also watched this one a whim and was prepared to drop this once i started to feel the love triangle coming on... but got very invested when i realized it was so much more than a romance drama. i loved the characters and watching them overcome their struggles, it was very women empowering |
| title | progress | vibe check |
|---|---|---|
| anne with an e ★ | complete | vibed with it a lot, it resonated with my inner victorian era maiden |
| charmed ★ | complete | grew up with this and absolutely adore it despite all its flaws and faults |
| ghost whisperer | complete | also one of those things i watched growing up. i vibe with it |
| his dark materials (2019) | complete | vibes. read the books as a kid, but i remember only 1% of what happened, so watching the show was Wild |
| the chilling adventures of sabrina | parts 3/4 | vibed with it for the most part, i just got lazy about finishing it |
| the good place ★ | complete | knew this show from the memes, got interested in it based on the premise, fell in love with it for its portrayal of life and death and the meaning we make out of it. genuinely, what a masterpiece of a show. it's one of those things i'm grateful i watched, and will carry its story with me for a good while |
| title | progress | vibe check |
|---|---|---|
| aggretsuko | s2/4 | vibed with the seasons i watched, but what i heard of the latter seasons didn't really grab me so i haven't bothered watching the rest |
| amnesia | complete | i want to say i vibed with it but i also can't remember a thing LMFAO i guess i thought it was a decent enough adaption at least |
| anohana | complete | when i tell you i cried, I Cried |
| bishoujo senshi sailor moon | complete | my childhood ♥ |
| bishoujo senshi sailor moon crystal | s1 only | i heard the rest of the show gets better which is cool, but i was kinda underwhelmed by s1. revo composed moon prideby the way, which is an absolute banger |
| byousoku 5 centimenter | complete | couldn't get into it despite the hype. honestly, all of shinkai's works are pretty but Not for me |
| colorful (2010) ★ | complete | really resonated me... a very powerful movie, i think |
| death billiards | complete | vibes |
| death parade ★ | complete | absolute vibes, really resonated with me |
| demashita! powerpuff girls z! | 24/52 | super cute adaption of powerpuff girls! i think i just didn't finish it because it was hard to find subs |

| digimon adventure 02 | complete | vibes |
| digimon adventure tri | m4/6 | kinda surprised i stuck with it as long as i did because i wasn't really into it |
| digimon frontier ★ | complete | i don't care what the haters say, this is my favorite digimon series of all time. it's definitely not perfect, but i love the concept and the characters and the messages it told |
| digimon tamers | complete | vibes. genuinely such a good show |
| donten ni warau ★ | complete | ABSOLUTE VIBES, i adore this series with all my heart |
| fate/stay night: heaven's feel | complete | i've never been able to get into the fate series no matter how hard i try, but i watched it with a friend and tbh i kinda vibe with it |
| free! | complete | i adored this anime so much as a teen. i still feel warm feelings when i think about the first two seasons. the third season frustrated me so bad it turned me off from free! as a series though LMFAO |
| gangsta | 4/12 | vibed with this hard, i think i just got lazy about keeping up with it |
| gaikotsu shotenin honda-san | complete | super fun vibes |
| gake no ue no ponyo | complete | ponyo, my beloved. one of my fave ghibli films |
| gakuen babysitters | complete | this healed my soul |
| golden kamuy | complete | i didn't know too much about it going in, but it was definitely one hell of a ride in the best way possible! it balances seriousness and humor so well while delving into complex characters and relationships, and i appreciate how much respect there is given to ainu culture |
| hataraku saibou | 3/13 | watched it because i enjoyed the manga, and it's a vibe. i think i just got lazy about finishing it |
| hunter x hunter (2011) | complete | vibes. this would've changed my brain chemistry if i'd watched it as a kid |
| hypnosis mic: division rap battle - rhyme anima | complete | does its job, but it's not my fave iteration of hypnosis mic. i found s2 more enjoyable watching it as a comedy, and i give it more points for the doomed found family and tragic yaoi. banger ost all around though |
| jigoku shoujo | complete | vibes. very much enjoy how it explored its premise in many different ways without getting boring |
| joker game ★ | complete | much of my undergraduate life was spent dedicated to this show. i adore it for the way it makes you think and how much better all the details get with every rewatch. this is the show that also got me to take my art and writing more seriously, and i thank it for that and all the wonderful fandom memories it gave me |
| kageki shoujo!! ★ | complete | so many vibes, i absolutely adore this show and each of its characters |
| kaguya-hime no monogatari | complete | i vibe heavily with it. one of my favorite ghibli films |

| koe no katachi ★ | complete | i vibed very much with it, i think it was a lovely adaptation of the manga |

| konjiki no gash bell!! | complete | the childhood vibes are off the charts |
| kotonoha no niwa | complete | the shinkai film i ask how did this get so popularthe most |
| kyoukai no kanata | complete | vibes |
| mahou shoujo madoka magica | complete | i think the original madoka gets blamed too much for the sins of those who tried to imitate it and failed to grasp what madoka was about. there's definitely a lot to critique in madoka, but i think i enjoyed it for what it was |
| mahoutsukai no yome | complete | vibes. makes me feel warm feelings |
| mob psycho 100 ★ | complete | makes me believe in the good of people |
| mononoke (2007) | complete | absolute vibes and absolutely Aesthetic |
| mononoke: karakasa | complete | man, what a vibe it is to experience mononoke in the year of our lord 2024. captures the original mononoke's essence perfectly while still holding well on it's own |

| sayonara no asa ni yakusoku no hana wo kazarou ★ | complete | one of those movies that absolutely devastated me. i don't think it's perfect, but my god did it tug my heart |
| sennen joyuu ★ | complete | one of my favorite kon movies!! absolutely love the atmosphere and the way it blended the past and present |
| shoujo kakumei utena | complete | tbh i feel like this was so hyped up that it didn't really meet my expectations when i watched it, but after thinking about it... it really is a classic. the movie was also very fantasic |
| shoujo kageki revue starlight ★ | complete | genuinely revitalized my love for theater, it reminded me of how much i love performing and inspired me to return to the stage some day. revstar as a whole is just very special to me, it's such an amazing series! i want to give a special shoutout to the movie because that genuinely changed my life. the anime is good, but the movie is really the cherry on top |
| so ra no wo to | complete | i adored this so much when i first watched it, very much vibes |
| subarashiki kono sekai the animation | complete | a fine adaptation of the game, i don't really have complaints so much as it's that i think that there's no experience like the game itself |
| tengen toppa gurren lagann (movie) | complete | i'm going to watch the anime itself some day i promise, but i've been meaning to watch gurren lagann for so long and i really enjoyed the experience! it definitely lives up to the hype |
| thunderbolt fantasy ★ | complete (waiting for the finale movie!) | this is so difficult categorize, but its unique nature is exactly why it's one of my favorite works! this gave me such an appreciation for the art of puppetry, the way it weaves such an intricate tale and conveys emotions through these puppets is simply amazing |
| tokyo godfathers ★ | complete | another one of my favorite kon movies! blends drama and humor very well while also being incredibly real |
| vanitas no karte | 8/12 | the only reason i didn't finish this is because i was watching it with friends and our schedules no longer lined up 😭 but as someone who didn't read the original manga, i enjoyed what i was able to watch very much! |
| versailles no bara ★ | complete | if i had watched this during my formative years, i would've based my entire personality on lady oscar. honeslty i didn't know what to expect, but it was such a wonderful and moving experience! i'm also so impressed at how accurate it is of the history |
| violet evergarden | complete | it's a very beautiful anime and it was pretty nice, but personally i prefer the original novel |
| xxxHOLiC | complete | i haven't read the original manga, but i really enjoyed it |
| yami shibai | complete | very fun if you enjoy spooky things |
